The Insanity That was Dynasty Warriors Gundam (DWG Trilogy Review) - Pragmatik 

"We are gundams" the random lines made me laugh to many times 😂

I fucking love Setsuna just shouting randomly I AM A GUNDAM. especially when someone else just said something philosophical or reflective. And here is this maniac screaming "WE ARE GUNDAMS!" love 00 XD

DWG was my first ever introduction to Gundam and it was one of my fondest memories with my cousins. We lived in different states and only got to see each other maybe once a year at best and whenever we did see each other we’d spend hours and hours playing this game together. The music and dialogue are so nostalgic to me I can even recall some lines. Who would’ve thought my Gunpla addiction now was all thanks to this game

As a huge DWG fan, I really enjoyed this! I definitely agree with all your points and how you ranked the games. DWG3 really is an improvement on almost everything from the original, but I almost prefer the simplicity of the first game. The second title just felt messy and I was upset I couldn’t use the Japanese voices (they’re what I grew up watching). Nice work on this video!

I never saw the Anime’s but this series made my childhood. I spent so much time 100% each slowly. You’re the only person to make a video on the games so thanks a lot.

The first one was probably one of my favorite games as a kid, I could never get into the other two. Funnily enough I have never been into either Gundam or dynasty warriors. I’m still mad that it isn’t backwards compatible.

The only big negative I have for DWG3 is the space battles being removed literally the entire game is ground combat

great video, this one in particular is that kind of game that no one I know ever knew about netherless gundam as a whole, very few people can relate to the experience speacially in the west

I grew up with 1,2,and 3, 2 being my favorite but 3 was the most fun to play! These games had so much potential I wish there was a 4 released for the ps5. I really liked how different characters from different serise interacted with eachother finding that some have similar motivations or express themselves in ways that weren't in the anime

My first experience was with DWG2, where it was one of the earliest games that ten year old me got for the PS2, and that game was basically my gateway to the Gundam series as a whole; thus, I have fond memories of it. That being said, I do think each of the three games have their own charms

Great review mate. Always enjoy personal experiences thrown into the mix. I loved this series. I really wish we would see a return to this series. I would love to see this series be as glossy as the dragon quest heroes series.

So, I did like DWG2 for two major reasons: we got the first official English voices for several series (because their series had yet to be officially dubbed), and some of the character's Mission Stories. It was REALLY fun to hear Kelly Sheridan as Roux Louka (for reference, she's Miharu Ratokie in the 0079 series dub, and she's Louise Halevy in Gundam 00), and Andrew Francis made for a great Judau Ashta. The Mission Stories made for some wild scenarios. Emma Sheen's in particular was notable. For hers, the setup was that she was running simulations of historical events, and changing things up too see possible outcomes of thins going differently. Two of them were "If Zeon managed to mass-produce the Big Zam" (You had to fight THREE of them), and "What if Quattro Bajeena actually switched sides and fought AGAINST the AEUG during the Battle of Gryps 2?"

I remember when I first bought and started playing DWG2, I wound up having Milliardo, Domon and Puru show up as a random event. They were practically the Team Rocket of that game, and I loved any time their event showed up from then on.

"I AMMM MASTERR ASIAAA" Ghad i can still hear it like yesterday

DWG NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!!, I’M DYING HERE!!!!!!!

This brought back memories. My first was DWG, which I played at a friend's, but then I ended up getting the 3rd one. Still own it today and got all the mobile suits and DLC, just to get all of Celestial Being.

DWG3 was my intro to Gundam games and story was fun, Trans-Am 00 Raiser was my favorite to use too

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 is the game that made me love Gundam games. And Gundam in particular. But after playing Gundam Assault Survive (and other Battle series games) I am very dissapointed how badly shooting mechanics were done in this game.

Thank you for this great review as well as for my memory lane as I have played all 4 Dynasty Warriors Gundam games. I still like his the first one had made the teams though I am curious were the writer in one trying to set up Loren and Puru-2 because they seem to have a shipable interaction.

Always wanted this back when I had a ps3. You convinced me to find a way to play the 1st and 3rd ones this year. As much as I like Zelda, and the hyrule warriors artstyle, nothing looks cooler than playing as gundams.

