WE ARE SO ACK (for now)
They should have remade 6 insteadI get 3 is the famous one everyone has nostalgia for but this remake will be worse than it in every way. Meanwhile 6 was a great game only ruined by the stupid button mashing renbu shitalso it had the best character designs in the entire franchise
>>540297724>I eat guys like you for breakfast!
>Origins DLC in January>Nioh 3 in February>going back home in March2026 is redeemed.
>>540297724A couple months ago I played RottK 8 remastered and it was very enjoyble and I was marrying all the cuties but the AI can't follow history at all. No matter what startdate I picked, I would hit events for the first couple years and then nothing would happen, the warlords wouldn't attack each other according to history so the events would never trigger.
>>540297724Let's start making Fan theories: what that teaser at the end was?https://youtu.be/CPBxiZlyk0o?t=51
>>540300320>also it had the best character designs in the entire franchisethat was 4also 6 cloned and gutted too many movesets
Anyone got any good fan art of Liu Shan I do prefer him over his dad
>>540301349Gan Ning
>>540301947that's what I mean thoughOverhaul the game so the characters have their old movesets/weapons instead of the mash square 1000 times to fill up the renbu meter so slightly different animations happen when you mash square bullshit
>>540297724We back?
>>540301349Samurai Warriors remaster incoming
>>5403080731 holds up really well thoughever.
>>540297724>develop a remake>call it a remasterWhat did Koei mean by this?More importantly, since it's a remake, can we expect Origins mechanics in it?WO3U get the same treatment?
>>540308202Sure, but it'd be nice to get it on a modern system. I don't have my PS2 anymore. >>540308357Call it a remaster and any improvement is enough. Saying REMAKE and you're kind of beholding to at least make it look as good as origin.
>>540308357It's the same thing they did with NG2 Black, though probably without the cut content and hopefully without the awful performance
>>540309551I forgot that even came out
>>540301947I always wanted 4s weapon system back. I liked each character having a distinct weapon unique to them that you leveled. I like later games, but have always been lukewarm towards the Weapons with Random Attributes thing.
Ive always been a DW fan but i want to try Samurai Warriors. Ive heard Samurai Warriors 4 is better than 5, is that true? I dont need my game "modernized".
>>540315216>Ive heard Samurai Warriors 4 is better than 5, is that true?Yes. They released on PC a while back too. It is quite good.
>>540315216Yeah, 4 is solid. You want base 4. That Setsuna or whatever game is pretty different. Orochi 3 is really great if you have the urge as well.
>>540316107>That SetsunaSpirit of Sanada. There was also a 4-2 which I can't comment on but I guess it's like an Xtreme Legends and of course we have Empires which is also goo.
>>540315216Spirit of Sanada is the best version of 4, sans the nerfed Hyper attacks. Ignore 4-II at all costs.
>>540315658>>540316107>>540316943Neat. I only have a ps4 atm (my pc died and im waiting till black friday) but base SW4 is only $30 (SW5 is free but its artstyle is pretty offputting)
>>540317250PC 4, as far as I understand, is basically just the base game plus the DLC included. I'm not even sure if there were any graphical adjustments. But yeah 4's very good.
DW3 had the best outfits.
I spent like 90 hours in SW4 and what's left is the endless chronicle mode (like 73% biography and 65% bond). I want to give up but the achievement.
>>540323173I can't believe I used to max out all of these games. Even when they had less huge roasters it was still a lot of stuff. Now I mostly just settle for capping off my favorites.
is sw4 dx the best multiplayer game on steam? ive tried a few orrochi and dw titles and the netplay is fucking ass. i havent played dw3 since like 2002 but god damn i played all summer with a fren. i cant recall the stage but you had to basically lose all your morale and allies began to flee before you had to fight back to unlock a certain item. hard as fuck. good times.
>>540325608Whenever I try to play it online there are a couple stages that go fine but then we'll get to a stage that crashes in co-op at a specific point every time. I don't think they ever fixed it
I'm curious of what changes are going to be made. I'm especially curious of the Xtreme Legends content, cause Tomohiko Sho himself is actually a bit mixed on XL, since he only worked on the base game contenthttps://x.com/koeilau/status/1807611861812351198https://x.com/koeilau/status/1807612614501175403https://x.com/koeilau/status/1807613518386172355
I'm glad for you DWbros. You're getting a big remake. Not to mention the other things you're getting (another Warriors Abyss update and a DW Origins big DLC). But me personally I'm here for Nioh 3.Anyway, I guess that whole Amazon listing that provided Nioh 3's story synopsis being about you being Tokugawa Iemitsu fighting your younger brother is true. He apparently wants to be shogun and kills everyone in the present era, so you go back in time to stop him. Anyway, here are some cool character renders.Here is the antagonist, your brother, Tokugawa Tadanaga, who wants to be shogun and apparently makes a pact with a demon to gain power.
