Bio
Tracking and rating my backlog & new games as I play them. Games in my backlog list are games I own that I either haven't played or wish to replay soon(ish). I try to finish games that I start, but if a game truly sucks or a big new release I'm excited about comes out, a game might get sidelined.
1 Star: Exceptionally bad, usuallly abandoned games
1.5 Stars: Pretty bad, minor redeeming qualities.
2 Stars: Bad with some positives, mostly negatives.
2.5 Stars: Okayish games with a pretty even split of good and bad qualities
3 stars: Solid games, more right than wrong but not great.
3.5 Stars: Good game. Has its share of faults but a fun, enjoyable experience
4 Stars: Very good. Maybe a few issues here and there that hold it back from being legendary.
4.5 Stars: Excellent. Slight issues or personal preferences might hold it back from a 5, but still incredible games.
5 Stars: Best of the best. Absolutely peak gaming, any faults are far and away outweighed by the strengths.

People can laugh if they want but the game is actually good now. I enjoy the gameplay loop of 4 and now with NPCs and plenty of quests the game is basically fallout 4 with some live service multiplayer on top, which i think mostly works, other than the really awful fallout 1st and purchasable items such as repair kits, scrap kits and locking certain storage behind paywalls. The base story of 76, while a bit samey at times, is actually pretty good and has some pretty well written characters that would be even better if they were, y'know, actually characters and not just logs. The wastelanders update added a different main quest which im most of the way through, and outside of some grind its definitely improved. I'm excited to get into more of the content. If you like the gameplay loop of fallout 4 and you can tolerate some of the online aspects, its worth playing.
Persona 3 is a wonderful RPG with a mostly great story and characters, fun combat and style like no other. I played the original game for about 20 hours back in the day before my brother sold his copy, and I loved the social building aspects of it. I pretty much never actually finish persona games as I tend to get distracted by other things eventually or put off by the pacing but I did still enjoy this a great deal in the 50 hours i've put into it so far. Maybe i'll actually come back and finish it one day unlike every other time i play a persona game. I will say, I like it more than i liked 5. If your anything like me and get put off by the pacing of extremely bloated JRPGs you probably wont finish it, but that doesn't mean the game sucks, its still well worth your time.
