Do they do dual-audio on the US releases of these games?

If so, might pick it up.  Gundam Musou 3 was great.

I'm pretty hyped for this.  DW7 is supposed to be the first one since DW3 that really improved on things.  The action is supposed to be more fluid and cinematic, too.

Looking forward to seeing if any of this is true, or if it's more musou-hype-bullshit.

Played a bit last night. Went through a few Wei story stagez. You guys should have got this at best buy, they had it ready to buy monday morning!

Frame rate is really spastic.  :gloomy   It jumps from 30 to 60 back and forth and it's really annoying. DW6 looked like crap but at least it had that consistent musou 60fps. This is PS3 version btw.

Combat feels a lot more like DW5 then 6. It's not just the return to old style charge attacks. Hitting guys and shit, it just overall feels more like the PS2 titles.

Dub is pretty bad. It's not recent musou dubbing bad (which I love, I love the corny overacting and voice stereotypes) more like flat DW3 dub bad.

Cutscenes look great! The more cinematic feel of story mode is neat, but I think they streamlined too much. You don't get the pre-battle map screen anymore, and there's no map during the pause menu. Also, characters feel even more clone-y then DW6 since it's weapons that determine the moveset (aside from musou attacks and character-unique EX attacks) even though there is supposedly 36 or so weapon movesets.

Going to play more tonight, that's just from a couple hours play.

I would if a) I wasn't getting for $40 from Amazon and b) the Best Buy near me didn't suck shit and actually got new games in/games on time.  That store is awful.  They NEVER have anything, even if their site says it's in stock.

I don't mind this, since it just means I can pick the characters I like and give them the movesets I want.

There's no install feature that I could find. From what I understand the game installs as you play, which is kinda weird. So maybe it will get better?

You can weapon switch mid-string which is nice. I'm not sure what else difference it makes other than having 2 movesets as I didn't experiment much.

Most of that is just 2 hour impressions; i've barely played the game. I'm not really as negative towards it as I sound, those were just the things that jumped out to me.

I still have you on psn right lyte?

Initial impressions:

+ Looks great.  Character models are better than any other DW game.
- Fading in enemies are STILL there.
+ Framerate is 60fps
- Except that it drops a LOT.
+ The action feels smoother and faster.
+ Switching weapons works great and allows for longer combos
+ Story presentation is better than before.
+ Prefight town/fort area is available to buy stuff/talk to NPCs
- Story mode now makes you use specific characters on stages.  (You can use anyone in Conquest Mode)
+ Conquest Mode stages seem to have randomly-generated, or at least multiple events/generals when you replay them.  I played the same stage and had different events and different enemy generals each time.

I don't think this is the "HOLY SHIT REVOLUTIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!!" musou some hyped it up to be, but DW7 is still a really, really fun game.   Just please get the Japanese voices up as DLC.  PLEASE.

The lag seemed okay. I think the game's netcode is really bad though. If you ever see your co-op partner slashing a lot at empty air, it's lag, heh.

Don't forget to upgrade your character and weapons! That stuff is tucked away in the pause menu, I'm so used to it being an after-battle affair. Also, always focus on enemy generals (red dots) more than anything and pick up the loot they drop. If you juggle a dead general a lot after killing them they drop better stuff.

I'm sure they will.  Koei has offered up plenty of free DLC in the past.  DW6 Empires had a bunch of free CAW outfits, and Strike Force got a bunch of free mission packs.

I think the Japanese DW7 already has free weapon packs up, too.

It's basically a "menu" for managing your troops and expanding your territory by invading others plus musou action.

And there is no story mode like the regular DW game.
Title: Re: the official dynasty warriors 7 thread of shut the fuck up

The IGN Samurai Warriors 3 review from last year was proof enough that these guys don't even bother trying to even play the games and just shit out some text.

I'm still waiting for one of these guys to admit that they play on the easiest difficulty too.

Can you change difficulties between missions?  I liked that in GM3 you pick easy/normal/hard for every mission when you start it and the only difference is slightly higher drop rates the higher the difficulty.  I'd switch back and forth between all 3 depending on the difficulty level of the mission and how upgraded my mech was that I was taking in.  Was really nice.

