His demo is out, thoughts on Dynasty Warriors Origins?
>>695280738Shaping up to be an excellent gameI also appreciate the steam deck graphics preset
>>695280738It's goated. I played it on no sleep yesterday so I might've missed it, is there a way to use multiple weapons on this game? I know you can swap in menu but I want to cycle in real time like the other recent games.
Combat's a huge step up from previous games. But I have two complaints.The first is that I don't know why they're giving you some pre-defined donut steel character instead of just having character creation, short of selling a re-release with that feature in a year's time.The second is that hard mode has a bunch of gameplay changes that make it generally better but also comes with enemies not dropping any health which turns stages into a war of attrition and it sucks that that's tied to it.
>>695280738All the wishlisht ticked off so far, just need character customization or just get it fully voiced, also how's the chink dub sounds? personally i don't like chink languange
>>695284430wait it has a preset character instead of character creation?
>>695284430Buns are in bases, gotta go back and forth if you need them
please tell me this one is good I haven't touched DW for years other then hyrule warriors
>>695284430>The first is that I don't know why they're giving you some pre-defined donut steel character instead of just having character creation, short of selling a re-release with that feature in a year's time.Watch them release empire or another variation for custom characters but no plot.
>>695284531>Morale base fight>Enemy soldiers constantly poking you>You're cog in the wheels for your team instead superhero that trash everything>Officer battle kinda souls-like and can kill you and not just spam your combo to winAt least so far this is a step right from their boring formula
>>695284430Yeah, having no health pickups sucks ass. Then if you try to backtrack your goons get slaughtered because the AI seems to be shit and can't fend for themselves. I like the combat but I am having a difficult time reading the animations to be able to dodge everything. There seems to be very little telegraphing to normal melee attacks. The big attacks have that red line but its the little attacks that fuck you up.
>>695280738I am getting sensory overload playing this. So many popups and lights flashing. Attacks coming from everywhere. Have to dodge in a a split second or you are toast.
So how long does it usually take for the definitive edition to come out?
>$70>no free mode>fixed protag>no character creator>only 9 temp playable DW charactersAnother incoming DD2, fun combat for a bit but the amount of content is trash and the game gets forgotten within a week and sales drop dead
>>695286962>dynasty warriors>salesgo take your faggotry to one of the rebirth or stellar blade threads
I couldn’t beat lu bu :(
>>695280738My gacha brain now wishes this was a PvP multiplayer gacha on mobile
>>695288271you're not supposed to
>>695288378Oh. Well ok then :)
>>695288278Do gacha players really care about gameplay? Afaik as long as there are another big titties girl with skimpy clothing they love it
>>695280738very disappointing. literally just a officer babysitting simulator. constantly had to beeline and rush to the various ally officers that constantly need babysitting
>Lu Bu>Hosen Ryofu>fengxianWas up with that?
>>695288786First is his name pronounced in ChineseSecond is his name pronounced in JapaneseThird is his "courtesy name", the name that in old China men would adopt after turning adult and using it is polite.
>>695288732So you never played older titles then?
>>695288378Yeah you are.
It's so much fun.The /eagg/ renaissance is forthcoming...
>>695288724The gameplay must at least be decent/acceptable. I don't know why there's no such thing as musou gacha, people would certainly whale for a full roster of allies.
>>695280738Fuck it's good. Thank god to, because MonHun Wilds is looking to be a shitshow. At least this will save the start of the year.
>>695288926If you enjoy that shit, then have fun with your zoom zoom babysitting officer rush game. I'll just replay the superior musou games like pirate warriors, hyrule warriors and sengoku basara games. Little queer faggot
If the final game is any good, i might get a new pct:gtx570
>>695280738wrong, HIS demo
>>695286962Why is everyone acting like free mode won't be in? they did it for fucking DW9 why would this game be different
>>695288378>Is a cuck in the book>mushou team worship him why?
>>695290028shu is a nation of cucks and people worship them
>>695290028Lu Bu is absolutely based in real lifeLiterally mongolian trying to be big shot in Han dynastyIts the fanfic who ruining him
>>695290028I love Lu Bu because he come across as so retarded that he loops back to being based
It's MC-kun's game now. Sorry Lu Bu you're too cool for the fujos
thanks for the reminde ropwhy the fuck is a demo 25 GBs
When will we get RoT adaption?
Can I romance companions?
Surprised at how good the port is, did Koei finally figure out how modern computers work? also runs really well on ps5
>This is his daughterShe's mile better than Diao Chan what the fuck???
>>695280738Thoughts? We're fucking BACK, bros. So fucking back I can't believe it.
>>695286156u no rike pork buns?!?
/eagg/ long divided must unite
>>695284790>>You're cog in the wheels for your team instead superhero that trash everythingThis was the biggest surprise for me. Even though I kept forgetting I have my own squad to command now.
>>695284072>I want to cycle in real time like the other recent games.You can't do that now unfortunately.
>>695286156You do get pork buns, but I think the emphasis is much much more on damage avoidance.
>>695280738>mfw enemy peons start glowing red and gliding in train formation around the battlefieldThey really did make peons a threat again. Unexpected but welcome throwback to PS2 era.
>>695291215I’m not sure if her mother is Lü Bu’s wife, Yanshi but I’d stay with her if my kids looked like this
>>695291805Lu Lingqi is a literal OC donutsteel. Lu Bu and Yanshi's daughter's name is not recorded.
>>695291572>/eagg/ long divided must uniteI never thought I'd live to see the day. GWEILO STRONK.
>>695291386>>695291726I haven't seen any drop from the enemy you kill like last game. I only find them in the pots around the garrisons.
Favourite weapon in the demo?
>>695291996They definitely drop.
>>695289223They did make mobile games
>>695280738Why the fuck this game optimised????I thought optimisation is a myth in 2024Anyway pretty good demo, is previous games has similar combat because i really enjoyed this demo
>>695286962All these are valid complaints, but game such as it is seems to be genuinely good. If anything it's a good foundation for proper DW10.
>>695280738Easily my goty but ui is so dogshit even for jap standard
>>695286962Eh 20 hour main story with 3 routes with hypotheticals plus secret weapons doesn't sound content barren to me

>>695292124>is previous games has similar combatlol lmao even. Anyway, if you have never played a DW game, tell me what you want more out of the demo and I can recommend you a title, combat is not one of those though because DWO revamped almost everything except maybe the attack string format.
Finally beat Lu Bu on Hard.
It plays so smooth on my 1650 pc I'm crying right now
>>695292124>is previous games has similar combat because i really enjoyed this demoNo. This has the most in common with DW9, which you should avoid because it sucks, but nothing else in the series play like this.
