Shadow

I really loved the combat in the game and being able to customize my stuff in a way that got closer to Earth Defense Force than any other game I've ever played.

This website aside, most of gaming stuff has some sort of aversion to giving anything less than a 7 unless they think it's shit. So any game with a metacritic score under 70 is typically a pretty bad game

Well on the Ishimura, you can just shoot whatever is causing you problems until it stops moving. On the event horizon, you have to try not to go insane while some sort of etherial space-Satan tries to drive you there and will just outright kill you if that doesn't work for long enough

I loved it. Especially when I made a weapon loadout that let me fire the most powerful gun in the game forever, as fast as I could switch weapons

I'm playing through 12 right now. It's a good JRPG. But I definitely think 15 is the better game. Not to mention far, far, far prettier

All. I really liked having 3 different characters last time and switching between them.

I played and loved both. But definitely Horizon more. Better story (one of the best ever in fact), better controls, more interesting enemies, possibly the single most beautiful game I've ever played. It might be because I was playing on very hard the whole time, but I felt a real sense of accomplishment whenever I figured out how to beat a massive group of machines, one of which could wreck my shop if I'm not careful. The closest I got to that in Zelda was the centaur dudes, but even that was basically just base level Dark Souls strategy of dodging right before an attack, and then exploiting the shit out of the opening that gives me.

With Neir on the list, Persona isn't even my top RPG this year, let alone ever. They're both still too fresh I think and people are putting stuff from this year above games that a few years from now, they'll remember as much lower on their own personal top-whatever lists

no, thankfully

and no

I've also never called anyone those things

as I'm 30 now and don't work for someone who insists on that sort of thing, I don't see myself starting anytime soon

The first Kingdom Hearts game is mostly all about Disney stuff, except for the last 5% of the story and some extra bosses (I probably spent about 50% of my playtime just fighting Sepheroth)

The second game though, is different. It has its own original thing going on and honestly, the Disney parts of it seem more like etc sidequests to what's really going on in the plot.

After that, all the non-numbered games focus very little on anything relating to Disney.

It gets way more credit than it deserves for the quality of game that it is, but it's a solid JRPG as those things go.
