60 of 216 · most liked firstGreat game, probably my favorite in the series. But when I see 'Complete Edition', I expect all the DLCs to be included. Can't help but feel scammed by this. 7 didn't do that so someone must've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up when porting this version. I'd still recommend it, but just be aware you have to get the DLCs separately.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic entry to the series but I don't recommend this version/port for the following reasons: DLC is purchased separately for a non insignificant amount of money when the Definitive Editions include them with the base game and price. Controller support is bad. There are no controller icons natively, no vibration, and the analog stick controls feel like they have gigantic deadzones or their ranges got pushed way outside the normal. I was able to make it bearable by forcing steam input and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best dynasty warrior games but this port is so incredibly terrible. I've got over 600 hours and platinumed it on PS4 and absolutely loved it Buggy, errors when launching the game, PS3 Textures and no support for higher than 1080p unless you use zmod Get it on console for a much better experience. I was able to play this game a while back but now I've gotten "CreateSoundDevice fail" despite checking numerous steam posts to fix it and trying them I'm still unable to actually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*Avoid and wait for the DW 3 Remaster.* I picked this up, after some confusion around the numerous editions (they've never kept it simple) and immediately my biggest issues is that (A) Hu-Lao Gate is completely unrecognisable and loses all the nostalgic vibes that made it great in the older games, and (B) all characters are all ready unlocked, so I've basically just paid to have somebody else complete the game for me. The screen composition is off; all your characters feel fat, and the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DLC for Dynasty Warriors 9: 20$ and we'll give you a handful of "new" weapons that should've been in the game in the first place. DCL for Dynasty Warriors 8: 10$ and we'll give you a bunch of new weapons, a bunch of new stages, some new music, and stuff to decorate your base.
unlabelledView post →Very good game, although I think 7 definitely takes the cake for storytelling. Will I complain about more dynasty warriors to enjoy though? Nope! :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to relive the fantasy of being 10yrs old and playing dynasty warriors 2 on sunday morning. Just spamming buttons and murder-hoboing my way across a map for 20 minutes. Good times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DYNASTY WARRIORS 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition delivers the kind of enormous battlefield spectacle that has long defined the series, placing players in control of exceptionally powerful warriors who can tear through entire formations of enemy soldiers. Developed and published by KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD., this edition combines the main Dynasty Warriors 8 experience with the substantial Xtreme Legends expansion, creating a large package filled with campaigns, playable officers, weapons,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its stupid to call a game complete edition while having 21 dlcs that are not part of the "complete edition" dont call it complete if you arent going to include everything. its still a good entry and a good buy its just the inclusion of "complete edition" is whats stupid
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →controller doesn't work
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry but no. I'm not jumping through all these button layouts just to fix this game to my xbox controller (When there should be an override in place already.) This game will stay downvoted until this is fixed. Highly unfair considering that this game not only was PlayStation but Xbox Release aswell.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the peak of modern warriors titles, but there are far better ways to experience this game in the modern day. For some reason the PC port does not include the graphic enhancements made for the ps4 version of the game, leaving this version look far worse in comparisson. While this shouldn't be a sole reason to not recommend a title, the fact a better version is there but they ported the worse one is what makes it so frusturating. This game is also available on the switch where it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Anyway I tried out Dynasty Warriors 8 and I feel like this game might be awesome
unlabelledView post →DW8XL is a great game but it's a shame that the PC port is based on the PS3 version, it feels very outdated and it's a mess to configure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Revisiting Dynasty Warriors 8 with my son and learning how to play DW9 solo. I’m figuring out that fast travel makes the game better, but then you’re sitting through quick loading screens. I’m going to beat DW9, see if I can get used to its style.
unlabelledView post →Great game overall, the pc port is pretty bad but anyone with rudimentary modding knowledge can easily circumvent things like no 4k support or higher fps with a single drag and drop mod installation. I takes like 10 minutes to set this up and after that you can easily get a couple hundred hours out of this game so I'd say don't listen to anyone saying that this is a terrible port or anything because those people are just idiots or lazy most likely.. The game itself is very good, I like the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Random question If you could wipe your memory of ONE game to re-experience it again, what would you choose? Definitely Dynasty Warriors 8
unlabelledView post →tried like 10 minutes of Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and it was the most overwhelming video game experience of my life Seriously, this tops firing up Baldur's Gate with the book-sized manual for the first time. Beats playing MMOs with no research. Got me feeling EXACTLY like this Vivvy face
unlabelledView post →This is the apex of classic dynasty warriors. the amount of DLC stages, characters, weapons, animals, and extras is insane, giving you hundreds of hours of fun hack and slash stress relief replay value. Perfect for die hard fans, but also a good starting point for people new to the series.

