    Great 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.

    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…

    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…

    *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…

    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.

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,…

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

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…
