Musou games : Plague or cancer?
>>
Are generally really fun especially if they implement coop, otherwise they're pretty much all the same.

There's also Musou games that are even more retarded like Dragon Quest Heroes that have the perfect potential to have coop but don't.
>>
Best genre.
>>
>>342872736
They're constantly made
They constantly sell
They're consistently mediocre
They're constantly gaining more and more IP's to adapt

Conclusion:
They won't ever go away

The Gundam ones were pretty dope. None of the others are very good in my opinion though. Having the characters be robots that can boost and fly and shoot and transform into planes and shit does wonders for play-ability in that series. In general the controls generally felt more polished. Also the level of fanservice in the Gundam Musou games was far beyond that of other Musou IPs.

>MFW I turned Heero into a Cyber-Newtype so that he could use funnels and joined the Titans

If only they were able to licence the Japanese soundtracks for the western releases they'd be perfect.

Pirate Warriors 2 has great enemy count

I don't think there is a genre more shit than Musou
It just feels like a sub-genre designed for low budget crap, like:
>So let's try to make a great beat em ups guys
>Huh it's actually hard to make great fighting system...
>We ran out of time and budget and all we got is a bare bones fighting system with a grand total of 5 different combos.. literally no level design.. puke inducing graphics.. No physics engine... Greg over there managed to model one enemy... fuck...
>Guys I got an idea
>Keep the shitty fighting system as our core gameplay,
>But it's shi...
>WAIT! Mike can you make a plane and color it green? That'll be our level. Greg, that enemy, how many time can you duplicate it?
>"I don't know, if we keep these puke-inducing graphics, I would say.. a fuckton of times sir"
>alright do it but then take the texture of the model and slide the HUE bar left and right a bunch of times, then duplicate these again and give more health to these recolored enemies, scale up one of them we'll call it a boss.
>But sir, how do we make money?

i would if it actually felt that way though. they never do. i mean you already have tons of people complaining about the new berserk musou that doesn't even have dismemberment. i tried playing the hokuto no ken ones because i wanted to ATATATA and those games felt the slowest to me out of ALL of them, when it should've been the fastest. absolute dogshit.

You can dumb down any genre to this you know?

FPS
>aim on this guy
>click

Fighting
>hit this guy
>hit him until you win

etc...

You obviously haven't played LEGO games to say this, or maybe you just dislike adventure games revolving around puzzles and simplistic combats.
LEGO games have pretty good writing despite being low budget. And they have all kinds of puzzles and interactions, there is also some variety in the levels and you can feel like the people who made this actually cared, unlike Musous. They even feel like retro adventure games sometimes.

I love Musou because beat-em-ups are all but dead, and I'll never stop playing Musou games.

Because making games like Ninja Gaiden actually require some work and talent so you can fuck it up easily, you need great game designers great level designers and even better AI programmers.

Musou games are hard to fail (No Level design, limited AI). And they're low budget as fuck so there is barely any risk, combine that with the fact that they can make Musou for beloved anime franchises that will sell a lot even if the game is mediocre and you got the recipe for the cancer of Japanese video games.

The xbox Kingdom Under Fire games are the most strategic but you might find the musou part lacking, it only triggers when your unit clashes with another and won't have you single-handedly winning a battle like in DW

There's also the DW: Empires series but they've been stripping down the kingdom management every entry since it left the PS2, and that was never deep to start with

Ninety Nine Nights has squads you can command to follow and lead into battle, but from what I remember they're meatshields more than anything

it's 'failed potential, the video game'. It's the one time they decided to do something different with the formula and it ruins the game.

Instead of running around large battlegrounds to take out bases and eventually defeating the commander it's either a 'PROTECT THIS NPC/INSTALLATION' or 'WAIT OUT THIS TIMER'.

Doesn't help that the majority of movesets were rather boring compared to modern musou games as well.

Well, the only traditional musou I've played is the Zelda one (Fist of the North Star is structured a bit differently) and in that one it's best to not bother with all the small fries and only attack the stronger enemies with lifebars or just rush to capture all the bases. You have to kill all the weaklings in the base in order to fill a meter to capture it, though

Second game has a new power up system where you lay icons out on a grid with certain combinations giving you bonus passive abilities.

Fun to work with, but it's every easy to break the system to make yourself unstoppable, and the ones you get from the DLC missions are better than the ones you get normally (don't actually need to be THAT powerful to do everything in the game though).

I imported this game to play with my nieces and was fucking pissed when I found out it was single player only. I thought that it was going to let us do CO-OP after the tutorial. I will never just take that for granted again. I also love the game. It is a perfect blend of traditional Dragon Quest and musou. It works quite well.
>>342872736
I've played musou games since their inception. I personally love them. /v/ used to love them too. Musou was one of the only games that was okay to 'like' on this board. Musou and God Hand were okay. I don't even know anymore.

A musou game without couch co-op pretty much throws away one of the best parts of the series. The few that don't have it always loses big points in my book.

