Kind of a niche question here. Specifically what I'm asking is, what are some games that everyone says are trash but only because they're derivates of earlier entries and they haven't actually progressed the formula in any way - meaning that someone having never played any in the series will still have a very good time.
People trash Far Cry games for this reason, but I just picked up Far Cry 5 having never played any of them and this shit is pretty great.
Dynasty Warriors, another good example. Great fun, no innovation whatsoever.
I think with DW its because I was introduced to it the history and the novel at a relatively young age. I played the orginal nes ROTK. I said who are these people. I went to the Library and picked up the Adbriged Novel. It's been a part of my interests ever since. I'll watch the movies, the series, read the annals ( btw was hard to find and read). I know most if not all the major patcipitants by name if shown. So I'm the kind to get the most enjoyment out of those. I enjoy the he'll out of 9. Yeah it's got issues but it's getting where I think it should go. I would like one where you pick a warlord to serve under but you have to work through the ranks. You can't just grapple hook over a wall. You would get shot even within 100 yards of the gates. I love to see the duels. Guan Yu's early ones are cool. I like the unlocks in 9 but I'd adjust it some. I'd use a currency to unlock the next tier. You shouldn't be able to use The main 3 warlords till way deep in the game after hours and hours. Bring in.some elements of Empires. Drop the regular #titles altogether. Like I said theres more they can do to innovate the series.
