That's my footage, I covered our preview where Lu Bu beat me there but I've gotten my revenge now!, I am intending to do the review but it all depends on workloads when this rolls out in January.
@@jadarina5035You’re awesome wtf, the words Hero Mode and Lu Bu shouldn’t even be put on the same screen…Maajor kudos to you cause I would’ve folded after that first hit
@@chocahulic yeah it was a struggle at first because he would kill me in 1 or 2 hits and they close off other areas so I couldn't even go back for healing I just had to grit my teeth, learn his patterns and take him down.
These staff member are usually the ones that do reviews but yet when they don’t give the best score becaue of an some valid reason, people will still blame IGN for not knowing anything about video games and mock them.
I like the fact that this game has evolved. It's not just a hack-and-slash game anymore; now, it has abilities and dodges that we can strategically execute. This game will be fire!!!!
It’s about damn time, I’ve been put off on Dynasty Warriors series for a long time because they just kind of rehashed the same hack and slash gameplay loop over and over with just minor additions… But this looks legitimately fun and challenging
This is what I wanted all along. I've took breaks from the series because the DMC games scratched the itch for a skilled based hack n slash but now this is something I can come back to. I can play the old ones if I wanna turn off my brain again
It’s so crazy how it started as a sort of soul caliber style game, grew into a hack and slash, added tactical, Risk™ style mechanics to each generation’s releases, to whatever DW9 was, and now this?? Dude I’m so stoked for this one, and the English dub being a thing this time is just icing on the cake!
Dynasty warriors 3 was my favourite back in the days, played it a ridiculous amount of times, I love the combat shift in this one, the hack and slash is still there, but the abilities and blocking/dodging makes it more engaging and fun! Good job 👏
@@jadarina5035. 5 was my favorite. Then you get into the Warriors Orochi games and that’s where it takes off. Dynasty warriors 8 for ps3 is really good to. Don’t buy the ones for ps4.
4xl was me and my best friend’s favorite. Then I discovered the Empires versions of the games and got dw5e, loved dw8e, dw9e was alright, but this one looks awesome. I hope they make an Empires version of it.
Great job! This one took me a good few goes myself too before I learned the new mechanics and his patterns. It feels great when you have learned the boss and can eventually crush it. Just like any good action combat boss fight, everything feels unfair until you realize it isn't and do the right thing to counter each move. Truly a great showcase fight and has already made me much more excited for this title than I already was. (I would prefer a good co-op one but oh well)
Genuinely excited for this game. I've been a huge fan of the Dynasty Warriors series since DW2 on the PS2 - loved it! This is a fantastic improvement to the series. Roll on release!!!
A lot of of us ogs fans wanted a harder difficulty for Dw and bodyguards that actually mattered like in Dw3/4 and this game gave us that people don’t know how hard that was lol lubu is actually menacing
Im a die-hard dw fan. Been playing this series since dw2 back in the early 2000s and every sequel since. Genuinely enjoyed the mindless hack and slash but dw9 really blew it for me. I've played the demo and absolutely love it! It still has the hack and slash elements but they cranked up the difficulty and implementing more strategies to make the game more interactive is so awesome! I really hope this does well!!
DW seems like it's finally finding its footing and applying other Koei Tecmo difficulty they've had with Nioh and other stuff into it because even on Normal the armies and especially the generals aren't pushovers and will kick your butt if you just mash attack buttons. Its really good to see.
This is something like prototype for next warriors game. Imagine full roster of Dynasty Warriors 10 or Samurai Warriors 6 like this, even Warriors Orochi 5🔥🔥🔥
not as strong as Bayonetta Witch Time from what i've seen so far but there may be skills to close the gap and make it closer. But yeah perfect dodges feel great in this game.
Sorta, perfect dodge and perfect blocks (parry) feel great. Perfect dodges allow you to dodge forever (regular dodges capped out at 2 and has a short cool down)
This was a frustrating fight with keyboard and mouse. Just needing to take off my hand off my mouse to heal with up arrow button killed me many times. Props to the player, hoping they review the game on release.
@jadarina5035 Never knew a controller's the most efficient way to play it. Plus, my last warriors game was orochi 2 on the psp, so I was also a bit rusty lol.
