Why is it so hard for koei to make a good rotk game or dynasty warrior these days

Sadly, they let the haters and the trolls convince them that putting out the same game every few years is bad, so now they have to change and add a bunch of poo poo no one asked for or wanted à la Dynasty Warriors 9. They should've just bought out id and spruced up some of the lighting or something.

They will never again reach the perfection of Samurai Warriors 4 (PS4 version) or the one ROTK I really liked until I read that the combat system was inherently busted and only got patched in Japan.

Alejandra mentions that their home system is somewhere secluded, a system far from the others in settled space. the furthest things I can see rn are the stars in Orion’s Belt, at least as far as being set off from the others nearby.

the real answer is likely they got shelves for DLC stuff because they’re definitely the most interesting faction.

I finally started doing the main quest and Andreja made it a whole big deal about the Varuun guy she killed and how most people in Constellation don't like using violence, right after she and Sarah and I had gunned down about 30 Ecliptic mercs.

yeah, it's werid right? like she makes sure you know this about her, makes it even a little secret between you two, she can trust you, right?

ah must be nothing, she's a good egg

they get run around by a civilization whose capital is a big mud pit, secured by “a dozen” rangers, which you can become a member of even as a card-carrying UC citizen.

I did like that they didn’t have the terrormorphs being just literally created by the UC, like from humans or something equally body horror-ish, but then they go and still make their emergence be a thing that a former UC person has already solved and of course does, to prove how right they are.

I really expected a hammier reveal much earlier in the plot.

I think that’s what saves them for me, they’re the faction I love to hate. it helps that their faction quest is really good and even a little tense (until the AI fucks up and the monsters aren’t very scary)

compared to the Freestar Ranger quests it’s loving fantastic. so far Ryujin has the Rangers beat, too.

its why all the "bethesda no get fallout's deep setting and message" is always baffling to me and has gotten me this redtext. It's not a very tough nut to crack that the series came out around the 90s where being a gen x "america is kinda evil and bad" thing was tolerated in the aftermath of the cold war.
