And even i am moderately surprised
i'm not crying though - the game isn't a classic or a masterpiece, but neither is it the total abomination people seem to be making out to be.
It's basically a mindless slasher - i've not seen many of the issues that Bebpo has seen (bebpo might have a borked X360 (?) i've seen him mention a number of issues on a number of X360 games that i've simply not come across :/)
The biggest pain though IS the "oh you died - back to the last major checkpoint"
It's disappointing because this is a miz game, but with that aside it's a more arcade-y Musou game IMO.
It's certainly not a game to blow 7,000 yen on (especially as it's not region free) but from the impressions i'd expect it to be one of the worst games ever - which it simply isn't. *shrug*
And seeing as we have everyones X360 attention here - Pro Baseball Spirits 3 on the X360 is sexy goodness.

Yeah he said N3's problems were so bad he wondered if he had a borked disc.... maybe you guys should exchange notes. For me the most disappointing point of N3 he's mentioned is really how shit the story and the cutscenes are, since I know most people were totally looking forward to it as "DW with a good story". So much for that.

Yeah I never understood why everyone bought into that....I mean Mizu isn't really well known for his story telling abilities. <shrug> I will still pick this up when I get a 360, hopefully for cheaper.
Oh but what really peeves me...
IS THAT E3 GOT PUSHED BACK BECAUSE OF THIS POS!!!!!
sorry...
oh and not that E3...
oh and not that E3...
I agree with DCharlie 100%. The game isn't "crap," but it's really average, and quite frankly, Sangoku/Sengoku Musou walks all over this game (and all the other DW clones).
If you're going to get a new Japanese DW-style BEU, get Sengoku Musou 2 on PS2.
Ikusa Gami SUCKS. SO. HARD. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID

Kind of disappointing :/ ... although the game has always had that "just a slasher" feel. It's a shame there isn't a multiplayer mode -- co-op might have been fairly fun. I'll probably still pick it up though, once the price comes down. It sounds like there is still enough entertainment to make it worth a look.
I expect this game to do fairly well in japan, for a 360 title. The visuals look appealing, great looking characters (Inphyy is amazingly hawt!), cool spell effects, etc.
Thanks for the impressions.

buy dw5: empires
For a disappointed ppl here's some nice Tyurru cosplay to cheer you up, along with Miz bitter-smiling.
Taken today from some N3 event in Akihabara http://www.mainichi-msn.co.jp/entertainment/game/graph/event/20060423/index.html
And buy Basara/Devil Kings, it's more fun than any DW/SW game.

Microsoft is still trying in Japan. I went to Yurakucho Bic Camera to pick up some games and wow they had a massive Xbox 360 event going on outside. Plenty of machines set up with N3 as well as Love Football and some other generic FIFA game.
N3 seemed sorta fun and Love Football was just a demo but was oozing of crappiness. Here are a couple of pictures I took while there:

hate to say it but, told you so.
even with Mizuguchi supposedly moving to Korea to work on the game, you could tell this was nothing more than one of 2 things...
1. MS gives a ton of money to Q Entertainment. Q gives some of the money to Phantagram along with character designs, story, and a game idea. Q uses the rest of the money to fund their own games.
2. MS pays Mizuguchi to put his name on a Phantagram game to get the attention of the hipster hardcore gamers.
regardless of which one you choose to believe, they both result in a bad game. well, at the very least, it was obvious that this game wasn't anywhere near up to the standards of a Mizuguchi game.
on the bright side, Mizuguchi should have more money to fund his real babies.

Are there any impressions other than from this one guy? I'm sure he's a stand up fella, but I generally like to hear a few more opinions before I even contemplate jumping on the hate train.

What did Famitsu give N3?
Famitsu 360 gave it a 37/40, and Famitsu Weekly 31/40DenogginizerOS said:
I've just played through the first 2 levels, and so far it's mostly what I had expected. Mindless but rather fun hacking through enormous crowds. I was surprised that some noral opponents didn't die with just a few sword cuts but required quite a few more time to die. Not a slowdown or tearing so far, but I expect it will come soon enough.
I was also surprised the music in the canyon level had changed from the awesome music of the demo, and did not like it at first. But it grew on me and I really enjoy it now. Hopefully the rest is like that or more symphonic.
Thanks to Bebpo we have this :lolAWESOME:lol video of N3 for everyone!

Notice some awesome key points:
- cheap hits you can't see
- complete shit collision detection, some parts of combos go through enemies entirely
- nonsense crowd control, you take hits from nowhere
- ultra-shit collision detection, big ass weapon goes THROUGH the BIG boss thing twice!
- lack of crowd noises
- quietest battlefield ever

Whoever is playing that is terrible, he's swinging hits at his own army! Plus just because you can take out plenty of enemies at a time doesn't mean you just run headlong into a crowd and let yourself get surrounded. The Dynasty Warriors series punishes you for the same thing, if you play them as a mindless hack & slash you get taken down pretty quickly because you leave yourself wide open to attacks from behind and afar.
As for the crowd noise it was under the orchestral score quite clearly, I guess that would be down to the player to change the levels.

duckroll said:It wasn't a gameplay video, it was to show off how CRAPPY the collision detection and how INFERIOR the game is to DW5E! Remember, N3 SUCKS, BUY DW5E INSTEAD!
By slicing at your own men and running head first into a huge crowd? Dynasty Warriors isn't exactly known for it's amazing collision detection either and 5E looks atrocious, even for a port.
