Holy crap, so many 8s, I didnt think it would get this many

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

A 9 from Jim Sterling is all I need to know. Will buy.

Played the first few levels co-op today, haven't played a Dynasty Warriors game in yonks but its fun in a dumb way, definitely not great gameplay but decent enough. The story/direction is fucking terrrrrrrrrible though even from the start.

 

[Jobbs]

excited about the generally nice reception. it look sooo fun.

anyone have any idea why NA gets this a week after everyone else, including losers like australia (kidding! I love aussies)?

pisses me off. I really want to play.

I'm surprised Jim Sterling not giving a perfect score
Probably he deduce one point because the characters are to few

The golden rule of playing Musou games: You play for the characters, and nothing else. It's a bonus point if the gameplay turned out good.

It happens.

Just not for anything with the Zelda IP.

Even the most bombing of Nintendo IPs take at least a couple of months to drop.

Wasn't sure if this was posted already.

Maybe I'm just dying for anything Zelda but I, for one, can't wait for Hyrule Warriors to release. The overall higher than expected scores make me even more excited!

 

[Mendrox]

Yeah, it'll stay $60 for a long time, it might be $50 in a few months, but you aren't going to see $19.99 or anything like that.

Welp, bought it on Monday for 29 Euros so... not even a month. It's a Musou game which many people recognize so the sales won't be that good for a Zelda game.

 

[tanooki27]

good reviews. looks like this was a successful venture for N.

 

[jimi_dini]

A Nintendo published title going 50% off in a month?

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/metroid-other-m-wii-amazon-16-59-822993

in around 2-3 months. But that shit was Other M. Not only is Hyrule Warriors well made, but it also doesn't take a shit on the Zelda franchise.

 

[meppi]

These franchise dynasty warriors are like one-offs though. You only play so many dynasty warriors until your ass is burnt out.

What?

And that was several months ago.
Since then I added several more to the collection.

Anyway. Just shows yet again how reviews nowadays are pretty much worthless.
It's not just a matter of a reviewer having a certain preference, but more like how they completely misunderstand a whole genre or comment on a game in such a way that makes you wonder if they even played it at times. :-/

I normally only look at Nintendolife and PushSquare nowadays since the people there are fair most of the time, even if I don't always agree with their assignments.
As for Warriors games, the only voice I need to hear is Jim Sterling at this point.

This game has nothing to do with the character action genre you are describing

"Character action" is just what people who are ashamed of beat-em-ups call beat-em-ups. But broadly speaking these games come from the same root. So "Character Action" is derived from beat-em-ups and is a sub-genre of it.

I always thought the term "character action game" was just another way of saying "Devil May Cry clone" in all honesty.

So when are we going to get a Zelda Kessen or a Zelda Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

 

[Guamu]

When? (Serious question)

Even the Bombafull 101 mantained its price for a while

A Fire Emblem Romance of the Three Kingdoms game would make way more sense imo

 

[MagiusNecros]

A Fire Emblem Romance of the Three Kingdoms game would make way more sense imo

And the character designs wouldn't be complete ass if Awakening was any indication with the lack of working shoes and toilet armor.

 

[Hastati]

This reviewed a lot better than I was expecting! Hopefully it sells well enough to encourage more weird spinoffs like this. Also really wish I could play it :'(

Edit: and also encourage the use of Zelda in Zelda games as a playable character.
