    What games are you looking forward to in 2024?

    It's definitely coming I think it's a lot more than a rumour at this point, so yes you'd do well to await it at this point. Haha so true! If you've played Persona 4/5 before, I think I'd de-emphasise those on your list. Persona 5 Royal adds some nice touches but it also extends the game a...

    What games are you looking forward to in 2024?

    Pt 2. due to max youtube videos per post: Metaphor: ReFantazio Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Frostpunk 2 I absolutely loved Frostpunk 1 Visions of Mana world looks great, but maybe looks a bit too happy compared to my usual dark story based games). Unsure if previous knowledge of the...

    What games are you looking forward to in 2024?

    I want to revive this post because I think a bit of forward looking on releases can be a good thing, and people may flag other things I haven't seen yet! We've had a great year so far, for me the following titles have all been good/worth playing: Persona 3 Reload Granblue Fantasy: Relink...

    Completed Stellar Blade, I liked this game a lot, the OST and action were great. I'd highly recommend it, and there is a demo if anyone is on the fence. PS5 only. If I had any complaints it's that the story had quite a few holes in it, and subsequently this holds it back a bit, but for a first...

    100% this, it's a shame as I thought it looked interesting, it had other issue (to me) outside of the localisation quality, but it was the icing on the cake. Still looking forward to my next decent JRPG experience!

    Luckily it's not that long so you can sort of power through it, I was just playing on normal. I didn't really bother with finding all of the verses or side bits though. Watch this when you're done, I found it pretty hilarious after just experiencing exactly what they were talking about! Spoiler...

    There is a twitter thread here showing what I mean about the localisation of Eiyuden Chronicles: Whilst I understand that localisation does need to change things as a direct/literal translation may not carry across well, they've completely changed the meaning of some of those lines vs their...

    Tried out Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes on Game Pass as it came out today, and my verdict is: meh. I'm more disappointed in this than I am with Bayonetta 3, and I was pretty disappointed with that as you could probably tell from my post above. Boring world to explore with nothing in it...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Ahead of Stellar Blade release, I've played/completed all 3 Bayonetta games. Bayonetta 1 I've had this on the PC since I bought it for about £10 back in 2017. I only got around to playing it this year! A fun action game with good combat, a lot of fan-service, sass, and an incomprehensible...

    Felt the same by the way, I didn't find this episode funny at all. I wonder if my tastes have changed as well though, it's been a while since the previous 2 seasons were made. I'll give episode 2 a watch but am not holding my breath!

    I can't really confirm who it is without spoiling you if you ever watch it here, or I'd reply with more detail here! I shall remain quiet on this one for your benefit and others who may be reading and haven't seen it yet! I'm a big fan of rain, and this is basically "rain, the anime". If...

    I always look forward to your appraisal (reference intended) of all of the seasonal anime @Rui :) I myself have a list to check out, but I may summarise a bit after I've had a chance to watch first couple of episodes of each thing I had in my list. I usually skip stuff if I'm fairly sure I'm...

    Didn't realise episode 2 was out. Episode 1 was really good though, no one else really captures life the same way that KyoAni does, amazing production quality throughout and the little character moments they have are just icing on the cake.

    I won't spoil this for anyone (unless you want to click the spoiler tag below for who my fav was), but I was firstly saddened that my pick didn't win, but further insulted that my least fav girl won!