1 3 and Reborn are my faves, not that 2 didn't have its sparks. One especially did a neat job really making a "real" story making cross interactions between everyone. I wished they could really sit down and figure out how to do that again, but it's like they started focissing on "moments" in 3 and beyond after adding so many more characters.

I found DWG2 for the PS2, fell in love with it. I decided to go after DWG3... got the first one by mistake from Amazon, then got DWG1 and manage to find Reborn. THEY'RE ALL SO AMAZING GAMES. I feel like Reborn was decent but took away some charm from past games but still such a blast. DWG3's other problem is the health meter. That thing either breaks or wins the game and it's oof, painful. DWG2 I can't say anything bad. I had the most fun. DWG1 feels slow but I did have a lot of fun with it too. Overall... MAKE DYNASTY WARRIORS GUNDAM 5 OR 4! I DON'T CARE, MAKE IT.

These are my favorite Gundam games to this day. So much detail in these for the time. I just finished playing SD Gundam and they don’t compare. Kinda wish they brought back Gundam Battle Assault too.

DWG1 is what got me into Gundam. It was a game my dad had on the Xbox 360, and I still play it to this day. (Milliardo and the Epyon is my favorite.)

This channel needs more love hes honest with his reviews and we don't get that a lot

Best combo ever is playing Wing Zero and summoning Deathscythe. He creates a tornado of hate that sucks everyone in. While he does that, you hop into the air and unleash Zero's buster cannon.

I recently had an itch to play these to dug out my DWG3 DISC and ripped it to my PC and started playing it with RPCS3 then i noticed that there was a 4th game DWG Reborn so i've been playing that. Dont know how i missed that release maybe cuz it was psn only in NA. Its been a blast i really like the additions/improvements they made.

I wonder what Prag has in store for us in July, somthing new other than DQ or Onimusha? Or maybe more DQ, time shall tell....

Love to see the love towards the first DWG game, the original modes crossover stories remained true to the characters and I love it for it, and the team ups were amazing. I want another DWG installation that improves the first DWG original mode, they have the characters to pull it off.

I've said it before and i'll say it again; we were robbed for not getting an Empires version.

Excellent video!!

I got to play both 1 and 2 and l have to say l absolutely love them.

Video very underrated. Love love

The Teammates wandering off just to die pointless deaths does happen in the Anime series most of the time as well, tough.

Honestly, I wish these games would come to PC at some point. I'd love to play them with friends for hours on end, I just love gundam, man. Great video!

I didn't get to play these as much as I should have way back when. Here's hoping against hope that they add these to steam someday

Seriously considering buying a xbox 360 with gundam 1 2 3 rn. I miss playing this as a kid so much

24:43 You should give it a shot if you still haven't played it. It combined things I liked from each game. The mobile armor (giant enemy) fights are still pretty tedious though.

I came to know of the existences of these games back in 2014. By then I had already watched most of the Gundam series and was watching Turn A while beating the first DWG. I really loved it! So much that I didn't stop until I 100% it. Then I got the second, waiting to see an improvement, and boy it was good! Being a fan of the series I enjoyed to play MSG, Z, ZZ and CC from the perspective of the main characters. Playing as Char from his viewpoint was great as well! I very much enjoyed playing as Seed Characters, as well as having the possibility to play as every mass-produced mobile suit from the U.C. era. The Mission mode was a treat too! Each mobile suit in this game felt unique in design, mobility and attack pattern! I leveled up my favorite characters up to the max, eventually turning them into Newtypes. I also put lots of time trying to max out frienship levels with my faves, but the ones that succeeded the most were Loran and Roux Louka for me. With such a complete Gundam game the bar was set very high for me, so I went for the third one dying to play the Laplace incident, F-91 and Victory storylines plus all the previous ones. Like, having a complete U.C experience with upgraded graphics and all mass-produced suits up to the VESPA ones. Hey, even the G Saviour, Sumo and a returning Turn X, if they decided to count the Correct Century into the storyline! Or even further, playing the whole Seed or Wing storylines, with Leos and Djins at your disposal and all. So you can imagine my surprise (or rather deception) when I turned on my Xbox 360 on DWG3 only to find out that there wasn't any story mode of any kind and instead they throwed at me random characters from every Gundam universe! I played as the 00 for about five minutes, but it was such a letdown that I never touched the game again. Neither came back to the original. Simply because 2 is the definitive version for me. It's everything a DWG should be. If the series gets a remake someday, I hope they will hold into account any of the ideas I've thrown up in here. Thank you for the review! :) (P.S: I love the Nu-Gundam as well. It's up there as my favorite of all time along with the Wing, the Freedom and the Zeta ❤)

