Dynasty Warriors

[Yousef Yousef]

My understanding is thst Kessen uses Japan as a setting. Is that it?

Short answer: yes

Lmao the voice acting always killed me.

I love Kessen!! Check out Dynasty Tactics, might be up your alley if you like Kessen!

I'll have to give it a look, I like when their games feature more strategy and less mindless ass whooping

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest cutscene produced on a ps2 machine.

I assure you, I hated myself after typing that. Nothing but terrible humor from me.

dynasty warriors guide?

talking about guide, how did people who wrote those PS2 guides know how to unlock unique weapons/items? The requirements are very specific and unlike the modern games, earlier titles don't have in-game guides so i always wondering how they knew about them.

Back in the day you mean? In japan they were often written in collaboration with the developers, in the west they usually got a beta months before release

Many speedrunners learned stuff they never figured out simply because they actually learned japanese and it was in the jap guide (like hp and damage values, techcical stuff and stricks)

I had no idea there were so many gundam ones but that crossover definitely makes sense for Japan lol. I really enjoy hyrule warriors and fire emblem warriors

Some of my fondest memories are of a giant storm knocking out the power in our town for about 2 weeks. We ended up staying at our grandma's house during that time, and my uncle that I always played games with was still living there.

We got Dynasty Warriors 7 Xtreme Legends and Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Powered through SO4 in 3-4 days and spent the rest of that time in the challenge mode of DW7XL trying to push higher and higher on the co-op leaderboards. We ended up hitting top 50 in most of the challenges, it was such an exhilarating feeling!

Its still my fav DW game for the bias of those memories alone though I also adore DW4 and DW8XL. As far as the spin-offs go I loved Hyrule and Fire Emblem Warriors and have wanted to try the Gundam ones our for a hot minute. HnK one was solid and what little I've played of the Berserk one was great!

Has anyone tried the Dragon Quest ones? Also really wanna try an Empires game someday.

 

[RageBurner]

I mentioned it in a different thread, but my favorite flavors are Berserk and the Band of the Hawk and possibly HnK - Ken's Rage 2.

I've only played Dynasty Warriors 2 to any extensive amount mostly because I was interested on early PS2 titles

Had DW2 when ps2 launched, it was mind blowing how much fun it was for the time. I lost interest after DW4, though :( I would say DW3 is my favorite and I will randomly pickup and play to this day.

It’s fun. Emulate or play ps2 though, ps3 ver has less content if I remember correctly. Ps2 is the “updated” ver with more content. Same with dynasty warriors 6.
There’s a lot of stuff to do. So many characters to befriend. It’s a fantastic love letter to the franchise.

I've played a bit of DW Gundam back in the PS2 at a friend's place, and really liked it. A couple of years ago I played DW7 on Steam and also really liked it, there was still a couple of story modes I haven't finished there. Also got 8 and 4 set aside for playing later, and I hear that the new one, Origins, is a good return to form for the franchise, that had been wobbling since 9.

Since this thread put me in the DW mood and you posted that, I decided to try it just now and I am hyped playing it as a gundam fan, this would have blown my mind as a kid! But worried I am in for some frustration...

This huge asshole just kept stepping on me! Took me forever to clear this training level and you have infinite health! I'm worried I'm gonna get obliterated when shit gets real :( I must be doing something wrong...

I feel like I should like Dynasty Warriors, but the few times I've tried one of them out it's never really hooked me or anything. Maybe I haven't tried the right one. Are the PS2 ones a good place to start?

I guess. I keep hearing DW4 is one of the best ones in the series so you should probably try that one if emulating is your choice. DW7 and 8 are also very very good.
