the official dynasty warriors 7 thread of shut the fuck up

[Himu]

omg Wu ownsssssssssss

Wu campaign has so much fucking variety in terms of level design.

[Van Cruncheon]

the sun ce goin' crazy bit was

[Himu]

you mean the battle with yu ji?

fuck yes

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

That level was tight shit.

The downside of playing Wu is that the Huang Gai level.  I hate those types of characters (Xu Zhu is another one)

[Himu]

are you fucking kidding me? huang gai is my favorite character so far.

His grapples have me cheering like a manbaby. Seeing Huang Gai BODY SLAM Xu Zhu made me laugh so fucking hard.

I loved each and every Wu stage. I beat Wu early this morning and started Jin. My favorite Wu stage is the stage right AFTER Sun Ce takes on Yu Ji. It's this huge battle with multiple conflicts, having to go and save your commanders and backtracking. Really tense.

In fact, a lot of Wu stages have tons of base taking and defending.

yer darn right i've tried dick

Will there be any Meng Huo levels?  I always found those stages with him fun.  I saw Zhu Rong as a character in Conquest mode so I'm assuming he will be somewhere in the game.

[Himu]

haven't encountered one

[Himu]

Sima Zhao just body surfed on an enemy peon.

game of the year confirmation.

Yeah, Meng is in Conquest mode too. Every officer has 2-3 'legendary' battles in that mode which unlock them for play if they aren't available yet.

[bork]

Sima Zhao just body surfed on an enemy peon.

game of the year confirmation.

  That move instantly made him one of my favorite characters in the game.

[Himu]

lmao jin makes shu look so fucking ridiculous

Shu: We will make a land full of benevolence!

Jin: Heh. Fuck your "benevolence".

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Finished Wu, now time for Shu.

I liked the Wu characters a lot better ( Gan Ning ) than the Wei.  I'm excited to get to the Jin portion.

The game is still fun and hasn't really stopped being fun for a while.  It is probably my most favorite DW game.  Although not by far, I had a lot of fun with DW5 Special on the 360 when it came out.

[Himu]

Jin is the best campaign easily.

[Himu]

Beat Jin story, finishing up all story campaigns.
 
Surprised I got the Good Listener trophy because I skipped everyone in the Wei campaign and didn't hear about the good listener trophy until near the end of my wei campaign. After that I talked to everyone (berudgingly) but that doesn't take away from the fact I skipped talking to the bulk of Wei npcs and still got the trophy.
 
I was planning on playing through Wei again, just to get that trophy so this is good.
 
Started Conquest mode, this time for real, my main is going to be Huang Gai for now. I put it on hard mode and it's so much more fun in comparison to normal. Without my buffed up character(s) that have been carried over from story mode I'm sure hard would be annoying, but since my Huang Gai and others are maxed out, hard mode is fun as fuck as it presents a new challenge. I tried chaos and got wrecked in like 4 hits. Wow, you actually need to block in that mode! Haha!

[Himu]

Decided to go with my favorite Three Kingdoms character, Zhou Yu, in Conquest. Zhou Yu's staff + shield and sword combo = great for ridding yourself of these pesky archers.

Playing on hard.

Whoever wants to play co-op on ps3 hit me.

psn: himuroids

I just got done playing a level with Zhang Fei where I wiped out about 850 soldiers in less than five minutes.

A few people have speed or other stat boosts as their EX.

[Himu]

ugh hard seems too hard for now

[Himu]

still no dlc and I'm in the middle of conquest mode. at this rate i will done with the game by the time dlc is up.

[Trent Dole]

Nine more battles and all of Conquest's grid will be complete. Then I just have to grind out all the weapons, bonds, skills, and seals! 

[Himu]

How to bond with Lu Bu:
-I like your little headpiece thing.
-To be honest, you frighten me
 
How to bond with Zhang Liao:
-I think your hat suits you very well.
-To be honest, you frighten me
 
How to bond with Diao Chan:
 -I think you are beautiful
-I think you are terrifying

[MoxManiac]

By the time DLC is released for this game I will have exhausted most of the game's content 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Finished Shu, now on Jin.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Finished Jin.  I agree with what someone said earlier: it is the most interesting campaign out of the four.  I even paid attention to the story, which I never really did for the other three.  I also received the good listener achievement despite not really talking to anyone except the guards or officers to start a fight.  O well.

Now I'm working on Conquest mode.  I'll probably start with Zhu Rong so I can start getting some of the characters I wasn't able to play as in the official mode.

[Himu]

people at gaf were flat out wrong. good listener is for talking to the npc that starts the battle, not talking to all npcs.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I'm playing Conquest mode with Zhu Rong.  When I first started, it gave me a strong DW Strikeforce vibe, which is a bad thing.  However in spite of that, it is pretty fun although I will probably clear a few hexes here and there casually.

