The thing Koei needs to realize is that with the ridiculous over-saturation of these type of games, gamers (both Japanese and foreign alike) are going to be much more selective over which Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors/Orochi/Dynasty Gundam (it's getting ridiculous!) games they buy. They're not going to buy them all. Methinks that fans of these type of games are mostly going to go with Dynasty Warriors and Dynasty Warriors Gundam (since they are crazy for Gundam over there), the main series, which happen to be on Ps360 and give a pass or maybe rent or buy used the spin-offs like Samurai Warriors/Orochi/etc.
Orochi didn't exactly light up the charts on Ps360 either. Where's the outrage? The Orochi games dropped off significantly in sales from the PS2 generation. It's clear that gamers are getting sick of this saturation. I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game or its spin-offs but if I did, I would get sick of KOEI's milking of the series. It's like KOEI has nothing to offer to the gaming community but the same damn games over and over again. They have turned video game development into a factory line process and took all the soul and love out of it. Good job. I understand this is the business but chances are, you`re going to come out with a better product if you actually enjoy doing your job. And I doubt most Omega Force (or whomever is the developer) employees are exactly thrilled about working on Dynasty Warriors spin-off no. 3458, being rushed out to complete generic games as if they were on an assembly line.
