I agree especially on Nintendo switch, pirate warriors 3 ran surprisingly well even on 2 player mode undocked (even though the screen is small and everyone looked like a small toy) and it makes up for being a pick up and play type of game for me
Whenever an anime game comes out, you better goddamn bet Im coming to your channel for the review. Very good analysis of the features, and a fair judgment to follow this analysis. Great review!
ZettaSlow - True. Game is amazing and a step up from the previous ones(yes some characters are gone but the gameplay and addition of the forms and awakening for some characters is just way better imo)
Im really enjoying dramatic log. Its way better then pw3 an I had 1 trophy to plat it. This one I agree camera sucks ass and repetition is a thing for these games but as a op fan... Easily I get over the bad camera. What I do dislike is how they changed leveling. I prefer pw3. Buy this game
Same for me. Every musou gets worse marks in reviews always because of being repetitive and I never saw that as something bad. I totally understand if you don't deal with that but I think games like Diablo are the same tipe of repetitive game and don't get this treatment. This sub-genre always was underrated in my opinion.
@@mariorios6055 I agree with you there, I feel like all games become repetitive at one point or another. It just depends on the person. Musou games in particular become repetitive if you play it on easy difficulty, boost that difficulty up and realize it's more to it than just going in and bashing everyone's skull in. It's all about the difficulty in musou games.
@@mariorios6055 Tbh, every game has there own unique way of being repetitive. But it mostly depends on what people like and what genres they enjoy. Depends on the artstyle, graphics, frame rate, and story
@@christopherr9983 There's a lot of reasons, some are fair but some are just nitpicking! Some people don't like the art style, the difficulty is either really easy or really hard there's not really an in-between, people got annoyed that you can't play as the other Strawhats and people didn't really understand the combat system! The game does a lot of things right though and it's a shame more people didn't give it a chance because it's a really enjoyable game with a lot of content and great gameplay once you get the hang of it!
Good review. As someone with the platinum in PW3, I was looking forward to this but didn't have huge expectations. Things I love about PW4: New maps look great, destructible buildings, action plays/looks great, tons more enemies, dense skill maps, story arcs get more detail. Things I don't love: Shoddy camera, in-engine cut-scenes, missing arcs (understandable), load times.
Fair praise and fair criticism, overall I agree with most of this review and this is definitely the best pirate warriors game in my books, I was honestly just relieved to know Globku likes the game and the anime 😅
I cant seem to find it mentioned in the video and havent seen anyone mention it in the comments, but I truly think a huge part of what makes this game more fun to play than the other PW games on a raw gameplay level is the addition of the jump button. being able to jump makes moving through the stages soooo much more fun. it also really helps the flow of combat.
As someone who just platinumed warriors orochi i can say the combat is way more varied in pw4 then WO, making the game feel like there is more then just square square square
I first played PW3. It was fun. Then a few months later PW4 was released. Sense then I haven’t stopped playing it. Super addictive. Hopefully in a few years we all see a Pirate warriors 5.
Personally I liked the freemode and story set up from the pirate warriors 3 having to play with certain characters to see certain scenes or get certain stuff. also the treasure log in the P3 was a cool idea moving island to island in the grandline
My one big gripe with this game is that they give Luffy literally all of his costumes but won’t give most of the straw hats there original outfits, won’t even give Zoro his cp9 costume that was his default costume in every other game
I have played just about every game in the "Warriors" since the "Dynasty Warriors 2". This game as far as I've gotten and things I've done are far above most of the other games in this series/genre. The one that's most next polished is "warriors orochi 4 ultimate". The move sets and the fluidity you have when using characters is far above the rest of the series. Each character feels like a new character for the most part, most of the issues you had will probably be patched out shortly especially the camera issues.
I came into OPPW4 as a musou fan rather than a One Piece fan, and having played PW3, the one thing I really enjoy this time around is how varied the characters are. PW3 was built on the same formula of previous musou games with only a few characters having a unique gimmick. In PW4, it's clear that a lot more care was put into making the characters distinct and making sure their abilities and fighting styles are carried over from the original, with a lot of attacks and special moves being direct references to the manga/show. Another good addition is the dashing mechanic - at pretty much any point you can cancel out of a combo into a dash and start up a new combo, with many characters having a lot of options for aerial attacks as well, which also freshens up the combat and makes it more fluid. The camera issues are certainly unpleasant, and the lock-on system is a bit too loose for my liking, but for now, PW4 is good to tide me over until Persona 5 Scramble comes out in the west.