This was the first gundam game that let me pilot the wing zero it was awesome

I've only played 2 and Reborn and I love them both. 2 was my entry and I love the pilot career mode they had. Reborn I loved for the larger roster and playing the larger mobile armors. This video made me want to pick up dwg3

I knew I had one of them but I wasn't sure which in my collection. I just checked and it turns out I have the second one. I feel bad that it seems like it's the least liked one. I'd like to know if there's any way to get them outside of PS3. I've seen them for sale at my local retro game store but they go for a lot of money. I'd love to get them for the PS4 for example.

I maxed out all Burning Gundam's stats in this. He's so damn fast now that he's hard to control, but its amazing.

I still loving DWG as musha gundam, I don’t know what should I say about this nostalgia game…

That intro was really funny not gonna lie haha

RW:im a DW veteran here,cause i remember playing DW 3 on the PS2 and seeing some games get involved in the DW craze,i was hooked.

just finished every gundam musou games, and I hunger for more ‼️‼️

"Oh no, not the ducks!"

I’m glad I’m not the only one that wants a sailor moon game in this style.

will you ever play DW gundam reborn? thats also part of the trilogy well if you have ps3 i mean

Sailor Moon Warriors would be great, but if I may: Final Fantasy Warriors Dragon Ball Warriors Power Ranger Warriors Transformers: Warriors of Cybertron Unbalanced Force: Star Warriors Warhammer 40K: Primarch Warriors Bandai, plz.

God I miss this series, should have a fourth now with new gundams that have come

I own all three of these games on the 360 and they're all really good games. They each have their ups and downs but you can't go wrong with any of them. The only one I'm missing is Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn but it's just so damn expensive to get a physical PAL version on the PS3...

These games were always wild to me. Also I wanted to slap Kira through half of Seed and most of Destiny.

DWG is what got me into Warriors. Just a shame 3/reborn took out what made 2 good (individual stories for each character, faction stories etc). Would LOVE to see a new one and/or a Gundam Empires one.

To think the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games were my first exposure to the Musou games and also finally got me into watching Gundam. I knew about the Musou games before, though the only time I played it beforehand was through those demo discs for the PS2. As for the Anime, my brother was the one that watched it, and as a kid, it never really interested me back then. So yeah, this series holds a special place for me. A shame they never continued it past Reborn, though they really were just rehashing the same things at that point, even some of the cutscenes are still the same from the first DW:G game. Would've been nice if there was a PC port, or a switch-release. Good thing they're easy to emulate. Man I remember playing the shit out of DW:G2.

Only own the first one (imported from Lik-Sang when it launched in Hong Kong). Really enjoyed it! I'm a huge fan of the older Gundam stuff and the first Dynasty Warriors Gundam (Or Gundam Musou as stated on my copy) ticked all the boxes!

I need them to make another I swear these games were amazing

Since you're going through all the Gundam games, any chance you've ever played MS Saga A New Dawn? It's pretty good. I just wish it was an action RPG instead of a Turn Based RPG.

DW Gundam reborn was really fun. I liked being able to play my own soundtrack in the game so I’d download Gundam music and have that play in the background. The DLC for it was pretty decent too. Dabbling back to it occasionally, the graphics are pretty dated though, and it runs like crap. Hope a new one gets released on current gen and simply call it Gundam Warriors. 🙏

3 spent way too much time in my disc drive. 200 hours. Boost combos are fun and I wanted that Plat. I also refuse to ever do that in a musou game again.

Heero absolutely OBLITERATING an entire field with a singular ultimate move is honestly hilarious. He levels up really quick, and it’s just fun and chaotic to play as him. He’s a powerhouse.

