Post all your Warriors here

From Dynasty, to Samurai, to Orochi, to Hokuto, to One Piece, to Hyrule, and into the great boundless expanse that awaits us all

For those of you unaware of Koei Tecmo's Warrior Series, they're a genre of action game with a focus on clearing large crowds with flashy destructive attacks, also known for having large playable casts, and occasionally big anime titties

they're pretty polarizing

let's talk about them here
 
So how about that Pirate Warriors 3

Swear to god they better bring it over and NOT butcher the translation like Pirate Warriors 2

I hope they give us more differences between Pre and Post Timeskip Straw Hats

and more Pre-Timeskip Villains like Krieg and Lucci

and Vivi
add Vivi

I'm hoping there'll be a full blown bladestorm warriors eventually.

Koei could work with more european conflicts
 
Every fan question for every Warriors game ever: "When's Lu Bu?"
:PUN:

Considering they've been on a good roll on getting One Piece games localized, this hopefully means Pirate 3 comes over here too. I hope I can also pick up Hyrule when I get a Wii U.
 
it's very different and you can, with one character, summon a statue of yourself and beat enemies to death with it
 
I'm pretty sure they're going to add Rebecca into the next Pirate Warriors. I can only hope that she isn't the whiny coward she's been in the manga recently...
 
Nah, it's a different person

the toys girl just kinda acts threatening then gets FUCKIN DUNKED by Usopp
 
man! they need to bring back Gan Ning's DW4 playstyle!
 
Is that the girl who turns people into toys?
The gladiator girl. The very poorly designed one at that? The one who promised that she wanted to do the protecting and has done literally nothing of the sort since her introduction? Who didn't even attempt to attack the person who killed her mother because she's a "pacifist"?
 
Her fighting style is established as wholly defensive and non-aggressive

she'd be pretty hard to work into a playable character

Easier than one leg mchopsalot, or Rebecca's dad
 
which is
part of why i don't expect either of them as playable characters
if anyone introduced in the Dressed-Ogre arc, I'd bank on Isshou/Fujitora and Bartolomeo (plus Doffy but he's been around for ages)

Speaking of which...

Some people aren't very happy with how she's been treated this arc, and think that she should've been taken out in a more action packed way or something. I don't know, at this point it feels like Usopp is intentionally rubbing it in that she fainted to him freaking out. It's probably because of the overall negative handling of female characters in this arc, though.
For example...

Robin is on the left, and the new character Viola is on the right.
 
we got a one piece thread if you wanna discuss it there, you know
 

I want a real Dragon Quest game for PS4... not this :(
 

eey we got a trailer for DW8 Empires

really liking how the customization options are looking
was hoping to see another character aside from Xun Yu but these things come with time, i guess
 
Still waiting to see "just f*cked this up" Ma Su on a DW game
 
In case you may have thought otherwise

DW8: Empires has been confirmed for a western release in Q1 2015
 
No PC confirmation, i'll keep crying in the dark corner of steam for now

also, DW8XL "complete edition"'s DLC on pc costas almost twice the game price. that's ludicrous!
 

Two new characters confirmed:
Fujitora and Sabo

As someone who hasn't watched/read anything recently and simply enjoys the games

Cool

It comes with Zhang Fei and Xiao Caio, right?

never played any of the empire games, only the main dynasty warrior ones and a little bit of samurai warriors
 
Sabo and Doflamingo are our first confirmed characters for Pirate Warriors 3, friends
We also got a JP release date, March 26th

did Gan Ning ever get his good crazy ass running musou back?
 
well everyone basically has a good crazy ass running musou now thanks to the Rage Musou
I don't play many characters from Wu, though so I can't confirm if Gan Ning's is still all that good
 
If the scene where Luffy punches the old guy's head so hard his head goes back to a pinhead isn't there, I'll be incredibly disappointed.
 
I just found out Samurai warriors 4 got released here but they only released the ps4 version instead of releasing that version and the ps3 version, which they also did with warriors orochi 3 ultimate, which is a tad frustrating.
 
quick question:
can we talk about Sengoku Basara here?
 
I don't see why not
I mean it's basically the only other notable crowd-clearing hack n slasher