>>540327172Here's another major character, Himiko. According to Team Ninja's website: >"An ancient queen said to possess mystical powers.>She became the ruler of Yamatai Kingdom, succeeding the war-driven male king.>Born with a natural talent for Kido, a form of sorcery, she is said to have guided her people.>Her name appears in the "Gishi Wajinden", a section of the Chinese historical text *Records of the Three Kingdoms*, though much about her origins remains shrouded in mystery."
>>540327475Here is old Hanzo. He's the reason the player character knows ninja techniques.
>>540327653Here's MY WIFE FUKU. YES, THAT FUKU. SHE CANONICALLY BECOMES THE PLAYER'S WETNURSE. GODDAMN SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AS AN OLDER WOMAN. IMAGINE SUCKING ON HER TIDDIES.
>>540327172>But me personally I'm here for Nioh 3.I still got to finish 2. I'm nearish to the end but either keep futzing with my build or need to put it down for a while then come back and forgot how to play
>>540327832OK, now that I've calmed down a bit, here's our beloved Takeda Shingen. Judging by today's trailer, he won't actually be using his war fan in battle. He'll instead be using a greatspear like his Samurai Warriors 5 counterpart. Sadly, it also seems like he's only going to be in the game for the first chapter. Though obviously knowing Nioh games, we're gonna fight him a million times in endgame in the game's Abyss or Underworld equivalent.
>>540328046Here's Minamoto No Yoritomo. One of the recent gameplay videos made it pretty obvious we were going back to the Heian era, and this trailer pretty much confirms it 100%. Yoshitsune is also in the game, and his render is identical to his Nioh 2 render. Can't wait to meet him again. Also, based on dialogue in a recent gameplay clip, we're also meeting Shizuka Gozen, who is Yoshitsune's mistress.
>>540328335Here's Munenori Yagyu. Not much to say, but I've always liked this guy in Sengoku era manga. His Fate/Samurai Remnant rendition in particular was very cool. He's probably our swordsmanship tutor in game.
>>540328616And of course, here's the protagonist. This is who we play. Tokugawa Takechiyo (aka Tokugawa Iemitsu). From Team Ninja's website:>The grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who founded the Edo Shogunate.>As the heir apparent, he was given the childhood name Takechiyo, the same as Ieyasu. However, from a young age, he could see guardian spirits and spent his time drawing them, leading many within the household to believe that his talented younger brother, Kunimatsu, would become the next shogun.>At one point, Ieyasu, who had become the Ōgosho clarified the order of seniority and declared that Takechiyo was the rightful successor.Personally, I was hoping his "canon" outfit would be flashier like how William's and Hide's canon outfits were flashy and cool. I like what I see, but it's kind of plain. I get it. He's the shogun-to-be, so he's not going to have something wild and cool like Hide's canon Night Raider armor from Nioh 2 that makes him look like a barbarian, but I still wish we got something more stylized.
>>540329005A little something from the trailer. Don't know who this is, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was Shizuka Gozen.
One last little gush, because goddamn she looks as beautiful as ever.
I need to retrain my brain on what DW3 actually plays like after using the aggressive AI and quality of life mods for dozens of hours
>>540328046Supposedly, Shingen used a lot of body doubles and the exact nature of his death is extremely vague.
Why do the character animations for the DW3 remaster look stiff? It simply looks like Omega Force completely overhauled the graphics, textures and overall visuals but left the character animation skeletons intact. As a result, we're going from DW Origins having some incredibly high quality and dynamic character animations and returning to the 24-year-old stiff animations of early Omega Force in DW3.
>>540339725That's why it's called a REMASTER and not a REMAKE. RETARD.