If you've never played a dynasty warrior game and saw this gameplay and thought the combat looks interesting and you're gonna play it. Well, there's more to the gameplay than just action combat, you might be struggling like a certain baldie even though you got no problem with its combat. 😂
lowkey not a fan of the new voices, Love how Lu Bu still has is OG in game voice, but the gameplay and graphics look incredible. Hopefully this revives a long time favorite series of mine!
Never played a Dynasty Warriors (proper) game. This might be the first if it's as good as it seems. Regardless, hopefully the next Pirate Warriors game looks something like this. That old engine just needs to go
Nothing that I could control just what was built in demo wise, I think you automatically regenerate health when at a critical level below 10% or something like that, and you lifesteal during musou rage(full gauge click in both sticks) but that might only activate during an assault attack from breaking an enemies guard.
@@jadarina5035 From what I can tell, all damage you deal while in War God Rage (full musou gauge thumbstick click activation) leeches health back to you. It's a great panic button. Excellent gameplay as well, by the way! Can't wait for the full release.
Since always, this is example 1000 of the thousands of times we excel, bad actors in the industry like to take one or two bad examples and blow it out of proportion 😅 but thank you for the backhanded compliment on my gameplay anyways 😊. Also not a knock on you directly just tired of false stereotypes being pervasive in the industry.
I’d probably wait till they make an empires game! I do not like this character at all! And we cannot customize our characters appearance such as body armor and helmet as well! The game is dope! It’s just the character looks goofy looken! I like my character look like an actual warrior with armor will see what happens down the road I’m hopping they do make an empires game When I first seen the trailer I was so hyped! And excited until I found out ahead a time we cannot customize our characters appearance that’s what killed it all! But other than that the game is super dope! I just don’t see my self playing it for so long with this so called protagonist! Smh 🤦♂️ idk who the hell this dude even is! I give this game a 3 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Struggling to understand this game. There's lots of ADS and then they're basically forcing people to only fight generals because the enemy ADS don't do anything. I have always found Hyrule Warriors so much more engaging in almost every way and I still haven't even beat a single Zelda game. So don't say i'm some Zelda fanboy because I've tried replaying the zelda n64 games countless times and I can't get engaged with it but I feel Hyrule Warriors just makes the game more engaging because of ADS actually having more fundamentals. You take out the ADS and realistically Dynasty Warriors is a Souls-Like. Is that why people loved OG Zelda and not Hyrule Warriors?
Oh there are tons of regular enemies in the level, this is a special fight that activates after you finish the stage that I cut out of my footage to showcase the finer details of combat (and my skill)
its always been like that for the dynasty warriors games. iirc only hyrule warriors and fire emblem warriors have the more aggressive enemies on normal difficulty. also this was just the demo, the final game could change
Have you played the demo? He wipes out all the generals and a few hits kills you, plus he's got a special grab that can one-shot you. I just think this player is built different lmao
Like @pinocchiofilms says most hit from Lu Bu is anywhere from 30-50% hp from what I recall in my attempts where I died. And he literally one shots generals. I got lucky the one hit I took didn't kill me.
I feel like this Lu Bu fight is way easier than in any other Dynasty Warriors game. I remember him being almost impossible to stagger, always in Musou Rage mode, and if you blocked his attacks for too long-especially the ones with the dark lightning effects-it would break your block, stagger you, and then he'd just kill you
To be fair, they are giving you new tools like dodge mechanics, perfect parry, and whatnot in this game which makes it a whole lot more fun. BUT if you do block too much, he will break your block, stagger or juggle you and than just kill you. THIS player is actually just doing a real good job, timing which attacks to block, dodging by a margin, and capitalizing on those opening. I couldn't beat this guy on HERO without strategizing my health items and retreating to bases to utilize the men there as a distraction.
@@pinocchiohero I used that strategy at first and then I was like ok I know his patterns now its time to take him down 1 on 1 minus the two tactics i used 🤫
Can this staff member be the one to review the game when it's out? Actually the first competent gameplay I've seen from a game journalist

