I'm a member there but I haven't posted in ages. But anyway we all know Koei's lust for money milking and they're habit of releasing games left and right without major differences. Though I have nothing against that lol. Because I end up still buying the games. :lol: |

This is very common ya know,those guys at IGN take gaming waaaaaaaaaay too seriously.When they review it eventually,they will repeat themselfs over and over again like they always do. TDSpartan collection | wishlist Posts: 174 Registered: Apr '07 Date Posted: 12:32am Subject: RE: Koei Confirms Warriors Blend for U.S. koei just recycled character models from dynasty warriors to make samurai warriors. almost every single samurai character has an identical dynasty warriors counterpart. EG: Cao Cao, and oda, that fat guy (goemen i think) and meng huo, kenshin and Xu huang. so really it isnt over 70 playable characters. its just making duplicates of the dynasty warriors cast with differing move sets. This guy is an expert on the series <_< |

A lot of people dunno how to play Warriors game they only know how to put one button repeatedly they dont know combos, they dont know how to summon horse, they dont know how to swap and double musou, they dunno hold the musou key for 10 secs for unlimited musou attacks, so IGN are those people, not all but some. But some of them did say something right too! KOEI keeps recycling, well this is just a fan service game after all as I told it more than a hundred times (that means it isn't very good and attractive), just wait and u'll be surprised for Bladestorm.Some people like Warriors series, but not all. |

They'll really go nuts when Koei decides to announce Orochi Xtreme Legends, and Orochi Empires... Conquer China? Japan? BAH! Conquer TIME. |

Personally I'll hate KOEI if there's Warriors Orochi: XL or Warriors Orochi: Empires. For me Warriors Orochi this kind of game can be only released once. Unless KOEI JP loves to earn the innocent fans' money so much (well as you know KOEI JP can easily earn the money from Musou title)... |

True, but EA does exactly the same thing with their sport games. Every year they release a new NHL and Madden and only make slight changes to gameplay. It's nothing impressive really yet those games still get high ratings >_>. My guess is that Warriors Orochi barely gets 6.0 from both IGN and Gamespot. |

I dunno, I don't think it seems entirely out of the question. Though it does come off like they're a struggling company to have to release so many tiny insignifficant updates that are actually kind of a pain to play... Having to have two discs out and stand around the PS2 while it reads, loads, dumps blah blah blah. It's not so bad with empires cause it just reads you save file. But the XL games are kind of a pain. Then again, people will pay for anything... People are still buying Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and People are still buying Madden NFL games. And Capcom basically has nothing but titles that are just minor updates to franchises they've already so over saturated that no one really even cares anymore... It's to the point now where most people even flat out HATE megaman. A sad state of affairs indeed... Least they came out with Ookami... Er, but I'm getting away from the Original point. I think theres a possibility of something like an OrochiXL to come out, just as a way to bring in some quick funds with game that'd take them maybe... what? 3 months to make for a Japanese relase cause all they would have to do is through that 3 character system into SW2XL now that thats comming out and release it. And people would still buy it. I kind of get this feeling like I'm just paying for patches. From Dynasty Warriors 2 on up to Samurai Warriors Empires you can see the trends in experimentation. Like the whole Body Guard squad thing, and Duels. Really, when I think about it, I can't but think even the CO mode in DW5XL/Empires was like a Beta of the BB set up to do a limited test on the market to see if people would buy something they already more or less own a better copy of just for a Character Creation mode. Which.... I would... I really would... I intentionally set out for games like that. Even if they aren't a very good CC like in Soul Calibur 3. But then, I also like Soul Calibur in general. It's got a good mix of characters from all across the globe. Even America, oddly enough. |

Thats just because IGN bases their ratings on how popular games are. They don"t actually play through all the features of the game,they maybe do 1,2 or 3 levels or something. |

I think I watched a Gamespot video of SW5, and they said it had very little attacks. It was a level 1 Huang Zhong using square and nothing else... >_> |

BTW most of the games nowadays are having no much good quality. I sometimes felt old games are more fun to play. And yes, IGN only played 2-3 stages then they started to write the review. I think most of the US game sites, like GameSpot, X-Play, they're just playing few stages though, so if you asked them how many total characters in Warriors Orochi, they may ignore your question or some may say oh it's 77 because they read all the description for the game that company posted. Again, I think Asia game reviewers are more carefully in judging the game, Musou Orochi got 9/10 in Taiwan magazine though. They even provided the guide how to get Da Ji and Orochi and teach you some tricks to finish the game easily, that's the good way of reviewing. They always finished playing and completing it until the end then start doing the review and etc. Maybe US reviewers need to learn from them, not just skip all the games that they don't like, playing few stages and do the review. They can finished a game like Resident Evil 4 until the end and review but not DW?? If you checked the reviews, the characters they're using are always the original unlocked characters, this is a shame or maybe they're just lazy. Look at this review: http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1437/Rom...ingdoms_XI.html (watch the video please) Do you think they're actually play this game more than an hour before reviewing them? I think they're only encoding the opening and played the game for less than 1 hour, found it boring and simply did the review. (Still they're kind for giving this 3/5, they just rated it randomly) If they keep doing like this. The games will become less and less because JP developers feel don't want to make their games in English version. *I typed in real quick so I didn't (and was lazy) check my spelling or grammar mistake. |

Who says you need a PHD to play it? I've played it, and I haven't even gone to colledge yet!! Compared to playing some other games, like Unlimited Saga, ROTK 11 was peanuts. |

We've got to take into consideration that every single gamer on this planet is biased towards certain games. Like how I adore Dynasty Warriors 3.
We could come across hating particular games that someone else favours. Though playing a game for 30 minutes or so is hardly what I call fair. |

I guess there's some truth in Lildragonz words. Like how I hate all those sports games that just seem to keep coming up every single year. But come on, you didn't even get to the S-S-T bit!! You just push S-S-S-S and that's it. How do you expect to get to the bit where you're killing people left right and centre!!?? |

You know, part of the reason I like the DW/SW warriors is BECAUSE I can just mash the square button over and over. That and Nene's cute hips. But thats asside the point. If I want some deep melodramatic plot with earth shattering plots of intregue and what not I'd play Final Fantasy or something... But no, I want extremely loud rock music, and chinese guys yelling at each other before rushing head long into a sea of guys slightly less mobile than the terra cotta statue they'll build of him when he dies. But yeah, American game reviews anymore are all kinda crappy. They'll warn you off of the really horrendous games, but for the most part they just have other people play the game through, that person writes a summery, the actual review goes through, plays a few levels, then sits down and proceeds to just write a live journal about video games. It's all this kind of Nerd Celebrety mentality that seems to go around. So they end up spending most of their time trying to tell jokes or obsessing over one feature and just making nearly the entire review about that. Then there is X-Play. I swear they give games a 3 out of 5 for the specific reason of Pushing Gamefly rentals. That and they do like 4 minute segments about a game which are mostly just little skits that have nothing to do with the game. It just... erks me... so much... I don't care about Halo... Why do I gotta sit through 6 minutes of FPSwank when something I like gets the placenta end of an aborted comedy sketch and then a score at the end? Er... in otherwords. Don't listen to the critics cause they have their own little agendas. |

Okay, I just want to clarify one thing about me: I HATE it when reviewers use previous games in a game's series to give a score for it. For example, I hate it when reviewers say "Warriors Orochi has the exact same gameplay as DW3.5834XLE, so we had to take a point off for that one!" It shouldnt matter what other games are like in comparison to this one, it's about this game as its own. If they like the gameplay (a lot of reviewers DO), then they shouldn't take off points because other games have the same gameplay. |
