Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a fantastic game that, when I reviewed it, I would have raved about even more in my review had my editor let me. By far my favorite game in the series, Origins is a hack-and-slash RPG that takes place during the historic Chinese Three Kingdoms era. You play as a mysteriously cladded soldier who looks to shape the future of China. While I say it's my favorite in the series, don't take my word for it.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins nearly reached 70,000 concurrent players this past weekend, peaking at just under 69,483. By comparison, the last four entries in the titular series have only managed to achieve 3,900 simultaneous players. That's over 17 times the amount of players in the newest game.