Unfortunately for me i never got to play the original but i started with 2. I liked 2 but (i couldn't get over the worst part of that game the friendship system) in my opinion. Some missions required a friendship of a certain character at a certain level, that really pissed me off. It takes so long for a character's friendship level to go up once they're at the bottom. Upgrading MS & gundams were rather too difficult for me. gladly 3 fixed most of the problems i had with 2 especially the friendship system. (thank god) upgrading was a lot easier too. i played 3 so much i maxed out the play time counter lol. reborn is my absolute favorite tho. thanks for the review

I will absolutely refute those criticizing this series for lacking "depth". It's a musou series! Don't go looking for depth in a kiddie pool. Loved how Double X and GP02 just auto cleared fields by simply using their aerial special attacks.

The first DWG was the reason for getting me into the Gundam series/the mecha genre to begin with. Never looked back since and have loved the series. I personally prefer how DWG 1 looked over 2. DWG 1 had this dirty look for the mecha which I loved. 2 was polished and clean, which I ended up appreciating later on. 3 was that nice blend of HD using cell shading. Fun fact, most of the Gundam series before the theatrical release of Unicorn, were dubbed in Canada. All but ZZ, After War Gundam X, Victory, and Turn A. So if some of these voices sound familiar, especially to the western audience, then that's because they are who you think they are. Amuro/Setsuna is Brad Swaile, voice actor of Light Yagami from Death Note. Duo's voice actor is Scott McNeil who is Blanca from the old Street FIghter and Proto Man from the Mega Man tv series. What's interesting is...the voice changes towards some characters. Gundam fans would already know this, but Domon Kasshu's VA is Mark Gatha, who became a doctor. Milliardo's VA ended up voice Heero due to death threats made to the voice actor (I could be very wrong about that so don't quote me on that). Kamille (who is indeed a girl's name) had like 3 different voice actors, 1 in the anime and 2 in the game. I could go on and on, but due know that these 3 games are the only times, if you're a dub watcher like myself, you can hear Elpeo Puru, Puru 2, Loran Cehack, Uso Ewin, Garrod Ran, and Tiffa Adill in english. Honestly, those voices aren't bad. Especially after watching their respective shows. Anyways, if you're interested in seeing some more character interaction like Milliardo interacting with Domon and Puru 2, then check out the Super Robot War series. If you have a Switch or a PS4, then I recommend getting SRW V/X/T since those have been translated by Southeastern Asia and are compatible with the Switch or PS. If you're looking for a more recent SRW game then get 30, it's on Steam. To put it simply, SRW is a series that's like Smash with it's crossovers, but with mecha, and plays like Fire Emblem, but with Mecha. Crossovers with shows such as Getter Robo (mainly Armageddon which is just absolutely amazing), Mazinger Z, the Gundam series (mainly with Amuro so the original Gundam or Char's Counterattack), Neon Genesis Evangelion, Code Geass, and so on. It's basically "Hey, if you like using *insert character name* from *insert name of anime*, go watch the anime," type of thing which is a nice way of people who like using those units might be interested in watching their show and see how they interact within their own world. For example, DLC pack 2 in 30 contains...Ultraman... To which was a good way for me to watch on Netflix since I was interested in seeing where they came from. Now Ultraman is not the first of the "But why though?" when an anime is inserted into SRW. T has Cowboy Bebop... It also helps fix some characters by giving them the character development that they never received or were robbed of. Looking at you Shinn Asuka from Gundam S.E.E.D. Destiny. People who've seen Destiny, dislike him. But there are those who have played SRW and have fallen in love with the character. It's worth your time if you want to watch other mecha series and create your dream team of mecha.

16:40 Www~ I've been got used by their -annoying- voice.. 😂👍 18:31 No way you got that perfectly! 🤣🤣 20:54 Frontal "Come with me!" Soldier "... (ayey captain)" 😂 Edit: Okay. I play _DW: Gundam 2_ the most compared the others. Because, i only play _DW: Gundam 3_ with friend and lost my interest since we never meet again due irl stuff. ( but really. _DW: Gundam 2_ is the game that unite me and my cousin as like a close brother. So much good memories in that game ) Thank you for reviewing and explain the game mechanic, comrade. Looking forward to your next upload. 😁🙏

dwg 3 also had 00 units as dlc for multiplayer and if i remember right non story modes which btw those units were pretty awesome

Honestly koei tecmo should make a new installment right now due to so many new Gundam ips since shin Gundam musou and with the new popularity of The Witch from Mercury. It would be really fun to try out mechs like Barbatos, the AGE 1-3 Gundams, the Build Fighters gunpla mechs, Xi Gundam and Gundam Aerial Edit: really myself maxing out 00 Raiser and ZZ Gundam in GDW3, they feel really good to use

