I don't care for the crossovers personally. The characters make a lot more sense in their own place and time. They're a part of it, and it's a part of them.

That's never stopped people from showing up-Lu Bu was a secret opponent in Samurai Warriors 1, for instance. A little thing, to be sure. Even so, it feels like they might have wanted this for a bit. I look forward to seeing the Dynasty/Samurai/Northstar Warriors crossover.

Azran posted:Wasn't there a Dynasty Warriors game where you were able to create your own character? It was definitely 4. Me and my friend put so many hours into that game, and I was using a created character. We 100%ed that game, and had even more fun with the opening movie editor. The last Dynasty Warriors game I played was 5, so I'm looking into possibly getting 7 at some point. Since there's an Xtreme Legends, do I just need to get that? Or is it like just an expansion pack that requires the original game in order to play Musou mode? E: The main dude I used in 5 fought with nunchaku, I can't remember his name for the life of me. Anyone have any ideas, and is he available in 7?

He's in 7, although he's not nearly as ridiculous in terms of power. Samurai Sanders posted:Oh my god. They'd fit in perfectly. Also Sieglinde can be there for the necessary moe slot. You could really make a case for a ton of Souls characters to show up in a musou game: Biorr, Patches, Logan and Quelana are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head who have enough personality or visually interesting design to fit the bill. Heck, even some of the humanoid bosses would work - considering Gyuki and Dodomeki, you could easily shove Ornstein and Smough in. EDIT: And considering the whole "the fabric of reality is really thin" justification the Souls games use to justify their multiplayer mechanics you literally need only the flimsiest of excuses to have them show up. Yeah, Solaire wants to gently caress up some evildoers in crazy bizarro Chinapan, what of it?

I dream of a King Arthur-themed Warriors game. Lancelot, Arthur, and all their friends wrecking poo poo up. (Robin Hood is a secret character.)

Today was a good day for me, a bad day for my bank account. After mowing my grandma's yard I decided to swing by the Gamestop in NC to see if they had any Warriors games I could pick up, since the one in my town is completely dry. I managed to snag DW7, 7XL, and WO2 for PSP. All three of them together set me back roughly 80 bucks, all three were used because hey it's cheaper. I may have to wait until next paycheck for the DW7 DLC though, even considering I'm going to skip the stuff like music tracks and whatnot and just get stage and weapon packs. It'll still set me back quite a bit though I'm sure. So yeah, I've finally gotten to play 7, and it's pretty great. Definitely great after how disappointing I found 6 to be. I'm still having trouble getting the hang of the new mechanics, but it's nothing too difficult. Though I do have a question. I purchased Attack Up ++ with Dian Wei, is this a passive skill that you don't equip? It didn't show up on my seal list so that's my assumption, but I just wanted to check and make sure.

You're correct, anything you purchase with a character's growth points is a passive expansion that is always in effect.

This was a while back but, I don't think DW should end with 7. But they do need to bring back the difficulty of the older games if (when) they continue. I was playing WO1 a few weeks ago and it's almost impossible to start a fresh save on normal. That's the thing I miss the most.

Samurai Sanders posted:Weird, I wonder who the COMPLETELY new characters are? From the way they said it it sounds like characters not from any other Musou game. I wouldn't be surprised if they include Nintendo cameos. Fighting off demons and the Chinese/Japanese allied forces with Luigi and his trusty vacuum would be hilarious.

Samurai Sanders posted:You know that that is how the Musou series started, right? It has appeared in various Musou games since then, and it always sucks as far as I know. It's the reason they moved to the current style of gameplay in the first place, they suck at doing one-on-one. I just really love gimmicky card-based fighting systems ALA SNK Card Fighters/MvC3 Heroes and Heralds.

I sometimes use it on higher difficulties to block the trash musou attacks if it's too late to get out of the way. So almost never.

I think most action games are like that, there's a block feature but it hardly ever gets used because dodging is almost always better. Demon's/Dark Souls is the only counterexample I can really think of.

I'll block in a duel situation in 7, or when coming out of an attack that tosses around my camera to re-position and block any trash attacks. Otherwise? Nope. Unless I'm deliberately drawing out the fight for whatever reason, offense is the best defense.Samurai Sanders posted:I think most action games are like that, there's a block feature but it hardly ever gets used because dodging is almost always better. Demon's/Dark Souls is the only counterexample I can really think of. Wrestling games if they count as action games in this argument. Blocking/Countering is a fundamental aspect of the system and usually open the window for offensive return fire. Basically blocking needs to reward the player for doing so beyond 'you avoid damage' to be worth the time. Wheresmy5bucks fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Sep 16, 2012 |

I feel like I'm cheating by using Combat Resistance seals. Feels like it breaks the game. Even without them, though, I rarely block.

I couldn't take the suspense and found out who the two new characters for WO3 Hyper are by using Google. They seem pretty okay I guess, though I would have preferred someone from a series not already represented, and the other one sounds like he has an interesting fighting style in theory but who knows how it plays out. The two characters are Rachel from Ninja Gaiden and Seimei Abe, spoilered just in case some people might want to be surprised. The GIG posted:Isn't WO3 Hyper based on the PSP version? Apparently it is. Just wanted to mention I've been slowly going through the 2010 Three Kingdoms series and it's pretty good. It's a bit strange seeing Cao Cao being soft-spoken and treating Liu Bei like a close friend rather than looking shady and uncaring. It was the same way in the novel too, he wasn't portrayed in the best of light there either but he certainly had his good points. I wonder why the DW games try and make him out to be a huge jerkass.

Chortles posted:Both the games and the TV series are based on the novel (plus it's easier to Flanderize Cao Cao to "ambition" and Liu Bei to "virtue", Ma Chao to "justice", et al., instead of giving them shades of gray), but the director and actor Chen Jianbin specifically wanted to diverge from the novel and treat him with a modern perspective. This. Koei figured out that in a game about plowing through hundreds of soldiers in a mission, the best tone to go for is melodramatic and incredibly hammy, which makes presenting a nuanced picture of the characters difficult. EDIT: Samurai Sanders posted:I think most action games are like that, there's a block feature but it hardly ever gets used because dodging is almost always better. Demon's/Dark Souls is the only counterexample I can really think of. In the God of War series, the block function is pretty important because there are some attacks that can't be effectively dodged, and the addition of a strong counter actually makes it preferable when you are able to master it.
