Yopedooo...!
I've lost my sense of time few days ago - at least I think it is a few days ago, cannot know for sure because, well, I've lost my sense of time? Why this happened? Because of certain Samurai Warriors 3 combined to my roomie buying us real Wii classic controller pros to replace out broken cheap chinese copies. And boys, have we played!
These Warriors games, beat-them-ups or however you call them are such a devious games. I can agree with game raters who whine how repeatitive this genre is (though frankly, which genre isn't?), but... at the same time, truly, when you give these games you pinky, it continues to rip your whole hand off and sucks your soul. True story.
Regardless the virtual repeatitiveness I'm gonna use word refreshing to describe my current fangirlish and euphoric state of mind with little bit despair and frutration mixed in. I swear I haven't had this much fun since Warriors Orochi 2, though only because I had to skip Dynasty Warriors 6 and because Sengoku Basara, as badass series it is and despite the fact that I was Capcoms girl first, just do not reach into the level of Musou... in some certain, still undescribeable aspects.
Though we have owned Samurai Warriors 3 for like forever now, getting our hands on those better controllers has really brought up my perfect game completion tendencies. Yay, it is like with SW2:XL again, just withouth refreshing sugoroku breaks. Ah, the memories of beating favourite characters' dream stages on expert just because, and that tower, Katsuie, Kojiro, Ranmaru's and Okuni's weapons and top three horses! Even if SW3 do not offer 'are-you-fucking-me-?' level difficulty modes, fifth ultimate-ultimate weapons or cleverness of orbs spoofs, it is still challenging bastard. We're all the time short for those bigger red gems, and it bugs the hell out of me to know that we are three tanuki statues short of getting that awesome effin bear!! I very much gate bonus missions - oh why completing them is required for golden story mode clear and worse, ultimate weapons?
I kinda hate KiyomasaxMitsunari pairing, but I love the characters separately. Before... well, yesterday I hadn't thought very much of Kiyomasa. I don't know why, but while leveling him up I very much grew to like him. Motonari is such a deadpan snarker - I can't but wonder how sweet it would be if he would met his Sengoku Basara counterpart. Hojo clan went from lame to cool, in this installation, right from one extreme to another. I still love almost everyone but Ieyasu. But what the fuck is with Motochika? I can't but agree with everyone when they blame him from manipulating Mitsuhide because... well he is.
This is me, ranting about old game I've co-owned for a good while now. But I can help it D=
