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

So glad that Koei didn’t try to metrosexualize Cheng Pu…

looks like its a PS4 exclusive


Dragon Quest Heroes getting a lot of free DLC this month…

Rarely do I see a new Dynasty Warriors site open simultaneously with the Japanese version…hoping for English dub.

Currently playing the game now.

Some thoughts:
[list]
[] The addition of a ‘Run’ action is great for movement overall, even though it’s limited to a non-action scenario (weapon sheathed; which occurs when there is no present enemy/threat, or enough distance separates you from the enemy/threat)
[
] The field maps ‘Wild Zones’ (2 of which I’ve encountered, so far) are relatively spacious, with possibly some potential of linking to one another, via shortcut opening, or such. Weather cycle is a nice touch as well. To me, it feels kinda like FFXII areas, in regards to traversal over/through an area.
[] The major castle-town functions as your hub (like the Stonecloud in DQH), with the field maps connecting to it.
[
] ‘War Zones’ are where the story-advancing stuff takes place, and sometimes are multi-stage affairs, but you can regroup/evac in between encounters. Some room/environment puzzle-type scenarios here-and-there.
[] ‘Vocations’ (Jobs) are an interesting additions. You can switch between Vocations and each keep their own level, skill point pool and used weapon proficiency, though switching to a ‘new’ Vocation starts you off at level 1. The weapon usage for each Vocation differs and functions similarly to existing/playable chars, in regard to movesets and skills/abilities. I think I would’ve liked Vocation stuffs more if there were a Create-A-Character option, or something.
[
] You can transform into certain monsters if you collect and use their medal in battle (Substitutes). Kinda fun running around as one of the enemy bigs and doing damage.
[/list]

Overall, I’m liking the game.
Kinda sucks that a number of chars are limited to Multiplayer usage only. Should’ve been unlockable, Musou style, or something.

New Warriors All Stars trailer…

My copy of Spirit of Sanada shipped.

Yaaaasss

Only played a bit of Spirit of Sanada…I think Masayuki’s moveset is great.
Only thing I don’t like about Masayuki’s moveset is when I hit his Musou on a standing character…the last hit often misses.

Dynasty Warriors 9 - History. Reborn

er…
i got Senran Kagura on sale on steam.
its like dynasty warriors or sengoku basara in terms of gameplay.
its fun.

I’LL GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND ON THE MECHANICS.

X=weak attack
Y=strong attack
combos just like dynasty warriors ala X X X Y type stuff
A=jump. can double and air recover
B=dash/dash cancel attacks
some attacks have launcher property, press B after to chase after opponent and continue air combo.
RB=block/parry
LB=transform
LB+y/x=either of your two ultimate attacks
RB+y=rage mode
up dpad=lock on/taunt
down dpad=burst/knockback…if i remember correctly

EDIT, this Senran game is straight up hype af. it makes me feel like im playing a strange cross between samurai warriors and arcana heart. not just because of the lolis but because the B button doing homing dashes after launcher is straight up arcana heart. its the same mechanic in DBZF. and that is what makes the game dope.

not to mention the defensive burst is just like burst in guilty gear.

Wei’s Man Chong has been added to the DW9 playable roster.

Ignore the site’s weapon translation for SSX…she gets her Chakrams back.

Diao Chan

Is it me or does Diao Chan end up wearing less clothes with each iteration?

Make it sound like a bad thing

that would be DW5(6 eng) or DW7(8 eng)

Gematsu was able to get some DW9 gameplay footage from Sony’s Chinajoy event…

i dont wanna sound like a animu fanboy…but i really wish that koei would make warrior games out of naruto, dbz, and bleach. out of all the top shonen jump series
Since they made one for One Piece, why not.
and i love the one piece game.
yeah there is Berserk and hokuto no ken…but still. more anime licenses couldnt hurt,

I mean, they are basically ALWAYS putting out new licensed games, it’s not like they are slacking in that regard. Before Berserk there was Attack on Titan too, which was pretty cool actually, albeit too simple

30 minutes of DW9 gameplay…Cheng Pu looks great.

Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Fate/Extella fucking came to steam!!!

its on sale for 44 bucks
