If they decide to make 10 (which they will) they need to look back on whats popular and whats not. 2-5 had difficulty, 6 introduced new things like swimming and siege weapons, 7 had amazing narrative to its story, 8 had great gameplay and unique weapons, 9's story had good pacing for each character on what they did and how important they were. 10 needs to have old school difficulty with 5 and 9 story for each character, 7's narrative for story telling and 8's gameplay and weapons. Hypothetical routes should only be given to characters that could alter history like Zhuge actually staying alive and being succesful in his invasions on Wei. Sun ce survivng and leading Wu. Edit- No open world it doesnt work go back to the old formula of stages.
Facts, 3-6 had great battlefield simulation. That’s probably the only thing 6 did well over other games. I really hope the battlefield simulation where your army/morale actually matters. Bodyguards should come back too. Also optional objectives and etc. being a one many army just isn’t cool imo if that’s how its designed if that makes sense. It’s only cool if you are actually op as part of a more realistic-feeling battlefield imo. This is what makes 3-4 so fun imo especially.
I mean, more and more devs nowadays are moving towards open world gameplay. I don't see why that should change in 10. KT could take what was good about 9's open world and improve upon it, while adding in the difficulty, storyline and weapons from 3-8.
My biggest problem with 9 is the combat system but I do miss the difficulty in dw 4 where you were forced to fight along side the CPUs lol but back to 9 don't get me wrong dw always had repetitive sort of gameplay but 9 is a whole new lvl basically you are forced to mash square like 90% of the gameplay could've been so much better imo with just more moves and less cloned movesets I completely defeats the purpose of introducing new characters they did an amazing job in 9 with character designs though
Yeah, the game is oversaturated with clones. Warriors games indeed have a repetitive gameplay loop, but imo this wasn’t a problem in 3-5 because the uniqueness of each individual character was enough to make playing through them all and learning how to be successful with them worthwhile. Now, if you play one clone, no reason to play the other except for being a completionist. And contrary to statements I commonly see, 3-5 “clones” were not even close to the same as 6, and especially 7 and 9 clones. The characters inherently had both different functioning overall moves (even if they may have shared the same first 3 hits of a string) and musous and you had to play them very differently to be successful. WO3 is the closest to 3-5 “clones” that the more modern games have come. Anyway, I’d be fine if they dramatically condensed the roster in exchange for super unique and deeper gameplay per character and everyone having a worthwhile presentation and representation in the games story mode (individual or kingdom)
I just hope they get rid of the stupid defense-locked mechanism when you're mindlessly tossing one enemy around for 2 and a half minutes. Set the one hit finish window within 2 bars of health instead of one if the enemy hasn't been able to hit you for a set amount of time, or something like that. The stupid "slowmo" every single time your character defeats an officer or captures a base is also extremely annoying. As a warrior, you just want to get on with the next assignment, right? It even opens you up to other enemy attacks as well. You completely drop your guard with that stupid slowmo, and there have been times where it's almost ruined my Chaos runs.
2:07 I felt that. I felt that in my soul. there will be quite a few episodes on my DW9 empires playlist where i spend a majority of my stream trying to figure out that the key to getting more troops and units on the field was how much rations i had in my kingdom.
This franchise as a whole has been on the decline for so long, their older titles like 3-4 maybe 5 just had the formula better.... if all they did was improve how combat felt while having the same vibe/difficulty/scene from the previous titles I swear it would be a bigger game. Personally I used to like body guards, leveling them up getting them gear and items it felt like I was building my own little squad. These guard are extremely helpful on the hard or chaos difficulties in XL games. why they didn't just expand on this and take it steps further with being able to buy units like in dynasty warriors XL, xtreme mode I believe. In those modes even tho in the end you just level up save and quit to become a god... on the road up on a new save buying valuable units to help you clear places is a pretty reasonable investment. Why they didn't extend this in empires where each officer would have to buy sets of units to be with them while having to maintain them during up keep phases would be another really fun strategic dynamic. Anyways this game has been dead for years maybe one day they will genuinely consider new ideas and make a quality title like they once had.
7 and 8 is the same as 4 and 5 Played from 3-4-5-6-7-8-9 and Orochi 2-3 6 and 9 is just really weird, i didn't get the vibe out of it The 3 is lacking stuff
Yep, back then (3-5) the games used to be way more about battlefield simulation than just 1 vs 1,000. The funny thing to me is while 6 was over the top it still had good battlefield simulation. But with 7, they brought back the combo system but didn’t keep the good battlefield simulation parts, and instead of being part of an army in warriors games from then on, you ARE the army. Just try picking the enemy side in DW8 and see how pathetic your usual side is without you unlike DW3/XL for example. This part of Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors seems like it may never come back. Too much focus on 1 vs 1,000 makes if more like sengoku basara than what the old warriors games were imo
5 was the last time it was great because it was the last game that they didn't have DLC and couldn't resell you the same shit over and over and over. That's all DW has become now, it's no better than the 30+ Madden games that are essentially $70 roster updates. Koei is lazy and I don't ever see them returning to glory, once the well dries up on companies that want spinoffs like Zelda, Beserk etc. they'll eventually fall.
Definitely agree I had wayy more fun with 8 than 9 as I get maybe 3 hours of fun then I jumped to something else as it's alright hell I can't even finish a scenario because how boring it gets at times
@@jacobharris7700 ah 7 was pretty good for a story I didn't like it personally with how anime like these characters look as I much prefer how more traditional in a sense how they look now as me personally I'd like dynasty warriors go back how it used to be from 2-5 with how of the era they look both with weapons and the overall outfit but I never played much of 7 empires if I'm honest as I missed that ship lol
How anime the Dw7 cast looked? Are you smoking, only Zhang He looks anime. Don't tell me You haven't played Dynasty Warriors Strike Force. It's Power Rangers Mode Animu. Dynasty as a franchise can only survive with leased or sold to other studios like the people behind Senran Kagura...
They missed so much opportunity with the open world. 1. Territory boundaries should be marked on the open world map. Wandering Into enemy Territory will risk getting attacked. 2. Having the opportunity to start skirmish battles while strolling. 3. Bring the elite roaming bandits/ animals back for xp and items 4. Some Territories have multiple cities/ castles, battles should rotate between them. 5. bring back mercenary missions, imagine escorting a caravan from xuchang to luoyang for major companionship increases and items. rescue missions to regain officers captured in battle. Raiding for gold and rations. Saving an officer before he is executed within a time limit.
I would like if DW9 have stealth feature, especially since "Assasination of Dong Zhuo" is becoming its own battle instead of just a narrative for the story.
I'm convinced that base D9 was a beta test for D10 whenever that comes out. The open world COULD work if its exclusively next gen only with better AI and more enemies on screen.
The game that made me lose faith with Koei Tecmo. Which saying something since i loved Dynasty Warriors series, specially empires one which are my favorite. Pretty much I really regretted buying this game full price. This game is advertised to be wide as open sea but when the game releases it just deep as a puddle. I HATE that they don't have the feature that make previous game so good, which is the custom scenario. And no updates for months after release is just infuriating. December Update: BRUH THEY HAVEN'T TOUCHED THE GAME AT ALL.
