Wandering Sword is getting a big update in a couple of days, haven't tried the game yet.Is it a good martial arts rpg? Played alot of Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion previously.
Honestly wouldn't mind more martialarts focused rpgs that weren't chinese. Their Wuxia/Cultivaion tend to be a bit incestuous in all using the same concepts in how plots, events and even characters are formed.Wouldn't mind a modern day martial arts adventure in the vein of street fighter or other fightign games settings. Sort of like SF6s World Tour mode if it was a proper fully developed rpg instead of a weird quasi-formed fighter side-mode thing.
>>3642051This is another one hitting its full-release tomorrow.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M6nqF6HTOw
>>3642051It's a pretty good jrpg.The encounters are a mini tactics screen (kinda like Live a Live) which can be done as turn based or real time.and you decide the exact prorgession of abilities and mvoesets.They key feature of the game is interacting with npcs and companions for training/challenging them to not just earn progression points but also equipment, loot and possibly their moves.One could say your progression is gated by whether you can beat NPCs who hoard good manuals/moves to learn. It may give octopath vibes, but it's not exactly the same as path actions.There are secondary mechanic/attributess like crafting, cooking etc, but only crafting has true impact.The story and way it progresses is pretty linear, but the map opens up at times allowing you to explore beyond your weight so to speak.I found it pretty charming, but if I had to point a few issues, it woudl be:a) Some companiosn barley interject and barely have content even in their own 'questb) Story falls off (the second to last act in particular ) excluding the very final encounter, the second to last act in particularc)Not enough side content that is engaging beyond meeting someone and doing one fight (but there are a couple great side questlines).d) Some things are unintutive(companion evenst and recruitment, some martial art books etc) that are hard to get without a guide.e) Easy to break intended progression if you are determined to challenge everyone , get manuals and grind to get them masteredThe DLC they released is great. It replaced the bad act I mentioned before essentially, and has better quest and boss sequence than the main game. And more companion involvement too.If the new update content is similar, it will be fun.
>>3642096>d) Some things are unintutive(companion evenst and recruitment, some martial art books etc) that are hard to get without a guide.This guide seems pretty good at least, only thing its going to lack is obviously any new stuff added in the update.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3038171486
>>3642439Yeah, that is the best one on steam. Chinos go through shit pretty fast, it will cover most new stuff in a few days
>>3642064I liked this post a lot right up until I read SF6, which is capcom jettisoning the company for wokeshit and online transactions essentially.Pretend that no SF exists beyond SF4 and we have a deal.
>>3642096>It's a pretty good jrpg.But, it's Chinese...
>>3642480You can't call it a crpg, that name is already taken
>>3642518why not erpg, if tards are going to use wrpg?
>>3642524I also agree with calling them erotic rpgs
>>3642549eroge is already a thing, or h-rpg.
Jade Empire is still the best, for one reason.
>>3642090That's it out, giving the demo a try. Starting off its notable there is a gimmick of you being able to choose a male or female player character like this was pokemon (most of these kungfu games you just play as a dude, an unknown little shrimp entering the kung fu world for the first time).You also get to choose their background as well, and alot of them are marked NG+ only so it seems like the game has a focus on replayability.After that there's a bunch of stats to put points in and traits to pick.
>>3642051It's great but getting 100% is a bit obtuse. Like the fucking harem ending that requires a lot of balancing to keep all the love points equal
>>3642865>balancingTechnically, if you get maximum flags for all of them, you get it without needing to check who's got more or less.
>>3642051Liked Wandering Sword a lot. Woupd pirate again.
Can you recruit and marry Yaoyao now?>>3642865I got the harem ending on my first run without following any guides.
>>3643561>recruitYes, since the previous Southern update.>marryUnlikely, but you did get a hug in the previous dlc
>>3642838I bought World of Kungfu after playing the demo, been having alot of fun with it and turned out to be well worth the buy especially since its on the cheaper side.Only thing I'm missing is maybe information on its gimmicks/gameplay systems, but haven't ran into anything that snookered me in my ignorance for the first 10 hours
>>3642051I'm about to start this, anything I should know before my first playthrough?Also, should I get it with DLCs right away or play just the base game first?
>>3644550Yes it's very important to kill yourself for being a coward who can't make decisions and fears the unknown when deciding to play a video game.
>>3644550The two big updates vastly change the last two chapters of teh game. Doing two runs or making a save at a ceratin point and reloading is reccomended, but if you feel it's more one and done, do it with the expanded content, not vanilla.A few non-spoilery tips:Active party members decide who enters battle with you, but for story purposes, you can assume everyone is there. No need to dismiss people al,ost ever.Cultivation Methods are your biggest priority. to learn and master. The rest come afterwardsMeridian distribution:Conception>Yang>Penetrating>powergap>Yin>gap>The other 2With 1 exception, there is no downside in gifting people and sparring with them. Do it for everyone you meet, if you can.Hidden weapons are the hardest style to focus relatively, since it's slow to prorgess and get some good unique shit. Sword and Fist are most supported, but Saber is also good and polearm is ok.Only crafting has good AND tangible rewards, so disassemble some equipment and sell some for materials to do some crafting , plus learning from people.Medicine does good stat boosting, but it's easier to consume what you find.If you play on your own, you will miss companions, quests and items. If you can live with that, good. Guides exist, but they spoil shit necessarily to an extent. I'd say do a vanilla ran and then a completions run with the updates, personally.Inheritance points carry over for NG+ for a boost. Do not do a vanilla extreme difficulty run.
>>3644568>non-spoileryThe worst spoiler in a videogame is gameplay advice spoilers, not narrative. You've just spoiled him.
>>3644568How do you start the DLCs?
>>3642051>Hero's Adventure: Road to PassionWho is the best waifu? I like the Tiger Escort fighter girl, or the Herbalist Sect healer lady
>>3642051The game seriously needs more main endings like tale of wuxia, also with more separate companion endings
>>3644988It's pretty much decided by recruiting a specific companion Yia Vang
>>3645102Literally who?
>>3645019>Who is the best waifu?Starter village inn keeper of course.
>>3645019i tried this game and the combat was mind-numbingly easy.
>>3642064I'm still new to the genre enough for it to be fascinating and fresh for me, but also exposed to wuxia early enough for China and its tropes to be what I'm entranced by for years and years.Also I think you're not only advocating for classic kungfu moviesala Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, you're also unironically looking for shounen series like Dragon Ball, Naruto, or Yuyu Hakusho. A lot of shounen not only have martial arts combat(or combat that's heavily choreographed like martial arts), they have things like chi-like energies and blasts of it, and constant focus on training and self-improvement. Even if they're not directly taking from wuxia(DB definitely is), they are taking from greater cultural pool that both stem from.
>>3643561He's just like me
>>3642096>The DLC they released is great.I'm thinking about buying it, but I'm a bit confused about what "the dlc" is supposed to be. I only see some mount pack and soundtrack.
>>3645343Some devs call big content updates 'dlc' even though its not something you buy or download seperatly.
>>3645343It's a free update.Technically downloadable content, but not what most people mean.
>>3642051looks like octopath.
>>3645354To be fair that is what the term DLC used to mean before it was hijacked by greedy corpos.
>>3645354>>3645362Thanks.
>>3645378>To be fair that is what the term DLC used to mean before it was hijacked by greedy corpos.It used to be "expansion packs". DLC wasn't a thing until the mid-2000s and it started with horse armor.
>>3645470Expansion packs and DLCs were too different things.DLC literally stands for downloadable content, and it used to be actual free patches and additional content.Expansions were additional content that was paid but was often times as large as a new game of its own.
>>3645510>Expansion packs and DLCs were too different things.>DLC literally stands for downloadable content, and it used to be actual free patches and additional content.No one ever referred to patches as "DLC". You are speaking anachronistically.>t. was playing games in the 90s before DLC
>>3645512this, dlc was literally coined with xbox marketplace
>>3642051it's kind of boring
>>3645112She's pretty good for her support skills. When you get the relationship up and she's making you free purple-tier food twice a day its useful for gifting, the passive debuff she has for nearby enemies is a neat little gimmick too.
