Dynasty Warriors 8: Extreme Legends is at 50% discount in steam this weekend and I'm considering it. Sadly my game pad is poo poo, can this game be played comfortably with just the keyboard or has too much buttons? I played DW 4 and Samurai Warriors 2 with the keyboard with no problems. Also, my computer is a little low on CPU, has anyone had trouble with that?

booksnake posted:As someone who wanted his DW fix despite only owning a lovely nongaming laptop, the game only slowed down appreciably if I had everything max settings while having a thousand dudes on screen. And some musous in crowds. Take this with a grain of salt, though, since I don't know how much my situation parallels yours. Good enough, after all this years without playing a DW game I have the irresistible urge to kill several thousand Chinese soldiers and experiencing the joy of stepping into Hu Lao Gate.

Nanman map on DW4 was certainly one of the most rear end in a top hat things I've seen in a DW game. Dw4 was really difficult compared to DW8, goddamn.

Just finished Lu Bu's hypothetical route on hard today and it was a blast. Also I'm finally able to use temper to create decent weapons, what are your favorite attribute setups? I want to create some truly op weapons.

Just tempered a 4-star throwing knife to max and it's hell on wheels. It's normal attacks don't seem to do max damage, but when to hit the charge attack, elemental poo poo happens and everything dies. It's glorious, but the weapon itself is kinda lame and bland. I have already a pretty good 3-star halberd, and I just acquired a 4-star halberd with only slash 7, with enough materials left to go crazy on this, I'm thinking something like slash, induction, explosive, recovery, cyclone, velocity/flash(?). So much poo poo to do and so few materials. Enallyniv posted:Make yourself a set of throwing knives with Cyclone, then put them away and only ever use them for things you need to finish really quickly. I'll pimp Zhou Tai as soon as I grind more mats, he was my favorite character in DW4, getting his lvl 10 weapon on the Nanman campaign left me scarred for life though.

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Ugh, is there any way to break an opponent's guard in DW8:XL SE? I'm getting real tired of enemies blocking my attacks halfway through a combo and strong attacks don't seem to stagger them. Also, for some weird reason Jin's Deng Ai weapon, the lance, goes through guards with a lot of it's normal attacks as well.

How does Empires perfomance-wise compared to DW:8 XL? I'm living abroad and I only have my lovely laptop with an integrated graphic card, if I can run DW8 without issues, Empires would be alright?

QuantaStarFire posted:On some characters, this seems to be the only way to charge their Kizuna meter in a reasonable fashion. Try this guy's channel, it has guides for some characters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdO1xEcumEg And yeah, there's some characters with special attacks that fill kizuna like crazy, that's one of the reasons I've fallen in love with Kuma. Also, I'd recommend you to upgrade the battlefield charisma skill as soon as posible.

QuantaStarFire posted:Yeah, I grinded out Ace and Sabo to get that out of the way. Still need Stylish, but I have to kill Lucci a few more times (I'm so loving tired of Enies Lobby), so it's going to be a bit before I get it. I think I've never used stylish and I'm a few islands away from s-ranking everything, but if you want to target Lucci to unlock his skill poster, don't grind him in legend mode, instead go to dream log mode and play one of the CP9 islands to death. Dream log missions are way shorter and are more densely populated, so you can get the same amount of kizuna kills in less time.

He used to call himself Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, which is basically the buddhist Satan. I don't know if he was a demon, but for sure he was a loving troll.

RoTK XI was a pretty good strategy game, even with all the micromanagement, but hey, it was the price to pay to have two angry scholars on top of stone pillars shouting at each other until one of them explodes.

Sudden Javelin posted:DW4 also has the dreadful duel system, and that loving Nanman stage. So good it's on both Wu and Shu. gently caress the Nanman mission, I still have nightmares about the time my buddy and me were trying to unlock Zhou Tai's final weapon. I played a poo poo ton of DW4 and I loved it, but it could be awfully frustrating.