[Himu]

holy shit



school uniform dlc

[MoxManiac]

Dian Wei sure has a big package.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

fap fap fap

Anyway, I'm about 35% finished with Conquest mode and have about 115,000 KOs.  It's a slow grind but I'm enjoying it.  I just play a few hexes each day until completion.

[Bebpo]

holy shit

school uniform dlc

haha, the baseball uniform is pretty dope

[Bebpo]

They should make a rival schools-ish musou game.  Schoolhouse Musou or something.  You have the baseball guy with a bat, football player who runs over dudes and throws fire hail marys, the gym teacher, the band guy who blows out people's ears, the computer tech guy who rides a giant robot he built.  Just make it super goofy with a varied cast and move set.

Is Fist of the North Star musou worth it?

The demo was really really shitty for a musou game, but I heard the full game is better.  It's $30 at Amazon now and musou games almost never price drop/collapse, so I'm wondering if I should grab it at this price.

[Himu]

i keep hearing it's among the worst musuo games but i really liked the demo

[bork]

Bebpo, I really enjoyed Hokuto Musou. You can go back and find a shit-ton of impressions from me here and on gaf.  The demo wasn't the best representation of the game...it offers both a straight foward adventure mode (for Ken, Rei, Mamiya, Toki, and Raoh), which is more linear like a traditional beat em up complete with boss battles, and a more traditional Musou mode where all the unlockable characters are playable.  It's worth checking out if you like Fist Of The North Star and musou games.  Just make sure to get it on PS3.

Yeah, it's awesome, it just takes some getting used to. Dream mode is musou through and through.

[Trent Dole]

First round of DLC up on 360 servers today. I need to get some more points.

[Mr. Gundam]

I loved Hokuto Musou for the fact that it played like an old school beat em up.

people who have this on 360 REPORT ON THE DLC

people who have this on 360 REPORT ON THE DLC

I'll let you know...picked up the 360 version tonight.  I'm not waiting for the DLC and PSN (and the store's gonna take LONGER?  LOL) to come back up any longer.  Will dump the PS3 version towards Amazon credit or something.

[Himu]

i already sold the ps3 version. i'm getting dw7 for 360, we can play together.

Himuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu  :'(

[Himu]

i'm sorry, mox! sony fucked up!

[Himu]

wtf, I thought they were putting the japanese voices and stuff in one big pack, but on xbl it's multiple packs you pay for and the japanese voices. I thought the japanese voice pack included the free stages and stuff

[bork]

wtf, I thought they were putting the japanese voices and stuff in one big pack, but on xbl it's multiple packs you pay for and the japanese voices. I thought the japanese voice pack included the free stages and stuff

Did they actually say that?  The J-voices are free though.

[Himu]

Yep, they said it'd be all in one big pack.

[Trent Dole]

I thought the costumeage for this round was gonna be free but 80 points ain't no thing. 

[Himu]

Bought DW7 for 360.

Impressions:

Looks the same and plays the same as ps3 version.

Still awesome.

DLC impressions:

- jp voices are great. a lot of voices that were annoying in English (xu zhu) aren't anymore.
- dlc weapons rock. I really like that scythe/axe thing and the bombs are fucking AWESOME.

Are dlc costumes and stages only viewable in conquest? I bought everything.

[Trent Dole]

Pretty sure you can only play dress up in conquest mode, yeah(and the DLC stages are for conquest so they're obviously only seen there). Dunno about taking the weapons into story mode since I haven't tried that since getting them but I'd imagine you can use 'em.

[Trent Dole]

I got Warriors Orochi 2 for 360 and...it's okay so far. The biggest difference between it and DW7 for me is the speed. DW7 feels ten times faster in comparison, even with the more slow characters like Xu Zhu.

I dunno. The premise is cool but I think it took about an hour to beat the first map of the Wei campaign alone. (actually apparently it was 23 minutes)

edit:

One thing about Orochi 2 is that it's more technical than DW7. The counterattacks for example. I'll often not be able to land a single hit on an enemy officer, and have to wait till they attack, counter attack, combo and bring in big damage in order to win. It's both more strategic and more tedious in comparison to DW7. I'm not sure if it's better but it's certainly different.

Keep in mind DW7 was the first time I gave a Musuo game a real shake. I don't consider playing the occasional demo or a few maps at my friends place playing a Musuo game, but I really got into DW7. It's hard not comparing it to DW7 because while they're very similar, they're also very different.

Jesus Chris I did this Lu Bu map on Wei campaign and it took me 34 minutes to complete. It wouldn't be so bad if fighting even regular officers didn't feel like it takes 10 minutes. They just won't fucking die and last time I checked this was normal mode.

[MoxManiac]

Once you figure out Orochi's weapon system and start attaching elements/skills to them (and leveling up the skills in the skill equip system) you can kill officers realllly fast.
