I really need to play Orochi 3, but I might as well wait and see if the WiiU version gets released here at this point.

Besides the Musou mode offered with D7, is there anything else I won't get to play? I've played DW3 all expos - DW5 all expos so I'm out of my element here and wanted to pick up a good ol' kill all chinese people in sight game. Should I wait for DW7XL or just go pick up DW7? Also, between DW5 and DW7, are there any notable changes that have occurred that would make me not want to play it? Finally, is there online play yet or not, I was always disappointed that the earlier games never offered any kind of online co-op or vs. mode with friends.

I take it Bladestorm is kind of comparable to the Kessen games? I remember buying Kessen II way back after I got into Dynasty Warriors, and not being impressed with it despite having some of the same characters. The story was weird enough but the gameplay was just kind of boring to me.

Twelve by Pies posted:I take it Bladestorm is kind of comparable to the Kessen games? Never played Kessen, but you're a hotshit mercenary leader in the Hundred Years War, hired by one or the other side at any given moment. Each mission you're put onto a large battlefield with a number of castles or chokepoints, and generally speaking the mission is to take over and hold onto as many as possible and then siege a certain position or kill a certain guy. You do this by running up to a unit and going 'yo guys I'm taking command', ramming it head first into an enemy unit, and holding down the attack button, whereupon everyone breaks into a mass melee around you. Every so often you press a special attack button and your guys become a whirl of death for a few seconds. It's pretty simple, but fun. There's a weapon triangle you should probably pay attention to, especially late-game, but it's not too hard to find your favorite unit and brute-force the hell out of it.

I see Bladestorm is available for both PS3 and 360. Is one noticeably better than the other (bugs, graphical issues/quality, etc.)? I noticed the PS3 version is $20 cheaper on Amazon.

They updated the official page again with 3 old Wei characters (Zhen Ji, Cao Pi, and Xiahou Yuan). Twin swords look a bit larger but nothing else really new.

I just noticed that in the character descriptions it says "proficient weapon", not just "weapon", maybe that means it's multi-weapons like before? I sure hope not.

Bought up WO3 last week, mainly thanks to this thread. I've been really digging it so far despite never having played any of the warriors games before. I like getting history lesson injections by scoping most of the characters I pick up that I wasn't already familiar with on wiki. I've only managed to try out a fraction of the stuff in the game so far, and only played through the first ending which comes midway through the game. Hideyoshi Toyotomi is by far my favourite of the characters I've tested. He seems just completely broken with the speed/range/everything on the segmented staff. Are there other similar characters with absurd weapon speed/range?

Lu Bu (probably Keiji Maeda and Tadakatsu Honda to some extent but I haven't played them yet) has pretty good speed/range even when using a weapon without reach/agility plus his attack animations have really wide arcs. Ding Feng isn't particularly speedy and lacks range but his charge attacks are unblockable grabs, some of which cause him to swing his opponent around like a ragdoll which gives him a lot of range and an absolutely ridiculous amount of invincibility frames.

Yue Ying's got pretty good range. When I did the game on Chaos I pretty much used her in every single mission. Her lightning vortex EX attack just murders everything. edit: Yoshimoto is also terrible. U.T. Raptor fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Nov 14, 2012 |

I find it harder to find a character I don't like to play rather than list out my favorites. Pretty much the only character I hate to play as is Goemon.

Thanks for the tips. Haven't managed to unlock Lu Bu yet, but Ding Feng is indeed incredibly powerful and really fun to use. I'm also really liking Liu Bei a fair bit since he has so much movement on his dash/charges and is a pretty solid combine harvester once you get the weapon affinity up a bit. Surprisingly also liking Diaochan a fair bit due to her super high attack speed and very cheap R1 with massive movement bundled in. Also re: Belzac. You're definitely right in that most of the characters in the game seem very usable.

Yeah I think Diaochan flat out came and said how at some point in the camp. I've just been busy with other stuff for the time being. Going to try it out later today. e: Got him. He has some pretty decent moves, but it seems his most useful charge with the stabby aoe is kind of stupidly designed. He just stands there for ages invulnerable with the animation going. It kind of breaks the flow of combat. Oh well, he's still pretty fun to use in short bursts. Nurge fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Nov 15, 2012 |

Yeah, a lot of the grab & hold type charge moves like Lu Bu's and Cao Ren's (although his has the added benefit of a heal) take too long to execute. I've also discovered that Wang Yuanji and Zhu Rong (throwing knives) have ridiculous range and speed with their default attack chains and will fill up your triple attack bar much quicker than anyone else I've experimented with so far. The only disadvantage is that their attacks cause no hitstun on grounded enemies.

Anyone pick up a WiiU today with WO3: Hyper? Like all Warriors games it's getting no coverage at all. I was wondering how the general porting went, how the new duel mode is, and how the new characters are.

Cross posting a trip report on WiiU version of WO3 from a goon:flyboi posted:So Policenaut asked me to post a review for Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper and I can't find the Orochi 3 thread so I'll post it here. I watched a person stream it and the slow down is actually quite bad for someone who's played the game on PS3 before but the loading is way faster somehow. Duel mode seemed pretty fun too.

. One thing I do find shocking is this includes online gameplay which is much nicer than Vita's bastardized "online" gameplay - "TOUCH SCREEN INFINITY BLADE DUELING ONLINE CHARS THAT ARE NOT REALLY THERE"
|
Are they including any of the DLC or anything in the WiiU version or is it basically the same as the 360/PS3 but with duel mode/new chars? I already own the 360 version and a little bit of the DLC.

This is what I loved about WO3: It was about the Koei Warriors B-Team. The only real head honcho around for most of the early story was Sima Zhao, and since Sima Yi was still alive (And Jin technically doesn't exist), he didn't feel like he was top of the ladder. It felt like it was the minor guys going back and saving all the main Warriors and having the spotlight to themselves for once. Hell, Zhou Tai pretty much saves Wu single handed. Only think I don't like about it is that since Sun Ce and Sun Jian still get to exist, Sun Quan goes back to being a two-bit chump nobody.

This is pretty much the main premise of the first WO game too (I never played 2/Z). Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, and Cao Pi fill in for the main heroes until the last mission of each faction. Only Nobunaga sits at the head of his own story.
