Dokuta Pavel, I'm SIA.

The first way of the samurai on ps2
The first shogun total war
Tenchu Z
Kengo on the ps2
Kessen on the ps2

There is 3 Kengos and 3 Kessens

Which ones would you recommend?

I liked Bushido blade so nice to see that got a spiritual successor

The original kengo on ps2
Only played the first kessen so not sure about its sequels

Thanks buddy

Here is a wallpaper

Nioh, it shows what really happened.

>shogun 2
nice joke
at the very least shogun 1's retardation was limited to battlefield ninjas and kensais

loved kengo

He asked for games with a samurai thematic, not historically accurate depictions of them.

Which would basically amount to Crusader Kings X Mount & Blade with a headhunter mechanic.

>Is there any good historical samurai games

What's it like being absolutely fucking retarded?

What this guy said.


I don't expect 100 percent realism but as long as there isn't demons and magic I'm fine with it.

Rooted in history instead of fantasy.

There isn't many games that are 100 percent historically accurate

Mount and Blade with the Gekkokujo mod. Go and unite Japan.

Not really "samurai"...but the Nobunaga no Yabou series is peak gaming performance.

Given you're on my level of 'tism.

paveru no isha, watashi wa shi ai ei desu

Paberu Hakase, Shiaiei desu.

A fantasy world where you happen to play as a samurai is not samurai thematic to me, is all.
Final Fantasy has always had Samurai but it's definitely not a game up for consideration.

Shogun 1 is no better at that than Shogun 2. Both are just reskinned Warhammer games with 0 historical background beyond the skin itself.

Played the shit out of the newest one, My main gripe was not really knowing how to properly do all the "quest line" things.

I tried it with that supercharged expansion or whatever but I felt I had overplayed it

Anyone else unironically think The Last Samurai was a good movie? I really liked it.

I doubt you've ever played Shadow of the Horned Rat or Dark Omen. Might as well namedrop Sid Meier's Gettysburg for e-cred as well.

I liked Ken Watanabe's character. Also the 'charge the gatling guns' scene was really kino.

I'm talking about the real game, user. You know, expensive miniatures you line up in formations, can charge, lock up units, hamer and anvil, retreating decimates units, morale rolls for the whole formation as well as a roll to get them back into the battle every turn of running, general buffs...

Total War has always played by the wargame rules, not any historical considerations or tactics.

It is a good movie.

It got memed because of the Last Samurai title and Tom Cruise on the front with people not realising Watanabe was meant to be the last samurai.

I also enjoyed the Shogun TV show after reading the book

Gonna agree with this. GekokujoNew(er) is amazing. Better than most Mountain Blade mods, and the variety and versatility of most units and how vast Japan is are very well-executed.

But that happens in Shogun 2?

Tarpit enemies with you anvil then use your cavalry as hammer has been a basic tactic in the series. Not to mention that routing units are basically free kills.

Holy shit i didn't know someone could be this dumb. You know there are other, older wargames than Warhammer fantasy, right? Early total war doesn't play like tabletop Warhammer either.

Can you really blame them? All promotional material puts him in the forefront, he is the main character, and the entire plot is revolved around him essentially adapting to Samurai culture and becoming a Samurai, and when all of the other traditionalists are killed in battle, he is the only one remaining. Watanabe even dies in the fight.

I only played iron triangle and sphere of influence. The former was tragic due to only being on console in english, the latter was pretty good but not deep enough to keep me interested for longer. Are the non-english ones better?

i always thought that the "samurai" is supposed to be plural, meaning that watanabes clan are the last samurai

Isn't Tom meant to be the audience ?

We see and experience the Samurai lifestyle of the last samurai through his eyes and with Kens death there is no more samurai.

He doesn't save the samurai culture or anything they all still die he's more of a witness to it all

This is how I saw it too.

Several but they're all Japanese only.
Taikou Risshiden series is particularly good and has like five entries.
There's also Isshin no Arashi that has a couple of games.
Inindo - Way of the Ninja has a bit of that going for it but also has demons and stuff.

TLDR: Koei prior to the rise of shitty hack and slash games is what you want.

I've played pendor, floris and clash of kings.

Is there any cool features in this besides the japanese skin ?

>You will never not be pleb enough to learn Japanese and play Rekoeition

What was that RPG-ish Koei games that let you travel around the coutnry as a retainer?

I would have really liked a Nioh game without the Youkai stuff. And possibly gameplay whereI can raise my troops like Mount and Blade.

I've always wanted to play Taiko after reading the book but I can't read Japanese at all.

IS there any fan translation or something or am I just wasting my time?

i liked all the kessen games

Exactly. understandable that they marketed it like that. Western audiences had no idea who Watanabe was.

Cant say, but as far as I know, it has the most balanced gunpowder units so far in most mods.

Lining up your ashigaru and gunner mercenaries and mowing down samurai on horseback never gets tiring.

It's mostly orthodox Warband stuff, but the biggest draws are the fact that guns are a common trait among units, there are no shields, bandits and other nuisances are common, the political system actually works, and most forts/castles have amazing battlegrounds. There's tiny stuff strewn throughout too, although I'd honestly say it's less poppy and flashy like Floris and more a really sleek Samurai Vanilla+.

>Western audiences had no idea who Watanabe was.

saigos story is pretty common, sabaton even wrote a song about him

>Cavalry
>Losing to Gunners

Clearly you have never engaged in battle with the Takeda clan. I have never been so inclined to bring a massive degree of spearmen to every fight as those red-clad faggots made me.

The movie came out in 2003

Well, I was on top of a hill. They tried to flank us, so I just had a couple of pikemen meet them at the bottom while my guys just shot them dead.

Damn I always hated gunpowder, fire and sword was my first warband experience and I hated nearly dying from some random shot at the start of a battle

i mean the only other actor they could have used in marketing was watanabe - you don't generate ticket sales by using a relatively unknown foreign actor.
the plot is obviously about the village being the 'last samurai', but the marketing mislead retards who didn't bother watching it into thinking Tom Cruise was 'whitewashed' into a role.
pretty fucking disingenuous to be honest, even modern american media use it as an example of whitewashing, when his role is based on the accounts of a french weeb who did similar shit in japan.

To be fair, Gekokujo has phenomenally well-executed gunpowder units. They fire very slowly, they aren't all that accurate, and while they have humongous distance to potentially cover, they lose to pretty much everything in close-quarters combat. WFAS fucked up by giving them high-speed reloads. You can get OP Hatamoto Gunners and whatnot, but they are few and far in between, only a few factions have them, and they are the end of an extremely long line of upgraded elites.

Alright I'l try it out

Always liked MnB

I'd really suggest it if you wanna get that Samurai itch scratched, if only because not having a shield makes you far less inclined to just be retarded and run willy-nilly into dangerous territory, so fights are a lot tighter and a lot more aggressive.

Are you looking for theme, or realism?

That might be Taikou or Isshin.
Taikou has you choose a profession.

There's nothing unfortunately.
I think the PC versions of Taikou Risshiden have scenario editors (at the very least 5 has one) that let you change all in-game text though, so a translation wouldn't necessarily be hard to get going if someone actually wanted to do it.

dumbest post all day and i just got up
