Part 04. You know the rules - still using the "best/worst/comments" format:
Best Part: The "Missile Command" boss fight
Worst Part: The plot? The compression in the FMVs
Comments: It's a shame that all these "gimmick shooters" have such generic stories. There are some cool ideas in this game though. Could've used more than 3 powers
Best Part: Gaia Breaker. CUT THE MOON IN HALF
Worst Part: All the stuff I missed, lol
Comments: Meruru Plus: Arland is Over. Turns out that I missed heaps of stuff trying to game it the same way you need to in Totori (keeping friendship at 60) and there's even stuff you need to be in NG+ to do! I sense another playthrough sometime in the future.
Best Part: Auto-track mini-gun. TWIN LASER
Worst Part: Not having a decent weapon in Part 3 orz
Comments: I used to play the shareware version of this all the time when I was younger, saw the game on sale and had to buy it.
Best Part: The Wind Bracelet
Worst Part: Some of the boss fights are BULLSHIT
Comments: Ys games are good games, what can I say. The game does a good job of getting better as you play it (wind bracelet, double jump, etc) and has the Ys staple(?) of having all your inventory slots filled out at endgame, which is always great.
Best Part: The new vertical-ity/mobility shit
Worst Part: How slow you walk through the towns
Comments: Great game, but killed my hands for over a week after 120 hours (thanks 3DS XL for being the least ergonomic device I've ever had to use in my entire life)
Best Part:
Worst Part:
Comments: was the story to this just Ed Boon's submission to fanfiction.net
Best Part: Ablution + Unified Destroyer
Worst Part: Solo missions. F* that BS
Comments: Toukiden's pretty fun. Story gets hella anime near the end which I can appreciate
Hexcells is cool
Plus is less cool
Infinite is more cool than Plus, fixes some of the issues I had
Grinded the 60 puzzle achievement in one sitting, now everything is hexagons
Best Part: Minakata (1st battle theme), Kanon
Worst Part: Those fucking car enemies goddamn
Comments: Pretty good game. Has a pretty weak start though, I couldn't help but compare it to Qoga (as in, Qoga was better) for a good long while, but it really picks up around the beginning of Phase 2 and sorta becomes a Star Ocean replacement during Phase 3. Oh, and don't talk to me about how long the final bosses take on Veteran - just don't.
Easy to Platinum, too. Surprising.
Best Part: Zhang Jiao saving the day
Worst Part: Ambition Mode
Comments: Like 7, but with more stuff. Ambition Mode sucks ass though compared to the thing they had in 7, I give it a 2/10.
Best Part: The "final interlude"
Worst Part: Hanafuda
Comments: Still can't decide whether I liked this more than Kagetsu Tohya or not. Also, FUCK HANAFUDA
Best Part: The rescue box in co-op
Worst Part: QTEs during cutscenes?? In a Metal Gear game???
Comments: A cool game that grew on me. Definitely a PSP game though (I played HD Edition), pretty much every design issue I had was explained by that.
Best Part: ZOMBIE LASAH
Worst Part: The aztec boss
Comments: This is the Metal Slug game I remember. I suck at it though; it took 39 continues for me to beat the game lmao
Best Part: Only needing half the continues than I did in 3
Worst Part: Those little UFO dudes
Comments: Really shoulda played this <remake of 2> before 3, huh
Best Part: Multi Rounds, Bosses
Worst Part: Speed Rounds, later Light Sword / Nunchaku Rounds
Comments: Pretty cool gimmick, but level mode drags on for wayyy too long (even just doing the minimum amount of levels needed to beat the mode). Also, fuck the last Light Sword round; that shit almost requires inhuman reflexes.
Best Part: Finally platinuming the game
Worst Part: NG+ Four Kings, fuck those guys
Comments: I've technically beaten this game before, but that was a hotseat couch co-op playthrough and not on my account. Shoutouts to shields
Best Part: Playing co-op
Worst Part: Endgame races
Comments: ???
That obstacle course during the last boss level was stupid. Falling off a building because of RNG physics during the last race was stupid. Everything in this game is kinda stupid, which is fine because it's Twisted Metal
Best Part: Chinese Stealth Armor
Worst Part: Chinese Stealth Armor
Comments: Chinese Stealth Armor is broken as shit. Had to stop playing a bit after beating the regular story because I was playing the PS3 version and like all Bethesda games, once you reach a save file amount of ?.??MB the game runs like molasses on fire and crashes more often than a character with a melee weapon in Twisted Metal
Best Part: Record Synergy (for characters you have/like)
Worst Part: Record Synergy (for ones you don't), ATB
Comments: I'm counting this (neverending mobage vortex) as beaten since I've reached the point where I've made enough classic dungeon progress that I have to wait for more to be released every 2 weeks + new events every week or so.
Best Part: The smaller missions (without tanks)
Worst Part: Non-camp infinite random enemy respawns, the Shamrock
Comments: This game's alright. I had a lot of complaints about certain mechanics, and the story got a bit too anime at points, but nothing was horrible enough to make me quit the game (except for the multiple times where I stopped playing the game for no real reason)
