If it's the same game as origins but with 3's stages slapped on it, then it be sucky
but if they tried to approach the og game as much as possible, namely the badass peons that can combo you to do death if you aren't careful, then it will be decent
especially if they keep the original english dub

That's true for most major warlords. Liu Bei is frankly the worst offender but everybody pretends he isn't because he was able to get some support from the people and had the same last name as the Emperor.

Sun Jian was probably the one genuinly loyal guy fighting for the coalition. Sun Ce was less loyal but it's frankly staggering he lasted as long as he did under Yuan Shu and in the end Yuan Shu basically handed him every excuse to call it quit in a term that everybody would view as totally morally acceptable. Sun Quan was fairly opportunist but he was, seemingly, at least somewhat devoted to his desire to maintain Jiangdong Independence and most of his opponents other than MAYBE Liu Baio and Shi Xie were really no better.

He was a very self serving man but it's hard to say where "Understands the value of good PR" ends and "Genuinely cares about the people" starts even at the best of times.

I would argue Sun Quan might have cared more considering his actual motivation. Main question generally being how true he was to that motivation. Cao Cao meanwhile was motivated by actually trying to fix the mess the han Dynasty had become, even if that did also involve making sure his family had a permanent seat at the table.

Liu Bei was just in it for himself. Even his claimed motivation of restoring the han dynasty really served nobody other than himself.

I think with some minor changes most people would honestly find it easier to root for Wu, frankly. Especially in the west it's hard to understand why restoring the obviously bad and corrupt dynasty is meant to be good. Meanwhile in actual motivation Wu are basically the Starks of Game of Thrones.

>>
>>721622695
>He did massacre a city though
He also cleaned up a lot of barbarian tribes in south China.

He was motivated by the interests of the people of Jiangdong. Not really North China, and even his relationship with Jing province was a bit more complex.
>>
>>721622823
yes I know what he did, it's just that when compared to Liu's "love for the people", Sun Quan will rank below him (in normalfag morality) just for that alone
at least in my eyes (I am not a shufag by any means, I see through the Shuhan ploys)
>>
>>721622821
>Dunno about that, the Targs have a lot of fans too, and the situation isn't very disimilar
To be sure. The main difference though is that, for all of her flaws, Daenerys actually has a very clean claim on the throne and most of her opponents are leading the country into ruin. Liu Bei's claim on the throne is frankly laughable, and he's largely going up against a guy who for all of his flaws did genuinly manage to get the government of China into a working shape again.

>btw fuck you for making me remember ASOIAF and the fat man not writing...
Yeah, I know.

Frankly, I kind of hope ASOIAF ends like the Three Kingdoms. But I doubt it will.
>>
>>721622896
I find it hard to really argue somebody loves the people when they are trying to restore a fairly, at least among the peasantry, unpopular dynasty mostly out of self interest. Especially in the modern day it's probably much easier to portray Liu Bei as morally questionable.

Fittingly, Liu Bei honestly reminds me a lot of Liu Bang. Certainly a man of some virtue but most people tend to agree most of his seeming popularity among the peasants was largely self serving.
>>
>>721622979
>and he's largely going up against a guy who for all of his flaws did genuinly manage to get the government of China into a working shape again.
And made the central provinces into actually livable territories once again, as they have been ravaged during the yellow turban rebellion and all the infighting later while also being fair to the commoners, but yah, Cao Cao is definitely the villain...
> Daenerys actually has a very clean claim on the throne
Actually, I don't know if the Baratheons can claim precedent from the dance of dragons about her not being a male, but yes, her claim has merit. Liu Bei was almost literally "trust me I am related to the Han, for real", I don't think they ever proved he was actually related to the imperial family in history, and even if he was, he was so far removed from it, it shouldn't have mattered, there were dozens of Lius with a closer relationship.
But Bei managed to endure...

which is why I said that I see through their tricks, lots of people online defend Liu Bei by saying "ah, he didn't kill peasants", but he literally did so through his actions, as he built up his own kingdom, which directly lead to some of th ebloddiest battles in history.
But yeah he didn't kill civillians directly, so he's glazed

Honestly, I often wonder if Cao Cao had just totally smashed all of his opponents if he would be remembered as a Emperor Aurelius esque figure.

>But Bei managed to endure...
I mean, whatever you want to say about his claim, motive, or care for the people around him. His borderline psychotic determination and ability to crawl back from defeats that crippled men far more conventionally talented than him is absolutely worthy of at least some admiration. It's also the one trait that is typically lost in trying to glorify him, ironically.

