Warriors Orochi 3 intro video revels in archetypes
Here's the introduction video for the upcoming Warriors Orochi 3 (branded Musou Orochi 2 in Japan). It's crammed full of characters from Tecmo Koei games, although it does seem to highlight just how badly the Warriors games rely on archetypes. The characters have all been grouped together depending on what stereotypical roles they fill, so you've got a shot of the "noble warrior heroes" all fighting together, a shot of the "big heavy idiots" stomping around, and a shot of the "females with no personality" holding hands and skipping over a fireball. Anyone who plays these games knows just how one-dimensional the characters are, but this video -- epic as it is -- certainly hammers the point home. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I am dissapoint that all that the badass duo of Tadakatsu Honda and Lu Bu does is stand back to back and pose...they could have been drinking Pepsi Max!! Do you grab this stuff from KoeiWarriors? =/ I don't see you credit them a lot. If you don't, then ignore me. They usually have this stuff up just a tad before you though. Ryan: I actually credit KW quite a bit. I'm obviously a fan of theirs. The vids, I just upload from Youtubes. When it comes to screens, I'll either be crediting andriasang or KW, depending on who got 'em first. Ah. I figured you did. I guess I'm just feeling confrontational after getting that call from GameStop :(! their characters might be stereotypes, but the game is addictive like crack to enough people that koei is willing to keep releasing a warriors game every few months just for the addicts. The shallow characters are part of the appeal to me anyway. I'll take 'the gay one', 'the slag', 'the evil politician' and 'the old guy', please. But then you play, realise it's freakin' awesome, and stop caring about the archetypes =D All we need now is a release date in the UK/USA. Though I'm importing this with my christmas money anyways lol I liked Dynasty warriors 3 and 4.
What is Warriors Orochi? Is it Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors combined? I don't really think I get it. Sigh, still need to unlock the last guy in Orochi 2. Though currently playing other games(Skyrim, minecraft for example), I hope I can somehow manage to get it done before this hits the shelves. 8:30 AM on 05.21.2013 Don't panic!

12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?