unlabelledView post →This and D.w 8: Empires are going to be the d.w/empires game I play for years. 9 is a horrible joke of a game for empires and d.w 9 is tolerable with the open world and some of its m.m.o stuff but is horrible overall compared to the prior games. I still have tons of things to do in d.w 8 and d.w 8: empires including beating it with some generals still and getting the rest of the content for this game. I finally have Lu Bu at max level and am working on various others now while I continue to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I drew Lu Lingqi based on her Dynasty Warriors 8 appearance. I kinda thought she was made up for the game because Lu Bu's faction lacked a power/sword girl, but apparently Lu Bu really did have a(n unnamed) daughter.

unlabelledView post →always stuck on saving screen when attempting to save. will buy again and give a proper review once that is fixed but i don't think they will fix it. so get this at your own risk.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've got about 10 hours in. There's a good game buried in here, but a handful of core design decisions make it a slog to actually enjoy. Controls (the dealbreaker) This is the only "core" numbered Dynasty Warriors (excluding the terribly rated 9) on Steam, and the controller support doesn't reflect that. The left stick doesn't register properly on diagonals, so you end up holding forward on the stick while nudging the camera with the right stick just to move at an angle. Face buttons and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't remember having any issue playing 11 years ago, but you have to jump through 40 hoops to get a controller to work properly and for whatever reason the developers decided that mouselook wasn't important in 2014.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not pursue Lu Bu.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this pc version is really emblematic of the era of pcs getting meh ports of japanese games. its not horrible but def has issues. no 1440p and 60 fps lock, i use lossless scaling app to get around that and that makes the game look kinda way better. no controller button prompts too. and no cloud saves. these issues have workarounds but yea. the actual game? a loooot of unique and rather interesting movesets, characters. graphics are rather ok. story idk i dont follow it much, its ok i guess.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy, controller support is ass or simply non-existent. Like who tf plays DW on keyboard??? Should have been the first thing checked on before porting. Money first, fixes never I guess... Best to go play something else that knows what a controller is, not a game trying to be League of Legends. Looked up and tried every method, It's like it worked for people at some point, then got patched out for some stupid reason.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →please add cloud save
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even with mods that make the game better, the inability to do basic things like PLAY COOP WITH PEOPLE is disgusting. Allowing gamepad layout customization but not being able to recognise other controllers is a mess, if you are trying to get this on steam to play it with your friends than just don't, it is not worth it in the slightest. The ps4 version is by far the better version, atleast with their remote party play it works.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →performance is really shoddy too which is a shame coming off of DWO where it ran at a smooth 60 even with thousands of guys on screen when two large forces collided which makes no sense bc the game is smaller and using a lot of Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 4 models and designs?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What the hell man. This is probably the greatest video game I've ever played. I wish it had online co-op, but at least remote play exists. But it's a special kind of loneliness not knowing anyone who also plays this game. Everyone is being such a cuck right now playing arc raiders. It's just me against the world, and that's what this game makes you feel too in a way. You against hundreds of normies. The reality is, people in this game CONSTANTLY want you dead. I couldn't tell you how many…

unlabelledView post →If you enjoy wiping out entire armies with one flashy combo, this game feels like therapy. DW8 XL brings a huge roster, satisfying combat, and tons of modes to sink time into. The story is still wild historical fanfiction, but the battles are fun enough that you won’t mind. Great for turning your brain off and feeling like a one man (or one woman) army.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm pretty much fully done with Dynasty Warriors Origins. Great game, and it tempted me to bust out my old copy of Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete, but I swerved and downloaded Samurai Warriors 4 instead. I have never played a SW game and am excited
unlabelledView post →28. Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends CE (PS4, Vita, etc) - still peak Omega Force in terms of moment to moment game feel, there's not really a "bad" version (maybe PC, I wouldn't know) and the game has a frankly fucking absurd amount of stuff to do if you're down with Musou gameplay.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has taken me back to the past. I used to be a huge dynasty warriors fan, and this game has just enough of the classic feel, along with the more modern feel as well. Great hack n slash, great for passing some time!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only problem i have with this game is when you use a controller, your character movement is very jaggly as if there is a huge deadzone even you set it to the lowest possible setting in steam and in your own controller. It's more noticeable when you ride your horses. There is apparently no cloud save. I am a huge fan of DW series ever since i got to tried it first time on ps2 (DW4,5,6) back in primary school. This game is by far the most excited one for me to explore but not in this port,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a Japanese game studio making a PC port in 2014. There are no button prompts. I should've refunded while I still could.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game but the PC port is straight ass. There's so many issues with the PC port of this game and 8E (which I forgot to review before refunding because it was least stable Warriors game I've played on PC) that I'd just recommend sticking with a console version. PC port itself is based on the PS3 ver(which means that even at max, it has worse lighting/shading, textures, and models than the base PS4 game). It's a "Complete Edition" with 200 bucks of DLC that doesn't have a proper bundle…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the level system is great. At first being level 1 and having weak weapons meant i died a lot in the first level. making me walk away from it. however using moshou mode i was able to play lower difficulty levels and level up my character a bit. allowing me to finally have a fighting chance. Once leveled up, the whole dynamic of the game changed and i could no longer put it down.