Maybe if you back out of story mode and start again it'll let you keep your progress and change the difficulty. I've only played some of Wei on normal so far. Got to the point where I get uber fatty (Zu Xhu or something like that) and died real fast to Lu Bu appearing in te main camp and nearly one shotting me with his musou attack. Pretty impressed with the presenttion this game has going for it with the seamless transitions between camp and the battles 'n' such.

beat wei in musuo mode.

fuck awesome.

opened up conquest mode, picked Xiaou Dun and he had all of his shit from when I beat the game on Wei story mode, and I'm massacring fools left and right. It almost doesn't seem fair but this is the beginning of conquest mode (as in, the first mission). It pretty much feels like the game is just getting started.

Isn't Cao Cao an evil despot?

Cao Cao was ambitious and took advantage of the political situation to grab territory, but (according to the book) he was a pretty fair guy who valued loyalty and treated his men well. He just didn't have a legitimate claim to the throne (i.e. bloodline).

Oh, and he was a genius and a badass. :rock :rock

His son Cao Pi was a lot more of a typical insane despot.

Got the game last night. The seamless camp/battle transition is really cool. It does a lot better job of keeping you in the game and making you feel more connected to what's going on than all the menus in previous games. I'm not too pleased with the framerate so far, but I'm liking the game.

I finished the Wei campaign.

DW7 has a lot of changes compared to DW5 Special (I skipped DW6) although I wish the levels were brighter and tighter like the Samurai Warriors games.

Anyway, the game is classic Musou.  IGN got it wrong as usual; I doubt these dipshits even bothered to play the game other than to noodle around in Beginner difficulty to get some vidcaps and screencaps.  Them whining about hitting X constantly is a sign that they are fucking mongoloids.  If they gave the next shitty Mario game a 5.8 and saying, "Ah man, all I do is press A n' shit man...", Nintards would be calling for their heads and rightfully so.

Buy this game, distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

What's so great about sw3? Is it on ps3? Dunno if I should check out Sengoku Basara, wait till DW: Gundam 3, or check out Samurai Warriors 3 after this game for my DW fix.

Beat Shu campaign. ZZZ yawn, Shu sucks. I mean, it was good until
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Liu Bei died
[close]
but after that it wasn't nearly as fun and felt like it was was running on auto.

Started Wu, did first one minute long mission. Got perfect and beat-this-mission-in-one-minute trophies.

Surprisingly racked up the 40 hit combo trophy, getting over 110 hits, too.

Haven't done conquest beyond some co-op, really 4 hexes or so to be honest and I'm not going to touch it until I finish all storylines and get all story trophies.

Do you read these threads or just reply, Himu?  SW3 is on PS3...import-only.  Check out "Sengoku Musou 3Z."

Sengoku Basara is a different type of musou, in that it's a lot more over-the-top "wacky" in its character and enemy design, and is more along the lines of being a straight-out beat-em-up than a slghtly strategy-oriented title like the Koei games are.

I haven't played DW Gundam 3 yet (I don't really care for Gundam), but another anime-based musou is Hokuto Musou, AKA Fist Of The North Star Ken's Rage, is pretty damn fun IMO.  It offers up two main modes of play.  The story mode has five playable characters and follows their manga/anime storylines pretty closely, but is more linear/beat-em-up like. But there's an additional more-traditional style mode where you can play as anyone and pit your army against others for control of the map.  The game has less characters than other games, but that's because each plays pretty differently from each other and there are MASSIVE skill trees with a ton of abilities to unlock/upgrade.  Remaining true to its source material, it's also the only musou with blood n' gore.

I would also highly recommend the Warriors Orochi games if you haven't played them.  You get the entire casts of Dynasty Warriors (through 5) and Samurai Warriors (through 2) in one game, and get to use a team of three characters that you can switch between at any time.  There is a Japanese-only compilation on PS3 called "Musou Orochi Z."  If you don't want to import that, the PSP version of WO2 has its extra features/characters.

