>All of these weapons and they don't want to bring the cool ones back

Why are we even here, just to keep on suffering?
Ryan Harris
Reminder: Zhou Tai is best Wu Wei Yan is best Shu Zhang Liao is best Wei Deng Ai is best Jin Meng Huo is best literally who. Xing Cai is best girl Male Roar is best song.
Ryder Phillips
Shu didn't have official history actually. Zhuge Liang banned the historian position.
Most of the information we have comes from the Records of the Three Kingdoms.
Liam Cook
>That being said didn't Zhuge Liang literally write the historical records of Shu by making shit up and giving little to no sources? No, most of Zhuge Liang's writing didn't even survive. Outside of that one guy on tumblr who has a Shu hateboner to irrational levels I dunno anyone who says that.
Andrew Edwards
Allow him to be executed as he was in history.
Luis Cox
Holy shit, where is the news?
Mason Moore
>Outside of that one guy on tumblr who has a Shu hateboner to irrational levels I dunno anyone who says that. If it's the guy with the huge wall of texts for each character I was basing myself on that since the link to his works had been dropped here. Oh well good to know he's not that reliable.
Robert Harris
He's not completely unreliable, just be wary of the fact that he skews things depending on whether he likes the person or not. Like actively ignoring Pei Songzhi as a credible source when it suits him, crediting a person's subordinates for feats if he dislikes that person and then not doing that if he likes that person, etc.
>The state [of Shu] did not establish a history [bureau[, and no one was in charge of note-taking and record-keeping. Because of this [the records of[ many activities and events are missing, and disasters and anomalies lack documentation.
>While there were individuals who wrote records of events in Shu (such as Chen Shou, Qiao Zhou, and Zhuge Liang himself), none of these were sponsored by the government, nor were there any official government records. >As a result, much of the information regarding Shu comes from the records that Zhuge Liang kept. This has led to much controversy regarding the reliability of these accounts.
Joshua Nguyen
>none of these were sponsored by the government, nor were there any official government records. This is true.
>As a result, much of the information regarding Shu comes from the records that Zhuge Liang kept. This is false. Most of his writings have been lost, and it's not where the information on Shu that we have comes from.
Brandon Brooks
aaaagghhhhh...
liu bei....... help me...
Carson Stewart
I've been looking and there's nothing stated anywhere that Chen Shou got his information on Shu from alternate sources.
Alexander Barnes
Chen Shou literally studied under the aforementioned Qiao Zhou user.
Evan Cox
And in 274 Chen Shou submitted an anthology of Zhuge Liang's writings to Jin's court.
Oliver Jenkins
It's lost now, but not at the time. It was a source used ...though Chen Shou's work has always been argued as being biased towards Wei so this argument has always been odd to me. I do feel like a lot of it is from people like archlich on tumblr who overreacts to Shu's romanticized image in fiction.
Oliver Martinez
Why does no one care about Wu even Koei does a half-assed job of it, Wei has muh ambition, Shu has muh benevolence, Jin has muh we won fuck you faggots, yet I still have no idea what the hell Wu's supposed to stand for in these games
Andrew Peterson
Why hasn't there been a single trailer, bit of gameplay or otherwise depicting english voice actors or otherwise being marketed towards Europe/North America. Did KT forget about us?
Lincoln Bennett
Western release has probably been delayed.
Angel Fisher
>Implying he didn't leave Japan in search of another untold adventure They'll never put him in SW, but he'd be a lot better choice than the waifus and fuckbois they keep churning out.
Jack Collins
Back when SW had solo stories, yeah. Not at this point though.
On that note I want more character/clan-centric spinoffs like Sanadamaru though.
Hudson Miller
So, based on How many clones will we have among this 90-ish roster?
Parker Richardson
>2 clones for every unique moveset At this rate 2/3 of the roster will be clones.
Jason Green
muh honor?
Nathaniel Hill
Family.
Juan Adams
Muh Fire Attack
That used to be the case but the Simas have the best sense of family nowadays honestly.
