Koei never cease to amaze me.
I thought Dynasty Warriors Online would be an awesome solution to this problem. But after playing it, Iām not so sureā¦
The problem with Dynasty Warriors Online is thatās itās an outdated F2P game that would have worked in the days it was originally released in asia (IIRC 2005). Now that everyone has a f2p game (and obviously much bigger/better ones) DWO gets lost. Itās passable at first but itās not what everyone expected it to be. (either co-op online hack n slashin or PvP.)
itās like a hybrid that gets boring real quick.
Exactly. DWO would have been fun in 2005, but Vindictus takes a huge shit all over it these days.
Eh? Tell me more about this Vindictus.
I played DWO for a bitā¦ it was OK at first, but it just had sooo many problemsā¦
-It relied on Peer to Peer for itās netcode. While that may work in places like Japan and South Korea, it has no place in the netcode of a NA or EU game. The lag was UNBEARABLE! Not to mention that many ISPs block P2Pā¦
-Battles were completely static. Instead of having opposing forces spawning in bases that charge the fields, or follow their commanding officer, or act in any way that felt like, well, a BATTLE, enemies just stood in predetermined spots and respawned endlessly. It never really felt like you were accomplishing anything by defeating enemies, unless that was the objective.
-No one really playing. Canāt really have a multiplayer game if you can never get into a match. (Then again, maybe this was because I played for Cao Caoā¦)
-No free roaming whatsoever, you spend the whole game locked in a single city that is really nothing more than a glorified menu system. Anyone who falls into the āExplorerā category of MMO/MUD players will have nothing to find here.
-Only a handful of maps.
-No built in voice chat. Because typing out a long message to your fellow officers in the middle of a fight isnāt going to get you killed at all, since you canāt move or attack while doing it. Nope, not going to be an issue at all.
-Stupid cash shop. I have to pay to form a GUILD?! Or get a desk that lets me GIFT ITEMS TO OTHER PLAYERS? WTF?
-And lastly, nothing in this game feels like it warrants the release of a F2P MMOG. Anything and everything in this game could have just been included as a multiplayer mode in a regular DW game.
Itās a decent action MMO by Nexon, and a semi-prequel to Mabinogi, another one of their games. (I say semi-prequel because between the two games, there are so many retcons and lore inconsistencies, that Word of God outright said that Vindictus takes place in an alternate universe.)
It also has itās problems, among them being gender locked classes, most customization items being locked behind a cash shop, and no open world whatsoever.
The biggest problem it has though, is a doozy: Itās published by Nexon. That alone should send you running in terror.
Whoa, thereās a DW8 already in the works? I guess I shouldnāt be too surprised, but there was a three year gap between DW6 and DW7. I know that gap was shorter when youāre taking the āEmpiresā games into account, but I donāt play those since theyāre usually exclusive to a console I donāt own. Seems like only yesterday I bought DW7, and I got it more or less on launch.
Oh well, Iām hyped. Fuck yeah for new mechanics, and fuck yeah Yue Jin and Li Dian! Only thing that doesnāt mesh well with me so far are the new character designs. This is the first time that the a lot of the new designs have struck me as being generic. My only hope is that Dong Zhuo is even fatter and uglier this time around.
The only game IMO worth playing by nexon is DFO and even thatās still a stretch. But at least you donāt NEED cash shop gear to be super beastly for most classes. You can still get by with decent drops but for PvP stuff, gear is a must and PvE is fun to me. Itās a nice throwback and homeage to classic hack n slash/beat em up games like Streets of rage/final fight with a mmo element thrown into it.
the 3 year game used to be 2 before Dynasty Warriors Gundam became a staple. But beforehand it was always a 1-2 year gap where they alternated between Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors. So their release schedule is something like:
Year 1: DW
Year 2: SW
Year 3: DW: Gundam
rinse and repeat. Mix in a few other musou games in between those years. This year though we got DW:G 3, WO3 and One piece so canāt complain too much. I assume sometime next year will be the release of Samurai Warriors 4.
Well damnā¦someone in China is leaking some DW8 info.
Take it as you will.

Could be either ZhenJiā¦or Sima Yiās wife.
If this is trueā¦FUCKING YES!!!
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing should be homies for lifeā¦please donāt make them metrosexual.
Guan Yingping is I guess Guan Yuās daugherā¦and was part of the reason Sun Quan attcked Jing Province.
No Cheng Pu for Wu?
I was banking for Liao Hua (Shu) to finally make the rosterā¦crud.
Wen Yang I hope is a beast.
Exactly!!! They really wanted you to pay money to repair your weapons. Fuck that. I also checked out Vindictusā¦I think Iāll rather wait for Age of Wulin. Whenever that comes out.
Still waiting on that Bleach musou w/ WO tag system. Whenever you switch to either Juha Bach or Aizen the stageās theme music stops. 
-Enemy does musou attack-
-Aizen activates musou. lifts the finger-
-music stops-
Too fucking good.
and whatās up with no Cheng Pu or Liao Hua. Itās like theyāre focused on making more metro/female folks than more well known or decorated officers first.
DW8 already? It hasnāt even been two years since 7 released. Wow. Well if they do decide to bring it out here in the states letās hope for multi console release. I really donāt want to have to buy a PS3 just to play these games.
first of all that supposed leak isnāt confirmed and we really donāt know how credible this leaker is, but it wouldnāt surprise me if more of the things posted turns out to be true. Also judging by recent history Iām not even going to waste my time buying this game for the 360 this time, Iām getting this for my PS3 straight up. I had to re-cop DW7 for PS3 just so I could fully enjoy DW7:XL.
yea at this point, itās pretty obvious the Warriors series is heavily biased towards PS3. (well everything but Samurai Warriorsā¦)

Xiahou Yuan returnsā¦with a new weapon that is a whip which can transform into a cane and a bow.
Zhen Ji

Zhen Ji is back with the fluteā¦and with a sexy dress[/details]
Kind of digging Cao Piās new look. I kind of didnāt like that white coat he had in DW7 for some reason. And heās back to using his DW5 weapon? Iāll take it I guessā¦ still wanted his longsword though. 
EDIT: Oh my Zhen Ji. :lovin:
Nigga I just came, Koei really gettin me hype for a game I prolly wonāt see for another 12 months. The more De-cloning the better, brb bout to go to koeiwarriors and read all the nerdgasms.
I like thisā¦
I like this even betterā¦more akin to the earlier DW games.
The cast is too big IMO for each to get a story mode.
I have DW7 on 360, and I just got DW7XL from gamefly for ps3. I was reading about it and it seems like XL for that game doesnāt really have much relevant new content, and Iāll have to level all the characters from scratch again. Iām just not sure if itās really worth it, Iām considering sending it back and just getting warriors orochi 3 instead
