I have really lost fate in the Warriors franchise as of late, but your content both here and on your rare weapons channel, remind me why I loved the franchise in the first place. Here's to hoping a return to greatness for the games in the near future.
Thanks. Tbh I don't think the (DW) games will ever be good again, they're really disconnected from the fans. Kind of wish Koei would be bought by someone that gives a toss like Nintendo
dw9 sucked, but ive been getting into the franchise alot recently by playing sw4 and spirit of sanada for the first time. Spirit of sanada has quickly turned into one of my most favourite games of all time.
Oh, great, I feel like I needed a video like this one for some reason. Looking forward to seeing more from you! Also, a very well-deserved shout out to DjMo12, the guy is insane.
Honestly it’s a little hard for me to get into the newer Warriors games. Don’t get me wrong they are good but it’s just WAY too easy now. I remember when getting 1000 meant something now you can get 1000 kills in a single combo. 😔
@@shadowandroid1823 I disagree, difficulty now is a damage sponge boss with 1 shot ability. Back in the day it was smarter ai for the enemies and they actually thought well. Peons also mattered atleast in DW2 and DW3 as they were quite strong and smart and would interrupt your combos on officers if you positioned yourself poorly. I find the difficulty of the older games to be more fair and more skill reliant if you make it or not. I much more prefer a intense battle with smart ai than piss poor ai damage sponges with 1 shot abilities. Of course not everything was perfect in the older games either but i think especially DW3 has a great difficulty balance as even with everything maxed Very hard on XL will be hard on the hardest maps like Wu Zhang Plains or He Fei Castle
@@relentlessgaming6009 You're delusional and probably stupid. Not all the new games are like that. don't generalize and say inaccurate lies. You clearly didn't play the games on harder difficulty. Besides, the difficulty in the older warriors games isn't that great. Dw2, 3, and 4 is cheap and unfair. Enemy officers can get back health, troops are too aggressive and the archers are a pain in the ass. Dw5 is when they finally got difficulty right by not relying on cheap gimmicks. Stop letting nostalgia blind you and realize how wrong you are.
@@shadowandroid1823I agree. When I was playing the older PS2 games, I would constantly get hit by those goddamn archers and I get swarmed by those annoying peon soldiers.
@@wilsonng994I guess you didn’t play SW5, you get stun lock by rifleman in SW5 and you won’t even get to do anything if you set in foot on those ambush. PS2 era games were hard due to poor camera, clunky controls and random pop in enemies from behind when you’re on a combo, newer games are more of a mission based which you gotta manage strategy. Any new SW games and spinoffs did pretty good job adding playability and let’s not forget 99% of people play Musou games to have fun and we have many other hard hack and slash games like Ninja Gaiden, Dark Souls and DMC to play for challenge
I've quite enjoyed your reviews and analysis, especially difficulty and such. I think musou community forget that in its essence warrior games are in some shape or form also strategy, but the difficulty levels have also diluted and weaponry upgrade challenges have been debauched due to people being incapable of accomplishing certain / objectives/ and I emphasize this purposefully due to impart it's a facet of the strategy of garnering your unit to become strongest version of themselves while the objectives become extremely more tedious. Quantity isn't the factor and in fact I've not got age of calamity either, I've found Hyrule to give me a bad taste of repetition in my mouth without true challenges, yes. I have to play as dudes I don't like he the story is meant for you to tryout everyone, though people also want that. I rather play FEW even though has clones- weapon systems and skill deriving from, certain supports is far more diversive than the ladder and two on lunatic or even normal it's as I said securing objectives without your own allied base dropping so it actually respects that part of warrior games. And one piece is incredible for uniquenes, but it suffers from fans wanting old ways because one shutting is so much talent.
