Wow such a massive open world RPG that took me a month to play! This is prime example of what JRPGs are becoming, ACTION RPGs. The open world, learning new lore with the party! And Cloud!… tripping his nuts off. The story of Remake and Rebirth are a wee bit different from the OG FF7, same overall key points of Nibelheim, and the unfortunate scene of Sephiroth d-air on Aerith. Same key points but the writers here expand on these themes of being more than an activist group wanting to save the planet, it became a story about philosophical understandings and who is Cloud really?
The first time I booted up the game, I got whooped every single fight. Idk why this game felt so different from Remake and thank goodness I played Intergrade, YUFFIE IS OP and practically carried the game. Along with, synergizing Quakaga with Aerith, instantly filling my limit and stagger. THE TEAM THAT CARRIED ME IS CLOUD, YUFFIE AND AERITH, and if I get whooped or I need more damage output, CLOUD YUFFIE AND BARRETT. idk why I could not understand Cait Sith, and Tifa too fragile. Red was good damage output but also same fate as Tifa, TOO FRAGILE, DIED A LOT IN THIS GAME. After chapter 9, leaving Cosmo Canyon, that’s where my booty was kicked around. I don’t know what they are putting into their beverages, BUT WHY IS THERE SO MANY OF THESE DANG MINIGAMES? I literally competed in like 50 chocobo races, and was confused the whole time about Queens Blood. And then I didn’t even complete the last side quest cause the G-Bike glitch. The minigames pissed me off so bad holy moly, I DONT REMEMBER THIS MANY IN THE OG. Even tho, I was petty cause I got whooped, this game was fantastic, the ending made cry and feel empty, I have no idea what’s gonna happen in the 3rd part.

AERITH LV 50 w/ auto cast/Curaga, synergy/Quakaga, and revival. (Weird they made Aerith like a Black Mage, I had every magic equipped because of the dmg output of her MAGIC ATK.)

BARRET LV 50 w/ autocast/Barrier, elemental/lightning and wind, and Provoke. (This guy saved my butt so many times, Lifesaver literally saved my butt. If I need more damage, this my guy)

I didn’t really use Tifa (even tho I got that date on the Gold Saucer hehe) Red or Cait cause they just get whooped.

Now I feel empty, burnt out, and sad, i guess I’ll just patiently wait for Part 3…

Im not really a fan of open world games because they tend to stuff them with collectible and too much area to explore. Basically, you this girl named TCHIA on an island close to Australia called NEW CALEDONIA, very beautiful place from what I’ve seen. You gotta save your father from these bad dudes made of fabric and a worm god. In the meantime, you explore and you can possess objects and animals and they can do cool things like a bird can FLY and POOP, I always had a bird stuffed in my backpack.
This definitely a zelda clone, even got a paraglide thing and climbing and animals and stuff. You can shoot your slingshot and stuff, you even hold items like in Wind Waker. The game is a cool indie project, cool mechanics but does not feel very fleshed out, I only used the possess thing to travel cause it took forever on foot, and most of the time I was running back and forth doing whatever.
It was an okay experience, I did appreciate the game once it introduced objectives like taking pictures of the factory and being inside the belly of the WORM GOD. Cool little niche game, and good experience, it was just the overall use of the mechanics in gameplay, got tedious and boring by chapter 7.

One thing i like was the music, THE VIBES ARE STRONG LIKE DISNEY STRONG.

Decided to play this after going thru a FPS binge, and I didn’t know what to expect aside from shooting elements like the Avatar from your hand. Made the quick decision to boot it up randomly and literally was thrown into a super duper fetch quest open world and shoot stuff thing.
I actually enjoyed the game, aside from the clunkiness of the controls which took me a minute, the game is short but it’s very enjoyable once you get past chapter 3. I almost played all the side quests which is rare, and I ended up playing this add-on side quest in a school and this anatomy body thing keeps following you and I almost pooped myself.
The combat is very simple, you shoot one the elements and then you got a super duper move and you gotta dodge and duck and stuff. Started becoming a crazy parkour guy on the roof once I unlocked the Tengu Spider-Man ability. The game isn’t groundbreaking but the atmosphere and Japanese lore really kept the game going and I would recommend a play through.

I played my first Borderlands game with B3 last year, and I thought wow a nice little shooter and stuff cool, and I played this game and I was like wow cool nice shooter game in a fantasy world. Game is literally a borderlands dlc.
This game played exactly like borderlands but you get spells and stuff or something. I chose the spell guy and I picked up a spell that did like 3 lasers and homes into enemies and practically carried me the whole game. Paired with a crossbow for stack damage and a second spell where you “fire and forget”.
The whole game was cool, you get a overworld thing and that’s cool. Idk I don’t got none else to say other than it was a cool little game. I understand it was made during the pandemic and it was cool so ima say it’s cool. The side missions were actually fun and gave us more areas and environments to run around and do cool things and stuff. Cool stuff.

