Dynasty Warriors Origins

This is like Dragon Age Origins.

not being able to remember all of these characters' names is an inceredibly good way to simulate amnesia in storytelling

[chuck]

The restraint Dunkey showed in railing off 50 different names in a row and not tossing in a "Psycho Mantis" is incredible.

[Randomheropk]

It's easy to see how you forget all those names. You got AMNESIA.

Dunkey has the unique ability to somehow make me know less about a game after watching the video than I did before

[judemcnab]

Genuinely good simulation of reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms where there's 500 characters with the same family name and a character can be introduced as the strongest general under Heaven and get mulched on the very next page, then referenced 5 pages later as important motivation for the new villain (the old villain died 3 pages ago and lasted about 13)

I am just impressed there is a video game series that has lasted over 20 years while telling the same story over and over

Not a lot of people know that the electric guitar was actually invented 3000 years ago in China.

There is a range of pronunciation quality in this game's voice acting lol

[ItsmeInternetStranger]

You can tell I grew up with these games because I had no difficulty telling all those names apart and knowing who all those people are and who they serve. It's burned into my brain after fighting the battle of Red Cliffs about a hundred times.

This is a strange looking Switch 2 trailer reaction Dunk.

[roushington]

You can tell when they're a main character because they always talk like they're constantly halfway out of breath.

[Raisuru]

I didn't realize at first how confusing the names would be for newcomers but as someone who grew up with the novel and its characters it was hype seeing some of them.

But yes even we forget the names of the fodders.

never gonna become the dynastiest warrior without a good supply of buns

[r.j]

Total War Three Kingdoms literally got me to remember most of these names...Which is incredibly strange to see a Dynasty Warriors game and now understand exactly who the hell someone is and what they're like.

[realkingofantarctica]

This game should really be set in 1997, since that was the origin of the Dynasty Warriors franchise.

[Meitti]

Quite fitting that the video ends on a clip of Han Dang, the whole gimmick of that character is that he's a nobody mentioned once in the novels and so the character in the game is constantly frustrated that nobody remembers his name.

[DrunkenCoward]

And once again Chen Gong is the best character.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms he saved Cao Cao because he tried to kill Dong Zhou (which Chen Gong thought was really cool), but then Cao Cao killed Lü Boshe (who is related to him by blood, but not actual blood, just through being the blood brother of Cao Cao's pappy Cao Song) and then he went "Well, that's not cool, the man took us in" so Chen Gong was Chen Gone and then he reappeared as the advisor to Lu Bu (the former adopted son of Dong Zhou) and helped him conquer places and getting the better of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but then got besieged by Cao Cao and when Lu Bu was supposed to push to the attack, but his wife - Diaochan - got a sniffle so Lü Bu was like "No" and then he was executed by Cao Cao, who tried to bring Chen Gong over to his side and Chen Gong said "I'd rather be Chen Gone" and no one laughed, because that joke has been made before.
