28.07.2025 12:52 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Anyway thank you for coming to my TED Talk, one measly playtrough and I've stuck it back in the box and looking to pick up complete DW8 and SW5 on Steam. ๐ด๐ป
27.07.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0After all that though, it still feels like a more worthwhile attempt at a reboot compared to Samurai Warriors 5, at least this has tried something new for the series even if it hasn't clicked with me. SW5 basically gutted a whole load of content just for a soft narrative reboot with the same engine.
27.07.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Gameplay wise; The huge battles just become an absolute mess as well, actually felt more block-locked in these than I ever did in the old ones with rigid combo structures and none of the skills to use. And the amount of times that the action pauses to show you a tactic or action from elsewhere ๐๐๐
27.07.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And having more cutscenes than a Square rpg. Also annoying to me that they've finally focussed and expanded on the pre-3k era and there's no new characters added cos why would they when you're just playing as mute rpg hero? Would have been cool to see some new faces.
27.07.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Like I get the formula was jaded for a lot of folks, but somehow basically turning into parry mash with a bare bones Ubisoft experience in between levels was not massively fun. Controlling one single bland character and going through inconsequential dialog choices for the whole game ๐๐๐
27.07.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Finally finished a playthrough of DW Origins, and I do not get how people are loving it. Probably just a different perspective of people who liked the old ones, but this feels worse than pretty much any iteration I can remember (I skipped 9 cos I could tell that was doodoo from the get go)

Hadn't heard of Oreglo before seeing them support, big thumbs up for tuba representation and overall jazziness

Outdoor gigs in Scotland, a good idea? When the rain stays off aye
Geordie Greep's band is 10/10, could do with another album of material but all great musicians. Was not expecting the jazz-ish equivalent of Slipknot with 2 drummers and percussion
Getting some Greek scran before a gig and the place seems to be playing Greek rap metal or something, I'm down

Some albums I've been digging this year:
open.spotify.com/track/1SkY6n...
And extra points to anyone who can provide evidence of good country music. Cos outside of a few moodier, more folky southern gothic type songs, I'm convinced that country in its entirety is a giant steaming pile.
29.05.2025 10:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0It's an absolute ballache to find new music outside of your bubble due to everything being overly-algorithmic and reinforcing what you already listen to. So if anyone has any good hip-hop, jazz or electronic recommendations, or any other general bangers, fire them here plz!
29.05.2025 10:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Last year I had a bit of a personal challenge to listen to more new (to me) bands and artists. Ended up being a very metal centric year but definitely enjoyed it. This year I've been trying to do the same but broaden it to other genres, but despite music being more available than ever [cont.]