>>3645019I heard this game's translation is MTL-tier, did they ever improve it?
>>3645720Its still a tad jank sounding but it did get improved over time.
>>3642090>Virgin is a Trait
>>3642051The story is super annoying. They have you lose at least a dozen times in post-battle cutscenes. The game even jokes about it, but it still makes for a shitty RPG. To be honest, I can't even forgive even a single such cutscene.
>>3646104Yeah, it gets ridiculous especially in the last chapter and a half.At least actually winning tends to have good rewards
>>3646545Yaoji>Frosty Condor> Yia Vang>Sima Ling>Hong>Yaoyao>Xue
>>3646545>>3646565Both wrong
Oh fuck, what do I do?
>>3646571This decides if you want to do the southern expansion or the vanilla route of events.The expansion is much better content, so if you are one and done guy, do it
>>3646575Well what option enables the expansion then?
>>3646578Give it to her. She is a main character in it
>>3646575Any details on what the newer expansion content entails?
>>3646606Rewrites the final act completely.Happens right after the Southern chronicles (aka, you need to do the previous free update that rewrote the second to last chapter)
>>3642051What's the best weapon type to use?
>>3647216All weapon types get bullshit eventually.Quick evaluation for a fresh game, sword>fist>saber>polearm>>>hidden weapons, but it's mostly for the first 3d of the gameThe full explanation:Best ones for new game are sword and fist . Easier to get manuals and synergy, get some good plot related ones, and you get some good plot related swords without crafting. Sword is a bit better plus more useful ranges for the most part.After that, you go with sabers and polearms (you get mroe companiosn who teach you their shit ealier on, both have good extra range on things).Hidden weapons take a while to come online, since you have gaps on companiosn joining who can give you their shit, so it will be a bit mroe struggle for the first 3d of the game.For a NG+ where you can inherit shit, you can set-up everything. In that regard, some say theoretically, polearms are the most bullshit for the latter half.
For these kung fu games always drift towards fists myself.Like if you are going to practice martial arts why bother with a weapon, If I wanted to use a weapon I'd pack a gun.Just slap everyones shit.
>>3647255Same, there are a thousand other games I could play where I fight with a sword, but not many where I could use fists or staves.
>>3647255Marital arts includes weapons, it's a huge part of wuxia.
>>3647262There's only one weapon that matters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7TCFkdFr6gfor China replace with the crushing failure of the Boxer Rebellion
>>3647218The first companion you get teaches you a staff move that heals the party for 10%. I never even came close to losing a fight with us both spamming healing non stop so I figured staves were the best. IDK, maybe the game is just easy.
>>3646570Lesbian
>>3647282The game is not hard by any means.But if you start on harder difficulties, lack of relevant moves to learn and cultivation methods that boost them can be felt on the early game.Starting on release on hard with secret weapons meant I had to run and do little damage on more challenging fights and only really got on tack after doing Leng Wuking's quest (six knacks is a great cultivation method'.Same for polearms, you only really start to get bullshit when you do the beggar quest lines and recuit there
>>3647267This is wuxia, the weapon is a vehicle for techniques, which are the fun part. Gun techniques are lame.
>>3645375Had the same thought, this is like outright plagiarism.
>>3647914How so?
>>3648004Squeenix invented depth of field
Damn, extreme mode really does turn into absolute bullshit as soon as you start the southern chronicles content. Wish you could do normal mode with the extreme gameplay modifiers instead of those being exclusive to extreme mode.
>>3648039I hope it was not a fresh run.Things get ab it easier if you did the wudang secret test before the second part of southern chronicles
>>3648068No, it's NG+.>the wudang secret testI don't remember what that is.
>>3648069It's the cloudform tai chi quest that opens up when one of the masters teaches you an advanced form and about to start the trip to nanjiang.The steps are the ones belowMax out all wudang related shitTai Chi Swordplay or Tai Chi (fist skill)Infinite Four SymbolsTai Chi Marvel ForceGuiyan Cultivation MethodWudang Cultivation MethodGo to the diagram in the Wudang sect. Trigger the event/boss fightBonus:Have Yan Weihuan recruited and in the party and he will also get upgradesYou get some top tier equipment and a Red cultivation method.
>>3648076Do you need those slotted in or just learned to max level?
>>3648081I think you need at least the attacks slotted, may be all. I think you need just oen attack maxed too. It's been a while since I did the quest, they introduced it with the previous update
>>3648083Are there secrets like that for other schools/weapon types? I prefer the saber.
Fuck you, Condors
>>3648094Not to that extent, no.There are unique moves companions learn from sidequests you can learn from sparring later, like Hongs
2.5D I don't really care about but these games simply lack the polish of SE games unironically. Why play this over Live a Live
>>3648645More standard story progression and different gameplay overall.Or you liked kung fu chapter so much, you try to play more like that.
>>3648645>Why play this over Live a LiveBecause you want to.
>>3648645This game has Live A Live's combat if it was actually half-decent and not glacially slow.
>>3648651Lei Kugo Best Girl.Chosen as the Final Protagonist every single time.
>>3648781I am a sucker for using Kid.The loner has to step up being the oldest and lead
>>3648645Yeah, this Wandering Sword game could really do with more giant robots.Make it G Gundam
>>3642051>Is it good?Does it have typical static menu-flicking turn based combat? If it does, it's gay as fuck. It's literally the one thing that makes gookrpgs insufferable
I'm not convinced that it's even possible to kill this bitch at this point without cheating. Even if I take out all her clones she regenerates HP faster than these two can damage her.
>>3648847Skill issue.t. plays on easy and overlevels hard
>>3648651
>>3648781Based
Anyone knows how to complete the Bodhidharma's Scripture? I got the initial lvl5 one, but I have no idea where to look for the "key" they mentioned in the cutscene, and I don't know if I should proceed, and it'll just show up somewhere, or keep looking.
Trying it right now, so far it's good but there's quite a lot of terms that I just don't know about.
>>3649813ask and ye shall receive.
>>3649835That's a lot of drugs
>>3649857All the drugs I found went to Yi, and I also bothered with maxing alchemy and grinding for mats just to get as many of them as I could.
>>3649862Well, it took all the drugs I could make to soloBai at the end of Nanjiang at extreme. I only accept losing to that faggot later cause he invented the Sutra and could counter it Master Li style
>>3649771In case someone wants to know: It unlocked later on as I progressed with the main quest.
>>3649893Yeah, doing things halfway for characters is my biggest fear
>>3649897Yeah, that's probably my biggest issue with the game. There is a lot of missable content, and a lot of it requires either a guide or randomly running everywhere to check if anything triggers, which isn't much fun.
Any other good martial arts RPGs with harem ending?
>>3650086Tales of Wuxia (has a shoddy english translation for old steam version, recently got an alpha for the full version). One of my favorite gameplay wise.Books of Dragon has an MTL which is meh.A few others have harem ending, but not translated.Path of Wuxia has romance endings but not harem. Mtl->manual->edited translation, they finalize 3d year content
>>3650106>as a shoddy english translation for old steam version, recently got an alpha for the full versiondid it? aren't they just testing the ui and some other elements and the translation is the old one?
>>3650187>Here is a complete English translation containing a combination of everything we've done over the past few days. Latest version of English texts, modified textures, corrected numbering and extended name and surname for the main character. Just unzip it to the game folder, nothing more. It's still not perfect because the full test hasn't been done yet, I know there are still some dialog issues and a few other minor issues, but it's a stable and working version.from 2 weeks ago
>>3650203oh, it's on their discord. of course. thanks for the heads up.
The rapist enemies got renamed to "lecher" at some point.
>>3648847Well, I spent three hours grinding and that made it possible.
>>3650106It's really funny to me that the dude is the least clothed person in this picture.
>>3650317OH COME ON
>>3650334do they allow you to turn off those effects? like depth of field, it looks awful.
>>3642090The English translation is unfinished.Its really good quality but then when you get to the second half you'll get random text boxes that are empty.
>>3650334And got her. Having both Hong and Ling use Qingmu Dance at the start of the battle helps a lot.>>3650337You can disable it in the ini but the environment backgrounds were obviously designed with it being on.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1696440/The_Matchless_Kungfu/How's this in terms of a whooshy chinese punchyman simulator? The sseth video looked fun
>>3650325It ain't about themThey're just accessories to his magnificence.
