alllright
ran to eb and back to work in 15 mins
showtime! buzhao ma is going to kick some ass when i get home
and still im not a fan of removing special charge moves, since i didnt play dw6 i never had to deal with it, only since i played strikeforce, but hopefully ill get used to just mashing square mindlessly
You dropped the 360 version?
Booā¦I gotta wait a few more days.
Iām sure Iām gonna spend the first 30-45 minutes just making my first CAW.
ya i bit the bullet and didnt get the 360
considering the KOEI pro on IGN said it lags less, as did the people you mentioned on forums
and like i said, my hands are better suited to DW games through the sony controller, the buttons seem easier to press than the 360 ones
and if it was onlineā¦ we could play together =*(
I know manā¦I know.
I hope the next installment, Koei considers online coop. I mean they put online vs. in DW:G2.
ya i have no idea
i honestly thought that this would have online, like how can you step down from your previous games? its like how alpha 3 had 3 different meters, and then the next sf game would have no meters
but koei is good at jerking us like that
Yeahā¦so Iāve read.
Some Koei fans say that DW6:Empires is a step down from previous Empires games due to the fact that Seige Weapons, Free Mode are removedā¦and there is a limit of 15 soldiers per army. Most are the same people who got mad that DW6 didnāt have Zuo CI, Jaing Wei, Da Qaio, Xing Cai, Meng Huo, Zhu Rong, and Pang De.
Personally I wouldnāt really understand because Iāve never played an Empires game beforeā¦but so far the reviews are pretty good.
ya i dont know why you would want a free mode if stats are reset after every empire game?
that was the whole point of free mode, to grind exp and levels, so its pretty pointless
and those characters arent that big of a loss, i did like zuo ci though, but since they removed charge moves, he isnt the same
also ive never played 6 so i have no idea about siege weapons, doesnt seem like a big deal to me in that way
you will enjoy this game, i guarantee, its the first dynasty game im playing in HD, so im hoping for the best!
EDIT: well i do like it, but the fighting will get boring quickā¦ you really dont have much options when fighting, either grapple, or attack cause charge moves suck
also items wise and weapon upgrades wise, doesnt seem like a lot. just a bunch of different skills that dont seem that helpful, but im playing it fresh, so that might change the more i look into it.
its a good fun game, but its not empires 5
Itās being developed straight up by Koei Canada. Definitely more Western than Omega Force.
Koei Canada also developed Fatal Intertia though :wasted:
Trailer footage looks āmehā imo. I sure as hell donāt play the Warriors games for gritty realism. Even in Bladestorm, charging with a group of horses came with some flashy anime-bullshit pyrotechnics/effects, lol.
Imported me some Musou Orochi Z. Just cracked it open to make sure the game was in there, havenāt had time to play it yet.
Yeah, these games are at their best when theyāre all over the top. I mean, youāre playing a single man and taking on an entire army by yourself. Ham it up a little and go overboard with the flashy! Thatās what makes DW so awesome ^_^.
Got DW6: Empiresā¦been playing it all day.
Itās quite fun actually. Started off as a vagrant (Xaihou Dun style), and was working under an unknown guy. After some 15 or so odd missions, I decided to defectā¦only to lose to timeout.
Now Iām with Sun Jian, oathed with Pang Tong and Cao Ren, and already inf. Renbu style.
Oh, and the babysitting mission make it hard for me to do the side questsā¦especially guarding Cao Wenji. Wish that broad would fight back.
Whatās sad though is that after all my time playingā¦Iāve onlty gotten 1 trophy.
I actually like the missions for the change of pace, but that bitch moves so slow.
Also, doesnāt wind just break guard or something? The manual specifies the effects of the fire, ice, and electricity seal, yet not the wind seal. 
Wind increases the range of your weaponā¦
LOL my nephews got me hooked on DW3. Iām loving the fat guy, whatever his name is. I wanna buy 6 so bad now. Between SF4 for PC coming out and now getting into these awesome action strat games Iām not going to have any time to devote to my other hobbies. :tup:
prepare to be bored by the combat in 6
they removed the charge special attacks
so you cant do attack, attack, charge or attackx4 -> charge anymore
everyone just has a basic attack that you keep doing until you run out of enemiesā¦ definitely a lowpoint to me when ive been so used to charge specials since dw3
sad sad times
I wish theyād bring DWBB stateside.
That sucks. How the hell do you PLAY it, then?
well as long as you keep up a chain by attacking enemies, you dont stop attacking
cause as you know, anything pre-dw6 had a maximum of 6 attacks before you stop, or more if you have the evolution attack a la dw5 (i think)
so you keep mashing square until your fingers bleed
and if they block, hit triangle for a boring charge attack, or guard + square for a grab
i miss the times when they had a unique charge attack for every character, like huang gai throwing fucking bombs, motherfucking bombs, or ma chaoās air charge psycho crusher
i cant even imagine how boring zuo ci would be under the new system, he had the sickest charge moves, the laser ground stomp, vortex cannon, air charge fireball glide and his standing charge elemental exploding balls reminiscent of m.bison in mvc2 as per domination here [media=youtube]w-kEj-HDWFA[/media]
i pray to god koei goes back to the original battle system, it would have made this game so much more better
also anyone notice how fucking huge red hare is in 6empires? holy shit haha
Red Hare looks like heās on the JUICEā¦but damn if heās fast.
I unified China finally under Sun Jian, my CAW was maxed out, and I earned a bunch of powerups when doing mercenary mission, and got an achievement for beating the Yellow Turban campaign.
Also, I get bonus points for completing obljectives like getting married, completeing a stage without taking damage, get 1000 KOās on your horse, get fewer than 100 KOās in a victory.
Yeahā¦lots to do.
Alsoā¦I can keep my upgraded weapons and bought horses whenever I start a new campaign by going to bonuses, and selecting āKeep Weaponsā and āKeep Horsesā.
Next Iām going to play as Zhao Yunā¦
keep horses and keep weapons is the best part of this game hahaha
I think it isā¦especially if you want to beat Master and Chaos modes.
I tried it once freshā¦and got owned hard.
Regardless if you keep your weapons/horsesā¦you start at lvl1. I donāt know if the weapons stay lvlāed up and keeps its abilitiesā¦Iāll find out later today.
