my love of tales might have me overrating it bc it's definitely the weakest of all the tales games i've played so far but it was still most certainly an enjoyable experience with fun and entertaining characters and had some very good story moments despite being an overall weaker story than the other tales games i've played. it also featured the worst combat system, like i'd rather button mash in berseria, but it was still better than a turn based game lol

(campaign only)
it had an entertaining story, the standard and fun cod campaign gameplay loop, and did some out of the ordinary things for a cod campaign that i found quite fun. all the endings kinda suck though

to put it as shortly as i can, persona 4 isn't the greatest video game, but its world, characters, story, interactions, etc. are absolutely wondrous.

one shot into heat on veteran is the most offensive thing i've ever had to experience in a video game

halo reach but bad
ethan is the only good character

so 343 CAN make good games, it just takes them 6 years!
if you're a big fan of the bungie halo games and felt very letdown by 4 and 5, there's a good chance you'll like this game. it feels way more "halo" than those two did despite innovating and changing it up the most

not sure if i'm just more resilient from all the other veteran cods i've played now or that this was a lot easier than the other mw games
still the best mw game

this game starts out very strong, and continues for awhile, falls off a bit in the last third or so, falls off even moreso near the end, but the very end saves it all and made me forget about it for a moment. one of the things i consistently didn't like about this game were the boss fights - they just wouldn't stagger ever, dealt like 1/3 of my hp every hit while i'm playing on normal, and maybe this is my fault but every time they would do one of their mystic artes i couldn't for the life of me figure out how to stop it despite the characters' dialog alluding to a way to stop it. i also didn't like the cp system, think it needs a rework, and the xp gain seemed very weird. i played on hard (minus boss fights) for like half the game and barely avoided encounters, even went out of my way for encounters a few areas, but nearing the end i seemed pretty far behind on levels. maybe i just avoided more encounters than i thought lol
alphen and shionne are fucking awesome though and i am very happy with my collector's edition purchase :)

i watched 2 people get murdered at ozzfest while my create-a-character played alongside ozzy osbourne and i was so good at guitar, jimi hendrix came back to life just to shred with me

also this game has l'via l'viaquez

the laid to rest cover makes me want to self harm

the song list is amazing, the engine is peak, and the story is beautifully stupid and charming

set my graphics on max and i still had tons of little graphical issues in the otherwise beautiful cutscenes, what an L
and my music never worked but that's not a big issue since cod scores are rather boring

also the multiplayer is complete dogshit but i'm rating it off of campaign only :)

i haven't played it or even the original re4, i just know

why do they got boxes on their heads. are they ugly
