Samurai Sanders posted:No, there's just something about Liu Bei that doesn't support the idea of two swords to me. One sword yeah, but not two. And Huang Gai having a boat as a weapon is so natural I can't believe they didn't think of it before. Having a single sword you can hold out all authoritatively-like fits the traditional idea of a ruler better.

Guan Yu's ghost possessing Lu Meng, insulting Sun Quan by calling him a 'purple-bearded rat,' and then killing Lu Meng by 'vomiting blood from his seven orifices' is still a hella metal scene. Also raises Guan Yu to one of the three people in the novel to scare the crap out of others after they had died. Also I just played through the Jin historical route and it really drives home the 'and then everything slowly descended into a pile of mediocrity and failure' of the last parts of the novel.

How in the hell am I supposed to rescue Guo Huai to unlock the Jin hypothetical? I blaze through the stage, I kill everyone within seconds of them showing up, but I still can't reach him in time before Li Jian shows up and Guo Huai gets wounded.

Tae posted:The AI is a fickle thing. I've had Chen Gong on the last hypothetical Lu Bu stage solo Liu Bei and Zhang Fei somehow while I was trying to rescue him. I think if you play that stage normally your Morale should be soaring by that point, so it's no surprise. Even funnier when Lu Bu goes 'There's no way Chen Gong is a match for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I should go save him' and then he beats all of them before you even reach that spot.

Unlucky7 posted:Sima Yi (As portrayed in DW) strikes me as someone who would totally have a secret base on a Volcanic Island, with a private military that wear funny costumes. (He would be Cobra Commander is what I am saying) The way he joins in the Hypothetical route is even more ridiculous. I dunno why they suddenly decided on 'benevolence' as the Shu catchall word. Or why Zhuge Liang, who was a massive jerk in the novel (and therefore massively entertaining), has to be the one to espouse this theory.

Allarion posted:Yeah, it's decent enough. Controlling four different characters on the map is an interesting change, and the zone morale makes things more challenging than the typical Musou game since high enemy morale actually makes enemy soldiers and officers harder to kill. There's no Free mode though so you only have the main campaign and extra chapters to replay, so no playing as the opposite army in a battle. Though I'm pretty sure the Story mode has a way for you to unlock you playing on either side in every battle. Naturally the Warlords of the era are totally cool with this.

Schneider Heim posted:I understand that you use a CAW, can you change his/her weapons? It's not a CAW, you just choose a male or female character, each with a different main weapon. You can customize their costume somewhat, but nothing major. You can use the weapons of other officers when you raise your relationship with them high enough. Except Fuma Kotaro, I think, because of his stretchy arms.

The Wei campaign is the closest thing to realism because Wei was always the strongest of the 3, but how they handle the endgame is ridiculous. The Wu campaign is straight up surreal.

The funny thing about Lu Bu is that if you actually read the novel his skill in battle is very quickly de-emphasized in favour of stressing that the dude had about as much political acumen as a tube of toothpaste. Of course in Dynasty Warriors you can murder entire armies stupid enough to disagree with you so it matters less.

Palladium posted:http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/688499-dynasty-warriors-8/67959135 Lu Bu has inherent Hyper mode but that's tied to his musou and therefore not all that reliable. The other big gamebreaker thing about him is actually his weapon switch, which anyone can make use of regardless of affinity. Also his EX moves are pretty bad.

I remain baffled how over the years and with the big characterization shakeup of 6 onwards Liu Bei has somehow only gotten MORE two-dimensional and flat. Just copy-paste Three Kingdoms 2010 Liu Bei or something, jeez.

The last pages are also pretty boring because all the heroes and villains you've been reading about are all dead and the Sima clan doesn't even really pull off any great feats (except maybe Deng Ai), they just roll in and kick over the rotten structures propping up what's left of the Three Kingdoms.
