U say to leave the puzzle solving to the main series. All i'm saying is that it couldn't hurt to ALSO have it in this game. Even if they didn't have puzzles, fine whatever. But hack & slash games like Dynasty Warriors are rarely worth $60 in my opinion. It needs something more--like adventuring or puzzles WHILE hacking away at enemies. I like beat-em-up games like Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising Reveangance because u do MORE than just swing swords around at weak mindless enemies all day. Dynasty Warrior games tend to be a bit mindless. So a puzzle and s9me roaming/discover would have balanced it out--whether it had Zelda characters in it or not. Dynasty Warriors is in dire need of innovation, and they could start by adding multiplayer co-op.

I'll skip this. Not because it isn't a "true" Zelda, but because Dynasty Warrior games have always been shallow and void of any real reason to play beyond the first innitial days of owning them. I was hoping this game would fuse something extra into the monotonous, non-skill-demanding gameplay of the Dynasty series.

What's wrong with that? I'm not dissing anyone for buying it. But I'm simply stating the reasons why I'm hesitant to get it for my new Wii U. Sorry for not being a mindless drone who buys cash-in products just because they have my favorite characters as skins, yet offer shallow gameplay of a subpar, monotonous hack & slash bargain-bin franchise like Dynasty Warriors. I wish Aounuma had worked with them even if just a little, to throw in some kind of adventuring that blends well with such a fast paced battle engine. Dynasty games have no replay value. I'm not made of money, so this is my reason for skipping it. Maybe they might flesh it out more in a sequel.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".
