Koei Tecmo announced the release of the Omega Froce-developed action title Dynasty Warriors 9 Complete, available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC-via Steam.
Dynasty Warriors has been around for two decades and has more than enough games to prove it.
Phil writes, "There's little that hurts a gamer more than hearing that a sequel to one of their favorite games is coming out, it releases, and it turns out to be a dud. It's happened to the best of us. It's like having the rug pulled out from under you when a sequel you've been hyping based off of love for its predecessor does less than satisfy when it finally launches. Sometimes it's due to the formula being changed too much and not for the better. Other times it's because the game is missing what made the original so good.
Whatever the reasons may be, SPC is back with a look at six more disappointing video game sequels that failed to deliver or failed to satisfy for one reason or another."
Today’s issue of Weekly Famitsu included an interview with Dynasty Warriors producer Akihiro Suzuki, who talked about the future of the series.
I just hope they learned their lessons from DW9. The open world feature was personally unnecessary.
I've never been so mad at a video game before in my life. I fucking hate this game with a deep, deep passion. I was so mad at how bad it turned out. People who aren't fans might say "oh, it's Dynasty Warriors what do you expect?" But man you really don't understand if you don't play the games. I'm telling you, as a really fucking passionate DW fan for 20 years, this game hurt me. It's just so awful in every single way. They completely got lazy with every aspect. The voice acting for English is so abysmal that it completely ruins every interaction. The open world is the ABSOLUTE WORST, and the laziest most pathetic attempt at making an open world I have ever seen. The shoe horned crafting system is garbage. I mean just every single thing is so bad. Fuck DW9 and the stain it left on the series. They better not fucking keep this style for whatever comes next, because hell no. The series will die. Just keep improving and iterating on the style we all love, I beg you. And one more thing, fuck DW9.
