Dynasty Warriors 9

Fuck, she looks good. She's not white though. A mutt?

She's Nanman, basically southern Chinese.

She looks like tanned european bitch. Nowhere near asian.

Tbh koei games only exist to be milked for money. Fucking SW4 got 4 games (SW4, SW4-II, SW4 Empires, SW4 Sanada).

Open world elements look really bland and empty. Even more so than BotW was. The other additions to the game look quite neat though. I'm still waiting for them to make enemy AI that does more than just standing around waiting for you to slaughter them by the hundreds.

5. Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 was based on the 4 system and characters.

Uh oh.
Oh boy, just what Musou needed.
Meh.
It might not be as bad as open world would normally imply, simply because I don't think Omega Force is competent enough to implement an actual open world. I bought DW8 on launch, I'll give this a pirate first and then probably buy the good version that comes out 6 months later.

Stopped caring for Dynasty Warriors after 4. Felt like it was going the madden route with minimal changes and I didn't see how it could innovate within it's constrained box. Did anything change from 5-8 or was it the same old, same old.

If it has enough depth it could be fun. I mean, it's not like open world will do much to make the gameplay worse.

Can I marry more than one waifu ala ROTK XIII?

They revamped the combat to be based on light attacks, contextual strong attacks, and R1 plus a button to force certain contexts on enemies like being in the air, shoved to the ground, etc.

It's likely a friendship/bonds system where each officer gives you certain rewards and/or changes their text when interacting with you.

No, if for no other reason than the scripted ending cutscene they paste your wife's model onto won't support more than one.

Open World games used to be well designed newnigger

Fucking KOEI. God damn them to hell.

I've never played a GTA game I've wanted to really explore too much.

I played 6-8 and found them vastly different.
6 is a showcase of amazing level design, but basically completely says "fuck it" to the actual combat, while also making some neat level up trees and horse training that was fun. However, apparently some retards complained that the combat was the core of DW gameplay, which is idiotic, and is now considered the worst in the series.
DW7 is hot garbage, going for Cinematic experiences and historical accuracy. I quit it the moment it had me play at the start of the battle as the Shu forces until the Shu forces had the advantage, and then switched me over to the Wei forces because they demanded i always play as the losing side. Maybe it had some good shit, but I didn't stick around long enough to find out
DW8 doesn't have great level design, but is solid and fun, and has a full historic campaign for each faction, and an alternate history route where you get a "what if" they won their major battle where shit turned around for them. Not an amazing game, but as a history nerd that shit got my dick rock hard. Also includes a game mode where you start as one character of your choosing and collect up all the other officers by defeating them in battle and building up your own little base. It wasn't a great game mode, but if they do that same exact thing but in an open world setting in DW9 that'll be worth a few hundred hours of play time probably.

Weird. Her face is European by she is somehow wearing clothes of Afrikan origins. She's definitely been blacked.

FLYING INTO FREEEEE

...

I remember in DW6 the exchange you would hear if you stomped hard enough at Guan Du
Enemy Officer:They're holding the forts! We can't break through!
Yuan Shao:Send in Wen Chou! He'll take care of them
Enemy Officer: Wen Chou is already slain!
Enemy forces are demoralized

I look forward to the special quotes when you go full Lu Bu in battles and ignore all the optional historical side missions.

Lu Lingqi is still cute.

I'm sorta glad her weapon changed. I could not get the hang of the boomerang properties of her/DW6 Lu Bu's weapon.

...

As long as chinese sonic is still chinese sonic in DW9 i'm happy.

Agreed, it's good stuff.

Not really, although special moves seem to refrence/copy the original musou attacks returning characters with new weapons have.

Oh boy I can't wait to see what cheese KT give Zishang this time around.

GTA, there's your problem, and San Andreas and V were really good for this.

rip sheet

Admittedly I only played 3 and I didn't get why it was so lauded.

Are you retarded? Everyone in this game is Chinese.

This thread will be in a panic if I were to make a move.

You're doing it wrong.

I WILL OPT TO STAY ALIVE AND RE-TREAT.