Thank you for this comment 🖤 Iv never player PW3 or PW4 but plan to get both but am actually planning to get the 4th game first since all the recent updates!
Big one piece fan, played the kaizoku musou games from day one and this one is by far the best gameplay wise. It just feels amazing. Camera is rough as globku stated and they do skip a bit in the story. The jump from straight to alabasta and no sky pea was kinda weird but other then that, if you like the others you will love this one. My opinion, hope it helps
In my opinion, the Musou/Warrior's genre of games has gotten leagues better in recent years. Dynasty Warrior's and Warrior's Orochi have a lot of harsh competition despite Koei being one of the leader's in the genre since Dynasty Warrior's 3. I honestly have liked the recent Hyrule Warrior's(Definitive Edition), Fire Emblem Warrior's, Fate/Exxxtra and Gundam Warrior's Revolution. Hyrule Warrior's, Fire Emblem and Fate/Exxxtra series added a lot of Stage Events, Combination Attacks, Attributes(that Matter), Hazards and Hyrule Warrior's specifically had a plethora of Boss Fight material to pull from and used it greatly, that coupled with an extensive Challenge Mode that's interesting along with the Fairy System made it my number 1 Musou genre game. I implore people that like Zelda, Fire Emblem or Fate to try the Musou game's for the series because in all honest all 3 of them are great, Gundam does have a true Fighting Game that's actually good so maybe try the fighting game instead but their newest Musou game isn't half bad either.
I'm really loving aspects of this game but as someone who has played all the games in this series, it's very "1 step forward, 2 steps back". I honestly love it but I feel like pirate warriors 3 was the better game.
@@abe4life1 That was one my favorite things about 2 and 3 and the bonuses they gave. The different combination attacks was always a highlight too. I also don't like how they removed the triangle square combos
@@abe4life1 bruh the kazuna rush system was awful. There were times where I just wanted to combo without a team mate swooping in but clicking an extra Traingle string by accident and it triggers it smh. Good riddance I say.
Removing so many of the arcs was a deal breaker for me. They didn't have to be fully realised but cutting them out as well all the older characters means it's first game in the series I have not bought day one and may never do so.
Musou games are 150% my guility pleasure, they're quick, snappy, addictive and just fun bro. Not to mention the fact that they have all of my favourite characters in one game
They really need to make a final fantasy warriors game, 2-3 characters from each mainline game would be great. Warrior of light, garland from 1, firion and emperor mateus from 2, luneth and cloud of darkness from 3, cecil kain and rydia from 4, bartz, gilgasmesh and exdeath from 5, terra, setzer and kefka from 6, cloud, aerith and sephiroth from 7, squall,laguna and ultimecia from 8, Zidane, vivi from 9, tidus and aaron from 10, vaan and balthier from 12, lightning and noel from 13, and probably all 4 from the main cast of 15. I think this would be a dream roster for a first game
Never really played any musou games, but I been following them for a while and like you mentioned feeling OP is a big selling point. I can definitely see myself liking that aspect but every other aspect of the game I would probably get bored of in a few hours.
I’m not much of a one piece fan but in the past globku has a really good presentation of his review and his reasons why a game is bad or good or in the middle so if I ever get around to it I might watch one piece and get the game
Overall I think the pirate warrior games are the best musou games, I spent tons of time playing pirate warriors 3 and got excited every time I unlocked a new character to wreck waves of enemies with. Using the one piece universe was the best idea ever.
Treasure Log in PW4 is surprisingly hard for me, it made me feel like I'm playing on PW3 Nightmare Log and the Classic DW games. Even when using the strongest characters like Kaido, I still feel like I had to be careful not to get cocky or I'll lose a lot of health and die. Wish I have friends who enjoy Warrior games :(
In a lot of ways I just wanted 4 to be like a DLC for 3. More characters, more maps, more of the new world story. Take what was good and give us more. Maybe we'll get DLC with East Blue saga, Skypeia, and more. But for now the amount of lost classic content doesn't feel very worth it to get 3 arcs that we didn't get in the last game (the actual dressrosa, whole cake, and part of wano)
same, i hope we get a lot of characters from the dlcs maybe 5 per pack, but i like the new ability system that lets you choose an attack and the burst mode is cool, kinda miss the thing in pw3 where it would combo the names of your attack and your teammates attack into one, to be honest it feels like they somewhat rushed it to capitalize on the popularity of the wano arc
Pirate Warriors 3 already did the whole One Piece story well enough for a Warriors type game. They really need to reinvent some aspects of the game to create something unique.