Blake Howard
Speaking of Sima, I think Jian's wife needs to finally appear if not his other offspring. I've wanted Sun Yi for a while now and his wife could be Wu's Wang Yi.
Parker Rodriguez
30 sounds about right for starting back at square one, honestly. A 90 unique character roster is only possible because they've been lumping more shit onto the exact same ancient foundation for over a decade. Even then, a lot of those "unique" movesets aren't particularly different (for example 90% of characters having de facto the same exact c4.
Matthew Edwards
I don't think Sun Yi needs to be playable for her to work, though then she'd be too similar to Wang Yi perhaps. Wang Yi has an existing character like Ma Chao to direct her whole story towards whereas Xushi doesn't have ties to another established character like that, she is a cool figure but I dunno if she's that good an add.
Sun Jian's wife would be good though. Also Sun Quan's daughters if they ever feel like covering late Wu.
Ethan Harris
I swear fucking DW8E weights the weapon drops to never give you your EX weapon. 5 years in and literally not a single one.
Anthony Ramirez
Kill unique officers that can't return to battle with musou attacks and you get weapons that are mostly EX weapons
Isaac James
I'd like both Sun Luyu and Sun Luban since their storyline would be a good way to portray late Wu's inner drama.
Blake Walker
>implying we'd ever get actual power-hungry bitches They will be little bao nyans instead. Search your heart, you know it's true.
Dylan Adams
They could spin it so that she's still not over his death and looks down on all men. Basically a bitter widow.
It beats Zhu "Flame-broiled" Ran's shtick.
Nicholas Bell
>Why does no one care about Wu
The champ does.
Jacob Lopez
He's not really hating everyone on Shu though, he just hate immoral characters like Ma Chao and Zhang Fei. He does admit that Zhang Fei is a good commander because he able to defeat Zhang He. Hell, even he also admit that Zhuge Liang is a damn good civil administrator, just thinking that Zhuge got over his head by trying to handle military matters, which result a massive disaster to their campaign. He favors Shu people with achievements like Fei Yi, Zhang Ni, Wei Yan, Jian Yong, Jiang Wan, Hou Jun, Huo Yi, Wang Ping, etc .
Alexander Russell
aaaagghhh....
Parker Rivera
You don't really need Luyu for Luban's story to be good. Lu Xun, Sun Quan and Ding Feng were all involved to some degree, and if Koei adds Zhuge Ke (which they should) then he would be a key player too. Sun Jun and Sun Chen could just be UNPCs to round out the conflict.
Landon Powell
I want her to make me orgasm inside her as she chokes me.
Adam Reed
>You don't really need Luyu for Luban's story to be good
Boy I can't wait to see Luban get Luyu, the generic handmaiden who we've seen only once, executed.
Noah Ward
Many people were executed as a result of Luban, not just Luyu.
Josiah Miller
Then swap out Luyu for Ba or He.
Connor Rivera
>have a scenario in my head playing where an OC Wu general who is betrothed to Sun Luyu and are very much in love with each other, is NTR'd away from her by Sun Luban and is instrumental in providing intel on how to frame and execute Sun Luyu
Gabriel Parker
So this?
Jackson Miller
[incoherent screaming about muh 6-2]
Kevin Lewis
>still forcing this meme
it's 6-2 you dumb faglord. I don't remember 7 being a near death of the franchise. Also 6's weapon selection was nothing but spears and swords save for like 4 other types so it was mostly MUH REALISM like 9 is. Fuck off forever and stop posting.
Asher Gutierrez
>comparing literally 8 movesets for the entire cast on top of removing characters and not adding a single one to 30+ and a ton of new adds despite saying they were going to go easy on the adds
Nolan Sullivan
HUAN WO YEI GE TAIIIIIIIIIII PING TIAN XIAaAaAaAaAaAaAaA *bong*
Justin Thomas
Remember that Strikeforce was based on 6 and introduced the weapon switching you love so much.
Lincoln Ward
Why haven't there been Three Kingdoms amvs? It's a great song.
Ryder Ortiz
>i hate dw7anon trying this hard again
it's cute actually, he's so adorably mad.
Jordan Martinez
You're just replacing an unimportant victim with two puppets.
