^An amazing day for me, two of my top series get their next release on the same day, but luckily, I have the money for both, a month ago and it would have been a very different story.
Agreed. Shu got the boring additions in this game.

I'm surprised this game actually comes with a pretty thick manual(Dual language) for today's manual standards lol. The Install is 9852MB.

Awesome for the manual and man that's basically the size of DW7E. My hard drive space ;_;

Thank God I upgraded it to 500GB recently. But god damn this game is amazing. Koei finally declone the characters I LOVE IT! I think I'm actually gonna by the DLC weapons and Maps for this game. The install is optional but it helps a lot.

This game is godlike!!!!
Yeah, I know what you mean the voice acting may be different or appear to be more seamless when you're playing the actual game for yourself, but solely judging off these few trailers with English VAs I just noticed that they come across as corny/cheesy, which probably shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us at this point after seeing DW3 voice acting, lol.
Any specific comments on the game so far?
One thing i like about Koei Tecmo is they've listened to fan feedback on difficulty level. A lot of western fans say they want a harder game and so the AI for the EU/NA version is much better.
Basically the easy mode in the EU/NA is the same as playing Normal in the JP version. And Normal is like Hard. If that makes sense. Plus archers have been allowed to give more damage and some player attacks have been toned down to give the feeling of more difficult gameplay.
So some of you guys might find it hard on normal if that makes sense.

I wonder if I even have enough empty room for the install right now. I'll probably have to delete FFXIV's beta. :/

Playing tutorials for all the factions. So far it's way superior than 7, the voice acting is really not that bad(I actually prefer it over JP VA). The storm rush and switch counter adds new gameplay which is kinda cool but makes the game easy. The one thing I love the most is the evolution musou it's just so bad ass and so much fun to use.

It's DW3 all over again.

Difficulty really only gives enemy units more dmg output. They're still kinda dumb.
Interesting, I didn't know about this. I was going to play through this game on hard like I did in DW7, but if that is actually expert in the JP version, then eh......
Superior to DW7 and voice acting isn't bad = really good to hear.

Wow I really like the new Sima Zhao moveset. He was one of my favorite characters in 7. Holding R2 to ride a horse automatically is one the best feature they put in. Finally!!! I got sick of clicking R2 then wait for the horse to arrive and position myself to get on it.
From what i've heard the AI has been improved quite a bit. It's just archers that give more damage. Officers actually attack more and use more aerial musou attacks and charge attacks to break your combos. So even if you're juggling an officer they'll be able to defend/attack before you can fully kill them.

Blogpost/whatever you want to call it posted on the main page of Koei Warriors detailing the History of Dynasty Warriors and it is also a retrospective on the whole series too, some may be interested in reading it. It is a bit on the long side but still interesting.

Thanks, I'll make sure to clear space by Tuesday. Man I wish I upgraded my hd now.

Ah, I knew I forgot about a feature.
Looking forward to using that instead of calling a horse, waiting for the game to let me ride it as I keep pressing X and the horse walking away cause it thinks I'm attacking in that area.

So to save me from assembling an excel file of the different games, is there anyone who hasnt been included this time? I was pretty cheesed after the Pang De thing in 7 (360. Grrr.)
Also, they better take all my money for music DLC. I loved rocking out to Eve again in 7, and I'm going to miss 7's Theme of Jin-Finale.

Yup. It's optional though i think.
It just improves loading times a lot.
The Digital Download version is around 19GB i think.

Everyone who has been in a past DW game is back besides Fu Xi and Nu Wa (who been put into the WO series) and the exclusive for Strikeforce characters. Even Zuo Ci is back!

Optional. The loading is definitely noticeable lool.

They definitely gonna take my money for Weapon, Map and OST DLC. Costume DLC's on the other hand I'm not really interested.
/shudder

I pretty much want all that DLC. Weapons, maps, more weapon skins, music, ambition mode towns, original costumes, all of it!
The only ones I'll probably not get are the older DW outfits since Koei will probably charge for them.

Damn... since 5E!?! Let me just say you gonna love it, The hype is definitely worth it.

Question: is this game dubbed in english or is it like WO3 where it was japanese dub ?
dragonflys545

It only has the English dub on the Disc. The Japanese dub will be a free DLC.

how's the game's performance? does it maintain the framerate most of the time.
dragonflys545
Member
I have't had any issue when it comes to framerate. So far it's quite smooth.
PS3 version is great. There is very slight slowdown around fire attack areas, so for example in the battle of Hu Lao Gate one of the cities is on fire and there can be some slight slowdown if there are too many troops on the screen at once. But it's fine normally.
It's the Xbox 360 version that no one is sure of just yet.
Yes

I'm trying to decide if who I should order from. Amazon will get it here quicker than Gamestop and will be free shipping but has no pre-order costumes. Gamestop will take longer and cost me $5 for APO shipping but has pre-order costumes.
I mean, if I wait for them to release on Live, they will more than likely be cheaper than $5. So it makes since to go with Amazon I guess and buy the pre-order costumes when they are released as DLC. But that is also assuming they will release them at a later date. Odds are they will, but I don't really want to end up in a Lollipop Chainsaw situation again where they say "Nope, they were for pre-orders only. We will never release them for everyone else." And if they do release them on Live and I buy them then, how will I be able to limit myself to only buying them? There is a lot of DLC for this game. Granted most of the DLC costumes looks cool, but I can't allow myself to pay the prices they want for everything they release. I haven't bought anything for 7 and only bought the initial cheap DLC for WO3.
I wish they would have cheaper DLC and cheaper bundles. Or even a season pass, these are games I would actually grab a season pass for. But then again, I tend to grab season passes on sale, and one for this game would probably stay full price forever.
What I would love is to see a Complete Edition release with all the DLC at a later date, but I do realize that these games aren't big enough for that to happen.

I personally don't really care for the DLC costumes from Gamestop, don't see myself using those specifically so I'd go with Amazon for sure

Ambition (mode) makes me so horny. (kudo's if you can place the reference.)
I like everything I'm reading about it, brings back memories of warriors orochi 3, my favorite parts were gaining new officers and bonding with them!
HA ha!
I have no earthly idea what you're talking about, but that makes it awesome in my eyes!
