apropos to nothing posted:In ROTK, when Dian Wei dies to save Cao Cao, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and a nephew Cao Anmin also die. At their funeral a little later Cao Cao starts crying and everybody tries to comfort him and he says something like "I'm not really that sad about my son and nephew dying, just that I lost such a great warrior in Dian Wei" lol

Been playing SW4 today, its truly a triumph. Another Tecmo/Koei gem. The best things so far I've noticed is that when the level starts you start surrounded by dudes immediately instead of having to even walk 5 feet like in previous musou games so you start killing dudes without even walking a step and you can attack soldiers while theyre on the ground now too so you never have any reason to stop mashing an attack button

I moved at the end of seventh grade to a poo poo town I hated. I didn't have any friends and I was staying with my grandmother, who lived out in the middle of nowhere, so I had no chance of really making friends. I did have a new PS2 and a copy of Dynasty Warriors 3 (since a friend where I used to live would play the demo with me for hours on his PS2). I remember playing the Chang Ban Bridge map in DW3 while my dad was watching TV. He looked at the game and said in broken English, "I know that guy. He yelled real loud and the army turned around and ran away." He grew up in Vietnam, and apparently most Asian countries love the Three Kingdoms period. I thought it was cool that all this was (very, very loosely) based on historical events. I saw a review of ROTK7 in EGM, and decided to buy it, even though it sounded boring as poo poo. It turned out to be the easiest way to kill the hundreds of hours a week I had free from not having friends or anything to do. I remember rerolling stats on created characters in ROTK to get specific skills and making a family of ronin so I could play as a created character for any period of the Three Kingdoms and still have uncles and grandfathers and forutne-telling nieces and poo poo, it was great. I also remember taunting the enemy into some mountain pass and starting an insane fire trap that destroyed them in one campaign. It was like my own Red Cliffs stratagem. I hope the newest ROTK sees a release in English, because I hear it's more like 7, 8, and 10, where you can dick around instead of ruling a kingdom. My favorite's still 7, but 10 did have those dope intellectual duels where you play a little board game to have your dude rhetoricize another guy until he falls off the metaphorical bridge of political and philosophical debate. Don't remember anything about 8, besides it being very similar to 7. In eighth grade, I read all of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even though it didn't make any sense and was extremely dry at times and people kept asking about the title. I got a PS4 a couple months ago. The first game I bought after Bloodborne was Samurai Warriors 4, and it's so fast and awesome, it blows my mind. The first time I played it, it was with my friend who also grew up playing these games. We both kept screaming and yelling, especially after discovering hyper attacks and the focus meter and the bonuses you get after getting 1000 kills. All of our other friends think we're retarded for liking these games. I don't care. If he still drank, I'd loved to get tipsy and blast through free mode as Ginchiyo Tachibana, the #1 super best hyper attack character in the game. Samurai Warriors 4 is the first Samurai Warriors game I've played (not counting Orochi 3). Now I'm halfway through a 1000 page hardcover historical fiction book, Taiko, which is about Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Nobunaga Oda's rise to power. I'm curious to see if there's any live-action or high quality anime representation of the Sengoku period. Last year, I watched all of the 2010 Chinese TV series, which you can find English subs for on YouTube. I also watched maybe half of the hilariously chintzy 1992 series, as well as the adaptation of the similar Chinese military epic, Water Margin. I've listened to an audiobook version of The Art of War with additional commentary from several military leaders and philosophers, including Cao Cao himself. My friend and I played most of Hyrule Warriors, and it's pretty good. I was skeptical when it was announced, but it's very polished and a lot of the characters are tons of fun, despite me not knowing much about Zelda besides Link to the Past. Still prefer DW8 and SW4. I am a loving dork and I love this poo poo. I'd be playing SW4 or Orochi 3 right now if I weren't playing Peace Walker for the first time. Bye.

Warriors Orochi is great for being surrounded immediately. The game is hard as balls until you get the better item drops and you will be surrounded by 8 generals in the first stage. It's so freaking good.. probably my favorite title in the whole series. From barely scraping by the stages to feeling very powerful, but if you let a general juggle you chances are another will jump in after, doing hella dmg to you and possibly ending your run. The series has never felt as balanced since then. THe newer games, while good, still lack that fundamental sense of progression.

It's the pinnacle of the musou series. Hit triangle forever (or until an officer stops you). Get used to using your Rage GaugeŽ at the right moment, when it looks the coolest. I kind of wished it had an English dub so I knew what ridiculous poo poo everyone was saying after their ultimate true musou virtuous super attacks.

Yeah its been really good. I appreciate the fact that no matter how powerful you get in terms of being able to kill quickly, having two or three commanders on you at once is always still a serious danger. And i havent even tried the harder difficulty levels yet. Even the normal enemies with one general can be threatening if you stop attacking and knocking them back for like a second.

China fought in WW2 and a lot of the resistance members used the kingdom of Shu-Han as an inspiration because throughout history when Han China was driven from the North by the Jurchens, Manchus, etc. the Chinese kinda portrayed Shu as the good guys because they identified with the whole militant government in exile from the heartland which is sort of what happened during the Japanese occupation. Shu-Han also occupied the same regions (Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou) as the Chinese resistance fighters did during the Japanese occupation you stupid loving piece of poo poo

Toukiden has been a fun monster hunter-light to fill the void that exists since I currently don't own any nintendo products on which to play MH. I hope Koei makes a sequel and if they do, they gear it towards consoles instead of handhelds

Another thing I like that they added in SW2 is the way enemies are stronger in certain areas if there are a lot of officers, bases, and standard bearers around. Even the mook generals can be in the glowing red hyper Lu Bu mode if you fight them in areas with more enemies
