The Dynasty/Samurai/Gundam/Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Warriors thread

So can we come to the conclusion that multi hitting weapons are king in this game due to the storm rush mechanic? being able to activate it during block on projectile moves is pretty silly.

This. Being able to be Prime Obi Wan fighting legions of droids/ anybody you wanna alternate universe in, would be sheer awesomesauce. Also with empire mode that lets you choose to fight for either side ala Rebellion style would be immense.

The rest of us are getting Pirate Warriors 2 on Sept. 3rd…

Chen Gong and Zhu Ran will make their debuts as playable characters…

still reading as ā€œnot cheng puā€ and ā€œnot cheng puā€

after playing more DW8 though, i’m not a fan of most of the new characters included in this one. Outside of Guan Yingping and Wen Yan, everyone else is just kinda there or doesn’t show much interest.

Xu Shu though. that guy is fun.

Say hello to Zhu Ran…

I was hoping he’d be a bit more gruff looking…but I guess it makes sense since Zhu Ran hangs with Lu Xun.

I wish they would stop making every War hardened badass look like a pretty boy whos never done a day of work in his life.

…and here’s Chen Gong.

Chen Gong’s EX weapon is bamboo sticks…in which some charge attacks calls in NPC troops.
Zhu Ran’s EX weapon is the Blaze Bow.

Characters are possibly getting additional EX attacks.

More what if stages.

Lu Bu gets expanded storyline…and what-ifs.

Word is that this will be the biggest XL expansion in terms of content and characters…which means there are more characters coming.

Read Zhao Yun won a Japanese poll for who you’d most want to be your boyfriend. No wonder that guy is on every cover of DW. Best part about Zhao Yun was dropping an infant Liu Shan on his head but not telling anyone about it when Zhao Yun was rescuing him at Changban. Would explain why Liu Shan grows up to become such a tool later in life.

As for the new characters. Once again guys like Cao Hong is ignored. The cousin of Cao Cao and series vet since DW2 stays relegated to generic officer status. I wouldn’t mind seeing more Nanman guys added in the future, like Dailai Dongzhu. Oh and every game needs a butt monkey, I know Guan Suo sorta fits the bill but that title is Ma Su’s to lose. C’mon Koei, add Ma Su already!

My issue is that Zhu Ran gets in before Cheng Pu…and that Zhu Ran’s design doesn’t make him look like an archer.
Then again, neither does Xiahou Yuan.

Lu Bu getting a more expanded storyline and what-ifs, and Chen Gong debuting…is okay in my book.

Chen Gong looks pimp.

I also don’t like the fact there are a increasing number of pretty boys now over vets or officers that have been around for the majority of the storyline. (Cheng pu, Liao Hua, etc.) I get it but it’s also kinda sad. (hell even Liu Bei’s design has changed from a bearded man to pretty boy.)

I would like to see some more ā€œotherā€ castmembers if just to increase their output in characters. Zuo Ci was the last ā€œotherā€ character that was new right? That was back in DW5.

It wasn’t him thought.
It was Liu Bei himself that throwed Liu Shan on the ground

Kyubi No Kitsuno joins the WO3:U cast…her choice of attack is her 9 tails.

Someone educated me on who the hell she is?

What this man said. Never heard of this character.

She’s new…no motives of her, but she is likely a villain.

New Trailer for WO3U

They have color edit mode in there also?
Fuck…please bring this to the states.

don’t care who new chick is but I think she might have just dethroned Da Ji as my WO girl.

I’m really starting to think that Kitsune lady will end up being the fusion of Mae Tamamo and Da Ji…considering in lore they are supposed to be the same person.