I hate to be edgy but in real history, especially in bloody civil wars like the Three Kingdom, there really isn't such a thing as a good or bad guy. At best it's pretty hard to defend the like of Dong Zhou or Sun Hao but I've seen people do both.

>>721623308
>But yeah he didn't kill civillians directly, so he's glazed
It's pretty weird morality. Granted, I can't exactly fault him for not just rolling over and letting Cao Cao kill him but after a certain point it's hard to argue he didn't cause a lot of harm for a pretty debatable cause.

>Yeah, they are pretty similar, although historically only Bang threw his children
They also both had a guy whose name was Liang as one of their main advisors and strategists. Not particularly noticeable, but I always found it funny.

Unfortunately, the focus of the show after the deaths of Liu Bei and Cao Cao is Zhuge Liang vs Sima Yi, so Cao Pi's invasion of Wu and all the stuff he does that can't be tied to Cao Cao or Sima Yi gets overlooked.

That's because the attributed author, Luo Guanzhong, used the writings from a Shu Three Kingdoms politician, Chen Shou, as a basis for his novel. It's no surprise Liu Bei gets revised into being a hero, instead of a warlord.

It's still different from 3 where majors and bodyguards were mass produced mini officers and could rough you up pretty badly, but I will agree that Origins is a massive step up in difficulty from 7 and 8.

It is strange.
I assumed it would just be a graphic overlay like NG2, but the increase in not only troops on screen, but they are clearly not grouped into the 5-man squads they used to be. I can't see the minimap, but the stages also clearly have a lot more elevation variance where the original was almost all flat plains.

But at the same time, the movesets and musou attacks are the exact same as DW3, meaning the charge system is back.

So this is some strange hybrid between Origins and DW3. I'm very curious to see what else is going on under the hood.

6 giving the ability to literally go anywhere on the stage if you could get a horse to jump high enough was fucking awesome. No invisible walls, just jump right into the river and swim across, or jump-cancel climb right up the side of a mountain. The stages were also beautiful to look at, I remember one of them against Yuan Shu having perfect morning mist that seemed to be right out of some Chinese painting.

It's such a shame that the Renbu system had to completely cripple the game's potential, because in all other areas it was a massive leap from the PS2 entries.
>>

I mean, most of the new music is classic. Arena is great. Like Wei Hefei theme. And, yeah, this one is probably the best Nanmam theme.

The Renbu system is the weak point. Though I often find it pretty easy to ignore during officer duels. Though those were still better in SW 2.

>because in all other areas it was a massive leap from the PS2 entries.
Yeah. Outside of story 7 was also a pretty big step back. Even graphically the game just looked worse somehow.
>>
I fucking love how the longer you actually get to know the actual history of RotK, it genuinely seems more and more and MORE like Shu were the criminal scum monsters who prolonged warfare for decades and are responsible for the losses of thousands of lives in the end.

Lies, belligerence, child rape, psychopathic murder, nepotism, eunuchs and failure are their legacy and they are STILL treated like heroes to many. Its fucking unreal.
>>
>>721632432
Agreed. It also is the one that has no definitive version to play yet.

>PS3 version is the original one
>PS2 version has more unique characters and stories to play but the reduced resolution sucks ass

>>721632580
DW7 and 8 looked like mud. The ridiculous glowing effects on literally everything did not help at all. They were just dull games not only to look at, but also to play.

DW7 had the million clones, the weapon switch bullshit corner cutting, the shitty mission mode, and the super drawn out Jin campaign which was a total waste of time.

Then 8 used the rock paper scissors shit that made every fucking officer encounter just a matter of switching to the other weapon and spamming that stupid rush attack to kill them with no resistance.

Both of them were way too linear, with annoying "objectives" meaning you had to play every stage exactly the same with no variation, just so you could see their stupid setpieces in the order they wanted you to.

>>721633227
Because the series kept getting ripped to shreds in reviews because of it.

Very few people understood what the Musou games even were, and started comparing them to Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden in terms of action games instead of recognizing that they were battlefield crisis management games.
Even Koei seemed to forget that part and started trying to remarket it as the "1 vs 100000000" genre around DW7.

Origins has finally remembered what the genre is about, thankfully.

I tried the demo, and the combat weirdly scripted. If I jump into the air and press the normal attack button, my character just teleports to the ground and starts their ground attack string. I have to explicitly do the launcher attack, then mashing normal attack automatically does an aerial combo.