This really isn't a new thing koei has been lazy for years,they have the bad habit of releasing a new game but they never support the games with expansions,new characters and free content updates just look at warriors all Stars good game with great Gameplay but could have been expanded with move villains and playable characters but nope koei dropped it
I just miss being able to make your own scenarios. I want to have war with my created characters in there rightful faction not randomly picked characters everywhere
One of the things in dynasty warriors 9 that could improve on is the presentation.. not just the menu but the presentation of the entire game.. introduction for the characters, flashy musou arts, beautiful environments with Chinese sculptures and monuments, local natives living, celebrating within its world until war begins, war need to be like war with mixture of mystical and believable battles, characters emotions, stage presence for characters, meaningful and emotional dialogue.. etc..
Gotta say, 8 Empires was/is one of, if not, my all time favorite DW games since 2. My only gripe with it was I was greedy and wanted more. 9 and 9 empires could have been Dynasty Warriors 8.5 Empires Deluxe Directors Cut with just more customization options, cut scenes, etc., and I would have bought it 3 times over just to make a point. Lol The combat system alone in 9 and 9 Empires alone feels so backwards, I struggle to enjoy basic combat let alone the rest of it. I would almost prefer to go back to the PS2 era of combat before using the current ones they implemented. Regarding the lack of customization options, I couldn't agree more. I spent over an hour blindly searching the internet in hopes that MAYBE I was just an inexperience dip sh!t and I needed to unlock additional items. All in all, I pray for the future of DW. I would hate to say good bye to our old friends in the three kingdoms but, if they need to try the formula with different franchises, I would prefer to be open minded than get another DW 9 or 9 Empires again. Plus, I actually liked Hyrule Warriors, and Fire Emblem Warriors looked really good too. PS: I will admit, however, that the idea to be able to use multiple types of weapons and improve in them was a really cool idea.
Didn't many Wei and Shu generals or officers earned the title Maquis, with some being dukes? Despite dying or falling in battle before being acknowledged, they were given nobility and their living children, nephews, or nieces simply inherit the status. Among them is Zhao Yun and Xu Zhu who were the ones with plot armor living to be around 75 and had a kid or two?
I’m sure on the lead up to this game I left multiple comments on these videos talking about my excitement for the potential that the game had if it was done right. However, as usual, it’s potential wasn’t realised and I can’t understate just how disappointing that is. I’ve done two playthroughs in this game and then I dropped it because it just felt the same every battle and it just wasn’t enjoyable for me so I felt like I should wait for updates, but somehow there’s been none? I don’t quite know what I’m holding on for now, it’s not like I want these games to fail either but koei isn’t giving them a chance to succeed.
All warriors games need to let us create our own character and use special moves like dragon breath , flying dragons , animals mosou, elemental mosou , adding katanas dark magic , demons all type of crazy shut will make this game more amazing tf
Awesome video, as always. Very concise and to-the-point. Personally, I was going to wait until it's price dropped before I even considered getting it (like I did with base 9), and this video just further convinces me that that is the right choice. But man, it looks like a fun time lol
my 2 problems with the game (yes I said 2) is that if you are doing something in kindom menagment and chance is under 98% it will FAIL and you can't have max weapons if you are not playing on hard or chaos
240 hours in. It's hard not to put time into this game. It stinks this game was never fine-tuned(clonky combat right when you're trying to get into the groove of things), and that there is NO POINT in the trading system. The only point of selling stuff is to create more space for more rare artifacts/items. DW did the great music added to it's 9th main installment a great misjustice as well(I absolutely LOVE some of the orchestrated pieces). It's still pretty epic riding the hills of the new map though. I guess.
I was so excited when I heard bout the new in depth edit based on Nioh 2 but man… If they at least added more clothing (preferably not behind a pay wall) I feel like it have more enjoyability. We got all these character slots but kinda hard to make unique characters with so little to use
It's a fun game but it's lacking so many features that would make it better imo. 1. The player should be able to recommend officers for promotion to general if we are the grand general. And we get to recommend who is replaced as general. The AI lord will often choose generic officers over musou officers for whatever reason. 2. If the player is in a alliance with another kingdom we should be able to send reinforcements to help if they are invaded. As it is they can only send the player reinforcements and it seems too one sided. 3. When i try to negotiate an alliance sometimes the officer i send will threaten the other leader. To threaten the other leader or not should be a risk/reward choice that I get to make. Not something that just randomly happens. 4. I can't change my allies weapons or military unit settings. If i can change my characters settings i should be able to order my officers to change theirs. This is a bit of a problem for me because my favorite Wei team is all Calvary. 5. Game should have a "propose trade" option to trade captured officers back, or to simply trade for officers of equal value. Like legendary/gold color for legendary. Also should be able to trade for unaffiliated officers in another rulers territory. 6. Can't choose vagrant force color or kingdom color. I should be able to choose from available colors that are not taken for my kingdom. Probably some things i am forgetting but this will do.
I think the game is soild I was just disappointed because they could of added so much more but they didn't like on 6 empire you can customize soldiers and your banner and in this one you can't I also felt the open world was still empty like why not add a way to go around find materials to make better weapons and armor
or make the missions from 8 like assassination, defend the village, and raid caravan into quests that you can do while wandering around during strolls.
Do you think having Bandai or Namco to make the Next DW X game might include better system, and FIX the existing Creative Problems that DW is plagued with?
Bro imagine any of the Nintendo co-builds with this game’s ai, Three hopes with an A.I that actually knows the difference between left and right would be awesome
Three hopes for me was a terrible Disappointment both stories and gameplay. Koei stop your gimmicks please expand on your Mechanics you managers should be Fired from Omega Force.
Honestly bring back the idea that basic troops can be a threat to you 4 has always been my experience for the best at doing this for example the final battle with wei cao cao's horsemen bodyguard could fuck up even a max lvl character if you weren't careful Whereas now your basic trooper is just another k.o and usually just one 10 that you get in a single attack
Same treatment as SW4 Empires almost but we don't talk about SW4 Empire >_> Especially when SW 5 was a wasted prequel ig? Idk Koei and the other ones W force are just annoying as hell the past few years to me.
@@thn4296 other than that are the cloned weapons thats also on SW5 and they want us to pay for full price $60-70 with shit base game quality and many unnecessary DLC like weapons and costumes that should have been on the base game
The thing is, I am somewhat intrigued by the open world, for a few people it's something they love, and the open world could work but they would need to put in a lot of detail, let's say each province has its detailed battlefield or two, when you enter the battlefield it is enclosed but off of it you can be in an open world setting, I believe they could make two editions for dynasty warriors 10, a kingdom storyline like dynasty warriors 4 and 8 and another where each character gets their own story mode like in 9, the weapon system of dynasty warriors 8 with each character having unique weapons, and potential side quests in the open world that will lead to certain events and affects whether in the dialogue or battle itself, and honestly fix the hunting mechanic, a bit of a controversial opinion but remove grappling hooks in battles since it takes away from the purpose of having sieges, I've never played dynasty warriors 9 but I've seen game play so I'm basing this off of that Edit: I would also like to have the original combat system from like DW8
It seems like we need a dynasty warriors 4 remake D:, it's impressive how good that old game is, but even more impressive that they don't make a really good dw, I had a lot of fun with dw8 but it's still missing more, some characters were so bad to use
I got this game on sale and I'm glad I did, I still felt paying around 30 dollars was allot for this. dw7 was allot more fun but I'm not paying full price for that as a PC port
My biggest issue with this is the fact that there is a 110 dollar version of the game with all the DLC. Back in the older games Empires was an expansion with different mechanics you didn't get into the base one and new officers. Now its a glorified bug patch to fix some of the issues wrong in the base game. I tried the demo and it did not feel any different to me than base 9 did. Samurai warriors 5 was a lot of fun but Dynasty Warriors feels like the franchise is going to end up heading in a DoA: Last Round sort of direction trying to get every single penny they can from the fans for minimal or no effort. There is no real reason Empires or even XL should be a thing still, as expansions it never changed up things that much from the main game and could easily just be incorporated into the base at this point. Sure they could add in characters and weapons as standalone dlc still but it already feels like a lot of these are characters or weapons that were already done, they just choose to lock them behind an Empires or XL paywall. Even SW5 did the same thing with DLC for weapons and stuff that launched along side the game or only a week or two later so they were more than likely already completed.
