Hyrule Warriors is good about this though. Each character has a gimmick and you've got moves that have different advantages and disadvantages or confer different benefits or whatever. Even the weak point system means you'll (sometimes, some characters have a wonder-combo) use different moves for smashing weak points than you would for crowd clearing than you would for damaging officers without their weak points. Enemies are significantly more aggressive (they need to be since the weak point system requires them to attack) and enemies taking camps or even your base is far more likely.

That sounds excellent. I haven't played HW yet so I might pick it up today.

I bought a Wii U in preparation for Smash Bros, mainly, but since HW just came out I grabbed that as well. It wasn't at the top of my list or anything but I got the OOT skins so that's cool

Considering The Wonderful 101 is, on average, approximately four to five times better than the average video game, the curious will find its general market price of ~twenty American dollars to be not only equivalent to its moral price of $5, but also A Bargain's Bargain (ABB), thank you and goodnight

You said Dynasty Warriors was less accessible then Hyrule Warriors. Wonderful 101 is definitely not for you. Neither is Bayonetta 2 I suppose.

How the gently caress is a game about Chinese warriors from millennia ago MORE accessible than a game about video game characters?

I was talking about the gameplay.

E: Sorry I was pointing out that if you make that comparison at all then no you most likely will not enjoy W101 or Bayonetta 2.

Well I can't speak for him obviously, but in my case, it's the entirety of the setting and art style that's just not even the slightest bit appealing. I just don't like the whole super sentai aesthetic. For instance, as another example, while I generally enjoyed the Phoenix Wright games, I always liked the cases about the Steel Samurai the least :shrug: (Well, except for Oldbag, of course, who is obviously awesome wherever she appears :allears:)

That's a totally fair point to not get W101.

Okay, everyone who wants me to buy W101 of Bayonetta because I think Hyrule warriors looks good seems to think that because you beat dudes in HW, and you beat dudes in W101 and Bayonetta, they're the same.

In DW/HW, you press butan and 30 people die and their corpses fly everywhere and knock other people down.

In W101 and Bayonetta you actually have have to know what button to press and when to press them of the game will kick your rear end.

Also in DW when they give orders like "go defend the cheese storage", I'm like "Is that my or some other dude's name?" because there are like 80 characters and I'm apparently super bad with Chinese names. But in HW when they say that "Impa, you must go and kill all the dudes at the east gate", I'm like "Oh, that video game character that isn't based on a real person, that name I know"

Yeah, they might as well be video game characters for how well known Romance of the Three Kingdoms is here. I don't get the complaints at all.

I agree that in general Warriors games are bad and lazy, hasn't stopped me from playing hundreds of hours of them on the PS2 and 360. Soon on the Wii U as well. (Just noticed my phone auto corrects Wii to Wei.)

i think you're conflating system and games, nobody is talking about how much they love the gamepad and staring at that little screen for hours on end, or playing new games with the same lovely old wiimote, or collecting a hoard of NFC video game figurines

it just happens voice commands and the Kafkaesque policies of Microsoft are even worse