The worse thing about musou games are the level designs, holy shit can the developers just calm down on the wide open space for once. This is one of the reason why i skip out on the one piece musou game.

I personally don't think HW is that good compared to most of the other games in the musou universe.
If it didn't have the Zelda name attached and wasn't the only musou game on the Wii U people know about (gimped versions of WO3 and FotNS2 are also on it) it wouldn't be that big a deal.
>>
>>342881639
Not that other anon, but having Pokemon in your list is just as bad as having a Dynasty Warriors. Each Pokemon game has the same cut and pasted attitude as the Dynasty Warriors series, but they are both brainless games. So you both have equally shit taste! Honestly, I just don't buy or talk about games that I don't like. I really don't see the point. What fun is it to jump into a Mario thread just to tell everyone how shitty their favorite game is?
I really enjoyed Okami. Wish the Wii version worked better. How do you fuck something up that hard?

Oh I only played it for about 30 hours. Enjoyed it co-op with a buddy. Got real tired of it after that and the thought of grinding out more of the game was just too much.

It was also my first musou and obviously before I knew that they made these games out of every series ever.

But I enjoyed it.

If I hear good things about One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 then I'll consider picking it up too.

I'm normally the same, but it is a mash-up of Dragon Quest and Musou that really tries to stay true to the source while still being a Musou. I was pissed a first, but once I realized that I was actually quite happy with the game. I've loved the Dragon Quest series since the first NES game and this musou somehow stayed true to that feeling.

OP3 is very good and much faster paced than HW.
Also leagues more characters.
Co-op also isn't as gimped as it is on HW since it's split-screen.

There is tourneys of pokemon games, it's not as brainless as it seems and there is some strategy and tactics involved, the game is basically a card game with rules close to Magick actually. I don't see how it's as brainless as smashing the same button over and over in front of training dummies until they disappear.

You get musous for the setting

That's why you hear a bunch of people screaming about how Zelda or PW or Dragon Quest Warriors are the best.
It's because they like said setting the best.

I've played quite a few of them actually. You can get through most of the game with one Pokemon spamming tackle over and over. Power level one pokemon and beat everything. It's just as brainless as Musou. I like both.
The only person I take Pokemon advice from is Ernie Hudson

>>342883197
In the 1000KO's defende, it is literally what anyone ever needs when they want to play a musou game.

Here's 1000 enemies in a really tight space, some QTE if you want to speed up the fight, go out there and wreck shit.

Ultimately, the best Musou would just be Miniboss Boss Rush followed by 1000ko battle and topped with a sweet DMC styled boss fight.

Are there any musou games where you can also command an army if you choose? Like Pikmin, but not really (i've never played Pikman, it's the only thing I coudl think of). Or maybe like Halo Wars or Wonderful Man 100 (I've never played those games, but they're the only thing I could think of).

Any western Musous? I've been wanting to see how white people try to pull this off since I played Bladestorm and hoped that actual Europeans (or even Americans) could make a similar game.

You mean those Dynasty Warriors games and spin-offs? They're cancer in every way. Always the same generic level design and monotonous gameplay while Sengoku Basara at least has some unique, "organic" looking levels, platforming here and there, puzzles and decent dodging. I think in some muosu games you can't even jump.

Now GoW? This is mediocre at best. And I don't see how one mechanic in NG2 coming from God of War make GoW better, also the mechanic isn't a QTE in NG2 and that makes it instantly better, though NG2 isn't as great as NGB in the first place so I don't know why you're using NG2 for comparison instead of NGB, even when people talked only about NGB in this thread.

Over time it seems many people have forgotten the most important ingredient to a good gaming experience: The good game.

And by game I'm not referring to life like engines, low speed chases, low magazine counts, or any of the other irrelevant nonsense I don't give a submarining fuck about. I mean the actual gameplay. The part where you control stuff and have it interact with other stuff and then your brain generates fun.
If I wanted a realistic combat system, I'd go outside. There's only a few million niggers outside already in existence, the majority of which whose a.i. compare to the best video game combat sims, the same way Kobe Bryant's penis might compare to that of a poorly endowed tit mouse.
If enduring 90 minutes of dudes reloading slowly dubbed with pornography-grade voice acting sounds exciting to you, I suggest you immediately open up your web browser, browse on over to your friendly neighborhood torrent site, and start downloading something called a DOCUMENTARY. Any of them really, because apparently you're very easily satisfied.
Perhaps I'm romanticizing the past here, but but I remember a time when most games were about being having fun, about defeating lots of foes, about improving your skills against all types of adversaries and about feeling proud of your accomplishments.
Now they're mostly shiny particle effected vessels guiding any soccer mom caliber gamer through a generic 3rd grade level story where anyone with a brain the size of a steroid shrunk testicle can pretend to be a normal person even though HE CAN DO THAT ALREADY

>B-but I need a realistic engine, no suspension of disbelief, lots of chest high walls!

Would you really need chest high walls to play Donkey Kong, you twat? How about foosball? Or poker? If the process of playing a game isn't fun for you, then maybe you should find a different hobby.