and I was so hype after hearing the news about the game... I absolutely love DW8E but after seeing the mess DW9 and DW9E has become... perhaps I will wait for -50 or -70% discount and hope for DW10 to be release as an actual good game
I wonder if it’s big project is actually the new one alongside Team Ninja. Wo Long. Honestly Koeis collabs with Team Ninja are the best, I think we need this for warriors games going forward because like you said. Koei alone, do not care about this series. Thanks for this video and reminding me that I made a great choice in not buying this game.
My main beef with Empires is that a lot of the stories don't actually feel like the times they were done. Historical battles in my eyes are really cool but heavily underutilised. However having more individual stories tied to set characters and factions would give a lot more weight and variety to the types of characters you play in each point in time. Alas, they all suck at this so one experience will often feel the same as the last.
Wait a goddamn minute there's Raiden in DW9E?! If you really wanna see low graphics play the Switch version. Yes i have that one because the PS4 version was never to be found.
This game deserve to have a new update like DW8 Empires, i heard Touken Ranbu Warriors it's almost release so I hope this game will be update. I'm so upset by Koei 😐
Aw damn I had no idea this game was out until today and I was SO damn excited because I LOVED 8 empires and was rushing home to buy it, but then I remembered it's 2022, and remembered how pretty much every new release from my favorite franchises over almost am entire decade have been complete shit. So I watched your review and was heartbroken yet again. I should have learned by now not to get excited for any new game. Man this sucks. Well thanks for saving me $60
its good but its sucks - star lord im looking forward for the custom scenarios, but they remove custom flag, horse, soldier, scenario, etc. just a small things but really help with the immersion also the ultra realistic graphic made me uncomfortable, i rather spend lots of hours on soul calubur 6 cc
download codes are such a mess in this game as it's platform locked & only one can be shared. Honestly I'm not too proud of the Yor one but if u really want it & ur on steam I can reply with the code.
I remember playing the demo and every enemy officer only targeted me. And the allied AI refused to do anything. So I lost the demo fight because it was 1v6 and I literally couldn't even attack without getting wombo combo'd into oblivion. And I knew that's exactly how the full game would be too. So I'm waiting for it to go on 90% discount. I refuse to pay more than 10 dollars for this garbage.
this game costed me 150$+ and after all this time they still have not given us online play, any more dlc, nore have they finished making the game, they got the money they wanted and are satisfied. I have footage and proof that the game is incomplete and broken. We can sue them together guys and girls. Everytime the game freezes... or kicks you out... record it, we can all come together and file a lawsuit as a person on the grounds that they overcharged us for a broken product then refused to fix it after they got the money. Hung up on people after cursing them out, and event went so far as to take away our ability to make our own armies o...o which should also be a crime. Someone neeeeds to sue these bastards, my lawyer said I have a case after showing him everything, you guys could do the same
I liked this game more than 8 empires (I think what killed 8E for me is that other kingdoms literally do not do anything in the strategy phases no matter what your difficulty is whereas in 9 they more actively attack you and other kingdoms) but yeah I agree that this game has some pretty crazy issues that are just unacceptable for a full price PS5 title. Also one thing you didn’t mention that I think should be brought up is how god awful the open world strolling mode is. It’s totally bizarre how bad it is considering the game was delayed SPECIFICALLY to bring back the open world in some capacity after enough criticism from both fans and staff that it initially wasn’t returning. There is nothing to do but interact with officers and take out the occasional bandits or animals. There’s not even any purpose in having the entire map available because officers are never in territories you don’t control, strolling into enemy forces is empty, which is so weird. 9 at least had enemies patrolling throughout the map. “Selling” is also just discarding because everything is worth zero. 👍
I was not a fan of this new combat system.. just didn’t feel good to me and I didn’t feel like I was in control. I love dynasty warriors but I hope they make some major changes. I still play DW3 , 4 and 5 still ❤️
Oh yeah....I have this game. I've been playing 3 other games so I haven't played it since laun h. Probably do it after I beat elden ring since I do love the dynasty warriors game. After all it was 5 empires that got me into the game in the first place
This is sad to hear once again koei disappoints , Dynasty warriors 8 empires was already very mediocre(way too repetitive and easy)if you have done a playthrough of empires 8 you have seen everything it has to offer using strategem doesn't really add strategy to the game it's just a gimmick and Faster way to capture bases,the lack of cutscenes and Events is also another problem there is not a lot to do in This game,the biggest problem of modern musous is that they are easy as hell to the point that you don't even need to learn the games mechanics you Will win either way
they really need to do something with this game. I love the series and hope it will never die out but they need to make it great. Dynasty warriors 9 is probably the worst yet.
ok everyone with me, here is a solution to fix atleast the crashes and laggs and lonnnnng load screens. Call xbox live, ask them to talk to a supervisor, tell the supervisor that a broken game has been release on xbox and everytime we call the support team they curse us out and hang up the phone. If we can send in atleast 5000 calls on that, microsoft will look into it and make them fix the game. Then do what I did for a refund, call your bank and tell them you were sold broken product and the people who sold it refuse to fix it. Your bank will ask you to 3 way them, the idiots hung up on my bank immediately, money was returned to my account and chase bank sued the bastards. It probably happened to them tons of times already which is likely why they are so angry and stopped trying to give us fixes patches updates and dlc for a new game
The flaws are all subjective. The game is far from just okay tbh. Its a good game but youre right about it not being great. The combat feels amazing, you can use different weapons which helps alleviate some of the repetitive grind, but overall its the dynasty warriors people really like. As for the price, i think the price is alright, but then again, i can afford it. I guess if youre tight on budget and is not in a good place financially, the price is a lil bit expensive.