Jaxson Morgan
I dunno, other comparisons aside, I think of DW6 since it's the first one I played that I thought was a massive disppointment. I started with 3 and played every XL/Empires up until then. I mean, maybe 9 will be better than it seems from the previews? The build-up just seems too similar, though.
Lucas King
>tk2010 intro >naruto video
William Collins
Holy shit, the archlich blew you guys the fuck out.
Isaac Cooper
Literally no point to her character if she doesn't have any other heir to quarrel with.
Oh no. This is a Wei general. We'll have none of that green bullshit here.
Kayden Richardson
Of course we're a blue/teal general, but anyone who reads that & archlich will now think we're a green general, and that's fucking hilarious to me
David Long
The mental image of people thinking we're sitting here revering Shu's rapists or something is admittedly pretty amusing.
Henry Moore
>I heard that /eagg/ spends their whole time jerking off to Zhang Fei pedorape doujins
Benjamin Wood
>archlich gives a 4000 word essay on why he hates us and zhang fei, with 3800 words being trigger warnings
Aaron Brown
His reasoning is certainly agreeable, but who actually cares what this literal who says? Shame on whomever reported to their master.
Carson Edwards
reminder if you hate shu your hatred is irrational and you should go back to tumblr :^)

Logan Evans
>muh benevolence isn't tumblr nice try kiddo, but Veeky Forums is wei and reddit is wu
Brayden Peterson
What are they running from?
Noah Long
Nah, tumblr want to make a world of their own design, so they're Wei /eagg/ wants to be benevolently left alone so we're Shu
Luis Sanders
Listen here you FUCKING DISGUSTING pedophile enablers, if you ever come back to my blog and talk about how I'm irrational i'll fucking track down every last one of you and do something... i'm not sure yet...
Carson Wood
We're not so dead that you have to false flag, user.
Jaxson Ward
Please don't do that here. The last thing we need now is big pile of steaming shit on top of an already rotting corpse
Jacob Phillips
Wouldn't focusing on the isolationism aspect make us Wu if you wanted to go for that angle?
Michael Walker
Do you really think anyone is gonna fall for this false flag?
Thomas Sanchez
Name a more perfect man, I'll wait.
Gabriel Clark
Their clones.
People could absolutely fall for it, although possibly on purpose to keep the thread going. The question is more could the falseflagger keep it going, since roleplaying an autist is a full time job.

Jaxson Flores
Everyone always talk about chink's Three Kingdom and nip's Sengoku Jidai, but is there any remotely interesting about Korean's ancient history that is on par with two above?
Christian Wood
I mean, Zhu Ran has more than enough to work with to be cool. He's proof that pretty much anyone has a chance of ending up being a complete fucking faggot when added.
Jonathan Hughes
Nah, there is favoritism in play. He attributes all successes Zhuge Liang had to his subordinates for no real reason other than not liking the guy and then doesn't do that with Xiahou Dun, for example.
All I'm saying is to take what he says with a grain of salt, because he absolutely is biased.
Colton Hernandez
Rader de Crespigny is /ourguy/ tbqhf. He doesn't like Shu either but doesn't deny or reinterpet feats happening if he dislikes a character Can also read chink too which helps, dunno why parts of the fanbase (especially here if anything) feature so much armchair historian-fagging about sources when people can't even read sources
Elijah Harris
For the record, I'm the one who made the image like 3 or 4 threads ago and I'm a big fan of 7. It was never about pissing on 7, it was about saying how similar 9 seems to 7.
Matthew Russell
>mfw Holy fuck, chill your shit.
Andrew Ward
I'm interested in playing the Nobunaga's Ambition games but I wanted to ask how time-consuming they are? They're not like 4k strategy games where you need to dump hundreds of hours just to progress a little are they, because I don't really have the time for that nowadays
Joseph Scott
That's a cute girl. Which game is she from?
Xavier Jenkins
>Irrational implies I don’t have a reason for disliking these people. That’s simply not the case. I can give you clear reasons why I dislike all of the above.
Man he's triggered easily. This is a remarkably autistic rant.
