I'm wondering if anyone who HAS ACQUIRED the game, can list any possible flaws they see in it, with facts and elaboration. Also include a first thoughts rating as 10 being the highest and of course 1 being the lowest. I'm tired of everyone whining, yet they don't even have the game. (I will not going to point fingers neither but it's some on this very board) Thank you kindly in advance. few more hours |

Just picked up the game on my lunch break. Checked my local best buy this morning and it listed as not having the game in stock, checked back later and it said they did. Same story as a bunch of people who posted earlier, it wasn't on the shelves, guy thought it was weird it was suppose to be out on a Monday, he checked in the back and they had a few copies for both PS3 and 360. |

Gasp! I'll make sure to only kill Sima Shi now. Why would anyone imagine that? Edited by God-Like Phoenix, Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:04 pm.

Ok two things here: -Please don't spam and treat this thread as though it is a chatbox, this isn't for that. -Also, with double posting, don't do it! there is a perfectly fine edit function that you can use if you want to add more to a post. If you want to quote more than one post, you are just going to have to do it manually. That is not our fault, blame Zetaboards for that. To be honest I've sort of been neglecting anything DW related since uni has started back up for me, but seeing how I keep on getting reminded of how close it is to the release date, I might as well get a little excited . . . if only I had money to actually get the damn thing, and then have time to actually play it ahh well . . . I have time, I'm not in any rush, it seems like a pretty good game, so there's no point to rushing into it (^.^)

I wonder how DW7 will display on SDTV? I suppose it will be widescreen like Hokuto Musou, but still look decent. |

Bumping this. I too want to know people who has the game there honest opinion in a gaming point of view and not as a DW fan. I want to see what this game is like from peoples point of view though from what I've seen, its a definite 8 Minimum 9 - 9.5 Max. Though I have a feeling IGN and Gamespot might give it under a 8 as they usually give crap reviews on good games. |

That's optimistic! Based on their Troy review, I'd say that a 6/10 would be the absolute best they'll give. But it's best not to take reviews of FPS junkies into consideration. |

It shouldn't be in widescreen, unless they did something different because DW6 wasn't in widescreen. |

Check your local BestBuy, ask them to look it up in the system. I have it in my possession though I'm at work. |

Welp, I should hopefully have my PS3 copy soon so I shall leave some first impressions sometime soon. I do have class tonight so I'll be anxiously waiting to play all throughout class, haha...I will likely do Kingdom mode first as well to get it out of the way for Chronicle mode, I'll probably go in chronological order as well because I love Wei, sort of like Shu, don't really like Wu, and Jin won't even start until the very end, plus I don't care for Sima Yi (I consider him a traitor, although historically he was supposedly loyal and it was one of his sons who organized the new kingdom thing) |

Been playing steadily since Friday, and I really have to go out on a limb and say that this is definitely "Dynasty Warriors 3" for the current gen consoles. Trust me, this is probably the most understated way I can convey how good this game really is without coming off sounding like the Dynasty Warriors fanatic I am. ![]() Characters: At first, there were a few characters that I was plenty sour on. However, after actually getting the chance to use them and play through their Legend Stages in Conquest (to get a glimpse at their personalities since a good number of warriors are absent in Kingdom Mode), certain folk have actually grown on me. The designs themselves are actually pretty fantastic when you see them in motion, especially on the SDTV that I'm currently using. I'm pretty sure they'd look better on an HDTV. I still keep my opinion that Sun Jian is the most improved character on the roster in terms of overall design and personality evolution between last gen (2-5) and this gen, including 6 and 7. Final Score: 9/10 Sound: As you could probably expect, I'm gonna go ahead and rank this pretty high, as well. Not because I'm a fan of MASA's hard-hitting instrumentals. The very same ones that are as signature to the DW series as a good Hadouken is for those of us that are into fighting games. Oh no. I give this category high marks for not only the quality of the music, but the memorability of each and every single song in the game. A lot of the miscellaneous battles outside of Conquest Mode have tracks that are pretty standard, yet still give a good feeling for what's taking place. However, the MAJOR fights and events are all given an audio treatment that makes each not only sound but feel memorable. As far as audio goes, my only gripes are with certain voice actors new to the series. In particular the VA's for Zhong Hui and Sun Quan. The acting itself is decent, but some of the lines come off a little... well... off. Not enough to really damage the quality of the work, though. Also... There is one glaring omission I found when I finally beat Jin's Kingdom story. I heard not a single note of Kinki Kids' Time!!!!! Sad thing that this excellent song was removed for the US release. Final Score: 8.5/10 Gameplay: The one I'm sure everyone's been waiting for. The gameplay in this particular iteration of the famed series is, in a word, SOLID. The movesets for each weapon flow really well from one attack into the next. The charge attacks, even beyond the character specific EX attacks are pretty unique and offer tons of robust ideas for on the fly strategy for those willing to take the time. The 36 weapon types definitely play like they have a sense of comparative weight to them. Twin Swords and Nunchaku feel light, swift and responsive. Meanwhile heavier weapons like the Twin Axes and Great Sword are plenty hefty, and make a meaty impact when the hits connect. The way that Kingdom Mode is set up, it tells the story of the Three Kingdoms in amazing fashion. The main players in this epic that are relevant to the central chain of events are give quite the detailed representation and characterization. The events themselves are a treat. Powerful and expressive. Personal anecdote: My fiancee and I actually cried during certain death scenes. On the flip-side, I had to pause the game during the Battle of Chibi as we both jumped up and cheered after Huang Gai's moment of pure, blazing badass-ery. Final Score: 10/10 Overall, there are improvements that can be made, like dealing with the pop-in when there are so many enemies on screen, for starters. However, I'm pretty sure with upcoming patches and DLC Weapon/Stage/Music packs, this will seriously become the best or, at least, most comprehensive game in the series. Total Score and Grade: 9/10 - A My apologies for the wall o' text, everyone. Edited by Sai Feilong, Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:10 pm.

Spoiler: click to toggle Thank you so very much for this, My eyes widened when I saw you stated "definitely Dynasty warriors 3 for current gen consoles" All Time Favorite. However I didn't see any Cons, and without cons you can't help but look like a fan. I'd love some con : D Edited by Oppa, Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:24 pm.

Great review there Sai Feilong. Good to see lots of people enjoying this game, it looks like its turning out to be the game i always wanted. Still the only real negative for me is not being able to replay story mode stages with other characters. Thats one thing i've loved in past DW games. Btw, should we not have a new thread today/tomorrow because its the release of the game. + we have over 470 pages in this one. |