>>3651767I kinda get that
>>3651767A less beautiful accessory doesn't display his magnificence as well, especially if there's fear of overshadowing, no I think it's simply good ol' Chinese censorship.
>>3651781They would not show them nearly-naked in the first place. It's not a gacha
>>3651870>only gachas can display feminine eroticismI pity you.
>>3651894Non fanservice based games and ones that want to avoid mature ratings usually do not veer beyond a swimsuit or whatever, yes.Not sure why you pity me. I love fanservice. I just know where to expect it.
>>3651925Eroticism isn't fanservice, it's aesthetic. This is why I pity you.
>>3651941You can pretend to be an aesthetics artfag, but the content you want is still not coming on most titles that do not make it their focus or are willing to bump the ratings if it was not already mature.
>>3651770What's this from?
>>3652052Fanart for Tale of Wuxia event kinda happens though
>>3650334have fun, thats the entire Southern Chronicles expansionthen the newest stuff gets even more bullshit
I remember one of these games having amongst the romancable female party members a rugged young miss from the beast hunter clan; red hair, clad in green and wielding a whip.Despite so often all these things using the same concepts never saw another game with anything like her, wish I could remember what game it was.
>>3652822Ji WenLegend of Wulin heroes for original appearance 20 years agoTale of Wuxia (remake of 2016) for more recent one
>>3652005I don't particularly care about this "content". That's why I was laughing at the sensual half-naked man surrounded by clothed women.
This should make things a lot easier.
>>3653291What the fuck you been doing with your meridians to have strengt that low?
>>3653294All in on penetrating and other qi gathering skills. I don't need to hit hard when the enemy barely gets a turn.
>>3653300Isn't Qi Gathering capped at 1000 (1 action per second)?
So I finally bought the game on sale after having it on the wishlist for a while, and I am astounded at these achievements being so low.
>>3653415Pretty sure achievements were actually added 2 weeks ago. You can see they were not on release but planned on the roadmap
>>3653446Nyaruhodo
>>3653446Yeah achievements were part of the new big update.
>>3645019Casino lady, I love the yakuza hard-ass woman type.
Speaking of Hero's Adventure its also getting a content update in November.The announcement they put out mentions specific party members are getting new story content, also adding a "Sworn Brotherhood" mechanic.
>>3653680Has the translation improved?
>>3653685Honestly it was fine when I last played it (which was quite awhile ago). I found the remaining slightly akward foreign flavour of the dialogue somewhat charming.
>>3653312Yeah but what's important is the skills. Taixi, Shencang, Yindu, and Yangquan allow you to get turns faster through their effects.Yongquan, Yinjiao, and Yangfu cripple the enemy, delaying their turns and reducing the actions they can take. And these work in tandem with Mountain Crush which lets you attack multiple times per turn, giving more chances to apply debuffs and further slow the enemy. The Wintry Blow cultivation method being equipped also lets you stack Frost at the same time. And then when you're getting two or more turns for every one the enemy is getting, and you have Yoga Sutras giving you regen per turn, you can then go with Soft Palm Strike and stack other DoTs while dishing out damage.Most of your attack comes from gear and pills anyway, the strength stat isn't that important.
>>3654508Case in point.
>>3654518this combat looks really bad
>>3642064I wanted to make a kenshi-inspired crpg/jrpg hybrid but I couldn't get past making fucking menus
>>3654562You don't actually see combat cause somebody has enabled a setup that is essentially perma CC.Most people do not come close to something as effective
Any Chinese RPGs for this feel?
>>3654652Fallout 3: operation anchorage
>>3654518riveting gameplay
>>3654518when does the other guy get to fight
Whats with the samefagging?
>>3653680I kinda dislike how much content seems gated by whether you can cheat sequences or have inherited a lot of shit
Is it prounced "woo-shoo" or "woo shee-aa"
>>3655692the second is closer, but say it as two syllable, wu-shya
>>3655692Are you trying to pronounce wushu or wuxia?
Does the new content finally make this girl relevant?
>>3656073I think she is reference to a real life fan who did covers of the sot.Or perhaps I confuse her with another npc
>>3656073No.
>>3656073She's too flat to ever be relevant in a Chinese narrative.
Yi is a pretty good protagonist, honestly. He's got the necessary level of being good natured and wanting to meddle but he's also totally fine with killing people when the situation asks for it.
>>3656112Plus a couple options to you to let people die painfully
What the fuck, this is impossible
>>3656163Di Zui regen should keep him alive long enough that you can mop up the rest. And I feel like you miss some characters here
>>3656112he is, but it only comes through in the sidequests and new content. He was pretty shit during the original story
>>3642051>Wandering Swordhow customizable is your fighting style?One reason I don't like tactics jrpgs is that usually you don't get to customize your character much, unless it's a proper fft clone. At least I want to be able to select what weapon the main character uses.
>>3642865>harem ending>there's a harem endingok fine I'll buy your game, chinks
>>3656511Quite customizable.It's not class system dependent, you have to assemble your moveset ( so you pick 4 tiers of attacks based on weapon you actually equip, movement skills and 5 cultivation methods which are buffs/passives).And plenty of attacks and cultivation methods have synergies, either obvious ones (like from the same school) or less obvious ones(like ways to maximize crit chance or stacking various debuffs).Finally, progression system is decided on how you spend points on 7 different linear progression trees (meridians). What you choose to focus first , whether you max one tree first and then the rest or do a balanced approach makes a difference.The reason I do not say extremely is that for the most part, you focus on one weapon. Even if you learn moves from all weapons, you do not really switch in combat and spending points to master them all is not feasible in normal runs. Also, meridians are stat boosts/passives, not active skills (but that is covered by the martial arts moveset you assemble)
>>3656220Di Zui got killed before he even got to his third turn. Frosty Condor isn't there because she got OHKO'd. Just look at Yang Liutu's stats.
>>3656520nice, as long as I get to pick my weapon I'm happy enough.
>>3656521I know, I have done this fight before and the one following it if you did everything possible is even worse (it's not needed to win that one but gives you endgame equipment)
>>3656527>I have done this fight beforeOn extreme? Because right now I don't even have any way to make Yi stronger, I have every possible cultivation method offered by all NPCs up to this point and they're all maxed out along with all of his skills, and I have all the best gear possible on all the characters at this point too. And I'm struggling to even beat the fight leading up to the fight with Liutu, let alone beating him with stats that ridiculously inflated. You can't even use food buffs to make it any easier because it's the third fight in a row.
SoI have this "1 year aniversary pack" in the inventoryit's basically a bunch of cheat items isn't it?Should I not use them? I don't want to make the game too easy.
>>3656821Decent stat boosters and accessory.Only make a difference in a fresh game first few hours in.
>>3656823ok, so I shouldn't worry about accidentally breaking the game by using them, good to know.
>>3642064
>>3656074So she's basically a backer cameo character then.
>>3658267Without the backing, yes
I should have used mods or save editing to raise the skills.Fuck fishing, uesless ass shit
>>3642051>Is it a good martial arts rpg? Played alot of Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion previously.yes it's very well done, road to passion is much more unique and in my opinion a tier above, but if you like classic jrpgs then maybe you will feel otherwise
>>3652822>>3652834Had experienced Legends of Wulin Heroes through an LP I read so many years ago. Screenshot & Text LPs really fell out of vogue with the advance of streaming.
>>3659823I am the guy you can thank for suggesting they use Captain Haddock swears on that LP instead of simpson quotes/insults. Not sure why the translator insisted on meme localization for some of the dialogue over explaining references, but sure
Is it true Wandering Sword is going to get a third/final big content update at some point? Saw some people talking about the possibility, the things they were pointing at as evidence could have been grasping at straws.
>>3660025It just did?
>>3660060That was the second update.
>>3660025this was the dev roadmap they've been going by for the last year, and they've released everything on it
>>3660076I guess technically the Future slot could be anything, but that is wait-and-see.