>>695292228>>>/vg/503210826 Do we get cool conversations between people who are not the MC?
>>695280738>demo is also on steamI thought the demo is only for PS players. Gonna download it now.
>>695292294I couldn’t even beat him on easy.
>>695292074Were you playing on the hardest difficulty? I swear I didn't find a single one from kills on the highest difficulty.
>>695292264I really like it's action based combat, generals and bosses were tough I thought it will be your average musuo where you spam one button to kill everything So basically i want something with fun indepth combat system with some challenge
>>695292463They don’t drop on hardest difficulty.
Every weapon other than the sword feels like absolute shit.
Do you suppose to defeat lu bu?Fucker is so hard and literally 1 shot all my army generals
To all PC users, you need to install the webm codec from the Microsoft Storehttps://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n5tdp8vcmhs?hl=en-US&gl=USOtherwise, the cinematic cutscenes and the tutorial videos would be missing.
>>695280738Is this really a tecmo game?God don't know the last time they made a real decent pc port
>>695292513>i want something with fun indepth combat systemThen you won't get that in the rest of the series as while fun, most of the movesets are pretty straight forward and is nowhere as indepth as Origins. Older games like 3 and 4 do offer pretty challenging difficulty, but those games play more like crisis solving simulation where the challenge lies in choosing which enemy officers to take on and which part of the map to clear out first to ensure your army don't all die before the enemy army does.
>>695292685The other weapons shit on the sword once you figure them out
>>695292782No, it's a Koei game.
>117$ canadian for the delux edition that comes with an art book and 3 days early access What the fuck man.
>>695292798The movesets here aren't deep. In some ways they're more simple than previous entries.
>>695292756 I got to ask is this guy going or being legitimate?Because I downloaded the game onto my Steam account and it's not opening up.
>>695280738Except for ui and price I don't have any complaint They really cooked this one good and i hope same treatment goes to their other future game to
>>695293094I probably should have worded it "the combat was nowhere near indepth and the movesets are pretty straightforward"
Can you command troop or bodyguard unit? Is the morale system any deep?
>>695293096I'm not.In the pic related, the tutorial video would be missing without Microsoft codec.
>>695293094I think it's just you have much more to work with here than just the moveset + musou attack itself. You have four special attacks, three unit attacks and then you can also switch to your partner for a limited time who is its own character.
The computer did cross when I was installing the game and I keep getting this when I try to log in.( I took away any identifying information on the screenshot because I had had problems with people using information to buy stuff in my name before love to eat the Bank people stopped it before I had to pay for any of that)
>>695293548>younger and patchless zhao dunwill fan girls go crazy?
>>695292304did they finally fix the Katana Engine?
>>695293548that level map don't look bad
>>695293650Don't know but game runs super solid and haven't encountered any shuttering or fps drop and all this without any upscaling
>>695293783>all this without any upscalingREST OF THE INDUSTRY IN SHAMBLES
>>695280738>>>/vg/503210826
>>695280738Feels like proper next gen title. DW9 open world approach was a mistake because you can never get dense enough enemy armies the way you can now with smaller levels. Last confrontation at the game is absolutely mental in term of peon count and chaos unfolding.
While I have you guys, is wo long any good? Love me some co op melee action games.
>>695293532How do you even access this screen?
>>695293973It's fun but combat is very dumb downed compare to nioh or ronin
>>695288278You should consider slitting your throat you disgusting piece of zoomer shit.
>>695293973>is wo long any good? Eh... it's decent now with all the updates.>pros>some really fun boss fights with you like parrying>loot autism from Nioh is still there but streamlined to require much less grinding>cons>low enemy variety and enemy placements leave a lot to be desired (mostly just a ganksquad of 3 waiting to ambush you in every other corner)>most stages are pretty ugly not very fun to traverse>very lacking in contents compared to the likes of Nioh
>>695294087I’m awright with that as long as the co op is good
>>695291726MAN status??
>>695293559 Okay so I told the Steam thingy to check the data it did and I was able to open the game and able to actually play the game deliberately going into the actual game to play it. I did have it on the lowest visual settings but it could play good. I have played DW 8 and 9 in the past so should my computer be good for the actual buying of this game?
>>695293559>>695294676I'm sorry jamieartin10. I am already in possession of your email and bank accounts...
>>695280738I have only played some of the oldest musous (SW2, DW4, Berserk...) and I gotta say that I love the new combat in the sense that it's not piss easy bulldoze your way through spamming your favourite combo.But the tutorial seems a bit of a mess. I usually like it when you're thrown into battle to learn basic moves but the game tries to teach you a ton of things that I can't read in the middle of the battle because this game is actually challenging.I'll pick the demo again when I can relax and pay more attention but so far it looks really good.
>>695293598That's Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, and Shang Xiang.
Why the fuck does the demo run like shit on my 4070S?
Get out of here, Lu Bu. This is HIS game.
There's a lot more preview videos on Youtube now. Bits of the final YT stage and Zhang Jiao boss fight, Hulao Gate, and a Sun Jian vs. Liu Biao stage before his death
>>695280738Shockingly good demo, performance and game itself.
>>695291864At least he HAD a daughter IRL.Diaochan is completely fictional.
>>695289391Actually I think the daughter-in-law might probably have bigger boobs.You know now that I think about it they might just go up a bit bigger with her sort height.
>>695295478To be fair, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo did have arguments over a maid. Bunch of simps, I tell you!
>>695295451I cannot believe these same guys developed DW9.
>>695295478Diaochan, the daughter of Wang Yun conspiring to pit Lu Bu against Dong Zhuo but genuinely falling in love with the former didn't exist, but Lu Bu did have relations with one of Dong Zhuo's courtesans which was a major strain on their relationship.
MYSTERY NIGGAS
>>695284790What, seriously?DW used to be like that, and not just when facing lu bu.I never thought the shitty donutsteel game would be a return to form. What the fuck is going on over there?
>>695295750hey they're finally adding Hua Tuo
>>695295698Different director/producer this time around, it's the guy that made the PS2 classics and DW6.
>>695295778They brought back the guy who directed DW2-6
>>695295698DW9 is fun
>>695295846>>695295847Nah, Sho only designed those games the first one he actually directed was 6 then he did the surprisingly amazing vita game
>>695295846>and DW6.YABAIDAI YABAI
>>695295778Yeah, for once "return to form" does mean what it says.