Ghost of Starman posted:...I really want those x55 Oars coins though. If I go back in on Hard, is there any way to avoid a repeat scenario? It seriously seemed like there was nothing I could have done. It's probably the most annoying map in the game, just do it as fast as possible, even if you have to lower the difficulty and come back later to get the legend rewards. I have around 100 hours in this game and I still don't have a 100% legend score in all story mode stages, some of them can be quite tedious.

Ghost of Starman posted:Oh, I went back and finished it on Normal already. I didn't get any Oars coins from killing him (multiple times! Yes, it's the only source of Oars coins. Strawhats are the only ones that uses them. Honestly, don't sweat it, you can beat legend mode and achieve level break without ever getting the Oars coins. I still haven't got the coins myself, this is probably my least played map, by far.

Never played an Empires game, is DW:8 Empires (for pc) any good? I have played DW8 and it was good enough I guess. Also, any worthwhile DLC? I don't really care about cosmetics.

Jimbot posted:Nami is pretty god-tier in Pirate Warriors 3. She clears everything and bosses incredibly fast. She also has good set ups for the kizuna attacks. Who else is incredibly broken? In my humble (and probably wrong) opinion, the incredibly broken character tier are: - Shanks. His R1 is op, basically slow time on demand. His move set is also pretty great. - Whitebeard. His move set is good all around but his four string with charged attack is really good. Incredibly good second-tier special attack too. He's probably my favourite character, he just feels so beastly. - Fujitora. He lives and dies by his R1, the rest of his set is ok, with a heavy focus on AoE. Honorable mention: Eneru. He's a true flowchart character, charge your electricity, jumungul (the dragon attack) kizuna jumungul special kizuna jumungul ad nauseam. His second tier special is godly, too. Once you hit your rythm feels super broken. People also swear for Tashigi, but I haven't played her and Doflamingo is another character popularly labeled as op.

I'm doing the DLC battles of PW3, in nightmare mode, and goddamit, they are a serious clusterfuck. I limit broke Fujitora, never bothered to hunt down his last coin, and he's even more broken that I suspected, cleared the "World Government Mega-Showdown" super easily. However, the next mission, the "Pirate Mega-Showdown" is the longest, most irritating mission in the game (well, maybe on par with Thriller Bark), you need to finish under 30 minutes to get S rank and killing so many strong dudes with so much health under a constant barrage of cannonballs for 30+ minutes is annoying and a pain in the rear end. The good part is that is the best place to grind max cre level for Lapahn in the game, if you are aiming for the 100% completion.

DW 4 troops were hard as nails too, incredibly annoying. Unlocking Zhou Tai's lvl 10 weapon on the nanman stage was a loving nightmare, I still remember King Duosi and King Mulu trampling my face with elephants, forever.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 gameplay is top notch, in fact I'm replaying DW 8 and I'm having trouble finding it as interesting as before. The main problem with One Piece (aside from being animu) is that they tried to cram so much poo poo into it that they barely explain the story and background.

Who the gently caress had the bright idea, for Dynasty Warriors 4's Nanman Campaign, to have your ENTIRE ARMY TAKING CONSTANT loving MORALE HITS FOR THE ENTIRE STAGE?! Meanwhile, the enemy's morale climbs higher and higher and higher. Oh the memories I hope you are not planning to unlock Zhou Tai's lvl 10 weapon.

kirbysuperstar posted:Yeah, I kinda dig it. It's very odd and I miss the old English voices, but I think I'll keep an eye out for a nice price. Looks pretty awful. It's a shame because if Rotk XI gote remad and become more streamlined and less of a grind to play it could have been fantastic. I've been replaying it a bit lately and the mid to late game is a massive slog. By the way, do we have a dedicated thread to talk about Koei's strategy games?

Fujitora can become extremely powerful if you build him to abuse his R1 ability, probably top 3 but I find him pretty boring to play. Whitebeard is also really good, but I have more of an incentive to actually use his moveset instead of spamming one ability.
