Downloaded a 3rd time and its corrupt again.
My ps3 froze playing Sleeping Dogs while it was DLing in background. But I was downloading the Bulletstorm trial too for something to play while I wait and it downloaded and installed perfectly fine. Every other game off PSN has been fine.
So I don't know why DW8 is such a mess for me on PSN. Downloading a 4th time now. I'm beginning to worry about my bandwidth cap and wasting 80GB on screwing with a bad downloader.
Reminds me of SimCity... More time waiting to play than playing.

Considering he was one of my favorite characters from DW4, I like how they seem to continue to establish Zhang Liao as a powerful warrior...I was really shocked when he
. Like wow...good job on making this guy out to be the real threat he is! Now if only they could give him back his original weapon...
up and killed Taishi Ci

Pike, similar to Lu Meng's weapon but I remember one of his last strong attacks included summoning a small whirlwind

Oh wow, these hypothetical batles are kind of cool...the one at HeiFei was pretty hilarious with how Lu Su kept figuring out what Wei was up to.

I'm almost done with Wu's beautiful alternate/hypothetical route, you'll see just how awesome the concept is, I'm enjoying altering history and riding with all tigers at the ready!

The fact that Yueying is playable in story mode makes Mid-Late Shu the best version of Shu.
Also, I love that Jiang Wei's EX weapon type is Shadow Step. Shadow Step is probably the best weapon type.

Alright, I'm getting really frustrated trying to unlock Zhu Rong. I think I need to unlock a level via The Ambush At Chang'an, by killing Xiahou Mao before he escapes. But I have no clue where he is. I hoof it over the bridge the moment it's set up, but I can't find this guy.

I just picked this up tonight on PS3.
Anyone up for some Co-op?

He's almost directly ahead once you get over the bridge a couple of chambers into the path; I had no issue finding and killing him. I know that you almost certainly know this already but you can always use the start menu to see where individual enemy officers are.

It appears that I didn't get the star objective on the previous level, something about Lu Meng. I've heard the he shows up as support in Chang'an if you do that. Is that what I'm missing?
I have that star and I don't remember there even being a prompt for Lu Meng and Lu Xun joining during the next battle. They might just show up from the beginning.

Is there a big install for this game, required or optional? (Won't be home for a bit to check)

bad gameplay lol

That's probably got something to do with it. I'll check it out, thanks.
There's an install, but it's optional. Don't recall how big it is, but it seems to help things.
Also, did you rescue the handmaiden's sister in the first portion of the stage? I don't even know if it's possible to fail that, but it causes Xiahou Mao to retreat to the spot at which you eventually kill him.
Anyway, in the Lukou stage, lure Lu Xun into the central garrison to launch the fire attack against him and then attack Lu Meng using the back path to get that star.

10GB, optional.
Get it! We still never played WO3 together! We need to play this!
This may sound crazy, okay?
This is my first Dynasty Warriors game.
GASP. I'm a Samurai Warriors kind of guy, and I loved them in Warriors Orochi. However, through WO, I played enough cool DW characters to warrant getting this (and to buy time til SW2HD/SW4 comes out.)
Plus, the game looks hype as fuck.
I'd love to still play WO3 with you. I took a break from that because WO3 Ultimate was announced. We can play some DW8 later if you don't mind I'll be low leveled as hell for a little but. I love the idea of Co-op Story mode, unlike the Bullshit co-op only when you've defeated a stage from WO3. *shudders*

Yeah, that's definitely not the problem. It doesn't seem to be something you can fail.
I only played through the stage once so far, so hopefully this is what does it.
Then, once you get the star at Lukou, I suppose my best advice would be to look at the mini-map when Xiahou Mao retreats. There'll probably be a flashing green square indicating his new position as there typically is to draw attention to a new objective or a unit that's changed locations.

Finished Shu's Historical route in Story mode. Got a lot better after they got over just having the same four characters to use for like four stages.
It's silly how much it covered and how much it just skipped over at the same time just to cover all that.
Onto to Jin!

I had an issue with this on a run where after the bridge was placed, Xiahou just disappeared after I crossed the bridge. Not retreated, but just... bugged or something. So of course I looked and he wasn't there, and Guo shows up and its a bust.
I just ran the level over again, and poof. There he was. Not the first bug I've encountered, so try giving it another shot and see what happens.
It was a glaive, wasn't it? Much like Guan Yu's? Still had a different moveset though, which was great!

Got my video review finally done on this after some week/weekday action. Loved it.
Good review, glad to hear that the 360 version is getting a patch to fix the slow down. Any word on when? I want to get back into the series since the last one I played was on the PS2

Thanks. No idea, the PR guy just said as soon as possible. It isn't always slow though, but yeah thankfully it's getting fixed.

No good. I got the star on the previous level, and Mao still just disappears. I've tried this fucking level like 6 times now. Nothing.
EDIT: Okay, it FINALLY FINALLY worked, but only when I played the level as Wei Yan.

I think I'm gonna pick this up tomorrow or in a few days...
Fucking Lu Bu, man. In Wei's Hulao Gate stage, we get this badass cutscene where Dian Wei suddenly appears and basically says "you guys run! I'll keep Lu Bu busy!"
Two seconds after the cutscene ends, Lu Bu runs straight for me and two-shots me as I'm trying to get on my horse to get away.
FUCKING

Excellent, I'd been waiting for you review,Watching this as I eat..
..In the tub!
I was already hype to play as Yueying as her outfit is stylin, then to see my girl having a scythe for a weapon now? And can summon tanks?! Hoooooooly shit!
Trying to get the star for Xu Province in Shu's story mode. Like right when Guo Jia gives the order to withdraw one group is already at the exit point and bolts before I can reach them. Will work on it tomorrow.
Has she? Maybe back in the day I always had her used a staff then.
Which is hilarious on Shu. I forgot what stage it was, but you and your little army of cronies encounter Lu Bu and get ready to fight. Cue rousing speech about togetherness, etc.
Post cutscene dialogue: Yo fuck this let's bounce

She went from dagger axe -> bow -> blade bow -> staff -> dagger axe again
I was so worried that I was gonna have to fight Lu Bu after that cutscene. I was already mashing L2 to summon the horse so I could get the hell out of there.
Also, Zhang Chunhua is amazing.

Whoa, Dian Wei's weapon change gives him 2x attack for a brief period! He's the ultimate slaughter machine already, and I still only have lv1 weapons for him. Axes seem not to drop as frequently as other weapons for me.
Just get there as quickly as you can, make sure your rage bar is full, and get between the officers and the exit point so that you can take them all out at once. Guo Jia will eventually give the order even if you do nothing/don't fulfill your objective, so don't waste time with officers along the way.

Is there a way to save mid stage? I hate needing to restart the entire thing every time I die.

If you do the save from the menu halfway through the level, it will let you continue to continue from there but it keeps whatever state you health, etc is but it's better then nothing.

Very true, and the variety is surprising, I just started using Lianshi and the game takes on another feel, the effort that went into making every character play differently, finally, should be applauded.