Well your job in the old games was not to fight the entire enemy army by yourself, it was to open paths and blockades (often in the form of officers, or literal gates) for your army to advance. The management came in when several different divisions of your army were under duress at the same time and you had to choose who to help when, and in the early game before you acquired a fast horse and foreknowledge of the battle, you often only had time to help one division and had to leave the others to their fate (which would not end the stage, just make it more difficult to complete and make you feel like shit for letting your bros die)

For me the combat felt less dynamic, every fight largely plays out the same with the superarmour funneling you into defensive mechanics before you can really interact with enemies, if you gave every weapon the guardbreak that sword/halberd have and have battle arts that guarantee launchers/knockdown/stuns it would be alot better

I also like how Yuan Shao went back to being a respectable if occasionally foolish commander, instead of the weirdo they had running around in 6-8. Although Origins doesn't do a good job of showing his friendship with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao kinda got the short end of the stick imo, I don't really remember him all that much from Origins. Just the usual humiliation ritual.

>>721634348
One thing the old charge system combat did really well was give you a sense of control, since you know exactly what move did what and when you needed to use it, such as C2 stuns, C4 wide swinging group attacks, C5 multi-hit officer smashers, C6 ranged blade waves, etc.

IMO the way to improve this would be to take all these utility moves and decouple them from having to use normal strings first, making them their own unique button presses like Basara where you could use any of them at any point.

I feel like 9 tried to do this but ended up automating it too much to be more cinematic

yeah this was a shame because i thought they did a good job showing how conflicted Cao Cao was before and after guandu but in the context of the game in isolation it didn't really mean anything

I did not care for 5 and I am glad they are going for 3 instead.

I find 5 to be overrated and suffers from "last game on the system syndrome" where everyone assumes it was the best because it was the "newest" one of the classic games. 5 was a step down in almost all aspects from 4, 3 and even 2.

I have the same opinion of 8 as well.

I never found attack lock to be a problem, none of my friends did either. Never heard the complaints until recently when I guess zoomers started emulating them.

Attack lock annoyed me in 4, but that's because I usually played as Cao Cao, and attack lock can really fuck up his C6. So having it disappear in 4E and 5 was a game changer for me, but admittedly I barely noticed it in 4 when using other characters.

This is untrue. The word translated as “Romance” by Brewitt-Taylor is “Yanyi” which in context can be understood as “explained.” The original title “Sanguozhi Yanyi” means “the history of the three kingdoms explained.” So yes, it was pretending to be real history and attempting to supersede the historical records, and people taking everything in the Yanyi at face value is the Yanyi working as intended.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is unironically one of the most sexist pieces of classical literature. Liu An murders and cooks his wife for Liu Bei and this is portrayed as virtuous, and Zhang Fei was literally a pedophile rapist but is portrayed heroically.

It actually happened. Multiple times, even, as a Japanese fanboy of the story repeated the feat during Sengoku.
What's fake is attributing it to Zhuge. He had nothing to do with the real thing. Plus there was a small boatload of added happenstances which made questioning the defenders' weakness much more reasonable than the final story portrays it.

I think anon’s point is the crazy version attributed to Zhuge Liang could have only worked by being fictional.

You need to read and understand things in context. Zhang Fei did the honorable thing by marrying her. You do realize what the alternative would have been in a time of chaos and war, right? To make things scarier, the record says he married her because he realized she was from an upper class family. Imagine what might have happened if it were some peasant girl and someone less honorable than Zhang Fei.

>It's easy to root for the underdog.
Chinese (and Japanese) aren't too big on that. It's really more about the fact they're the Han holdouts.
Wei establishes Tang China, Wu establishes Southern China, but Han is just there being the Chinese Roman Empire.
Easy to we-wuz when you're a northerner forced to flee down south into lands that are too fucking hot, where people still have to deal with jungle barbarians squatting in the mountains, where people eat this horrid shit called "rice" alongside all sorts of fucked up shit that should never have been put on a table.
The real odd thing is how even the southerners (be it Chinese or Vietnamese) took up to fellating them. Though I would expect there was a period where they were the "There's nothing wrong with rice" camp that still took Wei/Wu position in these retellings.

The big one is that enemy officers don't have super armour by default, so instead of parrying or waiting to counter you can just walk up to enemies and wail on them. However, you don't have dodges or ways to cancel out of attacks.

