32 of 32 · most liked firstIt's not even the first time Yasuke has been depicted in sengoku-era video games. It's not even the -second- time. I could understand folks missing Samurai Warriors 5 since not everyone's a Musou game lifer, but dude was in Nioh! Both Niohs!

unlabelledView post →Samurai Warriors 5 and Dynasty Warriors Origins have legit been the only exceptions I can think of, every other game is a "wait for a PC port/port to newer consoles" type beat
unlabelledView post →Okay now that I have context: I was approached by editors to review licensed musous (including Samurai Warriors 5 and Age of Calamity) because I deeply knew the genre, which I appreciate, but I also feel like you SHOULD be able to review a musou game -- esp. a licensed one -- w/out being a fan.

unlabelledView post →We need positive things today. Tell me what game you are currently playing,what book you're reading, or what music makes you happy right now. I'm currently playing Samurai Warriors 5, not because it's a brilliant game, but because it's silly and mindless. Sometimes that's the best thing.
unlabelledView post →If you play any of the newer stuff -- even Samurai Warriors 5, a game I genuinely enjoyed -- the number of movesets is EXTREMELY limited by comparison, and there's a focus on 'here's 10 generic weapons anyone can use' That cuts out the heart of DW: playing absolute batshit wild almost-an-OC chars!

unlabelledView post →Samurai Warriors 5 is such a weird game because it isn't bad but I don't think it's very fun to revisit. idk it's one I sometimes forget they released in the first place. I'm more reminded of it simply because it was the game they overhauled everything and some of it shouldn't have been changed.
unlabelledView post →Been a good while since I played a musou game so I started Samurai Warriors 5 and so far so good. It’s definitely a musou game.

unlabelledView post →Samurai Warriors 5: The reason I prefer the SW games over the DW games is the more absurd and bombastic presentation. While this game takes that down a notch (at least so far) I do like the new visual style, character designs, and the more straightforward story telling.

unlabelledView post →Why does a simple game causes my PC to implode, even Samurai Warriors 5 didn't do this
unlabelledView post →Man I really want to play a Samurai Warriors game but dunno which. Samurai Warriors 5 looks the best of them but I hear lots of people critical of it, plus the cast is much reduced (No Dare Masamune) Samurai Warriors 4 Spirit of Sanada feels to focused on the Sanada clan
unlabelledView post →Hell he was in Samurai Warriors 5 which came out like 4 years ago, and nobody said shit then. I guess nobody played that game. He's cool in it too!
unlabelledView post →Hey, remember when Japanese video game company Koei Tecmo had a scenario in Samurai Warriors 5 where Yasuke learns the way of the samurai from Ieyasu Tokugawa, but Assassin's Creed Shadows is a western developer being woke?
unlabelledView post →2. Samurai Warriors 5 made by a Japanese developer has Yasuke in it. 3. Loads of the Japanese comments angry at the game on forums are from users with English usernames and sentences pushed through Google translate. So why the extra levels of hate for Shadows? It's very simple, racism.
unlabelledView post →Still the Dead Space remake. About halfway through. And Genshin Impact on PC. I haven't played Samurai Warriors 5 but SW 4 impressed me as being a lot better than the average latter-day Musou game...
unlabelledView post →I know this is a stretch and probably won't happen either, but I'm hoping for a Warriors Orochi game to be made that has the Dynasty Warriors origin characters and the Samurai Warriors 5 characters. I really like the style, design, and cell shading of SW5 characters, and I love their personalities!

unlabelledView post →Samurai Warriors 5 was such a great game. It wasn't even a sequel, it was a reboot of the series with a cinematic story about the Warring States era of Japan. Obviously the musou combat is a blast, but the tragic story of two loyal friends drifting apart and what drives them to it was incredible.
unlabelledView post →Seriosuly though having to actually fully engage with all the fames systems both offensive and defensive even on normal difficulty is such a good ass feeling for a dynasty warriors game. Its everything I liked about Samurai Warriors 5 without the parts I didn’t like.
