Help picking between Dynasty Warriors 7 or Orochi warriors 3?

Hi I'm new here and i need help with making a choice.

Really enjoyed both Dynasty Warriors and Orochi Warriors but I only have the money for one.

I've been a fan of these games since Dynasty Warriors 2. The biggest factor is I have someone who will be playing with me 65% the time, split screen.

Next I think there are more stages in Dynasty Warriors 7 counting the addons and Xtreme Legends. That looks like a factor but Orochi has more characters and they look more varied, plus i loved the old Samurai Warriors ps2 game and its style.

So any opinions on number of stages/character or which game is more fun?

Dynasty Warriors 7, better Story, more developed characters, weapon switching, more and better DLC. Warriors Orochi 3 has more characters, but hasn't personally gripped me like DW did as the gameplay is although improved battles seem short and irrelevent, also story is stupid (essence powered super cannons, I rest my case :whistle: ). Also, Japanese voices may annoy you.

DW7 doesnt have multiplayer for story mode, its single player only. Conquest mode however is completely 2-player friendly, if less exciting. Warriors orochi 3 doesn't have that problem, but people have complained about te second player's screen being obscured by text alot. So there's good an bad in multiplayer for both.

Unfortunately I haven't personally played Multiplayer myself however from what I've seen with Dynasty Warriors is that the usual 'Invisible Peon's' situation still exists which as you travel through the maps enemies can appear quite suddenly. This can sometimes happen in single player but only on Chaos and Nightmare level difficulty usually. With Warriors Orochi having a weaker graphics system and tonnes more enemies on screen I can see the problem still existing or being worse, however it won't ruin the experience too much I believe. However to note each player can choose their own team in 'Warriors Orochi 3' this time unlike in 2 where both players had to use the same characters which was ridiculous.

EDIT: I'm not certain, but with Xtreme Legends 2 player Story Mode may become available.

Hmm, don't know what to do here, by the sound of it I should get Dynasty Warriors 7.

Do I have to unlock levels for Conquest mode by beating them in story mode? I admit I mainly enjoy playing these games with someone and would probably get something else if it were just for myself.

Actually, conquest mode stages are mostly short and boring stages (10 minutes and it's over) and these have nothing to do with story mode stages, which are great in my opinion.
Conquest mode DLC stages are awesome however.

To play story mode with your friend, you will need DW7XL as well.
But I read you wanted to buy it as well so no problem. (you will have to do the mixjoy everytime : changing disc to load DW7 content)

Anyway, if you ask me : I have more fun on DW7 than I have on WO3.
I don't really know why. Maybe because their are actually too much characters ? :/

Unless you keep your PSN account open, then your mixjoy will last about 3 days.

BTW Kenthos, Do you own PS3 or Xbox360?

I have a ps3 :)


Edit

I'm really feeling stuck here, I had all but decided on Orochi Warriors because it just seemed more multiplayer friendly and I love the samurai warriors characters but the addons for Dynasty Warriors 7 seems really neat.

The old levels are neat, I have really nostalgic memories of Dynasty Warriors 2-5 and playing those levels again would be neat. Also would love having the costumes from the fourth game.

The imput i need now is how many levels are in Orochi Warriors? Do the levels themself stand out in either?

Sorry for being wishy washy :unsure:
