I remember a really cool couple of scenes in Kessen II. Kessen II is even more removed from reality than the novel OR Dynasty Warriors, but that's okay because it makes up for it with awesome. After you finish playing as Shu, you switch over to Wei to see Cao Cao's side of things and it puts him in a more complicated role than you'd imagine from the start. One of your officers is Zhang Liao and he has to perform a one-on-one duel with Guan Yu to delay his unit during one battle--you even get a cutscene where they're whirling their spears against each other like blenders. Guan Yu and Zhang Liao reminisce about how they once fought a duel to win the favor of a woman--and Guan Yu won. *clang!* Guan Yu knocks away Zhang Liao's weapon. "Just like I won this time!" But then in a later battle, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu have a rematch with the same purpose--to delay Guan Yu's unit. While they're again whirling away at each other, Zhang Liao asks "Say, that girl…did you marry her?" "I sure did." Zhang Liao smacks Guan Yu's weapon away and says "Then go back to her." Badass.

It does make it kind of weird when you have a DW as an actionized heroic epic that devotes the final chapter to the supervillains after they won and killed everybody, though.

You can still do musous and so on without the EX Weapon, it's just that that particular weapon gives that character extra moves. So they'll be able to use it better than anyone else. Sometimes this doesn't make a big difference, sometimes it does. It's best to have two different weapons with two different affinities just so you can mix it up situationally. You can't have three weapons for all three affinities, mostly because this would break the rock/paper/scissors thing they've got going on.

Sakurazuka posted:Just off the top of my head: Also: replaced the neat skill tree system with a system that gives you stat-ups for killing enemies with particular attacks--you don't have to think as much about upgrading, but that takes the fun out of upgrading and turns it into more of a grind. They also don't have the "make seven stars appear during one mission" system, too, I think. That was basically Ken's Rage 1's self-imposed challenge system, you'd get bigger and better rewards, but the bosses got insanely tougher if you made all seven stars appear during story missions, and you'd need to hit a hundred buttons in sequence without screwing up during the finishing move. But if you could pull it off, you'd feel like a badass.

Ken's Rage 1 gave you the highlights of the FOTNS story while Ken's Rage 2 had all the superfluous side-stories crammed in there at once for volume's sake, but quantity did not equal quality either.

Warriors Orochi 3's Himiko is basically just a less-gaudy version of her, and I think it's hilarious. Japan's ancient queen, back when she was a goofy teenager with super magic powers. (Her shaman vest is pretty awesome though)

The GIG posted:I think my favorite thing about the Orochi series is how Wu always seems to go out of its way to do nothing, to the point where in 3 by the end of chapter 1, Shu has a few Tiger generals running around, Wei has Jin representing it, and Japan has a decent amount of the Toyotomi Clan, but Wu only has the bodyguards, only one of which really does anything and just get SSX and she is pretty much entirely a delivery device for Kai. Also everyone's coloring scheme makes no drat sense by this point as we have a billion different alliances and everyone's all mixed up.

Policenaut posted:Orochi 3 Ultimate is pound for pound the densest game in franchise history when it comes to content. There's over a hundred characters and hundreds of hours worth of content, granted that they don't explain who any of the characters are. Empires really can't stand against O3U in terms of content. Plus its structure is so FUN. Every new major mission you complete, you get at least one new guy to play with. "Gotta catch 'em all!"

U.T. Raptor posted:Also the janky MH item system is replaced with something much more intuitive, and there's a lot of QoL stuff like not having to sheath your weapon to run (who thought that was a good idea?) and being able to lock on to enemies. Also, your teammates are cool and good and actually useful. I have played Freedom Wars, but I never got too far into it. The premise was pretty hilariously grim; a prisoner who's essentially a slave working off an infinite amount of time and you get docked for every little violation. Attacking the giant robots was interesting but it got a bit samey. And none of the guns seemed half as useful as the swords!
