Samurai Warriors 5 – New Look, Old Garbage (Jimpressions)



New merch store!
Samurai Warriors 5 manages to disappoint me despite being part of an increasing franchise of letdowns. The Warriors series overall is in a total slump, has been for years, and yet I keep hoping for better.

Tecmo Koei went the “reboot” route with this one – a silly idea if you know your Warriors games – and it’s been used as an excuse to cut yet more corners. Of course it has.

  1. We can’t forget about what they DID to Zhang He in Dynasty Warriors IX.

  2. OBJECTIVE! You have to look at the important unskippable objectives every time.

  3. I’d much rather get my PS2 out and play Kessen III. That was a pretty good game.

  4. *Bonus Objective:* “Never forget what they _DID_ to Zhang He.”

    *Bonus Objective:* “Get Zhang He’s claws back.”

  5. Samurai Warriors: Minimum Common Denominator, but Even Less of It Edition

  6. I feel like calling a game “lazy” is usually not referring to the actual development, rather thinking about the overall design or direction

  7. Ironically, I would play shit out of a game where you are a weapon that is passed from person to person as an heirloom or won in battle. Don’t like your current wielder? Just let em die unfairly in battle!

  8. As The Grand Archpriest of The Church of the Algorithm, I bless this video with a comment.

  9. “The Katana has 3 characters”

    So accurate it hurts.

  10. ive always admired the dedication of Dynasty Warrior normie soldiers. imagine seeing a powerful warrior take on 30, 40, 50 of you at once, launching them several feet into the air and seeing them fall to their deaths, but you STILL charge towards them with your normie spear. Quite admirable.

  11. C’mon. Tell us how you REALLY feel. It’s OK; we’re here for ya.

  12. I can’t remember a single bonus objective I’ve ever done. This series is killing the die hards lol.

    Did they never learn they could just turn the bonus objective pausing in the settings? It’s just there for the first timers anyway.

  14. It is like the intelligent but lazy student that only does well when someone is looking to make sure they do their schoolwork.

  15. I for one think it’s very progressive that they included the long-forgotten feudal Japanese vuvuzelas with every bonus objective. Such innovation!
