That doesn't really matter because they're not harder to beat, it's just they have higher damage and longer health bars. Hopefully, DW9 will fix this with better AI like pre-DW6.

Play on Ultimate/Chaos with a low level character. Even with a shit AI, they will land some bullshit Musou attack on you and juggle you to death.
>>
>>378270825
I get what you're saying but it never really feels like the AI is on the same level as you. Rather than making them more aggressive the game just gives them high damage to compensate for them standing around all the time.

The entire Musou format needs a revamp to make it more fun and challenging. And no, SenBas is not different enough to count as a revamp.

The game needs to be harder. They kind of went off the deep end like dragonball z when they have to keep making people so insufferably powerful. Some of the styles they went with kinda throws you off the story and pushes it past the absurdity that can be tolerable. Dynasty Warriors 3 could actually be very challenging on the higher ai difficulty. Yeah, your characters are obviously powerful, but still vulnerable. Made them more human. Now all the the attacks are too flashy. Trying to turn it into an anime. I understand how some people can like the way its going, but Dynasty Warriors 3 sold well because it was intriguing to more people. Imagine that, bringing in more people by making the game challenging. Instead it feels like they listened the to vocal minorities to turn it into a waifu/weeb simulator.

This. I liked the older games more, 2-4. I dislike the current direction both aesthetic and gameplay wise. It's too flashy, too anime, and just too easy and boring. They should really revamp it and slow everything the fuck down a bit but increase the AI aggression, yet they won't because most of the people who play this want an anime kawaii waifu game.

>>378274509

But the problem is that, as the first anon said, the game has already went off to the deep end where everyone is too powerful and mooks needlessly fill the screen. If the devs change the moveset and make every moveset be realistic again, people will bitch how they can't feel like a god mowing waves after waves of enemy.

The best thing they could do is maybe creating another IP like Nioh.

Agreed, in 3 for example you needed to be careful with Guards or Majors, they could fuck you up just like officers and it was dengerous to have them close while fighting an officer.

Right now you can just kill everything easily and regular troops are 100% filler.

You don't even need to pay attention to the regular troops. Even the allied AI just runs right past them unlike in 3 and the older games. Might as well just take them out at this point and make it an officer only fighting game.

Every step they have taken has brought them weaker sales. How can nobody at that company see that it's a failing trend?I fear they are going to try to sucker people in with the 'open world' tag. People never needed that to enjoy what they enjoyed about the series.

Is it strange to want a well fought battle, instead of just letting spergs playout their power fantasies? Instead of making DW #9,10,11.... Create the story about the struggle to be one of the 'Dynasty Warriors'. Actual people who names lived through the ages. Relying on their skill, wit, and sheer power of will to create peace for their people. Through victory and DEFEAT.

Ah nice to see a DW thread today

I would say let them take their time, the longer they take the better it will be. Koei is usually good for doing that.

>>378276285

Wu is the 'badass old man' Kingdom, and they did great with his look. We FINALLY got the 5 Tiger Generals of Wu together in a main game.

Honestly I would've been fine with how he looked from the card game but at the same time its nice Koei is taking it a step further and improving on those desings.

I don't really know who else I would really want aside from maybe new characters in each kindom.

If Women just no lolis. There's a severe lack of enough strong women in the game. Maybe Shu should get one.

If you mashed square right after a charge attack he'd immediately deploy his ice orb as part of the combo. If you did it after the five hit charge he'd yell
"enough" and use a death orb instead.

Shit was cool, he was the only character with it iirc despite half the cast using orbs as their triangles.

Pretty much this.

The only thing that makes him look like a villan is how he talks about his ambition. But he does that as much as shu talks about benevolence.

As they later games even say they were men who followed their paths. Cao Cao believed in his way and thus thought Liu Bei would steer people from his own vision.

He's a villain because he abused the Emperor and basically usurped the Han. Liu Bei is righteous because of his ties to the Han and how he tries to support the Emperor. The games overlook this tho because the chink values are a little weird for a western audience.

It's not about muh benevolence, it's about upholding the empire. That three kingdoms drama did a pretty nice job of showing the difference in thinking between Liu and Cao.

I really hope the game is actually "open world".

The trend of Dynasty Warriors stages becoming more and more a series of corridors in a maze layout with each subsequent release is both terrible game design and fucking infuriating.

If DW9's open world is just a shit ton of corridors and mazes, I am going to be really fucking upset.

Also, make battles feel like actual battles like they did in DW3 and 4 please. Enough of this "your team start the battle with 20% of the troops the enemy does and you're expected to do everything as the player". I miss when NPC generals would actually do shit and make contributions to battles that were actually pretty tough to win.

4 and 5's Xtreme modes have no ending anyway, so if you are playing just to see what's at the end, there is none.

>The trend of Dynasty Warriors stages becoming more and more a series of corridors in a maze layout with each subsequent release is both terrible game design and fucking infuriating.

They probably did it because of laziness. Why try when you know you have a dedicated fanbase that will buy anyways?

Well it could be 10/10 and revitalize the franchise or a DW6 tier disaster.

They are doing it because they somehow thought people play the games for the stories when we just want to murder anything with a red life bar.
Now modern Musou games have the corridors and rooms and are also full of strict time limits due to story events.

Makes you miss the days of them giving you the small story explanation for the stage then just plops you down on one side, the boss on the other, and has you go at it.

Wonder if that's the final hud. Would actually prefer it like that as the later games' huds have gotten so ornate it was getting ridiculous.

