It bums me out that KT has stopped churning out Warriors titles but god drat if I don't still have poo poo to do in every game since WO3. I really miss DW Gundam though.

The Gundam games were hugely frustrating to me because I liked some of the things they tried with each game, but they were each hugely flawed in new ways. It always felt like they were close to making a really good one.

Looks like I'm down to just replaying WO4 on Chaos, while completing all objectives (and getting 'S' rank), since that's pretty much it for replayability right now (aside from getting all weapons, but honestly I can't say I'm interested in getting all of those considering there are characters I just don't care for). Unfortunately it's going to be laughably easy seeing as Lu Bu, Keiji Maeda and Tadakatsu Honda are utterly maxed-out with their best gear equipped (not to mention the other 7 or so that aren't far behind which I can lob in for a bit of variety). The "Slay" element is absolutely broken as gently caress, by the way. Hundun comes prancing in shooting his mouth off with this Pandemonium nonsense and immediately gets trounced by a quick flurry of button-mashing, spawning flames and lightning and Christ-knows-what.

Currently playing WO4 and Zhou Tai's incessant murmuring while playing as him is driving me crazy. I don't speak Japanese so it just feels like some sort of bizarre Musou-style ASMR experience. Are his sentences really that long? Like everyone else just screams their lungs out while using Unity Magic but he just keeps on talking. Edit: Actually it seems it was a bug where his voice lines were playing over and over because I heard them for 10 minutes straight. Azran fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jan 8, 2019 |

So I got DW7: XLDE on Steam and I completely forgot that levels didn't use to be a thing. It's weird having to collect little Attack Up and such icons to get stronger. Edit: This actually incentivizes blitzing lieutenants even more than the newer games felt like. PureRok fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Jan 15, 2019 |

I'm getting a Switch soon. I need to pick between Hyrule, Fire Emblem, and Orochi 4. Leaning on Orochi 4 because of the sheer number of characters, but I'm worried about framerate. Split-screen multiplayer fine? Which is the most polished? I'm pretty much inured to musou game grinding, so no problems on that. Additionally I might get Fate/Extella Link when it comes out because I'm an awful weeb

The first was okay but had a lot of janky characters. Good soundtrack, though.

Orochi 4 has very little content for a Warriors game. It's pretty disappointing.

FE Warriors is good, so if you're an FE fan, it's a solid choice. I know you've said you're inured to grinding, but it has far less mandatory grinding than HW. IMO History mode (which is where you're going to be spending most of your time in the game) is straight-up better designed, too; you're never stuck using a single character like HW. Also, while the character switching mechanic and the ability to give the other playable officers orders first appeared in HW Legends, it's much more natural in FEW; the game was designed around using these capabilities and it shows. The main advantages to HW are that Definitive gets you the game, including all of the DLC from previous versions, so your $60 is getting you more content. Also, each character in HW has at least one unique moveset, while FEW has clones (although IMO FEW has better moveset quality on average; there weren't any characters I dreaded playing, as opposed to a few weapons in HW that were truly awful). I don't have WO4, so I can't comment on its quality or lack thereof.

I wasn't really feeling Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U but I've played a frankly silly amount of FE Warriors. Probably because I'm more of an FE fan, and especially the new games in particular, while I'm lukewarm on Zelda and its boss battles, of which HW has a few.

The little I saw of it was quite appealing but I don't really know anyone aside from Link (I've only played like, Link's Awakening DX and Oracle of Seasons). The big thing with Hyrule Warriors is that it really differentiates characters more than any other musou (except maybe the One Piece ones.) The playable cast is pretty fair sized and you'll find someone you like to use. Most characters also have different weapons that change their movesets. On top of this the game has a quite frankly insane amount of content. There's only a single story campaign but it's quite long and switches up characters as it goes but the meat of the game is the adventure maps where you unlock new battles with set conditions with a few other systems feeding into it. The giant monster battles are the biggest weak point. While it's cool to see those iconic enemies they show up way too often and slow things down with their giant hp bars.

