This talk about Zhang Liao just made me think of something: Do we know what weapon Pang De is going to be using going forward? I was pretty disappointed by the club in Orochi 3, mostly because it lacked his incredible second musou from 7XL. That cavalry charge :allears:

EDIT: Also he kind of did have the whole twin axes / halberds thing first.

In a way of obsessively trolling the fan base, Pang De will be cut again.

But he'll probably keep the Beatstick.

His Cavalry Charge is back in Empires, and the Mace is his EX in that game, and since no one else is sharing the moveset I'm guessing he's locked into it.

Does anyone know exactly how much Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is gonna be on the PSN? I can't seem to find a price for it anywhere, but I imagine that it'll be like $40-50? How much is DW7: Empires for that matter?

I was kinda hoping for $40 because I'm picking up $120 exact in PSN cash and hey being able to snag DW7: Empires and Ken's Rage 2 with cash left over for the Skyrim DLC would be really sweet.

Anyway, here's some direct feed screenshots for Kamen Rider: Battride War

I remember reading something by KT Europe's community manager that since 8 and 7: Empires were in development together, they decided to give Xu Shu his debut early since they finished up with him.

I have a PC, but not a 360 or PS3 currently. 6 is the newest Dynasty Warriors I can get if I want it in English, correct? I'm doing a term paper on the Three Kingdoms period as represented in video games(teacher's idea, not mine, shockingly) for an Ancient Chinese History course I'm in, so I want to play the most recent one I can. Also any other suggestions on PC, Wii or PS2 Three Kingdoms themed games would be appreciated, I'm already including RotTK XI and Sango Fighter.

DW6 is on the PS2 too and has a few more story modes, but actually playing it is a mess of slowdown from what I've read. Outside of that, I'm not too sure what else is out there. DW5 or 4 if you can find them would be pretty good for PS2.

Yeah, I looked into the PS2 version of DW6 and from what I saw it's kind of a mess from a technical standpoint. I'm trying not to overfocus on DW though because that would make a really repetitive paper(and playing through 3 DWs in a row in just a few weeks would be tedious as all hell).

The problem with 6 is that it's a bad game. You can still use it for your paper but you won't have any fun playing it. If you want to go full out wacky see if you can find a copy of Kessan 2 somewhere. The depiciton of the Three Kingdoms era in that game is so off the wall your brain will hurt.

You could also look up Destiny of an Emperor for the NES. It's a quirky pre-pokemon jRPG where you collect officers and work your way through the rise of Shu.

For other Dynasty Warriors games you could try Dynasty Warriors Online which is a terrible awful game but is free to play.

Thanks for the NES game suggestion, I'll look it up, and I also ordered a used copy of Kessen 2 off of an Amazon reseller for ~$5 shipped(fingers crossed it's not a junked copy) since there were none at any nearby GameStop and they don't ship. 6 is pretty bad so far gameplay wise, but I'm just blitzing through on easy since it's a history paper and not a game review. I'm so glad I have RotTK XI for both somewhat sane presentation of the time period and good gameplay.

There's supposedly a fan translation patch out there for "Dynasty Warriors 7 with Xtreme Legends" for PC which was otherwise Japan-only, but 4 (as Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper) and 6 were the only ones with official English releases besides Online.

I'm wondering this too. There are youtube videos out there of battles and stuff, but I'm curious to know the major difference between being a Merc and being a General under a Ruler in terms of gameplay. I know you can do coop with the merc stuff, but that's all I know.

That means it'll be out right around when I finish up Ken's Rage 2 and DW7E, which is pretty awesome. I may still wait until it's on sale for PS+ members though.

Glad to see Pirate Warriors 2 is confirmed for NA. The first one wasn't terrible, but it wasn't that great. . It felt like a good base to expand on, so I hope that they can use what they have and add more characters, stages, and better-designed maps. One Piece is such a great fit for the warriors games, so hopefully they can go all out on this one and really make it a blast to play.
