No, it's because DW in particular is a very peculiar franchise in what actually changes between entries. It's like the windows OS of video games that way.
tl;dr is the older the entry, the better the map design and more complex/challenging the stage flow, but the worse visuals, fewer enemies, and simpler mechanics. Petering out around the time you get to Orochi 2, where KT just threw all their eggs in fucking around with the gameplay, but fired everyone involved in stage design except one lone intern with a cheatsheet.
Because of that, every game hits differently depending on your preferences. Even 6, which is regarded pretty poorly for the most part, has cook shit in it that was either unique to that game or rarely used later. Not even getting into strange shit like strikeforce.

My least favorite entries in the series are all the ones that use rock-paper-scissors combat where you have to swap out your character or weapon to beat the enemy's element
It completely invalidates the entire rest of the combat system, which is to say the majority of the gameplay

I don't think there as mindless as people say. Especially not on higher difficulties. And I won't pretend the newer games didn't kind of gut the challenge of it for greater crowd spectacle. But It always sort of came off as unfair when I hear people degenerate these games for stuff that honestly applies to a lot of games or is otherwise the main point.

For how simple the game is, it's pretty god damn confusing going into it.
Constant popups about engagements I don't know if I need to care about, morale going up and down for both the enemy and me, a block that doesn't seem to block, no camera control despite coming out in two thousand fucking five. Oh no, they unleashed Lu Bu, what shall I do? Genuinely, what the fuck shall I do, the only option I think is available to me is to blast down the objective officer as quick as possible because I will get flattened by Lu Bu when he eventually makes his way over here, hope I can shit out Musou attacks long enough to abuse the invincibility and that he doesn't block or I'm going to need to restart the map. What do your allied officers even do? The peons and named officers literally just stand there doing nothing, Is there even a story? These three missions are all over the place and I don't think this cutscene is even applicable to this character, whose side am I even on? Did I start with the wrong character? Why the fuck am I holding a baby, when did I get a baby and where the hell am I, who are these people?

Also needing to follow Chinese names is spinning me in circles.
>Long Dong, the lord of the Ding Dong province, his officers included Xi Lingdong, Pu Daeux, Xing Xong, Xip Piyon, Roberto Luongo, Luing Xipingzhang, Pupu Pratter, Ziang Ziong Li Xi Pung, and Jackie Chan
>Okay, now onto the next lord, only 15 more to go. All of the officers are going to have minor interactions with each other by the way.

3 and 4 were better. 3 is better to me, but 4 has its own unique aspects that make it stand out. SW2 Empires is the best game in the series, though. Only issue is game balance. You can become too powerful, whereas the upper limit of 3 and 4 is very balanced compared to the one-shot faggotry and DPS arms race that 5 introduced.

The big thing about Kingdom that I would like to see in a future Warriors games is how the actual troops on the field matter
Even DW games that have high crowd density still allow you to complete ignore normal dudes and they don't have real impact on your battle progress
Random troops in Kingdom are weak as hell but if a commander runs out of troops he's lost all the same (not counting Houken or Riboku because they're cheating)

DW9 is insanely ambitious for a dev team that clearly never had the resources to pull throw, reworked combat, an open world while also trying to keep every single character playable.

I still think if they just focused it down to a single character they would of been able to make a good game out of it, especially since alot of the ideas about the dynamic battles and having to pick and choose what objectives to complete before the main battle seem like they would of worked if they had more time.

Its because the combat system was most improved with this game going by the PS2 games only. With DW6 they reinvented the characters and tried to do a massive shift in the formula that didn't end well. Fans mostly disliked that game. If you played from the second game to this one then you can clearly see that DW5's combat did seem to be the most refined.

However its difficulty balance isn't as solid as the previous games either. You can play chaos mode but that basically feels like a purposefully hard difficulty mode. Not necessarily a balanced one. DW3 on the harder difficulties can get pretty intense with the archers. Its combat though is not as refined since the officers will lock into place as you combo rather than allowing you to freely move between enemies as you combo like in DW5.

So hopefully that explains things for people who actually care and are interested. I recommend all the PS2 DW games except for 6.

Is Origins at least good? Seems like the game came out to a surprisingly positive reception that the series hasn't had in a long time only for it to be forgotten again by anyone not a long time fan. Its the most interested I have been in the series in a long time but I can't lie, the original character doesn't really do it for me all too much.

I think it's just unsustainability of it. Dynasty Warriors alone is at 100+ characters now. Every single one of those needs model and animation for generation jumping games. If you look at 6 and 9 there are clear cut corners with clones, removal of weapons, etc. Which is why I think Origins was the correct choice as it lays the groundwork for the eventually 10 release.

Then they just fucking neutered it completely and forced you into one single path of levels and it never recovered from that.

because everything became more expensive to develop so anything optional got cut. I stil think dw8xlce is absolute king of how much shit comes in the box. only hyrule warriors de can match it.

While I do understand the cost issue involved in this, I also think that ends up saying a lot more about the game industry as a whole. The PS2 era of game development really was that sweet spot of where technology improved to look nice but also to where it's development costs weren't so outrageous. Smaller budgeted games could thrive and actually pad out their titles.

Why the fuck is this a thing? Just make a fucking half decent model, then just keep iterating on it. Fucking retarded japs throwing the entire fucking codebase out every time they develop a new game, probably deleting the fucking source code like square enix does.