Dynasty Warriors 9 is better the empire. Now before this video old and everyone goes off on me just listen and let me right y’all wrong. 9 Empire is a good but listen why tf I gonna get artifacts on hard or chaos. While 9 got craft, fishing, all item, and more. Dynasty Warriors 9 empire is to capture a base that it. And yes I like English dub so what if y’all don’t like it switch to Japanese and Chinese or go back and play Dynasty Warriors 8 instead. Look Dynasty Warriors 9 is still cool and I like open world. End of story
I completely agree with everything I own 9 and 9 empires. I have been playing dynasty warrior since the very first one and it seems like since 6 it's going downhill Don't get me wrong All of them have a lot of good things going with them. 9 and 9 empires damn these both could have been absolutely amazing but they f***** up hard😢
This game has content worth of 20 dollars max . 60 is a cash grab with this low amount of efforts being put into, just sell your damn franchise Koei somebody will make it better
My biggest complaint about this game that I can't give a pass at all, is whoever calls this game pretty I must feel has never played like any other game ever, this game is not pretty, it's bland, it's lifeless, it's empty, Just play samurai warriors five, and each map feels unique and has a lot of life and characteristics, the irony is samurais warriors maps are far from perfect and in many way feel super linear in strategical options. And despite all the flaws Sam five has, it basically feels like a masterpiece in map creation in comparsion to the emptiness of dynasty warriors 9. I would of much prefered a samller world, with more life, then a large world with no life
The game became wack af after 4, why? Because there was just too much going on, like for example 7 n 8, cmon man, characters where flying back n forth, its like wth, how is this fun. It made no sense at all. If every character didnt share the same vombos, with just a hint of powers to make them unique, i feel it will make the game more interesting, amd the weapon swaping thing is a horrible idea, because it doesnt allow you to stuggle to learn that character and her/ his uniqueness, like back then. With weapom swap everyone is lubu, makes no sense. I remember playing 3 n 4 amd having to struggle with the bow. 5 i kinda like tge extension of the add on combos for the regular attacks. That was nice. Made some characters who were useless more useful. Anyways the new changes as in weapons like heaven earth and etc. Made no sense. I also missed the hunting for your legendary weapon, that was awesome. Also the body gaurd system. -imo the best thing in the franchise is slow it down, make the game more challenging without making every boss a sponge. -add dodges, blocks, counterblocks, amd etc.. to make it a little more based on skills, just like 3 n 4 , also add on air combos. -improve the character creation and body gaurd charater creation. -allow moves set up for gaurds amf character creation, for example, if you like zhao yun, and machao, you can add moves between each of them, for like there charge attacks, and musous. And for the gaurds also, this will alllow you to have gaurds to have lifts to allow more air combos. There so much more. -outfits can be added on to real officers too. To make the game a hunt and grind to make your officer looks the way you want. It will increase gameplay time and make it more rewarding, and makes those have certain elemnts that helps out the character, and also be avle to swap the looks, between them, so if you have a bad looking gear, bit good effects, you can swap the looks. There just so much i cam go on amd on. And these stuff arent new to koei, they have down similar stuff like this with current releases of games they have created... Like nioh 2 etc.. -add back in the item systems. Also add back in the legendary effects of the last weapon to make your character feel more unique. -take out all the weird characters that make no sense, like wth have a gun back then? Or who the heck uses a boat to fight, a scroll to summon ppl to fight for u, etc... and the 2 flying sword guy in shu, etc.. wth are they even in there, it makes no sense. -i do like how they made sun jian 100x better than he was in 345, thats a plus. Thats what i want in a game. To buff characters and make each character to feel unique, and solid. Sun jiam is the perfect example. -zhao yun in 8 was also a good change, but his flying attacks was a bit too much imo. The game should feel balance between the characters, none should feel out of place. -Everyone should have a lift, aoe, a stun, to set something up. -add back in the solo duels between players and cpu. -allow for the clunky funny add on dialouge, it makes the game fun to play to see what the response will be for every character. Imo this makws it so you get to see ur chacter or officer its rewarding imo, to see a different response every chacter like dw3 lmao.. There just so muvh more... -Amd they need to make guan yu better. He suppose to be the god of war, yet he gets bested by almost every pfficer becuase hes slow and weak.. smh.. lol so muvh more. I can go on n on. If ya agree give a thumbs up or reply in the comments below, i was a really big fan of the franchise and i would love to hear your opinions too. Together we might be able to convinve koei to really reconsider this open world bs and bring back a game we use to love.
DW9E is a big letdown and iam glad ihavent picked it up... my main reason is the absence of both Online and Offline coop, dont understand why these features were never even included in the base game, adding to that the lack of support and proper update for optimization sake for players who own next gen consoles.... ialso wanted some more DLC weapons and characters to be decloned but iguess they have plans for DW10 already and we may see the new installment sooner than we think Awesome review btw
If they decide to make 10 (which they will) they need to look back on whats popular and whats not. 2-5 had difficulty, 6 introduced new things like swimming and siege weapons, 7 had amazing narrative to its story, 8 had great gameplay and unique weapons, 9's story had good pacing for each character on what they did and how important they were. 10 needs to have old school difficulty with 5 and 9 story for each character, 7's narrative for story telling and 8's gameplay and weapons. Hypothetical routes should only be given to characters that could alter history like Zhuge actually staying alive and being succesful in his invasions on Wei. Sun ce survivng and leading Wu.
Edit- No open world it doesnt work go back to the old formula of stages.
Facts, 3-6 had great battlefield simulation. That’s probably the only thing 6 did well over other games. I really hope the battlefield simulation where your army/morale actually matters. Bodyguards should come back too. Also optional objectives and etc. being a one many army just isn’t cool imo if that’s how its designed if that makes sense. It’s only cool if you are actually op as part of a more realistic-feeling battlefield imo. This is what makes 3-4 so fun imo especially.
I mean, more and more devs nowadays are moving towards open world gameplay. I don't see why that should change in 10. KT could take what was good about 9's open world and improve upon it, while adding in the difficulty, storyline and weapons from 3-8.
My biggest problem with 9 is the combat system but I do miss the difficulty in dw 4 where you were forced to fight along side the CPUs lol but back to 9 don't get me wrong dw always had repetitive sort of gameplay but 9 is a whole new lvl basically you are forced to mash square like 90% of the gameplay could've been so much better imo with just more moves and less cloned movesets I completely defeats the purpose of introducing new characters they did an amazing job in 9 with character designs though
Yeah, the game is oversaturated with clones. Warriors games indeed have a repetitive gameplay loop, but imo this wasn’t a problem in 3-5 because the uniqueness of each individual character was enough to make playing through them all and learning how to be successful with them worthwhile. Now, if you play one clone, no reason to play the other except for being a completionist. And contrary to statements I commonly see, 3-5 “clones” were not even close to the same as 6, and especially 7 and 9 clones. The characters inherently had both different functioning overall moves (even if they may have shared the same first 3 hits of a string) and musous and you had to play them very differently to be successful. WO3 is the closest to 3-5 “clones” that the more modern games have come. Anyway, I’d be fine if they dramatically condensed the roster in exchange for super unique and deeper gameplay per character and everyone having a worthwhile presentation and representation in the games story mode (individual or kingdom)
I just hope they get rid of the stupid defense-locked mechanism when you're mindlessly tossing one enemy around for 2 and a half minutes. Set the one hit finish window within 2 bars of health instead of one if the enemy hasn't been able to hit you for a set amount of time, or something like that.
The stupid "slowmo" every single time your character defeats an officer or captures a base is also extremely annoying. As a warrior, you just want to get on with the next assignment, right? It even opens you up to other enemy attacks as well. You completely drop your guard with that stupid slowmo, and there have been times where it's almost ruined my Chaos runs.