I wish one of them chinks made a xianxia/wuxia/xuanhuan/cultivation game where you get a proper character creator instead of being stuck with generic cultivator protagonist who always has a ponytail for some reason
>>3643566What chara can you marry now with the new dlc?
>>3660232Shanguan as a side piece, but you lose Xiaotong
>>3660025Probably will release at the same time as consoles version
>>3660235I liked X ending but getting S's one is a nice bonus
>>3642090Is this just a straight copy of wandering sword, or are all games of this genre the same? Only every played wandering sword, but saw the yin-yang sword cross in the trailer, along with the movement squares and it seems like the exact same game with different art.
>>3660339>>3642064Chinese love to copy shit all the time. They do not have a concept of copyright so even if there is one on the west, they see it as strange. That is why all games are just copies of each other. This is also why there are chinese knock-offs of everything. From clothes, to drinks, to food, to games obviously.
>>3652005>t. faggot coping
>>3660342I love it because it means the chinese games I like all have a bunch of different flavored clones I will like as well
>>3660350That took you two whoel fucking weeks?
>>3660425Why did you ignore the first reply but responded to this one?
>>3660076Anon, the last update was litterally the expansion of the main story, only FUTURE is missing
>>3660698I know, thats why I said they've released everything on it
>>3660750Right, my bad
Loved the game to bits, but I still missed a couple high end recipes for cooking and forging and some of the legacy items and some manuals still locked in inheritance.I wonder if some manuals are locked behind bad/suboptimal decisions, like giving up companions or doing the violence path in Southern chronichles.
>>3660753some manuals are locked behind preventable plot deaths or even the old Nanjiang and endgame chaptersfor example, getting the bad end to the Southern Chronicles campaign results in Ye Fei defending Xungu Pass instead of Bai Weiyi, who then dies but you get a sword manual from it
>>3660762I did play the vanilla routes last year.The latter is a bummer, but I guess I could do a run for the last act and ignore every sidequest for the trainwrecklike not helping Di Zui or solving the murders, that's fewer hours than a fresh run .
I just started playing yesterday, pretty fun so farThe open world means I end up in a lot of unwinnable fights and have to reload a lot. I guess you can cheese the progression by grinding duels?
>>3660775Grinding happens mostly with overworld enemies (for money, ingredients and martial points).Duels can let you get lots of items, recipes and even some manuals but they break the game when you are strong enough to beat masters and consult them for endgame martial arts.I'd advice against it in a fresh run
>>3660425believe it or not, different people do read threads and respond to old posts on slow boards
>>3660777Yeah I'm trying to avoid doing anything too game-breaking or following guides too much. I can generally accept some failures and reloading. It's a little frustrating though that there seems to be no indication whether a quest can be done right now or not.For example this Earthshaking Dragon gigachad in some cave is a relatively early quest, but even when I went there with Mowen and Moqi in my party along with a decently levelled Hong and Bai Jin he beat our asses.
>>3660422No, the clones usually suck. Just look at what happened when Bruce Lee died.
>>3660784enemy name color changes based on a rough estimation of how strong they are compared to youwhite > green > yellow > red, with red being the strongestits not an absolute gauge of power and who you should or shouldn't fight, but it helps when you aren't fully familiar with the game and what your own power is
>>3660835Technicallygrey>white > green > yellow > red.Grey when you are far above them
>>3660775Here is something for you anon. Get that crafting going so that when you get those high level blueprints, you can make the super high level stuff. Materials are so easy to farm too and gear can make even the worse character decent without having to fill up their skill tree. Now, more than anything else. Please, PLEASE, look up a guide to see the companion shit. Some of that stuff is so fucking retarded. With you missing a single dialogue causing you to be unable to recruit someone which then later gives you a shittier ending because that character was important in the next part of the story.
>>3660777>Duels can let you get lots of items, recipes and even some manuals but they break the game when you are strong enough to beat masters and consult them for endgame martial arts.But that's the literal main mechanic of the game. You're supposed to duel people to get good recipes and manuals.
>>3660908Sure, but if you grind and climb the duel ladder to the point you beat supreme masters while you are a rookie disciple, you kinda lost the plot IMO
>>3660917You talking about rookie story wise, or power level wise? You can only gift people 1 level higher then you, so you still have to do some of the story to gain access to people/abilities to raise your power level enough to even duel the supreme masters.
>>3660897The companion stuff was the one thing I was looking up a guide for, I didn't want to miss out on characters girls because I didn't talk to some obscure NPC before X event happens.As for crafting, I just made my first Class V sword and I can see why it's important. The main thing was realizing I can disassemble all the crap items I've accumulated into useful parts. Also finding a vendor who sells Coal.
>>3660938I am sadden that the current steam guide spoils everything. Even though you could totally make a guide that spoils a lot less if one put effort into it. This is not even mentioning their sin of daring to say who best girl is.
>>3660966>Cries about an in-depth character recruitment guide revealing informationAre you stupid anon.
>>3661963I think he wishes for a non spoiler guide (there is one for the first few characters)
So Road to Passion went on sale. How does it compare to the Wandering Sword? Is the DLC worth it?
>>3662160It kinda incentivizes replaying over and over for different events in the sandbox world.Wandering hero is closer to a standard jrpg, road to passion at times feels like chink wuxia simulator + roguelike+way of the samurai. Also, much jankier (if existent) translation
>>3662160Yeah, I've played hundreds of hours in it, alot of fun.Its pretty easy to get overpowered (particularly on NG+ if you use all the stuff you unlock) but there's still alot of stuff to enjoy.They are going to add more content again soon going by their announcements.
>>3662160>>3662171Also, gets portrait update tomorrow
>>3662171I liked way of the samurai quite a lot, so that's a plus. How long is a standard playthrough? And what's that about missing translation?>>3662176>>3662177Is it better to wait then or is the game pretty "complete" right now? Is the DLC like an extension after you complete the game, or is it better to have it from the get go?
>>3662181The game is entirely complete, has been for a long time. Content updates are just adding more stuff for you to do during a particular playthrough.You'll be playing through the game multiple times if you stick with it experiencing different things.The one actual paid dlc they put out for the main game (not that sect side-game thing) is basically a different way to play through the game as the 'bad guys' as well as a new female party member to recruit/romance with her own major storyline to follow.
>>3662177Honestly I prefer the cartoony looking old art that is closer to the sprites. Glad its just an option they are adding to the game rather than a replacement.
>>3662186Thanks. I decided to buy it and that dlc. Anything to keep in mind going into it that maybe the lacking translation doesn't explain well?
>>3662216>>3662181The translation is fine for Passion to play the game, its just a little pingpong sounding in its wording rather than natural flowing english. There's some dialogue-based quiz puzzles which probably only makes sense in Chinese but there's a guide on Steam for those.
>>3662160It does not. They are different type of games. People kept shitting on wandering hero because they wanted yet another copy pasted sandbox that is all the games on the genre. Since wandering hero was not that, they got angry. Road to passion is that. Take that how you will.
>>3651670Janky as fuck with a terrible translation. the english version ends up with more bugs than the chink version. Very not the 1.0 they have named it. Still damned good fun in spite of all that.> sseth videoAhh, so that is why subhuman normalfags have been all over it for some reason.
Wait, did Wandering Sword's collection skill ever get updated to actually do anything? There were a couple skills that were completely useless, last I played.
>>3662561iirc all it does is make you use less stamina when using them
>archive at 96 %>one legacy locked>couple manuals not inheritable due to being tied to missing companions, rewards come many hours laterI am not a completionist usually, but it annoys me when it naturally came so close
Well I didn't read the character recruitment guide closely enough and I'm now locked out of a character it says is "plot-critical" for the update storylines. Am I just going to miss out on dialogue or is the entire questline fucked? It's this guy.
>>3663180I think you cannot do the extended storyline at the endgame and you are railroaded to the original vanilla act.
>>3663181All right time to redo 6 hours of the game I guess
>>3642051Is this Fucking game Shit because it's Chinese!?
>>3663189Depends, are you allergic to a game taking shit like Buddhism, taoism and such seriously and throwing terms like Dantian, meridians, wuxu-muxu etc?