I played the hell out of pw3, trying to max all your characters and achieve s rank on every mission that's the real Challenge. Can't wait to play pw4 and do the same!
Very good game I’m agree with the review it’s super fun but the camera is to much glitchy sometime. But overall if u’re a fan of one piece and the muso game go for it ( still better than world seeker )
one piece pirate warriors 3 with the treasure events had a lot of re playability and i which that mechanic was in this game but i'm still hyped for this game
The treasure events are really the only reason why I played some characters, but in 4 there's nothing stopping me from just playing my best/favourite character and getting S
A C is a little low in my opinion. I'd give this game a solid B maybe an A. It's hands down 1 of the funnest games I've played in months. I've loved every second of it and I'm about 8 hours in.
This game is fucking amazing, the new mechanics really transformed this game a lot. Most musou games u can’t even jump let alone all the aerial combat u can do in this. It’s just so fun yo nothing complex or earth shattering. But it’s simply fun af ESPECIALLY if you’re a one piece fan must buy
Even worse are the musou games where you CAN jump but it's almost entirely useless! When there's almost no defensive options Omega Force tends to make enemies extremely passive to compensate. Maybe I'm missing something but base Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors really do seem a lot more mindless than the ones where you at least have an evade option.
I just finished pirate warriors 3 because I just passed dressrosa on the anime. Currently playing pirate warriors 4, but avoiding anything post Dressrosa. I think its a fun way to play the game: watch the arc first then play it on pirate warriors 4. Treasure log is also PACKED with missions to do.
@@zehnpie 1. Hesitant about buying the newest One Piece game. 2. Have you bought any of the Manga volumes? 3. Have you bought any One Piece merchandise?
everybody has those mini emotes like luffy, sabo and ace wearing the hat on and off, franky changing the hair style i think, robin wearing a glasses same thing for nami i think, and others just do some mini action emotes just for taunts.
This actually seems like a LESSER game than Pirate Warriors 3 except with a few more characters. Pirate Warriors 3 had ALL the story arcs up until the second half of Dressrosa, its Dream Log also incorporated a board-game-like scenario where you picked a character and went through a One Piece journey of your own, challenging more difficult scenarios until you found One Piece. How do you produce a sequel with LESS content? Granted, Pirate Warriors 3 was huge but still... Doesn't sound like something that's worth full price
Not exactly. Sure, Pirate Warriors 3 did have "all the arcs", but a good portion of the time they felt rushed. More complex arcs like Alabasta had one mission with almost every single story element awkwardly squeezed in. Ace was not present for the Battle at Alubarna, and shoving him into it felt weird. Pirate Warriors 3's combat was also more lack luster, with there being no aerial combat at all in PW3. The addition of aerial combat in PW4 allows for every single character to essentially have two movesets, and it also makes the gameplay feel more dynamic.
@@delta-3856 The only thing missing from PW4 is the team combos (Kizuna Attacks). I don't understand why they took it out. Why even have allies if you can't use them?
@@i-wall9942 There's just a lot more action with each individual character now. With two movesets and four specials, I honestly don't see where the allied help can fit in without feeling too over saturated.
He’s talking about storm games fa sho when comparing graphics maybe 50/50. Also as someone who loves Anime games especially Bandai namco . Anthem is up there. Story is short and post game with a friend is too much fun. Love you glob
This game looks fun as a good "podcast" game, and it seems like Its on the better end of the warriors games but as someone who doesn't have too much of an interest in One Piece I probably won't pick it up at it's full price. Good review!!
@@swervoo9197 It is a good anime but it has the same problem DBZ and Naruto had, there's WAY too much filler which makes a good portion of your first watch kind of tedious and boring to watch. I'm not saying it's a bad anime, I love One Piece, but I can see how it is intimidating for new viewers, its definitely not for everyone
Kado Harp If people read the manga , they wouldn’t complain as much. The filler can be great addition at times , and one can just simply skip the filler arcs if any. One Piece hardly has filler arcs..