>>695295698it's insane that DW9 on launch would shit itself and go to 25 FPS showing 50 troops in a field doing nothing while Origins can show 2000 troops all trying to kill each other and chill at 60 FPS
>>695295698>reinstalled dw9 a couple of months ago because I have good enough hardware to run it now>uninstalled it 2 hours later because the game is still shitA huge shame because I really like the character designs in 9
>>695293598>>695295182all the younger portraits are literallyhttps://youtu.be/1X4v3WmpNo8?si=a2wMUPhhEBOu3RoQI’m half expecting Dong Zhuo to look slightly in shape and not a compete fatso
>>695295750Is this real?
>>695296152We know how Dong Zhuo looks
>>695296437Damn, he looks good. Almost too good, Dong Zhuo cleans up good when he's shown as his younger self.
>>695296152I appreciate this is the way we finally get younger and older characters. Probably only because we're working with a much smaller roster. I liked the idea of Sanadamaru, but updating the ENTIRE cast of any one game would be too much.
>>695295750my wifes
>start game>looks pretty neat, feels kinda familiar but also not at the same time>5 minutes later>IT APPEARS THIS IS AS FAR AS WE GO>everyone's fucking dying>then I died tooI don't remember dynasty warriors being like this...
>>695297324you want peons to be dangerous. they are now.
>>695288926In the older Dynasty Warriors, you could equip the drum that boosts morale, kill a handful of officers. And watch as your army of generic officers mow down fucking Lu Bu.
>>695294039In the pause menu?
>>695295750>two of these are MALEOh for fuck sake, I hate fujos so fucking much
>>695297910embrace bl, love bl
>>695297910Danmei sisters...
its pretty surreal to finally get a next-gen DW since... 6
>>695292540Yeah, they need to change that shit. There is so much chip damage from archers and peons spamming their glowing group attacks. Overall though I think this game is pretty amazing for Dynasty Warriors standards. Its less of a button masher and more fighter.
>>695297324I think the main difference is that in the older games half your army including the commander would just sit behind the frontline and usually do nothing while here everyone is trying to fight and push to the end. I played the demo a few times and found capturing bases raises morale faster than killing officers so if you start with Guan Yu and quickly clear all the bases on the right side of the map, the morale evens out fast even after the huge drop from Hua Xiong and your army can hold together
>>695298120Partake in BL.
>>695295750>Twink Hua To
>die>restart>fps tanks to half of what I had earlierI think they're taking the difficulty meme a bit too far
Timing a fully charged podao attack right as an enemy officer is exposed and staggering them in one hit makes me coom
>>695297469Not really. Even on Hero they're still harmless.
Making a Dynasty Warriors fanfiction and I'm thinking of giving either Pang De or Wei Yan a split personality Just 2 noticeably different ones for Pang De one would be the cool Collective guy we know in Dynasty Warriors the other one will be based off of the enemy officer had caught off and tied it around his horse incident, if is Wei Yan one would be the borderline feral person we see in the games the other will be the intelligent man who managed to make the Shu Kingdom Mounted fortresses defense system that managed to last until someone change the system
>>695289272So you're playing babies musou game lmao, you're so gay>>695300895They are pretty aggresive now compared to DW8 at least that's the last i played, on par with DW4 aggresiveness
So how's the roster? Bloated to hell and nack or are we back to dw3 levels?
>>695302119Dialed back to 1 (UNO) playable character with 9 playable companions in SOME stages, the rest are NPCs with characters that play a role past Chibi (and Cao Ren for some reasons) got outright cut.
>>695302290Are they generic officers now?
>>695302584They keep their DW9 designs with minor touch-ups but aren't playable
>>695302290Maybe the MC is actually Cao Ren.
>>695302584No, some shaved off their beard and smooth out their skins like Cao Cao, some got new designs that isn't too far off like their old ones like Xiahou Dun, them got completely new designs like Liu Bei and his bros, some got their head chopped off and replaced with the ROTK one like Gan Ning, some are just their DW9 designs.
>>695301336>on par with DW4 aggresivenessNot even close. What's worse is that they don't do any damage.
>>695302782Unbased, my man Cao Ren deserves better than to be turned into into a fuckboy like that.
>>695302736>>695302790So they'll probably be bosses. Man I'm looking forward to the demo.
I can't fucking beat Lu Bu
>>695303234There definitely be boss fight. So far we know Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu are one of those. If the game allows you to join Lu Bu's army at any point, Dong Zhuo probably will be one as well.>>695303332DO NOT PURSUE
>>695303374He's pursuing ME
>>695280738Woke up this morning just to get my shit pushed in. He is so fucking back, it is unreal.
I wish Donut Steel didn't look so fucking gay
I did not enjoy this demo at all, what a fucking mess. There's way too much shit going on, and the focus on cinematic action parry and dodge combat is bad, because it's clunky as fuck. It feels horrible to play
>>695303332You're not meant to.
>>695304747That's an excuse for shitters.
>>695303998HE GOT YO ASS
>>695304909ALMOST as scary as his dw4 grab
>>695304725Unironically felt the same at first but got used to it somewhat. The cinematic thing is kinda okay when you got into the rhythm of the game and know when to do the right action thus know what cinematic shit is about to happen. They really went overboard with the chaotic nature of a battle though, when fighting the Great Army, I can barely tell what the fuck was going on.
>>695304725There is a lot going on and combat does seem to be more involved beyond "tank and spank with musou", but I like it.
ok so here's an important question.Does it have split screen couch co-op? I loved playing this with my bros back in the day.
>>695305039I'd love to know what optimization they've done under the hood considering how many mooks there are on-screen and game doesn't even chug a bit. Great Army at the gate section blew me away.
>>695305161
>>695305039Yeah maybe it is just getting used to it, getting my ass slapped by an officer because I can't see what he's doing as a swarm of mooks just walked into obstruct my view is not fun. Also randomly losing half my health because getting poked by said mooks I can't see is not fun either, at least I could fucking see when they did that in the early games (except archers). There's just way too much going on at one time, it really was not a comfortable experience
>>695304909I never thought I'd see Musou go for more cinematic route.
>>695305390not my dynasty warriors
>>695305656I'll still be playing because I don't have friends anymore.
>>695305651The games were always full of cutscenes.
>>695280738I will play if it has sex (or romance) in general
>>695305726yeah I was just kidding my bros don't play vidya anymore too
>bodyguards expanded to entire squad
>>695305835>romance
>>695305651someone post that Hung Guy wrasslin montage
>>695305915This game sucks so much ass I am so mad. Why even call it a Remake when it plays almost nothing like the original.