>>3663191NTA but when a story is pushing ancient chinese medicine as a real and legitimate thing it is pretty clown shoes.Its as retarded as the four humors.
>>3663269I agree if it's in a modern setting and they do shit science cannot.In a wuxia game where people throw chi dragons around, I do not care.
>>3663296Yeah modern stuff is just an excuse to go full-out on the barely veiled cultural posturing and why other countries and their silly modern technology are shit compared to your ancient ways, you see it alot in japanese martial arts series as well.
>>3663296What about something like Shadowrun?
>>3663323Went to complete fucking shit in later Editions.
>>3663269>crying about le medicine where people are able to move faster than the eye can see by doing push-ups everydayRetard
>>3663554Go drink your mercury faggot.
>>3663561I already do mercury mukbang challange every day.
I didn't care about wuxia/chinaslop until Aura Clash let me basically play an anime in a text based game. Now I'm chasing that high in Jade Empire and hopefully this next; I wish they melded chinese and japanese in the same world too though. It was a nice touch.
Well, that was a surprise.I did an extreme+modifiers run to unlock some manuals in the vanilla route and get more inheritance points.And instead of the standard endgame sequence, I got a new Wudand duo ending where the game acknowledged me beating Weiming and Mowen did not go nuts so the hero meeting, xuanhao battles and final boss never happen. Was the ending there always and I failed to trigger the conditions, or was it added with one of the two updates? Either way, pelasant surprise
>>3663719How did you beat this shit? I'm just stuck now >>3656163
>>3663743Being ng+, I had manuals to forcefeed Frosty and Di Zui and upgrade their arts and meridians. He tanked a lot of shit while my squad killed everyone else. Not to mention my Character being essentially endgame ready alreadyIn my first run, which was fist based, at that point I could most of the field with Dragon Subduing palm(Li and Yun event at Autumnscape mountain in the same region ). Using cultivation methods that heal and clean debuffs helps a lot. Or using a lightness skill to spread your forces so he can only hit one guy. But you need to kill the mobs fast.
>>3663269This is no different than a medieval fantasy RPG with alchemy that actually works, like Darklands. It's fantasy based on history.
Alright /v/ros, a week ago I finished the game on extreme with a perfect endings. I kind of want to replay the game on extreme with all the additional difficulty modifiers and the jade dragon legacy but I don't know if I have it in me. Should I try or not?
Wow! This game is really rated Fucking highly on Steam, and the recent ratings are even higher than overall ratings!Does this game really have any nocks against it at all or is it just completely solid?
>>3663864If you skip the dialogue for things you have seen and know what to gather/collect plus inhertitance points, it gets fast(just did a 22 hour run where I still wasted time on things) Jade Dragon Legacy is also broken. You could try going the vanilla path to see the differences or get the bad endings to all quests and stick with a few companions only>>3663874It's a 7-8/10 game without criticl bugs during it's history and free support for content. People who like Wuxia games tend to leave good reviews unless they really shit the bed. So its solid at least
>>3663874For me, the biggest issue is that you either use a guide, check and recheck every location regularly just to see if anything triggers, or you'll miss a lot of stuff. I'd prefer to be more of a choice and given some solid info in-game, rather than this semi-random way.
>>3663959>check and recheck every location regularly just to see if anything triggers,There are still minor quests/rewards I missed because I did not check the whole location over and over or not getting the one minor sidequest NPC affection to 80 (music monk)
Ah yes, time for a new run to enjoy the challenge all over.
>>3663959You are a zoomer retard. Checking if there is any content is how you play a game. It is exploration.Spoonfeeding retards like you through ingame popups was the worst thing to happen to gaming.
>>3663979Ah yes, spending hours backtracking in a chink game is what I want to spend my limited free time on. This ain't exploration, because it's just revisiting places/actions you've seen/done before, and 95% of the time you don't discover anything new.
>>3663998>I want to spend my limited free time onSo you spend your limited free time reading guides and talking about games instead. Very smart.
>>3663998Yea, because it is a free time. I have nowhere to rush. And I take my time with the game.
>>3642051I'd give it a 7/10. That'd be higher if you weren't hard locked into the one sect because of the very linear story.
>>3643892I was enjoying that, then ran into a bug which meant I couldn't get to the western regions on my playthrough. Went back 10 hours, got the same bug. Day ruined.
>>3642051>three>THREE>THREE(3) whodunnit events where you just walk from person to person and hope the dialogue changesWhat were they thinking.
>>3664258I managed to complete the game but did encounter an infinite loading bug which kicked in when you joined a particular faction, other people have mentioned it and still not been fixed. Also there's alot of blank text boxes in the english translation later on.Buncha cunts.
>>3664280Skill issue
Noticed there's now achievements in Hero's Adventure for getting sworn brotherhood with various amounts of characters with the final being 40, wasn't even aware there was that many party members in the game.(Do like how achievements are done in the game that they have a practical use, in unlocking various things for NG+)
>>3663874Listen. People who hate these type of games are never going to buy it, therefore, will never leave a review. This is why steam rates mean nothing. You see, an example are visual novels. They are all overwhelmingly positive because everyone that buys them is not going to leave a negative review unless it is the literal worse thing on earth. Everyone else just ignores it.
This game looks cool. I like Chinese folklore and love reading unlike most gamers these days. Will give it a try.
>>3664616Why would I be interested in the opinions of someone who obviously hates the genre?Yeah I prefer reading a review of fellow autistic weebs not fucking IGN.Its not easy but the best thing you can do is find a reviewer or content maker who has broadly the same interests as you do. I discovered RPgamer for example.
Have any of you paid respects to the classics and played this? it just recently released as a whole in 1 zip, the translation was done long ago but only just found ithttps://cdromance.org/windows/the-legend-of-sword-and-fairy-english-patched-v3-3-windows-pc/
>>3663719that was added with the newest expansion
Any martial art rpg where ryona is inherent by its mechanics and characters is a good one for me.
>>3664685Pretty cool.It was annoying in the last run how I beat his ass and he still went 'nothing personel kid'.
>>3664622The chinese whacha rpg videogames are a step above their folklore and light novels at least.
>>3656163I'm not sure if the current patch that's still in Chinese made this any easier, but I finally beat the fuckers. The fight with Kama afterwards was a breeze, actually.
>>3664903It was mostly bugs.You ma have gotten a few lucky crits.In my first southern chronicles run where I chose to do a certain fight solo, I won a fight cause the 15% chance to act again meridian bonus worked 3 times in a row
I don't see anything in this guy's buff or skill descriptions that explains why hitting him will randomly cause me to eat 4000 damage.
>>3664942It's eithera)Tai chi family of artsb)Governing meridian ultimate is a unconditional reflectc)His robe you get it if you win, has an auto reflectI hope you have Yan in your party
>>3664942Is this the fight in the cave where you need to win against everyone? He has... the thing. Once per turn, when hit, he will deal damage in an area.
>>3664901Sounds like you read only trash.
>>3642051I love this game like you wouldn't belive, it actually made me start buying games again, I mostly enjoyed the bare handed martial arts skill, I already played Hero's Adventure Road to Passion and it was pretty cool, is there any other rpg that has this cool looking fist fighting skills
>>3665203I don't believe you.
>>3664948Turns out it's not actually any of those, I just didn't read his cultivation method clearly enough. Any time his tai chi swordplay is on cooldown it means he'll automatically hit you with it as a counter any time you attack him from within two squares. So all you can do is use lightness skills when available to try and trigger it once and then get a second turn in before he does, although sometimes it triggers multiple times a turn anyway which it shouldn't be able to do.
>>3665381So it is Tai chi shit.You get it too when you win
What exactly is a Martial Arts RPG? Is it like everyone has abilities and moves kind of like Sabin did in FFVI?
>>3665393I did eventually beat him, definitely the hardest and probably the most gimmicky fight so far though.I only just got the Yoga Arcanum but now I don't have the slots to use it anymore.
>>3665399I did find room for it in the saber build run, but sword and fist have some very good specific bullshitAnd lategame almost always has wind and cloud slotted
>>3665399theres a few worse fights in the newest contentthe 5v1 against your own party members is probably the worst
>>3665403Even with the new expansion,solo Bai and the super five balances sutra battle were worse.