This game is absolutely brilliantly amazingly awesome I am so hooked on this game it's unbelievable it's very addictive I'm very happy with this game for everybody that sees this comment it's going to give you good luck🍀🍀🍀 have a great day and stay safe out there
Hey, great review. a simple question I have: if I buy the standart edition, do I get access to those 9 extra characters eventually? or deluxe is the ONLY way to play with them?
The only 2 things that annoy me are 1. The characters that have a weakness to "Women" (The notice was thrown at me when I tried to select Sanji for the first mission), and the fact that the technique fighters feel underpowered - although that may be down to the fact that they can only fight from a ranged distance
i hope treasure log gets co-op. my sib used to grind this game to get a max law bc thats their fav character from the show. Some of the logs required are VERY HARD. one requires you to do multiple things at once, all of them being tough enemies.
@@herothinker4846 they're two different games, i enjoy pirate warriors 4 more because im a one piece fan and i liked playing pirate warriors 3 , my hero ones justice is clunky imo
I haven’t played Ones Justice 2, but i did play the first Ones Justice, fun game, but honestly, That game was “way” more repetitive than Pirate warriors 3 ever was, and not repetitive in a Positive way either, PW3 i could play hours on end, and have been since release, i already got PW4 and it actually beats PW3 already, but from what i see, Ones Justice 2 is just a Updated expansion of the previous game, rather a actual new supplement and sequel
This game is okay. It feels hollow. I would recommend the 3rd one but the only problem i had with 3 was getting the “!” Was tedious. Im having fun currently, anyone wanna play hmu ps4
@@johnkernelle The bosses divided in phases with different gimmicks in each phase and with Quick time events between them, per example arlong first phase is a normal fight while his second phase Arlong hides in the water and you have to counter attack him,then you have to ascend the tower to have the final fight. Also there was a quick time event when you have to mash a button after every fight to defeat the boss.. so yeah they were pretty good
I’m tryna get this game but Im not that far. I just finished the fish man island arc. I know his game has other arcs that I’ve finished like Alabasta and enies Lobby. Should I get it now?
For me its C - because it took them four years to develop a game in which important characters and arcs are missing and outfits are not updated. In addition to that , a lot of musics and cute scenes are from the previous games and graphics are just okay so what did they do during four years ?
I only want to play this game because I played the previous Warriors and had local co-op with my cousin. I want to relive that experience with my lil bro this time, but I don't know if this has local co-op.
I love dynasty warriors and I saw this game and thought it look sick asf ion watch one piece but this game makes me wanna watch it I just bought this game I like it and I would recommend it it’s actually fun man
I actually just got this game and play it on mouse and keyboard. I’m not gonna lie the camera issues aren’t a problem for me because it’s so quick to turn around at a whim with the mouse.
I think this is better than my heros ones justice 2. Looks like they changed how to play it , unlike heros justice 2 which they just added some new characters and called it a day.
I think with my first 2 hours I enjoy it! I played the 3rd one which I love but camera angle wish it was slightly better without pressing L1 repeatedly
I wanna get this game but I haven’t finsihed one piece. So I wanna know if you can pick out arcs to play in the game without having spoilers to other arcs or stuff that has happened
Disappointed with the review, I've played 1-3 and never really had any camera issues to speak of, I guess this genre definitely isn't for everyone but I think it deserves better than a C. Still great review globku and I'm happy to know there's so much improvement to character variety and progression. My brother and I will no doubt co-op this one together just like the others lol, I've got my dream partner for this adventure.
Musou games are a guilty pleasure of mine, just quick, simple, good, addictive fun, like the fast food of video games.
DIOOOOOOOO
I’m loving this game rn the new mechanic make it even more addictive
are there any more like bleach soul resurreccion when it comes to game play

Overall I think the pirate warrior games are the best musou games, I spent tons of time playing pirate warriors 3 and got excited every time I unlocked a new character to wreck waves of enemies with. Using the one piece universe was the best idea ever.
Looks very good! Now let's see Omega Force make Sailor Moon Warriors! :)
Treasure Log in PW4 is surprisingly hard for me, it made me feel like I'm playing on PW3 Nightmare Log and the Classic DW games. Even when using the strongest characters like Kaido, I still feel like I had to be careful not to get cocky or I'll lose a lot of health and die.
