Why's there Team Ninja speak on here when the only game in the Warriors series they are involved with is Hyrule Warriors XD?

Did they ever end up patching the PS4 and Vita versions of DW8? From what I remember the western releases weren't as up to date as the Japanese versions.

Yep, a patch came out last month and gave most if not all the improvements from the Japanese patches.

How many levels are in DW8 and SW4 respectively?

Yeah, I'd love more impressions on SW4 too. I loved the hell out of SW2XL with over 300 hours played, while I hated SW3, but mainly because it was on the Wii.
Musashi's back this time so that's a good start.

Can't count at the moment, but there are tons in DW8 Xtreme Legends complete edition. However, a lot of them reuse maps for different scenarios, and some of the XL stages redo the same scenarios from story mode, with slight alterations.

I would love to say "one brown level"
Level/stage variety isn't a highlight of the Warriors games. Just empty valleys and forests to run through.
But it takes about 30 hours or so to complete a Warriors title. So it's more about length of the games than having actual levels/stages.
oh and sorry if you are already an expert of the series and actually wanted to know like a number of stages for something

welcome to Tecmo-Koei pricing
10/10 for me. I loved it!
If you guys want impressions, go back a few pages to around March.
Nay, if you own a PS3, PS4, Vita or XBONE. Yay, if you only own a Wii U.

You have him pressing start while your selecting a character right? There is only like one screen where player 2 can join and he has to hit join every single time.
Dd they fix the bullshit changes with mitsuhide story in SW3. Having motochika being one to turn mitsuhide and then be key part in honnuji destroys any emotional or personal tie with nobunaga what they done so well in past 2 games.
They need to tone down incident at honnuji stage have it just mitsuhide in the temple while army is has it surrounded.

So, apparently DW8:Empires comes out in September in Japan. Hope it gets translated.

Looks like Liu Bei can finally have a decent kid. xD

That's not what he actually looked like. It's symbolic to represnt certain characteristics and virtues he was supposed to possess.
Also, that comic always makes me laught, Samurai_Heart. xD
I still say that should have been where the storyline split for Shu in 8. "Save Ah Dou" ==> Bad ending. "Let Ah Dou Die." ==> Good Ending.
Aww yis.
My favourite Warriors series.
I wish I could play Samurai Warriors 3 Empire.
Guessing they still making it so if you start on Hu Lao scenario then after doing main battle Hu Lao Gate event you never get chi bi and rest main events still.
I want a scenario that is a historical route so to speak where can start on hu Lao and certain conditions end up with every major event upto Wu Zhang or later

You know, the more I think about this, the more angry I get.
The current split between historical and hypothetical paths for Shu in DW8 is at the battle of Fan Castle. I suppose the implication is that if Guan Yu survived, Zhang Fei wouldn't have been killed, and Liu Bei, by extension, would not have launched that disastrous campaign at Yi Ling and died himself of illness (read: profound grief). The entire fate of Shu gets changed as a result. Of course, the real reason it's there is to provide a weak justification as to why they expanded the Guan family roster...
Sadly, as it is now, I can't see them using your scenario since they've made Liu Shan out to be some sort of savant-savior that really knows whats best, but acts like a simpleton in front of everybody else.
dakkumauji
Member
I wouldn't mind if they explored more of Liu Shan being an idiot, hidden badass like the brief cutscene they did with Imagawa in SW4.
If anything I wish the what-if's were used more to showcase the characters they usually ignore in the game. They did a "somewhat" a good job for them in DW8.
Pretty great, especially post-patch.

So playing through Ken's Rage 2....dear God was Omega Force lazy on this =/
Everyone needed waay more moves and the static 3D model pretending to be like the "manga" panel is just jarring =/ and it was released to celebrate the 30th anniversary...
I can still play through it but you could really tell they rushed it =(

So with DW8 XL on sale on EU PSN do I get:
PS4 at 26.99 to remote play (and potentially big screen, obv.)
or
Vita at 17.99 with bad frame rate
?
Thoughts? Worth the extra 9 for PS4? Anyone tried this game on remote play?
Btw - never really played a musou game before (except a quick shot at DW Next). Is this a good place to start?

PS4 definitely.
Definitely! DW8 and WO3 are in my opinion, two of the best Musou games.

Is Gundam Reborn any good? On sale for a tenner and I haven't played any of the Gundam Warriors games.
Edit: Wait, I think it's just all the DLC bundled together and not the game itself.

How long is it meant to take for the data sharing for DW8XL to upload to the server? I did it on my Vita like 12 hours ago and it isn't showing up on my PS4 copy.
Wondering if it is because the PS4 version is US and Vita UK but I transferred from PS4 to Vita no problem.

Well, there isn't much they can do with him, honestly. If they're going to use Fan as the splitting point, then add Liu Feng and make whether or not he betrays Guan Yu as the catalyst. He'd be a neat choice: proven warrior and adopted heir of Liu Bei who is passed over for an idiotic blood child. His saving Yu's bacon could make Liu Bei go against Zhuge Liang's wishes and restore Feng as his heir.
I like it better than gw3..though don't like it as much as gw2. Still don't get how kyoji doesn't have DG cell skill in Gundam reborn.
Made that same mistake myself. I would have been all over that.

Omega Force didn't make the game. It's garbage compared to all the other musous that followed its release in 2013-2014. Can't believe people are buying it in the anime sale, even for $12.50.

Lol I wanted to get into Fist of the North Star series, I liked his inclusion in Jump games.. but the game was a terrible introduction guess I should've went with Ken's Rage 1...

They didn't? Who were the devs then? I always thought that the same team that does OP did Shin Hokuto. The game comes off like a rushed project the team did between OP 1 and 2.
Either way, it's most certainly my least favorite Musou game in ages. They should have just expanded on the first one's content and given it a slight speed boost, rather than ruin the gameplay the way they did.

Couldn't find anything on developer, just says "Koei" but I've looked and see who lead the KR2 project and it was the same guy who made the first OP PW game I was eeeeeh on...

I don't know if i like the storm rush feature. it feels...OP.
i understand it can be turned off but it's hard not to abuse it. it seems like its too much flash and not enough substance.
almost on the level of "press A for awesome"

I think it was probably made to speed up defeating an officer, which is a bonus but if you feel it is OP why not turn it to manual instead of auto?

Depending on the weapon and element setup, Storm Rush really starts to lose out on efficiency on Chaos difficulty and up.
Even if you still use it, setting it to manual activation is much better than automatic. That way you can position yourself to the greatest effect, or prevent it from ruining the flow of your fight.
Of course, if you ever are looking for max damage, do note that you can use a musou attack at the end of a storm rush, before knocking all the enemies away.
