Rather you gave us DW5...

[Platinumb]

I love the franchise but they just went downhill after 5 :'(

[󠀡󠀡DARKBLADEXE Ω]

8 is kind of 4 revived

7 is decent and gets rid of the bad taste that 6 gave

5 I remember being the one that pushed the PS2 to its limit but wasn't anything special compared to 3 or 4

[KomdivCCCP]

3 and 3xl was the best installments in my opinion.

[InfHor1Zy]

Agreed ! I owned DW5 PC retail version (name as Shin Sangokumusou 4), but it cannot run on windows 8, 8.1 and 10 due to the bloody out-dated DRM (SecDRV)

I hope DW3 and DW4 could be also re-released on steam. The enermy AI in DW3 and DW4 is pretty high even in the easy difficulty and more 'hard-core' oriented (esp DW3).

my first dw is dw8 on steam i love this game and buy this because i like to get back in time ^^
i would like to play Dynasty Warriors 6 Definitive Edition ^^

The games started to become too linear.

Corridor maps sheperding you down to the next event rather than DW3,4,5 with open maps.

[Helvetica]

5 was mediocre at best. Are you sure that's not just your nostalgia talking?

[Shadowraze]

i would love to get a realease of DW4 on steam played it so much back in the day

9 is 4 revived kiddo

[Knight of The Wind]

Not really chaps. 4 was kind of a prototype for 5. Like 7 was a prototype for 8.

[マイラ DEATHBRINGER]

9 is 9

9 is barely even a DW game idk what to consider it

[KomdivCCCP]

9 will be great if they will give it enough content and fix performance and bugs.

[BudgieBudgeBudge]

There is a Dynasty Warriors 5 PC port already floating around. Shoudltn be too hard for Koei to release it on Steam. However, I disagree with you on 5 being better than 7 and 8. 5 is fun, but the constant repeating of stages and characters living far beyond their actual life spans are big negatives for me.

[Platinumb]

I liked learning each characters personality more intimately doing a campaign, the rest all fell short for me with this.
9 (even though i 100% completed it) was just terribly bad.
I loved 8, it did everything well, though again i just preferred character stories over faction stories.
7 Was fine too, slightly worse than 8.
6 was better than 9 but tried changing to much of what was cool, replacing that with linearity and lame characters.

As i said, i loved five, it did everything so well - yes some repeated stages but they handled slightly differently depending on who you played. I also played for the story of the characters, less than the overall thing. I guess a downside was that they had to lose historical accuracy - which i get why people would dislike that... but i play romance of the three kingdoms for that - dynasty warriors is not historically accurate. It's an over the top action game.

4 was a masterpiece, i've played the hell out of it though so not much to say from me. STILL prefer 5.

3 same as 4 but clunkier.

Weird, it's almost like which game you consider best in the series is pretty subjective and everyone has different opinions.

I liked 7 and 8, personally, and I enjoy a lot of the newer characters more than some of the older ones but that's just me.

Weird, almost like i said 'rather' and never stated anything other than my very obvious opinion in an attempt to see others' opinions.
