ugh, played as the brawler dude and thought it was boring and the camera was omg so bad.  Fighting bosses was ridiculous with it.  Is there no lock-on?  I thought they added that in the PSP versus game.
I can see it being way more fun when you have more special moves (not just 3 like the demo) and have upgraded your moves so they are more fun to use.  But playing as a starting gimped slow guy, it was pretty sucky.

Musou games are all the same.  And with Hokuto US, Basara 3 US, and Gundam Musou 3 coming out in the next few months that's way too much repetitive punching guys over and over across 20-30 min maps.  Don't think I can play more than one of these types a year and that'll be GM3.

Oh really?  Cool, I wanna check out the dub.

There's no lock on but you don't need it.  And yeah, you do start out gimped and will gain a nice little chunk of stuff after the first level is cleared.  I need to check out the demo and see what it offers...who is "gimped slow guy?"  If you mean the new dude with the ball n' chain, you're crazy...he is awesome.

Hokuto has a different feel to it and Basara is waaaaaaaaay more arcadey compared to Koei games. 

But yes, I tend to avoid all these games too.  You gotta pick one or two and stick with them, and make sure to play them on HARD (or more difficult).  I don't really get the point of playing most of these games on easy or normal.  They are way, way too easy that way.

Then again, you probably missed something about the game play like always Bebpo.    ;) :lol

The dude did not have a ball and chain.  I think it's the main guy?  Brawler dude?  All you could do in the demo was:

[] rush punch
triangle fist blow (hold triangle to charge for stronger blow)
direction + triangle uppercut that you can link into a [] followup (hold triangle to dash before uppercutting)
R1 ground smash (hold triangle for larger ground smash)

Jump + [] 3 hit air combo
Jump + triangle elbow ground smash (charge for stronger smash?)

L2 for HERO TIME when gauge is full (just makes everyone else slow motion?)
O for basara attack when gauge is full

L1 to block
direction+L1 to dodge (nice animation)

It was fun for a bit, but I got bored.  Need more things to do and the camera was just bugging the hell out of me.

Remember you can use the block button or click the stick to center the camera behind you.

That's Tokugawa that you played as.  I actually haven't gotten around to using him yet.  I'm working on Fuuma Kotaro's game right now.  Some characters are definitely more fun to play as than others, that's for sure.  Magoichi is still my favorite with multiple types of guns she can use.  I loved Date Masamune in SB2 but wasn't too thrilled with him in this game for some reason.

Yeah, I'll try it with the one other guy (grey haired purple clothes new sword guy) and see if he's more fun.

The dub is pretty terrible btw.

OK, yeah, the demo difficulty is way too easy and Tokugawa feels like he'd be a lot better once he gets more moves.  So I don't blame you, Bebpo.

The dub is okay, I guess.  But Tokugawa's voice actor couldn't say "Yukimura" properly.  He said it like "Yukimorao."   :lol  I'm glad I got it in Japanese.

The dub is all over the place.  Tokugawa (I think) sounded like a regular grunt dude, the second playable character (who was more fun to play as) voice and look didn't match up, but Yukimura sounded good.

I loved the demo. I had a lot of fun playing it, so so getting it. I like how fast paced it is, at least playing as Mitsunari made it seem fast paced. The guy who voicing Ieyasu also voices Tenma in the english dub of Monster. Automatically good. Too bad you couldn't play as Yukimura, I wanted to hear some Johnny Yong Bosch.

Tried the other guy with the grey hair.  He's better.  Was kind of fun.  Might pick it up when it gets cheap, but lack of dual-voice is a real turn off.  In feudal Japan games with non-stop shouting taunts English is kinda  :-\

Yukimura's running animation looks really weird.

I might buy this with the K-mart credit I get from Vanquish since there's nothing else I want after that comes out. Either this or 3D Dot Game Heroes, not sure yet.

The demo was too easy.  Play the game on hard; it's much better that way.

that wasn't the problem; rather, the problem was the camera and the annoying mission objectives including timed shit

The time is never a problem since those objectives are optional.  Also if you used Tokugawa (the boxer dude), he kinda sucks, at least at first...I still haven't used him in the game yet so maybe he gets better.

Camera could definitely be better though.  You just gotta get used to using L1 or clicking the right stick to snap it behind you.
