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

Gracia’s new look is cute.

I’m all for Aya getting more fab in the fashion department. Love that chick.

and fucking Kenshin. The only guy in a warriors game who DOESN’T NEED ASSISTANCE.

I’m guessing there’s no word on a DW8 empires yet?

SW4 looks like it’s fun to play, I’m hoping for it’s localization.

Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa return in SW4…

[details=Spoiler]

Kato Kiyomasa

Fukushima Masanori

I liked Masanori better with the darker colors…[/details]

Sun Shangxiang’s 5th weapon in DW8 had to have been the most frustrating one for me to get so far. I thought that it was to kill Lu Gong after Sun Jian says to breach the castle. I spent like 15 rimes trying that…thinking that my timing was off. I did it ass in Chaos difficulty mind you.

Did some looking…and saw that the 2 minutes start after Sun Jian gives the order to Han Dang to attack the castle. I did that…and still didn’t get the weapon.

After 6 times…I came to realize that I may have been attacking Lu Gong too early because he never said that he was going to ambush Sun Jian.

So basically within the 2 minutes after Sun Jian gives the order to attack from the east: enter the castle from the east, wait until Lu Gong says he’s going to withdraw and ambush Sun Jian, THEN go after him. That’s how I got the weapon.

I like Masanori with the 1 sleeve out look. But I agree he looks better with the darker colors.

Oichi and Nagamasa Azai return in SW4…

…as does

DLC cosutmes for Oichi, Ina, Nene, and Gracia:

Basically…
Oichi wearing Ina’s outfit
Ina wearing Nene’s outfit
Nene wearing Oichi’s outfit
Gracia is a palette swap

Edit: Todo Takatora also returns…

Planning on getting a Gundam musou and was wondering which one is the best? Or should I just wait for Shin Gundam Musou?

My personal tier of DW: Gundam games released in the West so far…DWG3>DWG1>>DWG2.

Anything Gundam is like Bandai Namco’s (Yes, the name change is going to happen 4/1/14) biggest money maker…I feel it’s a matter of when they will announce publishing Shin Gundam Musou to the west.

Wish they would somehow release Extreme VS. Full Boost to the west…anyway some SW4 clips!

US getting XL/Complete Edition on March 25th…way sooner than I was thinking.

I still have to finish DW8. I unlocked all the stages and routes but I need to get the 4th weapons and do both sides of every campaign.

Watching HNK OVAs so I restarted Hokuto Musou. While in the series Kenshiro is my favorite character, in the game I prefer Rei and Souther. I’ve been playing this game a lot lately. I really don’t like Shin at all. I’ve cleared Shin’s and Rei’s Dream mode and currently working on Souther. I even hate Jagi as a character but his unique fighting style makes him enjoyable. I have to get back to DW7 XL but since Lu Bu is my favorite character, whenever I play as other characters I like, it feels redundant.

Shin Gundam Musou is coming to the West…but I heard digital release only though.
Likely means that it won’t be dubbed in English…I am okay with that.

at least it’s coming I guess. I seriously would like a physical copy though. I don’t like digital only games that are actual full fledge games.

If there is no dub in Gundam Reborn…**and **the OST is ripped apart like in the last game.
I’ll probably skip it until there is a sale/price drop.

Awesome…can’t wait.

Yo kinda a silly question, I got back into the Warriors franchise with DW Next on Vita, and I got North Star on hold. But I been wanting to play the Orochi series, now even though I know these games aren’t really played for story, should I just cop Orochi 3? or just start from Orochi 1 doing campaign, story or whatever they call it, and once I get to 3 just play the shit outta it?

Also about Shin Gundam Musou…I think I would prefer they just leave it with the Jap voices. I was disappointed not hearing Domon original voice when I checked out some DW Gundam stuff smh.

For story’s sake…play from the first Orochi game. It at least explains how the Warriors got sucked into the WO universe in the first place.
It’s looking likely that WO3U will be ported outside Japan…maybe by the time you finish Orochi 1 and 2 WO3U will be announced for the states.
