It almost sounds like it was a game they knew they were making and blew past in a meeting.

"What games are we doing?"

"Another Dynasty Warriors."

"Okay. Dynasty Warriors, Next?"

And then some intern wrote it down by mistake and a title was born.

They should do an American version of Dynasty Warriors with important historical figures from the US! Imagine killing millions as George Washington! And free all the slaves as Abraham Lincoln!

I love that people (myself included) are always shitting on COD for doing the same thing every year when pieces of dump like this get released over and over without the hint of a change.

And by the third game you'd be bored to tears by the repetition and lack of improvements.

Next is what I always say after any Dynasty Warriors game after playing that one 5 minute demo on the ps2 at some gamestop. Just still wondering what people see in the neverending sequels to these as they rarely change enough to justify getting the new ones unless it's something like this where it's a new platform.

I seem to be in the mood for dynasty warriors again. I've found the portable ones are more enjoyable than the console games.

This honestly looks way less good to me than the Samurai Warriors game for the 3DS, and that game wasn't much to write home about either.

Dynasty warriors is a franchise with a great premise but just rote and bored execution.

Yes, in the span of about 20 seconds, give or take. I did a social studies project on that.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is some fascinating shit. Yet no one's ever done something awesome with it in gaming.

Oh yes because being the first person to right a word on the internet makes you king of the universe.

This is why I fucking hate quests. People who post 'first' should be banned, not rewarded.

Red Cliff was based on that right? Cause some of those names sounded really familiar.

Just to see all the crazy, I would play this game. It's probably the only thing that could get me to pick up another "Warriors" game since DW2 to be honest. However, Koei is one for historical accuracy (not in terms of combat here, but in terms of setting) - there's no one American war that featured all these generals at the same time. It's not like with China, where the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era actually featured all these generals at once. They'd have to toss believability out the window - shocking, I know - and just plain introduce time travel. So, hopefully, we'd get Abe Lincoln going back in time to murder the British, or George Washington coming to the future to ...I dunno, save Custard from "the Injuns"? There's not a lot to pull from that took place on US soil, relatively.

I would love to see the crazy though :)

It's been done many times in films and gaming. Red Cliff altered a lot of the story and I'd say the original is much more manly and badass. Still wish there was a proper awesome action game.

According to Wikipedia, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the source of the proverb "three stinking tanners can overcome one Zhuge Liang."

If only this was Gundam, I'd be sold.

Also, the game pronounced 'Ciao Ciao' correctly.