>>3665403
>>3665405I'll give you that first one even though I've had it go smoothly more often than not, but the other one wasn't noticeably bad because of my party also being strong
>>3665408It certainly went a bit better in the 2nd NG+_ run than the first one, but it can still go extremely south depending on who Bai decides to target first. And you really need to prep the whole team to cleanse debuffs
Does anyone have a good guide for this Fucking game?
>>3665416https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K_qPs8IH-relSXdUx7U4BIklrW0UjtWc8cRg-7b_x4I/edit?gid=0#gid=0https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3038171486There will be details missing for new expansion
>>3665419When will a guide covering the new expansion be out? Is that a DLC add on or something?
>>3665421theres a chinese guide that you can google translate but really all of the new content is straightforward, as long as you aren't completely ignoring the characters and where they tell you to gotheres no new recruitable characters to miss, but there are people who will die if you don't do certain things or have missed some charactersfor example the Herbal Saint is needed to prevent a good 4-5 plot deaths
>>366542199% of the content in the expansion that is not obligatory is pointed to you with flashing neon signs.Half of the things you miss depend on what you did in previous content (mostly the content of the previous expansion).There is not much exploration or weird condition left so just play it.
>>3665203Tale of Immortal maybe?
>>3665403That is the best fight, what do you mean?
>>3665725all 5 of them were completely maxed out with tier 1/2 gear so it was the hardest fight in the game for me
How do you make Yuwen Yi strong? He is so weak! I can only barely get to expert and have to rely on my companions for many fights! What am I doing wrong?
>>3665900a) Spar with everyone, beat whoever you can. Martial points stack up, they give materials, recipes pills and manuals and even godo equipment at times. b) Consult whoever you can for cultivation methods. companions included. You can spar to get back your giftsc) Raise cultivation methods first, raise moves at least till they get secondary effsd)Pay attention at what the meridians actually boost. Left side is better to invest firste) Go to all the forests and caves.Clean up the oens that have mobs yo ucan beat and gather materials. Even if you cannot beat the mobs, you can open most of the chests that tend to have manuals and suchf)Although best saved for later, even early on you can see a difference from eating pill and crafting items
>>3665910>Although best saved for laterDo they scale somehow? I thought it didn't matter when you consume them.
>>3665944Mostly for the crafting
Would you say this is worth full price, or wait for the next Steam sale?
>>3666225Isn't the next big sale like tomorrow?
>>3666226I don't think this game has ever been more than like 10-15% on sale, so might as well just buy it if you want it.
>>3666231I don't think waiting one day is gonna hurt.
>>3666317It's not on sale today.
>>3665900He is weak. Now, before someone else comes with the cope. The protag is weak. He has shit base stats. Yes, you can dump pills, spar, learn, etc... But the problem is that you can do the same for everyone else too. The only benefit he has is being able to learn everything which is does not help to make him better. This is separate from saying that you can not make him the strongest. You can. But you can do the same for everyone else too. Protag base stats are shit. This was already brought up to the devs and even they agreed with it and said they were planning on buffing him.
>>3666676Yes it is.
>>3666703Are you butthurt about it
>>3666703>which is does not help to make him better. This is exactly what makes him better than everyone else.Consulting and setting combos nobody else can and maxing out meridians faster than anyone.Even in a new game plus, where you could waste a fuckton of point to get everything as manuals so companions can approximate some combos and get a fuckton of meridians, he will still have a few unique ones and max them out faster.Not sure what buffing him would help with. Early game on a fresh extreme run? Seems pointless
>>3666714No. I beat the game and it was easy. The only real fight is this one >>3665403>>3666717Not really needed and also not the point. The point is that he does have worse stats while being the protag and people, including the devs, feel like giving him a boost to demonstrate the "main character" status. Nothing to do with difficulty.
>>3666778The only dev statement I have seen in the matter is that they deliberately wanted Yuwen at the start to be weak and needing companions while he grows on his journey.Was it a chinese only post or something?And again, the point is that beyond raw stats, he will outpace everyone soon because of things only he can do, as a privilege of being the MC already. So buffing base stats for the sake of MC status is still pointless
You should consider the anniversary pack a Fucking buff for the MC! If you give him the anniversary pack buffs, everything Fucking balances out!
>>3642051This is basically the best Martial Arts RPG that was ever made, isn't it?
>>3667071It's not my favorite wuxia game, but as far as standard RPG structure goes, it's either this as a JRPG or Hotuloshu as open world
>>3667089What is your favorite game, anon?
>>3667354Tale of Wuxia. It's not like there are no issues, but the feeling of actually getting stronger, uncovering stories and events and combat mechanics are just great.Tons of replayability and enough extra routes to diverge
>>3667362I just wish the wuxia genre was not plagued by events that you have no way of knowing unless you look up a guide otherwise you miss them. I don't want to walk all over the place all the time just to check if something new is there.
>>3667068Is the Anniversary packs something thats included into the game instead of being some seperate dlc, what does it consist of?
>>3642051>theonly xianxia game that actually feels like a xianxia is a pixelshit roguelike isaac cloneLife is a sea of suffering.
>>3667437Yes, it's just in a chest to the left of Jiang's house when you start the game.
>>3667468>>3667437I meant yes as in it is base game, not a separate dlc.
>>3667430I don't even mind that, I just wish they didn't all look like mid 2000's browser games
>>3667461>roguelike isaac clone??????
>>3667509It's a bot.
>>3667509It's so shit but it's so close to being good.
>>3667512Just so you know, Binding of Isaac isn't a roguelike.
>>3667520It's ok to hold objectively wrong opinions.
>>3667512Holy flash game. Madness combat is competing against this for this year's newgrounds award?
>>3667522
>>3667522It's not okay, anon, when you use objectively wrong definitions you create confusion in your communication, which is why another anon questioned you. Roguelites are any game about meta progression and permadeath, roguelikes are turn based RPGs with permadeath.
>>3667525>>3667528It's ok.
>>3667537I accept your implicit concession and hope you learn to openly admit fault in the future and grow as a man.
>>3667528>RoguelitesZoomer cringe
>>3667544>t. lost to zoomers
>>3667544Binding of Isaac is millennial cringe, through and through.
which of these should I get in the steam sale?Tale of WuxiaHero's AdventureWorld of Kungfuany other recommendations?
>>3667815Hero's adventure is superior to the other two games
>>3667815Not world of Kung Fu. Incomplete translation and buggy.Tale of Wuxia is more raising sim and seeing your results occasionally in missions and then climax when the world opens up while Hero's adventure is open world rpg almost sandbox. Tale of Wuxia has a janky ass translation for an old version of the game (but there is an alpa for a translation that covers the final chinese beta version with all the content), Hero's adventure is also janky and will need guides for puzzles and hsit but you can understand most of it to wander around
In Hero's Adventure, can I, and if so, how, change the order of External Skills I have equipped? I can't find it, and google doesn't help.

>>3667849Fate Seeker 2 MS release is different from steam, yes. Has an engl translation and gamepad support. Not sure how a publisher picks it up just for Xbox of all things
>>3667848Before I buy the game, do you know what is the process for applying the patch proper in Tale of Wuxia? I assume there is a branch different from the 'official' english release and it's applied there?
>>3667892copy pasting the latest update from discordhttps://www.mediafire.com/file/6xbfud0yn3re7ul/Full+English+Translation+0.1.zip/fileHere is a complete English translation containing a combination of everything we've done over the past few days. Latest version of English texts, modified textures, corrected numbering and extended name and surname for the main character.Just unzip it to the game folder, nothing more.It's still not perfect because the full test hasn't been done yet, I know there are still some dialog issues and a few other minor issues, but it's a stable and working version.
>>3667900When installing the game right click it's properties in the steam menu and select the simplified chinese as the lang then follow the steps above
>>3667904>>3667900So they did not rip extra assets to backport to english version, just text over simplified chinese.Got it.
