If you want characters and a sense of character progression, WO3U.

If you want customization and a more random experience, go with DW8E.

If you want a more tech-impressive game (like framerate, amounts of enemies, etc.), go with SW4

It compares very favorably. Main draws are the much bigger roster (with unique move sets) and ability to switch between 3 different characters during a battle. Weird crossover story is hit or miss but I found it more interesting than the reshashed Three Kingdoms or Sengoku era storylines. DW8:XL has way better weapon customization and the neat distraction of Ambition mode, but WO3:U is as good as or better in most other ways.

That said, I think Samurai Warriors 4 is the best Musuo game on PS4. It's the most technically impressive, has a new type of attack in addition to Light and Strong called "Hyper" attacks that are tons of fun to mow down the cannon fodder soldiers with, and Chronicles Mode lets you make a custom officer which the other 2 games don't let you do.

Of course, $23.99 with GCU for Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is a no-brainer if you like Musou games and wanna wait for SW4 to drop in price.

thanks! think I'll give it a shot :)


 
Yeah I can't speak for DW8 (rented it but only played it a bit) or WO3 (own it on Vita thanks to that trick a few months ago but haven't played it lol), but I played the  fuck out of SW4 and enjoyed it immensely.

I was considering getting WO3 on PS4 myself a week or so ago when it was $30 on Amazon but it doesn't have a create-a-character mode like SW4 (as far as I know) and that was a big part of the fun of SW4 for me.

 
If you never played a game like this before, they released a free version of Dynasty Warriors 8 on PS4. Try it out and see if you like it.

 
I picked it up. I like to get these when they are under $20 and I had a $5 reward zone.

They seem to hit a $20 clearance price and then go back up to $30-40 for used copies when the new ones sell out.

They are mindless fun and good to zone into sometimes.
 
Will easily buy this at $15ish. I own the original PS3 digital and it' a great game. Fun though the story is kind of meh. So many of these games are replaceable though.

That's the thing about Dynasty Warriors/KOEI games they actually take a while to drop. I know gamestop had DW 8:XL complete for PS4 for sale for $19.99 a few months back and gamefly had it on sale for $15 last wk or so.

It's a gamble on if bestbuy will have more in stock after this clearance price. You may be able to add it to cart but, the shipping option won't be available, meaning OOS!

Went ahead and jumped on this since I didn't wanna risk it being OOS. Next one I want to get is definitely Samurai Warriors 4. 

 
I purchased this 2 weeks ago for 32. I wonder if bb will price adjust?

For those thinking of getting SW4 keep in mind SW4-II is probably coming to steam.
