Herecy, you mean you didn't wait for the superior PS3 version?

But I am playing the superior PS3 version, you fool!

 

[GhaleonEB]

The genre isnt weak. DW is a far superior game.

What genre is this anyways? Are games where you hack through giant hoards of bad guys a genre now?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Phantagram should stick to making Phantom Crash sequels.

Hmm I always thought it was just called 'DW and inferior clones'?

 

[Lyte Edge]

It's a Beat-Em-Up, or BEU, just on a grander scale, I guess. Same old mindless mashing though.

For some reason I find giving one guy a good pounding more satisfying that killing several hundred at once. (Just going from the video in N3). More does not always equal better. I hope this "genre" dies off soon.

What the hell, just because N3 sucks the whole genre sucks now?

people have always hated DW, i dont know why. its an awesome series.

Actually I hate DW because the setting doesn't do anything for me. I enjoy N3 much more than a typical DW game. Also, aren't the combos a bit more developed in N3? I don't know because I haven't played a recent DW, but they never seemed to be this deep back when I played one.

DW has a huge selection of characters, with a lot of moves.

 

[AgentOtaku]

My thoughts....

DW always sucked to me. Its always came off as one of those titles that if they kept making, people will always buy it....kinda like Lesser anime

Kingdom Under Fire, from what I've played, was pretty cool. Only gripe was the asstacular riffing tracks passing as music..

This game has some interesting artwork and looks like it has a cool enough story. Seems like a title you play in spurts and not marathon sessions (which is my preferred style of play, except RPGs)
I'll wait for this to be released in NA before I sheepshly hop on the thrash-wagon.

Anyone know if this is even going to be released stateside?

We already have this. I suggest we merge both threads to generate maximum N3 hate. :lol

So, how does N3 stack up against that PS2 title featuring 65-thousand-something mofos on screen at once? ...or has that game not released yet in Japan?

Well to be completely honest, that game was shit. It's a Taito action game, so that's about the same level as a very technically impressive D3 Simple 2000 game. :lol

Ikusagami is 60fps, has pretty bad graphics, shitloads of weapons, pretty much one combo, only one character, dumb AI and large boring stages.

N3 is 60fps until the framerate drops, has pretty good graphics, a few weapons, a few combos, 7 characters, dumb AI and large boring stages which are occasionally cool.

Sengeoku Basara is 60fps (I think, can't remember), has pretty decent PS2 graphics, quite a few weapons, several moves, 16 characters, dumb AI and medium sized boring stages which are occasionally cool.

Dynasty Warriors 5 is 30fps, has average PS2 graphics, shitload of weapons, shitload of combos and moves, 48 characters, decent AI and well designed stages which are occasionally boring and never really cool.

Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires is 30fps, has average PS2 graphics, shitload of weapons, shitload of combos and moves, 48 characters, decent AI, well designed stages which are occasionally boring and never really cool and an AWESOME strategic/management mode where you conquer China to win.


While N3 might not be the worst DW-clone yet, it's pretty much in that tier.

 

[Aaron]

For what it matters, DW4 and 5 are both 30FPS on PS2. No idea about the 360 version. I find the hate against DW a bit silly, especially when you're not required to buy every last installment. Just get DW5:Empires (played on Chaos) and be happy.

Wasn't DyWa a fighting game originally? What happen?

Sangoku Musou (fighting game) -> Dynasty Warriors

Shin Sangoku Musou (the DW we know) -> Dynasty Warriors 2

Shin Sangoku Musou 2 -> Dynasty Warriors 3

Shin Sangoku Musou 3 -> Dynasty Warriors 4

Shin Sangoku Musou 4 -> Dynasty Warriors 5

Sengoku Musou -> Samurai Warriors

Sengoku Musou 2 -> Samurai Warriors 2

 

[Acosta]

I still want to play it. It´s a shame, I really liked the demo on TGS, maybe it was too little to judge properly.

 

[RuGalz]

if people can just accept that it's a Phantagram game with Mizuguchi's name pasted on it, ...

Can't agree more. After listening to his/phantagram's talk at GDC, it's just too bloody obvious. Money hat ftw~

-100 Interest in the game.

 

[Zenith]

The producer should get most of the blame, as in the end the producer is the one who is in charge of development. If Phantagram wasn't up to snuff, then it should have been his job to recognize this and find a studio that could do it right. But he didn't, and as such he is responsible for the outcome.

Kobayashi was the producer of RE4. You're saying he had a greater hand in RE4 than Shinji Mikami?

Ya sure 'bout that duckie? DW5 runs at a smooth 60 if I recall correctly, and I'd expect Empires to do the same.

I had them at ??fps until this post:

So I have no idea. Who cares, stop derailing the one real truth in this thread! NINETY NINE NIGHTS SUCKS AND MIZUGUCHI HAS WASTED HIS TIME AND MS' MONEY! LOL LOL!

 

[CompositeMolar]

Mizuguchi should get bitch slapped for wasting is time
