This thread is being created solely because of all the hate coming at DW6. That said, I'm not gonna be biased here, but try to articulate why this is cleary a bigger waste of money than DW6.

1. Yeah there's 90+ characters, but if you bought WO 80+ of them are going to be EXACTLY the same. Same moveset, same character design, same everything.

2. You've been playing this game for the past 4-5 years. This is the EXACT same battle system, with the exact same maps from its direct predescors - just that now you have different characters on those maps.

3. These "new" characters aren't new. Let me give you their movesets:

T - some sort of ground pound
ST - a super lame juggling starter
SSTTT - a long chain of attacks with elemental effects on the last hit, this last hit of course having a larger range than the ones before it
SSST - an area attack, spinning or fire or beams or whatever
SSSST - another area attack
SSSSST - an attack very similar to their musou

I'd go through for the samurai warriors but you get my point.


There's nothing fresh here, nothing new. If anything KOEI is robbing its fans blind with THIS game. Not DW6.

one reason you should buy this game is that its out for the PS2 and some people can't afford a PS3 right now so thats one reason to buy it..

Trolling forums a fun hobby, BK? _{this is a fun topic of debate}

DW6 robs fan because it is a failure of next-gen gaming. How is it possible the sixth installment of a series is inferior to the third?

If anything, WO2 is honest. A fan-service compilation strung together by a flimsy and absurd story.

Well, because we don't know all the new features WO2 has, we can't really make an honest opinion. I mean, it was only like a month ago when this was announced that it was coming out in Japan. We don't know what WO2 contains. We only know several new characters and 2 returning ones and several modes, and that is about it. In time, there is going to be a lot more information about it. Maybe, when a lot of information is out, I could make a honest opinion. But, like HBN said, one of the main reasons why I am looking forward to this, is due to the fact that I don't have a PS3, so, therefore, I can't get DW6. Yes, I am looking for something new as well, but, since I can't get it, this is all that I have to look toward. And I also have to agree with SXH.

And BK did his balls in at me because I started a, somewhat negative, thread. Shame on you BurgerKing.

Although I'm kinda biased...not owning a PS3, I still feel that I'm looking forward to playing WO2 more than DW6. Basically I agree with everything SXH says...talk about a good comeback
The 17 musou mode thing and the cutting of characters is simply diabolical!

I'm inclined to agree with almost everything that's been said in this thread in response to the first point.

I'm not arguing against the 'idea' of Warriors Orochi which is basically what you're all countering with.

Warriors Orochi 1 was neccessary and very enjoyable. My main concern is how furious people are at Koei for "milking" the Dynasty Warriors series when the changes made in DW6 far supercede the change made for WO2.

I understand needing to have a PS3/Xbox360 to play DW6 is a problem for people, but that doesn't make the game worse...

I agree that it's good to have a change in DW6, as otherwise the games simply won't develop. These changes as you say are much greater than in WO2. However as far as I can tell so far, all the changes in WO2 are for the better...People are "furious" about DW6 because of the changes that have made the game worse than DW5, the cutting out characters and musou modes being my biggest problems.

I'm sure the new fighting system, and having the characters look and fight differently with different weapons (some of which I dislike intensely but then I'm picky) makes the game a great play. Therefore, I shall look forward to DW7 where the faults should hopefully be removed, allowing the merits of the game to appear much more prominent. DW4 in my opinion dropped in standard after DW3 but it went back up with DW5 so hopefully 6 and 7 will follow the same pattern.

I would definately want to buy this to both have a look at what the plot is and to generally support KOEI
