  • Wonder has the ability to do Eigi (shadow dash) technique
  • New Actions include: (available for every characters)
  • Dash Chain - smooth transition from dash attack to normal/charge attack
  • Break Guard - press square before enemy attack hits will activate counter attack that blow enemies away
  • Support Attack - Returning action from WO2. Here it has a chance of happening which gets higher the better the relations between those characters are
  • Switch Combo - Time the switch with an attack to activate. It consumes Musou gauge
  • True Triple Attack - When Combination gauge is filled up, press R2+L2 to activate. When True Triple Attack (TTA) is activated, the other characters will also appear and attack the enemy. Character switch during TTA is also possible. All enemies beaten with TTA will definitely drop items. TTA finishes with a huge explosion

Just like every other game in the series, going in day one. lol

Would be great if this is more DW7 based (with the varied map types, including the "arenas" and such)

Still wish 360 users had have gotten Troy / DW7XL though.
 
Nice. Didn't know Ayane & Ryu were in the game. I had some credit at amazon and ordered this earlier this morning instead of Silent Hill HD. :D
 
I'm getting hyped. I need a good DW game to mindlessly chug away at. I barely touched the Samurai Warriors games so I'm looking forward to try some of their characters.
 
Get hype!

Don't forget to mention the disc release is a 360 exclusive. The PS3 will not see a disc release because there's no dub. Thanks Sony!
 
I prefer the English dub, blasphemy :shock: I know. But it's actually not that bad, but that's not the reason why I like it. Ever since DW6 Ling Tong has been my favorite character. When he beats an enemy officer he says "Wow, somebody even lazier than I am." He'd say it like 10 times per battle, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. My wife started making fun of it, since it was starting to get annoying, even for me. And while he doesn't say it as much it's been in each game since then. It's become an inside joke between me and my wife. She still hates DW games, but we both laugh when we hear it. Hopefully that quote stays intact.
 
That's cool. I have high expectations for Warriors Orochi 3 because imho Warriors Orochi 2 was the best Dynasty Warriors game I ever played. I probably won't pick this up because I'm working on the backlog of doom, but if theres ever a steep price drop I'll probably pick it up. Especially after getting $30+ for part 2.
 
Picked up my copy. Had a hard time locating one but then I wised up and used Gamestops website to find a copy. Can't wait to play after my daughter goes to bed.
 
yeah looks like low distribution right now. Amazon went right to "ships in 2-3 weeks" and local Gamestop people didn't know what was coming in until it was in. Got mine today though. And the Papa Johns right next to the Gamestop is doing a local promo, 2 large pizzas for $12. Today is a good day.
 
So many characters, it's hard to choose. Having a blast trying all the Samurai Warrior characters. Zhang Liao is still ridiculously over powered.

Haven't played online yet, but I hear you can only play levels you already beat. Kinda sucks, but if you need to grind it's something.
 
so, really happy with this one.

Think the online thing would probably benefit you more for banging out the levels on Chaos. There's an ach for beating all boards on chaos, some of which would be 10x easier with a partner.
 
Online is defiantly for grinding or harder levels. It's not very well done, I wish it was more like the conquest mode in DW7. Booting you out after every mission is a pain, a lobby would've been nice. But at least it's there, so I can't complain much.

I plan on beating the story, then going back with a friend and tackling it on hard.

Pretty much unlocked all my favs. Only Dong Zhou left.
 
yeah it seems like Omega Team will work on a feature and it will take a step back. Online wise, DW Strikeforce had a decent setup without all the flaws that are in WO3.

The map edit mode is kind've dissapointing too. Was hoping for a blank map and you freely place generals. What's in it now is basically nothing. Hopefully it's something they are working on for the next game, I'd love to see it expanded.
 
The map editing is convoluted and a pain in the ass. Don't think I'll be touching it at all. Like you said a blank map would've been better.

Besides that the game is great mindless hack n' slash fun. I haven't had too much time playing but I'm able to squeeze in a few hours at night.

I got lucky with Achilles' best weapon. Right after unlocking him I used a lottery ticket and got it. He just murders everything now.

Right now my favs are: Ling Tong, Zhang Liao, Saika Magoichi (guy with the rifle/bayonet), Fukushima Masanori (punk looking guy with a club), Shuten-Doji & Achilles. Still waiting to unlock Dong Zhou, Sun Wukong and the banjo playing guy from Samurai Warriors. I hear Susano-o is badass. Anyone use him yet?
 
Beat this a few nights ago and unlocked all the characters. I'm giving it a rest for now but I expect to be playing this all year long.
 
some of the weapon attachments make basically any character way powerful.

Which is good. Even though certain characters are better than others, you can pretty much play as anyone if you get the right things on your weapon. In the older games, good luck trying to play at least half of the roster on Chaos, it just wasn't happening.

You can pretty much pick who you want for Chaos.
 
I got my proficiency up with Da Ji (Boost EXP) and Dodomeki (Boost proficiency) Then I was using level 1 characters on an early stage in easy. By the end of the stage they were level 14 with a proficiency of "C"
