i know the niggas that vote for game awards nominees don't play video games because if they did this would be in the nominee for best soundtrack easily. There's so much combined effort and talent into making this an authentic spiritual successor but also not doin too much of the Old or sticking within the mold of JSR/JSRF to the point where it feels like its seekin to repeat the same 1:1 beats

I think all the locals you go to kick ass and i really like a lot of the playable characters you got going on here, i cant really think of anyone in the cast i dont care for :) i GUESS if i had to pick one i guess id say Coil would be my least fave but I was already sinking a lot of time into Mataan arc of the game and I think thats less on him and more like I was just eager to play more of the story campaign and didnt do much in the way of dicking around with him
THE MIDDLE POINT PSYCHE SHIT THAT GOES DOWN IS FUCKING AWESOME TOO LIKE YOU DONTEVEN HAVE A TIME REQUIREMENT OR ANYTHING BUT LIKE the way those levels flow is so nice I would be tryin to hold a really huge combo in those regardless.
Having alternate gear to use kicks ass too but im ngl, i actually never was able to tell if one had advantages over the other
And im kinda glad about that because i could just pick whatever i thought looked cooler lololol
i think skateboards rock but i was really leanin towards the bike i love beating some ass with a bike its so sick

I think my biggest gripes are just how there's no retry button, the combat can be KINDAAAAAAAA JAAAAAAANK, and all in all i guess if we're splittin hairs
the game is very easy
Like this is a splitting hairs thing to me because its like.. "yeah, youre getting good combos consistently and you understood and utilized the land to your advantage and made it yours yeah!" like i DO think the more abstract levels and the challenge hidden areas REALLY show what this dev team's made of while also understanding THE CONCEPTOFLOVEHAUHUGHVRWUGH mm. the assignment

was also really not expecting this to have a story like that
its both KINDA SERIOUS but also CHILL because like
there's some blood here and there and niggas DYINGGG but like
sometimes a character gets some shit happenin to them its like 'what does death mean in this universe'
even in gameplay when you die you dont really lose much of anything so it gets to where youre thinkin less on that and pickin yourself up and getting back at it
This game has a really good message about not lettin how you were born define you or how skilled you are at somethin defining you either, or even your age
Sayin that its what you make of the shit youre given is one of the realest things ever
im so thankfjul i got to play this this year since i was broke and my girl marlowe got me it as a surprise bday gift :) she rules for that and i hope shes well even if she's not readin this

The biggest itching feeling I felt when I finished was that I didn't want it to end though and thts a magical bittersweetness to feel with this, it almost doesnt even feel real that this is even OUT
i followed along the development with a loose eye for what feels like 5 years now at this point and you mean to tell me it came out, its good, and also got more than JUST naganuma in on the ost (very important)
ANDDDDDDDDDD made enough waves for SEGA to catch wind
i guess we'll see if jet set radio 3 is gonna stack well as this.. but even IF sega manages to do another good jsr I think itll never outright null what this game Is and Accomplishes
its a love letter, its an homage but its also doin its own thing
its not getting high off its own supply its jettisoning its shit to an entirely diferent ayer and layer going up and on.
i lve you brc
and 2 mello..
also where the fuck is the vinyl x rise tender yuri art
