Why do people like Dynasty Warriors so much?

From the article, "In the world of video games, we tend to be very critical of sequels that don’t evolve over time. It’s not enough to add a few different gameplay mechanics and slap a different number on the box. We want new experiences that will justify our $60 payment. But for some reason, the same rules don’t seem to apply to Dynasty Warriors. In many ways, things haven’t changed all that much since Dynasty Warriors 3 came onto the scene in 2001. So what is it about Dynasty Warriors that continues to keep us interested even though each iteration doesn’t bring a lot of new elements to the table?"

because you can pick any character and mindlessly kill millions of soldiers. I can't believe people would use this game as the cause of the Connecticut Shooting.

CoD rarely changes over time but reviewers praise that game like its the greatest of all.

I guess shooters get a slap on a wrist while anything outside that genre gets hell.

Both games are stupid. I stopped playing DW after the fourth one.

DW4 was the only one I played. I've been thinking of picking up DW8 since its been a while and the game obviously has to have had evolved a lot over the past 10 years

each iteration of this franchise only sells 300,000 at most with all the territories combined, so is actually a few people who like it. I once tried to get into it but I just couldn't.
