I'll just cut straight to the chase: I'm not feeling the need to chase down the 4th weapons.

My nephew's been all over DW/SW longer than I have, and warned me that the requirements for the bonus weapons were nonsensical (in his words). I looked up Zhou Tai's 4th and executed it for a more informed opinion, and now I'm inclined to agree. The bonus weapon requirements would've rocked my world if only hints were provided, or the requirements were tied in better with the subtleties of a character's story. Also, I overestimated the effectiveness of Dusk and caught a severe beatdown in Hard Mode Battle of Bai Di Castle. I would've been a lot more cautious and strategic with Dawn, I think.

Speaking of castles... The Wu vs. He Fei Castle battle is almost its own fucking game right there. Gets my vote for one of the greatest single stages ever in the history of beat-em-ups.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Yeah, the He Fei stage is great. You REALLY gotta have a strategy for tackling it.

DW5 satisfies the wall-hugging corpse juggler in all of us.

I'm seriously considering doing a UT'04 DOM map adaptation of He Fei castle. Why should it be one of the greatest stages ever in only ONE genre?

 

[MrAngryFace]

DW5 is my personal Game of the Year. Fuck the haters, they arent real gamers.

 

[Alex]

You don't have to be a real gamer to like Dynasty Warriors, you just have to not hate fun.

Xu Zhu and the Legend of Bridge Melee

This heartwarming story about the irony of a fat kid with mallet hoarding precious space is the feel-good hit of the season and funtastic viewing for kids of all ages!

 

[keeblerdrow]

My only complaint for DW5 is that god-awful voice acting. Is there no way to turn it down and keep the kickass music and sound effects?

THE ENEMY CRINGES IN FEAR OF PANG DE

 

[MrAngryFace]

DW5 is such an amazing game. Holy shit!

I wish I could get the CG Art for Yue Ying used in the Musou Mode Character Select Menu. That would make an insanely cool wallpaper.

If you seriously do it, let us know, that would be an awesome concept. Assault would be better though, I'd assume? I'd agree with the 4th weapon comment but I'm too busy trying to collect them.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Holy shit I just played 2 player co-op with drinky. FUCKING TOUGH BATTLE even on normal. We did a 5 star map tho. Man that was intense. Yue Ying and Lu Meng took care of fucking business tho.

 

[Drinky Crow]

That was fucking INTENSE. We were in the red almost the whole time, and had to stage coordinated rolling assaults on the raged-out Xu Zhu and Cao Pi. We woulda been better off if that fucker Cao Ren hadn't caught us off guard, although Wang Ling did a number on me early, too -- fucking forces were just standing around letting him juggle me. The last half of the siege was REALLY well executed, though -- downright flawless, in fact.

HE FEI OWNS.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah the enemies were hitting harder and taking way less damage too haha.

Yes, AS would be better suited for He Fei. But, you'd have to ask me on a good day to put up with the amount of scripting to do a decent AS map. If I can do a good DOM adaptation that gets nods, I'll gladly remix it for AS.
