Seriously flawed games that you love anyway

[Farsala]

Pretty much every game I like is seriously flawed imo. But I will choose a more recent game. That game is Dynasty Warriors 9.

I platinumed this game very quickly, but it took 140 hours. Throughout those 140 hours, half of it was playing my 3 favorite Wu characters Cheng Pu, Gan Ning, and Sun Quan. The battle system is pretty much the same thing as always with Dynasty Warriors where you can just run up to the officers and kill them real quick. However when I first played as Cheng Pu I played more strategically and methodically and unfortunately it isn't too different. The voice acting of course is severely flawed since they hired amateurs, but I had some great laughs many times and anyone can always just change to Chinese or Japanese.

Now playing as 3 Wu characters in a row is slightly annoying, but only because the missions are not very dynamic with little variance, so repeating them becomes quite tedious. Its the same thing as recent Dynasty Warriors where they keep fighting each other until a predetermined outcome happens unlike in DW3 where morale can really change things and some odd things might happen like " Random noob officer has gotten 50 KOs!" . Speaking of KOs, 1000-3000 KOs are so common it doesn't feel too great anymore.

Still I very much enjoyed the combat and the story ignoring the VAs. And I especially enjoyed that every single character has a unique ending, 90+ unique cutscenes + all the shared cutscenes. Some of them were very well done.
