Dynasty Warriors 4

I wonder why one of these posts haven't been made yet for this great game. I've only played for about an hour, but every bit of it has been great.

hey mmx, is the blocking still shit like in the past games...i read in previews that they did nothing to improve on that...unfortunatly this has always been my biggest complaint...

Whats wrong with the blocking? Works fine unless your talking about how easy it is when facing a general one on one?

Not only is the blocking as functional as always (remember, it only works for the front 180-degree radius of your body), but for this new version they added parrying as well... so I think it's fine.

There's not a lot of posts for this game because most people here are way too Core to give a damn about it.

Now, the question is, as it pertains to all Dynasty Warriors, "will still be interested in an hour?"

Did they fix the pop-up a little?

I am loving DW4, did not play 3 much but 4 is a huge jump over 2. I seldom block myself, don't find the need to with that awesome ground pound move. I am sure on the harder settings you will need to do it but I am just having loads of fun killing 100s of people as a plow my way to the generals on the maps. Are the orb things new to DW4? I got a freeze one, find it very useful on the harder generals, it freezes them at the end of a combo sometimes. Great game!

People had "elemental attacks" in 3 which is where the orb/jade concept comes from now; it makes it even better since anyone can slap an orb in any weapon and suddenly it makes the character a lot more useful. I also contend that certain people are better suited towards one type of orb than others; quick people seem to work well with Lightning and others are good with Ice or Death... Zhuge Liang with Death is great :)

Currently I am playing Xiahou Dun with an Ice ord, it gave him this great combo that has a chance to freeze the target. It was the only way I bet Lu Bu in one of the ealier missions. That fella was a pain in the ass.
