Are you warriors ready for Dynasty Warriors 4?

Wow, I stand corrected then. You now have earned the right to be an ass-hole.

Why thank you, I agree.

End of discussion.

Indeed, i\'m touched we could come to an agreement  of idiocy at its best =)

"What does garner "special attenion" is the fact that people like me, have actually tried to make a change in the board and improve it."

Thats laughable, but hey...whatever you need to tell yourself:rolleyes:

I\'m gonna go "Lu Bu" on you people! So stop bickering!

This game is gonna be bad ass. Of course....the archers will be ever MORE annoying! But they just drive me more insane with murderous intent! WHOOO!

I can hardly wait to just jump into a crowd of enemies and just slash at them like Sauron did in Fellowship of the Rings movie (opening scene).

Fair enough, Unicorn, but at the same time. You can\'t say DW didn\'t make the beat\'em\' up more interesting or exciting. Large enviorments? Ditto! Massive amount of enemies on screen? Ditto! Decent story? Ditto! Massive amount of playable characters? Ditto! All these make the game a more "exciting" version of the classic beat\'em\'up\'s we are use to .

Large enviroments?Its almost like playing on a flat surface.You cant even admire the enviroments.Too much  fog.Massive amount of enemeis on screen but the game plays as if you are beating a few.You just press the buttons and your weapon hits 5 enemies simultaneously.Its not like dmc where you have to think about the enemies behind, left or right your character.There isnt enough skill put into the game.Decent story but not decent enough to make the characters feel "alive".They are "lifeless".there is no bond between the player and the game character.Its just a she or a he with a different armor and weapon.They arent memorable characters.The story IMO is mediocore.Just an excuse to make a concept for the game.

In prefer playing games like Golden Axe than DW.There is more skill in the 10+ years old GA than DW.

GT3 = GT or GT2 with better graphics... more cars maybe... no radical changes though. Yes, based on outrun, which was the way it was because of limitations on the hardware of the time.

MGS2 = same game, some new abilities, items, but mostly updated graphics.

FF? FFX was just FF VII-IX without the pre-rendering. FF VII-X are FF I-VI in 3D.

Ratchet and Clank? Sonic the Hedgehog 10x bigger (less limitations of hardware), which was supermario but better in the first place.

Don\'t get me wrong, all four of those games have been played and enjoyed by me, but you have to see that every game is based of another game these days... even radical concepts have been done at some point with lesser graphics. I think you don\'t consider what they\'ve done for DW4 \'innovative\' because you don\'t like the game... bigger maps, more enemies, items, players, customizations is exactly the kind of innovation I want in a sequel to a game I already love... Sometimes over changing hurts sequels (after FFVII, I hated the magic system for VIII).

I can answer that by reposting my previous post:)

You do have to worry about enemies striking you from behind, left right and center! The map isn\'t completely flat! There are lots of paths that meander up a hill, or even a fortress gate! Fogging is a problem at times but even the Xbox version gets fogging.

And there is no "bond" between the player and character coz it\'s just a summary of battles that happened eons ago! There\'s no RPG character story....just battles that each character has to go through. There is no RPG elements other than how you win the battle which can determine the next path. You get some hit points added but that\'s about it.

Even from a fan like myslef - this game is mindless fun! It\'s not for everyone. But I like how I can turn the tide of battle on one portion of the map! The allies fight harder whenever I kick ass on the most strategic location whici in some ways is how real battles are like!

You complain about that, with DW - yet you say you rather play GA . .A game which only had you level up magic ...

Don\'t mean to call you out, just find it funny.

(P.S- I love Golden Axe.)

You just point your character to different directions and hit the buttons.

Yeah I know.Thats why I said almost

I just pointed that out to tell how rawly the story and the characters were thrown there just to make a game.Even if there is no story the experience would still be the same.As for the characters whoever u choose is playied almost identically.You just pick the character whose looks and weapon fit to your style.4 or 100 characters to choose from it wouldnt make any difference.

....just battles that each character has to go through. There is no RPG elements other than how you win the battle which can determine the next path. You get some hit points added but that\'s about it.

See?






It sure isnt the game for me.

[GmanJoe]

Right. Do you comment on all games you don\'t like, Uni? There are at least 400 other games you should make a thread about.

There are some characters that play vastly different from others. I don\'t need to explain this one further.

Like the one with the bow(if I remember well)?

He specializes in the bow but you never really use it =/

well...no more than any other character....you just use his melee weapon.

Apparently there are bow characters/character in DW4.

Anyways, the reason people like the DW series I think is because sometimes they just don\'t want a complex mind bending game, sometimes you just wanna kill A LOT of people.

Its senseless mindless fun with interesting story (although obviously not told in the best measure, if you really want a great story of the three chinese kingdoms then read the book)

and like I said its one of the only real decent co-op games out there (sports games are immensly tedious). If DW3/XL/4 didn\'t have co-op I guarantee I wouldn\'t be then fan I am now.

Heh, all this talk about it makes me impatient... I just played DW2 for like 3 hours.. I love this game

simple gameplay + good music + graphics + game rewards = key to a good game.

When I\'m in the mood for something complex... well, that\'s what RPGs are for.

Joker , relax man.There is always people who don\'t like what we love.DW4 already sold a million in 2 weeks , and if you think the graphics are sub par, DW series won the best gaming animation in Japan and it got Platinium ratings from Famitsu.

.

bah, i almost went blind playing DW3 in co-op mode