Dynasty warriors 4 and 5 will forever be my favorites such nostalgic moments and traditional Chinese feeling
2:07 I felt that. I felt that in my soul. there will be quite a few episodes on my DW9 empires playlist where i spend a majority of my stream trying to figure out that the key to getting more troops and units on the field was how much rations i had in my kingdom.
This franchise as a whole has been on the decline for so long, their older titles like 3-4 maybe 5 just had the formula better.... if all they did was improve how combat felt while having the same vibe/difficulty/scene from the previous titles I swear it would be a bigger game. Personally I used to like body guards, leveling them up getting them gear and items it felt like I was building my own little squad. These guard are extremely helpful on the hard or chaos difficulties in XL games. why they didn't just expand on this and take it steps further with being able to buy units like in dynasty warriors XL, xtreme mode I believe. In those modes even tho in the end you just level up save and quit to become a god... on the road up on a new save buying valuable units to help you clear places is a pretty reasonable investment. Why they didn't extend this in empires where each officer would have to buy sets of units to be with them while having to maintain them during up keep phases would be another really fun strategic dynamic. Anyways this game has been dead for years maybe one day they will genuinely consider new ideas and make a quality title like they once had.
No u 3-5 are better for you because of the nostalgia
Because dw7 and 8 are good and very enjoyable
@@KookieMonster99 Warriors Orochi 3 is a great game too. 4 was ok.
7 and 8 is the same as 4 and 5
Played from 3-4-5-6-7-8-9 and Orochi 2-3
6 and 9 is just really weird, i didn't get the vibe out of it
The 3 is lacking stuff
Yep, back then (3-5) the games used to be way more about battlefield simulation than just 1 vs 1,000. The funny thing to me is while 6 was over the top it still had good battlefield simulation. But with 7, they brought back the combo system but didn’t keep the good battlefield simulation parts, and instead of being part of an army in warriors games from then on, you ARE the army. Just try picking the enemy side in DW8 and see how pathetic your usual side is without you unlike DW3/XL for example. This part of Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors seems like it may never come back. Too much focus on 1 vs 1,000 makes if more like sengoku basara than what the old warriors games were imo
5 was the last time it was great because it was the last game that they didn't have DLC and couldn't resell you the same shit over and over and over. That's all DW has become now, it's no better than the 30+ Madden games that are essentially $70 roster updates. Koei is lazy and I don't ever see them returning to glory, once the well dries up on companies that want spinoffs like Zelda, Beserk etc. they'll eventually fall.
Definitely agree I had wayy more fun with 8 than 9 as I get maybe 3 hours of fun then I jumped to something else as it's alright hell I can't even finish a scenario because how boring it gets at times
My favorite dynasty warriors game is 7. I think for now is the best of all dynasty warriors game. Idk about dynasty warriors 10? tho 🤔
@@jacobharris7700 ah 7 was pretty good for a story I didn't like it personally with how anime like these characters look as I much prefer how more traditional in a sense how they look now as me personally I'd like dynasty warriors go back how it used to be from 2-5 with how of the era they look both with weapons and the overall outfit but I never played much of 7 empires if I'm honest as I missed that ship lol
I'm playing Empires 8 right now I'm having fun with it.
How anime the Dw7 cast looked? Are you smoking, only Zhang He looks anime. Don't tell me You haven't played Dynasty Warriors Strike Force. It's Power Rangers Mode Animu.
Dynasty as a franchise can only survive with leased or sold to other studios like the people behind Senran Kagura...
They missed so much opportunity with the open world.
1. Territory boundaries should be marked on the open world map. Wandering Into enemy Territory will risk getting attacked.
2. Having the opportunity to start skirmish battles while strolling.
3. Bring the elite roaming bandits/ animals back for xp and items
4. Some Territories have multiple cities/ castles, battles should rotate between them.
5. bring back mercenary missions, imagine escorting a caravan from xuchang to luoyang for major companionship increases and items. rescue missions to regain officers captured in battle. Raiding for gold and rations. Saving an officer before he is executed within a time limit.
honestly this is whatbibwas expecting, but strolls now end up a chore and waste time
Escort Missions are in Dw4 XL Xtreme Mode too
I would like if DW9 have stealth feature, especially since "Assasination of Dong Zhuo" is becoming its own battle instead of just a narrative for the story.
I'm convinced that base D9 was a beta test for D10 whenever that comes out. The open world COULD work if its exclusively next gen only with better AI and more enemies on screen.
The game that made me lose faith with Koei Tecmo. Which saying something since i loved Dynasty Warriors series, specially empires one which are my favorite.
Pretty much I really regretted buying this game full price.
This game is advertised to be wide as open sea but when the game releases it just deep as a puddle.
I HATE that they don't have the feature that make previous game so good, which is the custom scenario.
And no updates for months after release is just infuriating.
December Update: BRUH THEY HAVEN'T TOUCHED THE GAME AT ALL.
This really isn't a new thing koei has been lazy for years,they have the bad habit of releasing a new game but they never support the games with expansions,new characters and free content updates just look at warriors all Stars good game with great Gameplay but could have been expanded with move villains and playable characters but nope koei dropped it
@@isidoro19david65
And that game pretty old too by now. Their promise on that turned out to be empty one.
I just miss being able to make your own scenarios. I want to have war with my created characters in there rightful faction not randomly picked characters everywhere
I think that is a draw back of still being semi open world.
I just reinstalled Dynasty Warrior's 8 Empires and playing that. I'm enjoying it already have 100 hours on it.
To be fair Dynasty warriors needs a story driven reboot like samurai warriors 5
One of the things in dynasty warriors 9 that could improve on is the presentation.. not just the menu but the presentation of the entire game.. introduction for the characters, flashy musou arts, beautiful environments with Chinese sculptures and monuments, local natives living, celebrating within its world until war begins, war need to be like war with mixture of mystical and believable battles, characters emotions, stage presence for characters, meaningful and emotional dialogue.. etc..
I loved DW3. Such a shame some of these recent releases have been a miss. Great video, thank you!
Nah DW3 was my all time favorite game when I lost the disk I cried for a whole month because GameStop told me they don't make the copies anymore
Warriors Orochi series is pretty good. And Hyrule Warriors is definitely worth playing.
Thats my favorite Dynasty warriors. Shame they will never remaster it
Dw3, dw5❤
Gotta say, 8 Empires was/is one of, if not, my all time favorite DW games since 2. My only gripe with it was I was greedy and wanted more. 9 and 9 empires could have been Dynasty Warriors 8.5 Empires Deluxe Directors Cut with just more customization options, cut scenes, etc., and I would have bought it 3 times over just to make a point. Lol The combat system alone in 9 and 9 Empires alone feels so backwards, I struggle to enjoy basic combat let alone the rest of it. I would almost prefer to go back to the PS2 era of combat before using the current ones they implemented. Regarding the lack of customization options, I couldn't agree more. I spent over an hour blindly searching the internet in hopes that MAYBE I was just an inexperience dip sh!t and I needed to unlock additional items. All in all, I pray for the future of DW. I would hate to say good bye to our old friends in the three kingdoms but, if they need to try the formula with different franchises, I would prefer to be open minded than get another DW 9 or 9 Empires again. Plus, I actually liked Hyrule Warriors, and Fire Emblem Warriors looked really good too.