>>695295750more like Hawk Tuah lmao
>>695286962>fixed protag>no character creatorLol its shit. Nothing will ever surpass Empires
>>695305651It's not really that different from Nioh/Wolong enemy grab attacks
Who was Liu Shan mom?>>695305890>bodyguards expanded to entire squadIs that good or bad?
>>695306057That's why it's called Remake and not Remaster.
>>695295750>Reboot the series with a focus on trying to tell the early Three Kingdoms story better>Make an OC you can't customize and doesn't speak in cutscenes your ONLY playable character>Remove existing characters like Cao Pi from Guandu just because>Add EVEN more OC's like these 3 for no fucking reasonWhy are they so fucking stupid
Anyone know what "cheer up" actually does when on a horse?>>695305197>Great Army at the gate section blew me away....and that battle is small compared to what we've already seen in other battles, like the final showdown at Guandu. And supposedly there's bigger than that as well. The devs aimed for up to 10k on-screen at once.>random tipCheck the options. you can turn off loads of hud stuff and generally make it more immersive. Might even help you autists that are getting sensory overload
>>695306882Cao Pi was never at Guandu so it's good hes gone
>>695306980>Anyone know what "cheer up" actually does when on a horse?It restores the horse's stamina so you can dash more
>>695306853You get three abilities to command them with: Charge, Volley and Encircle, I think. They also keep stragglers off your back albeit poorly.
>>695306882because this is clearly a smaller game they'll use to build the actual dw10 on. maybe that way we'll avoid the first numbered game of the new generation being shit like dw6 or dw9.
how's the music? what's lu bu's theme sound like in this one?
is it true it only goes to Chengdu?
>>695307197This IS dw10, it's intended as a full reboot to redefine DW as a franchise and build a stronger foundation for the future
>>695307323Try Chibi. After that to Chengdu will be major DLC.
>>695307035Meanwhile SSX fighting for the coalition lol
>>695307323the demo? or the game?
Lu Bu route hopefully?>>695307573Atleast people like SSX, i would rather Cao Pi disappear until they can figure out how to make him interesting
>>695306875The fundamental of the game is entirely different>you gain abilities by sucking off other officers, hoard some of currency then learn the ability at Home, instead of learning them by observing abilities or endlessly bug other officers to teach you (which they may want to or outright cannot depends on your stats)>can no longer interact with civilians, instead got the Tales list which are basically repeatable generic sidequests>disasters are outright removed>battlefields are completely different and a lot smaller in scale>War Council is basically just to tell the player the strength of both armies and whether reinforcements are coming or not. There's no more marching formation or carefully choosing the tactics to utilize or actually asking officers for advice on how to proceed.>combat abilities are fucking 1 (UNO) use per battle with 100% accuracy instead of them costing morale and has hit rate depending on the ability level, which gives a massive risk to actually use because a failed ability is basically a wasted turn
>>695307104Ah ok. The way he raises his arm I thought it might've affected troops around you or something.
>>695307573Almost certainly just there for the demo.
>>695284510DW6 bros... Finally our ideas are recognised and acknowledged.
>>695305915The last NA was pretty great so i had high hopes for this and they fucked me over.
>>695307806In the actual game, she joins when Sun Jian got attacked by Liu Biao after leaving the coallition, so not much different anyway.
>>695307573he's a Tricky character.
Is this gonna be discount Ravages of time?
Reminder that some characters will age as the story progresses. We've already seen multiple characters aged up a little, like Guan Yu gets his full beard compared to not having a 'tache at the start of the game.
Did they include Kessen's mechanic in this game? kind of chaotic
>>695304909i always liked his chokeslam from 8xl and dong zhuo's rock bottom from the same game
>>695308137kinda. like anon said you get three commands for your squad. problem is they REALLY overloaded the mission with so much shit happening you'll just miss some of the stuff. especially when even on normal your generals start dying left and right.
>>695284531It's a completely different type of game they slapped the DW name on.
>>695307983The font and size of said font is absolute shit, you can only increase the size of it for the cutscene dialogue, not anything else
There's an awful lot of shillspeak in this thread.
>>695308617Yeah, the UI as a whole is just horrendous. It makes the game even more chaotic than it already is.
>>695307035Historical Cao Pi definitely was at historical Guandu. At that time historical Cao Cao always took his family with him on military campaign so that they wouldn't be captured by a surprise attack to the rear (something that once happened to historical Yuan Shao)
>>695308784>Cao Cao always took his family with him on military campaign so that they wouldn't be captured by a surprise attack to the rearOne more thing that makes Cao Cao an infinitely better man than Liu Bei kek
>>695307678Cao Pi's main issue is either you gotta get into his historical self to have him as anything but Cao Cao Jr which brings up its own issues, and/or you gotta make his reign longer than 6 years.
>>695308885Putting the safety and welfare of your family over the well-being of the empire is selfish and evil behavior. Liu Bei was a righteous and benevolent man who understood that the well-being of the country was more important than his son.
>>695308885Liu Bei never drank his own piss making him the better man
I recently predicted that this would be the best selling mainline DW game since DW3/4 despite the roster collectors seething at the fixed protag.With the demo out and the positive receptions its getting anywhere I look I'm even more confident in that prediction. DW is officially back.
>Most fun I've had with a musou game where I actually feel like im playing a game and not just giving myself a moment to rot in my chair to de-stress>obviously not as relaxing to play as the older games, i think they did say they'll continue with the DW8 formula for licensed games? so not too worried there>feels like the old games in that I can just go wherever and contribute right away without waiting for scripted sequences>UI was fine, you ignore most of it after a while and only check stuff when you have a free moment, though it does look like the UI is rendering at a lower resolution for some reason>in 2025 koei will be the only devs releasing optimized PC games and hell is also going to freeze over>never noticeed peons trying to gang up on me, was too chaotic at the gate especially when I realized I could just palm strike any peon glowing orange and wipe out a crowd>didn't understand how parrying worked, figured i had to hold the button after a while but i couldnt get a grip on the timing and Lu Bu made it very noticeable because of all his varied timing>holy FUCK it feels like im playing babysitter trying to deal with all the dying squads. i think that was the point with how disorganized the force was, but since nothing was truly scripted i felt significantly more stressed to make sure everyone got through instead of letting it play out9/10 demo, cant wait for full game
>>695308998Koei fear giving us wife murderer Cao Pi, maybe one day they'll characters do not so nice things for once
>>695309350The babysitting is pretty pronounced thanks to the massive morale hit you get early thanks to Hua Xiong, before that hits you can see them mop up generics
>>695309360It wasn't murder, it was a bestowal of death.