Im digging it. The visuals and gameplay style with the lock on for the boss is clean. Definitely excited to learn more about it moving forward
As someone who foolishly persued Lu Bu even on Normal, kudos to you.
Thank you!!!
I like the fact that this game has evolved. It's not just a hack-and-slash game anymore; now, it has abilities and dodges that we can strategically execute. This game will be fire!!!!

There is a Dynasty Warriors 3 vibe to it and i love it !

Ahh the Lu Bu theme soundtrack…so much chills. I even listen to it when i’m working out 😮💨🔥
I must say, very impressive gameplay
THIS GAME NEEDS CUSTOM CHARACTER CREATION AND ONLINE CO-OP
This game gonna go hard...the music🔥
My old PTSD from Lu Bu in dynasty warriors 5 kicked into overdrive for this one 😂
I can tell he must have lost a few to Lu bu like the rest of us. Then it all comes together, made me actually love this entry.
this was so hard. how do you beat

Louie booboo is a legend yo. Bro lives forever because he runs 1000 miles a day and eats 1000 eggs a day. May he never stop. Chickens get to work!
Super exciting. I can't wait until it comes out
This game is looking perfect. I'm ready for release!
They cooked with the BGM
Not bad, worthy of standing before a gamer.
This is something like prototype for next warriors game. Imagine full roster of Dynasty Warriors 10 or Samurai Warriors 6 like this, even Warriors Orochi 5🔥🔥🔥
It’s a shame there’s no multiplayer on this game
Right. That's the only thing holding me back purchasing the game
Yea that’s the only feature I wish it had. Online co op and couch co op. Maybe they can add it into the game later?
Oh man I hope they make an origins empire because thos combat and strategic troop commands would make this addicting
Nice new lu bu theme
It's the only game when enemies never damage you
Better VA compared to DW9
rip to my guilty pleasure franchise since dw2
В DW были замечательные ролики
"ITS. LU BU! LU BU HAS COME TO DESTROY US!"
do not pursue LU BU
Nice gameplay!
Lu Bu почти такой же эпичный как Lu Bu из Wo long. Я бы хотел за такого сыграть)
2:53 is that a glitch? 🤔
In DW3, 4, and 5 Lu Bu does not flinch unless your character has certain stats to force him to on a specific difficulty?
Game looks good, but what happened to the voice actor for Lu Bu?
Wow i didn't know you could palm break him after a Dodge, that would have made it easier on hard
How the hell do swap characters on the ps portal
Lu Bu will always be the hardest boss! Would literally chase you down forwvwr if you killed his Dio Chan
Wow! I really struggled on this one, not gonna lie
Let's give it another 5 years for them to implement everything in this game (mechanic wise) to Warriors Orochi 5.
Amazing for😮 Journalist IGN Take responsibility higher hope when is release you are review perfect parry in all stage summary too..
See some of us at IGN can hang with the cool kids (secret is there are more than you think)
@jadarina5035 hope kingdom heart or any title review by kid like you too.. amazing skill and enjoyable content.. again Awesome IGN comeback..
@@yorefakuryuu2 Thanks i'll share that info with my bosses :P
only Lu bu can countered a counter
im playing this on easy mode and.. its really hard 😂😂
wth
@@kidrobot. its more look like wolong LOL in easy mode
Do NOT pursue Lu Bu!
But what if Lu Bu pursues you???
Legit interested, but i still think a lot of animations could use more frames
GG!
Aww its not og voice for lubu
I love it just can't afford sadly
Jada is that you? 😁
It is!!!
GG!!!!
🔥🔥
Wait, there's WITCH TIME in this game?!
not as strong as Bayonetta Witch Time from what i've seen so far but there may be skills to close the gap and make it closer. But yeah perfect dodges feel great in this game.

He doesnt have an og voice
Doesn’t look nearly as hard at his fight in 2 or 3
Killed me on ps2 dw5 chaos mode with Zou Ci and gameshark infinite health.
He looks easy here with the dodge.
Cant wait till Empires and Xtreme Legends DLC drops
I noticed you got hit.... And didn't put the controller down out of frustration of being 1 shotted...
This game is childs play compared to dw4xl
Never played a Dynasty Warriors (proper) game. This might be the first if it's as good as it seems. Regardless, hopefully the next Pirate Warriors game looks something like this. That old engine just needs to go
Play Pirate Warriors 4, if you already haven't. It's sort of the prototype for this, gamefeel-wise. Specifically the evade/dash mechanic.
Sadly they don't spent enough time and budget for anime games...
Finally. IGN staff who actually great at gaming
There’s more than you realize 😎 but yeah I’m here to make sure more people know that.
@@jadarina5035 great job! looking forward for more gameplay from you
WTF, how does he make this fight look so easy? I'd probably die like 10 times just trying to figure out how to beat this character🤕
I did it with years and years of practice my young padawan.
Noooo Jamieson price was a better VA whyyy
I’ve noticed that you have a lifesteal build any tips on how to get something like that?
Nothing that I could control just what was built in demo wise, I think you automatically regenerate health when at a critical level below 10% or something like that, and you lifesteal during musou rage(full gauge click in both sticks) but that might only activate during an assault attack from breaking an enemies guard.

Where the multi player ...the old version was having multi players
this is the new version
Cao Pi
IT'S LUI BU LOL HAHAHAHAH
Hey
they need to make Lu Bu harder in the full game.
its already have 😂
I imagine you’ll get to fight him multiple times at varying strengths.
what the hell...
damn lu bu got mollwhopped. maybe he was just harder because we were so young
koei can still run. 😑
Why are we playing as a skinny anime npc?! Where zhao yun and guan yu?!
They either weren’t in this mission or died in the battle I can’t recall off the top my head.
You can play them as companions, you are the wanderer. A mysterious guy with no memory.. think skyrim.
Why using other character weapon..this is guan yu weapon..why theres no main character original weapon..
Because this game is about freedom for whatever weapon you WANT to use.
Nah, lubu got nerfed so badly
He supposedly doesn't flinch when we hit him
You didnt play the game.