Wish I have friends who enjoy Warrior games :(
In a lot of ways I just wanted 4 to be like a DLC for 3. More characters, more maps, more of the new world story. Take what was good and give us more. Maybe we'll get DLC with East Blue saga, Skypeia, and more. But for now the amount of lost classic content doesn't feel very worth it to get 3 arcs that we didn't get in the last game (the actual dressrosa, whole cake, and part of wano)
same, i hope we get a lot of characters from the dlcs maybe 5 per pack, but i like the new ability system that lets you choose an attack and the burst mode is cool, kinda miss the thing in pw3 where it would combo the names of your attack and your teammates attack into one, to be honest it feels like they somewhat rushed it to capitalize on the popularity of the wano arc
Holy shit that Crocodile defeating Luffy cutscene really was great
I just want a Shinobi striker style one piece game or quartet nights style
These characters look terrifying .
😂 The art style is often a deal breaker for people interested in reading the series.
Seeing Smoker being part of the Straw Hats crew is something everyone wants to be canon lol.
Pirate Warriors 3 already did the whole One Piece story well enough for a Warriors type game. They really need to reinvent some aspects of the game to create something unique.
I played the hell out of pw3, trying to max all your characters and achieve s rank on every mission that's the real Challenge. Can't wait to play pw4 and do the same!
Very good game I’m agree with the review it’s super fun but the camera is to much glitchy sometime. But overall if u’re a fan of one piece and the muso game go for it ( still better than world seeker )
one piece pirate warriors 3 with the treasure events had a lot of re playability and i which that mechanic was in this game but i'm still hyped for this game
The treasure events are really the only reason why I played some characters, but in 4 there's nothing stopping me from just playing my best/favourite character and getting S
A C is a little low in my opinion. I'd give this game a solid B maybe an A. It's hands down 1 of the funnest games I've played in months. I've loved every second of it and I'm about 8 hours in.
This game is fucking amazing, the new mechanics really transformed this game a lot. Most musou games u can’t even jump let alone all the aerial combat u can do in this. It’s just so fun yo nothing complex or earth shattering. But it’s simply fun af ESPECIALLY if you’re a one piece fan must buy
Even worse are the musou games where you CAN jump but it's almost entirely useless! When there's almost no defensive options Omega Force tends to make enemies extremely passive to compensate. Maybe I'm missing something but base Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors really do seem a lot more mindless than the ones where you at least have an evade option.
I just finished pirate warriors 3 because I just passed dressrosa on the anime. Currently playing pirate warriors 4, but avoiding anything post Dressrosa. I think its a fun way to play the game: watch the arc first then play it on pirate warriors 4. Treasure log is also PACKED with missions to do.
Just got it on sale for 32 for the deluxe edition glad I came here for thr review can't wait til it finishes downloading in a half hour
I’m a really big one piece fun who’s up to Date With the Anime but I’m still unsure about buying pirate warriors 4
Im playing it and believe me, you just cant put the controller down
Zehn Then you aren't really a "big" One Piece fan.
Not worth it
SKP_Yeouiju how am I not ?????.
@@zehnpie
1. Hesitant about buying the newest One Piece game.
2. Have you bought any of the Manga volumes?
3. Have you bought any One Piece merchandise?
Does applying the skill points to the tree still apply if you’re not using the character? Like it’s an cpu during a mission?
not that I've seen
I most definitely buying this game, Not only I am a one piece fan but I have all of OPW games a must have. Soon will be part of my collection.
I started watching watching one piece so I’ll probably get this game once I get farther into the anime
Dude this game is so fast as so fun i love this game so far holy crap
Ive always debated on one piece games. I heard they werent good but im glad i found this video. I might give it a chance . Itll be my first musou game
I actually came to see if I just wanted to buy the game...
I stuck around after hearing a few constructive feedback - solid review
Not really super interested in the genre but I love One Piece so I guess I might pick it up when it's on sale. Thanks for the indepth review
Hey guys, on ps4 press the right arrow on the controller with zoro to put on/off his bandana :) (sorry for my English I'm french)
everybody has those mini emotes like luffy, sabo and ace wearing the hat on and off, franky changing the hair style i think, robin wearing a glasses same thing for nami i think, and others just do some mini action emotes just for taunts.
First time i finished a Game review, Good Review, keep it up.
