Game Diary

did not expect the story to be this good, the postgame's was kinda ehh though except the ending which was nice (the final CG is really sweet). i know it seems like a given for this kinda of game but i was blown away by the exploration, most of the dungeons are so fun to go through and figure out, handing out the wall-breaking skill so early is great, it pairs really well with the perverted level design. the core gameplay and building characters is a lot at first but it's manageable in the end if you're willing to grind (it's a NIS game), you can make some truly broken builds. luca, dronya, and isara are angels, i'll miss them.

so good. loved the way each town has a little story to tell, they're all really nice too. the music and graphics are freaking Great! only downsides for me is the antagonists aren't that good and the tl is kinda iffy (it didn't crash on me a single time but i did see a lot of untranslated optional dialogue), it's not the game's fault though, likely clears the SE tl too. crazy bittersweet ending to the zenithia trilogy, i love dragon quest. also you're telling me this is the black sheep of the series?? LOL

womp womp

this was a weird one for me because i like super metroid so much but overall i'd say i liked it. the way you're constantly going from point A to B because of adam is the part that killed some of the enjoyment for me, other than that it's good.

re1 but.. even better? i feel like this one was more action-focused but it works and it still has actually (really) scary bits. the ada/birkin parts were great. i only did claire's true end and she was badass, more so than leon lol, "i have to find my brother" yes queen you do.

i was having a great time during the jill route but goddamn, everything clicked when i started the chris route right after, the design was genuinely so good it put me in a flow state. so much stuff i like and a ton of fun, popping heads with the shotgun felt awesome.

coming from enemy zero this was such a breeze and actually kind of fun to play. though the meat of the game isn't really the gameplay but its characters and themes which were great. the whole digital actors thing is so cool i wish we got to see that more by other devs. only complaint is an accessibility one which i wouldn't expect from an eno work but the game would have benefited from having subtitles, at times i couldn't tell wth the characters were saying over the music/sound effects #esl. all in all fantastic piece, disc 4 was amazing, rip king eno.

everything i dislike about shenmue 1 and worse (disc 3). it's alright though, i forgive the game because the final disc was great. i'll also give it some credit as the feeling of being alone in a foreign land is unmatched and a great contrast to the first game.

aka carpal tunnel syndrome simulator. critics are calling it "the only valid ball game." gave up on master and king (true final boss type shit) because wtf you need to be an actual machine to beat that 2v2 match. the AI is kinda insane sometimes but apart from that it's great.

i understand everything now.

it's "Home."

it's ok i liked it. there's some cool ideas and the visuals are fun sometimes but the overall quality is a far cry from anything pre-no more heroes. the ktp cameos made me wince so much, it used to be done in good taste but it just feels like marvel crap now.. adventure game next or i riot.

this game has an insane amount of content crammed into it for its time and the way they made it all work together in harmony while also creating the multiple mystery route genre (allegedly) is crazy. having everything interconnect with the A.D.M.S was an ambitious move, i could picture the devs racking their brains trying to make it work, and it turned out great. despite what some people would have you believe the last route is actually good and doesn't ruin the game, far from it.

a lot more fun than 1, the spin dash and level variety are great, and tails is cute af. the game feeling less arcade-y works for the better, for me at least. last boss was brutal but thank god for the slew of continues and lives they give you.

love the exploration and all the fmvs but fighting the enemies was annoying af or i'm just bad. it's the same deal as silent hill's combat but amped up to 200% + the enemies are invisible. it works and it is scary but that AND limited saves/loads made me wanna [REDACTED]. very unique game.

if you know me you know i'm not well-versed in the blue hedgehog but i'm trying to work on it.. this was good except Scrap Brain fuck that, might go back and get the true end at some point but rn i cba. starlight zone ost so good.

gay /pos. the way everything looks and sound is so satisfying i'm not sure how they made it work so well. limited but great cast of characters, i'd have liked if it was just a tiny bit longer or focused less on gameplay for more nice story bits, though i can why it wouldn't work as well narratively. the tts for pistol was a nice touch.

i was sadly tortured as a child (raised on DQIX) so i never got to play this one until recently by going through the games in numbered order and it was a blast. this is like The Adventure, the final party made me feel warm inside. we need more games like this but i don't know if they'll be able to hit like DQV does, both as an RPG and a Story of Life.. #raw i'll play the SFC version eventually, very interested to see how some of the scenes were originally presented.

seiken densetsu 2 if it was good and came out a generation earlier. has some stuff i like from sd1 but improved upon even though it released earlier?? very ahead of its time and solid in every aspect especially the story. i didn't like the maze-like dungeons and debuffs but still good.

best nes/fc game i've ever played, granted i've only played like 15 or so but still. somehow doesn't feel that dated at all especially compared to ffiii, i think it would surprise a lot of people. the AI in chapter 5 can be a bit silly (cristo moment) but other than that everything's on point. dqv next!!

it's kamige. the aura of aria of sorrow. the swag of portrait of ruin. the town of cv2! no spoilers but everything past half the game.. wowie. it was fun to 100% unlike all the other ones so that's cool. combo is calling it "the best one." and he loves shanoa.

funゲー, got like 3/4 of all the item drops then realized iron golem existed and destroyed the final boss, NO Thanks. nearly as good as AoS in my opinion.

aria of sorrow without the sauce, legion isn't in this?? feels so good to play though. and great Women sprites.

i love money, power, family, robbing people, abducting animals, digging.. but what i love the most is tron bonne.

got tired of waiting for an undub that will never happen so i decided to finally play this. rollchan is cute! babu/10.
