Warriors Orochi is a crossover between the Dynasty Warriors cast (who are based off Chinese history/mythology) and the Samurai Warriors casts (Japanese History/Mythology)



It's not a step back at all, so you'll probably love it. The big difference is that instead of the Rock, Paper, Scissors style affinity system you'll control three (five in Gauntlet mode) characters at once, each with their own classification.

If I've been cracking out to DW8, is Warriors Orochi 3 going to satisfy my needs or will it feel like a step back?
Click to expand...

You'll miss out on some of the new weapons and characters (since its based off DW7) but the gameplay is a lot more fluid. Everyone has some form of cancelling ability (step, jump, wonder, special), you can continue combos through switching characters and it has the best weapon customizing system out of any of the current musou games.

Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate has a lot of stages too. Over 100 different stages counting the alternative stages you can't directly see on this image.

And that's just story mode.

Previous flash sale for PS1 titles being $1 was great. Hoping there'll be more than just the Tecmo Koei stuff already shown.

Hopefully Orochi 3 Ultimate is cheap. I told myself I would avoid buying retail-sized games digitally, but if it's cheap enough I'll make an exception.


Although it sucks that Koei Tecmo doesn't believe in packaging old DLC in their "ultimate" editions.

Awesome, thanks. If the price is right I may scoop it up, I only have DW8 for Vita so having a musou for PS4 would be great.

just technical performance wise? Sigma 1 introduces some weird loading times. There's an oddly long one when you open chests and a few brief ones throughout the main hub that can pop up during fights. There's some screen tearing.

Sigma 2 runs at a higher resolution than the 360 and holds the frame rate up better overall. That's completely at the cost of the 360 version's insane enemy mobs and gore, however. Still has the weird chest loading times lol

Ah thats a shame. Thanks for the info though.

Wonder if Skullgirls will be part of the sale, considering Beowulf is coming out today.

So do we know if it's JUST Tecmo Koei or will there be other companies?

So the question is:

Is Sigma 2 worth it if I already finished NG2 on 360?

Finished on Master Ninja BTW, loved that game despite some unfairness (like offscreen explosive shuriken attack spamming) on the higher difficulties.

I know the PS3 version has reduced gore, a real shame, but apparently they balanced the game better than the 360 version

If Sigma 2 is cheap, why not? It has Team Missions online mode and other playable characters. :)

If you want more NG, sure it's worth it. It's not really balanced-- it's just a different game altogether from the 360. The fight sizes are back to 5 or 6 guys max and there are a lot less fights, so the levels feel a bit empty. enemies have more health + harder to de-limb to compensate. They added Momiji, Rachel, and Ayane chapters. It is more fair than NG2 360, but not as fun, imo.

I bought orochi 3 (vita) for dirt cheap when psn had that dlc error lol, I might as well get the PS4 version to go along with it since there is cross save.

I think WO3 is a great beginner Warriors game since it's the most dense and feature rich. If you play it at appropriate difficulty level it will slowly grow you into it. Gauntlet Mode however, that's unforgiving and I love it.

How is Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z? I'm looking at it and might buy, if it goes on sale. Anyone purchased this game and can anyone tell me how it is.

Is NGS worth it? Was scared off due to hearing about the changes from black. Dont have a 360 now and did not finish black.

Warriors Orochi 3 is showing as 50% off on PS4/PS3/Vita for me ($30/$25/$20). Meh, too high for an impulse buy on the PS4 version.

It's fairly easy to purchase games from the US store and play them on your main account. So far though these prices don't seem nearly as tempting as the previous flash sales.

OP Unlimited World Red for those prices are rather good if you're a fan....though I heard Pirate Warriors 2 is MUUCCCHHHH better. Edit: Than the first PW which is on sale.

Bayonetta PS3 is worst version, as I'm sure most will say. Tempted about MGR.

absolutely terrible. It's not worth the time, regardless of the price

What DW game is the one to get? the only experience I have with the franchise is 15min of Hyrule Warriors.
Click to expand...

out of what is listed here?

DW7 Empires and Orochi(I'm counting it)

6 is by far the worst in the series, assuming Empires keeps that reputation as well

Meh...i already have Sigma 1 2 and Razor's edge retail...i'd take a PS4 remux of those games for 40 though, if Team Ninja were so inclined.
