What's the consensus in the Sphere of Influence vs Taishi debate? I've just discovered I own SoI even though I don't even remember buying it.

I like SOI and apparently you shouldn't play with the expansion on.

If you can snag hyrule warriors, definitely spring for the one that includes all the dlcs, cause they're surprisingly good too.

Also I've not been impressed by any ROTK game after X. It's kind of sad.

Did any of Hyrule Warriors' later releases add another story campaign?

Whatever happened with the DW movie?

I was liking Spirit of Sanada but the second half drags so badly and the wrongheaded decision to cut out Hideyori entirely just kills it the whole story.

What it feels like is the writers desperately wanting to avoid Lingqi ever having an real conversation with Diao Chan.

Yeah, between that and the lack of Hideyori in SoS it's like they want to avoid anything complicated.

There is still some brilliance though, I loved the touch of having Hidetada's clothes be too big for him.

I just hope they got some decent voice actors this time.

Nah, they'll just cut English voices altogether.

Too bad, Jamieson Price was the best Lu Bu they ever had.

Is the gimmick with these Kessen 3 cutscenes they're based on Kabuki or some such? A lot of pantomiming to the cheap seats.

SW4 Empires is on sale, do the gimmicks outside of the core combat make it worth $25?

Also did none of you remember the last gundam musou

I thought there were just the three until recently. Did the newest one return to character specific what-if story campaigns?

So since the game's out in Japan, I was curious: The official website implies that there is just one linear campaign story without any choices beyond maybe who is controlled in the battles and every other mode was a thin grind with very sporatic moments of dialogue.

Is there much more to 5?

Definitely feels back to basics but that's not an awful idea. The story mode has definitely not taken any lessons from SoS, that's for sure.

Is there a way to set a 360 controller's x button to turbo automatically on PC?

(oh God I'm getting old :().

I remember being in one escort mission in DW3 where the officer I was escorting (Guan Yu, I think) was engaged in combat with someone I could not help them with (maybe Lu Bu or something), and he was holding his own really well only if he was loaded onto my screen. If I got too far from him, his model would despawn and he would be on the verge of death. I'd load him back in, and half his health had vanished.

Hah, that reminds me of having to press myself against a fence in (4?) to watch Pang Tong slowly beat a small group of mooks.

I picked up DW9E.

Measured up against DW9 vanilla, I've already noticed some significant engine improvements, though I've only been through the tutorial so far.

The fact that some steam achievements are lacking words does not inspire much hope for polish.

It’s basically sw4 but solely focused on the Sanada. The stratagem things you can use during the battles are pretty cool though.

Also it has one of the best tracks in the series

Hideyori's complete absense except for one inexplicable mention at the end can leave you scratching your head, but it was pretty good.
