Yup! People have always complained about how Dynasty Warriors has the same story every game, since they need to show what historically happened. But now each kingdom has a "what if" branch that tells an original story.
This game has a unique mission system, where the story branches based on your choices. Depending on the outcomes of certain events and battles, characters might live or die. This results in two main story branches. "Historical" is what actually happened. "Hypothetical" explores 'what if' scenarios, and shows what would happen if certain characters had not died. Historically, Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan die, but they live in the hypothetical story. This video shows all the events of both.
I'm pretty glad they brought in the Hypothetical storyline in, it's actually what use to be done before, and actually let you play way pass a character's life expectancy.
Something I hope for in the next DW game is more clashes between Wu and Shu. I understand why Wei is attacked by both so much but it is a war between 3 kingdoms and Wei is my favorite. Maybe smaller clashes that lead up to Yiling perhaps. And they should've have Wu or Shu conquer one or the othrt in one of their hypothetical endings instead of both destroying Wei. Still loved the game.
Ace B Im not sure If im right Shu and Wu were buddy buddy til Guan got rekted. Then Liu Bei was like "fuck it, we're going to Yiling" So there's probably not like much in between, just straight up EVERYONE GET THE FUCK MOVING
Ace B If I remember my ROTK correctly, Zhang Fei actually did lead forces in skirmishes against wu prior to Yi Ling just right after Fan Castle, but mistreated the hell out of his men and got killed because of it.
The cut scene from 7:40 to 8:21. Laughed so hard while playing the game during the scene. It's always humorous when the playable characters nonchalantly dispose of non-playable enemy officers. Arguably only rivaled by the scene from 40:45 to 41:45.
I've watched this video like, at least ten times (for the sole purpose of watching Xiahou Dun's Blinding Scene at 7:40), and this time I decided to watch it with TH-cam's Subtitles for shits & giggles. It's actually a little more fun than I thought it would be.
Best voice acting, best looking characters, great weapons, great side mode, fun and thrilling battles, extended endings for each kingdom and a lot of playtime. Definitely the best dw game imo
+Faisal Masab NO But you lose a story here , Cao Xiu participated mainly in campaigns against the forces of rival warlord Liu Bei during Cao Cao's time, notably against Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. When Cao Hong was threatened by Zhang Fei that his retreat route would be cut off, Cao Xiu saw though the ruse and stated that if Zhang Fei indeed wanted to block their retreat route, he would do so secretly instead of showing his intention so obviously. He then suggested Cao Hong that they should strike the enemy upfront when Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were still dwelling on the fantasy that their tactic would work out. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao retreated back to Han Zhong after being defeated by Cao Hong,
+Faisal Masab his dead is because In 222, Cao Pi personally led an offensive against Sun Quan. Cao Xiu was appointed Great General who Conquers the East (征東大將軍). He supervised over twenty armies (An army or jun was a military unit. Every 12,500 soldiers were counted as one jun)[citation needed]from various regions and defeated Sun Quan's force under Lü Fan at Dongpu (洞浦, in the vicinity of present day Wuhu, Anhui). Despite his victory over Lü, who was able to regroup his forces, Cao Xiu was defeated by Wu reinforcements sent by Xu Sheng and Quan Cong.
