I could be just me, but in WO3 does the Samurai Warriors Muosu attacks seem very weak? It honestly feels stronger to just do the Muosu special attacks most of the time.

Might be a stupid question, but you are aware that you need to hold down the musou button for them to do their special musou attacks? It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that Nobunaga has magic powers because he was also interested in foreign sorcery, i.e. Christianity.

I would say that's more because of the whole Oda Nobunaga was a demon meme.

Dynasty Warriors won't end until they have mapped through the history of China and literally made every person in Chinese military history a playable character.

EDIT: By the way, Sun Tzu should be a secret unlockable one of these days.

Why stick with military history? I want to unleash Deng Xiaoping's musou on the Gang of Four.

The last Dynasty Warriors game I played was 5, so I'm looking into possibly getting 7 at some point. Since there's an Xtreme Legends, do I just need to get that? Or is it like just an expansion pack that requires the original game in order to play Musou mode?

It's an expansion pack that requires the original game in order to play Musou mode. I'm not certain because I don't have any friends, but I believe XL is required to play campaign in coop.

So does that mean that the DW7XL disc has all of the content from the original DW7 on it and I will be able to unlock everything if I poopsock hard enough?

No, you won't be able to access the campaign/musou mode (and conquest mode?) no matter how hard you poop.

Warriors Orochi 1 also came out in English on the PC. There is also an abandoned translation fanpatch for Warriors Orochi Z (WO1+2), iirc it translated the UI and the Shu campaign of WO2.

Empires 7 was released today in Europe, anyone pick it up?

Sort of. I preordered it, but the place I ordered from got too few units at first so I won't get the game until early next week, hopefully Monday. And I was planning on using it to celebrate that I wrote an exam today

Does anyone know if DW7 Xtreme legends was released in Australia? I'm having a bit of trouble finding it on shop websites, or was it a PS store thing?

I'm slightly bored of Empires and I missed DW7 when it came out, and I miss the storytelling aspect. Is XL worth hunting down or is DW7 worth it alone?

If you can get XL on the cheap it is worth it, it doesn't really add anything significant to the campaign (I seem to remember a Guo Jia-spotting). It's nice to have proper weapons for Xiahou Dun and friends though.

Additionally, if you are one of those masochists who must get every trophy then you will need to play the game without XL, as XL won't award the trophies of the base game.

Am I correct when assuming one should not start out on Hard or Chaos difficulty when first playing DW7?

Yes. Since levels are persistent between playthroughs, higher difficulties should not be attempted until you've significantly levelled up your characters.

You can't earn trophies for the original game while using Xtreme Legends, but the Xtreme Legends characters cameo in the story mode if you use it. There's no real major differences though.

Also, you get to use the new weapon types as well. So if you don't care about trophies, go for XL.

Xu Zhu on the farm will give you materials from time to time. He's the only one I've gotten to do poo poo though.

I think anyone on farm duty will give you materials occasionally. There might be some variation in what they give you, I have Huang Zhong there and he consistently gives me ~10 weapon materials :stare:

, but that could be due to upgrading the farm rather than it being him. I haven't played around with it to test it.

It was alright, but it's super grindy and you only got to play the same 2 maps over and over for a long time.

It was also hilariously unbalanced, unless they changed things in the years since I played. One of the weapons could be used to infinitely juggle an opponent.

So out of 7, 8 and 7 Empires. What is the best one to grab. Last one I played was 3

Depends a bit on what you want, but I would say go with 7. The mechanics are a bit improved with 8 and unlike 7 there are no cloned move sets if that sort of thing bothers you but the whole presentation in 7 is just so much better, especially the campaigns.

One problem with the civil war is that existing Musou games portray each side as being "right" in their own way, that means they would have to say slavery is right.

Isn't this a fairly recent addition to the Dynasty Warriors franchise? I don't have a ton of experience with the earlier games, but I remember lord Cow Cow being portrayed as an unambiguous greedy/selfish bad guy until DW7.

I have never played an Empires game before. Is this worth getting? My PS4 needs to be sent in for repairs and I do not care to get Xterme Legends on PS3 or Vita just so I can continue my DW8 game in the meantime.

I'll be contrary and say the the Empires games are not worth getting unless you are desperate for more DW to play. The strategy side is very shallow and the action side tends to feel more like a grind unless you really like beating up random mooks - your kingdom is pretty much unable to successfully attack or defend without you. On the plus side, you can marry Dong Zhuo.

I think it's just the "ng". It's a rare and somehow inherently funny sound in English, but extremely common and unremarkable in languages from that area.

I think it's just that when it comes to Man Chong my mind always reads Chong as a portmaneau of Chowder and Dong.

Deng Ai would be fine with me if it weren't for the fact that they pronounce it Dung Eye and he is constantly talking about his doody.

I'm really liking Chen Gong. His scroll of war is pretty nifty and I love how he's a crazy pretentious strategist who wants to play with the big boys.

The funny thing is how different he is compared to the novel (although he is hardly the only character that applies to). In the novel he betrays Dong Zhuo and helps Cao Cao to flee because he finds out that Dong Zhuo is a tyrannical poo poo. Then Cao Cao murders an innocent friend of the Cao family to protect his own reputation, which makes Chen Gong leave Cao Cao as well. Somehow he ends up with Lu Bu, discovers that he is basically a bastard as well, so when he is caught after the battle of Xiapi he basically says "execute me so I don't have to deal with you shits anymore" and Cao Cao obliges him.
