:ot: You didn't really almost die on your birthday did you? Glad you're okay though. I had a friend who passed on his sis birthday, bless her. I miss that smile of his. :sad: Try not to get down whenever your b-day rolls around.
Haha, no, no. :lol: I went camping and kayaking on my birthday and it was...a dangerous experience, to say the least. Kayaking and heavy rain out in the near middle of the ocean is a big no-no. Thank goodness for lifejackets.

Back on topic, I wonder when we'll be getting any of the special DLC costumes, or any of the Ambition Mode themes. At the rate they want to release it, I'd say a good two or three months. Maybe four. It's gonna be a loooong wait.
Oh ok, still glad you're okay though, kayaking has never been my cup of tea, can't imagine being in that scenario. :wacko:

Did you complete Ambition mode for the Japanese theme, or did you give up on it lol, I think they would at least give us the themes and costumes at least, we're getting ps3 themes so I say it's entirely possible to get those too.

I would love to get more themes. Most of the themes (except the military base one) were actually really cool. They should have had more themes available to unlock in the standard game to give us something to strive for.

I wish there was a way to tell Koei to get better DLC release schedules. Getting things DLC late after most people have already finished the game isn't a smart move. The only thing that really matters when you finish the game are the DLC stages I guess, but even then its still a bad idea because most people will trade their games in.

I wish they had the Japanese voice option already, kind of tired playing the game with the volume turned down while my bedroom door is open. The things some of them say is so corny it's kind of embarrassing. Ma Chao being one of the worst. "Vile villains! Honor! Justice! I shall impale you! ...with my spear! ...o-of righteous...ness!" :facepalm:
And don't even get me started on Zhang Jiao <_<

For me the cheesiness of it is part of the fun, volume down? Never! Raise it, I say!

Whoever plays Zhang Jiao is pure genius. He's been amazingly consistent since ( I think) 3.

I think he and the Japanese voice actor have way too much fun with that voice. At least that's how it sounds to me lol.

Only redeemer might be if they pick up the pace after this month/the updates are big.

It must be the translating which takes so much time to get the DLC released over here. Still i only get paid once a month so splashing out on DLC monthly suits me down to a T i guess.

Guys, the BGM Pack 2 is on Live for 160M$ which includes 2 Tracks. I think I'll wait for the next Stage or Costume pack thank you. :P

It really wouldn't. It's probably either laziness or not a very big priority for them tbh.

I'm presuming the two DW8 exclusive new tracks for this DLC are Like A Dancer and Synch Chords following on from the last two DLC BGM.

Still, this has yet to appear on the PlayStation Store over here.

Looking at the JP DW8 DLCs, I think the only things worth buying are the stages and original costumes. It seems idiotic to be buying old costumes every new installment. I bought all the old costumes for DW7, there's no way I'm buying it again for DW8. Plus, DW8 default costumes are pretty good designs anyways. Having finished the story mode, and the Ambition Mode, I'm really pulling my patience to be willing to play the game to check out each character's dialogues. With that, DLCs are probably going to be a bit late for me. I probably won't even think about buying them anymore by the time we get those DLCs in the West.

Not even interested in original costumes either personally. Weapon Skin and Stage packs i will invest, maybe DLC weapons and at a push some BGM but compared to DW7 i just dont feel the DLC is anywhere near as essential with everyone decloned and Ambition mode being less addictive to me as Conquest mode was (long grinding sessions for materials against generic captains is not my idea of a fun time sink).

Still having fun in the meantime trying to get all the fifth weapons for everyone but once thats done i feel it will be only stage DLC that i even go back to the game. Even the leveling up is dull this time round, you can buy levels in ambition mode but most of all i miss the grinding rewards of the skill trees from DW7... it actually encouraged usage of each individual character.

About the Custom Theme Set, it's basically just battles that are out of context with each kingdom's storyline? Is there any additional or unique dialogue, or is it basically a brawl on some battlefield that didn't make it into the storyline and there's nothing really special about them?

I'm balancing the length of time I'll play this game while I wait for the DLC that's due to come out. The problem I had with DW7 is I rammed through the game like no tomorrow all within the space of a month, before realizing all the DLC started coming out for ages afterwards, rendering it practically useless for me.

I do intend to go back on 'Story Mode' on Chaos Difficulty (playing it through Hard mode at the moment) so I should have a decent balance of time put into the game since I play loads of other games anyway.

On the other hand I say, get a move on Koei!

Considering that the had a reason to charge for them this time (The old costumes were reworked with new graphics) so I doubt some people would mind paying for them again. The changes to the textures really were of much benefit.

A month? Wow. Games don't last more than a week with me, usually. It'd probably be helpful to have more than one game, like one for a different console so you can switch back and forth effectively cutting down on the time you spend playing one game so that it doesn't go by too fast.

Exactly the same here.
I've just finished Wu's story mode and the only things left for me to do in Story mode is the What-if path for Wu and the Jin Kingdom. I'm gonna wait for the DW6/5 costume packs first before I'll touch Gree Mode and Ambition Mode again. Going through 100 battles straight without changing your character is such a drag, at least I'll be using a different outfit. ><

Where the PHUCK are the PS3-themes :angry: ? I know the US has gotten them yesterday, but there is nothing in the german store. Only that BGM pack 2.