Globku u got good skill the game just came out and u already know almost everything. That's astonishing
I got persona 5 royal instead was that a good Choice
Yes
Dominance Ingram I’m a fan of both
Yes
Definitely, a better game for sure
This actually seems like a LESSER game than Pirate Warriors 3 except with a few more characters. Pirate Warriors 3 had ALL the story arcs up until the second half of Dressrosa, its Dream Log also incorporated a board-game-like scenario where you picked a character and went through a One Piece journey of your own, challenging more difficult scenarios until you found One Piece. How do you produce a sequel with LESS content? Granted, Pirate Warriors 3 was huge but still... Doesn't sound like something that's worth full price
It's actually more. Less arcs, but the arcs have more missions to play.
Ivan Waller True. Story is way longer than pw3
Not exactly. Sure, Pirate Warriors 3 did have "all the arcs", but a good portion of the time they felt rushed. More complex arcs like Alabasta had one mission with almost every single story element awkwardly squeezed in. Ace was not present for the Battle at Alubarna, and shoving him into it felt weird. Pirate Warriors 3's combat was also more lack luster, with there being no aerial combat at all in PW3. The addition of aerial combat in PW4 allows for every single character to essentially have two movesets, and it also makes the gameplay feel more dynamic.
@@delta-3856 The only thing missing from PW4 is the team combos (Kizuna Attacks). I don't understand why they took it out. Why even have allies if you can't use them?
@@i-wall9942 There's just a lot more action with each individual character now. With two movesets and four specials, I honestly don't see where the allied help can fit in without feeling too over saturated.
He’s talking about storm games fa sho when comparing graphics maybe 50/50. Also as someone who loves Anime games especially Bandai namco . Anthem is up there. Story is short and post game with a friend is too much fun. Love you glob
Thanks for the review! I think you were a bit tough on the ranking. I would say either C+ or B- however the points you made were informative.
This game looks fun as a good "podcast" game, and it seems like Its on the better end of the warriors games but as someone who doesn't have too much of an interest in One Piece I probably won't pick it up at it's full price. Good review!!
Brandon P. One piece is a fire ass anime bro
@@swervoo9197 It is a good anime but it has the same problem DBZ and Naruto had, there's WAY too much filler which makes a good portion of your first watch kind of tedious and boring to watch. I'm not saying it's a bad anime, I love One Piece, but I can see how it is intimidating for new viewers, its definitely not for everyone
Kado Harp If people read the manga , they wouldn’t complain as much. The filler can be great addition at times , and one can just simply skip the filler arcs if any. One Piece hardly has filler arcs..
Roberto Santibanez This. Google for a list of filler episodes and skip them. Easy problem solved
I think saying gimmicks is a bit of an understatement for how unique all the character feel.
Customizing text options or disabling text options needs to become a common thing in games.
Imagine a one piece 2D fighter or arena fighter.
Eddie Champ imagine a jstars version of marvel vs capcom 2
Pass.
Burning Blood is an arena fighter.
Full Metal J-rocker I mean a new one and a good one
Lol y’all forgot about grand battle
This game is absolutely brilliantly amazingly awesome I am so hooked on this game it's unbelievable it's very addictive I'm very happy with this game for everybody that sees this comment it's going to give you good luck🍀🍀🍀 have a great day and stay safe out there
Hey, great review. a simple question I have: if I buy the standart edition, do I get access to those 9 extra characters eventually? or deluxe is the ONLY way to play with them?
That's what I want to know.
The only 2 things that annoy me are 1. The characters that have a weakness to "Women" (The notice was thrown at me when I tried to select Sanji for the first mission), and the fact that the technique fighters feel underpowered - although that may be down to the fact that they can only fight from a ranged distance
i hope treasure log gets co-op. my sib used to grind this game to get a max law bc thats their fav character from the show. Some of the logs required are VERY HARD. one requires you to do multiple things at once, all of them being tough enemies.
Great review. That being said, how is My Hero One's Justice 2 better than Pirate Warriors 4?
one is as an arena fighter, the other is a Beat'em up
@@Zaid-dp8sf That explains nothing. Care to elaborate?
