Has the main series evolved in gameplay a bit? I have only played a Samurai Warriors on 3DS long ago, and the rest of my experience are licenced spin-offs.
Especially Age of Calamity which was by far the best I've played. Every character feels different, there are lots of options and specific counters depending on the enemy, environment, etc.
Origins was a great new step into the franchise. Battles flowed great, the weapon system was well done, a few boss fights were welcome changes of pace. Only downfalls were it had way too many cut scenes to develop a story line and the characters you know and love were out of reach, as you had to be the nameless main character (unless you had a companion).
Yeah. I go back and forth but I think Origins is exactly what the series needed... I just don't know if I like it.
The big difference is that you aren't really picking a side (until near the end). This works really well for the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the aftermath but gets increasingly awkward as the civil war grows and you are still friends with everyone. And it also means you can't really do the different perspectives on the same battle as you might be rolling with Cao Cao on one run and Meng Huo on the next.
By having the viewpoint character they were able to actually tell a story. Otherwise it is the same dipping in and out of the Romance as every other DW because... the vast majority of what is interesting has nothing to do with the battlefield. By focusing on Ancient Chinese Forrest Gump it gives people a reference point other than "And then Zhuge Liang was rescued. Some time later he led an army against this castle to get revenge on his rescuers".
I personally think Wo Long did a better job of "what if Romance Of The Three Kingdoms but also magic and demons and shit" but is also borderline incomprehensible unless you are at least aware of the major beats. Which... is better than "what if The Bakumatsu but we glaze the dude who set Imperial Japan on its path to horrific war crimes. Also Bisexual Icon Sakamoto Ryoma" but... yeah.
Still. All for more DW:O DLC.
I thought about getting Origins but the fact that it didn't have Co-op just killed me. If I can't play Dynasty Warriors with a friend next to me then I don't want to play it. That's the point of the game to me.
They tried to make DW 9 open world and it didn't go super great.
Oh ya. I remember Stephanie Sterling trying that one and it looked like empty, boring shit. IIRC it also had some previously unique characters being assigned a generic weapon. It's the kind of stuff I already thought was lame on a smaller scale in both Fire Emblem Warriors, where most characters share like 6 movesets or so.
Yeah, they watered down the weapon options. Terrible game. I think 8 was the last decent one.
is this that game where you fight countless enemies?
i had it on a psx demo disk and loved it, but forgot the name.
all I remember is that you can also ride animals like horses and elephants.