>>695309601I meant to try rushing Hua Xiong so I'd be there before you smashes the allied officer, just to see how differently things play out morale wise. But then I won't be there to save the wu forces...I'll test later.
Did they revert Hua Xiong back into a generic? What about Yuan Shu and He Jin
once you realize capturing bases affects morale more than killing officers you will keep a lot more of your army alive
>>695284531No. Play Warriors Orochi 4 instead.
>>695310123Hua has his big boi dw9 model with tweaks
>>695298636DW6 hardest dificulty was hard too. I think I needed at least 2 days before I could clear my first 1-star battle.But that is better for the game long term.
>>695310123>Did they revert Hua Xiong back into a generic?No>What about Yuan ShuStill has his DW9 design>He JinNever got a PC or UNPC design to be gin with.
Hoping we get chaos mode as a post game unlock or atleast as a update
>>695310363DW6 is only hard because Renbu sucks donkey ass and most character's attacks have fuck all for range until their Renbu level is at least 3.
>>695310401IGN previewer mentioned there's a mode beyond "hero" that you unlock by completing story mode
>>695310349>>695310379I swear He Jin was a playable officer in 9.
>>695310523Ah thank you thank god then, i can't imagine how fucked that mode is gonna get, hopefully they let you just play as the musou officers since it'll likely be hard enough for their power level to feel fine
>>695308240>average day in city with record fewest industrial accidents in China
>>695310650He wasn't, you were imagining things.
>>695306090
So how is the game compared to 4? Outside of having only single playable character
>>695310837Too early to tell, the demo only has 1 stage of Sishui gate after all. But UI aside, things look pretty good.
i really wonder what the hypotheticals will look like here, obviously with Guo Jia Wei will win Chi Bi, but how do you do ones for Shu and Wu? Xu shu staying around to kill Cao Cao and maybe also defeat Wu? maybe keeping Sun Ce alive? idk
>>695310837This is what your brain thought dw3/4 where like when you first played them as a kid
>Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong as allies during YTRKINO
>>695311086the dwarf should have just listened to cheng yu and jia xu he didn't need guo jia
>>695311086Sun Jian is specifically labelled as the leader among Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so I hope we get to save his ass and then things snowball from there somehow.
>>695309271There was a poll in the TGS about which game people were most hyped about, DWO was in second place after DQ3 remake, the series they can't release on work or school days cus they know folks will skip to play it.DWO will be like SW5: It will sell well but the PS2 boomers that loathed it from the start will pretend that it flopped
>>695311327Always hated how DW8s hypothetical had you saving Jian and Ce but they never even did anything, Wu fucking sucks
>>695311572Don't believe retarded urban legends bro.
>>695311642DW8's hypothetical as a whole just sucks, the only somewhat good one is Lu Bu's.
What's so Origins about this? I have DW8, never played a single one of these
>>695311642>You saved me! Ha ha well I guess I'm retiring now at the ripe old age of 35Wu runs off anime logic as expected of Shonentards: The Kingdom.
>>695310495Not knowing how to farm Renbu is literally a skill issue.
>>695311890A nonsense kingdom, i love Koei justifying their retarded Hefei assaults because they barely do anything offensively past Chi Bi so they have to pretend they win sometimes
>>695311572SW5 only sold 500k worldwide, which is objectively shit. And it's weird that you say "boomers" hating dw:o when its dw3/4 boomers that have been raving about DW:O the most in all the comment sections, saying how much it reminds them of playing the ps2 games as a kid.Sounds like you're just making shit up in your own head.
>replay DW5>get to the part where i'm already sick of having to play same stages over and over
>Surviving Allies: 31/34Bros, I don't even know any of them mook officers but this kinda hits hard. I didn't protect a damn thing.How do I protect everyone.
>>695312040It's not really shit when you take into account how low budget these games usually are, iirc it outsold SW4 as well
I feel like I'm getting massively trolled lately by all these people talking about how 3/4/5 were balls hard and it was tough to kill enemies and shit. Those games were easy as shit and the only reason you didn't get as high of kill numbers as the new games is because the console couldn't render enough fodder for you to kill. The only time you'd ever really die in 3 was when groups of archers would pelt you with a volley of arrows from past the draw distance.
>>695312046for me it's DW3 chibi
>>695303332Literally dodge and attack back with your RB attack to stagger him, then unload til he regains his footing. Why are people so shit at video games?
>>695312274Most people who say stuff like that haven't played those games since they were kids, only DW4 was every difficult since that game has fucked balancing and is also SHIT
>>695312197Give it up, anon. You can't protect everyone.
>>695312274The older games all had stages that would spawn a few dozen crossbowmen all around you with each shot taking out 20% of your health.
>>695312274A lot of it is childhood nostalgia and you can tell by anybody that lumps the games together. 5 is practically a proto-PS3 musou game with how passive the AI is and how they don't even finish combos. 4 is a middle ground between 3 and 5, the aggressiveness is more in line with 3 but peons stop finishing their combos and archers are obviously nerfed. 4 is the first game where you can just run off solo and be fine. And as you said, the biggest part of 3 that encouraged sticking with your army was just the overpowered archers.
>>695312197Calling it now. Going balls deep into pacifist/protector mode will get or lock you into a certain route.
>>695312476The modern games do this as well on hard mode and above
>>695310719>>695310650>>695310650>>695310379He was playable on the Chinese employer Direct Army faction in a total war 3 kingdom dlc.
Hopefully this will sell enough so that they'd create a full fledged Empire mode of Origins with decent enough management system.
>>695309350got lu bu on hero difficulty, didnt notice a difference thoughwheels are OP since you can leave them out and get a hit in as soon as the boss-approved hitstun indicator comes on
>>695312197if it means anything, most of these officers don't die in every battle they appear in.Still doesn't mean I don't try my best so that someone like Cai Mao can make it out of Red Cliffs
I imagine whatever licensed musou that will launch with the switch 2 will be in the classic style which will be pretty funny
>>695284786>EmpiresThis is what I'm waiting for personally. I actually really like the Romance of 3 Kingdoms stuff and even their kinda lame at times interpretations of the people, but there's only so many times I can care about another re-imagining. I just want to fight them and imagine scenarios like teaming up with Dong Zhuo for world domination.
>>695312802Source?
is mystery nigga going to be an actual character or is it a donut steel?
>>695313656Filename, anon.
>>695313746>121748093_p0That doesn't really help.
>>695314120Oh well, he gave you a source. Take it or leave it.
The 3D world you move around on looks perfect for Empires. It could be like a Total War game or mount&blade were you can see the armies of different factions on the world map, moving about during their turn etc.
I exit before the game was done .
