Who is your favorite warrior? Could be from Dynasty, Samurai, etc.

I started with 3 and picked Jiang Wei kind of out of nowhere. I liked his whole successor of Zhuge Liang shtick even though it was never fully realized. But 4 hit and Zhou Tai was so fucking badass even though him using Iaijutsu didn't make sense.

How was that game? I never really played the spinoff games (not including Warriors Orochi, empires or XL versions)

it's been a while, so i don't remember everything anymore, but i did enjoy it. as per usual they did some things to make it a bit different to the other games, and i think it was the start of them testing the waters to see if they could go open world by making it semi-open world. i did like by the end of the game yukimura was an aboslute powerhouse.

My classic favorite dude, and the first one I ever played as is xiahou dun. When wang yi was first introduced in dynasty warriors 7 xtreme legends, she became my favorite character. I love her thirst for VENGEANCE, her edgy mosou where she straddles a person and stabs them in the chest with her twin trishula weapons, and her having an accompanying edgy music theme (both with vocals and instrumental), lol.



I hate that koie keeps switching her goddamn weapon for some reason.....then they made her a clone in dynasty warriors 9. All the clones in DW9 turned me off of the series.

Dynasty Warriors 3 was the best one. It had the most unique stages and events. For example, DW4 re-used maps and different portions of maps for different battles. DW3 didn't do that

That being said, my guy was Xiahou Dun. Dude was a badass.

Loved 3, 4, 5, and 8.

We don't talk about 9.

They really need to drop one more and go back to how it was in 3-5 those were class.

I've only played a few of them, had a blast playing 2 with a buddy. Xiahou Dun and Guan Yu were the two that got the most play. I remember playing 5 quite a bit, and then 8. I've actually had the itch for a Musou game lately, been looking at Samurai Warriors (which I've never touched). Might give SW4 a try.

Samurai warriors is very good also. But if you'd like a giant assload of characters, I also highly recommend Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. I played WO4 base and it left me kind of wanting...so I don't really know how it's ultimate version improved on it

It's pretty obvious that the best character is Masamune Date. He has guns, has an iconic look(crescent helmet), was an arguably fantastic leader, won his first battle at 14 years old, wore an eyepatch. Dude was an absolute unit. His nickname was also the one eyed dragon.

Date is the best.

Started with DW2 and have been with the series, spin offs and all ever since, they're just fun time killers that also have the benefit of letting me blow off some steam

As for my favorite warrior...definitely a tough call, as there are characters I like from every faction is DW, and SW overall

Dynasty Warriors 5 and Warriors Orochi 3 are my favourites.

Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and Zhang Liao are my favourite warriors. I like the ninja girl in Samurai Warriors and the ladies man with a gun, can't remember the names.

Probably my favourite franchise of games and most played

Ding Feng in 8, he has an actually unique gimmick based on properly timing your button presses to get the most out of his charge attacks, and I always find his horrible attempts at poetry endearing.

Deng Ai is a close second, his entire gimmick is that he doesn't give a single FUCK if you're guarding, he'll just casually break through it with his spinning lance thing.

Deng Ai is a cool dude. Looks very brutish but historically wasn't he the one that kept outsmarting Jiang Wei? Been a while since I brushed up on my RoTK lol

Yeah, Deng Ai owned Jiang Wei so hard so repeatedly Shu collapsed actually it was a lot more complicated, but Deng Ai showing up was how most of Jiang Wei's Northern Campaigns ended.
I have to say that DW7's story modes were probably the best in the series. I particularly loved the Wei one, because it dealt really well with the idea of frustrated ambition.

DW8, of course, introduced hypothetical paths that allow each kingdom to actually win(like they did before). These are usually ahistorical in a really dumb but cool way, which is just perfect for this series. They also tend to feature music from older games: either as is, or remixed. Some of the best-used examples (IMO)...
Wei Hypothetical Battle of Chi Bi(Thousand Suns 7th Mix) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA8SACCF1fM&t=1426s
DW6 Gain Momentum(Wu Hypothetical - Battle of He Fei 2. Theme 1 is DW5's Great Red Spirit) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5KufLrLHIM
DW3 Endless Fight(Wu Hypothetical- Battle of Shou Chun)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17unozh9GXY
DW3 Against All Odds(Shu Chang Ban)(Wei Hypothetical- Pursuit at Nanjun)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMaTTSySEaM
Wei Hypothetical Battle of Bai Di Castle(King of Sadness 7th Mix) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKILgBwsEoI The DW5 version was really good, but this one burns it out of the water like a VICTORY FOR WUUUUUUUUUUUU

I only played a few DWs, 5 and 7/8 or something, but I played DW5 the most. I can't bother with Musuo games nowadays, though -- the interest just isn't there and killing millions of worthless mooks has lost its appeal. My fave dude was probably Cao Ren, especially when he's shooting projectiles (!?) from his shield like Megaman.

I remember renting DW3 from Blockbuster with my cousin and thought the game looked kind of dumb. How wrong I was. I think my first character was Zhang Fei but my favorite is probably Xiahou Dun.

Don't pursue Lu Bu

What I really hope for DW10 is age options for character costumes. Also implement Liao fucking Hua in Shu because dude was literally there from it's rise to it's fall, so the age option thing would be great for him.

Ha I was thinking of posting Circuit. Don't know why but I liked that song too.

I also liked the theme that was played when you finish story mode. The theme that plays when it's retelling the story mode, right before they start to play Circuit.
