I think the other issue with characterization, is that there are literally sixteen characters per faction for the first four factions, then a less amount after that. That feeling still persists through Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition, I never really feel that there is an over arching narrative, and the characters are just not interesting enough for me to care about. I hadn’t played one of these games since Dynasty Warriors 2 or 3, and remember always feeling like the story was just disjointed and never made sense to me. I think that was always my issue with the Dynasty Warriors franchise, really. There isn’t a single narrative through Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition, you really get six.
Each faction has their own heroes to choose from, and the story is told through cut scenes, text boxes, and in game voice overs between characters.
The story for each faction is different for each group, from fighting down a eunuch rebellion, to gathering allies. The story for Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition (this is going to get old, fast) is broken into six parts, following each faction: Wei, Wu, Shu, Jin, The Others, and Lu Bu. This is literally everything you need in one package if you want to play Dynasty Warriors 8 on the PC.
With this edition, you get everything that was in Dynasty Warriors 8 and in the expansion Xtreme Legends, hence the “Complete Edition” title. This game was a much better experience than I was expecting, and really fun to play. Lucky for Tecmo Koei, I was assigned to review their latest and greatest edition in their Dynasty Warriors, uh, dynasty called Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition. You are just better off leaving that game on the shelf. I have a very solid rule when it comes to game titles, and that is games with the word “Xtreme” in it should be avoided at all costs – especially when it is spelled in that manner.
