geebsWO blather- Huh, since I only started playing Cao Pi yesterday, I did not realize they changed some of the moves for the DW characters with "cloned" movesets. Like his C4 is no longer just the same as his dash attack, his C5 is a throw type move now (its still a launcher, but he stabs the opponent in the chest with both blades and does a vertical scissoring motion with the blades, sending the enemy up into the air), and his c6 is a forward rush of really quick slashes all around him, kinda like Zhou Tai's C6. I'll have to see what Liu Bei and Lu Xun's twin sword movesets are like then, if they changed things up.
I guess I didn't particularly notice if Ma Chao, Huang Gai, Ding Feng, and Sima Zhao's moves differed from the standard spear, club, glove, and sword movesets from DW7, resppectively. And I guess all the other DW characters I played so far just weren't any of the cloned moveset people. I mean, I played Xu Huang and Lu Meng, but they thankfully gave Xu Huang his Great Axe back for this game (and gave Yue Ying her scythe and made Xiahou Dun's big-ass mace from DW6 Pang De's weapon since Zhang Liao stole the twin axes from him), but yeah, Zhao Yun started using the Dragon Spear in XL, so only Ma Chao and Jiang Wei were left with the spear, and I haven't played Jiang Wei yet. I'm like 99% sure Ding Feng's moves haven't changed from DW7, so I guess they might've tweaked Meng Huo a little more? They prolly made his moveset more "animalistic". But yeah, I guess I'll have to see what the diffs between Huang Gai and Xu Zhu now, and Liu Shan and Yuan Shao, and how Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Cao Cao's moves differ from Sima Zhao.
So I'll give the game kudos for taking the time to give the DW characters a little more variety by coming up with new moves for the ones with the cloned movesets. Although technically, I think they did that for DW Next on the PS Vita, and WO just uses the moves from that.
TV commentary:
Royal Pains- Wait, are they not going to address what caused the explosion in the previous ep? I mean, they made a show of having Jill's brother adjusting the propane tanks while he was still sick, making you think that would mean something later. And then the explosion happened at the end of the ep. But this ep, they're all, "Explosion, that was weird!" and don't investigate further. I suppose maybe they'll have it come up later, after the fire marshall or whoever figures it out, then they'll come knocking.
And huh, I thought there was going to be more to Alexa Vega's sickness then it just being "shock bowels" from the force of the explosion. I mean, given her weirdness about the CT, and all the dogs, and her constantly talking about hoping her big family comes to visit and not wanting to be left alone. I suppose she might be a recurring patient, like Mrs. Newman, or the hemophiliac kid with the kinda cute hypochondriac girlfriend.
And finally, how hilarious is it that it seems like Jill had this new job offer forever, because it seemed like she spent last two seasons transitioning away from her duties as hospital administrator and ending things with Hank. And then it ends up falling through? I mean, it sucks for her as a character, but they were never going to have her actually leave the show, and like I said, its kinda funny that they wasted so many episodes on this, and it ends up not happening?
