Story wise; the game is still rock solid on that front. I was a little disappointed in the fact "Other" is now only single missions rather than doing a full playthrough of all the characters until they died. Jin, the most boring of the 5 and is a mission and a half to just finish them before going to sleep lol. Shu still is the best, shame they have the least amount of missions. Wu and Wei have the some good missions, but nothing really stands out for me. I was saddend by the fact they cut out so many (And some of the better) missions from the game, some of my favourites aswell lol. Cut scenes are still tops, as are the voice actors. Much more suiting than the asian ones haha.
Ignoring your allies can have serious consequences if you dont help them or listen. I failed 2 sneak attacks and a massive amount of enemy reinforcements appeared lol, was shocked at how far the game had come in terms of this. Maps however are smaller than i remember. Some are alot larger, but most of the better maps are smaller
. That and i hardly recgonise most of them now haha, they've changed the quite alot.
Love how they've made it you choose from 3-4 characters depending on the scenario, makes the game much more interesting as you can choose characters you'd normally never play, great addition to the game. Although sometimes you get stuck with 3 characters that only have basic weapons midway through the story which can throw you off haha.
Weapons and combos havent really changed much which is i like lol. Though weapons drop with every officer so there's no shortage for them. Affinities are a nice touch, though imo, they failed. There's only 3 so its easy to counter if you understand it lol. If they had added 2-3 more, that would've made things much more interesting. Then there's weapon Tempering (Ambition mode), this is a great feature as you can forge whatever elements you want to your weapon (Granted you have another weapon with said element) by combining the pair.
Free mode is meh. Single missions. Would've been nice if we could've played the storylines in free mode. Only time ill see myself playing it is when i go for characters 5th weapon.
Ambition mode is awesome! Like an advanced survival mode (like i said earlier haha). Build facilities, get allies, build a temple for the emperor lol. Choosing what kind of mission you want to do and whether you want to call it quits and upgrade your town. It does get quite hard on chaos when there's no health being dropped haha, running around for 3-4 maps with bugger all health. I think im up to battle 65 and my god im only killing 50-60 people a battle with a maxxed out Lu Bu, custom level 4 weapon with level 10? Slash.. shit is crazy haha.
Though actually finishing this is a little tiring and grind worthy, though i think i've got more than enough materials, im just going for the 100 battle trophy haha
Havent really had a look at online yet, will be interesting thats for sure.
All in all, still a great game! Some disappointing things but easily forgiven. Can't wait to see what crazy shit they do (if they do) for next gen consoles lol.
