Fuck, man...I'm gonna miss him and his laugh. ...in other happier news, English localization of DW8 is more or less confirmed. https://twitter.com/RichardEpcar/status/311215186096820224 Edited by Nova Zero, Mar 12 2013, 06:54 AM.

Welp, I just bought Musou 7 today since Musou NEXT pissed me the fuck off with its retarded touch screen gimmicks. Haven't played a Sangoku Musou since 2 so I'm looking forward to however they've ruined Chinese history by inserting completely fictional generals and moe kyun girls who would have had absolutely no place on the battlefield. |

It's mostly Shu who has that problem. It gives off the idea that Koei's a bunch of Shufags. Spoiler: click to toggle

Well, shit, I only said it out of spite/as a joke and it's actually accurate? Last I remember, Zhang Fei got a fictional daughter added in too... ironic how the actual godson Guan Yu has is the most shafted. |

Well, she was added in 5, and she wasn't moe moe, which I guess is good, though she was one of the weaker characters in that game, and was so insignificant that she didn't appear in DW6. She started being playable again in 7 with a moveset that was kind of boring, but had an useful autoguard feature. Also, Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao, who really did exist, is playable in 8 though. But yeah, all in all, the newest Shu officers in 8 are basically more of Papa Guan and Zhang's kids.
Yeah, actually. It sucks, especially since he isn't all that bad a guy, design and gameplay-wise. Edited by Nova Zero, Apr 10 2013, 04:16 AM.

To be fair, RotTK was WRITTEN by a Shufag. And despite this, I've almost never cared much about the Shu side. The only characters I've ever played with it for any length of time are Zhao Yun, Guan Ping, and Xu Shu since they added him in DW7 (Xu Shu IS pretty freakin' awesome). The next-gen Shu characters actually hold more interest for me than most of the primary ones. Wu has always been my preferred choice, followed by Wei (Xiahou Dun is probably my 2nd fave behind Gan Ning). I only got to mess with DW7 a little, but there's a decent few of the Jin side I like, such as Sima Zhao & Guo Huai. Plus, 8 seems to have really gone balls-out with the weapons here, especially for the Jin guys. Here, see for yourself: Wu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_hK5HtfQj4 Wei: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz2eR4vntnI Jin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX2dUfULh4A Shu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8S6pd_RFmE Other: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDsuxvY9_Rs I mean, Xiahou Ba has a rocket-propelled pile bunker, and Huang Gai uses a freakin' METAL CANOE...which he surfs over you on. |

@ Anata Well, my only motivation for getting the game was that I was bored of waiting, Musou NEXT on the Vita's gimmicks piss me off because I just want to play a Musou game, and the Shousei mode looks pretty damn fun (start out as a lone general, conquer China with RPG stats, collecting weapons and stuff, kinda like the dream team mode in Hokuto Musou). @ Nova If the character creation option isn't available, I usually stick to Guan Yu so... I don't really mind in that regard XD @ Lowe Yup, Shufags all around, but Liu Bei was revered as the greatest, most compassionate leader of that era so it's kinda hard to write about anyone else, since the whole anti-hero thing didn't become popular until, oh, maybe a few decades earlier. Personally, I only really like Guan Yu as a fighter, and Zhuge Liang for being the biggest troll ever in Chinese history. |

Never cared much for Shu either. Was more of a Wufag, myself, and thanks to having seen DW7's story, I stopped hating Wei and just plain rooted for Jin because I could not feel for Shu at all. In terms of character usage, my mains in Wu were Zhou Tai, Shangxiang and either Da or Xiaoqiao, though I did like using Zhou Yu and Gan Ning. For Wei, I liked using Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia, Xu Huang and Cao Pi. For Jin, Guo Huai and Sima Zhao, with Wang Yuanji being a personal favorite. Admittedly, I enjoyed using Guan Yu and Zhang Fei because they had fun Musous, and I found myself using Yueying and Xingcai for a long while. Also thinking that maybe the new Shu kiddies might be fun to use, too. I guess I'm just a bit bothered by the fact that the new additions to Shu are no one else but the kiddies. Interesting tidbit: Guan Xing and Zhang Bao use their fathers' weapons for one of their Musous, which I think is kinda nice. Edited by Nova Zero, Apr 10 2013, 05:27 AM.

Of the new guys, Wen Yang is the one I'm most excited for, since I love spear fighters, and being able to chuck the spear at people amuses me to no end. Lu Su & Yue Jin look to be fun as well. And while I know most people will give Gan Ning either Sun Jian or Sun Quan's sword to make him feel more like his old self, I'm probably gonna give him Huang Zhong's bow, since he WAS supposed to be an epic archer. And quite frankly, the Meteor Hammer is so badass that I don't really care about his old sword any more. XD Edited by Lowe Gear, Apr 10 2013, 06:54 AM.

If I ever use Gan Ning, I might probably give him the Chain Sickle. I mean, it might feel redundant since he's using a Flail, but I found the Chain Sickle weapon was more fun on Gan Ning than it was on Jia Xu. Might be because Gan Ning hits so hard. Also looking forward to using Jia Chong, too. For Shu, I guess Guan Xing and Yinping, too, just because their weapons look fun/weird and quite frankly, everyone else on Shu is boring and uninteresting. |

I dunno, I thought Xu Shu was a blast to play. Dude's like a combination of a Jedi & Scorpion from MK. |

Welp, 5 days ago Lu Bu killed my level 2 Guan Yu in 2 hits on the second Shu mission. Apparently you're not supposed to win this fight, but I fucking hate losing so I snapped and started Shousei mode. My Guan Yu is now L99 with 2 rank 4 Qingyuedao both with the highest rank attack elemental effects I could find, and I raised Guan Yu's default attack power to 999, fully equipped with attack boosting skills (1098 attack total). In this state, pretty much ALL generals die in 1 weak sweep hit from Guan Yu. Last night, after I finished grinding at about 4am, I went back and faced off Lu Bu again and finally killed him after smashing him with THREE fucking Musou Ranbu and then activating Kakusei Ranbu for good measure. The asshole's tough as shit, but impossible? No. Fuck you, Koei, I WILL play my Sangoku Musou how I want. ... Two weeks from now, because I'm flying to Italy today >.> |

Wait, you were Lv 99 with max attack power and it took you 3 musous and an Awakened Musou to down Lu Bu at Hulao Gate. Damn, they weren't kidding when they said Lu Bu's scary strong again. Edited by Nova Zero, Apr 14 2013, 10:31 PM.

Oh yeah, you're apparently supposed to either cheapass him with long range weapons that knock him down or come back with max stats, since he drops a Shenlong Qingyuedao for Guan Yu (Unique rank 5, 51 attack power) when you defeat him before 14 minutes are up. So I guess I accidentally Shu's storyline legitimately XD |

So Hulao Lu Bu is a bit OP. Tried to kill him on Shura mode and he 1 shot Guan Yu with something like 2400 defense (with the defense item thing active...). Funny thing, even bashing him with 3x Musou, a Storm Rush, Kakusei Ranbu -> Musou again couldn't hurt him more than like 10%. Guess they REALLY don't want players defeating him without resorting to cheap shit weapons (ie Senpuu element multi-hit weapons). |
