[Attention] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2014: TOP 10 RESULTS TIME

I've been playing Dynasty Warriors since the first one on PS1 lol. I generally only stick with the mainline releases though, so I while I'll play the crap out of every mainline release every 18-24 months or so I usually don't touch any of the XL/Empires stuff. Usually doing everything or close to it in those is at least 100+ hours, and I'm usually kinda good at that point. I did put a good chunk of time into the 2nd Gundam DW game and the last two Orochi Warriors games, but that's about it. Haven't even looked at most of the licensed/spinoff stuff since they seem to generally not be well regarded even by the musou community, although I hear one of the One Piece games might actually be good?

But yeah, Hyrule Warriors' (relative) success in general just further cements my decade-plus argument that people mostly just shit on DW because of it's ridiculous story and characters. Which is a fair point, but once you've played one or two of them you know everyone and what's going on well enough that it's a non-issue. I've seen a ton of people who have hated on DW games who are now on board with them because of Hyrule Warriors, and with the Dragon Quest Warriors game coming out as well I'm curious to see what kind of new blood comes in. I was very surprised to see Philia as into Hyrule Warriors as she is. She's been making fun of me for years for playing Dynasty Warriors, but she is harassing me at every moment we are home at the same time to play this game.

Also a fun fact about Theatrhythm that I should have mentioned in my voting post regarding how much I love the game; a few months back we had an actual fire alarm go off at my work that was not a drill. I work on the 6th floor, after I got outside I realized my 3DS with the game was in my desk, and I ran back inside to get it. Yeah. Oh and to whoever mentioned in their voting post regarding Quest Medleys being annoying at a point since they're always level 99, use a Level Down Nut (Kupo Nut maybe? Forget the name), when you beat your current quest the new quest map you get for beating it will always be level 1. I just cycle through using those once the level starts getting to high since I also agree having 20+ song maps all at level 99 is annoying.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
