They are play at 30 fps mayne. Constant slowdown. Missing key features and costumes have built in cheats in them. They are bad ports and do the games a disservice.
In terms of Koei Tecmo, used to love Dynasty warriors and samurai warriors back when they were in their 3rd and 1st iteration respectively but I can only take so many yellow turban rebellions and pop in soldiers that do nothing but stand around until you square square triangle them. At least up the graphical and technical power if you're going to do nothing mechanically interesting in the game, however I acknowledge people like them nowadays due to the brainless and shonen aspects of them.
This is also company that greenlit ninja gaiden 3. A game so focus tested and gutted to only have one weapon not to overwhelm the player, filled with QTE events cos god of war was doing it and nonsensical silly emphasis on story about atoning for ryu's past sins or something. I'm still so salty about it that I was sceptical about Nioh even after enjoying the alpha, beta and LCT. However i still have this eerie feeling in the back of my head that they're gonna fuck up the sequel. I guess I just have PTSD after NG3.
Nioh is amazing though and ninja gaiden 1 and 2.
Koei Tecmo PC ports though:
Well you have to be pretty hardcore to play every iteration of the Warriors games. It's more a series I see myself jumping in and out of and enjoying as necessary.
All the KT interviews that I've read about NG3, is that they really fucked up and they wanted to go back and make what they were good at. And I think Nioh does a good job of that.
I love Winning Post.
K-T should localise them ;_;
I was half-tempted to get the one on Steam, but idk on region locking.
I wanted Winning Post so much back in the PS2 days... I don't know how KT keep making games from random genres I want to buy. Its bizarre.
They are one of the better Japanese publishers, I think. I buy all the GUST games, some of the musou spinoffs and Nioh was great as well. It's nice that they tend to get localizations out in 6 months or less from the Japanese releases lately too.
Nioh worldwide release is probably one of the most impressive things this generation.
Is your avatar from Toukiden 2? I do want to get that eventually as well.
It's Okatsu from Nioh.
I don't know much about Koei Tecmo as a publisher, but I know a thing or two about their two main developers Team ninja and Omega Force.
They're pretty cool I guess? Nioh is a drug, Toukiden is my PS-Monster Hunter, and DOA have the hottest girls in fighting games.
Edit:
Actually now that I think about it "they have the hottest girls in *insert genre*" might be arguable .
It's crazy that KT might be the only developer that really do attractive girls well. I mean I love Yakuza games but their hostesses have a long way to go to get to KT level.
Love 'em. Big supporter of Vita, make some great games in a variety of different genres and clearly have decent ambitions.
Slightly disappointed they've ditched the platform at the final hurdle, but I won't hold it against them!
What games are they not bringing over anymore? I would have been day 1 for Nobunaga's Ambition. And yeah they're a huge part of why I love my Vita.
