"People are quick to accuse the DW series of being repetitive, but has there been any real change in the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto since it debuted on the orignal Playstation so many years ago?"
You didn't just compare GTA with DW did you?
Come on now,
I think the GTA series deserves more then to be compared to DW which as litterally been the same since really DW 4.
LOL, I'm not even going to bother to defend GTA further then that - nuff said.
On Topic: From what I have been reading, the overall feeling is that Koei has taken alot out of the game such as alot of character story modes, some characters all together and even changed characters voice acting/scripts which are actually worse (As well as the attire and Weapons). Hell It's not even two button mashing anymore for combo's - it's one.
They took a HUGE step backward with this game - Here is a bright idea for Koei. This is what they should do - WAIT a couple years and lets see uhh . . . BUILD UPON THE GAME!!! Instead of cutting characters out and leaving out some character story lines. This is terrible . . . each warrior game previous to this has increased the world (to an extent, characters, added abilities/items what-ever) . . . not this one. You can't say cutting things out is a plus IMO. Idon't care how good the graphics are - you are cutting corners. Which 9 times outta 10 is not good.
They should've taken a few notes from that of the GTA series. Atleast they spend a long time to get their shizzer right. What it's been about 4 years since SA? They even pushed back the dat from last oct I think to what april? Everyone is waiting for GTA becuase they know from past games it will be really good and alot of things will be improved (as well as other things added in).
Koei releases a DW game every year, they were using the basic Madden formula, add only a little extra and change a few things every year. Like I said that was before DW 6 haha - Who ever buys DW 6 are fools. If anything it's a rental and I'm not even going to waste money doing that. DW 3 was by far the best, I even bought DW 4, 4 XL, 4 Emipres, 5 and even 5 Empires. But no more - my last hope was with DW 6 . . .I am tired of this series and the lack of improvements, seriously how do you take a step BACKWARDS - why can't people be more like Take two or Blizzard? When they need more time they push something back - it's worth it if the people give it good reviews (so more people buy it). Anyways, Since DW 3/4 this game has been the same basically and has barley changed. Even with the next-gen system here they can't even bring the upgrades in gameplay . . .
Graphics have never been 'that' important to me if it hurts the gameplay. Some people might see better graphics as a fair trade off, I don't - I can deal with 'lesser' graphics if I have more to do gamewise (like getting 4th weapons, items, maxing out the new characters what-ever) I haven't even played the game (DW 6) and I know already from what Koei took away that it's a huge let down.
What I have to wait till XL or Empires to get the characters and things put back in so I can waste an extra 40 or so bucks to play stuff that should've been in Dw 6? F' that. Koei has taken enough of my money as it is - They used that scam on me TWICE before - with DW 4 expansions and with the DW 5 expansion. Atleast then they had a semi-good excuse. That it was PS2 . . .
There is no excuse for downgrading with the new 'hard-drive' syatems. You shouldn't be getting rid of things but expanding on them.
that's all guys.
I'm out.
