With all the Switch 2 hoopla, I forgot about the weekly thread.

This was also a busy week, as predicted, so didn't get to do any gaming at all. Things should be getting back to normal though.

Plan to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the weekend, and then continue Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition from Monday.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

My friend keeps referencing a quote from Samurai Warriors (the first one, PS2 era) so on a lark I surprised her with a co-op session via parsec. Best musuo era, for sure, although that acting makes us both laugh. (I never played it, why is Nobunaga Oda a Japanese Darth Vader?!)

Isn't it too dated now?

Also, I am curious, what's the quote?

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Graphically, it's a little silly in curscenes but everything else holds up except for a weird level up system. The combos and combat are somehow better than later games since it's tougher and every enemy counts (polygon counts keep it from the comical amounts in later games where you attack once and like 50 people die). Every character gets a campaign with multiple endings, too, which is something I missed.

The quote is Okuni's "a dreeaaaam, an illusioooon~" monologue in her ending because the VA is uh... not great, and my friend does the voice spot on.

lol, watched the video. The game looks seems fine, but you are correct about the VA 😀