>>695295750>that Huaman, ancient chinese medicine sure is something if he's that young looking
An ancient evil has awakened once more.
>>695280738>His demoYou play as one character and never touch Lu bu, fuck off with this dogshit spin off
>>695315609uh, your lu bu fight timer, bro?
I have defeated an officer.
>>695312024Attacking Hefei was their best strategy. All other strategies attempted by Sun Quan and his successors were even bigger failures.
Possible Dynasty Warriors and or three kingdom Strokes Family Guy could do? Also if anyone else have any images of someone from Family Guy dressed up as someone from Dynasty warriors please upload it.
>>695315609Origins isn't a spin-off. It's the next mainline game and a reboot of the entire franchise.
>Half of the English dub is just Kyle HerbertWhat the hell?
with all the soulslike mechanics added I'm half expecting to meet enemies like this at a castle or some shit
>>695317171Congratulations on being the biggest retard in the thread.
Does anyone think the end-level boss fight is out of place? You rightfully gather forces, increase morale, save your guys, capture bases, all to get bigger fighting forces only to basically have to one-on-one the hardest ** Lu Bu in the entire series?** Can I do better in the early game or do I have to fight with what I have?
>>695318690>Does anyone think the end-level boss fight is out of place?That's because it is, he's just a bonus for the demo. He won't show up at Si Shui gate in the full game.
>lu bu pursues youoh shitother than that, it plays very good. gonna be a good foundation for the next real game or orochi
>>695309350>in 2025 koei will be the only devs releasing optimized PC games and hell is also going to freeze overmy man this still looks like a ps3 game, they just used all the extra frame rate to fit in even more troops on screen
>>695294097Cope and seethe, mobile gacha is the future. I hope some chinese company makes a clone out of this game but with hot waifus
>>695319438good lord, what do you freaks even do in those games except goon to pngs?
>>695291215Absolute matrimony
>>695319359doesnt matter, runs at 60fps on my mid PC while also fitting all the troops on screen which is more than i can say for MH Wilds struggling to put 5 animals on screen due to CPU bottleneck
>never played DW beforeI feel like you need ADHD to play this shit. There's like 10 things happening at once and I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing half the time. Fuck this shit.
>>695321693this game is an experiment of trying to satisfy the old audience by offering something fresh that attempts to tickle the same parts of the brain the old games did, so its not surprising that its a little difficult to grasp immediately
>>695321693This is the worst it has ever been. I've played every DW and musou spin off you can think of and I'm having trouble adjusting. They've gone down the action game route but tripled the amount of shit going on, it's a lot to take in.
>>695321693even series fans are saying there's too much going on. this is basically a genuine level rather than tutorial masquerading as one.
>>695319535Look at the wow so cool particle effects
is the series playable with kbnm now?
I enjoyed myself enough for how low my expectations were.
random thing but i like that the glow on the polearm levels is a more jade-like color as opposed to the insane bright green they've been using for defense ups since forever
>>695323707So far yes, only issue is that some of the on-screen prompts are kind of glitchy and only show the mouse prompts when you click one of the mouse buttons, so they'll be rapidly flickering between the keyboard prompts and the mouse prompts while you're fighting.
the overall consensus of the demo is super positive but a lot of people are complaining that its too hard now compared to previous gamesseems to be a reasonable complaint since the difficulty jump is massive for a musou game, i got ganked a few times at the start just because i didnt fully understand what i was jumping into
>>695325160Honestly most of complaints would be stopped by competent tutorial mission
>>695321693change the controls so block and dodge are on the same row of triggers, I fucked up a lot because the default controls are weird and kept mixing up buttons with orders/special moves
>>695325160It didn't feel that hard until i died like 20 times to Lu Bu
>>695280738The best dynasty warriors I've played. Though I've not played many tbfh.
>>695309350Desu recently Koei announced that had expanded and merged all their man power to create a single massive 5000 studio focused on AAA and pc gaming and it shows, unironically whatever talent they managed to get actually know what they are doing.
>>695280738
How is it that people are dodging all the hits on some of Lu Bu's faster combos? I always dodge the first and then eat shit on the second one because it feels like I'm still in my dodge recovery when he hits. Is it because I'm mashing and its cancelling the first dodge with a mistimed dodge or something?
>>695280738Are we going to have achievements for this game on Steam?
>>695280738Please tell me one can change how the main character looks in the final game. God I hate how the mc dude looks so much. Looks like an absolute faggot.
>>695330349In worst case there should be mods for that
I never played a musou game before, the combat itself was piss easy but I guess had more going on than I expected (I was expecting literally just one attack button and like one special attack button + super attack) but I had a lot of trouble with the macro play, I have 0 clue where to go or what i'm supposed to do other than to stay on the nuts of the one general because he seems to get constantly gang banged if i'm not there to save his ass so I don't auto-fail. The big battle at the end was just insanely difficult to me because there's so much going on and so many enemy generals running about, attacking you from behind. It's kinda fun but ultimately, not caring about RotK, I don't see the point in playing when if I wanted something more tactical, i'd play an actual tactics game, and if I wanted an actual action game...i'd play an actual action game i.e. wo long, a game under the same publisher
So far I hate it.A million goddamn things yelling at me on the screen at all timesThere are no enemy troops at all unless a general calls them for some squad attackGenerals have turned into mini rollslop "dodge and wait for him to go through his whole choreographed sequence and then do the thing to break poise" garbageTheir stupid animations cannot be stopped except by the meter move, can't juggle them, they get to do their thing guaranteed over and overThis is not Dynasty Warriors at all
They really need to slow the pace down for the amount of things you need to keep track of at once. It has turned even MORE towards the >run from general to general as fast as possible and ignore literally everything elsedesign that I have hated since 6
game sucks desuthe protag sucks even more
>>695335671>This is not Dynasty Warriors at allthis is true, this is a spinoff more focused on combat
>>695336586WrongIt has been confirmed by the director to be DW10, multiple times.
>>695336704then you're gonna have to play a new musou series QQ
>>695336806>then you're gonna have to not give Koei any moneyOh okay.
>>695337723don't cry when it does very well
>>695337825don't caredw9 sold very well too and it's actual garbage like this game
>Yuan Shao has fled.
>>695288271Lu Bu in the gameplay trailer takes place in a snowy field (Hulao Gate).You're supposed to avoid him in the full game I think.
>>695280738I'll wait for the supreme edition that comes with the 72 overpriced DLCs included
Maxed out at 25/34 officers surviving on Hero, so really only 6 deaths not counting the 3 that die to Hua XiongIt's all about the bases, a base is worth like 3-4 officers of morale and you kill them anyways taking a base
>>695290028How is he a cuck? They literally kill him because he keeps fucking the wives of his units.