>>540340593Be that as it may, they should have still touched up the animations. Because, let's be honest, early Omega Force animations were extremely rough, even by early PS2 era standards. When you put DW3's animations side by side with what other Japanese 3D action game companies were releasing at the time of DW3's release in 2001 (like Devil May Cry 1, Onimusha 1 and Tekken 4), DW3's animations still looked terrible in comparison. I hope this doesn't backfire on Omega Force. Because if the animations were truly 100% untouched, then I reckon a lot of consumers who aren't into musou games and Omega Force by default will be critical of the animation, and will definitely compare it to the superior animation of DW Origins' DLC (which comes out 2 months before DW3 Remastered) and the superior animation of Age of Imprisonment (which comes out in November later this year).
>>540343716It's Dynasty Warriors. People are gonna be critical of it regardless. This is for the fans.
>>540343716as long as they dont do genuinely dumb shit like try to make this a full $50-70 people would be more forgiving towards a cheap remaster. Hell, if a miracle happens and they reveal that its actually remasters of 3-5 in one batch for $60 they've basically freed themselves from criticism from most normal people who would see the value of 3 games before the actual quality of the remasters.
>>540345718Honestly I was just sort of expecting them to take the old game as is and just up the resolution
>>540331101DW3 is pretty playable without any QoL mod. I can even deal with aim locking because it's a two way street where the enemy AI would whiff their attack too.I wouldn't play DW3 without auto disk-swapping mod though. Having to do disc swap every time when launching the game is ass.
>>540339725I suspect because the remaster is doing the same thing as Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, where it's using the exact same code and animations as the original title, and using Unreal to render the visuals
>>540301349Ziluan unlockable secret character
>>540348523DW3 has too much jank to justify leaving the game completely untouched. no sub-general location on map, horse too slow, aim lock, Lu Bu's C6 missing enemies standing closely in front of you, C5 follow up attack randomly auto aiming an enemy behind you
>>540300987it's a shame the attack/defend balance is so fucked because I like whats there mostly. Maybe they should give some random AI autoresolve bonus or something
>>540350698Even if they're lazy and just give him the Origins sword moveset, that moveset is going to be OP by DW3 standards.
>>540354580There's definitely room to add QoL. One of the underrated aspects of Origins was how well it streamlined and delivered the flow of battlefield information. In older titles, it was often just a stream of dialogue and text boxes. At its worst, it was a barrage of useless information that didn't inform how the battle was going.Origins brought a lot of QoL to this aspect, showing where active engagements were happening, showing what directions enemies and allies were moving towards, leaving officer kill and defeat quotes out of the dialogue boxes so they don't clog it up. It's all stuff that gives the player clear and concise information about the battlefield, and I'm hoping the remaster implements some of these.
>>540361812Yeah, one of the things that blew me away with the Origins demo when I first tried it was how fucking well the GUI gave me an overview of the overall battle situation. Even showing officer life bars in the pause menu or when they complain of being overwhelmed is a massive improvement.
>>540361812Also being able to slow down time with the sacred bird to let the dialogue play out was a great idea, basically eliminates the little battle lag that was left
yeah that's cool and all but where's my Bladestorm sequel?
>>540376523After Samurai 3z
What would be good new historical times and places for a new Warrior series? We already got 3 kingdoms China and 3 great unifiers Japan.
>>540385957I'm honestly surprised they haven't done the Boshin war.
I am cautisously optimistic
>>540386071I think I pretty the guy who might be playable in that in live a live.
>>540297724So is the 3 remake going to bring back the old combat like it was in 3? Or will it have the new combat where you kill 50 enemies per combo? Honestly haven't really liked any of the DW since 6 because of the new combat.
>>540400325Ryoma Sakamoto, yes
Bring back Toukiden, Wild Hearts sucked
Historically, who was the most evil playable character in Shu ?
>>540420858Yes
Dynasty Warriors 8 extreme Legends Wu Assault on Xuchang I just finally got around to beat in it today on my switch 2 and what exactly happened at the end?I mean I understand that Cao Cao chose to die and died like Nobunaga but what exactly happened to China afterwards?
>>540424559Sun Quan dissolves the Han (which at that point was just a puppet of Cao Cao), then establishes a new system where all three kingdoms coexist peacefully, although Wu sits a little bit above the other two. Liu Bei temporarily objects to the Han disappearing but ultimately is too busy banging SSX to care. Cao Pi succeeds Cao Cao as the ruler of Wei. I got the impression Cao Cao killed himself because he knew he was the person most likely to ruin the system that Sun Quan was about to set up.
>>540425525fug I finished reading Sangokushi and I really want to play DW8 again.