He didn't followe his father,s ambition it's not a surprise he didn't inherit Cao Cao,s greatness which is why I'll call him a fool who disgraced the Cao family
7senM7md Actually In real life Cao Pi became emperor, and forced the previous emperor to abdicate the throne. He also proved his worth to his father after the loss of Cao Ang, the first son of Cao Cao. He became something his father wasn't able to.
@@7senM7md Spreading chaos and being a hypocrite about it is not great. His empire fell for a reason. He is the monster he sought to stop. Cao Pi was under no delusions. Only strength matters. He's right. Cao Cao was incorrect with chaos being the problem. Chaos and destruction are two very different things. If Cao Cao sought to understand chaos instead of destroying it then he would have learned something. He would have learned the language of the savage beasts. Communication is key. Instead he claims the moral high ground and his empire turns into dust. Perhaps he even knew he was the chaos monster himself in the end yet knew no other way. Much like Nobunaga Oda in Samurai Warriors 5. Thoughts never mentioned to anyone, safe perhaps for Cao Pi who clearly went a different way.
DW7 Xiahou Dun losing his eyes is better than DW8. I mean, he flinched long here. In DW7, it's like he doesn't care about it. Only a few seconds flinch. But I love the intro, though.
i don't remember 7 and from what I've seen in this video it seems so new and exciting nothing at all like the previous DW... definitely gonna spend some time on this game,, when is 9 coming out anyway? nowhere to be announced yet.
Can anyone how custom apparel alone in Dynasty Warrior 8: XLCP on PS4 console !! hope you help yourself! download section of the machine yourself into it now "wating ti install ........." How did it out more than 1 month !!! not anyone help me ??
+TokyoXtreme You got me, always though you were serious because of how little some of the Dynasty warriors improve, I have to say DW 8 extreme legends was a big improvement
Marcio Martins You gotta give credit to 7 for giving a beautiful ending, also the new Kingdom of Jin, and a new set of awesome bad ass music. And yeah, 6,7, and 8 are way too OP, that's why it turned to shit. DW3 is the best among all tbh, DW4 had the best soundtracks and they even perfected Lu Bu's theme. DW5 is still okey, but then 6,7 and 8 are just too easy to play.
I guess. You can always crank up the difficulty (which results in enemies having more hp and dmg, appart of being more aggressive). I like to play it as a power fantasy, but I'd love to see more aggressive enemies in lower difficulties.
4:45
Xiahou Dun's sickest burn
Wei's story mode has always been the best.
33:34 Yue Jin croaking startles Ling Tong and Gan Ning
Fan Castle opening is by far my favorite opening cutscene to a level, between Pang De speech and the music #feels
3:34-4:40 Dian Wei is so beast against lu bu perfect enters Dian wei
I love Jia Xu, he's almost Jack Sparrow-like in his movements and appearance, but is a genius strategist xD
Well, Jack Sparrow is secretly a genius
If they ever do a dynasty warriors live action, then mayb… just mayb
46:38 Cao Cao's like "THATS IT?"
When Pang De drops the coffin and the music starts... Gives me chills.