Hey alright! This kinda makes me glad that mystic weapons are piss easy to obtain in WO3U, but then again who uses Mystic weapons there? As far as I know, I don’t think you’re even allowed to use battlefield bonuses to upgrade their base stats. But I digress. Never really played much of the older warriors games, mainly due to lack of interest or clunkiness. Although I can see where the nostalgia comes from. And call me a masochist, but I actually like how challenging it can be to obtain a rare weapon is thanks to this video. It just makes getting it all that much sweeter. If you do less Warriors content, that’s fine. There’s only so much you can talk about these games and it’s not like SW5 is happening anytime soon. God knows what DW9 Empires will be like. I’m currently enjoying Nier Automata (remember when you streamed that? Lol.) and I did find the Ninja Gaiden video with Momiji quite funny. Keep up the great work
Damn I remember all of this. But luckily me I did it in 2player mode. Now personally on my end 1 DW5 guan ping weapons was tended 2 warrior orochi unlock musashi miyamoto ... I know unlock characters not a Weapons 3 DW4 n 5 Unlocked lubu n weapons very tended. 3
I remember how my brother tried like 10 times to get Kotaro's ultimate weapon in Sw2, the map is huge, you are under very tight time limits and have to protect a pathetically weak NPC
I shall not tolerate this teddie slander. In all seriousness i love this video cuz it takes me back to a time when i loved this series and everything in it, especially these secret weapons. You should do a list of the hardest items to get next. Thatd be cool
For Sima Yi’s 5th weapon in DW3XlL, you cannuse speed scroll instead of red hare, jump off the bridge and use his running square attack to move super fast. Using this method I got the weapon pretty comfortably with like 1 min 30s left til the 9 min mark
Honestly, none of the 5th weapons were too bad for me in DW3XL. The worst DW3 weapon for me was Zhuge Liang’s 4th weapon in DW Vanilla specifically. The old bodyguards sucked and Zhuge Liang is awful to play a max difficulty stage. XL bodyguards obviously make it a breeze but that is easily one of the hardest Koei weapons to get especially for PS2 era games.
Overall, I think DW4XL had the hardest final weapon requirements . Expert is hard enough (harder than 3XL Very Hard to me) much less with ridiculous conditions for some of them
Can't really argue with any of these. I will say, however, that Tadakatsu's final weapons in 1XL and 2 vanilla are both annoying af to get, but SW1 XL is especially annoying with not being allowed to let even a single peon in that castle. Admittedly, these aren't really the hardest since Tadakatsu is OP. Just SUPER annoying. That Sun Quan lvl 11 weapon was BS lol, hated getting that. Koei was wild for that one.
You forgot to mention that DW 4 Sun Quan lvl 11 weapon is absolute trash and not worth getting, like most of the hard lvl 11 weapons such as the Quiao Sisters.
So all of the systems ruining dynasty warriors are from samurai warriors. Great that sucks. I think Zhang Jiao's lvl 10 from 4 is really damn hard. Also Ritsu is cute.
Dw9 isn't shit. Its honestly below par for sure. But due to complaining from people like you we will now had another dynasty warriors pumped out the exact same the previous 20 were. I was hoping they'd take dw9 and use criticism to make a better updated with the times game. But no all the backlash and were ganna get another repeat. So thank you bandwagon fans. Thank you
"Due to complaining from people like you" and reviewers and lower sales than dw8 and the glitches and shit voice acting. People dont like Dw9 because its low effort shit, why would anyone want the games to be like that? You even say "updated with the times" as if they need to bandwagon on a dead genre when Dw is already unique If you dont like people talking about Dw9 in a negative way or jokes then the internet isnt for you
@@SexGravy name one koei title that deserves an award for voice acting rofl..... I've put 1000s of hours into these games. Maybe something new isn't so bad after 20 years of the same formula. You are just bashing their failed attempt to try something new for once because everyone else is. Im happy they even tried. Im just saying there is alot of promise if they executed it better... More lively open world.. and less glitches no repeat officer weapons.... those 3 fixes would have made people pumped to play it. So they were not far off an amazing new era. Its just a difference of opinion. I prefer new ideas like witcher 3 open world over the 50th remake of zelda. We just prob differ. I like new... you like same old thing...
