managed to play for awhile

bad point
- no online coop. tough luck
- still no actual game support. Like their previous port, you need to manually remap the gamepad buttons.
- only few DLCs are included, as expected.
- got few crashes and bugs (game hangs, infinite loading, cannot move after Alt+Tab)

good point
- graphic is nice, even though based on PS3 version
- 60 fps during gameplay. cutscenes still 30 fps
- game is awesome XD

There is not really any real DLC for the game anyway, and why bother. (Ambition mode scenery only good)
The only thing they remove is online coop... You should try local coop see if it gives good frame rates at night.

Wait, so I cant play with friends on steam?

nope, only local splitscreen coop.

Hmm heard got Bloom/SSAO tweaks etc but I cant find the program haha

check the community hub, got people post ENB for this game

whats ENB?

hows the game? you leveled up everyone already?

I tried a test run in Free Mode, holy shit the officers have heavy armor is it? Why they dont flinch at all? It was Normal difficulty. I always start Normal difficulty, but damn, I think if lvl 1 chars, must start under Easy.

graphic modifiers. like the one people used for Skyrim.

still on Shu story mode, now at Tianshi. on normal. just level up on your own pace.

Why dont they flinch when I hit them? Like those generic officers got super armor...is it because wrong affinity? Got "!" above their head in red

Means I must hit them with Earth weapon? (gree)

since blue > green > red > blue

if got ! on their head, means wrong affinity, need to switch weapon with other affinity.

ugh i hate the infinite loading..

Otherwise the gameplay's pretty good. using keyboard. its better if u have a controller

cant get my generic usb logitech controller (with Xinput files) to work. zzz dw7 works perfectly fine. i pasted the .dll to the exectuable directory in Steam folders but it is not detecting.

found the fix

Anyone seen the Steam tag for this game?

"Do not pursue" and "Chinese genocide simulator" is 2 of it that is highly voted.

I am confused about the mechanics of this game. Looks so complicated than the last series. And it seems like they went with over the top huge weapons now.

Anyway, I have a question. I can choose character at each battle, does it mean that I don't have to level individual characters now?

It's more about what abilities I unlock and what weapons I collect?

And what about being able to choose different weapons? I take that the weapon slot 1 is the preferred weapon of a character, but for weapon slot 2, is there another preferred weapon I should choose or I can go with any weapons at all that I fancy?

no, each character has their own level and you need to level them up personally.

you can put any weapons in both weapon slot. you don't even have to put the preferred weapon aka EX weapon for the character. each character has compatibility rate for each weapon type, from 1 being lowest (no bonus damage) and 4 is the highest (max bonus damage, bonus ability if unlocked).

You unlock more moves by leveling up. The older games you had to have a higher tier weapons to be able to do more Charged moves, but in this game u need to just level up ur char.

Also Guan YiPing is ridiculous with her second EX. It boosts her attack and speed x2 ayy lmao

Anyone know how to order your bodyguards in Ambition Mode to do their special command? Like Ambush, Forage, assist Allied units etc? The d-pad buttons only let them defend or attack

Pause -> Command Bodyguards

I see. Lol I got some warriors' 5th weapons from normal drops in Story Mode playing Normal, wtf!? Is that supposed to happen?

The weapon has like 1 huge gold star at the top, I'm assuming that's the 5th tier?

I got some with 2 huge gold stars also, so that's the 6th tier?

that's rare weapon. each tier got one unique weapon with different background and unique name.
