Samurai Warriors 4 Empires: New Update and Yukata DLC

Just read the newest update on the Samurai Warriors 4 Empires... They have 6 sets of new clothes for custom character... Also some new voices... And it seems that you can also give your custom character parents (like in Romance of Three Kingdoms XI) and/or choose with whom your character will have compability.

There's also confirmation that there IS marriage in Samurai Warriors 4 Empires! (^O^) So, I didn't mishear or misunderstand when I watched the PV some time back... Wow, to be honest, I never thought that they'd ever include marriage system in Samurai Warriors Empires games... But since they do now, I guess I'll have fun marrying everybody - well, not everybody, of course, only the gorgeous-looking ones... ^^; And yes, unlike in DW8 Empires where I keep on marrying one man - Xun Yu - all the time, in the upcoming SW4 Empires I'll certainly absolutely marry different guys every time! xp

(Yeah, well, provided I will be able to somehow figure out the game with all the kanji, of course... x_x;)

Anyway, here's Takakage looking extremely yummy in yukata... <333

Hehehe... *pounces* xp

Toukiden Kiwami: Slaying Metagnost

YouTube Link

Metagnost is the final Oni boss for Kiwami chapters. I've finished Toukiden Kiwami long time ago but only now I feel like uploading this video. 

A lot of people who play the game said that the final battle with Metagnost is underwhelming... And I have to agree; it indeed IS! x_x; For an oni which is said to be very powerful etc, it went down very fast - it took me only 7-8 minutes to defeat it. And like you can see in this video, it's not even an exciting battle... I still enjoy fighting Snowflame a lot better! :@/

Crazy For Snacks!

Went and bought some snacks... 

... Well, actually bought a little too many snacks... ^^;

And yesh, I love Pocky! <333

Guess It's Another (Lousy!) Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires Video

YouTube Link

Some time back I saw there's a new patch for DW8 Empires... I thought I read on the patch notice; something about family members dialogue more often... But I guess I must have read wrong because I didn't see the change/improvement during battle - if anything, Xun Yu didn't even say his usual praise for me during this entire battle! x_x; Oh well, at least the patches have made him want to actively help me lately (4:10-4:16) - now that's what I call 'spousal support'! *nods, nods in approval* xp 

And Guo Jia still likes to initiate grand tactics one after another; ice and fire... Though the battle was won before his grand tactic fire could start. ^^; 

And WTF with Guan Xing suddenly having a different musou attack?!! (3:54-3:57) He apparently borrowed his father's weapon and whacked me with it! x_xm

Yeah, this current campaign is the longest campaign I've ever played in DW8 Empires... Still not over yet because I just played a bit and then take a long break again. ^^; BTW, the last time I popped back to the game, Xun Yu didn't gift me, ne... Usually he will gift me as soon as I get back into the game... Tsk, so this time he doesn't miss me, is that it?! :@/ It's Guo Jia who gifted me, instead... *hears Guo Jia saying I miss you, I miss you in the background* orz

Story Of Seasons: Klaus' Yellow Flower Event

YouTube Link

Yeahh, I was - and still am, actually - annoyed with Story of Seasons... And yeahh, I'm still playing it... Not because I'm such a masochist or something, it's because I have nothing else better to do... :@/

Actually these days I've been driving myself crazy wanting things that are out of my reach... Oh well, I guess like Sheryl Crow said; It's not having what you want, but wanting what you've got... Easier said than done, though... :@/

*sighs*

Sims 4 Spa Day

YouTube Link

The newest game pack for Sims 4; Spa Day, got released yesterday... I really don't have anything to say about it - whether a praise or complaint - simply because, well, there are other things that have been occupying my mind (and piquing my interest as well) these days... And I don't really care much about spa... Nor do I play much of Sims games lately. Dunno why, even with all the adds-on, I now find Sims games very boring... Even the Sims 4's new stuff can't rekindle my burnt-out passion for Sims games. :@/

Sims 4 Hot Tub, Bears and Failed Woohoo

YouTube Link

$10-unworthy-hot tub, bears and failed woohoo. Sounds like the story of my life, indeed. :@/

And stupid YouTube is messing up my video thumbnail again...! Tsk, fine, have it your way; see if I give a damn! x_x

So Pissed Off With Story of Seasons! x_x

Been playing this game for a while now and I can say that for me, personally, I think A New Beginning is so much far better! While there are some improvements that come with Story of Seasons, personally I find that most of the changes in this game is more troublesome and annoying rather than fun and convenient! :@/

What I'm going to rant now, in particular, is about the birthday celebration when dating... This system has also changed a bit compared to A New Beginning, but unfortunately nobody bothers to share the valuable information with others! Not even those who make guide/walkthrough of the game - thanks so much, guys, for doing such a half-ass job! (>.<) 

