Buy DW 8:XL or wait

Hello

I havent played dynasty warriors since dw empires 5, and what I found out was that I really loved the Empires series, and the "normal" ones was okay, didnt play it too many times.

I have read that DW 8:XL has a mode called ambition mode that are similar to the empires series, just stripped down.

I guess all of you that reads this knows a little better than me, so my question is.

Should I buy DW8: XL or wait for DW8: Empires?

Thanks for your time

If you prefer the Empires games, might as well wait for empires.

The new Ambition Mode is only Empires in the sense that you recruit various generics and playable characters and choose a handful of them to take into battle with you. That's where the similarities stop.

You're just replaying the same stage over and over again (taking over bases, sure, but it's not as cool as it sounds) until the percentage reaches 100% and then you move on to the next region. Any allies who die in the battle (and the AI is awful, so many will die, all the time) you lose and you have to go and recruit them again.

It's fun up to a point, just like ever other secondary mode Koei has ever introduced. If you're looking for a more Empires like games, just wait for Empires.

i think, you should wait, but, the lu bu story is very nice.

dw8empires however will probably be the best empires game thou... heehee judging by the ambition mode in xl.
but, if u want the dw8 set, then why not buy dw8xl, off psn when it drops in price? (if it does)

If you only like the empire, then wait. Ambition mode is pathetic compared to it.

That aside, have you actually tried DW7 yet? Koei's storytelling has improved compared to their PS2 DW game and the vanilla DW7 & 8 game is worth a try for that.

Just like everyone saying....if you love the empire series, wait for it. DW8XL ambition mode or "empires mode" sucks and it gets pretty annoying. If one of officers dies in battle, then you have to recruit him or her again and they die pretty easily, so......you may want to wait.
