So final verdict: better than WO2 or way worse than WO2?
Regrettably WO2 is one of the few games I've actually entirely missed playing, so I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I'd say it's definitively better than previous Dynasty Warriors games, but that's all I can say.
The best part of the game is.....the officer named Dong Tuna.
And apparently, there is a guy named He Man in the game too, who I haven't come across yet.
But yeah, Dong Tuna. :jess:
That officer used to be named Dong Tu Ne. Pronounced exactly the dirty way it sounds.
Speaking of which. That kind of stuff is happening to tons of the main characters. Throughout the series they've been slowly correcting the spelling and pronunciation mistakes they've made in the past. And while I have no idea how some of that stuff is supposed to be pronounced. I imagine this one comes the closest to how things are supposed to be spelled and pronounced. Even still, it drives my girlfriend nuts sometimes with the things they've change. The one guy called Taishi chi or whatever, they say the Tai Shi part just like it looks like it should be pronounced. But the Chi has always been pronounced just like it looks as well; until this game. Where they give it a heavy SUH instead. Taishi SUH! Every chance they get. You can tell its not natural for them to say either. But they're trying. You may either respect the effort, or be grated by the changes
It looks cool and I'll probably give a shot one day, but the reason why I liked Dynasty Warriors was that it was based on a piece of history that I became obsessed with. It inspired me to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, study ancient Chinese history and watch hundred of hours of movies and tv shows covering this time period. I had once created my own Three Kingdoms portfolio of notes on characters and battles...it really sparked my interest for a long long time. The games were fun too, although I pretty much lost interest around DW 5 I am meaning to pick up DW8 one of these days. I'm sure hack and slash gamer fans will love Link running around tearing up a battlefield, but I'm not in a hurry to get it the day it comes out.