It sounds cool on paper, but it makes the combat a lot more button mashy and completely eliminates the functions of the different charge attacks. And the fact that you can't have the Renbu gauge maxed out at all time makes the system a massive chore.

DW2. In 3 and 4, they had to explicitly charge up to heal, but the charge up time wasn't that long. I think 5 removed officer healing, but some powered up officers (think Lu Bu at Hulao Gate or Zhang Liao or Gan Ning at Hefei) could heal and activate permanent buffs when they hit certain health thresholds as makeshift boss fights.

New to the series? Here's my super brief of the series:

>1: Not a DW game
>2: Tech demo for 3
>3: Gold standard of the series. Aggressive AI that can juggle you to death giving the chance, incredibly unforgiving archers that can snipe your health bar to smitherens if you're not careful, first to introduce secret unlockable items and ultimate weapons. Has individual story mode and cutscenes with interchangeable characters that can result in plenty of hilarious exchanges. (In)famous for the hilariously bad English dub
>4: Ditched the individual story mode for faction story with branching paths. Weapons now have lvs and you must grind them up to max before you can unlock the ultimate weapon. Enemy aggressiveness is somewhat dialed down and it's starting to let you be able to actually take the whole enemy army if you're good enough, still plenty tough for newcomers though, and it infamously has the most hated stage in all of the franchise.
>5: The most polished of the PS2 games with many much needed QoL changes like the semi-decloning most of the characters and removing the auto lock-on (though admittedly this one was already done in a previous spin-off). Back to individual story mode, and weapons now may come in 3 different weights with varying power and attack speed to them.
>6: The first black sheep of the series. Very good stage design but the combat >>721641096 is incredibly divisive, and made worse by having cut characters as well as 2/3 of the roster being clones.
>7: Goes back to the old charge attack system of the PS2 games but with new movesets. Half the roster is still clones, but you can switch between 2 weapons on the fly, and if a character uses their favorite weapon, they have one extra EX charge attack. Most noticeable thing about it is expanding the story to go past the 235AD to 264AD and offers a much stronger narrative than its predecessors. Faction-based story though.

>8: Refinement of 7 where everyone is unique, and the weapon switching is encouraged to be utilized by a rock-paper-scissor system where using a disadvantageous weapon makes you unable to stunlock the enemy, and using advantageous one can give you a powerful Storm Rush massive AOE attack. Also faction story with branching paths, but the narrative sucks ass again now. Also probably the most grindy of the series if you want to 100% it
>9: The second black sheep where the game goes open world, but the world is incredibly empty and completely kills level design. Also experimented with yet another new combat system where your attack strings are based on the state of the enemy you're attacking. I personally liked the new combat, but it is VERY definitely not for everyone.

>Enemy aggressiveness is somewhat dialed down
Not necessarily dialed down. They are much more proactive when it comes to interrupting your combo, but no longer do full combo or casting musou. Especially when you dare to ride anything but Shadow Runner horse.
On PC version, the double troop count on screen makes the game super annoying when soloing with no bodyguards.

The most annoying thing about this is the wasted potential. 9 could've had grand scale conflicts, massive sieges, multi-facted warfare and tactical gameplay, but instead it's all about hunting wild animals for materials, doing random sidequests, and then you can grapple hook any enemy base and capture it, then speed out of there. Empires didn't really try that hard either despite not being terrible, especially with just reusing the same siege maps over and over and over. Even if one pushes aside the soft reboot fuckup with new ideas and styles for gameplay that led to tons of cloning and weapon sharing again, pissing away all that potential for barebones pointless open world meme shit is the undeniable sin of that damn game, and a damning testament to the fact that a series should really try to stay in its lane sometimes instead of trying to be what it really isn't.

It’s lore inspired by history, not actual history. The lore is perfectly happy completely changing stuff to be almost the exact opposite of what’s written down in the history books.

For example, Zhou Yu in history is recorded as the first of Sun Quan’s officers to use proper “lord-minister” ceremonial rituals to get everyone to take Sun Quan seriously as a ruler, but the lore is that Zhou Yu was a traitor minister always trying to usurp Sun Quan.

They’re sort of constrained by the problem that Water Margin, like Three Kingdoms, was very loosely inspired by history and there are a few lines that even the most shameless storytellers won’t cross. There was an actual historically recorded bandit leader called Song Jiang (nothing like the fictional character based in him, obviously) who cut a “surrender” deal to join the government, and Water Margin won’t cross the line of changing that fact.