>>540425525That kind of portrayal is ironic because that’s basically the exact sort of coexistence compromise that historical Cao Pi offered to Sun Quan only for Sun Quan to renege almost right after Cao Pi finished bestowing all the honors and enthroning Sun Quan as a king.Coexistence wouldn’t have been a “new” system at all, that’s how it worked (or more accurately, didn’t work) during Eastern Zhou.
>>540420858Zhang Fei is a pedo but probably fa zheng and ma chao
I remember I found out there was a three kingdoms novel that goes kinda like the DW8 Shu what if but I forgot the name. It had a silly name like the upside-down three kingdoms or something like that.Too bad it was all in chinese lol.
>>540428374nevermind I found it. Seems like my kind of novel shusisters :)
three kingdoms if good.
>>540429136Eh go buy a raincoat
Anyone got any good fanfiction for people who Cao Cao?
>>540436875The campaign in AOE2
>>540436875Cao Cao sat up on his throne and in deep thought he pondered alone Of sagely advice and ancient wisdomand the means to fill grand ambitionand to bring all of china under his visionand on that day he would raise his flag he'd stop and declare Liu Bei's a fag
>>540428364Zhang Fei was not a pedo, he was a righteous man who did the honorable thing to do in that situation
>AI confirmed to get nerfedOwari da...
>>540300812which game has your favorite Hu Lao Gate?
>>540440320Unordered within tiers>Best36Origins>Good258>Meh47>DW99
>>540440320I'd really have to replay a lot of the older ones but I can say with full certainty 3 is my favorite He Fei castle.
>>540440964Honestly, I would even put 7 below 9, cause there was a certain point where I completely forgot 7 even had its own Hulao map and Mandela Effect myself into thinking that it just reused 6's map
>>540454128Easiest way to tell a 7 original from a 6 map is that the latter has some thought and design behind it along with obvious base locations while 7 originals are usually just corridors that don't feel like they were designed as battlefields
If they don't retain all original costumes, dialogue, movesets, stages, items, difficulty, ai behavior, and aesthetics I'm not fucking buying it.
>>540439606Why would they even do 3 then? If they wanted more troops with dumber AI then they should've just done 5
>>540325089>Now I mostly just settle for capping off my favorites.Pretty much. No point maxing out characters that you're never going to touch ever again after you've maxed them out. At most I'll get everyone's ultimate weapon for the challenge of it.
>>540462881>At most I'll get everyone's ultimate weapon for the challenge of it.Yeah, that takes way less time and you can make up a lot of difference with getting items. Plus it's actually a fun challenge and not a grind

>>540476487>>540475221How did Dong Bai get so popular?
>>540427937For whatever reason, since DW6, Wu has always had some form of 'coexistence' route.>Lu Xun's story in 6Only Liu Bei and Zhang Fei die at Yiling, and only Cao Cao and Sima Yi die at Hefei Castle. Sun Quan becomes emperor of a new dynasty, and Lu Xun becomes his prime minister, but they have dudes like Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao, and even Cao Pi, willingly working for them. The new imperial army consists of troops from all three kingdoms, still wearing their original colours.>Wu's ending in 7Sun Quan kills Zhang Liao then defeats Cao Pi, but allows Cao Pi to go free if he doesn't bother Wu again. >Wu's ending in NextSun Quan somehow convinces Liu Bei and Cao Cao to surrender to him after defeating them, and they work for him in his new dynasty.
>Origins sequel just casually confirmed in the TGS Q&Akek koei are so odd, in the same answer they basically said dynasty warriors would be dead if wasn't for origins selling well, and then they casually confirm a sequel is planned with no fanfare or annoucement
>>540483535She didn't.
>>540484618I imagine they're working on it, but don't have anything else to say or show. Plus advertising Origins 2 now would distract from the DLC that's still in development.

Weird how Origins dlc is scheduled for January and there is no info for it but we have a trailer for a game releasing in March.
>>540503698We got a little more info at TGS, Sho said it'd be almost all hypothetical story content and there's more than just Zhang Jiao's route
I need a musou game to play until Dw3 comes out. I have 7, 8, 9, 9E, Origins, WO3U, WO4U, SW4, SW4 Spirit of Sanada, SW5, Bladestorm: Nightmare, SW4-II, SW4E, DW8E. I have so many and I'm struggling to choose one.
>>540506640play 4 hyper
>>540506640Samurai 4. Speaking of was Spirit of Sanada any good?