10:00 *record scratch* In samurai warriors 2, the main characters are given two unique special abilities. Oichi abilities are Summon aid that summons one of the very special npc fighters and Ally boost/heal. That can heal people around you. Being yes likely the first. Unless a musha game allowed healing items used to heal party members or when one piece used its " im nearly dead please save me," heal circle

I played 2nd for 250 hours, then start playing 3rd and stopped playing 3rd. There are so many new good and bad, that I just can't played it more than hour. Unlike 2nd was amazing development of 1st Thanks for the review)

And these've got some pretty good original music too.

Hope there compiled together for modern consoles

I really wish they make a new DW Gundam game, I miss playing those.

I didn’t have a PlayStation growing up so I never played a lot of games the original three Dynasty warrior Gundam games. Although I did switch from Xbox 360 to the PS3 and ended up buying Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn which I believe was the fourth game in the series? But it had no English dubbing, but I fucking adored the game and as you said got me into a lot of the earlier series ending in me watching The original series, and Zeta. I’m kinda curious why you didn’t cover Reborn tbh but that’s solely because it’s the one I played the most.

Hey, have you ever heard of DWG: Reborn? It only came out on PS3 digitally in the US, It’s interesting if you haven’t seen it yet.

Gundam ...fuck yeah!

Power Rangers Warriors for the win! Still play this on my PS3 every now and again. Wish they would release these again, or just give us a 4.

We really need a new entry in the series or at least a way to play the old ones on modern platforms. I will forever keep my PS3 to play stuff like this.

I think one is the best, I love the fighting in 3 but the mission structure and map design are both stale, you mostly just end up at the enemy HQ and fight in the same square arena. Also idk about anyone else but i has alot of bugs in 3 there are like 5 or so missions that either won’t conclude or just wont launch

I like this video. I believe you're underrated sir, good shit tho👌✊

If I was fighting any boss level stage I make sure I'm armed to the teeth with extreme high level stats to make it easier my favourite gundam is the strike freedom gundam

I have played them all 1.2.3 Gundam Dynasty Warriors 100% trophy s completed.. Now Gundam Dynasty Warriors Reborn .. I love playing this one there's so many Gundam s an Mobil suites that even intruding all of the Giant Mobil Armors can be played .. Lol

Man, i grew up playing these games without even knowing what gundam or dynasty warriors even was

DWG 4 reborn was digital purchase only but i think its for the ps4 too

I liked that intro

Are you going to review DWG Reborn?

10:06 Actually, there is one I can think of. Hyrule warriors (the first one) put a circle around badly wounded ally commander which heal them when you get inside.

WE ARE GUNDAMS!

Burning Gundam was my main in GDW3 and I maxed out all the characters suits and beat the missions even the 2 online ones when you had to fight as the foot soldier suits with Musha Gundams smh lol

WE. ARE. GUNDAMS!!!

Plz make review of Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn

2, always and forever. It just hit that sweet spot. And I love me some extra modes in my Dynasty Warriors games, and 2 had the best in my opinion. Sure, it might not have had some of your favorite suits. But it had a great roster, a great selection of story modes, and the mechanics and grinding was JUST right. The maps and art direction in 3 really sucked to me, and for some reason Reborn just felt too "busy".

What do you think about reborn?

DW Gundam 1 was my favorite as well but for different reasons. It was kinda my introduction to Gundam as a whole so I look at it as a game more than as part of the series. To me I like that the fights are actual fights, Gundam 2 has that as well, but it's not long after the opening dialog that I beat an Ace pilot. In Gundam 1 that didn't happen, I see an Ace and it's going back and forth for a good while. Especially if they're on fire. The scale of the battles were large and grand. In Gundam 1 when things got dire you FELT it-

If you could only pick up 2 of these games. Would you you pick 1 and 3?

Why is Shin Gundam Musou/Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn not included?

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 4 is still on my wishlist 🤣 The sad part is, none of the dynasty warriors gundam games are in the ps5 store.

dont forget dynasty warriors gundam reborn

RW:i'll never get the chance to play these games anymore.😔

I'd love for it to come to ps4 and ps5
