I've never really played a Musou game before, other than a few random hours here and there in games friends bought, but I picked up Samurai Warriors 4 on a lark and I have been enjoying chronicle mode quite a bit. The problem that I am currently having is that my chronicle character, Hatsune Miku, seems to be maxed out? Level 50, and all my proficiencies (I think is what they were called) are maxed out. I'm also only something like 30% into the mode. Also, even on nightmare 95% of officers die in 1 4 hit combo from the great sword. Is this just how things are going to be? Should I switch characters and start levelling up 1 of the goons? Maybe just switch weapons?

You can try raising up other characters, or get their ultimate weapons, which let you raise your stats above the cap. If you want a harder time, try gimping yourself by using a poo poo weapon. (Though it's still pretty easy compared to other games, really)

It sounds like a new BASARA game is being announced next year. Where can they go from here?

A place where all the characters are in the game, playable and have an associated stage would be nice. Also, some new characters that aren't associated with the Toyotomi army - as fun as they are, they're way over-represented, especially when the Tokugawa army only numbers two. I miss Xavi and Hojo and Nou-hime.

Five minutes showing off Bladestorm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8AIqYgMXfw. It's more like an HD remaster of the original game, except for that whole fantasy mode with the dragons and stuff. Like I recognize a lot of these menus even. You can swap between four squads with the d-pad now which is a great addition.

This looks like they added a lot more in it for sure, one of my original problems with it was how sparse it felt in content after a while.

Mostly because it just seems super weird that we haven't had any of the classic heroes confirmed yet. I can live without the IX hero since that's Create-a-Hero territory, but I gotta have my I, III, and V heroes beating the poo poo out of everyone. And I guess the kids from V. Maybe Sancho too. I really like V.

But if there's really no difference, I'll stick to my PS3. Still can't wait for empires though

Empires is its own standalone thing different from the base game and Samurai Warriors 4-2 is like an Xtreme Legends expansion pack they're selling as a full game to avoid getting sued, you could probably pick any one of the three and be good.

Wait, Samurai Warriors 4-2 doesn't contain the original content? I thought it was a re-release/expansion.

The One Piece musou series is pretty interesting. The first game was fairly mediocre with some outright bad ideas, but it had some decent ideas (like making every character totally distinct). Then 2 came along and is basically one of the best Musou games when it comes to the pure mechanics side of things, with every character having FULL COMBO STRINGS (not just different charge attacks), multiple Musous, awakenings, status effects, all sorts of really cool poo poo. I can't wait to see what they'll bring to the table with 3, if they keep up the same level of improvement they did from 1->2 it's bound to be amazing.

If we get that level of improvement again it will easily be the best Musou game. I see a lot of OPPW in Hyrule Warriors and I'm interested in seeing if they bring anything over from there. A pirate Adventure Mode would be pretty awesome. Endorph posted:i just want mr. 2 to be playable I doubt we will be getting as many new characters this time around but playable Doflamingo and Fujitora are good enough for me. If all the playable characters just came from the current arc it would be amazing.

As someone who's played every console DW, and SW 1, 2, and 4 to death each, is One Piece Musou 2 recommended? The only musou offshoots I've tried are Gundam 3 and Fist of the North Star. The latter I loved, the former I sent back in days. So right now spinoffs are hit/miss for me.

Pirate Warriors 2 is really good, especially if you're a fan of the series, but it might be worth waiting for 3.

A word of warning though, if you're a completionist, it's got one of the most boring slogs to unlock everything of any Warriors title. Not the hardest or the longest grind, but one of the most boring for sure.
