Dynasty Warriors 7 Looks Slightly Nuts

Gatling guns? Surfing on enemies? Not sure what's going on with Dynasty Warriors, but I think I like it.

Wow, this game is modern! You can actually change from one weapon to another while you mindlessly press the same combos over and over again and occasionally pause to hear horrible dialogue!

Pretty sure I'm back on board, Koei. Just show me your combo system is awesome and I'll bite for sure.

I'll also wait for a price drop. I like me some Dynasty Warriors, but not enough to pay full price.

Looks like same old Dynasty Warriors, same old generic-ass guitar soundtrack, same button-mashing slightly-fun combat, same awful voice acting.

The tenth anniversary is for Shin Sangokumusou. The first Shin Sangokumusou was Dynasty Warriors 2 in the States. That is why the titles have the number differences. This is the 6th SSM game.

Uh, I'm not sure what DW YOU have been playing, but as someone who's played many of them as well as Samurai Warriors, this is entirely accurate. "

I HAVE been playing a DW game (actually, two), and I also consider the statement wrong: You have to press square AND triangle 800 million times  Oh, and I lol'd at "Conquest knows no boundaries". That's... kind of the point, guys. "
hahaha...yeah, boundaries are kind of null when taking someone over

@vinsanityv22:

The original game on PS1 was a fighting game and under a different name in Japan and is not part of the Japanese series.  The 1st Shin Sangoku Musou(japanese title) game on PS2 came to the US as Dynasty Warriors 2.  Hench the reason it's a 10 year anniversary. (This DW7 is only SSM6 in Japan)


Anyway, I'll wait to see if they've finally added some online coop or something, otherwise I'll wait until the price drops.

I haven't played a DW game since the second one but it looks like I could jump right into this one without missing a beat. If I hated myself. 
Is this the same engine as Fist of the North Star? Was that one any good?

" Sorry DW, Basara has taken the ball and run with it. Still looks like they are using models from the last 2 games. I'll probably still buy it tho >.> "
I wouldn't say that.  Basara may up the crazy scale, but it's stupidly linear.  The maps are nothing more than narrow paths linking small areas to battle in, and from my experience of playing Sengoku Basara:  Samurai Heroes, the battle objectives are static and never change based on the character you use.

Switch between two weapons...wow I remember when I saw that amazing feature in a small little game called Halo on the Xbox. Someone please time travel back in time & find whoever keeps pushing the DW series to be made & put them in another department or just make it yet another series only really sold in Japan though I'm starting to wonder if they want this series either.