PS: I will admit, however, that the idea to be able to use multiple types of weapons and improve in them was a really cool idea.
I have thousands of hours in DW8E. And only 240 in 9 XD
They should try with a new system like Honkai Star Rails, but with Musou System.
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 I could get behind that 🤔
@@gseric4721 I’m in the same boat there. Haha 😂
They should keep the custom officer system for any future Dynasty Warriors or Warriors Orochi games.
Didn't many Wei and Shu generals or officers earned the title Maquis, with some being dukes? Despite dying or falling in battle before being acknowledged, they were given nobility and their living children, nephews, or nieces simply inherit the status. Among them is Zhao Yun and Xu Zhu who were the ones with plot armor living to be around 75 and had a kid or two?
Xu Zhu is insulting to the Historical Xu Chu, Chinese written as 许褚。
I’m sure on the lead up to this game I left multiple comments on these videos talking about my excitement for the potential that the game had if it was done right. However, as usual, it’s potential wasn’t realised and I can’t understate just how disappointing that is.
I’ve done two playthroughs in this game and then I dropped it because it just felt the same every battle and it just wasn’t enjoyable for me so I felt like I should wait for updates, but somehow there’s been none? I don’t quite know what I’m holding on for now, it’s not like I want these games to fail either but koei isn’t giving them a chance to succeed.
0:25 RULES OF NATURE!!!
All warriors games need to let us create our own character and use special moves like dragon breath , flying dragons , animals mosou, elemental mosou , adding katanas dark magic , demons all type of crazy shut will make this game more amazing tf
you can create your own character
Dynasty warriors 4 had Create a Character
We need some original weapon types for custom characters.
You forgot to mention that the create a character feature is also limited in the actual character build itself
which is weird because the older ones (like 8e) had a lot more variety. they got a brand new engine and did jack with it
@@belannawalker2164 Yeah,a lot of potential for the game is untapped
This dude needs more viewers and subs i love the way he quickly mentions all points smoothly.
Hate that it loads every 10 seconds another load screen
I like the friendship ratings it's nice being responded to lol
Also nice to see the children of ppl also get recognition from there parents s
Awesome video, as always. Very concise and to-the-point.
Personally, I was going to wait until it's price dropped before I even considered getting it (like I did with base 9), and this video just further convinces me that that is the right choice.
But man, it looks like a fun time lol
my 2 problems with the game (yes I said 2) is that if you are doing something in kindom menagment and chance is under 98% it will FAIL and you can't have max weapons if you are not playing on hard or chaos
240 hours in. It's hard not to put time into this game. It stinks this game was never fine-tuned(clonky combat right when you're trying to get into the groove of things), and that there is NO POINT in the trading system. The only point of selling stuff is to create more space for more rare artifacts/items. DW did the great music added to it's 9th main installment a great misjustice as well(I absolutely LOVE some of the orchestrated pieces). It's still pretty epic riding the hills of the new map though. I guess.
I was so excited when I heard bout the new in depth edit based on Nioh 2 but man…
If they at least added more clothing (preferably not behind a pay wall) I feel like it have more enjoyability. We got all these character slots but kinda hard to make unique characters with so little to use
Saying how it is this is why I love your channel
It's a fun game but it's lacking so many features that would make it better imo.
1. The player should be able to recommend officers for promotion to general if we are the grand general. And we get to recommend who is replaced as general. The AI lord will often choose generic officers over musou officers for whatever reason.
2. If the player is in a alliance with another kingdom we should be able to send reinforcements to help if they are invaded. As it is they can only send the player reinforcements and it seems too one sided.
3. When i try to negotiate an alliance sometimes the officer i send will threaten the other leader. To threaten the other leader or not should be a risk/reward choice that I get to make. Not something that just randomly happens.
4. I can't change my allies weapons or military unit settings. If i can change my characters settings i should be able to order my officers to change theirs. This is a bit of a problem for me because my favorite Wei team is all Calvary.
5. Game should have a "propose trade" option to trade captured officers back, or to simply trade for officers of equal value. Like legendary/gold color for legendary. Also should be able to trade for unaffiliated officers in another rulers territory.
6. Can't choose vagrant force color or kingdom color. I should be able to choose from available colors that are not taken for my kingdom.
Probably some things i am forgetting but this will do.
Please bring back the old fashioned L1 + triangle, counter system.
It will make all battles 100 times more emerging and fun.
I think the game is soild I was just disappointed because they could of added so much more but they didn't like on 6 empire you can customize soldiers and your banner and in this one you can't I also felt the open world was still empty like why not add a way to go around find materials to make better weapons and armor
or make the missions from 8 like assassination, defend the village, and raid caravan into quests that you can do while wandering around during strolls.
Do you think having Bandai or Namco to make the Next DW X game might include better system, and FIX the existing Creative Problems that DW is plagued with?
DW origins demo is out. Thoughts?
A video from you is always a treat
Bro imagine any of the Nintendo co-builds with this game’s ai, Three hopes with an A.I that actually knows the difference between left and right would be awesome
Three hopes for me was a terrible Disappointment both stories and gameplay. Koei stop your gimmicks please expand on your Mechanics you managers should be Fired from Omega Force.
Honestly bring back the idea that basic troops can be a threat to you 4 has always been my experience for the best at doing this for example the final battle with wei cao cao's horsemen bodyguard could fuck up even a max lvl character if you weren't careful
Whereas now your basic trooper is just another k.o and usually just one 10 that you get in a single attack
Same treatment as SW4 Empires almost but we don't talk about SW4 Empire >_> Especially when SW 5 was a wasted prequel ig? Idk Koei and the other ones W force are just annoying as hell the past few years to me.
SW5 was good the problem is it has less characters and no replay value
True enough, just didnt see the point in it beyond things like the art style really.
@@thn4296 other than that are the cloned weapons thats also on SW5 and they want us to pay for full price $60-70 with shit base game quality and many unnecessary DLC like weapons and costumes that should have been on the base game
How about Sw4-II?
The thing is, I am somewhat intrigued by the open world, for a few people it's something they love, and the open world could work but they would need to put in a lot of detail, let's say each province has its detailed battlefield or two, when you enter the battlefield it is enclosed but off of it you can be in an open world setting, I believe they could make two editions for dynasty warriors 10, a kingdom storyline like dynasty warriors 4 and 8 and another where each character gets their own story mode like in 9, the weapon system of dynasty warriors 8 with each character having unique weapons, and potential side quests in the open world that will lead to certain events and affects whether in the dialogue or battle itself, and honestly fix the hunting mechanic, a bit of a controversial opinion but remove grappling hooks in battles since it takes away from the purpose of having sieges, I've never played dynasty warriors 9 but I've seen game play so I'm basing this off of that
Edit: I would also like to have the original combat system from like DW8
dynasty warriors origins out. thoughts ?
It seems like we need a dynasty warriors 4 remake D:, it's impressive how good that old game is, but even more impressive that they don't make a really good dw, I had a lot of fun with dw8 but it's still missing more, some characters were so bad to use
I got this game on sale and I'm glad I did, I still felt paying around 30 dollars was allot for this. dw7 was allot more fun but I'm not paying full price for that as a PC port
The lack of costumes to use is what killed my interest. E8 I had a ton of unique outfitted characters but this one didn't give me that
Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate has Every Dw Costume from Dw7 to Dw 3.
