This one sounds like it could be fun, but if the sales for the first one weren't too good via PSN, I doubt they would translate it. I missed this but Pirate Warriors 2 is coming to North America and Europe this Summer for PS3.

KOEI is a prostitute that adores having a launch era game with every console. If the XBox720 hits the scene later, it will have some Warriors iteration in its window. PSP had a DW game (poo poo game that got about 150 hours out of me). 3DS had SW:Chronicles (not poo poo game that got 200 out of me). PSVita got Next. Wii U got WO3. If the PS4 and 720 aren't simultaneous launches, they'll still get a KOEI game in the launch. If KOEI's smart enough to do one thing right, it's to make sure there's a launch window game because people will buy that poo poo due to lack of variety.

How is the 3ds SW? For some reason I prefer samurai warrior over any other warrior game( I think it's the castle thing since samurai warrior 2!).

Pureauthor posted:Chronicles is pretty fun and frantic in a way I've yet to see other Warriors game match. Having 4 PCs on the field at once does that. This is the part that makes it great. Most of your 'campaign' maps will only give you access to something like 2 or 3 generals at a time, but once you unlock free-play for a mission, you can re-do it with whatever generals you like, up to four of them. The four of them will pop in static spots on the battlefield. You basically toggle between which one you want to control by simply tapping their portrait down on the touchscreen. You instantly assume control of that general, and the general you tasked away from goes back to AI. There's a light bit of AI dictation you can do as well, so it's not completely lacking in strategy. Any given map is bloated with sub-objectives that are virtually impossible to hit until you open them up for free-play. It makes for some robust re-play. Just like any other title that has this feature though, maxing out 'relationship levels' with your officers will take some mindless grinding.

I know that feeling, I almost walked away from it too, but when you just cut loose and stop caring when you're just doing the first heavily-restricted run, then open it up for free play and come back to it later with a better levelled batch of generals, you can knock them out and relish the challenge.

Every now and then I bust it out and spend a weekend trying to grind out some missions and relations for some pilot or other and it's just insane. I did some rough calculations and it should take me somewhere between 1500 and 2000 hours played to get every pilot friendly with every other pilot and complete all missions with every pilot.

You only need to get everyone friendly with one pilot for the trophy, if that's what you're after. Then again that's still a colossal undertaking. It took me around 150 hours before I reached the end goal (then got YLOD 8 missions away from Platinum).

Right now I've got all the achievements but the movie one because I haven't gone back and redone the Story mode missions to get the alternate movies. I've got Amuro and Master Asia friendly with everyone and with all missions completed and a few people on their way to that at about 300 or 400 hours played. Which is kind of funny to compare to DWG3 where doing everything that the game keeps track of will run you maybe 100 hours.

Best part of DWG2's friendship bullshit was that it was theoretically possible to lock yourself out of ever getting.. I want to say Quess. I almost kind of not really want to do that because Quess is pretty insufferable.

You'd seriously love how Lu Su turns the tables in the 2010 live-action version of that scene though: it ends up with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei prostrating themselves before Lu Su thanking him for sparing their lives and Zhuge Liang having to walk away verbally blaming his "incompetence" for Cao Cao's escape.

U.T. Raptor posted:I really like Kunoichi's musou attack, it's a shame she's an inferior Nene in every other respect (well, technically Nene's a better her, I think, but you get what I mean). Come to think of it, I don't "get" Kunoichi at all, why is a generic ninja girl literally named "female ninja" a distinct character v Ya, except Nene is an annoying character (I mean, her name is NE NE, for one). Kunoichi is Yukimura's subordinate because historically he supposedly had a bunch of ninjas who worked for him. I guess she's Koei's personification of that. Wikipedia posted:A legend says that Yukimura had ten heroes who took an active role at the battles of Osaka Castle. They were called the Sanada Ten Braves, a group of ninja, and consisted of the following members: Also, Kunoichi in the first SW had a pretty awesome alternate costume.

See, I always thought they just gave "Generic Female Ninja named Female Ninja" in the first SW a name and a story when they made Nene. But then they went and decided we needed both.

Nene is the best. Probably my favorite SW character. Aya Gozen is a pretty close second though. At least they fixed Kunoichi's Charge Attacks for WO3.

Chortles posted:I'm actually not surprised that the tone of DW7 is so different in being so much less sympathetic with Shu, especially if it was written by "modern interpretation" fans. Yeah, I mean people say the writers hate Zhang He, but compared to Jiang Wei, it's barely anything. When he shows up in WO3, he literally gets killed immediately by a random grunt. Nobody notices until after the fight when Liu Shan's like 'Man, I feel like we're forgetting someone'. And of course, during the Jin in DW7, he's portrayed as a super obsessive baddie. You can imagine him shouting 'I'll get you next time, He Man!' Not that I'm complaining of course. Shu's easily my least favourite of the three.

The worst thing about Jiang Wei is how everyone pronounces his name the same way as Zhong Hui. It made Deng Ai's missions so much more annoying.

Game or novel, he's pretty underwhelming. As for "Jiang" and "Zhong", I think the confusion's because the game narration/English voice actors' pronunciation of zhong is so, SO off -- in Mandarin it's more like "jung", versus Jiang's "jee-ahng" -- and noticeably so compared to pronunciations of just about most other names.

I'll never get why Chinese names are written the way they are in English. Why not write them the way they sound? Like Lian Shi. Apparently her name is pronounced "Sure" not "She". Why not write it so people can actually pronounce it without a primer on how to pronounce Chinese words written with Latin characters. Also, "Cao" as another obvious one.

I'm pretty sure the version I read wrote it out 'Tsao Wei', but I might be misremembering. It's also because it's pretty difficult to adapt completely foreign languages to English. I mean, look at Irish - BH, I think, is pronounced as V, etc, and I don't think it's even possible to describe the Welsh LL over a textual medium.

Because Yale spelling was so bad the Chinese (PRC) government actually adopted their own way of spelling their names/words in Latin characters. This is Pinyin. It's not perfect, mostly because a lot of sounds don't exist in a readable format in English, Cao vs. Tsao, but is supported by the largest body of native speakers of the language in the world.

Play the early Dynasty Warriors games. Hearing them call him Cow Cow was beyond funny. It's just a phonetic language. I play Age of Wushu occasionally, which is a MMO set in Fantasy China, and I feel like I'm pronouncing every single name in that game wrong because I read it as if it is an English name. Empires 7 was released today in Europe, anyone pick it up? I forgot I had Empires 6 and booted that up. I've forgotten how much I hate the movesets in that game, especially when you're low level and don't have many moves to do.

DW3 has a special place in my heart and although I feel like a better person for finally learning the native pronunciations through other media, Cow Cow's son will always be Cow Pee, Soon Say's father Soon Jeeyan will always be a smiley guy in gold armor and dear god I still remember the layout of Hulao Gate. e: DW7E isn't on 360, is it?

I don't know if maybe the current games have this option and I just missed it, but if we aren't getting English dubs any more it would be nice if there was a toggle to display the characters' Japanese names instead of the Chinese ones. A lot of the names are close enough but sometimes I get confused when I'm hearing one and seeing the other.