SW3 is just a great musou game. Lots o characters with cool movesets, great stage design, lots to do etc. But the wii version is locked at 30 with wii bluriness  :'(

That's where 3Z comes in, with 60 FPS HD goodness.   :)

Also, from Koei Warriors- NO 3Z (PS3) or 3XL (Wii) for North America and Europe.  Import away!

Quote
Samurai Warriors 3 Z (PlayStation 3) and Samurai Warriors 3 Xtreme Legends (Nintendo Wii) will not be coming out in North America or Europe any time soon. The overseas release has been canceled indefinitely for both versions, despite strong first week sales for the PS3 version when it came out early February in Japan. Samurai Warriors 3 was originally released for the Nintendo Wii last year, but it barely managed to sell any copies overseas.

People who are still interested in playing the high definition PS3 version of SW3 can import the game. In order to play the imported Xtreme Legends version, you need a Japanese Nintendo Wii since the game is region locked. Samurai Warriors 3 may very well be the last SW game to come out of Japan. The future of KOEI’s games is definitely not looking too good for fans overseas considering the previous game cancellations (Warriors Orochi Z and Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce 2 were never released outside of Japan).

I think that last part is kinda funny considering that Samurai Warriors Chronicles and Dynasty Warriors 7 just came out.   :lol

Lyte, someone linked me that yesterday under APRIL FOOLS jokes; so that quote is probably not legit.  Though I'd guess they weren't coming simply because it's been a while and they haven't been announced while other musou games have.

Musou Orochi Z didn't come out, either.

There are several reasons I can think of:

-There's some licensing issue with the game.  In North America and Europe, Nintendo released Samurai Warriors 3, and they also worked on the (shitty) network features it had.
-Sony's policy on port-ups.  I believe this is why Orochi Z didn't get released...Koei doesn't want to release these games as budget titles.
-Going back to Nintendo, they have some sort of deal for Samurai Warriors, and with Chronicles out on 3DS, they don't want to release other versions.

I played Ken's Rage demo and was going to buy it upon price drop, actually. Shame about 3Z being import only.

If I was going to buy Ken's Rage now, I'd pick up the Hokuto Musou International Version, also J-only.  It has all of the DLC available on the disc.  (Two more characters, more levels, and the outfits)

The SW3 expansion for Wii could happen, but maybe not since SW3 sold like shit in NA. All of the targets have the game on clearance for like 12 bucks.

Also, what the fuck is wrong with this game. I'm playing on a wu stage, I have to kill Xu zhu but he either dissapeared or spawned inside the floor so i can't kill him and now i have to restart.

What the fuck koei. :punch

Post by: Bebpo on April 02, 2011, 01:34:36 PM
After playing some more of Musou 3DS when the stages get more difficult, I actually think the 4 character thing is handled kind of badly.  The problem is that when you're not playing as the characters, they are sucky sucky AI who get beat down.  So like I switch from my main guy to someone across the field and play as them for a few mins doing some mission, then next time a mission shows up with my original guy I change back to him and don't notice this his health which used to be full is now at 1 combo until he is dead and I get combo'd once and the mission fails.  I think if you're going to do multi-character I'd prefer the other characters to just not really exist when you're not using them so they don't take damage.

Also I think the other problem with Musou 3DS is it's hard to tell what's going on in the map.  Like instead of there being a main objective, it's more about constantly doing missions, but the missions are just all over the place both literally and in objectives.  I got one mission where I was supposed to stop 6 guys from entering an area from 3 directions, except only 2 guys were in the area and the other 2 were across the map.  But even if I had three guys, during the time I'm stopping enemies with one guy, the others are getting past my sucky AI guy in another.  It's kind of too chaotic.

I think there's definitely some good ideas in musou 3ds, but it feels pretty janky design for a musou.  Like they didn't think the ideas through fully.

I'm really surprised to hear that DW7 has no mini-missions during stages.  I thought it was a standard feature in musou games these days.  GM3 does it really well, there's only one or two the entire stage and they're just in the corner with the mini-map and totally optional.

Btw, how long are the stages in DW7?  After having all the stages in GM3 being 5-10 mins, doing 20-30 min stages in musou 3ds feels like a drag.

