Getting close to finishing up Liu Bei and crew's campaign. Sat down to play this again for a bit last night and 3 hours just flew by.

There is a new character (actually from DW7 Empires), Xu Shu, with a hood that reminds me so much of an assassin from Assassin's Creed for some reason, lol.

The feel of shear bad-assery in this game is just off the charts.

I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game before, always avoided the series because it looks like you mow down grunts all day. Should I try this one?

game gives you objective,if you fail to do them usualy some asshole tries to infiltrate your base and you have to intercept him and of course certain stage holds bonus stage if you do stuff that the game won't tell you

bork are you playing on normal? i'm playing on normal and i regret it because it's beyond easy,the affinity system makes it even more easier because as you carry 2 weapon around there's no reason to ever be at disadvantage so it either favors you and gives you tons of free extra damage or it does nothing

I am playing Shu on normal right now. Might switch to a harder difficulty with the other factions or may play all the story modes on normal and then go through the other modes on the harder and above settings. My goal right now is just to unlock characters and then start leveling my favorites up, and that's when I'll definitely want to switch to the harder difficulty modes. I find most musou games a bit too easy on normal in general.

Well, you DO mow down grunts all day -it's a beat em up game- but this is best DW in years, easily, and you can definitely have a challenge if you crank the difficulty up. Things also get harder when you have to stop an event from happening or if you need to meet certain conditions to unlock characters or change the outcome of a level. There are stages where something might fail to happen or someone is defeated on your faction, but the game will allow you to keep going.

Himu · « **Reply #967 on:** July 18, 2013, 11:57:10 AM »

What makes Warriors games challenging on normal modes for me are accomplishing the objectives. It should be tough accomplishing every goal and side goal on a map. The game should also have you continuously doing something new in terms of objectives. What I love about Samurai Warriors is how you'll often get like 3 or side objectives in one map. Fuck up? Oh well, restart map.

There really isn't much in the way of side goals in the story mode from what I've played. It's pretty straight-forward, BUT doesn't feel as linear as DW7 did in the sense that you can go around the map and take out enemy areas that the game doesn't mention or keep on going if some main objectives have failed. However if you do complete all the objectives, in a level, you get the Hypothetical option for the stage in Free Mode- A "What If" scenario that deviates from the historical storyline and changes up who appears in the stage, dialogue, and objectives.

And don't forget that there is another mode entirely with different objectives, Ambition Mode:

Quote

A new game mode, called the "Ambition Mode", has been introduced.[15] In it, the player is tasked to create a social base for peasants called the "Tongquetai Tower" and to make Emperor Xian visit it. To raise the tower's status, the player must partake in three different kind of battles; Skirmish battles which give materials to construct the tower, Raid battles which increase fame, and Large-scale battles which can recruit new partners. Players start out with the weapon shop as their sole base facility. More can be added or expanded upon as the town gradually becomes populated with people. These include a food market, a trade shop, a menagerie, etc..

So there's a lot of stuff to do!

bork · « **Reply #969 on:** July 18, 2013, 12:12:20 PM »

OK, checking into this more, the hypothetical scenarios actually ARE in the main storyline, so you can actually go in a completely different direction from what is initially intended and play a different set of levels instead!

Quote

'Hypothetical' is a what-if stage that can be unlocked by completing certain conditions in Story Mode. For example..

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Wei 'hypothetical' stage is Chibi. If you've completed all the optional conditions in the stages before Chibi, then Guo Jia, Dian Wei and Xu Shu will be present for the Wei side in the battle. This will allow you to foil Wu's fire attack and actually defeat them rather than fleeing. If you complete that stage, you unlock extra stages that continue along Wei's path to conquest rather than the historical status quo ending.
[close]

In Free Mode, you get the choice of doing the 'normal' or 'hypothetical' version of the stage. That's what the option is for. Of course, if you haven't unlocked the 'hypothetical' version, the option doesn't yet do anything for you!

magus · « **Reply #970 on:** July 18, 2013, 12:20:19 PM »

i posted this in a spoiler so probably nobody readed that but i failed an objective on the mission where you recruit jia xu and somehow it actualy unlocked an extra stage (the canon battle where you go kill lu bu) you can see which stage have special condition by selecting them with the "free stage" option but the game doesn't tell you what you need to do,i was hoping the game would spill it's secret after finishing the campaign

bork · « **Reply #971 on:** July 18, 2013, 12:34:45 PM »

There's a hypothetical stage guide already up on the Koeiwarriors forums.

