Way of the samurai 4

[vercingetorix]

I would like to add my voice to the throng here clamoring for way of the samurai 4. Having played 1,2,3 and Western, I have been following this series forever. There is really nothing like it. Way of the Samurai 4 from all of the reviews/previews I have read looks like an excellent followup to the series. All of the choices you make along with the cast of characters make this a game with tons of replay values which always makes a game great.

Since you are working with Acquire right now to bring over clan of the champions (Gladiator VS) -- which I will definitely buy, surely you can convince them that it would be worth it to bring over Way of the Samurai 4 too.

PLEASE give us the option to have actual female samurai this time and not NPC skins or if we are playing a female not to have people still talk to you like you're a dood >.>

I think the game was for a male character. I mean they would have to do a lot to make a female work with all the story elements to appease the few females that would play it and the few odd males that want to play female.

Also I mean really... how many female Samurai's were there outside of movies? Bad idea in my opinion.

Except there are always a fair amount of female Samurai NPCs in the game. It wouldn't really be all that difficult.

They just don't think that their audience would like that, and that it wouldn't appeal enough to bring in people to make up for the offset.

Haha I forgot about that. You got me there. I always had that one girl from amana castle follow me because she could increase your money when you leave her at the house. Hinagiku on the other hand kept breaking my weapons even though her overnight dialog was better

You'd be surprised how many people posted comments about wanting to make female samurai. I don't know why that would bother people.

I wouldn't be. I don't think they're correct in their thinking, but I am pretty sure that's the reason it still hasn't been implemented.

There were female samurai just as there were probably knights just because they aren't in a text book doesn't mean they didn't exist. Besides this game is partly fiction anyway.

Because a lot of things would get changed to cater to a female. Everybody treated the Samurai in 3 as if he was a male. Now if they made the role male or female then most NPC and story would be treating the Samurai as if he was male or female and it makes a small difference. How different you think Ar tonelico Qoga dialog throughout the game would of been if you could choose male or female in that game?

Call if selfish if you want but I was stuck playing Lightning in FF XIII, Lara Croft in Tomb Raider and many other games where I had to play a female. Are you guys hitting up there forums with this nonsense? This every game needs male and female mains is annoying.

Here's the thing...the game barely has anything to actually warrant that a lot of changes would be needed for the character to be female. Have you seen how they treat the female NPC's?

[Alura--x--Uneii]

Fable did a good job of it I think.

Fair enough, I really don't notice it unless the option is there. Dead Island was the worst case. Nothing you did or who you were mattered in the game but I think that is how they set it up. NPC gives random quest. Was really hard to get swallowed up in story and in character like that. Mass Effect is another bad offender in my opinion. Think if they just did not do a female all that voice acting could of went to your crew who pretty much did not say all that much. Fable was terrible, another game where noone reacted to who you were. Dragon Age at times, just in the back of my head they are talking to me like I could be either way.

Roles are just played better in my opinion when there is no option but developers will do what they want to regardless. Either way I will still buy and play in most cases. Sometimes I will be better off or worse off but someone else will be the other way.

I do agree with you that the majority of games with a choice, don't have a point to that choice, and it just feels tacked on, and ends up watering down the experience overall.

In this game, I don't think it would make a huge difference, because they already have that sort of setup really.

Ah well, maybe 5 will do it?

[Alura--x--Uneii]

If they plan on making a 5.
