[Multiplatform] Dynasty Warriors 6

On Hard, heh... you take so much damage at any level, even 99. If you get knocked off your feet once (not necessarily onto the ground), you better pray the AI fucks up.

Yea I've actually died before on Normal difficulty in Warriors Orochi (never happened in a Warriors game for me).

Hell, even Chaos mode is a bitch with every character upgraded to max....and pray you don't get more than one general on your ass, otherwise chances are, you'll be dead because they juggle the hell out of you.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that notices that.
That's why I gave up on gaming magazines, because at least 1/2 the stuff they show in the magazine, someone's gonna post on the internet somewhere. Not to mention reviews are stupid now. In one magazine, i've seen a review only last 1 paragraph, and then when the hyped up games that come out, like Halo 3, Heavenly Sword, Metroid Prime 3, etc, they get like 2-3 pages worth of reviewing. I mean if you don't even put equal time into reviewing, then one such as me can't really take it seriously.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I got nothing against people who like sports, but I personally have plenty of other things I'd rather do then watch a sport or play a game based on one.

Thing about that, is that everything has repetitiveness, but apparently people love looking at hack 'n slash games as the ONLY repetitive thing out there, which isn't true.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That is true. However they are doing various new ideas, like Fatal Inertia for example, not to mention they are on the verge of changes, like with Warriors Orochi.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They're doing that with 6.

You mean just like how other companies update an engine and call it new?

In terms for example, the look in changes from UE2 to UE3 has many features that it does in the background, but just from its looks, it mainly looks like a graphical upgrade. Now to the average person, when there's a graphical upgrade, it looks like the engine was upgraded as well.

Since some of the teachers I was taught that was from the industry consider DW6 to have a new engine, I just want to side with them on this.

Now don't get me wrong, it's not like it's a completely different game , but you said it yourself how they changed things :

Quote:

1. Combo system and characters have gone through a complete revamp. The combo system now rewards players based on how many hits they chain together without being hit.

2. Some classic character weapons have gone out the window, for example Lux Xun only has one sword, Dian Wei uses a ball and chain, Lu Bu now uses 2 spears instead of one and Sun Shang Xiang only attacks with arrows!

3. More authentic chinese war details, such as groups of soldiers carrying a flag with them to be more easily identified in the choas.

4. New landscape interaction climb sides of buildings, break down gates yourself (no more kill the gate guard bollocks) and swim through water as a stealth tactic.

5. New horse calling feature and duels return, only this time enemies form a circle to watch, rather then you being transported to a closed arena randomly.

I mean if you want to get that technical, then many games wouldn't be considered updated.

I just want to add on a side note I love discussions on here, instead of places like *cough*Gamefaqs*cough*, because apparently if you dislike something or don't agree eye to eye, they just ignore you and name call you basically.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The only problem though Slayer X, in my opinion, N3 felt shorter than DW games (generally because of the sheer amount of characters you could play as). It also had it's flaws as well, such as collision detection on certain bosses. Also, if there was 1000 characters on screen, what would be the point of having the special saying when you kill 1000 characters also?

When you also look at the comparison, there's a big change in draw distance, which when people compared between 5 and 6, they thought it was a needed change.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've never played it though, so I don't know how accurate that figure is.

Aren't they supposedly announcing that game to be released over here in the States later on?

FELIPE NO

Eh. I feel they've been doing ok so far.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Some of the stages I've seen, the music's been catchy to friends of mine who were bleh on the games.

Like this one for example with the opening to the stage:

Just wondering, did anyone import the game just yet?

Esh. This topic died out.
