So how is this? Honestly I Cant believe there still making these games. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed 2-3 but after that  its all regurgitation (4-5 and the psp iterations.) So would anyone recommend this for someone who used to be a fan of the series but  wants  a little more out of the experience, and their $60?

They still make these games?

I didn't even know this existed...I have been sort of a sucker for this series and may actually pick up this game since it's bringing back the "CAW" and I like creating my own character. I have also taken quite the break from the series so I could use some stupid fun. I won't pay $60 for it though.

wait for 6 empires

edit = o shit misread, i was in a hurry to post. IS THIS OUT YET?

Its a Dynasty Warriors game so...if you're a part of that group that finds sequel after sequel of the same exact game all over again compelling, like far too many people do, I'm sure its a good game.

Except, it's not the same game. None of them are."

Oh yes I know. There's an added digit to each one. Like Madden. Totally different."

I wouldn't say there all exactly the same, there a a few new elements here and there, but certainly not enough to call them new games, everyone since 3 seems to be a small expansion instead of a full game, which i guess is why i was wondering if by this point they had actually changed anything or if it still unbelievably  all the same.

If you haven't played it for a while then 6 is definitely a huge step from 2/3. Using a horse is a lot more intuitive since they've given you the ability to call it from anywhere on the map and given the horse the ability to jump. You can climb up ladders now (I know, doesn't seem like a big deal, but for DW, it is), and swim.

The only thing that has gotten worse is the fact that they have taken away the ability to use the Japanese voices. You're stuck with the English (something I had never heard in a DW game ever since I always switched to JP instantly.).

Wow that sucks bad, I always changed it to the Japanese VO's asap as well because the English ones are some of the worst I have ever heard.

I agree with you about Dinasty Warriors, but out of all sports game you had to pick Madden?"

Dude, I've played all of them, and they are exactly the same. "Little changes here and there" don't constitute a different game. I guess KOEI has taken it's philosophies from Nintendo. The "lets re-release the same game again but call it something else" philosophy. Good examples include Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Twilight Princess. "

You've obviously not played them all or you wouldn't say that."

Yeah, they still make them. They do because there is this thing called money that people have and like to spend on things that never change, thus making game developers think that they can earn more of this money by making the same god damn game over and over again.

The Empires expansions are fun. An apple is an apple, you're fine buttonmashing in Kingdom Hearts and God of War but have a problem doing it here. That's fine whatever, play something else. At least in "Empires" there's the occasional illusion of strategy and the completely satisfying feeling of conquering China.

I would def cop this game if they added an online function where you can play with your buddies

Dynasty Warriors is a great game series. Buy it and be amazed! I always invest more hours in a DW game than almost any other.

I personally think they messed up the combo system with this game with the whole infinite sqaure thing. They need to go back to the old system of having a different triangle attack after each number of sqaures. They also, while improving some characters, fucked with some of my favorite characters and gave them stupid weapons. And mirrored movesets? Wtf...

I like Dynasty Warrior's, maybe I'll buy this. 

I really liked 6 and played the crap out of it by myself. I might pick this up, but I dunno if I'll have the time for it.

Aw man, it looks like Jeff is playing it today.

1.  People that complain about Madden never changing:  what do you want them to do, put jet packs on the fucking players?  It's a licensed property based on a real-life sport with set rules.  There isn't anything "different" that they CAN do except just update it with new animations and such year after year.  It's been going for 20 damn years!!!  Give it a rest with the "oh, it's the same game over and over" criticism.  I use that criticism as well, but I also understand that there isn't much they can do to change it.
