Oh and you forgot Dcharlie am cry
DCharlie said: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.
You should be crying, that was money you coulda spent on your wife instead.
Excellent, is the animation really as good as in the trailer? It looked unbelievable.DCharlie said:And seeing as we have everyones X360 attention here - Pro Baseball Spirits 3 on the X360 is sexy goodness.
Really? I thought this is the last hope of them. This game was delayed half a year after all.Aryuken said:Well it's better than any efforts by Ms before on the Jap market. And it will only get better.
They are actually learning at a fast rate.

duckroll said: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.
Aaron said:Does anyone know when Ikusa Gami is going to hit the states? It's supposedly better than N3 at doing the same thing, and there's rumors its coming out by Konami under the name of Demon Chaos, which is about as generic as generic can be.

Okay, I'll take your strongly worded word for it.Lyte Edge said:Ikusa Gami SUCKS. SO. HARD. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID
bloke said: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.
Heian-kyo said:Uber disappointing impressions from Bebpo. I was really hoping this game would continue Miz's streak of awesomeness. Denied.
Any word on the music?
it was obvious from his posts that he didn't buy the game. he was taking somebody else's bad impressions & couldn't wait to post them.kpop100 said:I'm sure he enjoys spending 7000 yen plus on games he doesn't like!
duckroll said:Bebpo got the game and some other people have finished it. It appears the "savior of MS Japan" is another lameass failure! :lol
- Repetive gameplay
- Huge maps with tons of enemies that are all the same
- If you stop mashing buttons you take cheap hits and might die
- If you die you have to play the entire boring level all over again
- Crappy hit detection
- The story sucks
- The voice acting sucks
- There is no lip sync
- The animation in cutscenes suck
- The sound effects are weak
- No crowd noises
- The multi-angle story doesn't even make sense, some scenarios are simply "what if"
- The entire plot is spelled out in the manual and there is no twist
- Dynasty Warriors is better
- Samurai Warriors is better
- Ikukagumi is better
- Mizuguchi am cry
- Korea am cry
- Etc etc

phantomile co. said: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.

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:

Famitsu 360 gave it a 37/40, and Famitsu Weekly 31/40DenogginizerOS said:What did Famitsu give N3?

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
Francias Castiglione said: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.
jiji said:Hey, guys, ready to eat crow?
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!
DCharlie said:actually, i was going to mention the music - a couple of stages have pretty decent music , with some strangely sounding like MGS (!)