>>695339326Lu Bu gains his infamy because he couldn't stand having Dong Zhuo fucking Diaochan behind his back and rebelled.
>>695339487Zhuo is like the pure distilled form of NTRman.
>>695339658diaochan is a fictional character, she's just in there to give more narrative drama to the real life lu bu who was just incredibly opportunistic
>>695312543Not at all. Still go back to DW3 once in a while and the difficulty is from the enemy aggressiveness. Archers don't really play a big role to be honest. Says a lot who this game is catering to when I see these kinds of comments I guess.
>>695339948>why don't they cater to people from 25 years agoi don't know, think about it
I'm getting filtered by a Dynasty Warriors game. It's time to transition. Transition to DIE.
>>695340097I'm sure many ageing fujos will buy it
I can't beat Lu Bu. I'm actually washed.
Roommate tried playing this and bitched about it, saying the game was terrible because it didn't have a tutorial, even though the game shows you what will happen and gives you control explanations when it drops you in. I told him it was okay and he can wait for the next sony game to hold his hand for him.
>>695339487>>695339658>>695339938The way the story is told in the history records, Dong Zhuo would be the one getting cuckolded. Lü Bu had an affair with one of Dong Zhuo's women and became Dong Zhuo would find out and kill him.
>>695317171>Blocking and dodging is souls-likeI hope you die in your sleep.
>>695342653>because it didn't have a tutorialThe game literally pause itself and shows you giant menu explaining things to the player. What the fuck is wrong with your roommate?
>>695342787Low intelligence. He gets game overs all the time in Kingdom Hearts 2 on normal.
>>695340185Transition to Diversity Inclusion Equity? Planning on becoming a nigger anon?
>>695280738>Camera jumps to some general, doing big thing>camera jumps back to my up, firmly up his ass>camera jumps to some animation that's finished playing by the time the camera reaches it.>Camera zooms out for a brief second, so you can imagine what this game would look like if it wasn't shit>camera lens pressing itself back into my characters right shoulder where it remains for the rest of the battle.I. CANT. SEE. SHIT.0/1000
>>695284430i prefer preset character, char creation is stupid anyway in a game like this
>>695319438zzz is dying btw, not even gooners care about that "game" anymore lmao
>>695343542Doesn't the game have options to turn off cinematic camera?
>>695343918Oh shit, it might. All I know is I looked for camera distance or FOV or something like that and gave up on the game when I didn't find them.
>>695342653Its an absolutely terrible 'tutorial'. Cramming an entire game's worth of mechanic information into one mission and expecting the player to digest it all in one go (by constantly interrupting them) is retarded, moreso within the context of a demo which is something you put out to attract and on-board people to your product. This is a solved problem, too. All they had to do was have two demo missions, with one of them being geared more towards getting people up to speed with the basics and another that would build on that with the rest of what the game has going on.
>>695289272completely ass ranged
>>695280738>after all these years Gongsun Zan seems to finally have a unique appearance and voicethe empires game will be glorious
>>695345273>he's bishiehow do you say it's over in chink
>>695345484I mean, he had a long haired portrait as a generic in 7 and 8...
>>695345273His name always stood out. I'm glad they finally recognized him.
>>695308715It's the first DW game that isn't boiling ass in almost 10 years, let them have this one.
>>695308715>Talking about how good the demo is and scratch both old player and new player>accused as shillkys faggot
>>695344552No anon, he's too retarded to rotate the camera.
>>695345273I thought his color was supposed to be white?
>>695346831it's probably green only because he's leading Liu Bei into battle
>>695346476>goodhello shill
ssxo
Are we going to get an empires version? With character creator?
>>695348175One can hope, maybe as dlc or something
>>695345273>no Zhao Yun anywhere within the coallitionIt is so orge for our poster boy
>>695349725MC feels pretty Zhao Yun coded tbdesu
I can't believe I'm pre-ordering a Dynasty Warriors game in 2024
I'm surprised at how well this game runs considering how much of a shitshow it's been this year.
>>695311086I feel like Wu's will be like their hypotheticals from... 6, I think? Basically not have all of their leaders eat shit and die one after the other. I'm excited to give the demo a try after reading this thread. I was very skeptical about the game, especially after 9, but it sounds like the game has gone back to being like the days of 4, just with some added improvements.
>>695350374>not always pre-ordering the Treasure Box edition for those sweet Artbook and OST goodies
The amount of slow downs, mini-cutscenes, bitch ass interruptions from gameplay is already annoying in the demo. Why can't you just make a straight forward game that doesn't take control away from the player in favor of cinematic garbage.
Did these motherfuckers make Gao Shun and Zang Ba unique npcs?
Imagine a DW game without women in it and no faggy anime dudes.
>>695351206
>>695351206>>695351269Probably just a new type of generic. Valiant officer type or something. Gao Shun is cool, but his role is pretty much already played to full extent by Zhang Liao, same with Zang Ba.
>>695351405They take me for a surprise, unfortunately I can't tell if they're unique because the guys playing these preview builds don't fucking look at battlefield info, from a JP video I know that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are unique npcs like Gongsun Zan because they don't have generic portraits
>>695351216>without women in it>implying no zhen ji tittiesfag
>>695351216You might as well play something else because Lu Xun and Diaochan has been in since DW1.
It's really jarring how much the game feels like DW9 and yet at the same time it doesn't feel like shit
>Zhang Jiao just has an actual boss fight with phases holy shit https://youtu.be/uUk3UzKKs94?t=653
>>695309187Yeah but no one cried and sobbed and stamped his feet like a pussy quite like Liu Bei.
>>695311086I sense that Wu is going to be>Literally (you) cucks Liu Bei out of his waifu, hijinks ensue, alliance never happens, millions die.Given that Shangxiang is your starting partner in the Wu path
So I rushed Hua Xiong at the start and was able to stop the huge morale drop and basically max out morale for the whole missionCourage is way more important than morale. The officers you see dying super fast are because they're fighting officers with higher courage than them, and they need a big morale advantage to be able to beat them. If you want to be optimal you need to kill the high courage officers in each area and leave the regular ones for your allies
Is it just me or do the controls feel like ass to play? I think it has to do with the camera being so jittery.
>>695353179>the coalition is full of pussies who flees at the very first signs of troubleChecks out, I guess.
>>695351216They already turned Cow Cow into a faggy anime dude.