>>3667821>>3667826>>3667848thanks guys, went with Hero's Adventureany recommended workshop mods? I grabbed the questions guide one but everything else is in chinese
>>3667848>>3667849there's a lot of just shit games
I bought Hero's Adventure but its kinda shit
>>3668232gottem
>>3668232Yeah especially if you go from playing Wandering Sword to Hero's Adventure. Wandering Sword is easily the best Martial Arts RPG ever made and frankly nothing else is close.
>>3668356>Wandering Sword is easily the best Martial Arts RPG ever madeThis is an extremely low bar.
>>3668232Yes. It is. And as >>3668356 said. Playing it after finishing wandering sword just makes the game feel even more shit. Also... gottem.
WTF? I tried to consult a really good cultivate a skill from this dude and shit MotherFucker attacked me! Why would he attack me when I had really good affinity with him!?
>>3668676Red skills require you to beat them. In case you technically reach a tier below them and throw gifts but cannot win a spar
>>3668677>>3668676Not just red, but the rarer ones in general
>>3668232Same, bro.
Kek why is everyone always afraid of being sent to Liushan school? What do they do to the people there? Is it like a harsh like a Boarding School?
>>3668858Liushan are the Cops/stooges of the imperial court. So you are sent to prison, essentially
>>3668866Is there like a cheatsheet or something for the different factions? This game really could use like an encyclopedia in game for stuff like that. It's just assumed we know what Liushan is for example.
Which era in China is this kind of set in? I am only familiar with the Three Kingdoms era.
>>3669102Ming Dynasty period,
So with almost all the Chinese rpgs on sale right now which ones would you recommend overall for someone new to the setting? Wandering Sword?
>>3669206It's the safest choice with serviceable translation, not as many obscure mechanics and not much knowledge needed for lore/setting
I don't know how to get into this game.
>>3669461good
>>3669478Alright guess I'll refund it lol
>>3670040see >>3669478
>>3670040Everyone check out this nigger! He has eyes but can not see Mount Tai! I bet he doesn't even have a single jade beauty either!
>>3670759You are courting death
>>3670759Junior's a frog in a well. This Daddy points and laughs at him.
Why are people always laughing during serious moments in this game? Like when that dude is explaining the dark history of his families technique to Chen Linxi and then at the end he is like He he. What is up with that?
>>3670919They laugh so they don't cough up blood.
>>3670923That and they don't know whether to laugh or cry and they choose laugh.
>>3670919It is like this anon.
>>3669139So is this era considered like the peak era for Martial Arts? Like a lot of techniques and knowledge was lost forever from this era?
>>3671011It's the peak era for gigacoping chinks to cry about "muh lost martial arts" and pretend the majority of them weren't basically dances with partners disguised as fighting styles, yes.Much like how the fall of Rome is the peak for western gigacopers to cry about lost knowledge of other kinds.
>>3671011no song is considered peaker
>>3671011Its fantasy anon, only the most mindbroken of individual thinks any of the overblown stuff was real.Like that retarded tai chi master that fought an MMA dude because he pointed out the facts of the matter, only for the old fool to get pasted in seconds to the point the chinese government had to punish the MMA guy to save face.
>>3671091I'd like to see an MMA fighter take on a real Chinese warrior circa 900 AD, he'd just chop his head off right quick because he's trained to kill and not play a sport.
>>3671105That's not even a retort.A>real chinese warrior circa 900ADarmed with a sword is not a martial arts fighter, the comparitive to the modern day would be the man with the sword getting shot by a modern day soldiers armed with an AR like this was the scene in Indiana Jones.
>>3671112It's indeed not a retort.>Martial arts fighterAnon, martial arts is about the art of fighting, what does "martial" mean, of course it includes weapons.. MMA is just as much a show as chinks doing "martial art" street performances under Qing rule.
>>3671112Actually (Chinese) man with sword getting shot by modern soldier was the Boxer Rebellion. Went really badly for the "Real Chinese Warriors".
>>3671116Anon, those weren't real chinese warriors, they were rebelling cultists and retards that had been under occupation for 400 years. Holy shit you guys are ignorant.
>>3671114No, the guy doing MMA is more a sports man than a military combatant but if put into a defence situation then someone trained in MMA fighting is going to be able to handle himself alot better than regular people or ones doing performative nonsense that has a long history and think somehow the weight of that history will save them in a fight.If you start bringing weapons into the discussion then it will simply drift into the fact modern day >>> ancient history because modern weapons and warfare are so much better than that of our forebears it isn't even a comparison.Your comparison would be better trying to compare them to the Professional Wrestling seen in WWE, which is ACTUALLY for show and alot of the moves require coordination between the two musclebound showmen
>>3671118>NoTrueScotsmanAre you an actual chinaman who thinks superpowers seen in wuxia or cultivarion media was real at some point? This is a sincere question.
>>3671121The point is that someone trained to kill with hand to hand combat, yes hand to hand includes weapons, is much more deadly than any of these people who play sports or exercise or posture, whether tai chi or whatever. MMA is a betting sport and highly controlled and has a litany of banned moves because they don't want permanent injuries. No doubt it's good against common people or people trained in other sports, but it's still just a sport, an act, rather than something like Pencak Silat, designed to kill.
>>3671125Nope, I'm just stating facts. I hate chinks and know the history of martial arts in China is mostly about street performances after the Qing completely cucked them.
What's the best point in the story to start the expansion side content?
>>3671151To get the absolute most out of it>get the golden scorpion quest and recruit Gu Sigui as fast as you want/can(you can do it poretty early but will be hard if you are not on NG+)>Actually travel from the Marsh to the oposite side AFTER mount windfall and beggar sect trouble to do the first part of new southern chronicles>after that, do main quest proper in the western lands then the badlands questline (normally, that is where you have recruited every possible companion)>second part of southern chronicles now replaces the old version of the main quest in Wuxian territorry>Finishing it also leads you by default to the content of the last expansionThis assumes you recruit every companion possible(a few of them are plot critical to get the best outcomes). I'm not sure who can be skipped if at all to access the latest expansion.If you want to do the old vanilla version of the last couple acts, never do the golden scorpion quests
>>3671151>>3671162The optimal time to start is when you reach the point in the main story where you get the quest to become a martial disciple (don't complete it until you're done with the quest chain)Make sure you've recruited as many companions as you can by then, a lot of them are important to get the best ending
>>3671162>>3671170Thank you for the quick reply. I am at the beggar sect section right now and coincidentally ran into the scorpion questline, hence why I asked. I'll hold off on pursuing it further until a bit later for now then.
>>3671162>>get the golden scorpion quest and recruit Gu Sigui as fast as you want/can(you can do it poretty early but will be hard if you are not on NG+)This is wrong actually, you want to delay going to Pili School as long as possible because if you do it right away you miss events and triggers caused by having party members you don't get until later like Wei.
>>3671228Read carefully.>recruit gu SiguiThis can be done extremely early in a new game plus (the filter is the scorpion battle and the battle in the forest)>>Actually travel from the Marsh to the opposite side AFTER mount windfall and beggar sect trouble to do the first part of new southern chroniclesSo you go to Pili school(cross to the other side part) after you get Leng, Yaunxing and Weighuan.An extra cheese this method enables is you can have Sigui self reflect and create tons of martial point manuals for you since you never need to develop him
This game is kind of Fucked up. The MC is supposed to be this moral Martial Artist doing good, but he is running constantly beating the crap out of people like it's his Fucking job! He literally beats people up and takes their shit. Then like a cruel game of smear the queer back in the day, he forces them to accept gifts so he can again beat the everloving shit out of them and take them back! You will even often see the NPS pleading and begging for mercy saying the MC is too strong, no more! He's wandering into these backwater villages and using Martial Arts moves and techniques on them that they have never in their life seen and will likely never see again.
>>3671328>literally beating up kids and stealing their candy>"This is... my Dao!"
>>3671328>using Martial Arts moves and techniques on them that they have never in their life seen and will likely never see again.See, that's a plus. He's literally giving them a chance to see the pinnacle of martial arts. They couldn't have asked for a better gift. Inspired by him, drives of kids in the future will grow in the heroic martial art culture aiming to bring about a new golden age through the power of friendship and physical combat.
>>3671116Guys with guns are also martial artists though. Martial arts simply means "means of war (Mars)". It doesn't mean punching.