Depends on the mission. Some missions are straight kill em all missions. Some are more elaborate missions that take 20-30 minutes.

Tried DW7 in 3D mode at a buddy's house.  It was AWFUL.   :lol  The 3D effect has to be the worst I've ever seen...the text boxes pop out and cover everything, and it just hurt my eyes.  But 3D mode and 2P split screen both make the game run at a nice, solid 30FPS.  Koei should seriously patch the PS3 version to run at 30FPS in single player.

I loved each and every Wu stage. I beat Wu early this morning and started Jin. My favorite Wu stage is the stage right AFTER Sun Ce takes on Yu Ji. It's this huge battle with multiple conflicts, having to go and save your commanders and backtracking. Really tense.

In fact, a lot of Wu stages have tons of base taking and defending. :rock

Finished Wu, now time for Shu.

I liked the Wu characters a lot better ( :bow Gan Ning :bow2 ) than the Wei.  I'm excited to get to the Jin portion.

The game is still fun and hasn't really stopped being fun for a while.  It is probably my most favorite DW game.  Although not by far, I had a lot of fun with DW5 Special on the 360 when it came out.

Beat Jin story, finishing up all story campaigns.
 
Surprised I got the Good Listener trophy because I skipped everyone in the Wei campaign and didn't hear about the good listener trophy until near the end of my wei campaign. After that I talked to everyone (berudgingly) but that doesn't take away from the fact I skipped talking to the bulk of Wei npcs and still got the trophy.
 
I was planning on playing through Wei again, just to get that trophy so this is good.
 
Started Conquest mode, this time for real, my main is going to be Huang Gai for now. I put it on hard mode and it's so much more fun in comparison to normal. Without my buffed up character(s) that have been carried over from story mode I'm sure hard would be annoying, but since my Huang Gai and others are maxed out, hard mode is fun as fuck as it presents a new challenge. I tried chaos and got wrecked in like 4 hits. Wow, you actually need to block in that mode! Haha!

Decided to go with my favorite Three Kingdoms character, Zhou Yu, in Conquest. Zhou Yu's staff + shield and sword combo = great for ridding yourself of these pesky archers.

Playing on hard.

Finished Jin.  I agree with what someone said earlier: it is the most interesting campaign out of the four.  I even paid attention to the story, which I never really did for the other three.  I also received the good listener achievement despite not really talking to anyone except the guards or officers to start a fight.  O well.

Now I'm working on Conquest mode.  I'll probably start with Zhu Rong so I can start getting some of the characters I wasn't able to play as in the official mode.

I'm playing Conquest mode with Zhu Rong.  When I first started, it gave me a strong DW Strikeforce vibe, which is a bad thing.  However in spite of that, it is pretty fun although I will probably clear a few hexes here and there casually.

They should make a rival schools-ish musou game.  Schoolhouse Musou or something.  You have the baseball guy with a bat, football player who runs over dudes and throws fire hail marys, the gym teacher, the band guy who blows out people's ears, the computer tech guy who rides a giant robot he built.  Just make it super goofy with a varied cast and move set.

Is Fist of the North Star musou worth it?

The demo was really really shitty for a musou game, but I heard the full game is better.  It's $30 at Amazon now and musou games almost never price drop/collapse, so I'm wondering if I should grab it at this price.

Bebpo, I really enjoyed Hokuto Musou. You can go back and find a shit-ton of impressions from me here and on gaf.  The demo wasn't the best representation of the game...it offers both a straight foward adventure mode (for Ken, Rei, Mamiya, Toki, and Raoh), which is more linear like a traditional beat em up complete with boss battles, and a more traditional Musou mode where all the unlockable characters are playable.  It's worth checking out if you like Fist Of The North Star and musou games.  Just make sure to get it on PS3.

Bought DW7 for 360.

Impressions:

Looks the same and plays the same as ps3 version.

Still awesome.

DLC impressions:

- jp voices are great. a lot of voices that were annoying in English (xu zhu) aren't anymore.
- dlc weapons rock. I really like that scythe/axe thing and the bombs are fucking AWESOME.

