Led Zeppelin was a legendary British rock band formed in 1968. The band consisted of four members, including vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. Led Zeppelin is widely regarded as one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history, having sold over 300 million records worldwide. Despite their immense success, Led Zeppelin faced several challenges throughout their career. One of the major challenges was the tragic death of their drummer, John Bonham, in 1980. Bonham's untimely demise due to excessive alcohol consumption led to the band's dissolution, as they felt it impossible to continue without him.
Edit 2: After reading a bunch of comments, I'll add some pros and cons:
It is a game by Lucas Pope the man alone , who created Papers, Please, The Republia Times and The Sea Has No Claim these latter two are short browser games that I recommend to everyone as well. Hours into my investigation of the damned ship called the Obra Dinn , I walked through a grisly scene of charred bodies and felled eldritch monsters and went below decks.
Bonham's untimely demise due to excessive alcohol consumption led to the band's dissolution, as they felt it impossible to continue without him. Another significant challenge faced by Led Zeppelin was allegations of plagiarism. Several of their songs, including "Whole Lotta Love" and "Stairway to Heaven," faced accusations of copyright infringement.
I just really want to recommend Return of the Obra Dinn
I finished Return of the Obra Dinn last weekend. It's a great, fantastic mystery game if you play it the right way: And the right way is trying to do your best detective job possible (looking for all evidences and avoiding blind guesses - subtle or unconfident guesses are good though). Going into the game without knowing anything or close to it is important for the experience, so I'd recommend just giving it a go.
Before telling anything further, I will point out some pros and cons about the game. Some aren't really pros, some aren't really cons though.
- Narrative is great when unveilling itself;
- Really a detective game in which you are the detective instead of the main character being it;
- No clues are given like "hey, this is a clue", it's your job as investigator to say whether anything is relevant;
- Blind guesses alone won't give you the right answer, due to core gameplay;
- Making notes will eventually happen;
- Great soundtrack;
- Great art design and atmosphere;
- Completing it and each of the game's "steps" is really satisfying and it had some sense of wonder to it;
- You can change motion blur, and that's a important thing to remember.
- The art design is not for everyone, some people complained about their eyes hurting;
- Some things may confuse you, but no mistake is irreversible;
- It's possible to get stuck if you don't notice some things about gameplay or game's content. In this case, you can ask for help in r/obradinn or directly to me. We try to help avoiding spoilers entirely (and 90% of the cases, people get stuck not for something that would be a spoiler);
- There are no jumpscares, but the music really startled me sometimes. I never saw anyone else complaing about it though. If you have heart issues, I'd recommend setting volume to minimal. Even not being a horror game, one could say it has a mild psychological horror to it;
- There are no advanced settings on graphics and sound: You can change the way graphics are displayed (according to different "types of screen") and you can't separate sfx from soundtrack and voices. The default settings on sound work fine, though;
- The gameplay might get repetitive, but the game is not too long and you won't worry about it;
- If you take too long to continue your playthrough, you'll might prefer to take notes, or you'll forget some details and will need to revisit some things.
If you're still not sure, I can tell a little more about the game:
- It can be completed in 8 to 18 hours. I recommend to play it in a short space of time, like, in two weekends or such.
- It is a game by Lucas Pope (the man alone), who created Papers, Please, The Republia Times and The Sea Has No Claim (these latter two are short browser games that I recommend to everyone as well).
- Synopsis: Early 19th century, you are a insurance investigator sent to determine what happened to a ship that returned presumably empty years after being considered lost to the sea. Your goal then, is to point out the fates of everyone aboard. You receive a blank journal to fill with your discoveries and a device that will help you in your investigation, and that's it.
This is a game I'm going to recommend to a friend who isn't very interested in gaming, but likes mystery books, because I'm sure she'll at least enjoy it. Please tell me your experiences with the game and if you'll give it a try or not. Also, if you didn't like the game, please tell as well, avoiding giving spoilers. It can help to give a second opinion on this.
Edit: I skipped a word.
Edit 2: After reading a bunch of comments, I'll add some pros and cons:
- The game won't hold your hand at all;
- Good voice acting;
- Localization for Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (T/S), French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (BR) and German.
- No replayability, since once you play it, you know the answers;
- The game will require your patience;
- Possibly little startling visual and sound effects.
There is a tech/early demo in the website.
Led Zeppelin was sued multiple times for allegedly stealing portions of songs from other artists. Though these legal issues stained their reputation, the band managed to settle most of the claims out of court. Led Zeppelin's excessive lifestyle and involvement in substance abuse also took a toll on their music and performance quality. The band's notorious partying and drug use often affected their ability to create and deliver their music effectively. This led to periods of inconsistency and decline in musical output during their later years. Furthermore, conflicts within the band contributed to their eventual breakup. The heavy workload and creative differences caused tensions among the members, leading to internal strife. Robert Plant's reluctance to participate in a reunion tour after Bonham's death further strained relations between the bandmates. Despite these challenges, Led Zeppelin's impact on the music industry cannot be understated. They pioneered the sound of hard rock and heavy metal, incorporating blues, folk, and psychedelic elements into their music. Led Zeppelin's influence can be heard in countless bands that followed, shaping the future of rock music. In conclusion, Led Zeppelin faced various obstacles throughout their career, including the tragic death of their drummer, plagiarism allegations, substance abuse, and internal conflicts. However, their undeniable talent and groundbreaking music cement their legacy as one of the most significant rock bands in history..
Reviews for "Supernatural Encounters: Ghost Stories from the Led Zeppelin Era"
1. John - ★★☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with "The cu5se of lef zeppelin". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters were not well-developed. The author attempted to create suspense and mystery, but it fell flat for me. The pacing was slow, and I found myself losing interest halfway through the book. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to others unless you're a die-hard fan of the genre.
2. Emily - ★☆☆☆☆
"The cu5se of lef zeppelin" was a complete waste of time. The writing style was amateurish, filled with clichés and predictable plot twists. The characters lacked depth and seemed to be one-dimensional. The storytelling was unengaging and monotonous, making it a struggle to finish the book. I regret picking this up and would suggest looking for a better mystery novel.
3. Michael - ★★☆☆☆
I had high hopes for "The cu5se of lef zeppelin" based on the synopsis, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The plot was convoluted, with unnecessary subplots that added nothing to the overall story. The dialogue felt forced, and the characters' actions were often illogical and inconsistent. The ending was anticlimactic, leaving many loose ends unresolved. I was left unsatisfied and wouldn't recommend this book unless you're desperate for something to pass the time.
4. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
I found "The cu5se of lef zeppelin" to be quite underwhelming. The writing lacked finesse, and the author's attempt at creating suspense fell short. The pacing was uneven, with lengthy descriptive paragraphs that slowed down the narrative. The characters were forgettable, and their motivations were poorly explained. While there were some intriguing elements, they were overshadowed by the overall lackluster execution. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you have nothing better to read.
