One Piece: Pirate Warriors (Kaizoku Musou)

I got a few during my playthroughs online, but when that mode started running dry, I just went and did random levels of the Main Log(such as Arlong's and the final one, both of which got me more New Marks). I got Nami's after biting the bullet and replaying Episode 11(the CP9 boss fights) a few times.

Mine landed today. Just finished the Buggy fight and unlocked the additional modes, then had to switch off to watched the England v San Marino game.

Just got the 100, 000 kill trophy so I pretty much platinum'd this now. Or at least, I'd like to say I did, but we have to wait for that dang patch to fix the skill glitch first before I can get that last trophy.

Not gonna stop playin' yet, though. For all my time spent in this game, it's still just so damn addictive. Plus you guys are my crew, we gotta stick together!

Just has my first really frustrating boss fight... Wapol was much harder than he needed to be thanks towwonky lock on and unhelpful camera mechanics.

Wapol would actually be really easy if he didn't have a habit of using his huge ass homing charge attack whenever you were struggling with the throwing controls.

There's a DLC bundle pack and Ace's DLC is up.

I think i'm sticking to only having boa's DLC, her not being in her manga outfit bugged the hell out of me

oops, if i didn't buy sonic adventure 2. i could have grabbed this for 30 dollars....

Admittedly, I've not spent that much time with the game in the past week, but I'm getting a bit bored of playing as Luffy. Another log is all well and good, but the main game is getting a bit repititive.

the only bit in the whole quest that annoyed me was the arabasta stage platforming.

I can't even spell "repetitive" apparently. Damn lazy fingers.

The stuff in the sand tomb was dull, especially as it was so easy. Note to developers; if you're going to put a puzzle in a game, hints are fine. Broad neon lights showing exactly how to solve it are both insulting and a complete waste of time.

how does co-op work?

I thought the sick Nami and Water 7 ones were more tedious. Alabasta's didn't bother me too much. Funny, considering that was the stage that I most feared back when I was watching the game being played on that stream.

I'm in agreement with Sora. Fuck Water 7.

You both get dumped into a musou stage and you kill everything that may or may not exist in the other persons game. Eventually there's nothing left to kill and you win. Occasionally bosses spawn and you can kill them too.

so story isn't co-op?

Nah not at all.

The platforming sections render that impossible.

This is £20 on the store right now. Worth getting?

It's fun, but insanely repetitive.

Could be said about any warriors game, really.
It's very true to the series and the characters are all pretty spot on, getting to use some of the attacks I've seen in the manga was sweet. Main complaint is that only Luffy gets a proper story mode but at least the others can be played online.

Belatedly, I went back to this and finally beat it today. The end fight with Akainu was just stupid, not only because of how poorly designed it was (when you get him down to the last 1/3rd of his health and you fight on the giant hand, I had only a sliver of health remaining so he killed me as soon as the cutscene ended. Retry? Yes. Only, the retry starts you with exactly the same amount of health in exactly the same place, so he kills me again. I had to reload an earlier save and reach that point again) but because of how it played a bit fast and loose the canon.

Ace gets burned trading blows with Akainu, yet Luffy can do it no problem? Heck, Luffy can even take down Akainu? Oh, and Akainu sees Ace's spirit alongside Luffy, and looks back and Ace's body. Once you mashed the win button fast enough, Ace is suddenly alive again and in Luffy's arms. Odd.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll buy PW2. As much as I love One Piece, PW has confirmed that I'm simply not a huge fan of the Dynasty style games in any form, and the fact it took me three months to beat a fairly short game goes some way to show how much of a slog I found it.

Holy crap, Ace is awesome. Power, speed, range... is there anything he doesn't have?

A quick and reliable way to break shields. He is great though.

Dat Flame Emperor.

What does Flame Emperor do? Is it a bit like Luffy's Gear 2nd in that it boosts your normal attacks and finishes with Dai Enkai?