>>695353341They literally took Lu Bu's head and put it on his body
>>695353179>>695353308>most of them were passive members>most turned on each other within a year
>>695353536No way. Lubu looked like a man and not a Kpop pretty boy.
>>695353341calm down xuande, try to imagine him without facial hair
>>695353626Are all Mongolians 8 feet tall like him
>>695280738can only play as a k pop twinkpass
>>695353682I can't it's impossible
WHERES MY BOY MA CHAO
>>695353341First time i looked at cao cao i thought he looked like kazuya
Just stopped playing, I'm thinking we are so back boys.
I haven't played a musou in over a decade. Is there anything good natively available on PC? Online co-op optional.
>>695353341I predicted this years ago. Everyone getting younger versions. Now they just need to pull a Spirits of Sanada and give them an old man version.
>Hyrule Warriors is 10 years old
>>695354415DW8 and WO3U are both on Steam. DW8 is kinda fucked in the sense that they used the PS3 models instead of the PS4 but otherwise it's good. WO3U is straight a good port of a good game.
everyone looks like lu bu without facial hair
>>695354637Even Lu Xun?
>>695280738it's just 9 with levels and some roll slop combat2345 are still the only good dynasty warriors games
>>695355350Tell me you didn't play 9 nor Origins demo without telling me so.
>slop
>>695280738I like it. In the previous games, it's either you or the general juggling one another. In this game, that's a bit harder to do and they actually feel like a threat instead of someone you kill for their drops before moving on to the next target.
>>695355442you're definitely a zoomer that loves rollslop if you type like that
>>695280738Skipping, wake me when there's CAW
If I ask you guys to post some gameplay, would there be a significant difference from the first game and the latest?
>>695354569What about WO4? Is it considered a lesser game?
>>695355757The first game is literally an entirely different genre, it's a fighting game.
I think I'm just going to replay DW7EMPIRES
>>695355792WO4U has a very nonsensical story. A lot of reuse stages (freakin' Fan Castle got reused 4 times throughout iirc) while also using stages from DW8 and SW4, 2 games with the worst stage designs in the series. The magic items is a gimmick and pales in comparison to 3U's Special attacks because only a few magic attacks are actually useful. The roster is too bloated now and you can really feel the imbalance playing WO's Mystic characters whose movesets haven't been updated since the PS2 days compared to DW8 characters, and god forbid, the broken God characters introduced in WO4.
>>695354569Do you guys think DW8 is false advertising on Steam?It's labeled as "Complete Edition" yet it's missing a lot of DLC you have to buy separately
>>695356380To be fair, in Japanese, it's titled as DW8+XL. Otherwise, yeah, it's false advertising because of the DLCs like you said.
>>695354707Especially Daqiao-chan
little weird they picked sishui gate for the demo since it does seem like a very skewed level with how fast your allies die, someone uploaded the entire hulao gate level and they were on it for like 40 minutes and had plenty of time to fuck around without their allies crumbling instantly
>>695356380If you want all the DLC buy the windows store version since for some reason it's included
>>695356380DW8 has been on Steam since back in 2014 compared to the Windows Store version (with all the DLCs) which came out years after that. Koei prolly couldn't be arsed to upgrade its steam port with the graphic into PS4 and the myriad of DLCs. I mean they could've just bundled every DLCs there is and make them far cheaper but they've never done that either.
>>695357685>I mean they could've just bundled every DLCs there is and make them far cheaper but they've never done that eitherActually, they did with DW9.
>reach the sishui gate>enemies literally spamming charge command left and rightOverall a pretty fun demo. Finally beat Lubu after a couple of tries. Though I hope your allies would at least die slower here, jobbing 1 minute into battle is ridiculous.
>>695357804i meant to say for this particular DW8. it's like after they just released all the DLCs, the only thing they did was just discounting the price when there's a sale.
>>695357808>enemies literally spamming charge command left and rightYou're meant to fuck off from the enemy's main army, go to the sides or something and fight there until you can stop their infantry charge Grand Tactic.
>>695357685DW8 in general is weird, it's priced differently on every platform
>>695353341>Lu Bu but purpleThese models are generic as fuck
>>695357808The stage is just really punishing morale wise, i guess they wanted to show the coalition are barely into it or something
liu bei is so tiny
>>695358046>Lu Bu Medium, tall bearded Lu Bu, Lil Lu Bu, Wide Lu Bu
Who's banging the shit out of the gong when I'm at the gate with Hua Xiong? They won't shut the fuck up
Holy fucking shit dynasty warrior bros...we are so fucking back...The only fear I have now is that if its low on content
>>695358665They can drag it since you're allowed to play multiple factions. Like in SW5, the story only covered Nobunaga's Ambition but had enough content for base line SW game.
>>695358665More than 3 endings, IF routes, secret weapons, seemingly a post game difficulty. Should be a good amount even if it lacks a grind mode
>Asian Jew Strikes Againfuck you KOEI and your retarded pricing
>>695280738the OC bussy was crushed a million times but It is surprisingly fun
>>695290251Real life Lu Bu was getting pushed around his wife and Chen Gong on what to do when going against Cao Cao, Gao Shun tried to be a bro and steer him to surrender but his downfall was basically at the hands of his indecisiveness and listening to the wrong people
I love that basic enemies can actually put up a fight and can effectively block you in a big enough crowd. I have only finished AOC but i hated how it was basically a boss rush because basic enemies were so useless. Li Jue moving through the crowd and forcing you to clear a path is so cool.
>my potato of a computer can play the game just fineHow?! DW9 even in the lowest settings still give hiccups and yet this game plays incredibly smooth despite looking massively more demanding.
>>695356234Are the Empires entries on PC any good?
Considering it has a Steam Deck setting means that they at least put some kind of thought to the PC version
>>6953607959E is ass. 8E is okay, it has the good combat of 8, and the stratagems is kind fun if a tad gimmicky, it has less character events and side quests compared to 7E so its content seems a bit lackluster.
>>695360795I like 7E just because your allies will actually do quite well by themselvesI've had them go in a pack of 3 or 4 and clear up a few bases and kill the boss for me while I was off doing other stuff on the map
>can't keep morale up to save every unique officer for hulao gateCan't believe I gotta git gud in a fucking dynasty warrior game. I noticed the brothers don't usually make it unless you go with Guan Yu
>>695361350You have to adopt a different mentality for this game. It's not like the older ones where they'd only have like 10-15 officers on a map, now you get like 30+ allies on a map and you're expected to lose some and have to sacrifice some parts of the map to shore up others
Is it just me or the podao kinda sucks? Having to charge your attacks in a game where you are surrounded by hyper aggressive enemies doesn't seem like it could work.
