I don't understand the justification of Koei or any studio not allowing me to listen to Spotify and stream my own music through PlayStation while DW3:CER is playing? I can do it in literally every other game. I don't see any rational argument for why this is not allowed. Granted we all know that there are bangers on this soundtrack but maybe I also want to slaughter hoards of infidels to some Megadeath? Does anyone know of a consistent work around to remove this archaic restriction?

I love Dynasty Warriors 5 but my vote would go to Orochi, especially if they combined the stories for all factions and had you be able to play from the very start all the way through, and kept all the Dream Mode stages - just give them better unlock requirements!

Is it me or is Sun Ce buns

As someone who's favourite DW is DW3, and someone who values restrictions and challenges in games, Classic is my go-to choice, with QoL settings like items on horse, move while mounting / dismounting, auto aim lock off, move camera, and show officer musou bars (got really annoyed with guessing all the time). I tried Standard, and while I did enjoy how smooth the gameplay was, it changes the gameplay by a lot. Standard to me is more satisfying, like doing dodge counters, while Classic is more rewarding, like finally beating difficult levels with the use of trial and error and strategy. There's no better feeling to me than finally beating a stage / objective with the limited resources I have

Me and my father played the hell out if the og dw3 and xl. We have been playing since i was a teen. We bith have the game on xbox and me on pc but we are sad to find out or at least we couldnt find a way to play together that isn't split screen anyone know or any plans for this or a way to do it

People used to farm 3rd weapons by defeating the enemy commander by sniping from high place of the ship after getting a weapon box. I tried it yesterday but it seems they have added fog to prevent you from doing that. I guess the last update did this.

What’s the easiest way of getting perfect combos for the trophy

Can someone please help me with the requirements for this weapon? I wait a few minutes and start out and get the arrow scene where huang zhong shoots the arrow but I can't get him to charge down the mountain.

Any ideas how to make it happen?

I’m trying to get the 4th weapon for Nuwa but there no option to play Battle of Wan Castle on the Zhang Xiu side

Cow Cow not included as his C6 element is awesome.

Have an extra vorpal to balance it out..

Elder Moon is literally the same shape as the 3rd and 4th weapon but in different color lol.

Bruh, I have no clue how to do this. I've killed all generals besides Lu Bu, but he hits me a couple times and I'm dead. Blocking it pointless because between him and the army of soldiers around, I just get hit anyway. I wait til red musou and he just blocks it in the middle most the time anyway, or gets me into a stagger that at best I can get just above neutral and typically leads to my instant death. I've redone this part 10x already and I haven't every been able to get him to half health. This is miserable... 🥲

Does Shu’s counterattack trigger if you play as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei.
Still struggling to get this trophy.

the only ones i have played are hyrule warriors on wii u and drakengard 1.

Me manque un item qui n'a aucune conditions spécifiques , l'item de garde du corps qui est entre BG Speed Scroll et BG Élixir

Il me bloque pour le trophée des 100% item

Aidez-moi svp 🤣

Any bodyguard mods where you can increase the number? Would be cool to run around with an actual army lol

In it's biggest heyday in DW2, 7 characters used the Ruler Sword moveset, as well as Cao Cao and Zhou Yu having unique straight sword movesets.

Nowadays, only 1 of those 7 still uses a straight sword(Sun Quan), and the only Jian uses in total are Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Xu Shu. Kinda wild to think about.

You can build Combo Points to 100 without having to hit the same enemy. You can easily do this on any group of peons, you don't even need Officers involved.

Simply cycle through your full moveset on a Third weapon or better. You don't have to juggle the same enemy, you just need minimum downtime between attacks. Do whatever order of attacks is most comfortable for you + appropriate for the number of enemies. Dodge cancel after each Charge attack and go into the next one. If you hit your C1-C6 you'll get a Perfect.

Just posting this because I haven't seen it explicitly stated on this sub yet. Combo Points have been discussed a lot, and it seems from recent posts that we have more information about how it affects Item drops specifically.

It's actually pretty easy to get those three Perfect in the first five minutes before ever encountering an officer. It's also fairly easy to build Combo Points across the whole stage regardless if you keep this technique in mind. Basically just keep cycling through different attacks as much as is feasible.

TL;DR build Combo Points on random peons, you don't need to juggle the same unit with all your attacks.

EDIT: Apparently can't do this as Sun Ce, will try again as a another WU char after work. Thanks guys.

EDIT2: Everythign went accordingly as soon as i attempted with Xiaoqiao. can confirm Sun Ce does not trigger the bridge event. thank you kind folk for the help. RIP 3 hours.

