99 Nights = Dynasty Warriors 2 w/face lift

[MrAngryFace]

I played the 99N demo today for a little bit, getting a weird Devil May Cry 2 vibe from the game, then switched to Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires. Jesus 99N's mechanics just dont hold up for shit. The charging super attack thing isnt even strategy based.

At least in DW you have to capture points, sustain supply lines, keep officers dispersed through your kingdom, keep the populace happy, form alliances, I mean theres a lot going on in the latest DW games.

DW5E is the best looking DW to date, and before anyone says 'thats not saying much' fuck off. Grow up.

Its a shame 360 fans are so starved for a good japanese game not from capcom that theyll throw this Dynasty Warriors 2 clone on a fucking pedestal.

I remember when this game was first revealed and everyone seemed to be amazed by it. Oh how times have changed.

Visually its a step up from kingdom under fire, and I suppose I am somewhat impressed with enemies on screen, but honestly the more enemies I see the less they seem like enemies. The game almost seems abstract enough at times to be a puzzle game.

That's a funny... with Mizuguchi's involvement with the game and all.   

I agree, I wasn't really impressed with the game at all.  I don't think I will even pick it up when it hits twenty bucks.

I got bored playing the demo today.  I might get it when it's 10 bucks.

If you WANT this type of game done right I fucking highly recommend DW5E, its the best DW game ever made.