"name one koei title that deserves an award for voice acting rofl" never said any of them did, but at least from DW4 onwards the voices were on par with most anime. "Maybe something new isn't so bad after 20 years of the same formula" that doesn't make it good though. If burger King for example replace the meat in their burgers with dog shit it doesn't make it good because it's "new" I was bashing the game from launch, and even before most people had their hands on it in this west, so no i'm not "bandwagoning" And for the record some of my favorite games are open world (Fallout: New Vegas, Gravity Rush 2, Genshin Impact) ". Im just saying there is alot of promise if they executed it better..." games don't get reviewed or get praise because it "might" be good or has "Promise" that;s an idiotic way of running a business, you can't give someone money and then except them to "do better next time" because they already have your fucking money. Sorry if you're upset at my "joke", but people that defend DW9 seem to think it's the fans fault it's bad and not that Koei put out a lazy and shit product. "I like new... you like same old thing..." No, I like good games... which DW9 isn't.
@@SexGravy im not saying dw9 is a good game but atlewst they shook things up from the last 20 years. None of their releases came close to a game of the year they never produce something everyone will like but they are trying. Thats all im saying im pumped they are trying. You think its a shit game I think your a brat. You don't get the same formula because they tried something new and failed and you don't care to give their company credit thats pumped out games you have played for 20 years. You just look at face value. Thats fine we fundamentally differ. I admire a failed attempt you call it shit. You are a brat

0:38 Whole time i thought that was a whole different person, i played myself for a whole year.
Yay I’m so glad you’re back!
man
this entire video is a nostalgia trip
Kinda wish Koei would just release a DW/SW Collection
Good to see you back bud!
Good list. Though I'd put the yellow turban leader 4th weapon on DW5 cause that weapon was brutal.
Hey bro welcome back. hey you will do Samurai warriors 3 weapons?
For some reason i'm can't find in this on internet.
I'll do them at some point. I've gotten all of them in the japanese version, so I know what to do lol

2 warrior orochi unlock musashi miyamoto ... I know unlock characters not a Weapons
3 DW4 n 5 Unlocked lubu n weapons very tended.
3
so far, it's Ieyasu in SW 4 for me, i mean, it's hard and using the co-op is a must
Just watched you recently. Subbed
Thanks!
I can't believe I got Sun Quan's level 11 weapon, that means I got the hardest weapon in all of the warrior series, so by default Ibeaten them all.
I will say that the most difficult series is Dynasty Warriors 4. AI is more aggressive and enemies general stats are tremendously high.
The legend is back
I remember how my brother tried like 10 times to get Kotaro's ultimate weapon in Sw2, the map is huge, you are under very tight time limits and have to protect a pathetically weak NPC
I shall not tolerate this teddie slander.
In all seriousness i love this video cuz it takes me back to a time when i loved this series and everything in it, especially these secret weapons.
You should do a list of the hardest items to get next. Thatd be cool
100% to the “Otherwise it would be all Dynasty Warriors 3 and 4XL weapons…” cuz my goodness those were def the hardest to get. Koei was crazy lol
For Sima Yi’s 5th weapon in DW3XlL, you cannuse speed scroll instead of red hare, jump off the bridge and use his running square attack to move super fast. Using this method I got the weapon pretty comfortably with like 1 min 30s left til the 9 min mark

I mean you've got your priorities straight with Anime Thots.
With Natoria at least you learn "I'm sorry" in Japanese 😂
Naotora ii
"すみません!"
The CAW sword in sw 4-ii was hell for me
non of those harder than unlocking orochi X in warrior orochi 2 ps2😢
WELCOME BACK!
You forgot Kenshin's LVL 4 weapon in Samurai Warriors 2
No, because I already chose one from SW2
god i miss higher ranking soldiers having combos and being a threat
Can't really argue with any of these. I will say, however, that Tadakatsu's final weapons in 1XL and 2 vanilla are both annoying af to get, but SW1 XL is especially annoying with not being allowed to let even a single peon in that castle.
