Walrus Pete posted:I haven't been deep into a Dynasty Warriors game since 3 (played some of 4 and 5 but 3 consumed an entire summer for me and a friend), could someone explain the XL games? If I wanted to play DW7, does XL have the original game plus the extra stuff, or is it actually an expansion pack that only has the extra stuff in it? The OP makes it sound like it was designed to be installed on top of DW7 but obviously since it's a disc and not DLC I'm not fully understanding it. The XL games are side stories that have their own standalone content, but can be "installed" onto their parent game so that you can use your pre-existing progress and whatnot with the new content and add some new features or characters to the old game. The way they work (which is weird these days) is that you pop in the XL disk and then select an option from the main menu that's usually labelled something like "import" or "install", then swap in your corresponding DW disk, let the system read it, then swap the XL disk back in and go.

I know next to nothing about Pokemon, but which one of them would be the "grunts" if it was a musou game? Zubats, rattatas and tentacools. You could throw a rock and not hit the ground for all the drat trash pokemon wandering around in those games.

HenryEx posted:Well, that was a lot of info on RotK on the last page. Thanks to all of you. That's called establishing a district. Look under the menu options that are lower in the city commands list, and remember that you can manage your districts from any city - not just the ones you want to put on autopilot. Also, a great way to make sure that your main territory has enough AP to do what you want each turn is to use one of your less active districts as a bank of AP and money to reward your officers.

Yeah, Warriors Orochi 3 has pretty much definitely buried the whole "historical/mythological figures only" thing what with the ninja gaiden characters on the cast. Which means now Koei needs to get From Software on the phone and license Solaire, Laurentius, Siegmeyer and Tarkus for the next crossover title

MissileWaster posted:E: The main dude I used in 5 fought with nunchaku, I can't remember his name for the life of me. Anyone have any ideas, and is he available in 7? That's Ling Tong. He's in 7, although he's not nearly as ridiculous in terms of power. Samurai Sanders posted:Oh my god. They'd fit in perfectly. Also Sieglinde can be there for the necessary moe slot. You could really make a case for a ton of Souls characters to show up in a musou game: Biorr, Patches, Logan and Quelana are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head who have enough personality or visually interesting design to fit the bill. Heck, even some of the humanoid bosses would work - considering Gyuki and Dodomeki, you could easily shove Ornstein and Smough in. EDIT: And considering the whole "the fabric of reality is really thin" justification the Souls games use to justify their multiplayer mechanics you literally need only the flimsiest of excuses to have them show up. Yeah, Solaire wants to gently caress up some evildoers in crazy bizarro Chinapan, what of it?

You're correct, anything you purchase with a character's growth points is a passive expansion that is always in effect.

They really just need to bring back Pang Tong's old moveset from the PS2 games. He won't need a new weapon, but it's pretty much completely distinct from Zhang Jiao - and it was also super fun to use.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao at least make a small amount of sense, because they were involved in the conflict with Wu following the deaths of their fathers - recapturing the black dragon and taking revenge on Pan Zhang and all that, etc.. They also had a role in a couple of the campaigns against the north. Why we got catgirl and her beau instead of soldiers like Cheng Pu or Yu Jin remains a mystery, of course.

It's pretty similar to why Goemon shows up in Samurai Warriors. Can you elaborate on this folk hero status? I'm genuinely curious, because up to now all I really know is that Guan Suo got an "I'm here too" in the campaign to pacify the Nanman.

I'm under the impression that the Moss-Roberts translation is the best one. I definitely can't recommend the two-volume paperback C.H. Brewitt-Taylor version - the books are riddled with editing errors that can kind of bog down the read.

This talk about Zhang Liao just made me think of something: Do we know what weapon Pang De is going to be using going forward? I was pretty disappointed by the club in Orochi 3, mostly because it lacked his incredible second musou from 7XL. That cavalry charge EDIT: Also he kind of did have the whole twin axes / halberds thing first.

Yeah, I remember a scene in one Wei stage in DW5 where Zhang He destroys a catapult by corkscrewing through it (  ) and then Simy Yi wanders up and talks to him about it.Cao Cao's relationship to Dun and Yuan is mentioned in passing in earlier titles, but I think DW7 is the first game that bothers to explain it. EDIT: My favorite Zhang He scene is probably when he's got Ma Su surrounded at Mt. Dingjun in DW4. He's still got the elegance schtick, but he doesn't sound like Yuri Lowenthal doing an insulting impersonation of the character and his dialogue is more violent metaphor than "oh my gosh I'm so beautiful".

Zhang He was definitely a tough customer. He was one of the Five Generals of Wei, noted for his leadership ability and his talent for adapting to rapidly changing battlefield conditions. Even Zhuge Liang was wary of this resourcefulness and famously described Zhang He as "valorous beyond compare". He went toe-to-toe with Zhang "Everyone in Wu is afraid of this man" Liao and fought him to a standstill. Not really what I would call the attributes and exploits of a useless dandy.

Kraxxukalf posted:I've got a question about DW/Warriors Orochi for you guys, which do you recommend getting to enjoy some local/couch co-op action? The latest DW I played was 6, and while it was kinda mediocre, it allowed you to jump right into coop action in the story mode. From what I can gather, DW7 doesn't let you do this until you've completed the campaign first? But I'm not sure if the Extreme Legends allows this, so any extra input on the differences between these two would be great. You can only play co-op in DW7's conquest mode, unless you also get xtreme legends and load it into the session before you start. WO3 supports co-op right from the start.

ChaosReaper posted:Do the storm rush attacks just happen randomly or is there something you can do to make it happen? I know that having the weapon advantage allows it to be possible but I mean is it like your ex move causes it or what? The little blue icon over their head slowly breaks down until the attack goes off. Hitting their block is the worst way to chip it down, dealing damage is okay, juggling them drops it quickly. I think switch countering might also help, but I haven't bothered to test that.

"A few characters" is kind of an understatement. Many of them got stuffed into one of a handful of generic movesets - Ma Chao, Sun Ce, Zhang He and Tashi Ci all had the same bland, lovely spear moveset, for example. The cloned characters are listed here. That was the thing that pissed me off about 6. I could take or leave renbu, but when you deliberately take a cast of characters in a game that's known for its variety and cram almost all of them into a handful of generic animations it's just stupid.

Also worth noting is the pretty good officer edit. I think SW3 may be the only warriors game other than SW1 to have an officer edit mode on the core game and not in an Empires or XL add-on.
