german pages like amazon.de and some others says still release date 25th ? maybe cause the game produced in germany? would be great cant wait for it :D
That's what I'm trying to say since the first time someone brought up the delay. Only the UK seems affected, all the french websites/retailers I know will be selling it on the 1st April.
I noticed that too from the first delay we have gotten.
It never changed from the 25th.
I just called some shops in my city (Koblenz), and they all say still the 25th.
It would be a big surprise, if it indeed comes on the 25th in Germany.
However, that could mean, that the German-version is a bit slim/slender, or?
But i don't know, if i will be so happy like everytime.
I guess i will not enjoy the game for 100%, since i have to think often about Japan.
For someone, whose actual home country was hit by such a disaster in 99, i feel too much sorrow by now. Can no longer watch the news in the TV.
Sorry to sound a bit depressing. Try to "mood swing".

i can only hope it does good in the united states

I guess, that the sales could have been higher, when everything would be "normal" in Japan. I'm even surprised, that it sold so much.
DW7 stands not under a lucky star. Some delays, and not to mention the disaster on the release day.
OK, failed by trying "mood swing" for now.

I ain't getting my hopes up, I don't think any Warriors game can recreate the magic of DW3, especially since for me it was my first. But hey, from the looks of it DW7 is turning out to be a great Warriors game, so there's that at least.

That and it's looking to have the difficulty of DW3....OP archers again, enemies actually attacking you from behind (Going back to DW3 is a pain because you'll be attacking some guy, all the while another guy is sneaking up behind you and you can't turn because this was before you could turn around during your attack chain, and then as soon as you finish your chain BAM, sword in the back) and all that jazz.

If they play their cards right in DW 8 [off the gate] I'm sure the ratings and sales will go up. I think if they get a good 5 years between DW 7 and 8 and just keep DLC rolling here and there with 7, they could make DW 8 please many people on all aspects in the game, being historical accurate, real kingdom mode that doesn't need pre determined characters, classic free mode, and conquest mode. Though I doubt the voices will please any one, as every just claims the japanese voices are perfect so yea. Then with the 5 years they will finaly/hopefully figure out how to have no clones and yes I repeat it is possible. I look at the youtube videos I don't see many americans liking half of the stuff and not understanding Koei really only the people on this site know a lot about DW 7 though I could be wrong. People have high expectations in Kingdom(Reality it's a 4 person story mode)mode.

I'm still excited to play DW 7 myself because I really don't want to be looking at a dao so I'll just use Lui Bei first and I'll also understand what's happening in conquest mode and story mode.

:ot: Now I'll forewarn people when they post their disagreement, IDGAF lol, I notice people will "counter attack" my post then feel like an hero if I don't respond lol... all I have to say is good luck
Lol...it's like you're calling yur haterz out... :shifty:

I mostly agree with what you said. If DW8 is gonna be great, it should ride on the success of a game that has established its own greatness (hopefully, DW7). This is not too dissimilar from the COD franchise of recent years. Every game in the franchise has kept building on the success of the one before it and look where we're at now? IGN.com just did a news article on the fact that 1 in 8 US households owns COD: Black OPs. That's like (at least) 3 people on my street!! :facepalm:

I think KOEI should treat DW7 like Criterion did with Burnout Paradise: steady stream of add-on content, new missions, new modes, new characters, etc. etc. That way KOEI will keep fans interested while, as you said, ironing out the kinks in the franchise...

Btw guys the thing that got postponed due to the earthquake was the BGM pack that was due for release on the 17th. No other DLC was affected.

Google translate is also saying the Scythe is a "new set of weapons" on the DLC page.

Well he order to have a good narrative for kingdom mode choices kinda have to be limited. I don't want a dw4 kingdom mode thing returning. However, characters should at least get one stage of screentime. Like I said preivously Da Qiao at Xu Chang and finds out her husband is dead. Xiao at Chibi. Zhou Tai at Yiling, Lian Shi and Ding Feng at Dong Kou and then have a few more stages. That's all that needed to be done.

Hopefully dw8 will remedy this.