It seems like it shouldn't have to be. But everyone both audiences and publishers want too much. This is kind of what that fuss was back when people were suggesting that not every game should be Baldur's Gate 3. Retards ran with the wrong assumption but the bottom line is that while games should always strive their best not every game is going to be able to match the same level. It's a wonder why we even have smaller studios still. Honestly I hope that Expectation 33 game ends up being a huge wake up call.

Generational jumps happen, but some changes within the same generation are absolute wastes of money and just giving artists something to do. For example, this is Cao Cao from 6, 7 and 8.

I do want to applaud them for changing character designs instead of copy pasting them but I do feel like not only is it a waste of money but a lot of the fanbase probably wouldn't mind. Hell I suspect a lot of them tend to switch back to older costumes anyways.

DW5 is simply quantity over quality more enemies on screen dumber AI. A lot of the negative trends in the series started here including some bad characters like the guan kids.

The best map design is DW3 and best gameplay is 4, as long you play with the cheat/mod that removes the forced lock-on.

I feel like they could probably pull in extra development revenue if they just released their old titles. Honestly how hard would it be to toss the older games up on the digital store front, throw a mediocre HD filter on it FF8 style and get some extra cash. Hell we never got a port of the non Wii version of Samurai 3

True except for 2 , which is worse than 3.

A good thing. Having to fight small squads of unique ranks beats a 100 peon's surrounding and dancing around you.
>and simpler mechanics
A good thing since every new entry goes hard into grind mechanics making the games a hassle to play. 4 started that shit with the level up of weapons and it only got worse.

I do feel like the latter games get too lost in the 1 v 1000 thing. Having a 1000 kos used to feel like a big deal. Now you basically just have hordes of mobs who stand around gawking.

Even worse is the fact they never changed peon aggression timers from the ps2 era. So you get surrounded by 500+ enemies, one hits you every 30+seconds while everybody else is just dancing with their weapon or circling you.
It looks ridiculous.

Gameplay-wise it's way ahead the previous entries. Combat strikes an excellent balance between traditional "delete thousands in one combo" and more precise and deliberate elements like dodging and parrying and utilizing martial arts well.
Visuals are also really good, more interactive world map is a cool addition.
There are some cons too obviously. OC main character is hit or miss and his "personal story" sucks balls. "Bond events" with other characters can be gay as fuck (yes they obviously want fujo audience), there is barely any girls too. Story only covers about ~half of Three Kingdoms story, though that's understandable because latter half of RoTK is kinda meh. And finally some of the non-historical routes' story bits are extremely lame and underwhelming.
Overall would recommend.

DW7 - looks like someone poured vaseline all over the characters. Dunno if that's normal. Really ugly game in general.

DW8 - PS3 port. Ugly textures. Ugly shadows. Ugly contrast. Ugly special effects. Ugly draw distance. SHIT SHIT SHIT port that looks much worse than PS4 version.

DW9 - game runs poorly across the platforms. It's not port specific, the game is shit coded. Ugly game in general, headache to even pirate.

DWO - runs well, looks great, superior to PS5 since it has Chinese dub option unlike the PS5. Miraculously fine port considering it's a next gen game with tinkered engine.

SW4-II - like DW8 it's a PS3 port but it looks EVEN WORSE. Very ugly game, the ugliest fucking KT Steam game. Even uglier textures, and SFX and draw distance etc. Looks washed out, gray and bleak as opposed to oversaturated dark DW8 port, funnily enough. Both shit in their own way.

SW Spirit of Sanada - First KT musou PS4 port. Looks good but it's unoptimized and it raped people's PCs when it launched. Partially because it was an unoptimized next-gen port and partially because people expected to run it easily like SW4-II which was a PS3 version. Runs normally now though.

SW4DX - Good port. PS4 version. Looks nice. Well optimized. To be expected since it's the latest Musou port that was 5 years late. Better late than never though. Shadowdropped out of nowhere - wish they'd do the same to DW8XL.

SW5 - Fine port from what I see. Runs fine. Faggot ass game though.

WO3 - Didn't hear any complaints but I didn't really check up on it. Dunno what version even is.

WO4 - Good port. Optimized. Runs well, looks great..

Dunno about DW8 Empires but DW9 Empires is chuggy and ugly like the vanilla.
Dunno about anime Musou either. Arslan is supposedly a PS4 version but it ran like ass on launch.

That's it for Steam ports? Pre-Steam WO1, SW2 and DW6 are even worse ports that can't even be played on modern systems - you need to emulate them.

Holy shit WHAT the fuck is this? Are they RETARDED? Bro WHEN did this happen? WHY? I had NO idea dude and I actually play this slop. It flew completely under my radar. So it's a Switch port but then later got ported? But is it the next-gen PS4/Xbone version? Youtube videos are all muddy Switch footage so I can't tell from my shit ass phone.

Bro I hate KT so much it's unreal I wish I could hate them into liquidation and bankruptcy. You know one of those surreal moments that just stunlock you in real life? This is beyond bizarre, even for these morons. And "Definitive Edition" is on sale right now for 15 bucks on Microsoft store but the Steam "Complete Edition" WITH SEPARATE DLCs amounts to 95 bucks even WITH the current discount?
