That's pretty bad yea. I'm using a wired 360 controller and it gives me the problem I mentioned, but nothing as extreme as yours. I doubt its worth buying one whole controller for one game though. RIP Sanurai Sanders.

If it is due to the controller itself, it's the only game that has any problem with using the controller this way. The PS4 controller is the perfect thing otherwise. No games seem to know or care that it isn't a 360 controller.

Playing DW8PC again, there's still something else about the gamepad controls that is off, and I can't put my finger on it at all. It just feels wrong all the time and I stop playing after one stage and go to another game.

I have given up on the PC version of DW8 ever getting over whatever controller problem it has, but when the hell is the PS4 version ever going to go on sale?

What are the language options for SW4 on the PS4?

There are no options to speak of: it's Japanese voices with English text. The lack of English voiceovers disappoints me, but it's still a great game.

Yeah, I have it on the PS3, but I had a wild thought about trying the PS4 version (and the Japanese version still costs seven bazillion yen). I don't know how they are different though, apart from more dudes on the screen I assume.

PS4 has more dudes, more/better visual effects, and better textures/models. Also, the framerate seems to be higher, but I haven't see the PS3 version in motion to compare. It definitely feels/looks smoother than DW8 on my PS3.

Some comparisons (PS3 then PS4):

Hm. Well, it should be noted that SW4 on the PS3 is a huge leap ahead of any other Musou game in graphics already. The environments actually look seriously good for once.

I haven't played the PS4 version but the PS3 version is the best looking Musou game I have played.

Is Hyrule Warriors a remarkable Musou game even if I don't have strong feelings about the Zelda series?

# ¿ Oct 26, 2014 17:34

Samurai Sanders: Nov 4, 2003; Pillbug

Hm, the frame rate on Hyrule Warriors is pretty rough compared to what I have become accustomed to with the last few Musou games. Other than that it's pretty good.

I think Kojuro Katakura has turned me gay. Well, gayer.

I have no idea how his weapon actually works though, it just seems to shoot out coloured crap at random.

Yeah, I have been wondering that as well. I think it's a swordgun embedded in a shield, but it seems to be magic as well. Unless I'm forgetting something, it's definitely the most confusing Musou weapon yet.

Just picked up SW4 for the ps4, and I'm not sure if Hyrule Warriors just spoiled me or not but the combat feels way clunkier, or maybe it's just how Oda and No play (only played one map so far) Looks great graphically at least.

That's weird, I thought Hyrule was a disaster control-wise compared to any other Musou game, especially SW4, which I think is the smoothest so far.

Too bad those early scans from Famitsu are always too small to actually read the text other than the headline. I'm sure it's written right there exactly what it is, but as much as I squint I can't read it.

Huh, in the comments on the article on Hachima's blog, people are talking like this (and not XL) is the result of some lawsuit by Capcom. I have no idea what it could be though.

The correct answer is to hope it's Dragon's Dogma 2, anyways.

DD is literally the only Capcom thing in the last decade I give a poo poo about (well, Basara 2 was pretty good), so yeah.

It sounds like a new BASARA game is being announced next year. Where can they go from here?

Might as well not even set it in Japanese history anymore, for how little 4 had to do with anything other than anime tropes.

No bios, unfortunately. The Orochi series is not friendly to people new to DW/SW.

Probably, since it's basically an XL expansion only they're not allowed to do those any more because Capcom.

I guess they're just following Bamco on this, with the DLC costing more than the game itself.

I really, really don't think SB4 is very good and doubt this one will be either. It's just too ridiculously inward focused and free of connections to anything real.

Sengoku Basara being unreal is the best part about it. And the mechanical design for characters is better than DW imo.

But i mean where else were they going to go? A wacky life sim about Ieyasu trying to keep the surviving daimyo from screwing up Edo? I mean that sounds amazing...but I'd rather the ghost of Nobunaga threaten Japan with a demon powered satellite cannon, or whatever Capcom cooks up or something.

When's Orochi 4????

I guess I agree. Since they have completely abandoned the historical narrative other than a few set character rivalries here and there, they might as well go ALL the way over, rather than just kind of mucking around like now.

Does anyone think 8XL would be a good purchase for someone who got WO3 played through it through chapter 3-4ish but stopped partly because of the lack of story (or rather probably attachments to the characters)?

Basically as well, does it play at least somewhat differently than WO3 to make it worth while? Maybe the ambition? (the one where you conquer a map) will add enough window dressing to feel fresh?

I enjoyed both it and WO3, and it certainly does more to explain the characters and stuff than WO3 does. Playing Orochi first would seriously confuse the gently caress out of anyone.

I want to know about the performance on the PS4 though. I have it on the PC but due to an unresolved controller issue that I gave up on a long time ago, I don't play it.

edit: ambition mode is awful though.

Davincie posted:

don't do wo3 as your first game, people get confused by not knowing the 100+ characters. Get dw8 or sw4

Yeah, which sucks because WO3 is a great place to start in other respects. Would it have killed them to put in a simple character encyclopedia or something?

Woah, what? Are you sure it wasn't just armchair analysis? Were there any sources?

Yeah I'll need a source too. There's a lot of bullshit floating around about how X Japanese game dev is on the edge of destruction, but it's usually just that they had a bad quarter or something.

edit: According to this, they are doing very well in both sales and profits.

Isn't the Warrior series incredibly popular with women in Japan and that's why all the men look the way the do? Or was that just some joke thing I read on the internet. Either way, even though the western press like to bash the franchises a lot, it would be a real shame if they ever stop making these games. There are no others like it on the market, which is really loving weird.

I dunno about incredibly popular but apparently it does have a female userbase over there that most action games don't. I'm all for it, since it brings even the slightest bit of balance to how the characters are treated as far as who rescues who or whatever.

Anyway, talk about them cancelling the Warriors series is complete and utter nonsense without a single shred of legitimacy.

Samurai Warriors 4-2 released last week in Japan, right? Anyone try it yet?

No, as usual I just have Amazon.jp reviews to go off of. They are not so favorable of it as a full-priced product, since it's just a fairly small expansion pack to SW4.

edit: unlike XL it has no level carryover from vanilla SW4, so I hope you like leveling all your characters from 1 again.

So what's the deal with Nobunaga being treated as some sort of Great Demon Lord of Conquest in all the video games?

I'm not familiar enough with the history to see why he ends up... vilified? Celebrated? Celebratorily vilified?

Compared to all the other rear end in a top hat backstabbing betraying murdering warlords of the time, what makes him stand out as especially memorable in the Japanese consciousness as an ideal video game bad guy?

I don't know how to put it into words, but anyway watch Kagemusha or something, don't just go off video games.
