I'm still frustrated with DW9 because it's all about this big new open world, and then barely does anything with it. It feels more like the team was told "Open world games are big! Make dyansty warriors one!" than actually wanting to include it to make the game better

Alacron posted:Depends, if you're into these games for battlefield tactics and trying to puzzle out the correct order to accomplish objectives then AoC will be a letdown. It's very much a brawler with little tactical input from the player making any difference beyond "how fast can you defeat the enemies?" My biggest gripe with AoC was that by the time you get 2 or 3 maxed out weapons you'll have 100%ed the game. I had a good time doing it though. If I were to pick either back up I'd probably go with AoC simply because the way it handles items/glyphs and large monster fights is vastly better than HW.

Gundam going remarkably strong given how long it's been since we had a game in the franchise. Here's hoping Bamco takes some hints.

Speaking of which, I got to play Hyrule Warriors for the first time recently and it's pretty drat good. Except for the big bosses cause they all require you just wait with a thumb up your rear end for one specific attack before you can do any damage to them. Also, very strange that it doesn't have dodge offset like One-Piece Musou had.

Hyrule Warriors bosses are awful when you need a good time on a map in order to get a new character or weapon, and the boss just refuses to become vulnerable, especially the bosses that are otherwise invincible. At least some of them you can do chip damage while you wait.

But of course that still has the issue of not working on stages where you only get one character. The only one I really hate is Phantom Gannon because his tells and attacks are dumb as gently caress and playing light tennis is rough with a lot of characters.

Arslan Warriors was a really budget game based on some anime designed by the Fullmetal alchemist person. The only gimmick besides being a super generic musou was a cards system. Also did none of you remember the last gundam musou

I had no idea there was a fourth Gundam Musou game until I looked it up just now, seeing as how my PS3 was stolen years ago and they're shutting down the PS Store on it I guess I'll never play it, but if it was bad I guess that's fine. I only played the first and third Gundam Musou games and thought they were pretty good, I hear 2 had some weird poo poo with the rival system that sucked though. Also I've had thoughts about them making an American themed Musou game set in the Revolutionary War or something, containing historic figures like Ben Franklin wielding a kite charged with electricity, but also folk heroes like John Henry and Paul Bunyan.

I vaguely remember seeing some video reviews and the like back when it came out and it seemed like the only reason you would play it is a) you really really loved Arslan and wanted more Arslan content to consume or b) you're an actual maniac who has to play every single Musou game. There were absolutely zero gameplay hooks worth mentioning. It's kind of funny because the Arslan anime is almost like they turned a Musou game into a TV show.

Speaking of musou anime spinoffs, is the Berserk musou game a good introduction to that universe for someone who's never read the manga or watched the anime, or is it better to skip it? Berserk has been in the news lately since the creator died and I'm just now noticing how cool it looks, and I picked up the game in a steam sale at some point, I'm wondering if it does a good job with the story and characters or if I should really just not bother and track down the manga instead (there just seems to be so much of it, is all)

Oh my loving god the big bosses in Hyrule Warriors are REALLY getting on my nerves. You just have to sit there with a thumb in your rear end waiting for their attacks cause there's literally nothing you can do to speed up the fight and all of the boss attacks have massive delays between them for no loving reason other than to just waste more of your time and then you also have to hope that it's the correct attack that actually lets you counter attack otherwise. It's literally the worst possible enemy design. At least with officers you can still do chip damage while your wait for them to open themselves up but with bosses you literally can't do poo poo to speed up the fight.

The Berserk game kinda owned up until a terrible, terrible boss fight against Griffiths It doesn't have enough characters to play but it turns out adding gore to Warriors is a pretty cool addition and feels good to trigger your musuo and evaporate a screen full of demons Arslan was meh but it did have another gimmick: there are points on the map where you gather your forces and do a giant wonderful 101 style charge across the map as a big regiment.

Giant bosses used to be way worse in the Wii U version, and AoC gave you a ton of ways to expose and take advantage of the WPG, so the devs took the criticisms to heart at least.

The Imprisoned is basically the exclusive reason I think Fire Emblem Warriors is a better game. Even with the improvements from Legends/DE, if a challenge map has The Imprisoned as a major objective, I will literally play a different game. I'd rather fight DWG2 Psycho Gundam.

If you're playing Definitive and not the original Wii U version having multiple characters fighting the boss (just order them to the same square) will speed up your magic regeneration and also there are fairy skills that help with magic regeneration and Focus Spirit duration IIRC.

I categorically do not understand this mindset, The Imprisoned is by far the easiest and least frustrating of the giant bosses to deal with. Meanwhile Manhandla was the absolute bane of my existence.

Is Arslan warriors really that bad? I noticed it's on steam and it looks kinda cool, although I don't know anything about the anime, I'm just judging it based on the aesthetic. I thought I'd pop it on the wishlist and see if it ever went on sale. Also my big gripe with Hyrule Warriors is that I've spoiled myself by turning link into a supersoldier, and any map that requires me to play as a different character (gently caress you specifically, fi) make me feel really weak and anemic and brings the fun momentum to a screeching halt. I guess I did it to myself, technically, but the game shouldn't have given link a 300-strength weapon as part of the campaign if they didn't want me to use him as a crutch I wish the maps had "we suggest you be X level to have fun" guidelines or something, I have no real sense of how much I should be leveling the other characters in the dojo to have a fighting chance, and it starts getting prohibitively expensive after level 20 or so it seems.
