Did I miss something? When did games start going from 69.99 (already too much imo) to the ridiculous price of 79.99?

No OT? This game seems nice enough. Not open world or weird like 9, engine & gameplay seem polished, probably gonna be milking this style and tech for future Musou. Gameplay feels ok even with mouse & keyboard and it's probably pretty low spec with Deck settings. I can't quite hit 60fps with max settings on my aging PC so I'll lock it to 30. Maybe it's possible with lower settings even but I like it looking nice and there are FMV with in-game-esque visuals that are not high framerate themselves so, for consistency too. There's Japanese, English and Chinese audio too. But lol 80 eur, bye 💀

Seems really good for a musou.
According to Steamdb no other Musou has even broken past 10K peak players on PC, the only ones that have come close (in the 9K range) are the licensed ones (Fate, One Piece, Persona)
Yeah, it's exceptional. Koei swung hard with DW9 and rolled a critical failure. They rolled a nat 20 with this one.

Parries in this game are sooooo satisfying. You just fuck their shit up while getting constant dopamine hits.

Working with Wu atm. The new character designs look great. Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Sun Shangxiang especially.

So badass. One of those choices that you already know the answer to in your heart of hearts.

No cleavage? This isn't a true musou game!

So what is considered the best audio language option? I thought I'd go with Chinese for authenticity, it seems high quality but the lip syncing doesn't seem to match (does it for others?). Is Japanese the best as the studio's language or maybe English as the fun cheesy one or Chinese like I thought?

80% of the Steam reviews are from China, so it's quite popular there but this isn't surprising given the premise and setting.

Not my style of game at all, but I'm glad to see Koei Tecmo getting a win after Rise of the Ronin last year.

Mostly Chinese players... I totally forgot they were making this game, but to me it looks and sounds the same as the previous ones, except the female designs are worse and they're trying to charge $80 for the base version.

I’m only in chapter 3 and the battles are getting intense. The Battle of Hu Lao Gate is when the game steps it up a notch. I’m excited to see the late game missions. They’re going to be fun.

Oh yeah, I’m watching Red Cliff tonight. This game rekindled my love for Three Kingdoms. DW7 was the last one that got me feeling this enthusiastic about the series. Easy 10/10 for me. Just keeps getting better.

Big W for Koei Tecmo.
Koei Tecmo Holdings’ share price rebounded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on January 20. According to Gamebiz, the strong performance of Dynasty Warrior: Origins is likely what’s favorably influencing investor sentiment, as the new entry to the company’s flagship musou series is expected to contribute significantly to sales.

Not surprised. The game is doing extremely well on Steam.

Quick all-time peak comparison with other recent releases. 70k for a musou game is ridiculous.

Every future musou game got a shot in the ass since they'll be using the updated engine. Dynasty, Samurai, Orochi, etc.
 
This game even gets more amazing the more I played it, as the huge army battles are EPIC!!!!! Starting to get attached to some of the characters too and loving the story.

Today they also released an update which is very nice:

Zhang Liao time. This game is such a tease for the next mainline. I cannot fucking WAIT to play as all my favorite characters with these new mechanics.

Fuck Lu Bu btw. That fight was brutal. Took me almost an hour to learn his moves and get his parry timings down.

Game rocks, still has the classic DW spirit and gameplay but the new additions are also great. Much more depth. Lots of team ninja DNA in the officer/hero battles.