I agree I miss the huge stages from 2-4 chock full of allied generals who actually do shit not story related. It's a shame they went forward with such a focus on story and not the gameplay aside from making all the moves over the top.

They do? If you just want gameplay, feel free to play one of the countless anime musou.

In all fairness, 7 was met with very positive reactions because it actually had great story presentation. A lot of praise regarding 7 was specifically about the campaign modes.

I would like the little portrait of the character at the bottom left like they have always done and with that, it would be fine to me.
>>
>>378284456
I think a lot of positive reception over 7 (aside from the higher production values) was due to it coming right after DW6 which most of the fanbase hated. It DID have a good presentation though, but it also started going down the route of map designs resembling the SW series in which stage progress is gated due to story events. Nothing like sitting in front of a closed door while NPCs prattle one for hours about virtue.

>>378284745
Why was DW6 hated so much?

This is also true. I wonder if 9 will be good...

My biggest problem was becoming worse than DW5 and give most of the characters have generic movesets when they were unique before.

Unforgivable crime.

Also Renbu system a shit.
>>
>>378284867
Not enough, sorry.
>>
>>378284765
Changed the gameplay and moveset system making it all feel very light and generic. Every character felt the same to play and it wasn't satisfying. It was the first game where they deviated from the simple combat mechanics from all the previous games.
>>
>>378269969
Why would you want to add more guys to Lu Bu's Irrelevance Crew?
>>
>>378284765
Removed all the old movesets and most of the old character's signature weapons in favor of the Renbu system. Charge attacks were basically removed and you had a light attack and a heavy attack chain that you could not combine together, and the initial DW6 had it so that you had to keep comboing enemy mobs non-stop to build up your full attack chain, and getting hit or not actively hitting anybody would drain your moveset back down to the basics. Attacks had no weight or impact to them either, so it was hard to tell if an enemy was actually taking damage or was blocking your attacks at times.

Only a handful of characters got unique movesets while everybody else were made clones of these handful or were made clones of the generic officers.. or were just completely removed from the game entirely.
A good chunk of the characters had their signature weapons replaced with others, and most of the changes were unwelcome. Xiahou Dun lost his trademark Scimitar for a fucking club, Wei Yan lost his double edged spear and gained a completely useless different club, and Sun Ce even lost his tonfa.

Character designs and weapons also started getting extremely anime and outlandish as well.

DW7 and 8 reverted many things back to the old style, but things like character designs/weapons are still markedly different than the old days. Several characters like Gan Ning and Diaochan still have their changed weapons from DW6 as well (I don't mind Diaochan's whip, but Gan Ning really needs his River Sword back).

They've been porting Dynasty Warriors to PC though. Hell, you can go and download a demo of DW6 from 2008 from File planet as well.

Holy crap how could they drop the ball so bad? Especially considering how good DW5 was?

I've been playing it all week. It's more story focused so unless you care about the Sengoku era, it might not be worth it and I would just stick with SW4/4-II where the focus is on the major battles.

Though SoS has done a good job so far of including battles that are happening in other areas while the Sanada family is doing their shit. I'm enjoying it for sure but I love this era of history so I'm hooked anyways.

It was a huge step down from DW5. They made every like 8 officers clones of each other so there was ALOT of people using the same weapons and movesets and they took iconic weapons from characters and gave them some other bullshit. This was the biggest problem for me because no one felt unique anymore in any way.

So many musou games lately, and I'm still playing them all.

SW5 better revert Ginchiyo's moveset back to her old one though, her new attacks suck.

Who's the worst officer in 4XL and why is it Zhuge Liang?

>weak as shit fans
>low defense
>C3 just creates some shitty ring of light that does barely any damage

Sima Yi blows this guy out of the water

I'm not a hige fan of Musou but I like strategy games, is the latest romance of the three kingdoms any good?

I miss Gan Ning's old musou. Just holding his sword out and running at Mach 5. That stupid flail thing is garbage.

The latest expansion in XIII made it much better. A bit pricey though.

aw man why are they keeping the generic in-camp stance
>>
>>378290304
They might do those camp conversations similar to SW4/4-II.
>>
>>378289465
Personally I think you missed a few good ones in-between but I honestly don't blame you since they can't go 10 minutes without releasing a game.
>>
>>378290685
no I mean the way they're standing, there's three
>the big guy stance (dong, lu bu, other fat guys)
>the normal guy stance (every other dude)
>the girl stance (every girl)

looks lazy af

I think SW4 mostly averts this since they're cutscenes and everyone is constantly waving their arms around or sitting, though I'm not sure for the Sanada game since it has in-camp shit
>>
I bought Dynasty Warriors 8 for PS4 like a year ago. It was Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends. Shit literally looks like a PS2 game. I thought wew, nice, new Dynasty Warriors and got this piece ofshit. Didn't play for a fucking minute, I remember Dynasty Warriors 7 being fucking amazing. It even had better graphics than this piece of shit. What the fuck.
>>
>>378291152
Sanada has em all. Legit cutscenes, the cutscenes that use an absurd amount of DoF, and of course the stereotypical camp conversations.
>>
>>378291261
It's a PS3 port. What did you expect? Seems you only play games for the graphics.
>>
>>378291482
I actually don't. But I expect better graphics from something relatively new I buy on PS4 than the prior installment I played on the PS3 years before. Also, the entire game is set up weird as fuck. There is no proper main story anymore. The whole thing feels rushed, stupid, money grabbing and has no soul. Might as well play 7 again.
