Dynasty Warriors 7 vs Europa Universalis IV
Dynasty Warriors 7
Dynasty Warriors 7 brings with it the classic 3 family feud, and then adds more battles, story and a fourth faction to play. Now you have Shu, Wei Wu and the new Jin family. Play through this epic version of the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms where you fight for control of China in the wake of a failed rebellion. Now you have more story to enjoy and a wider cast of characters to get to know.There are also several changes made to this game that make it truly unique. The Renbu system is gone, and once more you have weapons that allow bigger combo chains. You also have a new mode that lets you forge through the battles in any order you wish. You also have access to a huge range of weapons available, 11 per character now not the old method of 4. These changes have made for a different game, full of all the action you love.
Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV is the fourth game in the award-winning Europa Universalis franchise. Similar to its predecessors, the game has everything you'd need to build your own nation from the ground up and guide it through the ages. The freedom in which you get to customize your giverning style, your nation and even your game is simply ridiculous (in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event. This time around you'll get to grow your nation over a much wider span of history, arrange royal marriages, form coalitions, support rebels in proxy wars and more. You can even cooperate with up to 32 different players to govern a single nation. The multiplayer mode apparently now has an improved chat and a new matchmaking system.Unfortunately, the major downside about this game is that the developers, Paradox Interactive, have apparently "sold-out" by adding in features that should have been in the original game into DLCs that players actually have to pay extra for, ending up spending over $200 for just a single game. Not to mention, many players have complained that the DLCs they release are priced at the same price point despite having progressively lower amount of content.
That said, the game is still an epic masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the Europa Universalis series, but the game's hardcore player base is admittedly not happy, and honestly, we wouldn't recommend getting this game unless you can get all of the DLCs dirt cheap... maybe like in a bundle.
