A concern I have, that you hinted on, was the DLC Characters. If they do that, it comes across as, "We could have added this in the game, but decided to nickle and dime our audience instead." Costumes and the like are fine as paid DLC, but not characters. I'm afraid of the potential for "character bundles" already lol. If they do that, it explains entirely why we play as a "wanderer" instead.

Definitely an issue that was building up with the series was ridiculous weapons, just for the sake of adding another character, cause everyone had to have their own weapon. It did make for mediocre characters.

Highly agreed. There was definitely feature creep with the series. The more characters and weapons they tried to incorporate to make sure players didn’t feel they were buying the same game again was killing the fun of the game. Then continually degrading how tough the enemies were really made what was already a fairly mindless game, made it boring to play because even Lu Bu was not a challenge. This game was a return to form with a lot more than a new coat of paint. They were able to recapture a dynasty levels 4/5 level of difficulty with peons, even with the new skills and tactics. Then they made officers difficult to fight, making it so you can’t just juggle them anymore. On top of that, I think retelling the story from a the POV of a guy not originally tied to any one faction makes this much more interesting and makes the prospect of playing other factions (if that’s the direction) much more intriguing. I haven’t been this excited for a warriors game in years

Appreciate the kind words!

That's a good point about the weapons. Maybe because they limited us to 4 weapons for the demo, they limited the NPCs too, although that feels like a stretch. I think if they gave us a character creator, that would help a lot. We could still be a wanderer like they want, but look like we want too.

Definitely, can't wait for it and thanks for watching!

At one time in the video, I had my attempt at explaining why I thought they didn't let you choose a character, but I took it out cause I wasn't sure I was able to convey why, so this is ripped straight out of the script I made for this video: (( Like all the other games, this one is based on the story of the Three Kingdoms, but each game varies how closely it follows the story. Most of the games were pretty loose with historic accuracy for the sake of having fun, for instance: Letting you play a character that was not historically in a certain battle. They may have been dead at that point, or just not there at all, but you got to play them anyway. This new game seems like it plans to follow the story more closely than the other games. Now what I’m gonna say next is just assumptions based on what I’ve noticed from the demo. For the first time, the characters look young and different. Sure, throughout the series they have had minor changes from game to game, but Cao Cao has always had his goatee. Guan Yu here has a much shorter beard, and Xiahou Dun doesn’t have his eye patch yet. It’s kinda strange, but I think the intention is to have them age and change as the story progresses, to eventually become what we are used to seeing them look like. They will grow stylish facial hair over time and get shot in the eye if you’re Xiahou Dun. If they do intend to follow the Three Kingdoms more closely, that would mean if a character is supposed to be dead or not in a battle, then they won’t be in that battle in the game so you couldn’t play as them.This is likely why you play as a wanderer instead of picking a character. You play as someone who is not in the Three Kingdoms story, therefore won’t be killed off and allows you to make choices of whose side to fight for. This keeps you from getting attached to playing a character that may end up no longer available in the next fight because they died or some other circumstance in the Kingdom story. Not being able to pick your character is the biggest change so far, and I imagine most people aren’t going to like it. While the wanderer can use any weapon he wants, it’s hard to ignore the change. )) At the end of the day, I'd sacrifice tightly following a story line, so I could choose a character again. Hopefully they add the Free Mode we are use to.

@@krieveplays I didn't think of it like that but it is true again same as attack on titan Because Ur a character insert Ur watching the history play out before Ur very eyes I did wander why they looked so young I did also think for a short time U were actually 1 of the characters I know some are missing at first I thought U were Zhou yu from Wu because I hadn't seen any footage of him atall and something about the way the wanderer handles his sword just reminds me of him Playing into this whole amnesia plot I thought maybe U were someone important Which brings me to my next question A WANDERER sounds like a title for someone just passing through How does he become a general in the 1 of the armies of the 3 kingdoms???

I guess it could be viewed as, "There was once a great hero who became an awesome general, but his story is lost to time" kind of thing. Either way, in a few more weeks we get to know the truth of it 😁

Wow, thanks a lot! Makes it feel more worth the effort lol.

I think we have to take a class on it.

Hey, thanks for checking it out. I really appreciate it and hope you enjoy it!

That's awesome you enjoyed the playthrough. I'd already be onto Forbidden West, but I'll have to wait for it to be on PC as I don't have any consoles. As of now, Nier is up next, but I'll see if I can throw Stray into the mix too. Either way, thank you for checking out the playthrough, very much appreciated!

I took the phrase, "Fight fire with fire" literally.

@@krieveplays 🤣 I've made a guide against each boss machine, it will probably help you out learning many stuff about the big machines and their weakspots. ua-cam.com/video/R-pr30BI_44/v-deo.html I'm using maxed out Weaponry in the video, but it will be the same process, just a bit longer with weaker bows 🏹

@@MrAR_Gaming That would have been helpful, for sure. I finished the game though as of now, but I'm pretty sure I watched some of your videos around the time I was finishing up. I was definitely thinking, "Well, looks like I could have made this much easier!". It's okay though, I think the difficulty can lead to funny moments. Even if it's difficulty I make because I don't know what I'm doing lol. Either way, I appreciate what you do.

Thank you very much, what a great compliment! :)

I'm not exactly sure what you said, not even google translate could help me, but I'm gonna assume you said something funny :)

Oh yeah, it's been a good time so far. I had to wait for the PC version, not a single console here. Hopefully the PC release for HDZ 2 won't be too long. Anyway, thanks for coming by!

I don't know if that's a good thing, but either way thanks for commenting.

I've been playing it a bit, day by day, for a couple of weeks. Doing a playthrough of it, but yeah it's been an awesome time. Thank you for the sub, btw.