On the plus side. Aside from MAYBE the imprisoned none feel as bad to me as Thrillerbark in One Piece. Oars is a bastard. On the downside, they like to throw the imprisoned at you a lot with conditions to beat him without damage basically......and force you to play Fi for it.

The imprisoned is at least a bit better in the switch version since your damage per break isn't capped now. Manhandla is still a giant piece of poo poo, though.

Fooling around in DW3 after however long and the stage-specific NPC voices are really something. This is clearly just one guy who isn't even trying to sound like three different officers. Also got 100% on Orochi 4, and unsurprisingly I haven't really done anything with it since. Odd to think that it's "lacking" despite having 170 characters and however many battle scenarios. Something's just missing.

To add on to some other things, 2D Zelda is horribly underrepresented. Also, since you like FE, you'll probably better understand why there are as many clone characters; you're less playing as a character and more playing as their class. Sakura, Takumi, Anna, and Niles all have the same move set, because they're all Archers. Their stats are very different, though, which allows them to be used for different situations. Camilla and Minerva both play the same, because they're Malig Knight and Wyvern Rider respectively, but Minerva's strength is basically S++ tier. You will use different characters of the same or similar class differently across the various missions.

Aside from how absurd it is to start co-op on the Switch, Hyrule Warriors looks pretty fun. I got it for a friend and got to try it yesterday. Bought WO4 for the Xbone and I agree that it feels very flat. Especially after 3 and it's going back in time to save officers motif.

Well, based on the responses, I guess I'll get both! But FE first, as I need to improve my Zelda knowledge. Sad about WO4, I played 1 and 2, found 2 to be mechanically better, but less fun given its storyline. 1 really made use of its cast and the interactions were all great and pretty inspired. Shame because I'm a huge fan of SW4 and that's what WO4 is getting? BTW, is Spirit of Sanada good?

Spirit of Sanada involves way too much "walk around a village and read text boxes" between stages, but I thought the gameplay itself was fun. I bought it for around $20 I think and didn't regret it.

I love the presentation and style of Spirit of Sanada, there's some downtime between battles but to me that part is enjoyable too. Plus I think Masayuki might be my fav SW character now, too bad he wasn't in WO4.

Of course, that really just means that it's all adventure mode stuff without story. At this point, I really just want a sequel that brings in the champions, though. Urbosa would be fun as hell if they set her up right.

The between-battle downtime piece took up less time as the game went on as well, I wasn't the world's biggest fan but after the introductory stuff I stopped minding it so much. Masayuki is great and I liked Sasuke a fair amount as well even if he was hard to get a hang of.

I dunno why everyone else is so down on WO4, I recently bought it for Switch and am having great fun with it. I actually didn't like WO3 as much as everyone else here, unfortunately, due to playing SW4 beforehand (which WO3 came out before) and all the SW characters having their old movesets was such a bummer that I eventually ended up trading the game in. WO4 doesn't have that problem, plus it has the really cool magic system (as well as the Mock Battle feature, Jesus Christ I wish that was in every Musou/Warriors game). I just wish they hadn't gotten rid of all the cool guest characters like Ryu Hayabusa.

I have got to give Omega Force credit, they're really trying to salvage DW9. I downloaded that full game demo and kept it on my PS4 and I swear every month I get a big update for it, so I look at the patch notes on the system and it's this laundry list of Things People Didn't Like being fixed.

All-Stars never interested me because it was a bunch of games I've never heard of. Kinda like those two anime dudes in WO3U. (Their series was Stein something?) Honestly I wish the WO series had more historical warriors from other parts of the world. Just always seems weird that only warriors from two parts of history are pulled together to fight. Especially when their brought together by Olympian gods.  Just let me pit William Wallace against the forces of Cao Cao

Yeah lack of Bo Jackson is a clear mistake on their part. To be honest, at least for me All Stars would probably have been fine if the whole game was set to be in the middle brave levels rather than having to deal with the unfun slog of low levels and nothing mattering at high, on every map. Also get rid of Naotora's invincibility super or at least don't have her in seemingly every drat map.
