Jeff Zero 12/29/17 1:46:05 AM #92 | Aqua and I continue to be on almost the exact same wavelength, lol. I like the movie a lot from Jedha onward. Especially once Act 2 kicks up. I see it said often on the net that the film is "saved" by Act 3, but nah, it doesn't need saving. It's good almost the whole way through. I still prefer TFA, though. --- |

Even if I end up hating XB2, I'll have to commend Takahashi on one key thing: he's finally gone back and made a very cutscene-heavy game... ...and finished it --- |

Jeff Zero 12/28/17 8:34:35 PM #229 | And I cannot deny (nor should I!) that the decreased characterizarions of B'Elanna and Tuvok in later seasons of Star Trek: Voyager isn't detrimental to the show, even as standout characters like Seven and The Doctor are given meteoric rises in screentime and narrative relevance. I don't pretend the sidelining isn't real, I just try to make the most of the net positives which still push seasons 4-7 over 1-3! --- |

Topic | What are your thoughts on Final Fantasy VIII? |
Jeff Zero 12/28/17 8:24:31 PM #121 | Personally, Cloud of Darkness is easier than Zeromus and Exdeath, and maybe even Ultimecia for folks who aren't terribly committed to learning FF8's nuances (as was recently the case with a friend of mine). But the fear of having to restart FF3's entire final dungeon adds a certain psychological pressure to the proceedings that cannot be replicated elsewhere in the series. At 19 years old, I ordered a Quad Venti Caramel Macchiato and tackled the dungeon at the Starbucks I ordered it from. I'll never forget the mounting dread of highly caffeinated hopelessness. --- |

Jeff Zero 12/28/17 8:17:06 PM #2 | Okay here are the two games I played for the first time this year please enjoy Persona 5 - PS4 Good Mmm, you know this game oozes style and it drips like a French press, heh heh, no but I love love love love love the style, I'm not too hot on fashionistas but I am hot on Persona 5. I didn't get far though but there was a once and future waifu in my sights and I didn't hate the battle system either -- what more can I ask for from my King of Queens? 4.5/5 Horizon Zero Dawn Goodishly Flawed Uhh, yeah, I like the protagonist and the world and the scenery is very nice (although I don't think this engine is as pretty as, say, Fox or Frostbite or Luminous, oh well) and the combat was fun for a while. But eventually it was no longer fun and you know collecting herbs and doing samey sidequests starts to lose its appeal for me rapidly if I don't have, like, a BioWare gallery of plucky companions to banter away in the overworld, WHICH I DIDN'T. 3.5/5 --- |

Jeff Zero 12/28/17 8:09:53 PM #224 | I typically see ANH somewhere in the top three on most every list I see on the net so it's interesting to see a few folks have it so close to the bottom. My friend Kiria has it like second to last too but she's crazy about aardvarks and Monster Rancher and likes mocchi a LOT so I never expected so many people suddenly agreeing with her ranking. Another interesting thing: I'm noticing that people who self-identity as NOT big Star Wars fans are responding really well to TLJ overall. It makes sense considering TLJ uproots certain expectations bigly. I am not really a hardcore fan myself (it's one of my favorite franchises but I don't dip my toes very far into the expanded media nor join dedicated sites/forums/programs etc like I do with, say, Star Trek) but I personally rank it somewhere closer to the middle. My reasoning has nothing to do with it uprooting expectations though; I just find it too uneven to hit the top spots. But anyway, there's obviously going to be exceptions like me to any rule, but a lot of the time I'm seeing militant fans call it trash and more easygoing casual semi-fans hailing it in their top 3 and I can generally see why. xp, between your comment about Xenoblade 2's graphics and the fact that the game features a gacha-based mechanic for its Blades, I honestly think you're right that it's designed portably first and foremost. I keep picturing millions of commuter Japanese people on trains tossing time into the Blades thing while looking over one-another's shoulders like "YOU HAVE KOS-MOS? YOU ARE SO LUCKY, STRANGER!" It all feels rather 2017 in gaming to me and not in a great way. (I know very little about the plot/characters though and I would like to keep it that way until I play it but hearing that it's a return to more regular narrative presentation and characterization a la XB1 makes me happy.) --- |

Jeff Zero 12/28/17 2:57:15 AM #151 | This episode ended with a really nifty, like, "airship theme" rendition of the OP playing while Goku and Chichi are aboard the Flying Nimbus together! kateee posted... it's been called the anti-SAO a few times from what i've seen. if the premise is the main draw for you it does better with that. the main thing LH has going for it is the world building. navigating the politics/economics of the world, interaction with NPCs, that sort of thing. the grand "adventure" isn't really the focus. I like a nice mix of adventure and worldbuilding. My own writing tries to balance the act. But they're both big deals for me! --- |
