And that raccoon? It’s a Tanuki – a representation of Motoko’s power, a guardian spirit. Although all the Ancients were devoured by the dragon during the apocalyptic event, there’s one last item that can still be used to pierce through the dragon’s impenetrable scale – Hoji’s mask, an heirloom of my late and only friend! Crazy, right?! To awaken that power, I need help from Motoko, the last remaining sorceress of the Kumo Brotherhood, an organization so secret no one knows what they do, why they exist, or where they keep their clubhouse (kinda like the biz dev team – am I right!?!). So after speaking further with the Narrative team, I found out that in order to defeat this badass dragon, I have to awaken a power trapped in an Ancient Artifact. However, the road to redemption is spiked not only with ultra-malevolent Yokai demons but also with equally damning distrust between Lo Wang and his team of discount heroes (hey, this actually sounds pretty good! Those eggheads can write!). Now, finding himself in something of a prophetic predicament, and – more importantly – with his mojo lost, Lo Wang is forced to team up with his own nemesis, the ex-billionaire Orochi Zilla, and his newly enlisted ally Motoko, to set things right. By nearly plunging the world into a full-blown apocalypse, Lo Wang accidentally opens a multi-dimensional prison cell holding a humongous world-eating dragon. As Lo Wang, an ex-Yakuza mercenary, with quips quicker than a day one patch (I‘ve got to admit, those bookworms in the Narrative department actually did a good job) it’s your job to save the world from a disaster you’re also technically responsible for. Shadow Warrior 3 is a fast-paced first-person love song dedicated to action. So let’s see what this game is all about: But as a Chief Head of Marketing Execution and Strategic Planning Strategist, well, this is an opportunity for some more marketing! Now, the eggheads in Production and Art told me that if I go overboard, they won’t be delivering any further marketing materials, so we have to tread very lightly. As a huge gamer myself (not to mention the handsome star of multiple Shadow Warrior installments), this is a dream come true. Wait for a year or two for at least a 60% discount and play the first two in the meantime cause they actually have replay value and a better VA and a better gun system.Now, our friends over at Xbox have told us that apart from showing our trailer, they will also allow us – me – to create a blog post about the game as well. It's like some other novice studio played Shadow Warrior 2 and said "yup, I bet I can make a sequel to this" and went and made this. But it's not what the previous ones were and it has way less effort put into it. It's unfair not to mention that the gameplay is actually fun, like it's not bad. This one? It's just button mashing until the enemy is dead. SW2 had directional sword action and you could chop up enemies the way you want and the direction you wanted. But this one? You just have a katana and some guns. Like the 2nd one had a loot and weapon upgrade system and it gave you a lot of different swords and pistols and weapons with different stats and lots and lots of different ways of upgrading and modifying them and it was actually fun. Which I would have no problem at all if the game wasn't only 6 hours! Like I played the first of for 17 hours till I finished it, but there's no reason to buy this game full price when it's less in every way than the previous ones and it doesn't even have a New Game+ mode. They didn't even bother with this one to put a co-op in here. And most importantly, CO-OP! It wasn't the best co-op experience with the sht netcoding of it, but it was still there. It had lots of side quests and trials and bounties and different missions with different environments. Secondly, Shadow Warrior 2 was way better. This is one negative and probably the biggest. His voice acting skills are awful and it's really obvious he's trying to imitate the real Lo Wang's voice actor. First of all, I cringe every time the new VA talks. ![]()
