Warriors Orochi 1 is better, and has a pc port, if you don't want to use an emulator.

DW8 was a bad port at launch, but they fixed it so it works more than half of the time. They'll probably have Toukiden fixed in another month or so too.

I wish. :( But there are full guides to Orochi 1 and 2, as well as the extra content (as it was put into Orochi 2 PSP), so if you can stomach the JP, you can still have tons of fun.

I got it at launch and it worked perfectly though. :confused:

Are you confusing it with DW8 Empires? That's the one that got later patches that had to fix issues.

alfreed uses daggers and a bow, kishward dual swords. also some details on the gameplay

Additionally, the images offer another look at the game’s combat system. The “Charge Shift” action will allow players to switch between weapons during combo attacks and chain combos longer than usual. In traditional Warriors games, you can chain a combo of about five to six normal and Charge Attacks, but through Arlsan‘s Charge Shift, by switching weapons while connecting combos, you can chain up to 14. The last attack of your combo will be a flash “Finish Attack.” If you defeat an enemy using Charge Shift, you’ll gain more experience and might even get rare item drops.

You’ll also get a look at “Skill Cards,” which are how you’ll strengthen your characters. You can acquire new Skill Cards by defeating enemies and clearing scenarios, and then equip them to your characters. There are over 200 cards to collect, each with their own unique skill effects. Of course, this is an addition to leveling your characters traditionally.

Gamefly's PS4 stores only has like 7 used games, but 1 is Bladestorm Nightmare for $20 and another is Toukiden for $38.

That's the lowest I've seen Bladestorm, though I'm still worried I'm going to regret it.

I would really just wait for a steam sale this winter to see if it goes lower. It's honestly pretty boring even as far as musou.

It's an interesting but fundamentally flawed experiment because KT didn't have the balls to actually make you have to use strategy, so you can just beat pretty much anything with whatever you favourite weapon type is as long as you level it sufficiently. Also the station mechanic further breaks an already easy game because it effectively gives you infinite money and XP for doing nothing.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Some details about Attack on Titan are out.

quote:

The project began from around the end of 2013 into January and February 2014.

It’s an action game that factors in the elements of being “united with your companions” and the “sacrifice of your companions.” It’s different from what many refer to as a “hunting game.”

The game also incorporates ideas offered by the original author Hajime Isayama.

The game will follow the original story written by Hajime Isayama.

As an action game, Koei Tecmo wants to establish an image where players can move around the world of Attack on Titan as they like. It won’t be a ‘defeat the enemy, progress the story’-type game. At its core, it’s an action game and within that, players will be able to understand the story.

The game will start from the beginning of the original story.

From its initial planning, Koinuma was moving forward with the title on his own. After becoming managing director of Koei Tecmo in April, Koinuma’s connection to the project became difficult, but he did not move away from development and supervised the game’s direction and management.

The game is being developed with PlayStation 4 as the lead platform. Previously, Koei Tecmo would base its games on PlayStation 3, brush it up for PlayStation 4, and release a PlayStation 3-level handheld version for PS Vita. This time, PlayStation 4 is being given priority.

The game’s action parts have been built and scrapped over three times—repeated trial and error. The story, side elements, and systems are doing well, though. Somehow, Koei Tecmo wants to release it in Japan “this winter.”

The 3D Manuever Gear is the most important element, making sure you move and fight comfortably with it and without compromise.

Whether or not the player takes on the role of Eren Yaeger is still a secret.

They plan to make the action draw you in with quick and elegant take downs.

Cabela's are pretty much the polar opposite of Monster Hunter games. In one of them, you go and shoot down 35 fleeing rabbits in a minute "for dinner" (like anyone would). On the other, you hunt one gigantic-rear end aggressive monster rabbit for 35 minutes, to use its fur as armor, its bones as weapons, its organs to brew potions and its ears to wear as a hat.


Might as well describe Dynasty Warriors as a hunting game, you're constantly hunting enemy officers down, and Lu Bu is hunting you

Nah, Monster Hunter is just Punch Really Strong Monsters In The Face Who Can One Shot You Simulator. It's a twitchy and melodramatic game about grinding monster parts so you can build better weapons to punch really strong monsters etc. with.

Cabelas is about shooting the same wolf in the face a dozen times over and over. Somehow, an ancient Native American curse is involved, except you're in Africa.

They were going for the hub / mission thing, and in a way it evolved into the 'Ambition Mode' thing in 8, from what I could tell. Toukiden would be more Omega Force trying to get the Monster Hunter money.

Would Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate be worth it for around $25 if I'm jonesing for a Dynasty Warriors fix on the Xbox One or is it outdated and will be replaced with a newer game soon? I'm familiar with and enjoy the DW story/campaign maps and have never played a Samurai Warriors game.

WO4 isn't happening for a while, if ever, so as someone who has bought it twice, I say go for it.

I spent $25 on WO3 a few months ago when it went on sale, and it was one of the best $25 I ever spent on a game. I've played it for countless hours and I still have not unlocked every character or finished every stage, not to mention dueling mode and gauntlet mode (each of which could easily be their own game). WO3 Ultimate has an absurd amount of content, I would say it is the best Warriors game currently available, despite some titles being newer.

Yeah, I might just go ahead and grab it. The last Warriors game I played the poo poo out of was Dynasty Warriors 3. As dated as it probably is nowadays, I loved it. If the battles are similar to that in WO3, then it would be perfect.

Is it worth buying the extra stage/battlefield packs like this one?

I ended up buying all of the stage pack DLCs, they are all pretty well done though some are a better value than others. The first 5 or so all come with a poo poo load of music tracks, if you are going to get any of the DLC get that, as the music tracks are pretty bad rear end and give some more variety to gauntlet/duel mode. They don't add any actual new "stages", they are just new scenarios on the original stages, but they do highlight a bunch of characters that the base game only give one or two scenarios worth of development.

I wouldn't bother getting the costume packs at all, each character comes with 5-6 costumes to unlock in the base game, and there is a colour editor so you can make a neon orange Lu Bu if that fancies you.

On top of that, they don't branch based on things you do in the previous mission. You can just choose a side.

If there was ever a warriors game worth full price it would be WO3U, it's a steal at 25 bucks considering the sheer amount of stuff in the game. It's a bit more challenging than other warriors games well, even a group of mooks can own you if you don't pay attention.