@@herothinker4846 they're two different games, i enjoy pirate warriors 4 more because im a one piece fan and i liked playing pirate warriors 3 , my hero ones justice is clunky imo
I haven’t played Ones Justice 2, but i did play the first Ones Justice, fun game, but honestly, That game was “way” more repetitive than Pirate warriors 3 ever was, and not repetitive in a Positive way either, PW3 i could play hours on end, and have been since release, i already got PW4 and it actually beats PW3 already, but from what i see, Ones Justice 2 is just a Updated expansion of the previous game, rather a actual new supplement and sequel
@@MonsterZeroLITE u guys should check out a youtuber called "Some Zero's Hero", he makes OJ2 gameplay videos and he makes the game look super fun
how would you rate it compared to PW3?
Question did they improve frankie and chopper there the worst in pw3 and i like them as characters so I'd like to know if they got better in this game
I’m going home to play this now
Yo glob whats ya thoughts on adult naruto i think he may have shifted the meta he goes amazing with cĺaws and the rasengan rampage is op
This game is okay. It feels hollow. I would recommend the 3rd one but the only problem i had with 3 was getting the “!” Was tedious. Im having fun currently, anyone wanna play hmu ps4
make boss battles like naruto storm games that'll also be a great step towards bettering this game.
The online never let's me host
So I can't even play with friends I always have to join a random lobby
Trust me when I say this... your not the only one. It's a wholeeeee lot of people
Ii so apparently if you have anyone on your block list you cannot make a lobby. It's so weird
I never even tried online on pw3 . Where do you join a lobby ?
Finally Gintoki can be the king of pirates
The best overall experience in the series YES , the best boss fights of the series NO , PW1 bosses , I miss ya...
I miss the quick time events so much
can you please tell me, how does the bosses in pw1 differ from this? havent played it
@@johnkernelle The bosses divided in phases with different gimmicks in each phase and with Quick time events between them, per example arlong first phase is a normal fight while his second phase Arlong hides in the water and you have to counter attack him,then you have to ascend the tower to have the final fight.
Also there was a quick time event when you have to mash a button after every fight to defeat the boss.. so yeah they were pretty good
@@penpen1089 thanks
I’m tryna get this game but Im not that far. I just finished the fish man island arc. I know his game has other arcs that I’ve finished like Alabasta and enies Lobby. Should I get it now?
Best part of this game is any cut scene with Robin
For me its C - because it took them four years to develop a game in which important characters and arcs are missing and outfits are not updated. In addition to that , a lot of musics and cute scenes are from the previous games and graphics are just okay so what did they do during four years ?
I assume they were developing other games.
Ogre Seems like you don't know how much time it takes to create games.
Did he play pirate warriors 3? I was wondering because a lot of them play the exact same from 3 but it’s great
I only want to play this game because I played the previous Warriors and had local co-op with my cousin. I want to relive that experience with my lil bro this time, but I don't know if this has local co-op.
Yes, it has local coop indeed
I love dynasty warriors and I saw this game and thought it look sick asf ion watch one piece but this game makes me wanna watch it I just bought this game I like it and I would recommend it it’s actually fun man
great review! cheers!
If they added that pvp mode it would’ve went crazy
I actually just got this game and play it on mouse and keyboard. I’m not gonna lie the camera issues aren’t a problem for me because it’s so quick to turn around at a whim with the mouse.
Its bandai published, nuff said
I think this is better than my heros ones justice 2. Looks like they changed how to play it , unlike heros justice 2 which they just added some new characters and called it a day.
still don’t have day one bonus. missing early vinsmoke release and also costumes for law and hancock. unless i’m the only one?
Do you have it now?
Glad to hear that the game is good.
World Seeker is way better
Sam Tj ew world sucks
@@samtj3349 opinions lol
I think with my first 2 hours I enjoy it! I played the 3rd one which I love but camera angle wish it was slightly better without pressing L1 repeatedly
I wanna get this game but I haven’t finsihed one piece. So I wanna know if you can pick out arcs to play in the game without having spoilers to other arcs or stuff that has happened
As a Warriors fan an easy B for me. The gameplay and maps are better than ever before.
Still come back to this game regularly. It's so much fun. Definitely my favourite anime game.
last time i played Dynasty Warriors 8 I put it on easy mode and took out so many people and it was fun so im going to get this game
We need a burning blood 2
Tevin Ssj7 I would love to play it
Disappointed with the review, I've played 1-3 and never really had any camera issues to speak of, I guess this genre definitely isn't for everyone but I think it deserves better than a C. Still great review globku and I'm happy to know there's so much improvement to character variety and progression. My brother and I will no doubt co-op this one together just like the others lol, I've got my dream partner for this adventure.
