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

Ma Chao sporting the badass helmet again. Going back to being a god on horseback would be even better though.

Just to clarify even more, this applies to DW:G1 only. DW:G2 decided to scrap original mode in favor of the time-consuming Mission Mode.

Let’s hope DW:G3 gets Original Mode back. Maybe even an actual VS. Mode rather than the 2/3-hit KO’s that we have in 2.

Also, with DW6 Empires, other than choose your own story type gameplay, you get to make your own custom characters but their fighting style has to be based on an in-game character (I think you have 100 free slots?) along with a lot of free armor and BGM’s to download.

I’m thinking of getting Troy Musou just because of what it’s referencing. I just want to see the playable roster first; Achilles is definitely going to be broken :lol:

I take it you played both Gundam Musou games, so which of the two would you recommend me to get? I could get both as well too.
Also, what’s this Troy Musou?! Tell me more about it!

Honestly? If you can afford to wait a while (or are up to importing, if you have the means), just get Gundam Musou 3. 3rd game will add more units, and will even have 4 PLAYER ONLINE COOP.

I honestly wouldn’t bother with Troy Musou. It’s being made by basically the equivalent of Koei’s “janitors” in Canada. If you want something different, wait a few months for the likes of Trinity: Zill O’ll Infinite (PS3), Omega Force’s first real foray in the “Action-RPG”. Any game that allows me to SPD Beyonders and give generic goblins Hyaku-retsu Kens is immediately on my watch. :lol:

[Nikkowar]

Bah, so now I have to get ANOTHER Xtreme Legends? I liked Gracia, though…can someone bring back Magoichi’s alt from SW1 please? :lovin:

AND bring back Ise-Nagashima on the soundtrack?

[akumatrunigga]

I’ve played DWO so far and I find it enjoyable but the problem is it can be a framerate issue when you’re surrounded by enemies trying to run. Online team party? no lag issues so far

[Nikkowar]

Yeah, me and my brother glitched in SW2:XL today.

Mitsuhide’s Dream, Expert Mode. 2 player Me-Mitsuhide, brother-Magoichi.

We’re in the middle of fighting Toshiie, Katsuie, and two random generic officers. On his screen, Magoichi is KO’ed, laying face first on the ground, KO music comes up,font says “Magoichi Defeated”

Next thing I know, it goes to giving me and the brother points, and says that we completed the stage, stage is done, end credits go.

Anything like this ever happen to anyone here?

[Geese_Pants]

New to me…all I know of is the [media=youtube]01KLGGuTzmo"[/media].
That has actually happened to me.

I enjoy Warriors Orochi, but it’s mostly because of the Samurai Warriors cast so by default, Samurai Warriors gets my vote for favorite Koei series.

In addition to the roster Samurai Warriors has, I find the movesets to be more fun to play with when compared with the Dynasty Warriors series (e.g., Normal progression characters like Akechi Mitsuhide along with Charge progression characters like Hattori Hanzo).

So I managed to snag Gundam Musou 2 :woot: Been playing Amuro’s story mode and am now in the 5th battle I think (I’m fighting M’quve). How exactly am I supposed to damage Giant Gundams? All I know is to do a charge attack and the attack their weak points but I can’t seem to position myself in time to attack those weak points.

That’s pretty much it. Either Charge Attack them or hit them in the weak spot to make them stumble, then hit them with a Musou or another Charge Attack to knock them down. When downed, do whatever for big damage.

There’s a Trinity: Souls Of Zill O’ll demo on the Japanese PS Store. Unfortunately, you have to choose a quest before it’ll let you go out and start fighting, so some folks may have a hard time fumbling through the menus.

After just dabbling with the three characters (and not understanding much of the tutorials given), they all seem fairly unique. Hero seems well-rounded, big guy can knock stuff over & then pick it up as a weapon, and the girl can air-dash & do little air combos.

None of the character dialogue I saw had voice-overs. Not a big deal, but considering this is an RPG & Omega Force’s penchant for in-game chatter, it would’ve been nice.

Overall I could see myself picking this up. Unless something else gets announced, it should do fine at scratching my annual RPG itch.

[Tizoc]

I guess there’s no voice acting because it’s a demo?
I’ll try to snag a copy of this eventually, I liked what the trailer offered.

Some new DW7 info has cropped up…thanks, KoeiWarriors!

Brief summary of the latest DW7 details:
There will be more than 60 characters in total (That means between 61-69).

The Other force does not have a story mode, but players will be able to use the Other characters in Chronicle Mode.

Both consoles (PS3 & 360) will support the stereoscopic 3D.

Weapons have been revealed for several characters. DaQiao’s weapon from Multi Raid 2 (Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce 2) will not return.

Each character will have 2 different kinds of Musou attacks. All characters’ first Musou attacks are normally executed on the ground. For the secondary Musou attack, some characters will have either an Alternate Ground Musou or Jump/Aerial Musou.

For some important large battles, it will be split into two parts, so you can have two character perspectives (ex: Shu’s Chang Ban stage, 1st Part: Zhao Yun, 2nd Part: Zhang Fei).

Morale bar is gone, but the morale system itself still exists and will be reflected from officer messages and such.

DLC (Downloadable Content) is confirmed to be added.

Some weapons will have aerial combo.

There are no current plans for a PSP release.
The game will be released on March 25, 2011 for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in Europe. TECMO KOEI US has hinted about the North American release date on their twitter account, that everyone worldwide will be able to play the game in March 2011.

This game would not be without Lu Bu…

[CyberAkuma]

There are some Gundam Musou 3 updates to be had as well.

Heavyarms Kai joins the party as the 4th Gundam W addition. Acguy and Kapool, too. Guncannon is also now a “Tier 1” suit.

And speaking of another Tier 1 suit: Here’s a vid of Hamarabi.

Yeah, Lu Bu is my boy. He’s always my strongest character in whatever DW I play.

How good is Strikeforce? I want a DW game in my collection before DW7 drops. I passed on 6 because I heard that a lot of people got spears like Sun Ce.

[Geese_Pants]

DW6 is basically the definition of “Mash Square till victory”.
I feel bad because Sengoku Basara kinda killed my motivation to continue playing DW6/Empires…and DW: Gundam.
I’d suggest checking out the Strikeforce Demo first.

We already knew Gundam Musou 3’s online play was being beefed up with four player co-op support. At the game’s completion ceremony event earlier today, Namco Bandai revealed another way the game will refine the online experience: background matchmaking.

Gundam Musou 3 can be set to have matching take place in the background. This means you’ll be able to play the game’s story mode while you’re being matched up with other players for an online play session.

And DLC news via Koeiwarriors…

At the Gundam Musou 3 (Gundam Warriors 3 / Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3) special event which has just ended a while ago, it was revealed by Bandai and KOEI that there will be priced DLC (Downloadable Content) for the game. These will include extra playable characters and mobile suits.

So far the confirmed DLC additions are the NZ-666 Kshatriya piloted by Marida Cruz from Mobile Suit Gundam UC, and GNX-Y901TW Susanowo (currently under development) piloted by Mr. Bushido from Mobile Suit Gundam 00. More additional playables can be expected later.

There are 2 demos for this game actually, if one can’t deal with Japanese menu DL the old one, it is pretty straight fighting.

Judge by the 2nd demo there will be main quest, side quest, missions, arena, items, upgrades etc (most are tradition RPG elements). XP are shared between 3 characters in the demo, you can spend the XP freely to upgrade the characters moves freely it seems.

wow, the DOA crossover caught me off guard…im guessing the other crossover fights are from different DW games and other series as well…

im starting to grow fond of strikeforce…