37:20 although he is a bit strange, his speech is so fuckin motivating

12:37, 21:24, 28:31, 29:59-Hypothetical cutscenes
14:11, 27:15 30:45-Histroical cutscenes
I really like Zhang He's voice so funny

8:19
Ok where did Yue Jin even get the bow from?
Soon in the next scene we see him in he has his swords again.
C H A R L I E B R O W N He just used a Switch Attack off screen
Ambitious King I think a better question why the guy was so dumb he just sat there bragging instead of firing on the other three
DW8 had the best voice acting AND did the best at explaining everyrhing.
Best voice acting, best looking characters, great weapons, great side mode, fun and thrilling battles, extended endings for each kingdom and a lot of playtime. Definitely the best dw game imo
the song from the first event with dong zhuo when cao cao says about strength
OMG. Xu xhu is cute af. i love this guy
Damn I always knew xhu xhu could give ma chao could a good tossing with those moves
I really want to see next Dynasty,
Cao Xiu and Cao Jie is one of Cao Cao's daughters.
+Faisal Masab What are you trying saying now?

+Faisal Masab Why are you getting mad,? I'm just telling you the truth.
36:21
What kind of weapon is that? It kinda looks like a gun.
It's some kind of rocket-propelled polearm. In the game it's called a Siege Spear.
Travis Willingham as Zhang Liao just makes for the most bad ass character in this game
How can you not like Cao Pi?
+Adrian Brown Cao Pi is one of my Favorites along with Guo Jia
He didn't followe his father,s ambition it's not a surprise he didn't inherit Cao Cao,s greatness which is why I'll call him a fool who disgraced the Cao family

40:46 Welcome to China - Xu Chang
(?
DW7 Xiahou Dun losing his eyes is better than DW8.
I mean, he flinched long here. In DW7, it's like he doesn't care about it. Only a few seconds flinch.
But I love the intro, though.
41:19 how do you impale someone with a flUtE lMao
I’m soooo late. But anyone know the song at 19:40???
1:13 for SPARTA!
I want DW9 cutscene more like these
i just finished the wei story and xiahou dun spoke Chinese when he said he could see a end to the chaos on the english version
Xiahou Dun looks like Future Gohan
Can you go hypothetical without Dian Wei
and at 42:05 why there is xiahou yuan too?im confused
i don't have the one after the event "strength combined" i don't know what mission it is to get that cutscene
I am in love with Caopi this kingdom
Dynasty Warriors 4 best
any one know the song at 42:28?
Welcome to china from xu chang theme dw 6-8
how the hell did Xiahou Yuan alive after being shot ????
So OP
How do I get the event at 30;56 and Wei's third Movie? I cleared both routes and didn't get them
At 30.56 is the cutscene at the end of battle of Chibi, the historical version. Not sure about the third movie.
what stage does xoun sho (sorry if it is extremly misspeled) loses his eye?
i have the vita verson.
None. This event is not present at the game, at some level he simple appear without one eye (the wrong level btw). I miss DW 5.
It's the extra mission "Battle of Puyang" :) Lucifer Con
Marcio Martins Then play DW5
thanks
at 30:06 why did dian wei is still live?
i thought xiahou dun said hes dead?
does anyone know how to unlock the event after the he fei scene and before the pang de fan castle scene
8's story was basically just 7 with all the new characters added in.
Yep.
Not quite, it tries to replicate old dynasty warriors games with the hypothetical route, at least in my opinion.
If you've played one, there's no point in playing the other. I never played 8 and am waiting for 9 to be something different.
i don't remember 7 and from what I've seen in this video it seems so new and exciting nothing at all like the previous DW... definitely gonna spend some time on this game,, when is 9 coming out anyway? nowhere to be announced yet.
Definitely some time next year.
My man Xu Zhu just trying to get the grub on lmao anyone could have offered him the same shit
Well, my Lord you seem very victorious. I just don't know about your son...
That is also true...
Hi lord Jia Xu
Yue Jin hello there
I finally found you Lord Jia Xu now we can counter attack and take back Jing Provice in our own hands!
Guo Jia's death is missing.
HSciad Selrak he didn't actually have one the cutscenes plays the same regardless if he is to survive or die
He has actually
Why do they have to Show us Dong Zhuo's Groin in the Opening?
Conrado Javier to show he is the big nasty dong of china
I forgot how how to Dian Wei
so there is 2 different system?
the one is real story
and the other one just our imagination?
So who killed who. Different people kill other people in different stories
@40:28 Guan Yu beam back to the spaceship
Hold it, I thought there's another version of Guan Yu's death if Pang De is saved in Fan Castle.
Hei Man Lee all that happens is pang de will appear in the cutscene
@@thesuddendemise7735 Still counts.
42:41 Warriors Orochi,ah? :v
He's a DW character, first appeared in DW5.
I always wondered about Zuo Ci, I first saw him in Warriors Orochi but it turns out he was in DW5
how to down load dw 8 pc please
buy it
"My honor will not allow it" aka "I remember when Zhang Liao alone kick mine and my brothers' ass in DW7, so I'm leaving" :P
this is the most dumbass death 36:09
Xu zhu is the best
(For me)
Dian Wei was an incredible warrior so sad his life got ended so soon by Jia Xu

Crappy game. Cant believe is the same franchise of DW 5.
Marcio Martins Gameplay wise, DW8 is the best in the franchise so far. Story wise, DW7 is.
Well, for me the franchise die out after DW5. History mode was butchered and i hate the anime style of the character.
Wait ,what are we bullshitting the game for? Graphics? Story? Because I'll happily ditch those for gameplay.
