New Game! And a rare one too.

Actually had this game for a while, but was waiting for the case and manual to come in.

Completed the Prologue, and and in the thicket of Chapter 1.

It's a fun, if albeit simple, hack'n'slash game. I've got 3 out of the 48 body parts. Met the titular Dororo.

Omega has fully formed, and Vincent has fully transformed into Chaos. Shelke comes in with a neuro-network dive, finds the protomateria and fuses it with Vincent.

Many, many flashbacks through Dr. Lucrencia's eyes, and her formerly shattered consciousness reforms and confronts Vincent, snapping him out of his misery.

Goes controlled Devilman, and begins the fight.

After infuriating Omega's body, Vincent has a shoot out with the inner core, bringing out the now empty shell of a vessel, and shoots that too.

Omega tries to GTFO the planet, and the spirit of Chaos follows, destroying it for good, and saving the world.

Roll credits.

Finally decided to play something, and it was a game I had taken an interest in after years of hearing about it.

Played the first three chapters, actually quite enjoying it for what it is. Gunplay is surprisingly good and WAY more varied than I thought it would be (not at first, but as I started unlocking things, it became much more apparent).

HOWEVER... holy crap, was the button mapping absolutely awful at first. Re-mapped a bunch of things so it didn't feel like my fingers had schizophrenia. Controls MUCH better after that. Visited the Town of Kalm, the Wastelands, and the Town of Edge.

So, lengthy session, and finished it off.

Started the game going through unfinished Defense Missions. Did a few, but ended up running into a soft-lock situation, forcing me re-set and lose progress.

Decided to just do the FU fight. His invincible moments are a bit too long, but slowing his ass down opens up his vulnerable moments for so much longer. With practice, I could probably three phase him (on BITTER, at least). His second round wasn't too bad, but it does want you to remember perfect dodge, which can let you four phase him if you're paying attention. Dodging forward after the perfect dodge can let you close in quicker to not waste any time. Also, Death Shower for extra damage.

And with a little bit of extra after FU's fight, the game is over and the credits roll with a stinger hinting at a possible NMH4.

Will write a review soon.

Decided to just go for broke and enter the final battle.

God damn, is the new final boss a major step up, but also a much more complicated affair than last time.

And with that, Sonic Frontiers is done. I mean, I CAN do more, but I'll save that when I feel like revisiting the game.

Started playing the series today, beginning with this one. Quite an interesting experience, I must say. Gonna stick through to the end for sure, before I start tackling later entries.

Might take a while to get through, which is fine by me.

Did the intro and now have access to Scuttle Town (the hub) and dabbled with the available shops. Even managed to do some night dancing for a nice profit. Explored outside the town a bit, mostly into the forest full of spiders and strange flying gargoyles. Learning how to dash effectively.

Game complete! I finished the third run, and walked the True Path for the Golden Ending. What a ride this game was. Had to take a few lengthy breaks between weeks, even before starting up this account, but I knew I'd always come back to this. Hell, I might just go for an Xtra New Game run in the future on a harder difficulty... or maybe just the regular Hard setting that I had it on prior. I guess I'll see.

I will review this game sometime soon.

Continued the journey. Surprisingly had little resistance getting to the confrontation with Claudia. Accidentally got a Game Over forgetting about the fact Heather needed to take the red pill. What happened next was kinda gross, but killed the incomplete corpse god in the end. Got to see Douglas once more in a normal Amusement Park, and the two seemed to have reconciled. Extra New Game has been unlocked. Might go for another round one day. Gonna write a review sometime soon.

Game Complete... for now.

Continuing my Chronological Castlevania journey with Curse of Darkness. After having played Lament of Innocence a while back, I had an idea on how the gameplay would function, but I was in for a surprise. Everything felt WAY smoother, combat was much more responsive and less stiff, exploration made it feel more like a real 3D SotN, and the Innocent Devil system is just a neat little mechanic. Getting a lot of enjoyment out of it, and I've only felled two bosses so far. Also, It's really fun to learn of Hector and Isaac prior to the anime. Gotta say, while I love their portrayals in the show, they're delightfully fun to witness in the game.

Properly started my adventure in this game, finally.

Country Boy in a quiet life gets furried and bullied by short-stack imp girl.

I'm now back to Ordon Village as Cursewolf!Link, and realize it's no longer an ordinary life here. At least the animals don't wanna kill me.

Completed Final Chapter and Chapter ZERO. Attained the Hellish Abyss ending. The PS2 "Golden" ending. Yup, gonna write a review.

Also, new unlocks.

A while ago, I started a journey to play through each of the Castlevania's I have in my collection in Chronological Order. I started with Lament of Innocence, and now I've finally gotten around to playing Castlevania III. It's a bit harder than I realized, but not so much as I feared. Helps that Quick Save is a thing in this collection.

Anyway, found Sypha, and proceeding onward.

Started a brand new file. Had the strong desire to play after watching someone play Fear and Hunger. Had another file on the PS3, but it was severely gimped due to item wasting. Going to try to be more conservative with more skillful play. Found the Pillars and gained Magic Light. Off to find Nupraptor.

Caved. Did all of the BOUNS Stages in one go. Didn't take very long. Then, fought REZ. Beat the game 100%!

But... forgot to save before the REZ fight. So, all the bonus stage progress was reset. Might have to rectify it sometime down the line...

Started playing. Really interested in the mystery of the abandoned village. Controls feel tighter. Voice acting improved A LOT. Very invested in the twin girls' plight. Ghosts are reworked and feel less of a troll. Items can be stacked better. Early game is at least a much more solid experience. Kinda miss the 60fps the previous game had, but it's fine.

Decided to FINALLY start this game. Defeated Black Hole. Died once due to greed and not paying attention, but then absolutely rocked him in round 2.

Started playing the game. Great atmosphere, ghosts are effectively creepy, there's some accidental humor considering the very dark implications of what's going on. Made it to the second camera save point.
