10 days until the Dynasty Warriors Origins expansion>Which hypothetical route will you do first?>Been playing any musou games recently?>Are you optimistic, worried or "wait and see" in regards to the DW3 Remaster?
>>730666035I just bought this. Been coasting pretty smooth on hard until this first big battle with the Yellow Turbans where you get the gauntlets. Feels like it kicked up in difficulty pretty substantially.I also think I missed it in the beginning tutorials, but they demonstrated how I could switch to Guan Yu and fight for a bit. How do I do that again? Do I ever get to switch characters in general?
>>730666035You just reminded me that I own this game
It's gotta be the yellow turban route. I wonder, don't Chinese people get mad and throw a fit over stuff like this? It seems like the kind of thing they would get mad over.
>>730666035Why is this so grey? Where are the colours?
>>730666539You are a complete pussy.
>>730666035Holy shit i forgot about this game
>>730666598Dynasty Warriors games used to look fun. This one looks dull.
>>730666375you can switch to your companion after they've built up the meter for it. It'll flash with a prompt when its ready. You cant play for while stages as other characters, you just get a selection of companions depending on the stage (or you can pick any for battle replays from the inn).
>>730666375You don't get a companion until Chapter 2, and only for certain major battles (so you can't have Guan Yu as a wingmen for the generic skirmishes against bandits or whatever).
>>730666035don't think I'll bother with it desu
>>730666035Why are they releasing everything i want to play so close to each other?
>>730666898I think they meant it when they said they had no plans for a DLC before origins released, but since it sold so well they quickly decided to make one, thus taking a full year to do.They will probably be hoping that "dynasty warriors" name being in the gaming media in general will also help the DW3:R release.
>>730666713>>730666802Lack of controlling other characters is pretty wild for a musou title. Pretty fun so far though.Unfortunately I'm probably going to drop the difficulty for this big battle. Goes well until the large forces clash, then four named generals just come and slap my shit
>>730666035I'd be more interested in DWO if the player character was a CaC.
dem worryers b nasty
>>730667754The balancing is so bad in the game. Enemy generals either die in 3 hits or they take 15 minutes of non-stop walloping.
>>730667754make sure and do the smaller skirmishes you see around the world map, they're helpful for levelling up between story battles.
>>730667754>>730668836It also doesn't help that you don't unlock any good crowd control tools until after Chapter 1. The three weapons you have at that point aren't great at crowd control, and having a Musou Rage in your pocket for when things go to shit makes large forces a lot easier to deal with.
>>730666035>not empiresguess I'm still waiting for a new musou to buy
>>730668860They seem to endlessly respawn, rather than being finite.Idk if I'm up for grinding 45 second maps to get stronger for a big skirmish. Doesn't feel very musou to me, dawg
>>730670228They'll probably make a sequel to this and then make an Empires game with the content from both>>730671079You don't really have to grind them, just do the ones that are in your way when you're going to the next objective to get some weapon proficiency early on. I mostly ignored them later in the game
>>730671079there's multiple types ranging from quick to basically being full battle stages in all but name.
>>730671079>>730671341Character levels are tied to weapon proficiency, so even if you're just going to use the sword for the whole game it's worthwhile to try the other weapons in skirmishes for easy additional levels. Plus when other characters start giving you training missions, you can do those as well for more skill points.
>>730671079you need to do the skirmishes to raise that regions peace level, doing so unlocks items/rewards etc. If you want all 50 bodyguards, you're gonna have to do the skirmishes to get them.
>>730671776Skirmishes barely count towards peace outside of Liang province
>>730671776>>730671938Yeah, you're better off playing through all three routes if you want to raise peace quickly, since story battles have a much bigger effect.
will there be a zhang fei pozzing guan yu's neghole scene? will be so based and progressive
>>730666035wake me up when samurai warriors 6 gets released
>>730672251brother... I...
>>730672251sorry Guan Yu only has eyes for ziluan
>>730672292 Based on how long they're taking with these remakes and side projects, we’ll probably be in retirement homes before SW6 drops. At this point I’d even settle for a SW5 Empires just to get my fix.
>>730672292>>730676167It feels like Koei forgot about SW5 after it was released.
>>730677668It wasn't a big seller. I think I remember something about it doing about 300k in its release month. Origins did over a million in its release month.
>>730677668It was origins-lite in the worst way. Cutting characters and having movesets be slightly more barebones in favor of storytelling like SoS but they weren't at that level.
