Same here. I've never been interested in either, really. But to each their own, I could see how some people would consider this a cool mash up or whatnot.

There's also that game where you have a piloting set in front of you and apparently you'll be stuck reading the manual for hours to try and get that stuff. Theb you're pitted into the cockpit of your mech.

you're talking about the game Steel Battalion it was an Original Xbox game that had a 40 button controller and 3 foot pedals for driving the mech. It was a first person view from inside the cockpit with the hud being all the controls and monitors like fuel, weapons, armor, etc. a friend of mine bought it. played 3 times for a very short amount of time because it was tough to control and that was it. cool concept though.

I agree with you.

They BROKE the franchise.

But...sadly, the game they made, while NOT nearly as awesome as the first 2 fallout, was a decent game in it's own. If only for liberty prime's few lines. In itself, it's a good game, but not a good fallout.


As for you bryan. LAME. you're reviewing a dynasty warrior game. don't ever expect much more than 2-3 button gameplay. They've been built over this simple process, and while it gets boring fast, it WORKS. they sell enought to continue and make profit.

I agree change in gaming is fun, but recently, I've come to hate it.

Ff was good early then sucked. Ea buying westwood = end of C&C.

Many other exemple could be said... Change = bad*


*except when a game DID suck before, and its actualy improoving, :P.

It's a good game for sure, but it was one of the farthest thing from a third person shooter there is. No one should ever play it in third person. That was the issue I had with his statement.

Provided they do it right. MS Gundam Crossfire has an aiming mode which is essentially FPS, but the game isn't exactly good.

Somewhat like an FPS. Its actually one of the best damn Gundam Games I've played, and I've played a lot. You aren't in some uber-mech Gundam, but you get a fair selection of different mobile suits as you go through the game, and it features destructable body parts that effect the enemy.
Blow off the head? Disables camera systems so they can't see.
Blow off their gun-arm? Lose their guns, and have to fight with the melee weapon.
Do both? Hilarity ensues as Zaku II runs around in circles blindly swinging his axe.

Correction: Could have been an awesome game.
I remember that I hated the controls. Wasn´t the analog stick for aiming, and the d-pad for walking?
That might work if I have two left thumbs...

Did you ever try Zone of the Enders 2?  Out of all the mech games (that you can get outside of Japan) I've seen it's the one with the fewest birth defects.

I have the same feeling.  As it turns out there's this one mech game called A.C.E. Another Century's Episode R for the PS3.  It takes all the robots from series' like  Z Gundam, Gundam Seed Destiny, Code Geass, Full Metal Panic, Macross, and several other I didn't know existed.  All flying around blowing stuff upt and fighting giant battles in the mecha anime style I like to see.  The catch, it's only avalable in Japan. :(

Well, there is importing.

And the other ACE games should be noted. I can vouch for ACE 2 on the PS2.

Being a Warriors fan AND a FotNS fan, I totally agree about Ken's Rage.  Overall, a great game in my opinion.

I also liked DW: Gundam 1, but I haven't gotten a chance to pick up 2, but 3 looks pretty damn awesome to me.

As for the "mindless button mashing", It's like no one figures out that you can pull off combos by alternating X and Y/square and triangle.  A lot of people don't realize is that once you turn up the difficulty, simply "mashing" X or square will not get you anywhere, but hey, I like the games so I guess it shouldn't bother me if there's haters out there.

Exactly... They actually NERFED buttonmashing by ALTERING the pace of Hokuto Musou to prevent people from just plain spaming. they did it by turing it into a more deliberate pace to highten the impact of your blows. you STILL CAN rapid fire button mash... however if you do... odd are everything but your first attack will miss as a result of timing switchups... And Towards the end of the game you REALLY have to practice your moves and style... because you will find yourself FORCED to have to constantly perform jump & dodge/dash cancels and area specials and counters while for crowd control... ESP when fighitng bosses... DEAR GOD it becomes Cancel Dodge, Counter, & Exploit CITY! Thats even on the EASY settings...

PS: RAOH WILL RAPE YOU NO MATTER WHAT SETTING YOU ARE ON!

Oh, indeed.  The "mashing X" combo does a minimal amount of damage in almost every situation.

I also remember the final battle with Raoh in Kenshiro's story....wow was that frustrating. Basically a one hit kill if he directly hits you.

I'm a big fan of the DW franchise.  3 was one of, if not the best IMO.  5 and 6 were pretty good as well; 7 was just kind of meh.

It could be stress relief or just being able to turn off your brain as you play, but the games' simplicity doesn't bother me like it would in any other game.

I'll be picking it up as well. I am not a fan of dynasty warriors but am a fan of the Gundam anime series and when I borrowed Dynasty warriors gundam 2 from my friend I had a blast. I found it really fun. Something about kicking ass in my favorite gundam is fun. Adding Deathscythe, Heavy arms, Tallgeese 2(wish it was 3 but I guess Milliardo just has to stick with Epyon), Gundam 00, Unicorn and Sinanju just really makes me want to play it. (^_^)

The only experience I have the the DW series is a few of their demos, and out of all of them Dynasty Warriors Gundam 1 was the only I liked so much I still have it on my hard drive.  I'm not sure about picking it up, renting it, or just getting the first one for peanuts.  But then again the older ones don't have Deathscythe or 00 Riser...

I'm on the other side of the Fence. I felt that a lot of the new features/additions in the second game were too forced and took out quite a bit from the experience. Plus the two Musha Gundams aren't sentient anymore, which really helped in killing my interest for the second.

I'm still in the opinion that the first Gundam Musou (YES, I use Japanese Sales names. Because that's how I roll) is better than the second.
