Humble Choice October 2024 Review – So Long and Thanks for All the Games.

Kinglink1 Comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s October 2024. And this will be my final Humble Choice Review.

I mentioned at the end of the last video that I have been making Humble Choice Reviews for five years, as of September and so I’m making one last video for all of you. After that, I am not planning to continue the Humble Choice coverage on this channel. If you still want excellent reviews of the Humble Choice, please check out Stealthy Shiroen’s videos. I’ll try to add a card here, and a link in the description. 

That being said, I still have to cover the Humble Choice October 2024 review, and you know what, this is ending with a major set of games. 

One other piece of bad news, unfortunately there was an audio issue with at least with our first two games, the video won’t sound correct, however the audio did sound correct on my TV, so… There’s something going on but I don’t see any complaints about it so I’m assuming it’s a personal issue. There is enjoyable music still, but it’s lacking the central channel with the voice audio. I spent over two hours working on this. I’d work more on it, but with this being the last video. Ehh. we’ll live. These reviews have never been intended to be a Let’s Play, so check one of those if you want a better auditory experience.

Let’s get started with what’s on the screen.

Dynasty Warriors 3 Retro Review – Rediscovering the classic

I’m Kinglink and… ugh… Dynasty Warriors 9 is so … meh. 

There’s something I’ve been struggling with for the last half of 2023, and while it’s older than that time period, I think Dynasty Warriors 9 is an example of it.  It feels like games have been made to be more disposable.  More designed to give you dopamine hits for enjoying it but also able to shake you off and make you go play the next thing the company produces before long or designed more with microtransaction than quality in mind.  Nothing radically improves, and especially with sequels, there’s this feeling of average games being treated as great milestones because the fans want them.

But also not in Dynasty Warriors 9’s case.  Oh boy no, Dynasty Warriors 9 is a perfect example of something much more problematic.  It’s a sequel that simply isn’t as good. A sequel that tried something different, and has not found more than a couple of fans. And because of that… it just made me want to go back to where I first fell in love with the series.
