There is an amazing amount of complaining going on here. I always put Warriors fans waaaay above Sonic and Fallout fans as legit happy guys. While there are some things to be concerned about (as there are with any sequels to a series one loves), let's wait until we actually play it before casting such dismal aspersions on the game, shall we?

Legit concerns are cool, but I get the impression some have already decided the thing is awful.
Waaait. You can't be THE Jim Sterling, that's impossible. Though...07 account....no name changes. Huh. Guess we do have a celeb in our midst (in during I'm the only one who knows who Jim Sterling even is around here.)?


Regardless of your identity or not, you are quite right. Some of the Geniuses of Tian Shui around here have already condemned this game for the most minor and petty reasons. They won't listen to any valid logic based reasoning, and they fly off the handle when any new game details comes out. Its pretty sad how far this fanbase and this forum are falling when they are refusing to give this game a chance at all despite all the new features and things.

But oh well. Nothing can be done about that.
Oooooh gaaaaaaawd he's actually here of all places? Terrible reviewer, simply awful writing.
I Second This.

As for Why Xu Zhu looks a bit odd, it would appear that hes saluting, as simple minded as he is, im pretty sure Cao Cao has called him over and he got there by doing that and asking what he can do for him or something along those lines... its a very stiff pose hes doing there, when we get another screen shot, im sure he will pose more normally (or as normal as her gets anyway)

Also, Dont hate on Xu Zhu D:.. Hes out little teddy bear..

Bawwww :blush:

I can't imagine someone fierce looking like DW Ma Chao would flinch against someone looking like him... It's like a lion being intimidated by a hippo?
While I cannot speak for the actual fact of whether lions avoids hippos, the hippopotamus is more dangerous and kills more people each year than the lion by far. Hippos have incredible tusks and massive crushing power in addition to being unmatched in African waters, and are incredibly underestimated animals. :ot:

Actually not that OT, since its an apt comparison. Ma Chao is an overrated preening fool in gold, while Xu Chu looks lame and blobbish but is far more deadly in his crushing power.... :shifty: .

I can attest for you the ferocity of a hippo. They can snap crocodiles in half with a single bite.

Don't **** with hippos. Lions, leopards and crocodiles certainly don't.

So I agree, very good comparison.

I guess after you smashed your 2,000th peon to death with your gigantic club in the direct service of one of the most powerful lords in the land you'd get a reputation no matter what you looked like.

If those previous pics were worth anything, methinks he's catching a case of DW6 Xiahou Yuan with the hanging-out belly, sans the hair.

This guy's supposed to be a "madman" on the battlefield, fierce as all hell. Yet they continue to stick baozi in front of him during each installment's downtime.

I dunno about anyone here but I'd be pretty terrified if a gigantic bumbling simpleton charged after me with a giant club. I think Ma Chao should definitely feel concerned for his own well being.

He looks the same coming from his facial expression... A jolly guy. But his choice of clothes... It gotten a lot worser. I can't take this guy seriously... I never liked this design since DW2 or for Dynasty Tactics 1 or 2.

Hey just so you know Hippos kill more than Lions on the yearly basis, so yea it would only seem right for him to be the Hippo.

On the other this forum would probably be better off not recieving any type of info since a lot users are pessimist and some of them even try to justify their negativity by claiming they are realist. Not speaking to anyone directly, but if the shoe fits, grow some more so it doesn't.

Funny I think people have this mindset that Xu Zhu isn't this big dude that could snap you in two when they diss Ma Chao for wanting to avoid fighting the guy.

@necrosis

You have a point there. ;)

Many people complain about not having enough characters/movesets/whatever but in the unlikely scenario that we actually DO get things we wanted in abundance it would be too much to handle. Kinda like a street beggar winning the lottery and being clueless as to what to do with all the money. Can someone say PARADOX? :rolleyes: lol. Plus there's a little thing called MONEY. Tecmo Koei is doing too hot right now, duds like Quantum Theory and SW3 on Wii aren't helping.

I don't care as much about 100% unique movesets. What I really want is a more immersive (and difficult) battle experience. I know KOEI is finally giving us seamless transitions into gameplay but that is nothing knew and could have been included in DW6 (MGS4 was a good example of it). Make the entire game have the same feeling you do at the very beginning of playing a DW game: playing carefully, staying close to allies because you don't have any good items/weapons yet and don't wanna get annihilated. You guys kno what I mean? Make the friendly and enemy AI as competent as the AI in the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood...not just standing around waiting to get knocked down like bowling pins....

If KOEI did that, they would make ANYONE a believer... :cool:

Upon reading it again it doesn't huh? Talk about the wrong way to end a statement :lol: While I could come up with a logical reason for it to make sense, i don't want to it would take long.


Also didn't it state somewhere that when talking to someone in a base you could move around like God of War?

It's just comical...

The scene where a glare coming from the hippo-like guy scares off Ma Chao, the Splendid (the lion in this comparison) in Battle of the Tong Pass. It's just a scene coming from my head now...

It's true, Ma Chao was indeed overrated in RoTK.

In actual history, he's extremely selfish, coward in some way and not a champion in my books. He caused a lot of his own kin to die because he cannot hold his own misdeeds.

I know any Hippo can be deadly, however, they never get the image that they deserved with the public, just like Xu Zhu in DW series!!!

If you opt for food instead of lord, then it will be accurate to the hippo comparison all the way.

Yea i knew it was comical, but the choice of animals you chose couldn't have been more correct for these two :XD

Also nice Ma Chao avy.

Yeah. Hippos are always seen, much like Pandas, as cute & cuddly.

Nevermind they can snap your body into 3-4 different pieces with one good chomp.

I would like to thank KOEI for making the DW series based on TK era, it's one of my fave part in ancient Chinese history and I had enjoyed the game from DW2-6 so far...

But def. not being greedy here, I thought Xu Zhu deserves more in his image rights coming from his prolific career as a Wei general. Actually, Xiahou Yuan's DW7 image looks more like what I had in mind about Xu Zhu but I would get rid of that grand smile and give him an angry face with some missing teeth just to fit in my hippo joke.

If Ma Chao ends up fighting Xu Zhu by the river in the battle of Tong Pass, my money is on Hippo. :lol:

From a reliable source:

'I think I've caught a glimpse of Gan Ning, from one of the Chronicle Mode menus. He retains the yellow hair and looks very much like an European version of Tarzan, with a naked top.'

Methinks it's probably back to DW5 design, with a tattooed body, but with yellow hair now.

and

'No sign of Guo Jia, Cao Zhang and Wen Yang yet, who are confirmed to be generics. However, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Cao Hong and Cao Chun all have been spotted as generics.'

Since I don't really like Gan Ning much anyway, I don't care.

I think it was already addressed, but I don't think my ability as a videogame reviewer is really the subject of this thread. There are many other outlets through which you can let me know I am awful. This shouldn't be one of them. <3

Back on-topic, I just think the "fat dimwit" trope is played out, and was never funny to begin with. I don't know why anybody in any entertainment medium thinks it's a funny stereotype, because it's just ... not. It leads to very annoying characters, and Xu Zhu is one of the worst offenders. His more recent voiceovers have been borderline offensive with their "DUUUUR, I'M STOOPID" delivery.

It takes a lot of talent to make a mentally subnormal character funny rather than pointlessly tasteless or annoying, and I've not seen such skill evidenced within a Warriors game yet. Somebody, somewhere, clearly thinks it's hilarious, but I am certainly not one of them.
