a nice collection. good to re-experience DDD even though it is far from my favorite in the series; great to have it brought forward and accessible to more players.
Loved 0.2, beautiful game; fully re-ignited my hype for KH3 again.
Back Cover -- actually came through positive for me. it looks great, adds some lore, and presents a very intriguing ending which also added steam to the KH3 hype train.
My long-drawn out series replay and KH3 preparation is finally complete. Kingdom Hearts III will be played in 2024!

I think I had more fun with this than Quake. Wasn’t expecting the presentation upgrade with the cutscenes and all that, pretty impressive.
*again, only played the original Quake II, none of the expansion/add-on content.

favorite of the trilogy I'd have to say, even tho the middle two cases didn't really do it for me; but then each of them had a case or two I didn't jive with. here, cases 1 and 4 are great, playing as Mia of course, and case 5 is greatness. Godot is a legend, even tho his pauses for sips of coffee nearly did me in. what a theme he has.
I'd seen the memes, now I've experienced the legend. fantastic trilogy and collection of games. much fun to be had, solid writing, and very impressively weaves things together through cases and games. each game has one or two cases I didn't really care for much for one reason or another, and man the dialogue and investigations can really get long. cannot lie, I skipped a lot of dialogue starting partway through the second game. but I grew to love many of these characters through my 60+ hours of playtime. Mia, Maya, Phoenix, Edgeworth, Franziska, Pearl, and Godot are legends. A lawyer only cries once it's all over.

Fun enough to play with a buddy, but mostly just for the playing a video game with a buddy. Lots of inventory management and weapons didn’t feel good or strong enough most of the time— having to constantly upkeep them was a pain. Missions drag on and the constant flow of puzzles and “find this to unlock that” got old fast. Also had to skip a lot of cutscenes because who cares.
sub 6-hour speedrun with 70% accuracy, and then a playthrough on crushing. got the platinum. This game earned that respect, unlike its predecessors.

Played Quake, killed some monsters and stuff.
the final boss kill is awesome, and earned this game several bonus points.
*Played just the original 4 Quake episodes, none of the expansion packs; don’t like the game quite that much/got my fill for now.

not bad. short, to the point, explains where Gladio went off to that one time. pretty good boss fight, good to spend time with Cor.

pretty good again, enjoyed playing as ignis. imagine if he fought like that throughout the main game.
liked seeing more of Ravus, he's just cool. a favourite character.
Extra verse was interesting as well.

[01.22]: somewhat inspired by the show to go back and try to beat it on survivor difficulty, and by the nine I survived. used the chapter select glitch to make it survivor+ so was fully upgraded; that and some excellent encounter guides made it more doable than I ever imagined.
so would now only need to grind through the multiplayer to get the platinum trophy. we'll see.
Also decided to go through Left Behind on survivor for good measure.
[02.01 update]: made the painstaking grind through the multiplayer to earn the last two irresponsible trophies for the Platinum.
[02.07 update]: beat grounded mode, have now got 100% trophies.

"for fans and first timers" - as a first timer (and a big fan of Kingdom Hearts), yes this was a very good choice for my first Final Fantasy game. Very good looking game and pretty world; how bout that ride in (to Altissia)? Love the boys, loved bonding with them on the journey. Enjoyed the story, quite the ending in my estimation. Liked the DLC episodes' supplementation. Have the Final Fantasy floodgates opened? not exactly at the moment, but I do want to play them all and am glad to finally gotten my first off the board.

This is like, a really good game. Only remember hearing bad things about it when it launched; how it was broken and glitchy, but also that it wasn't a very good game besides. but I had also heard it held in very high regard elsewhere. so had uncertain expectations. but its pretty awesome. smooth 60fps and nearly technically flawless on PS5 -- save for one area: was driving along and fell right through a bridge as if it didn't exist. tested it 4 times and the same thing happened. it was just kinda funny. when I got around to the area I needed just past that point, though, nothing really loaded in right. cars looked like blue, oblong blobs. very strange. but this didn't hinder anything game wise, so who cares. Game looks good, sounds good, runs good, feels good to play.
I really enjoyed the story as it moved along and got pretty invested in it and the characters. Deacon, Boozer, Sarah, Iron Mike, Rikki, et al. Good characters all around throughout the game and very well acted (though, unfortunately, Deacon does not scream "KENOBIIIIII").
great gameplay loop. enjoyed the open world, mission and progression systems. just really fun riding through the wasteland clearing side missions, especially as you continue upgrading Deacon, your weapons, and your bike.
I was not looking forward to hordes at all. running into them early game just bugged me out and I didn't know what to do and got so overwhelmed. and then to learn that those were actually the tiny ones, and I took out a hundreds strong one before even getting to the one you do for a story mission. obviously having the right weapons and upgrades help. you are faster than the horde, you just need enough stamina to stay faster than the horde. and you need the Chicago chopper. it is really a cool learning curve, that feels parallel to Deacon's own progression, getting used to the feeling of having a horde after you, and being calm enough to know what to do. Also just pretty technically impressive having that much going on.
And finally, yeah, I now understand the outrage over the supposed sequel getting canned. cause I was right there with Deek saying "what the fuck?" during that very final cutscene of the game with O'Brian. The story and lore were built so well and there is so much room for more, especially with that ending. Gotta have it, Sony.
