stop everything

how is kiyotaka 3rd in the dr1 poll? how is that possible?

yaoi...? That's my only guess. Very strange.

Otherwise I feel like none of them are TOO far from what western polls would be like?

5-2 is longer than 5-3? Jeez, that's crazy. As expected of one of the worse cases in the game I guess.

SeabassDebeste posted...

5-6 being the longest case in aa5 seems surprising to me - it never felt long or draggy at any point imo

It definitely felt long to me, but not in a bad way.

Hmm, it was uncommon for me to have allies die. That part sounds weird.

I do find the bosses in general to be too long though. You should feel free to use a lot of items in the fights, including SP recovery items (buy as many of these as you can and use them).

AA6 only has one case that isn't too long IMO (and even that case would've benefited by ending a little sooner, but that was more of a story decision than a pacing decision I think).

And then oddly the DLC feels way too short. Big change from the AA5 DLC! Which I think was one of the longest cases in 5?

I definitely forsee myself not being able to wait week to week for Tokyo Revengers and busting out the manga.

How is this season even more stacked than the last one?? Them Covid delays all coming to a head are really gonna be setting standards too high.

Last season was mostly big sequels, so if you weren't into those, you probably weren't as into the season.

Her main flaw is that she doesn't get enough screentime so the more you play the more you should like her

Hmm, I feel like "Previously on" segments are fairly common in TV shows. I usually just skip them, so they're not a big deal to me.

The first season or two cut basically no content - they add more than they cut, really (mostly fleshing out scenes, like fight scenes).

It looks to me like she's the type of person who likes sitting like that.

Feel like another recent anime had a girl who sat like that too, but I can't remember which one...
---

I don't think it's an adaptation. It's a different story with a new cast.

Nobody likes the game, AFAIK.

God, Carls Jr sucks ass. I went there at 11 once and ordered breakfast, and they told me they stop serving at 11, and I looked at my phone and it was 11:02. Thats the only time anyone ever hassled me over breakfast time closing literal minutes before.

I went to BK for breakfast at 10:26 (breakfast is officially until 10:30) and they told me breakfast was already done. So pissed off that day.

Playstation's biggest strength as a brand was their variety, but now it's all gone. Everything is either a mature cinematic AAA awards-bait interactive movie, or a Dark Souls clone.

Sony's PS5 games so far:

Astro's Playroom - platformer
Demon's Souls - "Dark Souls clone"
Sackboy: A Big Adventure - platformer
Destruction All Stars - racing/battling
Miles Morales - Mature(?) cinematic AAA awards-bait interactive movie(?)

When were they making a bigger variety of games than they are now?

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

No, it's a monthly series. They got fairly close to the manga when S1 aired, I believe.

TLoU feels like its world still has room to tell some stories. I'd be actively upset if they made another Uncharted after how perfectly 4 ended, though.

This whole story is pretty disappointing just in terms of the level of corporate bullshit that went down - nothing new from current era Sony, of course.

They already made another Uncharted after 4 ended. Would you still be opposed to more Drake-free Uncharted?

So why was there such a large gap between S1 and S2?

Studio was working on other stuff and waiting for there to be enough manga content. I do think it should've been a year earlier, though.

I'm saying that was a misinterpretation by people from the start. All he's saying is that he wants to be loved too. He doesn't really want her to be alone forever or anything.

It'll probably be more emotional in the anime? The anime's improved a lot of scenes like that. Armin fighting the Colossal Titan is way more emotional in the anime, for example.

Has anyone else been reading the manga? Just curious as to whether or not I can discuss the final chapter (in spoiler tags, obvs) here.

I finished it, not sure if anyone else in this topic did.

There's another topic for it on b8 here, though not with a lot of people (this topic has spoilers): https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79395956

Historia's whole post-timeskip plotline is bad. Not really something to blame on the last chapter, but it was a big mistake.

Other than that, it was okayish. I don't think it was great, and it certainly could've been better. Reversing the Titan transformations was disappointing, but probably inevitable. And it didn't have much for hard-hitting emotional moments, unfortunately. Wouldn't say it's terrible, and it's a shame people misinterpret stuff so bad (all the jokes about incel Eren...).

I thought the final arc (the post-anime stuff) was mostly pretty great. The last chapter not so much, though.

I wasn't as into the final season (the anime season we just got) as the previous seasons. It had some top tier content, and I still gave it a 9 (vs 10s for the other seasons), but I didn't like a few of the decisions. The one thing about the post-timeskip arc that I'll say is bad that I think literally everyone agrees on: throwing Historia in the trash really sucked.

Oh yeah, it definitely has problems, and lots of people seem to hate it. Just saying not exactly for the reason you're saying. Or at least, that's my interpretation of people's complaints. I've seen more complaints about literally the opposite of what you said, haha characters getting comeuppance that the fans wanted to be right

It's honestly kind of incredible that KH1 is as good as it is considering it was Squeenix's first real crack at that sort of thing. There's still lots of jank/clunky stuff and KH2 totally blows it out of the water but I can't help but put respect on its name.

I mean, they're not the same, but Square had been making action RPGs for quite a few years before KH!

Honestly, the only real surprise there from a Japanese audience is that Sayaka is below Aoi and Sakura.

Like I said, those are western numbers, not Japanese.

The Good: I was not a fan of the Estelle and Joshua romance at the end of FC, but I have to admit it ended up working out pretty well. The beach scene and the last scene were two of my favorites in the game. As a result, I came away liking both of them quite a bit more. The cast is very solid overall and most of the characters improved from the first entry.

Oh hey I agree with 100% of this.

Aoi one of the least popular girls from the first game, Mikan way more popular than Mahiru and Sonia

Not really. I... don't know why, really! It's mostly Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas for reasons I don't really know because it's always been that way as long as I can remember and I never really asked. >_>

Same for me. I think it's pretty standard to focus on those three holidays. Hard to have family traveling from far away more than three times a year.

Actually this reminds me; do we have a precedent yet for an online download shop closing down not just purchases, but downloads of owned games? (Maybe the Wii?) I figure theyll do this eventually, but I dont know if the expectation is another year or another 10 years.

Im kinda hesitant to buy anything else if I dont have enough storage on my PS3 for everything and Im not planning on playing the games imminently.

DSi is the only one I can think of, and you can still buy those games on a 3DS, just not the original DSi. Wii is still downloadable if you own it.
