here's my recommended starter DW games: 5 for the classic gameplay at it's peak 7 for the story (and it's very cheap nowadays) 8 for basically peak modern DW gameplay and content. If you combine 7 and 8 it's basically the perfect DW game, you can playthrough 7's story then move on to 8 for basically everything else.

5 story is better because every character got a story. You got a POV from the charcter you where playing as. DW 7 walked up, looked at me and said "oh.... you are playing that battle?..... Well here is the selection of the 4 Generals you may use..." Whats that? You want to play as Cao Pi?......... "TOUGH SHIT! Wrong region and period a$$hole!" Stage Starts (Cao Pi runs past me with his squad literally 10 seconds after battle start) sigh....

@@DustinBarlow8P Fair enough, I personally prefer faction based campaigns over character based. Plus in DW7 I learned about 3 kingdoms lore, it previous games it felt like "just go here and fight lol"

I may be looking it as a veteran of the series but i woulda recommended DW3 if you wanna begin the journey and work from there. Of course to start and just play DW5 and 8 would do but to really appreciate it more starting from 3 is where its at. Seriously guys the VA in that game is legendary no one should miss it.

Also, if you're starting out, it helps to know what the combos mentioned (and one he didn't) basically do. S (just mashing square): Not a bad option for focused damage against a single target. Usually there are better ones, but don't underestimate it. C1: In the PS2 era, this is your 'gimmick' move, for lack of a better term. Some are awesome but impractical, some are niche, some are useless. But always be sure to know what it is. In the PS3 era, they tend to be dubious guard breaking attacks. C2: Tends to involve knocking opponents into the air. In the PS2 era, it is virtually useless. In the PS3 era, there are a few good ones, but a lot of them are awesome but impractical. C3: Almost always a low-damage combo that stuns. Not a bad opener against officers. C4: Usually your best AoE attack. Starting your journey, learning to spam it is Lesson 1. Eventually, in DW4 and later, you will unlock... C5: In the PS2 era, it is the better aerial combo, but still more for showing off. In the PS3 era, with C2 largely taking C5's original job, they tend to land in between C4 and C6 (see below). C6: Maximum damage to a single target with significant AoE at the end.
@TheNightowlGaming7 ай бұрын
for sure, didnt wanna get too detailed, the C6 isnt always AoE either, Zhao yun's c6 is not AoE he just jabs in some of the games

With the next game to be released next year, I want to ease my way into the story once again.. A lot of characters was added in between 5 and 9.. Is 9 a good place to start again or 8? I heard it's not as good as previous titles..

If you are on PC with so many versions, which game/version would you get
Amazing and I've played DW 5/already finished, I've got rare weapons and items. LED tv with PS 5... I think I need Rp. 15,000,000.00 million rupiah. Even though I want to use beautiful Chinese characters in DW, for example Sun Quan's wife BU LIANSHI... I'm also curious about Musao and TRUE Musao what they are like... and don't forget the story in the scene. I'm the one who likes the fire effect the most.. you can combo combos when the enemy is in the air, but it's still burning, then use the "heavy attack" button combo, 5/6 square + triangle, that's cool. DW 6.. not finished yet.. just got it 3 king horses+all half kings, new lv 100 weapons LU BU.thank you/terima kasih.👍😁