Are dlc costumes and stages only viewable in conquest? I bought everything.

Pretty sure you can only play dress up in conquest mode, yeah(and the DLC stages are for conquest so they're obviously only seen there). Dunno about taking the weapons into story mode since I haven't tried that since getting them but I'd imagine you can use 'em.

Post by: Himu on May 21, 2011, 10:37:48 PM
I got Warriors Orochi 2 for 360 and...it's okay so far. The biggest difference between it and DW7 for me is the speed. DW7 feels ten times faster in comparison, even with the more slow characters like Xu Zhu.

I dunno. The premise is cool but I think it took about an hour to beat the first map of the Wei campaign alone. (actually apparently it was 23 minutes)

edit:

One thing about Orochi 2 is that it's more technical than DW7. The counterattacks for example. I'll often not be able to land a single hit on an enemy officer, and have to wait till they attack, counter attack, combo and bring in big damage in order to win. It's both more strategic and more tedious in comparison to DW7. I'm not sure if it's better but it's certainly different.

Keep in mind DW7 was the first time I gave a Musuo game a real shake. I don't consider playing the occasional demo or a few maps at my friends place playing a Musuo game, but I really got into DW7. It's hard not comparing it to DW7 because while they're very similar, they're also very different.

Jesus Chris I did this Lu Bu map on Wei campaign and it took me 34 minutes to complete. It wouldn't be so bad if fighting even regular officers didn't feel like it takes 10 minutes. They just won't fucking die and last time I checked this was normal mode.
Title: Re: the official dynasty warriors 7 thread of shut the fuck up
Post by: MoxManiac on May 22, 2011, 12:23:19 PM
Once you figure out Orochi's weapon system and start attaching elements/skills to them (and leveling up the skills in the skill equip system) you can kill officers realllly fast.

I finished Conquest Mode and I think I'm done with DW7 in general.

My stats (approximate):
Fame points: 340,000
KOs: 210,000

Overall, I really liked this game.  I took it slow with the conquest mode, clearing a few hexes every couple of days.

The Pros:

+ It is the most content-rich Dynasty Warriors game out there
+ The challenges were interesting.  In previous games, you could do either entirely what you wanted or you had to guess as to which event to attend where.  DW7 finds a strong middle ground here
+ I liked the story mode and how it is set up.  I like the idea of starting off in the camps and I think the story mode allows you to be more accountable to other officers compared to previous entries
+ Probably the grittiest of the DW games.
+ Can rack up the most amount of KOs.  In the final conquest mode hex (or highest difficulty), you can clear 3500+ easy

The Cons:

- Not every major or significant officer has their own weapon.  Other games were able to achieve this in the past
- Not a lot of stage variety.  Older levels felt more epic in size and scope.  DW7 is comparatively small with relatively boring stages compared to previous entries

Overall, I think it was a great game but I still feel that Dynasty Warriors 5 is the best in the series still.  It's still great and certainly isn't going to win any new people over.  I still laugh at how many reviewers completely missed the point or got things wrong with this game.  I had a lot of fun with this game and recommend it to others.  I will definitely get the inevitable DW7 Empires and DW8.

I'm willing to sell this game for $20 shipped if anyone is interested.  Please PM me if you want to get my copy.

These games are ALWAYS ps3 only in Japan.

Also, quoted from SA:

Quote from: Policenaut
Guo Jia's back, and he's mother fucking fabulous

(http://i.imgur.com/7Mbet.jpg)

Guo Jia is the new character being added for Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends. He literally uses a giant pool cue and floating energy balls which he can shoot with the cue. It's called "Pole Shot"

(http://i.imgur.com/hpyoC.jpg)

What else can be found in DW7: Xtreme Legends?
  • Legend Mode: where (as far as Google Translate goes) is some kind of story mode
  • Challenge Mode: K.O count challenge, combo count challenge, some other unexplained rules/things and online leaderboards
  • New Weapons: Guo Jia's Pole Shot and the Giant Sword
(http://i.imgur.com/h5U2X.jpg)
  • Play the original DW7 mode that everyone wanted Co-Op in but it didn't come with it in DW7.
