Can't wait to play this entry!

It is the worst main entry Dynasty Warriors.

Completely disagree with that. The open world is a massive improvement. Sure, it brought issues with it, but in terms of immersing you in what feels like an actual dynamic war, it does wonders.

In this it actually does better than most open world games out there, in which the dynamic element is more limited or actually missing.

And I completely disagree with you. All of the characters feel homogenous, gone are the eccentricity of all the characters, the unique weapons are all gone (90%). The maps are now disgustingly huge and it feels like you are just throttling through empty space. Some of the most epic battles are now reduced to god awful sidequests. All this does is just make you want to go to the final boss as fast as possible, there are a few instances where they programmed for this not to happen, but it is just epic boring. Oh and sieges are pointless, just climb the damn wall and kill your objective.

didn't Jim Sterling completely destroyed this game?

Showing cherry-picked instances that really don't represent it, like the controversy-monger he is.

Lionalliance2289d ago

You do realize that he is a very hardcore Dynasty Warriors fan right?

Abriael2289d ago (Edited 2289d ago )

@Lionalliance: and "very hardcore fans" tend to be angry at change. Add to that the fact that Jim Sterling basically lives on stirring controversy, and you got this result. Having played the game extensively, it's evident that the footage he selected is cherry-picked to make a misleading point and incite rage.

The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels - Part Seven

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."

I just hope they learned their lessons from DW9. The open world feature was personally unnecessary.

I bought dw9 specifically because it was open world
