Dynasty Warriors 8 (PS3) - Game Save Now Available that Removes Affinity from All Weapons!

I have gotten some attention regarding the post "How to Disable the Affinity System in Dynasty Warriors 8 (Playstation 3)" and its subsequent follow-ups. For some, the idea seemed brilliant: finally be able to rid of that irritating weapon affinity system in its entirety with little to no side effects, playing the game once again like its Dynasty Warriors 7 and past days. However, many aren't that keen on doing the required manual tasks themselves, including transferring their saves to their PC, using software to modify hex values, yada yada.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires - How to Individually Change Any Character's Stats (PS3 Mod) and Some Codes

Recently, I've been experimenting with individually altering character stats in saved games on Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires for the Playstation 3 and have been fortunately successful doing so. One dominant reason which resulted in me ensuing this was so I could lower my controlled character's stats and raise enemy officer stats (particularly attack, health and defense), enabling lengthier combos as officers tends to be annihilated a bit too quickly for my liking. Of course, one could easily reverse that and raise their own character stats to abnormal amounts and the enemy to nothing. Personal choice is a wonderful thing, ain't it? Anyway,...

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Review (Shin Sangoku Musou 7: Empires Review)

INTRODUCTION In the world of video games, no company's zeal is as strong and evident as Omega Force and their Dynasty Warriors franchise, spawning eight major installments over sixteen years, and never ceasing to additionally release an expansion pack and a spinoff for each new numerical value.

The results are not so much RoTK as it is Dynasty Warriors. At its heart,...

How to Disable the Affinity System in Dynasty Warriors 8 (Playstation 3)

Do you not like the weapon affinity system present in Dynasty Warriors 8? Well, there is now an easy way to totally annihilate it using the magic value of FF (we'll get onto that in a little bit).

Additionally, there would be no storm rush, no variable counter and most importantly, being able to stagger/hitstun every enemy officer in the game regardless of what affinity they have. So how do you do it exactly? Well, it's actually nothing new at all. Remember when I wrote the weapon modding...
