Did they improve to a point on the combat, yes. Did some of the characters designs improve as well, yes. However I feel they took a big step back in not making more officers playable, in not having more modes rather than the same story mode. The main character isnt customizable. They took everything away to try and appeal to a more general audiance, and sadly alienates their more hardcore audiance. The story itself is exaggerated, but fine, and the weapons can be fun as well. All in all I was left saying meh to the game as a whole. Not a great game within the Dynasty Warriors universe.

Ok, well I can say that I did enjoy the game as a whole. It has a great story to it, that does mostly conclude the series. The main issue for me was though is the ending itself. The ending is well with the so called Extended DLC they shouldn't have had to do in the first place, was just three seperate color lapses over one another. Of course you can also not choose any of the three endings and then just all die for nothing basically. Anyways, I careless about Shep living or **** me I just wanted something far more expansive and less lazy than the mass relays blowing up and the crew putting up a memorial. In fact to me the ending just left me with doubt on Biowares next series for Mass Effect frankly since they just lost all steam with that worthless end. The ending aside, the companions were definitely lack luster. Instead of getting the awesome companions from MAss Effect 2 back you get some prothean that's so elitist it's not even funny, a Robot just so Joker gets some romance going on, and the overly hardcore stereotyped soldier man in Vega, thats about it. You do get Garrus, Liara, Tali, & Ash or Kaiden depending on who was left alive. Kasumi, Zaeed, Miranda, Jack, Jacob....Anyone else you fell in love with as characters in the second game are basically gone save for a few meet ups...I really wish they came back to be companions again, instead of just random cameos. I can understand a few old characters not coming back sure, the story needed that, but for none of the others? Come ****'t give us great characters just to turn around and take them back...Anyhow, that rant being done I enjoyed the **** ran well and even was great in wrapping some things up. So I give it a 7...Since the ending and companions definitely put a damper on it for me.

To me personally, Bioware isn't quite as good at making a long lasting story that sticks with the viewer. Yes I still enjoy their games for what they are and not saying the games super bad or anything. Though, sorry the story is very quick and bland really. The open world is a change, a small one though since it's what every other game is basically trying to do or has done. Though, for DAI I find it really didn't do anything for the story as a whole. If you play just the main story the game will last maybe six hours if that, however if you enjoy the repeated side quests that the open world gives then sure you'll have days if not more of extra crap to do. Sorry for me it just doesn't stick. The companions even, except for a few are just remade older characters. I only found a few that actually stood out. It feels more like an MMO rather than an RPG. Sure you get very nice weapon customization, however the class customization is not as good at all. Hell they even took out most of the good classes that most fans enjoyed in the prior games. There is no more blood mage, for example. They condenced and tried to mix the trees into new warpped crappier versions. Thus all and all, I wasn't particularly thrilled with the game as a whole, fun one time playthrough, but nothing I'd play more than once.
