I beat Ghirahim for the last time, I went to face Demise but realised I was totally underpowered. I got stuck in the phase where Demise receives lightning powers through his sword, I just couldn’t figure out what I had to do, so I looked up the answer online. I realised that people used shields! I have on one occasion found a shield useful in battle, ONE!! So I never obviously thought about bringing something that I never had any use of...

It was a bit unsatisfactory to have to leave the fight in search of a bloody shield. I decided to get the best possible shield I could get my hands on. I went to the Bazar to buy the best one then upgrade it to its ultimate form. When I saw that the “Sacred Shield” could be upgraded to the “Goddesses Shield”, I was 100% sure that it was the “Hylian Shield”, since the Goddess could be synonymous with Hylia. I upgraded and... nope, I got some other stupid shield.

I once went online to search for answers, I googled how to get the Hylian Shield and I found out that you could get it from the lightning dragon, which actually promised to give you something in return of your heroics, which I totally forgot about but remembered exactly when I saw it.

I got the shield but I didn’t feel fully satisfactory, I thought to myself: why not just 100% the game while I’m at it. My hype will then skyrocket for the last encounter: Demise/Ganondorf(?)/Ganon(?)

Only reason for me wanting to master the game is because I love it, despite its few flaws.

What great timing, just finished playing the game the same day as Skyward Sword HD came out.

I started playing Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze a couple of days ago. As of writing this review, I'm on the 5th world (Juicy Jungle). I can so far say that this is the best DK Country experience I've had!

07

I've come a long way, and I think that the adventure is about to come to an end. It makes me a bit sad because it has been such a good and lovely game.

06

What an incredible adventure so far. I was a bit lost when I needed to search for the sages. It requiered me to teleport to the 'Mother & Child iles' but I had no Idea how I'd unlock the teleportation ability. I eventually ended up looking for answers on Youtube, which is something I try not to do, but I think that it's worth it when you're hardstuck. But after that inconvenience, all went smooth as butter.

I now know why I played the hell out of this game as a child.

Just amazing

I began playing Wind Waker yesterday and I do recognise a lot of elements sense I’ve watched a lot of Wind Waker speedruns but because the speedruns make a lot of cuts from the story, I discovered alot of things that speedrunners skip. It’s like a new experience even though I’ve already know so much about the game.

The nostalgic overload is unreal!!

The first game I’ve ever emulated! I did it on Dolphin Emulator on my school PC. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it ran. Averaging 30fps@720p/1080p but with some sound scratching which can be quite annoying but it only occurs on certain places where my fps drops, such as when It’s loading.

03

It's my 3rd day of playing this game and it's just now getting interesting. The story is spicing up, but there's still a lot I can't comprehend.

The cutscenes are very impressive but It's at all times interrupted by the skip-button in the down right corner, very annoying indeed.

I had my little fun with the game so far. But I still don’t know where the story will wander. There have been these theories within the group that something feels corrupt about OSF and it’s cooperations.
I learned that even if you struggle on a level, you can give it another go right after. It’ll go smoother and you’ll actually start to like the level more.

After one hell of a search after this game, I finally ordered it online, meaning that I’d’ve to wait even longer for the delivery. Because of the wait, my hype for the game died out just a little bit.

While I was waiting I got to play ‘Sayonara Wildhearts’ and ‘Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D’ that I got from not so long ago.

My first impressions of ‘Scarlet Nexus’ are mainly positive. Combat can be frustrating if you mess up at times but it’s smooth as butter if you manage to get the most out of the fight. The characters felt to a beginning quite flat but I’ve grown to like them better. Each character is very stereotypical such as Katane which is the stubborn, short-wordy and unfriendly character. I’m looking forward to see how the story unfolds!
I thought that I'd complete the demo yesterday, so I was certain I'd do it today. But, it never showed a sign of it ending. I eventually went to google to look for answers and I found out the DEMO is 10 hours!!!

Started playing the DEMO today, I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and polished it was.

This doesn't have to do with the game but my eyesight became worsened, it's something I've never experienced before because I've always seen well. I was therefore very scared, but because I'm writing this the day after I can say that it's thankfully gone.

I’m not very sure on what’s going on story-wise. We’re going to different planets but no idea why.
