Enjoyed the energy of this UPF. Fractals? Fuck ‘em.

@lentfilms: @thewildcard: Thanks for the advice. I'll probably end up starting with Trails in the Sky and see how I like it... whenever I feel like getting into another lengthy JRPG franchise. That mi...

Visual Novels and livestreams don't mix very well, so I guess I don't necessarily blame them for skipping out on 428 Shibuya Scramble 30 minutes in. If nothing else, it seems like the kind of game I'd...

@lentfilms said:@arbitrarywater: It is a big franchise to jump into but if you really value story, characters and world building in your RPGs than I'd recommend. The first two Cold Steel games are com...

I've always gotten the impression it's the quality of the writing and localization that draws people to Legend of Heroes in the first place. If you're bringing over a niche franchise with a fanbase wh...

I fully acknowledge that I'm a sucker for pre-ordering the deluxe edition, or really pre-ordering in general. I am absolutely the kind of nostalgic mark who willfully pays an extra $10 for an Elza Wal...

For as tired as I am of certain design trends in both the AAA and Indie spaces, there's a sheer variety and breadth of games these days that's hard to match. That's not to say that everything has gott...

Loading Video... I've always been an advocate of Temple of Elemental Evil on these forums, and that extends to the soundtrack. Atmospheric synth probably isn't the first thing you think of when you th...

@justin258 said:@zomgfruitbunnies: Boogiepop as in Boogiepop Phantom? Or something else?As far as I understand, Boogiepop and Others is a new adaptation of the original Boogiepop light novels, which B...

Even with how negative people seem to be on Artifact's pricing model, I still find the catastrophic drop in numbers surprising. It sounded like people were pretty positive on the card game itself, but...

As someone who's dabbled in competitive pokemon stuff before, I really enjoyed this. Even the parts where the chat was yelling at Jan. Would love to see more, even if it doesn't seem like LGP/E is th...

I think I might love how harsh and uncompromising this game's visual style is.

Solid anime blog duder. I'm trying to salvage a draft of my own anime blog right now, and shit can be time-consuming and hard.I liked Bunny Girl Senpai alright, but you're definitely spot-on about the...

The ending of Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of the few times I've ever been legitimately angry at a video game story. Even as a nominal fan of Kojima's bullshit, MGS 4 dialed up on the self-indulgent wank...

Hot damn, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you around these parts, Pixel. Quality list too. Monster Hunter World might be the only overlap between ours (I loved the heck out of Valkyria Chronicles 4,...

I tried playing Blood Money at one point and found it slightly impenetrable. While fundamentally very similar, the modern Hitman games give the player a lot more feedback and guidance.

After the last big Smash leak turned out to be an elaborate fake, I think I'm going to err on the side of cynicism on this one. I think a Dragon Quest character sounds entirely plausible (as does tha...
