The GIG posted:I'm getting back into the series after a couple of years since playing DW Advanced (And if that doesn't count then my last game was DW2 and holy poo poo is this series old) with Next and I'm looking into the Orochi series. Should I bother tracking down the first couple of games to get the full story or just say "gently caress it" and download 3 and start kicking rear end with Achilles? This is just me, but I really wouldn't bother with the WO 1 and 2 and just go straight to 3. The story is really not worth burning yourself out on the gameplay since it doesn't change drastically between installments. Get 3 and start unlocking the crazy amount of characters and go nuts!

Anonymous Robot posted:Dang, I just looked at the pricing for PSN. If you wanted to get all the costumes and weapon packs you're out like $40. Guess I'll have to wait for 75% off! Might be waiting a while. I don't think I've ever seen any of the DW games go that deep on sale.

quakster posted:The console version of the complete edition came out way before all the DLC, not that you'd know without looking it up. To add to this. The current DW games have had a crap load of DLC, all ridiculously priced on consoles. There's precedent. Granted, PC gamers aren't used to the way Koei prices and releases their DLC so I can understand the frustration.

Hakkesshu posted:SW 4 is great, but I really don't like the whole standard bearer mechanic. In effect it just makes you run around looking for a hidden NPC and sometime's he's not even there (?). It's weird, there seem to be other ways to decrease morale, but nothing I've found to be consistent. They're marked on the map with flag icons. Also, named officers have the same type of effect on soldiers. I think if the map shows a darker shade of red then that means an officer is the one giving them a life boost. I could be wrong though.

ImpAtom posted:Tecmo-Koei has fairly reliable profits. They make low-budget games for a dependable audience bolstered by the occasional surprise hit. They're not a super-duper high-profit company but they don't need to be. Yeah, the continued existence of this series with it's incremental updates is only rivaled by Madden and Call of Duty. Not a slight against the Warriors series. I'm just as hooked as anyone It's just a game you can zone out to and I'm glad it fills that niche very well with how packed the content is in each recent game.

Rutibex posted:I haven't played a Dynasty Warriors game in a long while, I think the last one was on the DW4 on PS2. I was thinking about getting one of the newer ones to see how far its come after 4 versions. Which one should I get for the most content bang for my buck: Warriors Orochi 3 or Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires? What is the difference between Orochi 3 and Orochi 3: Ultimate? I don't care about story or whatever I have played through the three kingdoms more than enough I just care about how many levels/characters/modes the game comes with and how replayable it is. Just to echo everyone else, Orochi 3 Ultimate is what you want. It is Orochi 3 but with several new characters and updates to game mechanics.

Takoluka posted:I enjoyed some of the demo's mechanics, so I looked into gameplay footage. It seems pretty par for the course as far as Musou games go, but from what I saw, it was pretty faithful to the Arslan anime. I absolutely loved Heroic Legend of Arslan, so being able to essentially play all the cool stuff that I watched is incredibly appealing to me. I pre-ordered this as soon as it went up on Amazon (for some reason, it's getting here tomorrow, but I can live with that). If anyone's really on the fence about it, I can trip report it tomorrow evening. I'd like to hear your thoughts, at least.

Awesome Welles posted:poo poo, if they could get Hirasawa to do another theme song then it's a step in the right direction at least. I enjoyed the Ken's Rage games also. Maybe not as much as the other musous but they weren't outright terrible, to me, at least. I definitely hope the Berserk musou tries something different, for the better. Hirasawa does some great themes for Berserk's various multimedia outings. I was about to comment that Berserk doesn't have any butt rockish stuff but then I remembered the Penpals's intro to the anime. I like it even though it's pretty engrishy. The outro is good too. For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TRemrRaPjc Here's a lyric video for "Forces 2" from Sword of the Berserk that came out on the Dreamcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbQIgJagZZ4 HPanda posted:Hmmmm.....Dark theme, giant monsters, musou game? Get ready, fellahs. We're about to get "Berserk Warriors: Now every level is Thriller Bark"! The anime is really good. I think it's slow pace is a point in it's favor. Then it goes off the loving rails, in a good way I feel, at the end. The manga was good till it started to drag. I haven't kept up with it at all. I can't imagine having to craft a huge story for an audience that just eats up your work without getting burned out. No wonder Kentaro Miura escaped to Idolm@ster.

Maybe not a Witcher Musou but a more western influenced Musou will be in order.

Bloodly posted:Tricky. As the system tends to sway back and forth between 'changing things up' and returning to what the fans claim they enjoyed, whilst still advancing(to an extent) everything else. Currently the system is in a mess, as battlefield control is the hardest it's ever been; the Morale system being too harsh, and you can't reduce the enemy's appreciably. It really does become 'you vs everyone'-your allies have lost their power. I've been addicted to this series since Dynasty Warriors 2 and I really appreciated this post I'm going to print it out and frame it.