...

Bitch, choose.

But I want all the waifus. Why won't the game let me be Rance?

Also, excellent choice for waifu.

I'm surprised nobody ever calls me out on having police brutality as my bodyguard, since he kind of betrayed his own nation.

I assume you have him on the hypothetical path.

I want the operator beard of Guan Yu

Look out, here I come!
Oh wait, wrong game.

(checked)
I didn't know we had Anons with such great taste here. Unfortunately she's always the lowest ranked female on popularity polls.

A harem is a harem. Those aren't your waifu, they're just thirsty sluts.

In more civilized times we used to burn heretics like you.

They FUCKING took based Sun Ce's tonfas again.
I am SEETHING

That man has the purest soul

Oh no, a dyke!

Because she's not moe-moe kawaii desu nee, and the nips don't recognize any other type of personality as even being feminine.

Same.

...

Who wouldn't? Her, Yue Ying and Wang Yi….mmph…perfection.

You're a mongrel and deserve to be whipped.

I SHALL BE YOUR OPPONENT!

I don't hate it, I'm just not good at using it. Also introducing it as Lu Bu DW6 weapon was a bad idea.

You mean the cross polearm thing that Lu Bu has? Never got the hang of that either…also, that thing is somehow useless in Strikeforce.

The only weapon manlier or assumingly more effective than dual halberd is dual peasant and you should be ashamed.

Strikeforce 3 Liu Bei looks amazing in that image.

I didn't really get into these games until Hyrule Warriors and even though it is simple they are really fun I got Fire Emblem Warriors and I feel like I'm missing a lot because I never played the FE games but one thing I really like about it is being able to command your other officers on where to go and who to fight. Gives it more of an RTS feel which I though was really needed in Hyrule Warriors. Anyway do modern DW games have that? I might give them a try if they do.

The Dynasty Warriors Empires and Samurai Warriors Empires games do that, can't go wrong with either DW8E or SW4E.

I want fujofags to go away

I thought fujofags perved out on Zhao Yun?

I think it's fair to say they're inclined to Shu in general

...

Since when is Lu Bu affiliated with Wu you poor excuse for a court eunuch?

You need to reread what you're replying to bud

I'm replying to a bitch shitting on halberds, someone legitimately suggesting fujofags go for Zhao Yun and now (You). Unless you fucked up your proxies and mixed up your own IDs I don't see your point?

I want to make Aryan babies with her.

It's gonna be fun but I can't get into Chinese Musou with JapVA work. That's why my fave is Samurai Warriors/Sengoku Musou 4

YES
shame we don't get to see it

Dude it's China. Ancient anime China.

You probably don't want to see that considering this is what kids look like in 8E, Kudos to Omega Force for trying but…

feels bad man

It werks.
Black Desert Online is exactly that but with 5 times less movesets and p2w micrortansactions. And it's still kinda fun to play through the story once.
And DQH2 also toyed around it with overworld map.
Meaning real open world musou without MMO cancer and licensed game's limitations is gonna be pretty good overall.

I played the demo and felt bad slaughtering hundreds of slimes that didn't seem to wanna fight back. :( That said fuck everything that's larger than you.

It can't be any worse than just rehashing the exact same game however many times over.

Seems good

Ling what did they do to you? Whole reason I loved using her was her combos were fast moving, area of effect and could run, attack, then run again very quickly. Think the sword and shield won't be as fun. Hmm, If I play as her though, would there be a chance to change her weapons to another style?

...

That dude has some overcompensation problems lol.

I didn't see custom characters in there. That is disappointing. Any word if they're in this or will they somehow make an empires spinoff of this one as well?

I wish they'd bring back that one mode from DW5, the one where you're some grunt under one of the characters and eventually you gain their weapons and moves and whatnot, and you can double cross your general or even double cross the ones who are asking you to double cross, and your original general goes nuclear if he sees you after you switch sides.

I've gotten some good looking kids in 8E, but it's like 1/20 times do they come out looking reasonable.

It literally says in the top left that he's going to betray you.