>>540507712I got my copy as a review copy back when it came out, so I didn't pay for it. But I really enjoyed it. I like the smaller structure and the condensed narrative around a single group of characters. I kind of wish Omega Force would do that more.
>>540508223Yeah I keep hearing the story focus was really good
I heard Samurai 4-2 is crap. Why is that?
>>540504206So if I were to speculate:>Zhang Jiao route>Lu Bu route>Diaochan route where she doesn't disappear after chapter 2>Extra stuff for Cao/Sun/Liu
>Rebels start a revolt because of widespread famine and political bullshit >Coalition stamps then down and then immediately starts fighting each other >Famine is still unresolved
>>540525808My sources tell me it's an exceptionally bad time to be a peasant during the fall of the empire.

>>540528407
>>540300812where can I find those maps for dw3xl. I started playing it along with dw4/xl/empires, dw5/xl/empires and sw1/2/xl/empires. Ive been thinking about those maps since I used to have them printed with spots marked for dim sum and other stuff on them. anything like that for dw4/5/xl.I still play dw6 once in awhile on the ps2 but its the only version I have access to, I also play warriors orichi 1&2 and the 2 gundam warrior games. good times for that. and bonus I have been playing rotk1,rotk2,rotk3, for msdos and rotk4 for psx/ps1 and rotk7-11. rotk1 has some sweet features and ive always enjoyed rotk2 and 3 was fun to reget into again. rotk4 is better than I remember it being on the psx/ps1, as I havent got around to setting up a virtual windows to run the windows 16 bit version (that version was sweet af and I wanna play that version at some point again). rotk6 is good but I dislike it started the whole cant go into exile as thats part of how I play. but than again I gave up on conquering china and turned it more into factions and allies and playing as max players to do things easier, exile is part of that sometimes when I dont want to do the surrender thing. also been using multiplayer setups to setup battle grounds on maps and forces battle for the small regions picked and other festive fun like blocking forces in and watching them fight it out while you keep them contained. cao cao in 208 is great for that kind of fun. and I no longer play like the more recent games with the whole locked to land, in rotk 1-4 you can move freely province to province. that's turned it into roaming kingdoms and armies and alliances and some used as merc kingdoms and stuff. and than I have the villains and victims roles and other festivities.
>>540519484i thought 4-2 fixed a lot of issues but i cant remember now
>>540385957Still waiting on the musou and strategy games covering the bandit kings of ancient china. playing the msdos version and it could have a whole series with it and than time into dw/sw/wo/else in those crossovers. tons of cool characters during it and its almost never mentioned. the msdos version is solid and I think? there's an nes version.
Huh there are a lot of mods for the ps2 games, what are some of the coolest for a replay?
>>540532278https://kongming.net/dw3/maps/Doesn't seem like they exist for the other games, they're scanned from the Japanese strategy guide
>>540533212like? model swaps and stuff or like they merged dw5 empires with xl?
>>540533212I have no idea how to use mods on pcsx2
I almost forgot Shu didn't get a girl to call their own until DW4. Gonna be odd to have them return to their sausagefest roots.
>>540535061Wei wasn't exactly swimming in women either.
>>540533212Higher AI Level (not Aggressive AI) is good for a reasonable difficulty bump without feeling like you have to cheese to win now. If you want to see maps get weird and break, throw on the ones for army advance + gates being able to respawn officers + gates never closing.
>>540535061Reminder that Wei was so evil that they registered all their women so that they could force the unmarried ones to marry and force the widowed ones to remarry.
>>540535736Wei has Zhenji, and the two Qiaos.
>>540536991>the two QiaosCao Cao will never get his hands on them

So I bought Wo Long on PC and want to go for a 100% run. While it was installing I was looking around and found my old musou image folder including the first victory I ever got in Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires on my first ever character. So I decided to remake him in Wo Long. DW8E meant a lot to me, it was the first Musou I ever bought, was my first Empires game, and was the game that really got me into /eagg/ back in the day.
>>540549794Cool stuff anon, I hope you like Wo Long. It's a pretty good action game, a bit lacking in the level design and enemy department but the general gameplay is well made and very enjoyable.
