If I recall correctly he wasn't in the first one, and then was a fairly hard-to-get unlockable in 2, before joining Guan Yu as pretty much the mascot of the entire franchise.<BR/><BR/>Closed online gaming... you might be well served by the forthcoming Hellgate: London, if that shapes up to be half the fun it seemed like at the Tokyo Game Show.Greg Tannahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823898295759037081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24434266.post-1162547455466189612006-11-03T20:50:00.000+11:002006-11-03T20:50:00.000+11:00I usually shy away from MMO these days, but I have...I usually shy away from MMO these days, but I have to say that an online Dynasty Warriors sounds like good fun to me, provided I can play cooperatively with my friends in a closed game. <BR/><BR/>With my impending trans-continental move, I need some online games as options for playing with my UK friends.<BR/><BR/>Shame you couldn't get it working. :(<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, Lu Bu was considered the strongest warrior in the Three Kingdoms era, but is actually a relatively minor part of the story, dying before the first quarter of the tale is concluded. He was a real historical figure who lived from 156-198 AD. His horse, Red Hare, ended up being the steed of Guan Yu, a hero so beloved that his statue can be found throughout China and in particular at every police station in Hong Kong.<BR/><BR/>This has been a randomly triggered unsolicited info-dump. Mention the Three Kingdoms era - I will ramble! ;)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550565723765898399noreply@blogger.com
