First European Review for "Dynasty Warriors 7"!!!
Review score: 80%

PS3clan.nl - Dynasty Warriors 7 - Review score: 8/10 (80%)
http://ps3clan.nl/2011/03/dynasty-warriors-7-review/



(I can not speak english well)
I think, its a good Review score. Because the western reviewers are normally (usually) hate the Dynasty Warriors games.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ??




Too bad I can't speak dutch -_-;

Edit: Shadow beat me to the translation! :realangry: :whistle: :XD


From what I can see, its not too bad a review especially from a western source... The real tell will be how the 'big' reviewers that most gamers ignore (like IGN-ore :P) score it.


Edit #2: Intersting little piece translated from the review

"We now understand why the publisher Tecmo developer Omega Force, Koei with again a new part on the market. It lies not in the simple gameplay, it's the combination of a grand and overarching story, combined with the strategic battles."

Seems like Koei's finally charming mainstream western audience with the RotTK storyline, which past DW's didnt really do all that well.

Favorable western reviews are about a dime or dozen. But we can probably expect the same song and dance of low reviews from the mainstreams like Gamespot, Gametrailers and IGNorant.

Oh, and the complete jokes and wastes of time, like X-play.

Oddly enough, G4 was where I first heard of Dynasty Warriors, I was at some dude's house and he watches G4 and a cheat show came on talking about cheats for DW3, so I started looking up the game thinking it was a hack and slash along the lines of Gauntlet (The remake for N64) and ended up buying the game. Mere weeks later I'd found and bought DW3 XL and was drooling waiting for DW5 and the first Samurai Warriors, haha.

Other than that, though, G4 is pretty crap. Those reviewers on Xplay talk so much **** it's not even funny...but then again I hate it when people bash video games, especially when they're really not all that bad. I mean like E.T. and shovelware like the majority of licensed games I can understand, but they act like games such as the Musou series and the Samurai Dou series are trash when they really aren't...

I'm predicting a 5 from Gamespot, and at most a 5.9 from IGN, because they basically skim through the game mashing only one button on the Novice difficulty.....

Anyways this is kinda off topic but I was wondering what Japanese reviewers rate the FPS games like call of duty, killzone and such? Do they rate them as poorly as the dynasty warriors series is rated overseas?

Btw to whoever posted that tidbit about Chin readying the dlc.... THANKYOU!!!! :D I can now be assured that I can play with characters using their dw 4-6 costumes!!!!! YAY!!!

i just want to say something to defend ign, even though i don't like them!

they review games more from a first time player stand point, and usually DW games don't allow for a very informational access point into the series.

other than that they just crap on everything about the game, even though every other game with the same game mechanics is a "break-through, super interesting" game.

You kidding me? IGN reviews of Warrior titles usually begin with something like "yet another one", "they still making these?",or "more mindless hack n slash."

Considering that the review for Legends of Troy over there sounded pretty positive and yet they still only gave it a 6, I will be guessing a 5.5 from IGN.

@Andreas: LOL :P want to put some money on that? :whistle:

Are we living in the same universe?

Well actually, IGN's average for the games is about 7.5, so we never know, could be better, could be worse.

Heard on GameFAQs that they kept in the trivia questions involving the style names but it doesn't look like they are using them normally in the game. At least it's a start though right? :rolleyes:

-----

I just discovered something weird about the stat system. I was keeping track of my Sun Quan's stats in the final Wu stage, it was 568 Health, 717 Attack and 641 Defense. When I went into Chronicle Mode I checked my Sun Quan to spend my Bukou on my Skill Tree and realized my stats were: 348 Health, 441 Attack and 411 Defense.

So it seems that stats in KM are set by stage (to keep the difficulty from going too crazy I suppose). I suppose you should still carry over the upgrades you pick up from officers, but I haven't been able to test that yet. I'll look into it tomorrow. I do know that Gold and Bukou carry over from KM to CM, so Stat drops SHOULD too.

---

Edit:
I just did the first 4 stages of Shu's story mode and now I think I understand how the stat system works for KM. Basically any Health, Attack, Defense or Bukou that you earn in the mode gets treated as being earned by the whole kingdom, while in the story mode. While whatever stat drops you pick up by a SPECIFIC character and your total Bukou at the end of the stage gets earned permanently by that character.


This should make things understandable:
My Zhang Fei stats before starting Shu's story:
Health 298 - Attack 301 - Defense 283 - Bukou 154.

While playing the first four stages (two with Liu Bei and two with Guan Yu) I picked up a total of:
Health + 30, Attack + 27, Defense + 26 and Bukou + 776.

Thus, upon starting the fifth stage Zhang Fei's stats were:
Health 328 - Attack 328 - Defense 309 - Bukou 930.

Now the confusing part is showing what actually gets carried over permanently into your character. So lets say I played the 5th stage and Zhang Fei got Health +10, Attack + 4, Defense + 7 and Bukou + 126 throughout the stage.

Zhang Fei's stats in KM at the end of the stage are:
Health 338 - Attack 332 - Defense 316 - Bukou 1056.

Whereas Zhang Fei's REAL stats - when I check them in Chronicle Mode - are:
Health 308 - Attack 305 - Defense 290 - Bukou 1056.



I hope this makes sense to everyone, I was confused for a bit while trying to figure it all out. It is also late so I may not be explaining this in the best way possible.

most likely this is gonna get crap reviews because it's DW, but i don't care about reviews much, only to know if there are any game ending bugs or graphics issues, but i havn't seen many bugs in this one so far [minus that random , 'can't move' glitch in that one video]

One of the Aussie guys posted a while back saying that EB Games will be releasing on the 31st. He said he had talked to someone who worked there.

The only thing that annoys me is that their advertised price is $10 more than JB HiFi ($89 - I asked), and $20 more expensive than Game.com.au ($79). Those two stores of course are releasing later on 14th April.

Now I have to weigh up whether I should wait and get it cheaper or go for the full $99 on Thursday.

EDIT: Just noticed that yuqi posted on the last page about this.

thanks for that :D
but what yugi mentioned is that you might have to have it preordered to actually get it early at ebgames ? i hope this isnt true as i might not be able to pre order it :/

I want to believe you're on the mark with those predictions. :heart:

Honestly, I don't pay attention to critics. Especially not when a KOEI game is involved because I know what to expect from the critics. But it'd be nice to see a western audience give the series the credit it deserves. I would maybe pay more attention to the reviewers if they obviously didn't scim through one level and then decided, okay it's the same as before. Might as well give it a low scoring.

Ew, I HATE western reviewers. Maybe if their heads weren't so far up their own ***** :realangry:

Has anyone seen Pang De in the game at all? As a generic of course. Or has he been left out again?