My first Fire Emblem game that I actually gone through and finished, and I thought was a great game until the ending. The story dragged on for so long that I couldn’t start the DLC and Ima just move on. I really liked the gameplay with the Emblems and I thought it was a nice direction for gameplay to go towards in, but the story was so bad holy moly I just skipped the last few chapters and I didn’t care about the big dang dragon at the end.
The game was definitely a andrológico crossover from héroes of the old games called Emblems which gave unique abilities and gave ultimate firepower ultimates for each character. It really is just a complicated buff which you can level up and will be able to cross class for each unit. The gameplay is real nice and I just wish the story wasn’t so dumb.
My playthrough, I chose the guy Divine Dragon and I kept him as the a swordie, but the real MVP is Yunaka, our first thief who basically carried the whole game. I kept all the hard hitting units with me so I can just mow down everything. I liked the game but the story really just washed my brain with how anime tropey it was, OMG HES THE CHILD OF VILLAIN OMG OH NO WOW OH MY WOWOSERZ. I do like the game but mostly for the gameplay, the story was absolutely awful and I will not play the dlc. ANYWAYS, the loml deciddd to be Yunaka because she carried me the whole games I was starstruck between TIMERRA AND GOLDMARY but I was like I gotta give the Pact Ring to Yunaka, and the S support cutscene was so wholesome omg YUNAKA IS BABYGIRL.

This game ain’t bad, after playing TTYD and the original, I remember this game always got pooped on for being so different so I had to give it a chance. I did play this when I was younger but I never finished it and I can say it’s a unique game for the franchise.
First of all, gameplay got me jumping and bouncing and doing cool things with my fav BARRY. HE SAD ALL THE TIME AND HES OP. literally a spiky barrier whenever I want and then you get 4 CHARACTERS, Bowser op with his fire breathe and stuff sheeesh. The game isn’t as deep as the RPG Paper Mario but is unique enough to have variety. You gotta have the schmoovement.
The story was very simple and then the ending got me going wild, A BUTTERFLY AND A VILLIAN GETS MARRIED AND THEIR LOVE SAVES THE WORLD WTF. Also, the whole concept of post game over UNDERWHERE, this game is funny ong. I enjoyed the game for what it is, some chapters were dragging and the cryptic puzzles did get a lil too much for my brain.

The music is a banger and Piccolo raps when he speaks lmao

I bought this game cause I got confused on another game called “Hoa” and I was like wow this is the game so I played it back in the day. It’s a Zelda like where everything is cryptic and top down and you get lost and eventually you just dropped the game. I dropped it and moved on and recently wanted to finish what I started so I did. And oh my goodness…
The story of the game is about this robot thing and there’s purple goop and you gotta find these little wooden creatures and sing and stuff and they counter act this goop and you become friends with a robot and idk what is going on. I restarted this game and I was back at wondering what I’m supposed to do and eventually I realized it was the purple goop.
The gameplay is interesting, tries to be cool cause you got a sword and a fist and you running around and solving these puzzles, draining valves and punching things. I managed to finally figure out what to do but at the same time I felt like nothing happened. The ending, I accidentally chose going with the queen, I ain’t even know there was a choice. The ending boss was wack cause I was beefed up and had super duper upgrades so yeah.

I am a big can of JRPGs, so I do enjoy a game with great pixel art and fire tunes while fighting folks. After hearing all the hype towards this game, comparing to Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi and Chrono Trigger, I gave it a try since it got so much praise and after finishing the game once I was done.
Overall, I did enjoy the game, the fun combat involving different elements and locks for enemy’s moves can be broken, such a fun mechanic. The game was easy tho, everybody had a dang ultimate and combo moves too. Very ambitious of the developers for giving free reign.
One thing I did not enjoy about the game was the writing, there was plenty of times where every interaction was GARL and they did him dirty and I was done after the first final boss fight and ending. I don’t really care about the true ending since it’s locked behind 60 RAINBOW CONCHES WTF. But i do prefer the first ending because GARL made such an impact towards the whole premise of the game. They should’ve just made the game longer by adding the true ending quests, and made it a consolidated experience rather than 60 RAINBOW CONCHES WTF.

THE MUSIC DOES SLAP, THE ONE ON THE MOON SWEAR SOUNDS LIKE MEGA MAN.

