LL is great, though it suffers a little for not feeling particularly original. Half the songs suffer from that to me though (Executioner is the only one in 5-8 that feels truly fresh), and I still like them all.

Danger had a pretty good run, better than I expected. Shame its final opponent was just too strong.

I voted against Pioneer's Horizon a couple times, but I never minded it winning. Good song.

Utawarerumono Mask of Deception:

Further in now. The war parts were alright, but man, this game is still awful at comedy. I wish they'd cut out all the eating and drinking scenes. Kuon has to be one of the worst characters of all time. Practically all her scenes are just her getting upset and hitting Haku or stealing his money or tormenting him for no reason. I'm up to the part where a bunch of characters from the original return now, though they aren't written as well as they were there. Seems like most of the writing staff on this didn't work on the original, which makes sense. Or maybe I just liked them better without voice acting, haha.

On a side note, it seems like Kuon is Hakuoro and Yuzuha's child, but most of the characters from the original seem like they're the same age they were in that. How much time is supposed to have passed since then?

I liked it the whole way through, but it's definitely a step down from the first one. I think everything about it is pretty good other than the writing, which is not good at all, but not offensively bad.

That's very reassuring, thanks. Things like this can definitely improve over time, and I don't find playing it to be as repellent as some games, so it's nice to hear that.

Incidentally, will I still be good to play these if I haven't played Uta 1 for over a decade? I still remember some things from it, but definitely not everything...

@xp1337 when does Utawarerumono Mask of Deception get good anyway? Or is this one bad the whole way through and it's just the first and third games that are good? Cause man, I'm four and a half hours in, and it sucks so far compared to the first game. The combat's solid (though it feels pretty shallow so far), but the story and characters are blah. The pace is incredibly slow, with very little happening. I liked the early parts with just Haku and Kuon, though even there there were some issues. Probably the biggest negative is that all the girls are huge assholes to Haku for no reason. They're constantly hitting and choking him and such, and it sucks. They even have jokes about the animals doing it for whatever reason. The humor's been uniformly awful. Haku's pretty lame too, constantly being surprised by things even when he just saw them happen a few minutes early (particularly Kuon's (and everyone else's) strength). The other characters (Ukon, Rulutieh, Nekone) haven't impressed either, and Maroro's bad enough that I tend to skip through all his dialogue when he's on screen. I wish the game would just stick to being serious - that'd mean less of the trash humor, though even in the more serious scenes, it could stand to pick up the pace.

Yeah, nominating Sheik is stupid. bananor gives a good reason why. Next you'll want us to nominate Mr. L and Dr. Mario. If you want a good joke character you could at least pick something that's actually funny, like Dr. Goomba Tower.

yeah, starting case 4 felt weird, not just because my mind was still dwelling on case 3, but also because it feels sort of like "i'm starting the fourth case but i feel like i've barely accomplished anything?"

That's what happens when they split the plot across two games, haha

I can't believe Capcom made the truly shocking choice to localize Cosney Megundal to a new name, surely the fan translators were right to leave that one untouched

I mean, Cosney Megundal is just Japanese for "I'll give you some spare change" so I feel like localizing it to something with an English meaning makes perfect sense.

Lawsuits like these can have good results for other people - a good example is the Epic vs. Apple lawsuit, which caused Apple to introduce the App Store Small Business Program, cutting App Store fees from 30% to 15% for small devs, helping the people who need it most and doing nothing for major corporations.

Also, any settlement or ScarJo victory will include Disney paying her legal fees.

I just find this harder to care about due to the amount of life-changing money that will change hands that ultimately won't mean much for either party by the end.

The end of the game would be so much less stressful if you did.



Which would dramatically hurt the game.

I got annoyed by the end parts and watched them on YT because of it. Would've definitely enjoyed it more with them having a lesser presence. I got by them on my first try for the earlier part without any problems, but then for the ending stuff I couldn't do it for some reason.

This was one of the biggest issues the original had imo. They basically made a team specifically for that game rather than giving it to one of their big, well-established teams like Santa Monica or Insomniac.

Confused what you're saying here - are you implying it wasn't a good game because they had a new team make it, and Santa Monica or Insomniac would've made a good game? I thought you were a fan of the original.

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

The company that made the original is dead, so it would have to be from a new team.

Season 9 was great - thought it was a good deal better than 8. S10 felt like a step down, and then S11 was the worst season I'd seen by far. Haven't watched any since then.

Kingdom Hearts 1.

There's a decent number where I'd say the final act is consistent in quality with the rest (Undertale, for example), but getting better as it goes is a bit tougher.

Ah, Valkyrie Profile Silmeria! That one hums along being very middle of the road until the twist, at which point it gets amazing.

Several Trails games- Sky SC, Azure, Cold Steel IV, etc.

Azure and Sky SC both have weak endings, though Sky SC certainly gets better as it goes until then.

Kazuma joins me as my assistant, and it's a weird dynamic of being a newb while your partner is so much better than you. it's something like Armando in 3-4 or Gavin in 4-1, and because of the latter, he's immediately sus.

Kinda funny you made those comparisons but not to Mia in 1-1.

Make sure you watch the cutscenes from the Switch version of TWEWY. Neo directly references them and they're a vital part of the plot.

Only downside is that I stream so much, I never get to enjoy them in 4K, but I appreciate that's very much a rod I've made for my own back.

Haha, considering how many of them have performance modes, you wouldn't get to enjoy most of them in 4K anyway (I guess some of the last gen games would be exceptions).

I really liked Demon's Souls Remake and... I guess everything else has been an expansion, the tech demo, or a PS4 game.

Is that a bad thing? I mean, when people get a new gaming PC they mostly use it to play better versions of games they could've played on their previous gaming PC.