>>540549794That's nice. I haven't played Lo wong. Kind of forgot it even came out actually. I've been playing since DW2 but always good to here when people come around to the series,
>>540550196I actually got every achievement in the base game back my Series X when it came out on game pass. It's one of my all time favorite games desu, I'm not a souls fan really, but Three Kingdoms is my favorite setting so I'll play just about anything set in it. >>540550331I really started with DW8XLCE on PC, but it was a joke gift from a friend because I was talking shit about how dumb I thought Dynasty Warriors games were. He gifted it to me and dared me to play for 1 hour. I ended up liking it so much that I stopped being a NEET and went to college and got a degree in Late Han history with an emphasis on the Three Kingdoms era. So I got owned I guess.
>>540550932well that outta learn ya
Does anyone have the edit of this picture that says "when I don't mention I started Dynasty Warriors with 3 in every discussion" lol
>>540560306sorry, the edit of THIS picture
>>540536340army advance? I know of the neverclosing but dont have that code. I have a codebreaker 10 I use and would love more codes like that for dw3/xl up to dw5xl/empires and all the other musou games.>>540533458awesome thanks anon. this will help as I rebuild some of the characters since its a fresh save.
soon the battleground will be setup. a bit of force adjustments and movements to set things up. fun times ahead and with glorious duel graphics.
>>540566989
>>540300812Heh, I have that at home already
>>540345781DW Hyper could've been their best game if it had included all expansions
>>540536340>army advance + gates being able to respawn officers + gates never closingIs there a video example of this cluster fuck?
>>540571398I suspect depending how this goes we might see yearly "remasters." Between Dynasty and Samurai they'd have enough complete editions to last them a while. S2 complete would be my dream. Or maybe finally playing 3z.
Dang, did 9 really fuck up that bad?

>>540549794Some quick tips:1. Blocking in this game is quite good. You're better off blocking most hits in an enemy combo and only deflecting the last hit instead of mashing deflect and losing half your spirit gauge. In fact, against most enemies, you don't really have to deflect anything except the big red attacks that are unblockable. 2. Buffs and debuffs are insanely strong. They can even cancel out status effects, depending on what element you're using and what status effect you have on you. Speaking of which...3. The element system (pic related) is one of the best aspects of the game. Memorize pic related. You can do some really creative things with it. For example, if an enemy is shooting at you with a fire ball (fire phase), you can cover yourself in a water mist (water phase) and have the fire ball completely nullified. If an enemy has ground electric shockwaves (wood phase), you can cover the ground around you in toxic sludge (metal phase) so that you don't have to dodge or deflect those moves. 4. Morale makes all the difference. Be sure to find as many flags in a level as possible before tackling the level boss.
So what exactly do the bases in DW5 do? Cause those were supposed to be the big gameplay defining feature of 5 that added variation to the stages, to the point that they were slightly randomized on each playthrough. However whenever I see footage of 5, I barely seem to notice what effects the bases have on the AI and the overall flow of battle.
>>540581218Defence bases slow down opposing officers, making it easier for allied officers to intercept them. The other two only really affect the player.
>>540584108If we ever get to the point of a DW5 remaster, I think it would be worth improving the base system so it would have greater effect on the overall battle.
>>540581218Stat farming spots. Only supply bases matter gameplay wise
>>540574961They scrapped DW10 and salvaged assets for DWO
>>540586096>>540581218>>540584571Oh right, I forgot that supply bases can buff morale, but it happens so rarely.The main problem with bases in 5 is that they don't swap sides or respawn like they do in Empires or 6, so they stop mattering after 10~15 minutes of battle.
>>540584571Here's some ideas I have in this regard.Attack base: send raiding parties against enemy officers and basesDefense base: send escort groups to ally officers and basesSupply base: injured officers will occasionally retreat to supply base to heal up.
>>540575014Done
>>540533212DW4 Hyper on PCWho needs aggresive AI mods when the 2x troop count on screen accomplishes the same goal anyway.
It can't be overstated how badly DW9 utilizes its own soundtrack. How can you have a track as amazing as Phoenix Run and yet, I can't even remember where it played in the whole gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iq_UwtyIR8
>>5406060499 has some of the best music in the series but in-game you only ever hear the first 30 seconds of most tracks
>>540606049I just couldn't even motivate myself to finish the Yellow Turban Rebellion. And yet dumb me bought it on launch because I thought "Open World China sounds like a neat idea, how badly could they fuck it up"
>>540575014I what Cao Ren.
>>540574961>DW was ACTUALLY going to die in my lifetime>still no Orochi EmpiresKoei, come the fuck on now.
>>540627127>>still no Orochi EmpiresIt feels so obvious and I want it so much
