The more I run, the more I deviate from the "Dynasty Warriors" and count the routines of Koei Tecmo's games

With the release of the Collector's Edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13", players quietly took out their wallets and prepared to eat dirt. Koei's strategy games and simulation games are really amazing, all of which are modern childhood classics. Some games were not discovered until after I played them. Due to my age, some of the older games on the black and white screen were completed later. The first Koei games I came into contact with were "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Nobunaga's Ambition", and then the famous Dynasty Warriors series.

However, after playing Dynasty Warriors, I still couldn't accept this setting when I played some other games with muted sound, such as La Corda d'Or and Angelique. Is Koei Tecmo's heart a little off? Why not continue to follow the simulation competition strategy route and must find the future of action games?

Of course, it is undeniable that some of Koei's action games, such as the "Dynasty Warriors" series and the "Ninja Gaiden" series in cooperation with TECMO, have indeed brought great experience and pleasure. However, in recent years, why do Koei's action games feel more and more off track?

Next, let’s take Dynasty Warriors as an example to list the routines and flaws of Koei’s previous action games.

About the setting. The weapon setting is unique in the world; the character setting is particularly resistant to cold

——Too lazy to add clothes

I have to say that whether it is the characters, weapons, or world view of Koei, the settings are always so eye-catching that it makes people feel like they have come to a beautiful holy land to suppress dogs. However, when the background is a very cold winter, the female characters and some male characters must still be so delicate and freezing. Even the wolves from the north, the God Eater, have frozen into a dog and released a winter clothing series. Although the shape is very poor, can Koei add a little more bricks and tiles to its royal characters? Although people's aesthetics now prefer this style, it's fine if it's only one series. Even the later action games can tell the bust size of female characters without guessing, which is simply outrageous. Of course, Koei itself started out as a silent game, so this is nothing.

For example, in the "Dynasty Warriors" series and the "Toukiden" series, the female characters all have strong bones and muscles and are not afraid of cold legs!

Diao Chan appears at Hulao Pass wearing this outfit, spinning and jumping with eyes closed, and crushing the enemy with her momentum! The antifreeze index is +max, and the ultimate move has a self-heating skill! It seems to have 3000 hot packs, just like a new GTX960 graphics card! I can't help but think of the time in Ninja Gaiden 3 when the otaku doctor put Long Falcon in the ice and snow, and said to Long Falcon's two bare arms: Aren't you afraid of the cold? I want to give this sentence to the girls in the Koei action game.

The fabric of Diao Chan's clothes is getting less and less with each generation, and the aesthetics are getting worse and worse with each generation! Here we have to mention the clothes worn by Ii Naotora in "Samurai Warriors". The setting book said that it was given to her by her grandfather - I have to call the police.

Speaking of the craftsmanship of Koei's weapons throughout the ages. It has to be said that Koei's weapon craftsmanship is the best in the world, and the imagination is unique. When you see a weapon that looks like a DLC entertainment weapon appear in front of you, don't panic, because that is 100% Koei's normal weapon setting. In common sense, ships can carry people, but in the eyes of Koei, ships can beat people. In everyone's eyes, pillars are used to beat Joseph Joestar, but in the eyes of Koei, they can beat everyone. There is also the new weapon of the rich Jin Yuan Benchu ​​7th generation. This sword is a spring. Ask you if you are afraid. The stretching and shrinking fully show the original spirit of the nation. The craftsmanship is out, and it's time to give the weapon a name. As he said, Sima Zhao raised the Strike Blade! Please read this name to the whole class and all the names of his weapons! After reading, let's smooth your tongue. Fengxian's weapon, the Fang Tian Tie Ji, evolved into the Fang Tian Xun Ji for the first time, and into the Fang Tian Hua Ji for the second time. The X mega evolved into the Wu Shuang Fang Tian Ji, and the Y mega evolved into the Ba Chuan Fang Tian Ji. This setting is very reasonable.

It has to be said that Koei Tecmo pays great attention to the settings of weapons. It can even be said that Koei Tecmo has put almost all its efforts into the settings of character clothes and weapons in making action games.

Although there is not much difference between having some clothes and not having them.

The direction of the plot and world view, remembering that day's running under the sunset is the lost moral integrity

——Don’t ask about logic

Koei Tecmo always has big imaginations when making games, otherwise there wouldn't be the Orochi series. So no matter what plot appears in Koei Tecmo's action games, it's not new. Koei Tecmo's "Dynasty Warriors" series is a game based on the plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Of course, as a game, it adds a lot of original plots on the basis of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but some of the plot settings have been adapted to show a trend of going out of control. For example, the innovative "Dynasty Warriors 5", whether its innovation is really successful or not is still controversial, but its plot is the beginning of the collapse of the "Dynasty Warriors" series.

Take the popular Sun Shangxiang for example. As a female general of the Wu faction, the ending of her personal story is that Shu unified the world. After Sun Ce was wounded and died in Xudu, Sun Shangxiang soon fell in love with Liu Bei. Then she told Sun Quan that she wanted to see a world different from Sun Wu, and then got married. Later, Guan Yu died, and she said that if Liu Bei chose revenge, then he should fight Sun Wu, and she would stand on Liu Bei's side. Then they killed Sun Quan, and Sun Shangxiang was about to give Sun Quan the final blow, but Liu Bei stopped her because keeping Sun Quan could provide resources for Shu. In the end, they hugged each other and set off flash bombs, revealing a victorious smile. In the end, Sun Shangxiang said that what she needed was not a hero like her eldest brother, but to find someone to hold her hand and accompany her for life.

It is no wonder that some players have come up with such horrifying ideas as the Xudu murder case. However, some people think that Sun Shangxiang's plot is exquisite and delicate, and the official also generously stated in the setting collection that they are super satisfied with Sun Shangxiang's personal plot.

Later, when I played Ninja Gaiden 3, I looked calm at the plot and settings. This is nothing.

Glorious is always glorious.

The production is not done carefully. Is it edible?

——Special optimization techniques

The most memorable experience was when I was playing Orochi, watching Shuten-doji and Taigong Wang talking, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It seems that there is no difference in the two's body shapes, the height and proportions are similar, and Taigong Wang's head is two circles bigger than Shuten-doji's head. Also in "Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires", if someone is interested, in the real-time animation of the marriage, the two parties to the marriage are set as Deng Ai and Xiahou Ba. Then when you enter the scene, you will be surprised to find that the two people are the same height when sitting.

The characteristic of the Dynasty Warriors series is mowing, mowing, and mowing again. The new system of continuous dance developed in the fifth generation is to make you mow the grass continuously to fill the continuous dance gauge. After the continuous dance, you will unlock some special attack skills, and then you can mow the grass better; the sixth generation added the Yiwu system, which allows you to change weapons to mow the grass; the seventh generation added the system of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the three attributes of heaven, earth and man to let you mow the grass according to the attributes.

So it's just mowing the grass, mowing the grass non-stop. And since the third generation, except for the fifth generation, 3467 is basically the same old story, the scenes are very gloomy, the characters are rendered very ordinary, like the Wujun of the fifth generation, it is only a flash in the pan.

The textures of the characters and clothes in Dynasty Warriors 7 are very good, but the texture of the metal accessories is terrible. A piece of metal can be made into a glass-like reflective material. Some people think that the best material in Dynasty Warriors 7 is metal. This is really terrible.

After reviewing all the games in the Dynasty Warriors series, I quietly put away all the game discs. Although the games are released one after another, the feeling and passion I had before are no longer there. Koei Tecmo is getting more and more excited about making action games, but the direction is getting more and more off track. In general, the feelings are still there, but my heart is tired.
