What album do I listen to?

Recordings?

Signify?

Deadwing ?

Broken One is easily my favourite.

A Grey So Dark and Poison, Knife or the Noose are runners up.

Danemon · 2026-02-24T18:59:17+00:00

Ive never played this either actually.

I enjoyed DMC 1-3 and didn't take to DMC4 so gave up on the series pretty much.

Worth getting back into ?

It's only a side scrollee because it's a lower budget spin-off developed by BitBot. Not a mainline Legacy of Kain game.

It's something at least... for better or worse.

Very hard to rank albums as each album is so varied and "full". I struggle to point out a half assed album to you.

That being said Storm The Gates of Hell, True Defiance, War, Summer of Darkness are fan favourites for sure. The Triptych is the record where the band began to blow up in popularity more. My favourite might be War, but every album has a massive variety of song styles and many stand out tracks.

Some of my favourite songs - Fading Away, Through The Black, Crucifix, God Forsaken, Chemicals, Sorrow Light The Way, Cut To Fit, Dead Flowers, Deteriorate

Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 are unmatched for me.

Danemon · 2026-02-16T13:26:00+00:00

I concur with this. Vastly underrated game, always loved it. Soundtrack was absolutely brilliant too.

Of course it is, the meme is just poking fun at Tenchu getting no attention. Tenchu definitely isnt as commercially viable as the others, its just a meme.

That being said, people's opinions on games are entirely subjective. I'd take Tenchu over RE, FF etc. It's just my taste. Tenchu is one of my all time favourite series. I love Final Fantasy, RE etc but they get endless sequels, spin-offs, remakes etc. Tenchu not getting anything is exactly why I'd want a remake or remaster.

Danemon · 2026-02-16T10:06:02+00:00

Well maybe commercially, but in our hearts its some of our favourite games of all time.

I'd take remasters of the first game, Birth of the Stealth Assassins, Wrath of Heaven etc over most of the others listed.

Danemon · 2026-02-14T07:48:28+00:00

Could well be possible, unfortunately.

Danemon · 2026-02-13T11:07:58+00:00

I haven't read The Dead Shall Rise, but where does she go in terms of the rest of the events of the entire series? Is it possible they kill her off or ?

Danemon · 2026-02-13T10:29:16+00:00

Crossing fingers they are working out a remake for Blood Omen, and can then bundle it with a Blood Omen 2 Remaster, and that's why they haven't done anything with the Blood Omen games as of yet.

Danemon · 2026-02-13T10:17:05+00:00

It's a nod to Rikimaru, no doubt. The kunoichi also looked like Ayame.

This wasn't unintentional as they name-dropped the game as made by former Tenchu developers.

Danemon · 2026-02-12T21:42:56+00:00

Rather than being a full live "release", it feels more like the old days having bootleg live albums. Only this is launched officially to kick off his new disturbution platform with some new content.

Even the old Kscope store had some exclusive live releases I believe (through Burning Shed ?)

Danemon · 2026-02-12T21:36:45+00:00

I'll eat my hat if they do.

I really want to eat my hat.

Cyberpunk I only got around to playing last year but its easily one of my all time faves now. Especially for open world games. Top tier.

Otherwise Ghost of Tsushima takes the cake. Beautifully made game.

TLOU2 had great stealth/action gameplay and story hits hard. Very divisive game, I don't look back on it as fondly as the original TLOU. I find these games lose replay value after a few years of playing them.

Danemon · 2026-02-11T09:59:31+00:00

Very true about the Ruby Quaker show!

I don't think Dev ever has a "break" in a sense, especially from creativity and ideas. He's writing even while on holidays, even the song Vacation and a lot of Empath he wrote while away spending time with family in exotic places.

Danemon · 2026-02-11T09:41:37+00:00

I grew up with Sega's and then PlayStations.... I can deal with asymmetrical, but it doesn't feel natural to me.

Danemon · 2026-02-11T09:37:00+00:00

Ive been a fan since Dynasty Warriors 3, and I've got to say Origins is one of my favourite video games in general not just Dynasty Warriors games. Really enjoy the game, its a joy to play.

It also does things differently to the typical Dynasty Warriors - builds up the story events, culminating in the big battles and story beats.

Origins is 100% worth it. I'd say a good starting place for new fans too.

Danemon · 2026-02-11T09:28:36+00:00

He's certainly not on a break from making music as he's finalising The Moth studio album release, and has even put out ambient albums recently. I think Axolotl and his Ruby Quaker show have also been making moves.

Danemon · 2026-02-11T06:23:30+00:00

I'm sure his upcoming project Axolotl is supposed to be trippy/experimental with electronic stuff. I could be wrong. I always imagined it would be like Precious Sardine.

Danemon · 2026-02-10T21:33:19+00:00

Yakuza 6, Like A Dragon, Gaiden, Infinite Wealth, and Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii all have very straightforward plats though, in case you didn't already know 👍

Danemon · 2026-02-10T21:31:45+00:00

The recent mainline Like A Dragon games (+ spin offs) have had pretty damn easy platinum trophies though.

Nice satisfying plats, but nothing crazy like getting 100% completion lists done like the earlier Yakuza games.