>>3671384Martial arts required years of training. It was art.When guns were introduced you could give a musket to a farmer and train him for a few months and that's how you got the conscription armies of the Napoleonic era.
>>3671384Most autistic post I've ever seen
Extreme 3.1x is brutal when you only get stuff from legacy and for Yu.I'm stuck at Sima Ling affinity mission where she has to fight that one guy solo on the Gusu dock.He heals so much and deals 1k dmg per hit, she can't tank it. Ideas? For how long can I postpone this?
>>3674237There is no real time limit for that personal quest.That is why you make sure to inherit a couple manuals like Yoga sutra and Golden Cocoon.Raising her meridians (with oills or upgrading cultivation methods, feed her manuals for martial points) can make a huge difference (like 15% chance of acting again, boosting your own heals, chance of erasing his WT bar with a critical) can all make a huge difference (and her having 1000 Qi gathering of course).I imagine she already has the best equipment possible, but see if you can craft something better already since many people only botehr when they have tier III or better recipesI
>>3674248Yeah, I don't think it's doable atm (before becoming senior disciple), I think I got every available cultivation manual up to this point and that's not enough meridians to get her the neccessary perks. Will see how long I can ignore this quest for, probably until main quest gets me to the inn at Gusu lol.On the flipside the green girl fight with Quingmu sect leader was laughably easy, I just needed to hand her the Whale Slayer and got it first try, I can only imagine if I picked saber legacy this fight would be a no brainer as well.
Why is the Beggar's Sect head so weak? You get 1k martial points with every spar, and I'm beating his ass like it's my job!
>>3676409Cause the real head quit and they chased the super talented guy away
No! We can't have the thread for the best RPG in the last couple of years fall off!
>>3679191which thread?
>>3679191It will be 2 months soon. We had some discussions, update was good. Let it go
>>3663269More gay than ancient chinese medicine is the obsession with the power of feng shui
>>3679191theres only so much you can discuss with a single player game, even a good one
Question regarding the final fight:If you hella level up Mowen with Cultivations and Meridians and moves, does it make him stronger in the last fight? Or are his stats independent of what you do with Mowen when he is a companion?
>>3679487100% independent
>>3645019>>3645116Put hours and hours into this game. The combat is either kill the enemy in one shot or get killed in one shot. Nothing in between. I love the world and characters but the combat is very dull. Also the quests are very repetitive.
Hepcats! This game is Fucking on sale on Steam now!GO! GO! GO!
>>3679685pirate the clean steam files and use goldberg emuevery game is free
>>3679663Before doing NG+ runs , I had to cheat quite a few battles above my weight by doing essentially stunlocks. Also, doing splash damage for reflect enemies. But due to open world nature with only world map icon enemies scaling, you can essentially avoid any hard fight after the first couple hours till the endgame
Man there is no other Martial Arts RPG or CRPG that is even close to this.Are there anything in like early access or development coming down the pike, or maybe not translated?
>>3682729I have lots of upcoming chinkrpgs but most of them don't have a release date and this is probably the closesthttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2331340/Tales_of_Three_Kingdoms_The_Mortal_World/
So why is everyone pissed with year 3 of the Chinksona? Sure it was rushed, but it wasn't that bad.Also, any recs for 3d games?
>>3684714I assume you mean path of wuxia?It's generally rushed conclusion, not dealing with half of the expected villains and rivalries established, too much shit happening offscreen and arcane requiremenst to get some events/achievements.Plus, support for the game dropped like a hot potato due to issues and their later games were kinda ass
>>3684721Yeah, I can see that, shame about dropped support, the game could really use a lot more of it. I did enjoy it quite a bit though, even parts of the third year. The claw guy conclusion was really good on pacifist path.>later games were kinda assWhich ones? I'll take it as a negative rec
>>3684738古龙风云录..While it technically has higher production values and solid mechanics, the world, plot, questlines and characters are kinda bland apparentlyAs in, a downgrade from 河洛群俠傳 (Ho Tu Lo Shu )
i don't think early access will ever work for the chinese because they don't take any real pride in their work, they work to get paid. so paying them upfront is counterproductive, they are always going to get lazy.
>>3684790Yeah, this game with the level of post release support it got is more of an exception, it feels like
I like hero's adventure mc more than wandering sword's
I actually bought this game after pirating it I liked it that much. Still have it on my seedbox though for everyone who doesn't want to spend money.
>>3642051It's been 2 months. Was the update any good?
>>3685488Yes, very much so. It's the best part of the game now.
>>3685488Yes! The Devs really Fucking love their fans! I bought the Mount pack just to give them additional support because we got 2 really Based updates out of this game.
>>3687869Dial it back, shill.
>>3685488It's good but the new hard difficulty is utterly retarded at various points, feels like they didn't playtest it at all.
>>3647255The true gameplay is cultivating patiently until you no diff the game. If you just act like a bandit you will always be a bum
Docs on Wandering Sword and Hero's Adventurehttps://youtu.be/fgSLAxMIuIkhttps://youtu.be/v7nKoT0VP-EAlso been playing Wushu Chronicles and now I see where wandering got it's beating up npcs to lifelong companions
Sword is WAY overpowered in this Fucking game! Can we get a nerf please?
>>3689168Jian is the weapon of a true gentleman. Fuck you.
>>3684714Rushed content to wrap things up, while the whole year content is great but they add lots of character without proper introduction like blind dude with go pieces, the ending is beautiful if you decide to redeem the boss then again i'm not yet playing their last update that add new endings
>>3689168Technically, fist has the best stunlock in the game to trivialize encounters for the last 3d.And if we consider legacies, staff/spear and Bai's kit are the most broken.Honestly, the only weapon that needed a bit more love early on and a legacy are hidden weapons/projectiles
>>3689188There was an update? When?
>>3689394Not sure what he is talking about, since last bugfix was 2 years go exactly
What if everyone's favorite Fist build?
>>3689528Solo Arts I remember being extremely good:>thunderous palm strike.Chance for Qi Deprivation with the right meridians means chance for stunlock>pure yang fingerGood range, chance for Qi deprivation AND healing. Let me win duels far above my weight early>TongbeiquanGives 6% dodge just by having it when entering combat>Great Vajrapani FistDecent damage and gives you barriers. Has a unique move variant too>Proud Dragon RepentsOne of my favorite unique. Range, power, pushback and extra damage debuff. I think Thousand hand plam strike is the one that increases evasion a lot (by 20%)As far as combos with Cultivation methods go:>Frosty Palm Very good stun you can trigger frequently with cultivation method>Tai ChiYou can deal passively 2k+ damage on people with reflects from cultivation, and Taiji stacks they use debuff enemeis and increase your damage. A good approach for solo boss encounters.>condor movesIf you run Condor in your party and you give her fists instead of hidden weapons, using both together for stacking bleeds and getting the benefits is good. Some enemies clear debuffs a lot and I am not that big a fan of their cultivation method but something to consider.If you unlock legacies, Bai Weiyi's kit is bonkersIn my last legendary run, I mostly threw nine Yang fingers early on, then a Tai Chi focused build with Proud Dragon Repents for massive AoE.I have seen people swear on poison builds, but not a fan
>>3689548This is some good information! Thank you compadre!
>>3688570>Wushu ChroniclesHow is it? Some dude made english translation so I might try it
>>3693868completed a playthrough and it plays like the 2nd half of tale of wuxia where your dropped into an open world and it's up to you climb your power level to the top, feels like a single player MMO where overpowered npcs are freely able to be challenged anytime and like wandering sword main way of raising stats is collecting internal skills and you make lifelong friend with npcs by beatiing them up>here the 1 guy on youtube that makes guides for ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V3A4A7KanU
>>3693878>2nd half of tale of wuxiasounds good>feels like a single player MMOyeah, that's what I gathered from player impressionsI'll check it out, thanks man
>>3642051I’m ready to give this a try, but how’s the story and dialogue?
>>3694500they're in there
>>3694501what you mean!
>>3689301I'm really hoping if they do make the supposed expansion about he Xuanhuo cult that they had a bunch of new hidden weapon techniques. Trying to plan a build around it tough since you're so limited comparatively.