My biggest issue with this is the fact that there is a 110 dollar version of the game with all the DLC. Back in the older games Empires was an expansion with different mechanics you didn't get into the base one and new officers. Now its a glorified bug patch to fix some of the issues wrong in the base game. I tried the demo and it did not feel any different to me than base 9 did. Samurai warriors 5 was a lot of fun but Dynasty Warriors feels like the franchise is going to end up heading in a DoA: Last Round sort of direction trying to get every single penny they can from the fans for minimal or no effort.
There is no real reason Empires or even XL should be a thing still, as expansions it never changed up things that much from the main game and could easily just be incorporated into the base at this point. Sure they could add in characters and weapons as standalone dlc still but it already feels like a lot of these are characters or weapons that were already done, they just choose to lock them behind an Empires or XL paywall. Even SW5 did the same thing with DLC for weapons and stuff that launched along side the game or only a week or two later so they were more than likely already completed.
and I was so hype after hearing the news about the game...
I absolutely love DW8E
but after seeing the mess DW9 and DW9E has become...
perhaps I will wait for -50 or -70% discount
and hope for DW10 to be release as an actual good game
Which is the best recommended dynasty warriors game that isn't an empire game?
So they brought back the silliness of the DW franchise and wondered why it works
I wonder if it’s big project is actually the new one alongside Team Ninja. Wo Long.
Honestly Koeis collabs with Team Ninja are the best, I think we need this for warriors games going forward because like you said.
Koei alone, do not care about this series.
Thanks for this video and reminding me that I made a great choice in not buying this game.
I wouldn't be able to find even one millisecond of fun in this
i never realized how fun was DW8E until i played DW9E honestly
it is really shame that DW8E pc port is really bad
Just need a remastered version of DW3
My main beef with Empires is that a lot of the stories don't actually feel like the times they were done. Historical battles in my eyes are really cool but heavily underutilised. However having more individual stories tied to set characters and factions would give a lot more weight and variety to the types of characters you play in each point in time. Alas, they all suck at this so one experience will often feel the same as the last.
So uhh... wait for DW Empire 10?
Wait a goddamn minute there's Raiden in DW9E?! If you really wanna see low graphics play the Switch version. Yes i have that one because the PS4 version was never to be found.
This game deserve to have a new update like DW8 Empires, i heard Touken Ranbu Warriors it's almost release so I hope this game will be update.
I'm so upset by Koei 😐
Aw damn I had no idea this game was out until today and I was SO damn excited because I LOVED 8 empires and was rushing home to buy it, but then I remembered it's 2022, and remembered how pretty much every new release from my favorite franchises over almost am entire decade have been complete shit.
So I watched your review and was heartbroken yet again.
I should have learned by now not to get excited for any new game.
Man this sucks.
Well thanks for saving me $60
I HATE how HUGE the event banners are. They make it very hard to see who you are fighting and it’s annoying.
its good but its sucks
- star lord
im looking forward for the custom scenarios, but they remove custom flag, horse, soldier, scenario, etc. just a small things but really help with the immersion
also the ultra realistic graphic made me uncomfortable, i rather spend lots of hours on soul calubur 6 cc
"Remember when games used to be FUN, kids? Yeah, I fucking hated it."
@4:08 I agree with you completely. People fail to understand this. (Like Dragonball Xenoverse 2 for example)
DW10E and i hope KT also makes WO5, WO series are just so damn good
Who is the blue hair character? I havent played since the ps2 era, and she look like LoL jinx
Custom character
No 2 player split screen…
the problem with this game is getting bored easily its too repeative
i had fun playing this game . i had problems with graphics
Like the video and been a fan of dynasty warriors since #4 and thank you for the info 💪🏾
Any way you can give us download codes for your characters? I saw some on other videos but not that Yor one for example
download codes are such a mess in this game as it's platform locked & only one can be shared.
Honestly I'm not too proud of the Yor one but if u really want it & ur on steam I can reply with the code.
I remember playing the demo and every enemy officer only targeted me. And the allied AI refused to do anything. So I lost the demo fight because it was 1v6 and I literally couldn't even attack without getting wombo combo'd into oblivion. And I knew that's exactly how the full game would be too. So I'm waiting for it to go on 90% discount. I refuse to pay more than 10 dollars for this garbage.
Guys please help! i received message that tell me "The Northern tribesman have attacked & destroyed your kingdom"
What should i do please help!
the passion in this video and the comments needs to be seen by dw devs
this game costed me 150$+ and after all this time they still have not given us online play, any more dlc, nore have they finished making the game, they got the money they wanted and are satisfied. I have footage and proof that the game is incomplete and broken. We can sue them together guys and girls. Everytime the game freezes... or kicks you out... record it, we can all come together and file a lawsuit as a person on the grounds that they overcharged us for a broken product then refused to fix it after they got the money. Hung up on people after cursing them out, and event went so far as to take away our ability to make our own armies o...o which should also be a crime. Someone neeeeds to sue these bastards, my lawyer said I have a case after showing him everything, you guys could do the same
Definitely definitely, later we should SUE HOYO...MIHOYO for ripping off players in Honkai.
I’m waiting for samurai warriors 5 empire I hope the graphics is not same in 5 I want 4 graphics I have been enjoying samurai warriors 4 empire
9E just looks so....off to me idk how to explain it
I liked this game more than 8 empires (I think what killed 8E for me is that other kingdoms literally do not do anything in the strategy phases no matter what your difficulty is whereas in 9 they more actively attack you and other kingdoms) but yeah I agree that this game has some pretty crazy issues that are just unacceptable for a full price PS5 title.
Also one thing you didn’t mention that I think should be brought up is how god awful the open world strolling mode is. It’s totally bizarre how bad it is considering the game was delayed SPECIFICALLY to bring back the open world in some capacity after enough criticism from both fans and staff that it initially wasn’t returning. There is nothing to do but interact with officers and take out the occasional bandits or animals. There’s not even any purpose in having the entire map available because officers are never in territories you don’t control, strolling into enemy forces is empty, which is so weird. 9 at least had enemies patrolling throughout the map.
“Selling” is also just discarding because everything is worth zero. 👍
thanks, i went ahead and gave you a like
I was not a fan of this new combat system.. just didn’t feel good to me and I didn’t feel like I was in control. I love dynasty warriors but I hope they make some major changes. I still play DW3 , 4 and 5 still ❤️
Oh yeah....I have this game. I've been playing 3 other games so I haven't played it since laun h. Probably do it after I beat elden ring since I do love the dynasty warriors game. After all it was 5 empires that got me into the game in the first place
This is sad to hear once again koei disappoints , Dynasty warriors 8 empires was already very mediocre(way too repetitive and easy)if you have done a playthrough of empires 8 you have seen everything it has to offer using strategem doesn't really add strategy to the game it's just a gimmick and Faster way to capture bases,the lack of cutscenes and Events is also another problem there is not a lot to do in This game,the biggest problem of modern musous is that they are easy as hell to the point that you don't even need to learn the games mechanics you Will win either way
I'm still playing 9 empires it's so fun
they really need to do something with this game. I love the series and hope it will never die out but they need to make it great. Dynasty warriors 9 is probably the worst yet.
bro u made Raiden? sick 👍👍
I was excited for the custom characters was really disappointed with that
ok everyone with me, here is a solution to fix atleast the crashes and laggs and lonnnnng load screens. Call xbox live, ask them to talk to a supervisor, tell the supervisor that a broken game has been release on xbox and everytime we call the support team they curse us out and hang up the phone. If we can send in atleast 5000 calls on that, microsoft will look into it and make them fix the game. Then do what I did for a refund, call your bank and tell them you were sold broken product and the people who sold it refuse to fix it. Your bank will ask you to 3 way them, the idiots hung up on my bank immediately, money was returned to my account and chase bank sued the bastards. It probably happened to them tons of times already which is likely why they are so angry and stopped trying to give us fixes patches updates and dlc for a new game
Bro played the demo on invasion and this is just a gettin jumped simulate. Three of them dudes on me and the same time.
