Dynasty Warriors/ROTK collection discussion thread

For any of us who have or collect any of Koei's Romance of the 3 Kingdoms games (Dynasty Warriors included), show them off here!

I avoid the Dynasty Warriors stuff like the plague. Same for the other spin offs of the Ro3K series.

The series for the most part has lost my interest the past couple releases sadly. When it was frist released for the NES, I could the series was one of the most complicated on the system. One after another, new features would be added to improve on the gameplay. Problem is that now days, there's so many things added that I have no clue what I'm doing half the time. Even after reading the manual I often find myself at a loss trying to understand all the new features. New ways to win, new ways to loose, and so many that dont even involve fighting. New skills, new troop comands. Frankly either the manual needs to get more in depth (aka larger) or they need to start releasing strategy guides/manuals for it that cover more of the stuff in depth.

Yea maybe I'm not investing the time nessicary to figure out the new Rot3K games, but I rented one of the more recent ones and tried to figure it out for an hour or two before giving up.

i like dynasty warriors, i didnt know it was related to any thing else thought i thought it was its own thing.

ditto what fuyukaze said. 3 is my personal favorite... It's just a blast to go through that game (although it gets incredibly unwieldy when you control 3/4 of the cities). I've handled a few of the more recent ones and they're just... too much.

I found a sealed copy of San Goku Shi Returns for Windows at my local flea market, and I've been unable to find any information of the game other than it's part of the series. And released on the PS1. Any idea what it's supposed to be? I think it's a remake of ROT3K / San Goku Shi, but I have no idea.

I'm selling it on eBay, too.
