- The potions event was so gay and fun I fucking love simulation events let this be endgame please
- The genshin lesbians are lesbianing
- Chiori's quest was like relatively chill and sweet I really liked it
- Big fan of the stills when we’re just standing talking for a bit,
especially since genshin’s animation outside of cutscenes is
quite limited
- The set dressing and platforming elements of chiori’s domain is so fun and cool
LYNETTE TALKING TO CATS!!!
LYNETTE’S LITTLE THUMBS UP OH MY GOD
Okay the mystery was cool but all those poor animals :(
The acting storyline was really sweet too.
I like that there was two main storylines (with two slightly different endings) and then just doing nothing haha
The fateometer was really good and added a dnd-style element i really liked

can't get over how the company/game treats women imo

Navia's SQ:
It was really cute and the depth of her parental relationships was refreshing and relatable, and it was nice to see archon quests actually affecting the game world. Bit of fanservice-y 'date' stuff with the whole 'partner' thing but it wasn't unbearable. The betrayal plot is a classic but they actually added some depth to the character and it allowed us to see how empathetic Navia is. I'm also enjoying the drawn stills with voice over instead of the black screen with text. The dialogue is also becoming really dynamic, I enjoyed moving on the boat while we talked and actually chasing the guy with Navia.
Beniot World Quests: Man fuck that guy, I let him get killed lmao.
Roses and Muskets Story:
Pros:
Again really succeeds with dynamic camera angles, the tea arriving and the crying animations. The Morris reveal was pretty obvious but I completely forgot about the sister so the Veronique reveal actually surprised me. I enjoy getting to play as other characters when Lumine isn't in the story. Amber Lee Connors stole the show as Furina, I love her so much. And of course that INSANE animated cutscene was gorgeous. Also, Ayaka waves when you see her in the open world?? So cute! (Please just have characters around in the open world when not in your party like Honkai).
Cons: Y'all can have characters run with us but you can't make an npc swim with us? Swimming with Chevreuse is silly because it can only be one of us on screen at a time lmao. I actually wanted to race her. I also wish event quests would be repayable. Even without rewards, especially if they seem to be continuing this trend of using event quests as 4 star story quests or other lore (e.g diona, kaveh, fischl, xinyan, razor, collei, the 'false sky', the origin of tcg, the oceanids, albedo/gold, traditions in the various nations, alice, guoba, enkanomiya) that all just vanish when the event is over, never to be seen by new players again.
Gameplay: Treasure Hunting event was very fun. The layout for the roses and muskets event was super cool and amazing - the 'arrival of an aquabus' skit (arrival of a steamtrain) was a cool reference. All the minigames were fun. The combat events this patch were difficult for f2p as usually, but even will well built characters I struggles to get the lowest rewards on a couple stages.

Fantastic Patch! Genuinely cried during the archon quest and Furina's story quest. Narzissen Kreuz storyline wrapped up wonderfully. The new areas & world quests are great - a bit long, as has been a problem now since Aranara but it was okay. Furina slays.

I was so excited for this for so long! On Switch the game seems blurry? The running style doesn't feel grounded and overall doesn't draw me in :(

Great premise, looks much better than SAS. Compared to Arceus, definitely a step down. They should have waited to add the new features and see the reception to them, for next year 2023. Battles are back to being slow, catching is more monotonous. You can't give us the amazing features of Arceus and expect us to be happy when the new MAINLINE game feels primitive compared to it.
The map is bugging me. Please for the love of god let me lock the mini map and it would have been SO EASY to let me mark points that aren't my immediate destination.
Performance is obvious. It's just so frustrating to see Game Freak fumble the bag over and over again. They have all the money required to make it run like BOTW. WHAT IS HAPPENING??? WHO IS LETTING THIS HAPPEN?? I haven't even really come across any game breaking bugs or anything but the technical choice to slow down frame-rate at a certain distance is SO OBVIOUS, and wall/rock textures stretching when I get close to them.
I do enjoy the pokemon interactions OUTSIDE of battle, like my legendary talking to the more friendly wild pokemon, and getting chased by an incredibly aggressive Flamigo. Inside of battle we are back to the same weird distance - at least we are fighting where we are and not in some void room.
Wish more shops were interactive and enter-able and not rabbitholes but with the way this game is running, I guess not.
I haven't finished the game so can't comment on story, but the aggressive 'DO WHATEVER YOU WANT' messaging is appreciated.

Pretty good FPS game. I enjoy the lore connected to the world and each character and wish there was more story-campaigns, (maybe in the style of the junkenstein's revenge co-op). There are some good qol improvements on the first game, such as being able to pin/point out enemies to your team such as snipers, or direct points etc. I like the new robot gamemode somewhat. I like the use of characters uncovered faces in the character selection menu. I like the stylised art in the gameplay stats menu that shows your hero stats.
I don't like having to unlock characters, I don't like having to grind so hard for some mediocre skin, and unless you pay there are barely any rewards (except for customising for characters i don't have because the unlock criteria is insane). i just want some random lootboxes sometimes instead of or in addition to the currency system :// I don't like stuff that I HAD BY PAYING in OW 1 (stories etc.) being gatekept.

This game's controls were ROUGH but oh my god such a wild game. Love it. I want more.

This game has made me a better person. Mainly by me learning how much of an ass I can be when I want to. Fucking wild game though
2013
I enjoy this so much. RIP my game card though, swallowed by some after-school care couch. Wish we could be gay.

Such a great game, this series has really been with me throughout my journey of anger managment skills - and I can play without yelling now! I just talk. A lot. kind of scarily.
2014
I had a time. If I ever was to play this game again I would pirate it because FUCK EA. Base game is empty and they are really pulling out expansions that were originally either lumped with the base game in sims 3, or multiple things in one pack (e.g vamps, wizards, plant people and werewolves in supernatural).
I just really need a quest driven game or something. I love watching people play, but I cannot once I get past CAS. I just can't make it fun for myself. Even doing fanmade challenges feels like a grind.

I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME! This is my first Luigi's Mansion game and I do want to go back to see what everyone is saying this should have been.
I do not know why I haven't finished it yet - there's just so much going on :((

I had a great time with it when I was younger, and the Welcome Amiibo update was a huge surprise update I don't think anyone expected or was asking for but It did pull me back in for a bit. I look back with fond memories. Ah.. what New Horizons could have been...
2018
It's cute and short
