It's out on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.
It's getting completely torn apart on Steam Reviews, however. I bought the PC version this morning and posted my personal thoughts here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/203126-dynasty-warriors-9/76314512 Gameplay is underneath the quote RX 480 --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

It always gets bad reviews because people who don't like them keep thinking they're going to be different and get mad when the core game mechanics are the same.

Sterling's traditionalist as hell. He doesn't even like the Empires series. Sterling is the series' most high-profile defender. If he thinks it's shit, that's a bad sign. Wish I had listened to him about Warriors All-Stars. I suppose he is a bit traditionalist due to his clear and nonsensical bias against SW compared to DW (and making it seem like he'd never played SW before given what he thought was "new"), but he still at least gave SW 4 an overall good review in the end. ...

You might be waiting a decent while. Story Modes are pretty long and I'll probably do a write-up of sorts once I finish Wu's story mode. Or the very least, a handful of characters including Gan Ning's. There aren't really Kingdom story modes as they're individual again, but they're all part of the same timeline.
So far, first impressions are good. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

So, I lowered the graphics slightly and saw considerable improvement in frame rate.
This is my configuration: I thought I captured footage of Hulao and Lu Bu, but sadly, that's not the case ;_; --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sterling's a bit of an attention whore, tbh.
That's not to say his opinions are completely without weight, but still. I'm playing the game and it's got a few issues, but it's fun. It's got your typical Warriors jankiness. That said, if you only have the base PS4/X1, I'd hold off until they patch them. They're playable, but very rough. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

HW implements 3D Zelda games' fake difficulty of "wait for it!" All the monsters and officers, the best way to kill them is to patiently wait for them to expose their weakness, then attack. It's very passive and boring. Those used to other Warriors games are used to having options to guard-break foes and create your own openings, actively. By far my biggest gripe w/ HW, though I still think it was a really good game. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I heard it plays a little like Elder Scrolls. Not quite. It's still a musou through and through and despite the changes, it very much feels like a DW game. It just has a lot of the typical open world features that you would find in a game like Elder Scrolls. I_Abibde posted...

For the record, I like this game more than 8 if simply for the fact that the AI's more aggressive.
The AI's not always like this, but it's noticeably better than the past two main entries. Also, not every enemy has super armor. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can only imagine what it's like on the base console, and I at least know that people are very upset. It looks perfectly fine, FPS might stutter at times, but never into such low numbers it becomes grating. 60 FPS is far more than we actually need. In truth, my only issue is the new controls for how the movesets work. There was little need for Koei to mess with perfection and for some create something more like Renbu. Also, they really need to fix some button prompts. The execute/finisher button and advance text button prompts work properly, but the "interact" button prompts only shows the default button. Same with the R1 menu, it seems to be static on button placement. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Krow_Incarnate 02/14/18 11:27:08 PM #37: |
Yeah, Koei released a patch today and people are saying performance is much improved.
I agree about the button prompts. Not so much about the system itself or that the charge system was "perfectly good". The current system needs some work, but I think it has a higher ceiling overall. I still maintain that renbu was the best thing for the series moving forward. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nichtcrawler X 02/15/18 8:10:07 AM #38: |
To me, the "Charge System", is Musou. I started with 5, pretty much played every musou released since then, including some older one and some weird spin-off titles just because they were Musou games.
It just feels more clunky, as part of the moveset control has been handed over to the game. A charge move having slightly different effect based on location (the Steele and Lu Su's hark for example), great. The game deciding what moves to use based on enemy placement, not so great. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Krow_Incarnate 02/15/18 11:21:16 AM #39: |
The game doesn't "decide" to do anything outside of the react attacks; you're given control over the enemy's state. That's what the trigger attacks are for.
Also, Koei just completely killed off the Chinese voice and text options for Steam. The Chinese fanbase had already tanked it's review system and now they've completely hijacked it lol Not gonna lie, I won't bother defending that. You had to go the extra mile to actually enable the Chinese options, they could've just kept it "hidden", but nope. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yep, the combo chains seem to change after using the trigger attacks, but not as consistently as I'd expect from the way people describe. They also seem to randomly apply elemental effects to the normal attack chain once in a while. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! ... Copied to Clipboard!

No, the elements aren't random and yes, the flow attack adjusts to the state of the enemy after a successful trigger attack and they will also absorb the element of that trigger attack. --- Hail Hydra ...

I bought the game because of your other topic and I regretted it at first, but after the patch and 3 story playthrough (sun jian, lu bu, dong zhuo), I'm finally starting to understand the nuances of the game and how To make it more enjoyable and I'm really having fun

I would kill to have attack speed buffs on my lightning gem. could always do the cheat'y kind of thing and go to one of those fishing spots where it's easy to get the best coin and fish up 600 of them and buy 6 of the epic wind gems to have crazy fast attack speed <_< I might do it sometime if I feel like fishing for a bit (maybe would take 50-60 fish bait at southeast guanying (maybe guanying?) port)... but It might cheapen the experience a bit to get those gems because every character would just be super fast attack spamming lol Although, I already did buy guan yus epic weapon and the accessory that makes it so you can't get flinched by attacks at all (super armor woo!).. might as well go get 6 epic wind gems and the epic experience up accesory as well <_< ...

Nothing spectacular in terms of scenes and I didn't really like how they played, lu bu disappointed me. I especially wish the end scenes actually mentioned their deaths, sun jians was literally just finding the seal in the well and then the end. Dong zhuo had the best ending out of the three because he was getting with all his bitches and then lu bu walks in and it does a close up of his spear and cuts to the credits. I'm now playing as Guan Yu and I really like how he plays a LOT more than the other 3 so far ... Copied to Clipboard!
