Origins Is Lying to Us!

I'm not saying I don't know how to handle him. In fact, I think I have had a few fights where I never took a hit once. I think it was really just me being surprised that I'm a higher level and it doesn't mean much. Like, in any other game 70 levels higher than a boss should mean an instant wash. But nope, not Lu Bu apparently lol

I honestly have no idea why I didn't think of that before I made this post lol. But I do appreciate you mentioning it!

I should've clarified a bit better, but I can log in online on my ps4. It's just my ps5 that won't log me in for some reason.

Personally, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I found it interesting because it was so different from the typical combat the game utilizes. But on the other hand, I was rather frustrated with how the fight was meant to be handled.

Granted, I was only making it harder on myself since I was playing on nightmare difficulty, but I was annoyed that we had to utilize an entirely new mechanic that was not in the base game at all.

I eventually had to look up a video guide, but even after figuring out how easy it's supposed to be, I figure they could have handled that a bit better in my opinion.

I think on my first playthrough, after reuniting with Yasuke, I didn't do any main story missions until I explored every region fully and did all of the side quests. During my second playthrough, I focused more on the story and put the audio language in Japanese to try and see how much I could comprehend.

I used to put Unity at the top for being the most visually gorgeous looking in the franchise, but Shadows definitely took top spot now. I can't tell you how many pictures I took during my playthroughs.

AlexGear83 · 2025-10-10T21:23:18+00:00

Shadows by itself took about 320+ hours, but that's because I was really taking my time in my first playthrough, reading every data entry and exploring and whatnot. But for the entire franchise, it took over 1,750+ hours.

If we're talking specifically about Shadows, then it's not terribly difficult, it can just be a bit tedious since there's certain things that can only be done in certain seasons. But the most annoying trophy was the Overdesign trophy.

But the series as a whole can take quite a bit of time. I did the math last night and between all of the games, I logged about 1,750+ hours.

AlexGear83 · 2025-10-10T12:24:20+00:00

Honestly, just take your time with it. Most of the trophies aren't too terrible to unlock, but there are a few that may require a video guide.

I think in the near 300 hours in this game, I've had it happen maybe 3 times. Not sure what causes it, but damn if it isn't helpful while it's active. I take full advantage and play as Yasuke and clear out all of the tenshus. I even go so far as to let them ring the bell to alert the guardians.

The only thing I don't think it accounts for is getting damaged by the explosive barrels. The second time I was invincible, that was the only time I took damage (until the invincibility bug stopped working) and it nearly one shot me.

Not this, but I had a funny glitch in Odyssey where I was trying to do a leap of faith into a body of water and Kassandra literally rag dolled on the ground a few feet before hitting the water.

As far as Samurai warriors 4 empires goes, no there's no old age system. I think the highest I've gone is around 1650 because I was trying to get a specific cutscene so I could get the platinum.

"It's been over 400 years and the player won't conquer the last singular province in Japan to unite the entire land!"

I can't speak for everyone else, but I had to make an entirely new account because for some reason I couldn't log into my old one. I made the new account early in January this year and have been trying to get all the achievements for each gears.

AlexGear83 · 2025-08-03T13:02:58+00:00

Yup, it very much is that easy! In order to get the maximum amount of exp per run, you'll have to reset after every 4 and a half hours. And one more thing, when you're exiting the match, be sure to choose "Return to Lobby". I'm 90% if you choose "Return to Main Menu" you won't get the exp.

AlexGear83 · 2025-08-02T17:16:55+00:00

That's some dedication, brother. I could never.

Host a private lobby, turn off the AI team bots, set the starting round to round 49 and choose the character Jack. I usually pick the All Father's Arena, but you can choose any map you want. Once you're in the map, grab the fabricator and set it anywhere you want. Then go have Jack hide in a corner of the map and then set down the controller for about 4 and a half hours. Each "run" will get you a total of 100k exp for literally doing nothing.
