The GIG posted:I'm getting back into the series after a couple of years since playing DW Advanced (And if that doesn't count then my last game was DW2 and holy poo poo is this series old) with Next and I'm looking into the Orochi series. Should I bother tracking down the first couple of games to get the full story or just say "gently caress it" and download 3 and start kicking rear end with Achilles This is all you need to know about the story so far for the Orochi series: DW dudes and SW dudes become total bros and stomp demons together.

What is the Musou mode like in 8? Is it like 7 where there was a contiguous story for each of the 3 kingdoms + Jin? I played part way into the Wei story in 7, then made the mistake of playing Warriors Orochi 3 and getting caught up in that.

abagofcheetos posted:Is it just me, or is the story of 7 vastly superior than it is in 8? I just finished the Wei campaign, and first off it just ended really abruptly I thought, but overall I thought it was a kind of incoherent mess. It felt like they jumped around too much, and never really explained much or gave the motivation for what the hell was going on. A lot of the events were portrayed really half-assed I thought as well... for instant the Dian Wei death battle was terrible compared to 7. The Zhang Liao kills 5 billion men fight was atrocious, those two new Wei characters in that fight are like two of the worst characters in the entire game. I have to say I liked what I played of the Wei campaign better in 7, story wise. The gameplay is much better though so I suppose it balances out.

I only played part way into Wei in 7, and I do not really know the Three Kingdoms story otherwise. Should I look up 7s cutscenes sometime so I get extra context of what happens in 8?

I have been playing DW7 for the campaign, and the way the story is structured really beats 8, though there are aspects of gameplay that I miss. I figure that I could play 7 for the story then 8 for the gameplay. Also, is it just me or does Musou charge faster in 7 than in 8?

After looking up some info I may get this game, since I do like One Piece. It sounds like the story is partially the same as WO3: You friends are being mind controlled, and you must use the power of friendship and punches to save them.

Played through a few missions of One Piece Warriors 2, and it is the most mook-murderingest Musou game aside from WO3. Not to mention that there are craploads of combos.

Jibo posted:A question about OPPW2. Do characters now only have one SP/Musou attack? I figured that the "form changing" SP attacks would be taken out with the addition of the Style attacks but after spending some time with Tony Chopper last night it looks like his Monster Point is completely gone as far as I can tell and that's a real drat bummer. Also Franky Shogun only shows up to spin around and fall over. Not sure what SP attacks are, but each character should have at least two musou attacks, from what I seen: One in normal mode and one in style action mode.

Word of warning: the English version of DW8 for ps4 does not have the option to turn off the Depth of Field effect. Yet, anyway; I hear it was introduced in a patch so maybe we will get it too. Maybe. Just picked it up, and despite that (and controller speaker voices. Thank god for external speakers) I like it so far, though I only played one mission. Didn't play too far into vanilla so I like that I can experience everything with the extra bells and whistles.

Evil Canadian posted:I was kinda surprised at the lack of "benevolence" in the shu campaign considering how much talk of Chaos and Ambition there is in the Wei campaign, right up until Zhuge Liang first appears and I have just hit a benevolent brick wall. I thought that the Shu story in DW7 was weird. Liu Bei, for being the face of the faction was a almost a supporting character in terms of agency until Zhuge Liang appeared, then he actually became a supporting character and it became Zhuge Liang's show.

Can anyone explain Taishi Ci to me? I am not familiar with the historical figure, but in both 7 and 8, all he does is fight against Wu once, joins and does nothing until he dies in a later battle. Couldn't they have found something for him to do in between?

I don't think that DW8 storytelling is that bad, but I would tell anyone who is unfamiliar with the Three Kingdoms to play 7 first as it has a lot more context and some surprisingly good moments.

Sindai posted:DW8XLCE protip: the scripting for the star condition in Wu's Battle of Nanjun is broken and you can't do it as the guy who's the "bait" in the plan. The enemy commanders that are supposed to charge you never do. Fortunately it can still be done as the other commanders. If it is the battle I am thinking of, I got around it by catching the attention of the officers, lead them back to the place you are supposed to engage them WITHOUT fighting them, then attack.

I suspect it is a slow day. I like 8 better for all the little combat and quality of life improvements (Holding down the call horse button to mount is a godsend), but yeah in terms of campaign 7 is a better package. Also, I am playing the PS4 version, and yes it doesn't look that much better than the last Gen version, and it seems to struggle sometime, particularly during fire attacks. That said, the number of dudes it can handle is amazing and makes everything worth it. Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 20:04 on May 13, 2014 |

Tae posted:Zuo Ci has most of his story in DW7. And I think that's one of the problems is that you have to fill in a lot of gaps by playing the older DW's. Like, I totally forgot Zhen Ji was in the game until I did the hypotheticals. Was his story in the XL missions? I only played the story mode in that game for all three kingdoms.

There was a nice little DW7 callback in the Wei hypothetical ending that I liked. Dian Wei helping Xu Zhu till the fields  I was thinking of doing the Wu hypothetical, however...I am thinking I should do the Shu hypothetical now. I have a feeling that it is going to be PAIN.