Nah he's just really short.

They almost never have custom characters in mainline games and they almost always make an Empires spinoff.

I kinda figure Ling might keep him off my back that or Zhuge can come up with a good plan to deal with him.

I liked dynasty warriors because the cool kicking movesets, but it always felt kind of pointless having these massive battles when the only thing that mattered were the officers. Am I misunderstanding how the game is meant to work? Did I play the wrong one?

Depends what you mean by mattered. If you want the mooks, which are just abstracted pickups in the newer games, to be able to kill you then play an older DW like DW4. If you want troop numbers to play an impact on the battle then play Empires and stop complaining that it's too easy and actually up the difficulty setting.

Mah boy Zhou Tai is back with his Katana? YES!

Oh, yeah that was the issue.
Thanks senpai

Feels way too good.

I'm only interested in Empires.

And I hope a new Samurai Warriors with the features of Dynasty Warriors come soon.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires, I mean.

He looks baller as fuck too. I'm not so keen on the weapon though but it could have been something much worse.

In my opinion the only good games were the Empire ones. This franchise can only escape it's own lack of content and repetitiveness by adding features and making the basic grunts super deadly and aggressive. Open world is a meme and doesn't look like it will fix the problem with these kinds of games.

Kill yourself.

This will go well

That actually looks marginally interesting for a musou. Probably wont play it though. Still a musou.

Some of the features of DW9 are already in Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada such as the fishing and item collection. In that game you go out in the homelands of the Sanada for very minor quests and run around a little, smack some bandit asses and return home. Kinda feels like padding.

It wouldn't be a musou thread without half the posters being people who don't like musou's and yet voluntarily enter and then lurk for five hours every musou thread to make sure everybody knows they still don't like musous.
At least hyrulefags haven't arrived.
Other franchisefags are just as hypocritical but I shouldn't complain, these half-assed spinoff's are paying for the development of DW9's new engine so all's well that ends well I guess.

Booo. I want the guy with the giant boat or Lui Bei's son who used a table, I remember the weapon style alot more than "guy in green using rapier" as opposed to "guy in light blue using rapier."

Jin got screwed. It seems to me that they're consolidating around some core weapon styles that get shared among different characters, which sucks because a unique style for each character and 70 to choose from was a good selling point.

seems like overall design of weapons went from 11/10 over the top weeb shit to 9/10. just toning it down some and reducing some of the batshit crazy stuff.

Had to set speed to 2.0 just to drudge through it all. One of my favorite custom-style weapons was actually Pang De's dumb mace, even if it was shit. Being shared to a girl may help drag it along now, especially since the claws of absolute destruction are gone. Gonna miss that drill lance.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll offer a chance to let you bask in the nostalgic variety of weaponry you're used too… for a price.

I'm just annoyed they took out the old iconic shit like claws and tonfas while they were at it.

No rocket powered piledriver, no buy.

According to the wiki, it says stronger weapons can be crafted eventually provided you find the recipe. So maybe it will be included.
There's of course going to be DLC, so maybe it'll be included that way.
koei.wikia.com/wiki/Dynasty_Warriors_9

It does, but it's way faster than the way Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors have it where you basically have to replay battles in order to grind materials.

How the fuck will her enemies be gone and scatter before her?

You and me both, buddy. Becoming a human beyblade is the greatest thing about Lu Lingqi right after her being the best girl of course

Who cares?
DW was always shit.
(checked)
thx

Never played a Dynasty game before
Might be worth a pirate

8 Xtreme is a pretty good place to start, on PC and has a large roster of characters.

Most important LU BU CAMPAIGN

Don't play the Lu Bu campaign first

...

Looks decent, and they're actually trying the change up things. I think I might get this.

Same.

It's good, try it out. Don't expect some DMC levels of skills or something. It's the gaming equivalent of stress dolls.

...

yea

This is gay porn, right? That art style would work nicely with gay porn. Please give me the source. Feed me like a little baby bird

give me (you)s please I will be on topic (even though I've never played a mainline DW game and just spinoffs)