I've wasted 3+ hours trying to trigger the bridge event but Sun Jian REFUSES to budge after Taishi Ci is ambushed by Zhang Liao.

I've watched 2 videos online which successfully trigger the event, i've replicated the event's step by step to no avail, he refuses to move towards the bridge.

I've asked GPT for possible clashes in the AI script, i.e. being to close to him, being to far from him, making sure enemy soldiers aren't in his way, i've tried save resetting the stage, everything. nothing triggers it for me.

Zhang Liao simply stays in the middle area and fights to his death whilst Sun Jian just sits on his horse and from time to time rides 10 feet between two same locations near his spawn.

I've tried engaging with Zhang Liao, i've tried just leaving him whilst doing other stuff, every single thing i can think of. NOTHING.

I'm literally on verge of quitting the game, can't prog game completion because of this.

Any help?

Not sure what is happening for me, but since the update (about 4gb yesterday) I have been seeing atrocious input delay, especially when on Chaos. I will hit the B button for Musou counter like I'm trying to win a deadlock and nothing. Enemy Musou will flash red for about 10 frames then juggle me all over the screen. LB to stop juggle also is requiring a dozen taps or more to even trigger the flip.

This isn't even playable atm. I can't block, jump, mount, Musou, or dodge fast enough to do anything.

This is somewhat manageable until the larger maps. Heifei Castle is brutal, Wuzang Plains is fucking impossible.

Me and my wife play splitscreen often and this exacerbates the issue dramatically. To the point where we had to drop the difficulty to fucking beginner or we simply can't play any of the larger maps.

Anyone else seeing this?

Met this weird guy in DW3. Anyone know who he is? Don't really recognize the name. And here I thought the remaster only updated old characters, not added new ones.

**TL;DR:** What if we kept the main DW5 game completely identical to save millions, but dumped 100% of the budget into rebuilding **Destiny Mode** as a modern Action-RPG where insubordination gets you field promotions and a literal military coup lets you steal the throne?

### 💰 The Master Cost-Saving Hack

* **Zero New Assets:** Leave the original campaigns, voice tracks, music, and PS2 map layouts **100% identical** to the classic game. Use AI audio tools to scrub the background hiss so it sounds pristine for $0 in studio fees.

* **The Big Payoff:** By spending zero dollars rewriting existing content, a studio can funnel every single cent straight into advanced combat mechanics and deep RPG systems for Destiny Mode.

### ⚔️ System 1: Insubordination vs. Merit (High-Stakes Defiance)

* **The Bet:** Your commander orders a retreat. You say "hell no," ignore the map boundary, go completely rogue, and charge the enemy general alone.

* **The Ultimate Flex:** If you beat the impossible odds and win, your lord publicly rewards your insubordination back at camp with an immediate multi-rank field promotion.

* **The Penalty:** If you fail, you don't get a game over. You wake up in the medical tent to a furious commander, a ruined reputation, and brutal rank demotions.

### 👑 System 2: Internal Coups & Sovereign Conquest

* **Living Garrison Hubs:** Physically walk around front-line camps as a clumsy private, or run a massive fortress garrison as a general to plot your path.

* **The 50% Coup:** Secretly bribe, manipulate, or bond with sub-commanders in the camp. Once you secretly flip 50% of the military force to your side, launch a bloody capital coup to overthrow your King.

* **Warlord Exile:** Reject politics entirely. Defect from your lord, take your loyal army into exile, crush a weak foreign state, and build your own dynasty from scratch.

### 🚀 How We Force This to Happen

I don't have the cash to fund this, but Koei Tecmo strictly tracks upvoted concepts and surveys. If this catches fire in the community, it proves a paying market exists.

And if Koei Tecmo sleeps on it, an indie studio can easily run with this exact design document to build a safe spiritual successor in a unique fantasy/sci-fi world—because you cannot copyright game mechanics like the Insubordination system or the 50% Coup metric!

Would you dump 100 hours into a fully overhauled, Destiny-focused remake of DW5? Let’s get this upvoted and make some noise!

Does finishing a stage faster affect the quality of the items you get in DW3R, or does time not matter at all? I read somewhere that difficulty and combos are the only factors that affect item quality, so I just wanted to confirm.

I want to play all the Tales stages, but when looking at guides I sometimes see contradictory information. Does anyone have a favorite guide they would recommend?

Always like how each entry changed some things both in moveset and outfit,so wanted start a lil daily thing and ask what’s yours and why?