May I ask,though...which "Empires" could you recommend?..
7, but 8 is still very good
@@KCZ20 Thanks!..🙂🙏
Year later and not the video creator but I also agree with him. 7 Empires is great but 8 Empires is also very solid.
@@sora8711 I appreciate it,man!..🙂👍
I don't like 9 either the empires 8 have my assassinations and raids. And 9 doesn't have free mode like 8 empires
I know this a old video but is this a worth a buy?
@@keelanrichardson820 for less than 40 bucks yeah
Does it have extreme legends? Or only empires?
Just Empires.
I believe Xtreme Legends is discontinued ever since Koei Tecmo lost a lawsuit against against capcom for add on disc expansions.
Since dw7, dynasty warrior is not dynasty warrior again
The flaws are all subjective. The game is far from just okay tbh. Its a good game but youre right about it not being great. The combat feels amazing, you can use different weapons which helps alleviate some of the repetitive grind, but overall its the dynasty warriors people really like.
As for the price, i think the price is alright, but then again, i can afford it. I guess if youre tight on budget and is not in a good place financially, the price is a lil bit expensive.
Dynasty Warriors 9 is better the empire. Now before this video old and everyone goes off on me just listen and let me right y’all wrong. 9 Empire is a good but listen why tf I gonna get artifacts on hard or chaos. While 9 got craft, fishing, all item, and more. Dynasty Warriors 9 empire is to capture a base that it. And yes I like English dub so what if y’all don’t like it switch to Japanese and Chinese or go back and play Dynasty Warriors 8 instead. Look Dynasty Warriors 9 is still cool and I like open world.
End of story
I completely agree with everything I own 9 and 9 empires. I have been playing dynasty warrior since the very first one and it seems like since 6 it's going downhill Don't get me wrong All of them have a lot of good things going with them. 9 and 9 empires damn these both could have been absolutely amazing but they f***** up hard😢
This game has content worth of 20 dollars max . 60 is a cash grab with this low amount of efforts being put into, just sell your damn franchise Koei somebody will make it better
My biggest complaint about this game that I can't give a pass at all, is whoever calls this game pretty I must feel has never played like any other game ever, this game is not pretty, it's bland, it's lifeless, it's empty, Just play samurai warriors five, and each map feels unique and has a lot of life and characteristics, the irony is samurais warriors maps are far from perfect and in many way feel super linear in strategical options. And despite all the flaws Sam five has, it basically feels like a masterpiece in map creation in comparsion to the emptiness of dynasty warriors 9.
I would of much prefered a samller world, with more life, then a large world with no life
Sort of fell out with change in voice acting from the previous games.
The game became wack af after 4, why? Because there was just too much going on, like for example 7 n 8, cmon man, characters where flying back n forth, its like wth, how is this fun. It made no sense at all. If every character didnt share the same vombos, with just a hint of powers to make them unique, i feel it will make the game more interesting, amd the weapon swaping thing is a horrible idea, because it doesnt allow you to stuggle to learn that character and her/ his uniqueness, like back then. With weapom swap everyone is lubu, makes no sense. I remember playing 3 n 4 amd having to struggle with the bow. 5 i kinda like tge extension of the add on combos for the regular attacks. That was nice. Made some characters who were useless more useful. Anyways the new changes as in weapons like heaven earth and etc. Made no sense. I also missed the hunting for your legendary weapon, that was awesome. Also the body gaurd system.
-imo the best thing in the franchise is slow it down, make the game more challenging without making every boss a sponge.
-add dodges, blocks, counterblocks, amd etc.. to make it a little more based on skills, just like 3 n 4 , also add on air combos.
-improve the character creation and body gaurd charater creation.
-allow moves set up for gaurds amf character creation, for example, if you like zhao yun, and machao, you can add moves between each of them, for like there charge attacks, and musous. And for the gaurds also, this will alllow you to have gaurds to have lifts to allow more air combos.
There so much more.
-outfits can be added on to real officers too.
To make the game a hunt and grind to make your officer looks the way you want. It will increase gameplay time and make it more rewarding, and makes those have certain elemnts that helps out the character, and also be avle to swap the looks, between them, so if you have a bad looking gear, bit good effects, you can swap the looks.
There just so much i cam go on amd on. And these stuff arent new to koei, they have down similar stuff like this with current releases of games they have created...
Like nioh 2 etc..
-add back in the item systems. Also add back in the legendary effects of the last weapon to make your character feel more unique.
-take out all the weird characters that make no sense, like wth have a gun back then? Or who the heck uses a boat to fight, a scroll to summon ppl to fight for u, etc... and the 2 flying sword guy in shu, etc.. wth are they even in there, it makes no sense.
-i do like how they made sun jian 100x better than he was in 345, thats a plus. Thats what i want in a game. To buff characters and make each character to feel unique, and solid. Sun jiam is the perfect example.
-zhao yun in 8 was also a good change, but his flying attacks was a bit too much imo.
The game should feel balance between the characters, none should feel out of place.
-Everyone should have a lift, aoe, a stun, to set something up.
-add back in the solo duels between players and cpu.
-allow for the clunky funny add on dialouge, it makes the game fun to play to see what the response will be for every character.
Imo this makws it so you get to see ur chacter or officer its rewarding imo, to see a different response every chacter like dw3 lmao..
There just so muvh more...
-Amd they need to make guan yu better. He suppose to be the god of war, yet he gets bested by almost every pfficer becuase hes slow and weak.. smh.. lol so muvh more. I can go on n on.
If ya agree give a thumbs up or reply in the comments below, i was a really big fan of the franchise and i would love to hear your opinions too. Together we might be able to convinve koei to really reconsider this open world bs and bring back a game we use to love.
Wait-
The AI is actually competent in DW9 Empires?
Only the unique officers from my experience
Bought the game for a fair price. I find it fun. Regardless of the annoying parts. Can wait for DW 9 empires to be on sale.
DW9E is a big letdown and iam glad ihavent picked it up... my main reason is the absence of both Online and Offline coop, dont understand why these features were never even included in the base game, adding to that the lack of support and proper update for optimization sake for players who own next gen consoles.... ialso wanted some more DLC weapons and characters to be decloned but iguess they have plans for DW10 already and we may see the new installment sooner than we think
Awesome review btw
I just hate these new combat systems, the oldschool DW3-DW5 was my favourite.
Warriors oroch 3 is the best one imo that I still play it over WO4
