It still might be beneficial using another series' IP and (in this case, relative) popularity.

A lot of DW fans are also fans of RotK, but not all of them.

Besides, they wouldn't have to waste time and resources coming up with designs that don't infringe on any other company's interpretation of the characters.

A Musou game with the Soulcalibur setting, of course.

Hell, Soulcalibur 1-3 was pretty much built for a musou game.

And if Koei wants their fighting game to be good, they probably need an outside studio. I say that with all the love in my heart.

How would you feel about this roster in a fighting game featuring Dynasty Warriors characters?

Starting roster:
1) Zhao Yun
2) Guan Yu
3) Zhang Fei
4) Guan Yinping
5) Xiahou Dun
6) Yue Jin
7) Dian Wei
8) Xiahou Yuan
9) Zhou Yu
10) Xu Sheng
11) Lu Xun
12) Sun Shangxiang

Unlockable:

13) Ma Chao
14) Wei Yan
15) Zhuge Liang
16) Liu Bei
17) Zhang Liao
18) Zhang He
19) Cao Pi
20) Cao Cao
21) Gan Ning
22) Lu Meng
23) Taishi Ci
24) Sun Quan

25) Diaochan

Lu Bu as unplayable boss

DLC:
1) Huang Zhong
2) Xu Zhu
3) Sun Ce
4) Lu Bu

5) Yueying
6) Cao Ren
7) Zhenji
8) Zhou Tai

This was pretty difficult, as you've got to balance representation of both new and old titles alike, with classic fan favorites. I saw fit to include every character from the first game as a homage. I really wanted Xu Huang, but eh. Cao Pi should probably be in before him. It also made sense to balance the female side of the roster a bit, since they're pretty popular. Finally, the newer games(post-DW6 generation) feature one character each from Wei, Shu, and Wu. The only unbalanced faction is Wei, with one more character than Wu or Shu, with the DLC.

DW1 reps: 14 (Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Taishi Ci, Sun Shang Xiang, Diaochan, Lu Bu)

DW2 reps: 8 (Ma Chao, Liu Bei, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, Sun Quan, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Yuan)

DW3 reps: 4 (Wei Yan, Zhang He, Sun Ce, Zhenji)

DW4 reps: 3 (Yueying, Cao Ren, Zhou Tai)

DW5 reps: 1 (Cao Pi)

DW7 reps: None. Unfortunately, DW7 focused primarily on late era characters and none of them seem particularly popular enough to warrant a spot over either the more popular or recent characters. Wang Yuanji would be out of place and the only one I would consider is Ding Feng, who is also relatively out of place.

DW8 reps: 2 (Yue Jin, Guan Yinping)

DW9 reps: 1 (Xu Sheng)

Comes to 33 characters overall, 5 female.

Things you did wrong

Using your awakening too soon

Not blocking

Wasting your substitutions

Trying to chakra dash with no chakra

Not side dashing a ranger character's projectiles

Using Gaara with that assist

There's other stuff, but those are the main issues.

My first question was "Well, can't you block?" lol

1 is one of my single favorite movies of all-time.

I hold in it in a similar regard to Machete, the Lethal Weapon series, and the first Avenger movie.

You can't get it just by being in line, though. It flat out stops at 1 PM.

I thought Warriors All-Stars was supposed to be the 'new' Orochi series?

All-Stars was supposed to be, yes. But it sold like shit, and the core fanbase didn't like it.

Afterall, it was a shallow(even for this series) parody game that contained.... a 10th of the usual cast? After the fanbase had been clamoring for a 4th Orochi game for ages? It left a sour taste in everyone's mouth before it ever came out. Sadly, that seems to be sort of similar to what's happening with DW9, and what happened with DW6.

do_ob_tpkillr posted...

How do they plan to rehash the Orochi storyline again? They already had his corpse and essence fight the player to no avail.

Or are they going with a new enemy (e.g. tamamo) and just leave the "Orochi" name there for branding purposes?

Yeah, I've always sort of had this thought.

I would expect a new antagonist(and accompanying protagonist), but Orochi's scythe is in the trailer.

In any case, he's only ever been a simple excuse to bring the Dynasty and Samurai cast together even in the first game, so it only matters so much lol

I'm hoping we see Izanagi and Izanami and the central figures this time, but I feel like it's a safe bet that we'll be seeing Amaterasu and the focus will be on her and Susano'o. Seems like the next logical step.

Hail Hydra

Oh, okay. Nice!

Game's a blast, dude.
---

Hail Hydra

I don't really know, as I haven't finished NoA2.

I just hate the concept in general and feeling rushed.

Also, if you enjoy WO3, I'd still recommend getting the expansion if you can. Or really, maybe even just trading in vanilla towards it.

The base game's still pretty good, but Ultimate added like.... 45-50% more story. And the extra characters and features in general, are just flat out worth it.

Gauntlet Mode's a blast and there's a color editor, akin to the SNK games, albeit much simpler.
---

Hail Hydra

I don't know if she's 4 or not. In fact, we really only know about Yuki and Zhao Yun for sure lol

The NoA series is pretty fun, it's just got that awful Majora's Mask-eque time limit in it. I don't know why that ever became a thing in the industry ;_;

I didn't play much of the first game due to control issues on PC, but Arnice was fun as shit in Warriors All-Star, which was an otherwise pretty crappy game.

If you haven't played WO3 yet, I can't recommend WO3U enough. It's legitimately one of the best games in the entire Warriors franchise.

I'm too basic for all of the food in this thread.

Wouldn't be a whole lot different from how I occasionally feel.

Spank his face.

Hail Hydra

Besides, WO3 is already on the new-gen consoles and you can clearly see Zhao Yun in his DW8 armor.

So like WO3, we're likely getting characters from the previous DW game and not the current one.

I would be surprised if we didn't get SW4 characters, though.
---

Hail Hydra

Nope.

Warriors Orochi 2 was something along the lines of "Return of Orochi" or something like that in Japan.

It's no different from the main series here.

This is WO4.



^That's the Japanese name of WO2.

There's like no reason they couldn't make it control like a car in another open world game.

I agree with this. I wonder if they just didn't bother to make it so it wouldn't get stuck on anything.

I hate that it fucking breaks, turns, etc. automatically.

And it'll outright refuse to make some turns.

Annoying.
---

Hail Hydra

Woah, you can do that? That's awesome.

But by limited, I mean the whole car's pretty much on-rails. And it's shitty that you can't take it like it is off-road.
---

Hail Hydra

I wouldn't be surprised if I rolled like this the entire game.

On another note, why did they limit the driving so much ;_;

Oh, I gotcha.

Thanks!

Oh, well. Least the gameplay looks gud.

I just got it, but I might put off playing it until the weekend.

By open up, I just mean getting past the tutorial, free to cruise the world at your leisure, and use the other characters.

You can use the other characters, right? I'm not sure if I give a fuck about Noctis(thanks Tekken), but black mullet guy seems right up my alley.
