Dynasty Warriors Hate Leads to Real World Vandalism

Dynasty Warriors Hate Leads to Real World Vandalism

A gamer in Japan has expressed his disappointment with Dynasty Warriors developer Koei through the medium of spray can.

Japanese developer and publisher Koei (now part of Tecmo Koei) has been around for more than three decades, and is probably best known for the action-based Romance of the Three Kingdoms [http://www.amazon.com/Dynasty-Warriors-7-Playstation-3/dp/B004HVKA9O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301415251&sr=8-1]. Despite its storied history, one gamer recently got so angry with Koei that he defaced the company's Yokohama, Japan headquarters with spray paint.

The white, tiled exterior and glass doors that feature two cherubs are now also adorned with Japanese characters that say "shitty games," "garbage," and "die." The angered gamer didn't seem to write why he was mad at Koei, but something obviously ground his gears.

Perhaps Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 [http://www.amazon.com/Dynasty-Warriors-Gundam-2-Xbox-360/dp/B001L8DKKC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1301415825&sr=8-3] wasn't up to snuff? Maybe he/she hated the ending of Dynasty Warriors 7?

Whatever it was, Koei definitely got the message. It's one thing to go on an internet forum and say you hate Dynasty Warriors, but it's on another level to sneak around in the night and tell a game company's employees to "die" in spray paint. Sure, there are an abundance of Dynasty Warriors games, but you can't blame Koei for continuing on with its bread-and-butter.

someone didnt like fist of the north star

I like the series myself. Only owned a handful of the titles, though. And my favorite was DW: Gundam 1.

Probably has to do with DW7, though. Since Koei actually seems to have changed the series a good bit with it. From the reviews, at least.

 

[Irridium]

Ok yeah, the Dynasty Warriors games are repetitive, but damn. This seems a bit extreme...

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I sure wish I was that hardcore.

People do redicilious things if they think they can get away with it.

Gods only know why they think they can get away with the shit they pull.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Wow, talk about weak. I'd be lying if I considered any of the Dynasty Warrior games (Including it's spin-offs) actually "GOOD" games, but they can be fun in small doses. Dude obviously payed full-price for one thinking it was going to change his life and was disappointed that it wasn't the next killer app, or something. >_>

Don't worry guys, I've got Bethesda's address. If Skyrim sucks lets go trash the ZeniMax building! That'll show 'em!

 

[zehydra]

Further goes to show the feeling of entitlement that gamers have nowadays.

Don't worry guys, I've got Bethesda's address. If Skyrim sucks lets go trash the ZeniMax building! That'll show 'em!

haha, I've been there a few times. The building is already pretty fugly, graffiti might actually make it look better.

I think this might be happening more often if more of us lived near developer's headquarters.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

He trashed KOEI? But why? That's like kicking a puppy.

Although...hopefully this means they won't ever randomly cut Jiang Wei or Pang De again. I don't really care whether they were in the source book or not if you introduce them to a game and they are widely liked then why dump them?

Seriously though "Die"? Was that necessary? I mean you already pretty much took a dump on their lawn (excuse the crude analogy) by defacing that building.

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

Why do people need to go to such extreme lengths? This is just nuts

Yeah, it is kind of a big monstrosity. Its totally hidden away in an unassuming business district too XP

Someone's been watching too much Angry Video Game Nerd.
lol
Maybe it was the Nerd himself.

 

[RA92]

Wait, wasn't is just us PC gamers who are entitled little scumbags?

 

[Dragunai]

Haha, So if the Japanese are opposed to Tecmo Koei games then I guess the Cosplayers will soon be up in arms about how awful it is, sticking with the trend ya know? =P

Their games are boring and repeitive. Yes its their bread and butter but the bread is now stale and the butter has an odd smell about it. Buy a god damn french loaf, hit that ***** with some garlick and cheese and lets get something new going!

And I just realised what I am having for dinner tonight!

It will suck, so question is; How many of us will actually show up?
Btw, I think we should do something more original..Like compose an ode to it's suckness and perform it as an opera outside the building.

Sigh, real gundam games.

They should localized the A.C.E and Gundam VS. series, even if it's entirely possible to play through them in their native language , thanks to those walkthroughs posted by those oh-so-kind gamers > . >, although you won't understand much of the fan-service dialogues of the A.C.E series( Gain and Holland having a little chat, epic).

The Dynasty Gundam (#2) at least, could have been better, gundams are all about having a good movement set, not get juggled around like a ball mobile suit >.>

Can someone please do this to Lionhead?
