Big ups for enforcing this!
I'm sure if that poster had a job where he or she could browse the net all day they wouldn't be posing the question.

DW5 rocks. DW5XL looks good. Let's see DW5 Empires, guys!
Yep! I started reading the book not long after I first picked up Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII, because I wanted so much to know what these people were all about, what their lives were like, what the drama of the time was like, all that. The book is HUGE and full of intrigue and drama and trickery and character that there's a ton of material to draw on for these games. Admittedly, Koei has a tendency to mickey mouse things a little in the Dynasty Warriors games, but sometimes it'd kinda suck to finish off a character's Musou Mode just to see him/her die. Still, some of the deaths are pretty honorable, and it'd be neat to see the characters go out with a bang...ah well.genjiZERO said:

I'm surprised there hasn't been any good Journey to the West games. Saiyuki was OK, but I wish it had followed the book more (... or at all). I think it would make a pretty bas-ass Marvel vs Capcom style 2D fighter where the characters could blow-up into giant monsters with hundreds of arms and heads and fight each other.

Absolutely, same goes for the damn characters. I tried reading the books but there are soooo many characters to keep track of. Same with Outlaws of the Marsh.
What I find interesting about the whole RoTK saga is that Liu Bei the virtuous "good guy" actually "loses" and never achieves his goal which is extremely contrary to all the stories that I grew up with (good guy always wins). No real happy endings =/
I'm playing through Musou as Sun Jian to unlock some of the Wu characters...don't really like him, tho.
First guy I unlock is a guy who tosses whistling wind, which does no damage. What the hell? :lol
Cao Ren is pretty cool, tho, but it's like all the awesome characters got stacked into Wei!

It did actually. I bought this cool version of the ROTK books (several thousand pages altogether) that has the Chinese text on the left page side by side with the english on the right. Good for reviewing your Mandarin too

I got the books too (four part, unabridged), although I must admit that I stopped reading after the third book when everything in the games has pretty much been dealt with and it's just downhill from there.

Personally, I think Lu Bu is alot harder to fight in DW3. Took me a long time to kill him early in the game but I did it.
Is there any real strategy to kill Lu Bu? My character does such pathetic damage to him, no matter who I am, and it always winds up being:
*let Lu Bu get hits in until health is in red
*true musou recharge
*use true musou
*repeat last two steps
And it takes a longass time. :|
Does he even have any weaknesses?

Strategy? Ha!
I just keep on attacking Lu Bu with all I got and then run away. Then I come back when my health and musou is better. Rinse and repeat.

Each sequel has additional characters, new items and different maps. Plus the stat systems and stage progression change from game to game (example: DW 3 had characters that could level up and used stage progression that was partially based on what character you used, while 4 levelled up their weapons and put you in a long "campaign" mode instead. DW5 returns to character based stats, and each character has their own individual story mode.) Plus there's stuff like bodyguards, animals, special attacks, and etc.

He's a bastard. Have you tried the GBA version, it's a bitch.
I wonder what Chinese historians think of the whole concept of the Dynasty Warriors games. I know a friend of mine was somewhat offended when he heard all these well-known Chinese figures speaking Japanese.
I always thought the rough equivalent would be a game where General Ulysses S. Grant or General Robert E. Lee would take up gun and sabre and mow down waves and waves of Confederate or Union troops (respectively), all while heavy electric guitar riffs played in the background.

They'd also have to have giant retardedly ornate hats and exaggerated facial hair. "Here comes general Meade with a 10 foot tall top hat. Uh oh! Here comes Stonewall Jackson with a 5 foot beard, armor made of actual stone, and a giant scythe!"
Then they'd have to include a bunch of woman characters that never really figured into the actual story beyond a sentence or two. "Here comes Mary Todd Lincoln! Due to her mental illness, her Musou meter is always full!"