So the scythe/dagger-axe/battle spear of Yue Ying makes it return.
All I can say is ABOUT TIME. :facepalm:

Though I do have a question... Has it been confirmed she will be wielding
the weapon?
I hope it actually goes to her, and Koei doesn't pull some stupid stunt and give it to like some character that couldn't pull it off. :hmmm:

No news on anyone wielding it yet, it could just be a new set of weapons + Conquest stage. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough whether its a second EX for her or just a 3 star.

Does anyone else hate the feeling of not being able to afford the game when it comes out because of taxes/payments due?

I know a lot of you are the younger crowd, but I always have this feeling of dread that I'd have to wait longer for the game because I need my money for living. H888

Yes or like the way I said it in the complaints thread I think you saw it.


I'm sure DW 8 will remedy Kingdom mode but Idk I'm really not getting my hopes up on anything Koei says until I play DW 8 or see it in action like I saw DW 7.

Yeah. My hype is already through the roof, even after watching various videos and being well-informed about the game. Well, I guess it's the proof that this time, it will be completely awesome.

Warrior games always had a typical japanese feeling you could never get elsewhere. Tons of content, tons of difficulty if you push it, a lot of big flaws, but some incredible qualities. I'd qualify them as a raw diamond, shining in a time where games are usually over in 6-7 hours with poor replay value other than online multiplayer (and do I hate playing online, a console is something you should share with a friend face to face, and I shall play DW7 like that).

The biggest kink in the franchise is every single major gaming publication except famitsu and destructoid scores it an automatic 4/10 or 5/10 as soon as it shows up

So true. The moment a warriors game or anything koei shows up in the east, reviewers will give it dismal scores.

I do actually want to see more videos but I only need to see more ma dai gameplay and I can be contend.

Its certainly true that Warriors games usually score dismally among western reviewers, but Koei doesn't exactly try hard to drum up appeal int he west either.

Tecmo on the other hand, does a decent job with appealing to western gamers. Though I'm not entirely certain how involved Tecmo is with Koei's side of the company... The fact that there are even preorder bonuses (even if just for the UK) in the west is a decent start.

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep
read sun quan's biography
or if you can read chinese, check out this post
it has all the reference from SGZ
Here's an excerpt, the encoding might be messed up
备、瑜等复追至南郡,曹公遂北还,留曹仁、徐晃於江陵,使乐进守襄阳。时甘宁在夷陵,为仁党所围,用吕蒙计,留凌统以拒仁,以其半救宁,军以胜反。…………十四年,瑜、仁相守岁馀,所杀伤甚众。仁委城走。
http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=922843925
Well I can't read Chinese and I've only just found a biography for Sun Quan in English. It doesn't mention anything about Cao Ren's forces being inferior, nor does it mention anything about Guan Yu's participation.

To quote Sun Quan's SGZ:
"In the 14th year [209], Zhou Yu and Cao Ren had been guarding for over a year and very many had been killed and injured. Cao Ren gave up the city and fled."

That sounds like a victory to me.
It's a pyrrhic victory...and in Cao Ren's biography, you can infer that the wei army is much inferior in number
as when wu's vanguard (several thousand) arrived, and Niu jIn's 300 was surrounded, Chen Jiao said to Cao Ren:"the enemy number is too strong, can't be matched, instead of letting you go into danger, let's just give up those few hundred men." (矫等共援持之。谓仁曰:“贼众盛,不可当也。假使弃数百人何苦,而将军以身赴之!”)
and for Guan Yu's involvement, you have to check Li Tong's biography
A pyrrhic victory is still a victory.

Just as Cao Ren's biography infers a small number of Wei troops, Gan Ning's bio clearly states that Cao Ren sent five or six thousand troops to beseige Gan Ning at Yiling. Taking into account that Cao Ren also had to contend with Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, and Ling Tong; that five or six thousand was likely less than half of his total troop count.

And as for Li Tong's bio, it does nothing to suggest Guan Yu cut Cao Ren's supply line; only that he had "been dispatched to make a secret attack from a northern path."
That means Cao Ren has around 20,000 troops max
Zhou Yu had 50,000, yet it took a year, and suffered heavy casualties
it shows doubt abot his general ability

Ugh I'm starting to not like how they combined the level's names, because every time someone says Chibi I'm wondering "Who the hell did I piss off now? Oh, they're talking about the level Chi Bi... curse you Koei!"

I suppose I should be honored, to share the same screen name as that level. Even though I'm not a fan of it.
