Topic: Get your Samurai on!

This and next week are good weeks for the Samurai!

This week, Onimusha 3: Demon Siege comes out for the PS2. While it does look alittle corny with a time-travelling theme, both the previous games have been fun enough.

Next week, Samurai Warriors, a Dynasty Warriors style game, comes out for the PS2. Everything you love about Dynasty Warriors with a lot of new features (randomizing objectives on a map between 400+ possible alternatives, etc) set in Japan at the time of the Warring States Period.

And also next week, The Last Samurai comes out on DVD.

I's is happy! ^.^

And thus, all the ninja games of 2-3 months ago are balanced, and there is harmony in the universe.

Yes, Ying(Samurai) and Yang(Ninja) are once more equal.

Yin, not Ying.

And yes.


And ironically I had a twisted little idea for D&D game. I have d20 Oriental Adventures. And I have d20 Steam and magic. Samurai Steampunk fantasy would kick ass. I'm sure the idea will develop and blossom more once I've seen The Last Samurai.

But...could there be mechanical horses? ^.^

Could go any number of ways:

1. Steam-Powered Western Knights vs spiritual, quasi-mystical Samurai
2. Western Magic vs Eastern Magic
3. Western Steam Armor vs Eastern Magic Armor

Still gestating the ideas in my head.

Ooh..just got an image of a legion of samurai calvary charging at several armored tank-like steam-powered vehicles with ancestrial swords glowing with magical auras. ^.^

Pretty cool image, isn't it. Could even incorporate the whole "Japan wants to update it's military" thing they touch on in Ruroni Kenshin and Last Samurai. Would be pretty cool.

We'll have to rent that when it comes out, then. And I call dibs on the crazy steampunk inventor

Deth, that actually sounds kind of fun, and I'd be interested if you'd be willing to include me.

Skip CoH, get Samurai Warriors. It's got a 2 player mode right? Couples that Samurai together, stay together.

Pickone buy it, wait another paycheck for the other, if you have a budget that allows it. Like i just bought NWN gold and HOtU, Thinking of getting CoH, but I spent money already on games, plus I have Finals in school , so I probally will be waiting to pick it up. Growing up sucks

That's a good idea.
