Dynasty Warriors HOOOOOO!!!

[VanityGirl]

Ok, so the title's stupid.

But how many escapist have played any games in the Dynasty Warrior franchise (Gundam and Three Kingdoms included)?

For me, I love a good ole hack and slash to relieve stress. I sort of uber nerded Dynasty Warriors 6 on xbox and have most achievements on the game. The games are always fun to play with others and hopefully DW7's online coop will make a fun expierence for my friends and for myself.
I'm also excited that Dynasty Warriors 7 will add a new kingdom to the roster. From what I've read, the game is a vast improvement from the other titles.

What do you guys think of Dynasty Warriors?

Finally!! A straight-up Dynasty Warriors thread!! Thankyou!!!

Hell, I loved the games! First one I got was DW3 for my old Playstation 2! Always played with a friend during the day and stayed up late to solo during the night! Good times! I remember all moments I would flee from of LuBu by running around in circles for 10 mintues until the rest of my army showed up to distract him and how I always got frustrated on those bastard Elephants in Nanman! I can still remember every single cut-scene from that game, from Taishi Ci's assassination to Guan Yu's last stand! ect ect
I would always play Zhou Yu! But quickly fell in love with Zhou Tai in DW4!!
DW Empires was a nice change and latest games are getting too much for an old veteren like me. But I still try occasionally.

Man, I haven't posted in a while But yeah I'm a DW convert since the PS2 ones.
Hours of hacko-slasho fun

Shouldn't you say Dynasty Warriors is part of the Three Kingdoms franchise since 3 Kingdoms has been around a lot longer?

OT: Yeah I've played most every Warriors game (huge fan!) and a couple of 3 Kingdoms games, though I'm not really a fan of them.

Favorite KOEI game so far has been Warriors Orochi for 360.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

Woo a KOEI thread! I'm actually currently playing "Warriors Orochi" as we speak. Wu warriors represent!

I own and love dynasty warriors 2-5, owned and played dynasty warriors 6 and have played a lot of the extreme legends/empires.

I prefer Samurai Warriors gameplay wise though because it has many improvements they have yet to transfer over into Dynasty Warriors. The story style is different too as there isn't really any unifying cause akin to Wu, Wei, Shu but individual warlords and clans.

Warriors Orochi is like the lovechild of both series. Orochi steals the three kingdoms and Edo period Japan from history and attempts to enslave them.

Of course the games are heavily biased in favour of Shu since they are based on 3 kingdoms which is itself a piece of Shu propaganda.

Haha! I love these games man, i've got DW7 on preorder.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

Also, thanks for the random reminder. I've been lost in my own bubble, so I never even realised that there was a new DW game out so soon.

 

[instantbenz]

Hells yeah D-dub7!

I got hooked playing the demo of DW2 and then I got DW3 and I've gotten every one after that (sadly including strikeforce (ps3 had NO multiplayer support)).

My best friend finally got me the original 2d fighter for xmas.

I guess I enjoy them for nostalgia as it represents as simpler time for me.

Me and my friend used to play Dynasty Warriors 2 all the fucking time, all day long. We didn't really understand much, we just fucked up everything, and died to Lu Bu. I still have memories of playing it in my mates brothers room, whilst his brother played that "face down ass up" song and read porn magazines, I was only like 8.

I doubt I'll get the new one, unless I see it on sale.

 

[King of Wei]

I love the all the DW games, Gundom, Orochi and Three Kingdoms included. 4 was my all time favorite so far. I'm hoping 7 follows the whole kingdoms like 4 and stops with this scenario and 5 mission character story crap.

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

ONly thing that ticked me off about Dynasty Warriors with when Xiahou Dun started using the huge mace instead of his signature curved sword. He used to be my favorite character.

Can't wait for the Jin kingdom to come up, Though arent' some of the characters going to be the same as another kingdom? I can't remember

 

[Tigurus]

I only played Dynasty Warriors 4 and 6.
Can't wait for 7 though I truly found 6 very "meh".
Luckely that I wasted most of my hours with DW4 and Kessen 2 even :O

My first taste as a DW3 demo fighting Meng Huo and the Nanman. I loved it but couldn't afford the full version, so I settled for the cheaper Extreme Legends disc. DW3 still has my favourite music and character designs of the series, but I think the series should've ended after 5.

 

[Kirkby]

I always got frustrated on those bastard Elephants in Nanman!

OMG those elephants! Those goddamn elephants used to drive me nuts! They were still no match for the power of SUN CE though! Good ol' tonfa to the face sorted most folk out = P

Anyone excited for the new faction there brining in? Ju i think its called or somat :S

 

[Aura Guardian]

I might get DW7. I've been replaying Samurai Warriors 3 for such an occasion. But truth be told, I prefer Samurai Warriors over Dynasty Warriors.

 

[thatman]

Played quite a few DW games casually, then got absolutely obsessed with samurai warriors 2 empires. Ended up playing about 5-6 hours a day for weeks, i freakin' loved that game. Then i played dynasty warriors: gundam and despised it. Easily one of the worst, most putrid and pathetic excuses for a game i've ever brought myself to play in my life.
So yeah, it's kind of a love/hate thing.