Do we really need to spoiler tag this game's story? It's the same one since the original game and a couple...hundred...years before that.

That's just one part of the story, Magus. But make sure you play the Jin faction last.

One of my favorite Musou games. How easy is it to download Japanese Vita games onto an American one?

You will need:

1. A Japanese PSN account. Easy enough to make and 100000 walkthroughs out there if you don't read Japanese and/or have an address to use.
2. Another memory card specifically for this account.
3. Funds. Your credit card won't work. You'll need to buy PSN cards to charge your PSN wallet. You can get these codes online from plenty of sellers, albeit at marked-up prices.

You then have to remove the memory card with your U.S. account and do a system restore. Now you can access your Japanese PSN account and go through the set up, then download the game. This whole process really doesn't take more than a few minutes, but what sucks is that when you switch back to your primary account, repeating the process again, your icon placement gets fucked up and some game icons or content might get randomly deleted. You won't lose game saves AFAIK but it helps to back everything up.

Basically it's just annoying enough to do that I don't generally bother doing it.

Himu · « **Reply #977 on:** July 18, 2013, 09:01:07 PM »

Dw7's story has different goals I think. It is about Jin's rise to dominance as the old heroes die out, and Jin bring about a new age with new blood that doesn't follow the mistakes of their ancestors. Since jin is no longer new that is no longer necessary. Sounds like Wei's ending ends abruptly like Wu's in 7.

There are two endings for each faction now. Magus got the "bad" ending. Maybe the "good" endings are that much better. I don't want to spoil myself!

Almost done with Shu's normal path. Just four more stages to go.

It's pretty bad when even the initial reveal doesn't have any new assets since the last game.

Gundam Musou 3 had basically every Gundam if you counted the DLC, was only missing AGE and manga and obscure ones. Really doesn't seem like there's enough to make a #4, hence why this is "Shin". Probably a cash grab since the franchise is basically over. Will skip it.

i posted some one piece musou 2 impression in the WAYP thread and since i'm an asshole who needs validation you get them in this thread too

One Piece Musou 2

i don't care much for either one piece or dynasty warrior but somehow i'm having fun with this,i'd put my money on...

A) the character all feel different enough (i especialy like nami who has a gimmick where some of her attack create clouds which you can then detonate with R2 and jinbei who's really slow but has the ability to summon a wave that cover all the screen and a one-strike punch that deals a shitload of damage,blows enemies away and look super cool)
B) the animation are really well done and colorfull
C) there is really a shitload of enemies on screen,i find myself using the lock option simply to keep track of the boss

i tought the game would follow the anime plot but i guess there still isn't enough time skip plot to do it so you get a token plot where all of the straw hat become evil except luffy and nami (yes,even chopper,especialy chopper) so luffy has now to hunt them and punch them in the face until they become good again oh and you get to start with smoker too for some reason (i guess because he's popular?)

there is no weapon system and instead you get coins,you equip coins to your stat and if you put 2 coins related to each other together they boost each other (so say... put straw hat pirates coins together,put nami coin with nami weapon coin) missions have objective where you can unlock more powerfull coins but it's usualy just to get 1000 kill,get the S rank,and finish the stage with no NPC dying

mmm... so what's bad about it? well the character all sort of feels underpowered,i mean they make a lot of explosions and have attack that makes enemy fly everywhere and blow them away which also have huge range but the damage you do to small grunt is pitifull and they usualy need more than 1 combo to end up dead,this is particulary annoying because you get ranked on your kill count and i've lost count how many times the game told me "oh yeah,you finished the stage quickly,you didn't take a lot of damage but whooooops! you didn't kill enough people! no full remark for you!" the stage are also sooooooooooooo long,i had a stage that took like 24 minutes

So Koei has announced Sengoku Musou 4 officially for ps3 and vita.

Good news. Hopefully we'll see it at TGS and hopefully it'll be cel shaded and look like the SW3XL intro:

Magus, I think you'd like Samurai Warriors. It's the superior series.