I have played the original on SNES which actually became a best of both worlds for me. MARIO AND RPG??? Which eventually became my obsession for the Paper Mario games. And then eventually this was announced and I pooped my pants.
I finally gotten around playing this game, and what a faithful remake it was towards the original. Everything from the art style, gameplay, soundtrack, dialogue, and Easter eggs (??? a lil sus). Then the additional cutscenes they have added brings life into the characters introduced in the original.
The gameplay is mostly the same, i had the homies Mario Geno and Bowser being the powerhouses (SHOOTING STAR SHOT IS OP) and Mallow for sweeping and Peach for healing. The added 100% gauge attack made the game super duper easy and cheesey. I do not remember the original being like this, I was struggling. Anyways the two games are very similar and has the original style, and this could be a perfect beginner RPG to start off with.

After playing Nier Autómata a year ago, the game which jump started my hunger to play these games. I was interested in Nier Replicant but I didn’t know what it really was, didn’t know if it was a sequel prequel whateva and after letting Automata sink in which was such an amazing game, I’ve decided to play Nier Replicant.
Compared to Automata which was a grand old adventure about life and humanity and robots, this was a very secluded isolated story about the main guy and his sister who got the Black Scrawl which is some disease where you turn into calligraphy and yer done. Then, a great cast joins, you find out who Emil is, and this girl I think who is Kaine who is pretty intense.
The story is absolutely amazing, you vs the shades and at first I was like how does this connect to Automata until the last ending. I have got Ending A - E which was a big grind, most of the quests, 33+ weapons and completed the second half like 4 times and Kaine’s story made it worth it.
I did not deal with the fishing and gardening quest cause it was gonna take super super long, and it’s a very fetch quest type of side quest thing. Anyways, the ending for E gotta be a great resolution of a journey and Yoko Taro deserves the praise and skill for writing and directing such great games. I might have to boot up Drakengard 3 soon because this got me feeling some typa way.

A PARTY GREETING MADE ME TEAR UP.

After playing the disgusting game DMC2, played the GOAT of the series, DMC3. A prequel to DMC1? The one thing ima gonna first say is the COMBAT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The quality of life of actually being able to swing your weapon in whatever direction you pull the left stick in is top notch customer service. The different styles which is basically customization on what you want the button to be. SWORD MASTER WAS OP when I first started the game especially during the RUDRA AND AGNIS fight eventually I got my butt kicked by every boss in MISSION 18 so I had to start using ROYAL GUARD LV 2 which saved my butt by jumping and guarding. BEST WEAPON GOTTA BE THE GUITAR.

Vergil and Lady are great characters, especially the Vergil fights which took me a fat minute because of how much damage he was doing. I did not try playing Vergil, because i heard it’s the same campaign but he just op.

The last few missions took me the longest and the most tries and I was not titled towards really anything, this is the training arc for when I will eventually start the FROM SOFTWARE GAMES.

ROYAL GUARD LV2 SAVED MY LIFE.

I decided if I’m going to play the series, I gotta play everything. Keep in mind, every single human being said skip DMC2 but I couldn’t, gotta be a real one and play it. THIS GOTTA BE THE MOST POINTLESS ACTION GAME I PLAYED. I didn’t do anything, I was playing a third person shooter cause the guns and throwing knives are so op. I barely used combat because it ain’t hit stun none of these enemies. Most of the boss fights, I swear they didn’t play test them but I was standing still while this big zombie helicopter and ball chain dude was enjoying the view.

The improvements from the first one is the switching between projectiles and guns, it can make a huge diversity for comboing but there’s none, no new moves to buy or I didn’t understand the direction inputting or whatever they say the combo system is.

Also, Lucia is a great character, I wish they would reboot her in modern DMC, because she has a amazing design for her DT and she all ninja like with the throwing knives. Sheesh, they gotta bring her back.

The story was non existent I think they said like 2 words and that’s it. I think I was texting the whole time while playing this game. But on the real note, the battle themes go dummy.

YES I GOT THE DIESEL COSTUMES.

After playing the whole Bayonetta series, I never got the references like Team Little Angels and that big fiery spider. NOW I GET IT. This is the birth of the ACTION GENRE, the hacky slashy, button mashy goodness.

At first starting out, I heard the game was super duper difficult, comparing it to Dark Souls, I was like whoa and I’m aware how difficult the retro CAPCOM games. First few missions, I had to get used to the fixed camera and the platforming, but towards half way, things got easier once I acquired on my best friends, the shotgun.

I was like BOOM BOOM BAM, and then I met the one and only, Grenadier. THAT THINGS OP, grenade rolling is pretty busted, but that was all I did. The bosses were pretty terrible like Nelo and the Blob thing, holy moly they got me twisted.

But after a while, my combo was grenade, jump for i-frames, slash down, 3 combo, lunge, grenade, rinse and repeat, got like 3 stylish points for those.

The combat wasn’t too bad, the story with Trish throwing a bike and was like “I ain’t coming after you” bruh what. The similarities with RE4 and DMC1 is very obvious, like escaping the island, blew my noggin too. Great action game no cap.
