Pirate Warriors is the best musou series over-all, of the ones I've played (PW, HW, DW and SB). PW2 lacked game modes, but the characters are amazing, the controls are spot-on and the movesets are varied and really fun.
Got high hopes for PW3. It's the second and final game that I'm paying full price for this year.

I need to hurry and finish One Piece Pirate Warriors 1 and 2... I'm really enjoying them!
I just found out about the Gamestop/EBGames exclusive bonus items. I pre-ordered a copy there, despite having a cheaper copy on pre-order from Amazon.ca [which I'm going to cancel].
Sometimes being a fan is hard, I need that steelbook! I just hope it's not too late, the website was still mentioning it...

Preorder Bonus for Gamestop is a metal case
Man, I'm glad I saw this earlier today, I was just gonna pre order on amazon. Generally prefer not shop at Gamestop unless I got to, and today, they got me, with that dope steel case cover.
Uhh.. it says that those DLC items are Gamestop exclusive, but...
it's the same DLC listed on the Best Buy's page.
I'm pre-ordering through Best Buy!
Ahh, but damn, I do want that metal case...
Oh well. I'd rather save the money with GCU.

Can you elaborate a bit?

The steelbook has a nice backside too (this image is from a Swedish retailers website):
As a Swede, I need to chose between the costumes and the steelbook :/ Can't get both. Going for the steelbook.

This game comes out a day after my birthday in the EU. Anyone want to do me a solid and buy me the Doffy edition?
It is kind of hard to explain without spoiling some mechanics and character abilities but I will try. First there are twice as many enemies on screen compared to PW2, don't be surprised to find that you got 1000 kills in the first couple minutes. The movesets for the new characters are some of the best in the series and you can definetly see the effort and interesting experiments they have put into these characters. Rob Lucci for example has a unique attack that allows him to change forms whenever you wish, this basically gives him 2 extra combo strings compared to other characters as his SSSSS and TTT combo strings differ between his human and leopard forms. It also allows him cancel any move he is performing which allows you to perform extended combos.
The level design in this game is far superior to what you find in PW2 as the areas are now large detailed maps with many details from the anime. I will say for me personally that Dressrosa is the best designed level in the game.
Finally the gmae modes are similar two the last game where you have Story Mode, Free Mode and online.However, this game has Dream log which is similar to adventure mode from HW where you can go to different islands and fight other characters to unlock them as well as unlock additional costumes. When you finish Dream log you will unlock Nightmare Log which is harder version of drema log and when I mean hard it is hard. For instnace it is a lot harder than Super Hard in Story and Free modes. All enemies attack ruthlesly including grunts, so be prepared to knocked out of your attacks because of grunts attacking you.
That is pretty much it without spoiling too much.

Shame this wasn't out now or a few weeks ago. With Until Dawn and then MGS a week later, I know I'm not going to be able to dedicate the time with all of them, where as the summer has been so dry for releases, this would have filled it nicely.
Okay, i was planning, on not buying it, but this sounds like a shitton of Content.
I will pre-order today

If you love One Piece you will find lots to love here. I wasn't keen on Musou games and having One Piece attached just makes it great and enjoyable. But the game itself is good regardless, not just because of One Piece's attachment, but it certainly makes it for me.

Biggest issue with the release date imo is not that it's close to other releases, but that it comes out right when everyone is back to work and/or school.

Nobody's claimed an OT yet have they? Might claim it myself, been wanting to make one for a while.

Don't think so, no. I was thinking of claiming it a long, long time ago, but the OT for PW2 only got three pages of posts, so making an OT for PW3 just felt like too much effort for me ;b

Well I won't be doing it this time, barely have time to play it never mind make an OT haha!

Yeah, this one'll be buried by the MGS one in a matter of days, but I'd might as well. It'll be fun to work on.

How's the Japanese version run in split screen? Gf and I are on a huge One Piece kick and it would be great to play this together!
The game runs split screen horizontally and performance seemed fine you will get a few dips but otherwise it is quite smooth. Another thing to note is that when performing special moves or using kizuna rush there will be no camera cuts and angles, you also share the kizuna meter which means you need to tell the other person your using it so they can too.

Thanks for the reply man. I guess I'll decide between ps4 or PC based on the port. Just got a new laptop and have a decent gaming PC so that could be ideal... If the port is up to par!

Has there been any new word about online mode for PC yet? There was a post on the steam discussion from NamcoBandai saying no online for PC about a month ago.
Damn, wouldn't mind a steelbook... but it isn't worth $12, which is how much I'd save with GCU at Best Buy. I hadn't planned on preordering the game anyways, instead getting it later because I have the first two backlogged AND I need to get caught up in the series.
OP was my #1 passion in life until I started working in 2009, I started seriously dropping off from that point, catching up in chunks since. I just started Punk Hazard.

Better believe it! Been anticipating the game for such a long time, unfortunately perhaps so much so that a little bit off the hype as worn off already, but nonetheless I'm really excited to play it. I LOVE the PW series.
My avatar should be proof enough though ;b Nobody can beat that!

Game isn't out for a whole week yet in Europe. Is it releasing earlier in the US?

Gah, I already preordered at bestbuy using coupons..sorta wanted that metal case. :\

If it's like the last one and every other online musou/warriors game, you won't be able to play a stage together until you beat it yourself. (Freeplay). So in a sense, sort of? You'll have to set up a new game each and every time though...sorta sucks.
Though I do hope I'm wrong and it bucks the trend.

This is actually my first foray into the games, I only got into One Piece last year and by the time I was all caught up, this game was announced. Probably should have went through PW2 first, but I need that playable Doffy.
This is release same day as gears. I'm sorry koala
She's not even in this game.
I have no idea why but yeah its a big release for me, lol! Can't wait to mash some buttons!

Yeah I feel like this is a big release for me as well. I got me off my one piece manga backlog, so now I'm 100% ready to take it on, haha.
But sabo is on the cover, I know oda is underplaying her massively but they wouldn't do it in the game too right ;-;
You'll be fine-- Pirate Warriors 2 has an original story but PW3 follows the OP story from the beginning until the current arc. I'd get PW2 if you want more after finishing this game.