Anyway, let me explain the problem in detail... The thing is, in A New Beginning, when it's your boyfriend/girlfriend's birthday, you can give him/her birthday present earlier on the day and then at evening you'll celebrate their birthday together... And so, since no information saying otherwise for Story of Seasons, a lot of players, including me myself, assume that the rule is still the same. HOWEVER! To my surprise and annoyance, on Spring 24, which is Klaus' birthday, I gave him gift in the morning and then later in the evening when I tried to trigger the birthday celebration event, I got NOTHING! No matter what I did, no matter how many times I walked into my house at different times between 5-11 pm, I got NOTHING! I tried walking into his house instead, still NOTHING! Since nothing works, I then dreaded that perhaps it's because I gave him gift earlier... And too bad I've saved after I gifted him, so I can't experiment with my hypothesis... But just now I looked around online and someone at Game FAQ forum mentioned exactly what I thought! And so, I guess it's safe - and official - to say that in Story of Seasons, you can't give birthday gift and do celebration as well; you gotta choose one or another... TALKING ABOUT BEING LAME! :@/

I was so pissed off - well, I still am, actually - that I felt like punching Klaus in the face! (>.<) Yeah, well, I know that it's not his fault, but still...! :@/ 

Another troublesome thing that I haven't really experienced myself yet, but I've known that it's bound to happen whether I like it or not; the fact that in Story of Seasons I gotta train the dog(s) first in order for them to be able to herd the livestocks... TALKING ABOUT ANNOYING, TROUBLESOME AND WHAT A WASTE OF TIME! I really can't understand why they don't make it simple like in A New Beginning; buy dog(s) and then assign them to herd the animals - DONE! I already waste so much time in a day running from field to field just to tend the crops and I still need to TRAIN dogs or they won't want to work - just being fat and useless and waste pet food!!? Whoever came up with this lousy idea needs to be KICKED hard in the ass! Same with whoever came up with idea of doing the separate public fields! What a waste of time!

And so, in conclusion, I can only say that this game is a big disappointment... AND A BIG WASTE OF TIME! (>.<) I've never feel so annoyed with harvest moon games before, until this fucked-up Story of Seasons!

Samurai Warriors 4 Empires PV

YouTube Link

There's finally a PV for the upcoming SW4 Empires... And is it just me - and my misunderstanding and misreading and mishearing - or is there really a marriage system in Samurai Warriors Empires game now!? O.O Because I think I saw Sakon marrying a lady that somehow, in my eyes, looks a bit like Wang Yi from DW... Custom character, perhaps? *blinks, blinks* 

Oh well, I guess I shall find out myself when I get the game in September... Provided I can somehow understand all the kanji in order to figure it out... x_x;

(In case if it's true, let's see; whom I shall marry.... Hmm... Hehehe xp)

Story of Seasons: Exchange Ring with Klaus

YouTube Link

I'd actually prefer to trigger the reverse ring exchange event, but one of the requirements for it is to give at least 100 gifts... And I'm currently already in Spring Year 2; I calculated that I might be able to trigger the reverse ring exchange event some time in Summer Year 2... But I guess I had run out of my patience... ^^; So, what the heck, I did the confession myself, lah! Actually I could've done it much earlier - some time in Fall year 1 since I had been able to make the ring already then... 

Oh well, I'll just trigger the reverse proposal later lah... It may happen in one year time - Spring Year 3, though... Let's see if I'd be patient enough to wait that long... If not, then maybe I'll do the proposal myself as well...! xp

Samurai Warriors 4-II: Cat Paw Stick and Panda

YouTube Link

FEEL THE POWER OF CAT PAW STICK... AND PANDA! xp

New History - Incident At Honnouji is an additional stage DLC... In this scenario, everybody eventually turns against Nobunaga, not just Mitsuhide and Matsunaga... Even Hideyoshi became the enemy towards the end! O.o Oh well, it's what you can expect from hypothetical scenario... Still, the more is the merrier, I guess... Really the kind of situation that I like! *with a little sarcasm* xp

Anyway, I read the latest update on SW4 Empires site, and it does sound that SW4 Empires will be a bit more complicated than DW8 Empires... However, I believe it still won't be like RTK where everything depends on strategy... So, I think I'll be OK... Probably... ^^; And I still wonder about the ability to switch up to 8 characters during battle - will it be a good or bad thing... There will be formations too... I'm not that good at such thing, ne... But then again, I mostly will just play at normal difficulty, so I think I'll be OK... Probably... ^^;

Samurai Warriors 4-II: Pippi in Infinite Castle Part 5

YouTube Link

Having a powerful DLC weapon doesn't make Infinite Castle mode any easier... Not for me, at least. ^^; And Yukimura must like me very much because I fight him a lot here. xp Now he's always together with his older brother - well, I'll take them both anytime! xp Also, must whack Mitsunari... Gomen, Mitsunari-sama! x_xm 

I'm waiting for September to hurry come... So that I can get SW4 Empires in my paws... *purposely forgetting that the game will all be in mostly kanji again*
