Dynasty Warriors 6 Famitsu scans. Hey, it's been a while since I mentioned it photo

I figure I'm allowed to talk about Dynasty Warriors 6 again since it's been a good while since I last mentioned the game series you love to hate. Koei Warriors has two new scans from Famitsu magazine showing off a slew of screenshots and concept art. Some we've seen before, but of interest to fans is the new artwork detailing Guan Yu, Sun Shang Xiang and Dian Wei. I'm digging the new ball and chain look.

Dynasty Warriors makes me happy in my pants, and there's absolutely nothing any of you can do about it. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go practice my thumb for all that mindless button tapping I shall soon be doing.

I would just type "Why???" a thousand times but once should do it.

Why??? It'll be the same battles you've played before. Even if the environments are new, It'll be the same battle you've played in the thousand other Dynasty Warriors. Try a NEW IP Koei.

"Why???"

Because it is the single greatest game ever made. I know this before I've even played it, somehow.

Jim - You're saying this will eclipse the DW/SW crossover game?

Big words.

"Why?" Because Lu Bu demanded it, and nobody says 'No' to Lu Bu.

Jim, I can't believe you typed that. Are you sure? Out of ALL of the games out and are coming out, you choose DW? Explain that for me.

Does the gameplay still consist of hitting one button over and over again to win?

Whoa...not sure how I feel about Guan Yu with short hair, but okay. I'm down.

Ball and chain could have been given to Xu Zhu, but whatever! It's all good.

Fuuuuuck yeah. I love how they are all finally getting redesigns, and sometimes new weapons even. If only I had a PS3...

Also is that Sun Shang Xiang with a bow as a main weapon now? Or someone new?

For me anyway, Dynasty Warriors has always gone thusly:

1. Watch opening
2. Press X 20,000 times (or whatever button it was for the generic combo on it's respective system)
3. Watch ending

The first 2,000 or so presses were always awesome, but I got bored after that.

I don't mind the series, I just hope they try to at least touch up the combat.

Agreed Seraph. It wouldn't hurt for them to make the game a little more inventive instead of adding something new every 3-4 sequels. Oh wait, maybe they would if people stopped buying it.

Wait, why are people saying they need a PS3? Isn't this coming to the 360 also?

Man, best game ever made. Fuck, best form of entertainment, including plays and books and things, ever.

I'm with Jim on this one :)

Oh, and Deathsaw, no matter what tweaks and settings you have, or what players come and go, every Madden is still Football. Every NHL game is still hockey, etc. DW has more in common with sports games than other franchises. Think of it like that, updating the roster, tweaking gameplay settings, changing things here and there, but basically the same experience. People enjoy ROTK. They enjoy Dynasty Warriors, especially in Japan. This is enough for us.
