    Finally, a sequel not ENTIRELY just for money-Dynasty warriors 5

    As some of us know, Koei has been kind of going on a sports-game frenzy with the Dynasty Warriors series, in the style of popping out a new game every year. They add three characters and bring in $10 Million.

    I just got it about 6 hours ago. I played it for 50 minutes, took a long nap, and then I just beat Ling Tong's musou.

    And damn it's actually a huge improvement, like an actual sequel


    The framerate doubled, and there's no slowdown whatsoever now.

    Six more characters, an entirely new bodyguard system..and it's like DW3, not 4. Which brings a tear to my eye. A tear of happiness.

    They also added some other fighting features. There's a lot more variation in the characters now, so whereas DW 3/4 might have been like Tobal 1 in a mass war strategy-setting, 5 is like Tekken 3 in a mass war strategy-setting. Each character has unique jump charges(thank god) and the third, fourth, and fifth(some refer to them as fourth, fifth, and sixth(sssc, ssssc, sssssc) have been redone.

    Every character has their own musuo this time, along with a unique ending. And tigers have been added to the game(also availabe as an ally with an item).

    Also, some weird weapon thing was added. The weapons you find(yeah, it's like DW3 there) may randomly have this little swirly thing next to the name. This basically allows nine normal-hit combos, though there are no more charges. So no, there's no ccccccs, but there's ccccccccc.

    And Evolution has been added, which is basically a rare adrenaline rush that you obtain with a rarely dropped item(meat bun type item, not equippable type item). Your attack and speed go crazy and you can do a true musuo regardless of life.

    And in every battle I've been in so far, I've done more than 10 bi-combos with my bodyguard(Yep, you can musuo with them) each time. It's quite fun.

    Koei still hasn't launched off of their lazyasses, but damnit, they did enough this time. Unlike the last three times that I wasted money(4, expack, empires).

    I always thought of Dynasty Warriors as really fun... I only ever played a demo though...

    But in the one I played, your underlings always seemed to be standing around... not doing anything

      Yeah, that was a problem. It's fixed this time around though, especially with generals. I actually left a general alone because I had to go save my commander, and one of my generals took him out in like five seconds as I was galloping away on an unrealistically white steed

        I don't like any game with the word "Dynasty" in it.

              I hated the Dynasty Project games, whoever made those games is a moron.

                  I dig Dynasty Warriors 5.

                  of course I like all of them.

                  But this one is definatly the best.

                    Ok, I just beat Zhuge Liang's musuo mode.

                    Yue Ying, as you know, was A.I. controlled.

                    She got 800 kills.


                    800.



                    800.


                    If you've played the past ones, you had to purposefully follow a general around and weaken the enemies around him for 50 minutes for him to get 100.

                    But I never was even near her on screen.

                    800, I had 1100.

                    800!!!!!

                    Such an incredible improvement

                      After years of the uncommercial Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, I can see why Koei is cranking out its cash cow every year. Not that I've ever played a Dynasty Warriors game. I've played Kingdom Under Fire, and that's as close as I'll get. So let Koei keep producing this game. As long as there are idiots out there dumb enough to keep buying it, maybe they'll keep producing some of their esoteric strategy offerings.

                        I've never played a DW either. I watched my cousin play 4 and later 5 and then I borrowed 5 from him cause it looked fun. I still have it here now, the only thing is the disc it doesn't work anymore. I guess the disc is too scratched up. Oh well.

                          I think DW is a fun series because after you're done your initial playfest, you can just pop it in and kill people for an hour or two.

                            I like DW but I dont buy the sequels until I beat the one I got. It's one of my rules... I've yet to beat DW3...

                              Yes, I agree that this is all very relevant a year and three months after this topic was first posted.
