@bigsocrates: broken sword and syberia are both on my list to play. I personally played the first two syberia games before this series was ever a thing, but haven't shown the games to my wife.. we have since moved on to anime detectives "master detectives: rain code" or whatever it is called. So far that is capturing our interest, but when that game ends we will maybe move on to syberia.

@zombiepie:Thanks for the heads up.. I'll try to remember and not add quotations to any more pictures. And yes, the ABC Murders is still the best one of these Poirot games.

@bigsocrates: Believe it or not, my wife also would score the Agatha Christie games as average or below average, but they can be enjoyable 6 out of 10s that would never be in consideration for Best game of all Time, but still 5 hours well spent. The problem is that each sequel has got progressively worse and it has probably ruined our taste for future Microids Poirot games.

I did play on PS4 and while perhaps the load times would be even better on PS5.. this shouldn't be a taxing game on a Ps3 and yet here we are.

When I spin "The Crew" on the wheel of games... I'll just tap you to rank it, because I have a sneaking suspicion I won't get to it this week.

@shindig: I think we can all agree Poirot is better as an old fat man... I think that goes without saying.

@chamurai: ABC murders is by far the best one and I don't see that changing soon.. It is a shame that even the inferior sequels have such a jump in quality between the two of them, because this game could be fine if it was just cleaned up technically (load times, dialogue not out of order, characters not disappearing from screen.)

As Always... thanks everyone for the read and comments.

@chamurai: thanks for the comment.. yeah I really like this game, way more than I was anticipating because I feel like the buzz wasn't there for it at the time.. I have the new one but haven't tried it yet, I have a feeling ill regret that purchase, because multiplayer focused games are real hit or miss with me.

@chamurai: depends on what you are looking for. It's mainly a setup for the combat, you aren't rolling dice or making real decisions like you would while playing actual D&D.. but you do take part in a campaign, help "write" some scenarios, and a lot of the plot revolves around the game and the creation of it...

But keep in mind that it's not real D&D, just a facsimile.

Thanks for the read and comment as always

@chamurai: thanks for the comment.. it is honestly one of the least "fun" games I've played.. and that's a strange thing to think when the game is trying its best to be funny at every turn.

@zombiepie: long ago, I played through all the final fantasies through X. I think 3 is my bottom of the barrel even below everyone's least favorite 2.

I remember that final trek being awful and overleveling and overbuying items in order to make it through. Granted this was before pixel remasters so I didn't have a lot of quality of life improvements either. Eventually I'll go back to these games to rank them on my big board, but I sure hope its awhile for 3.

@apewins: to be fair, I think I'm in the minority in my feelings about this game, so dont give out hope that this game is good. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood set, or my expectations were high, or I couldn't put myself in it's time period.

To your point I think the game starts fairly well.. the first level for all the characters are their best levels and would be the showcase levels.. by level 4 and beyond I think the same environment, no new enemy varieties, humor, and difficulty ramp start to wear thin fast. By the 3rd level for each character I was playing because of an obligation to finish, but all the fun was zapped out of me.

@bigsocrates: Thanks for the quick history lesson.. I mean I grew up around the same time as you, and I remember bad jumping in video games just as much.. but even removing the platforming and debatable humor, I just don't think running down corridors holding down the R button is actually fun. I just think of other games released around the same time that while not exactly the same are just far more interesting to play now. Syphon filter, original tomb raider, shadowman, and even Fur fighters I think all are going to end up higher on this list.

As for ni no Kuni, my biggest gripe was that I felt combat was just so bad for a game so beautiful to look at. There never seemed to be a reason to switch your characters out, because the strategy for all bosses was to be the main character and shoot fireballs until they died.

I accept that I could be way wrong on this game, some games just don't gel with certain people.. maybe I need to watch some twitch streamer play this game for the first time and see how they feel about it.

I mean even watching the quick demo movie on the game (leaving it on the menu for so long) doesn't even make this game look fun. It's just two snippets of someone trying to fight regular enemies and kinda getting wrecked.

@glots: thanks for the comment.. the music is good listening to it through those videos, but I can't say I really noticed the music while playing outside of the main theme.
