AL releases Koike’s Lupin OVAs challenge (impossible)

For what it’s worth, I always check your blog before making a blind buy, the logic being that if I’m taking a risk on a series, might as well be happy with the packaging etc. So thank you for your service and such 🫡 Sounds bad, but you seem to be entirely aware and already looking for a...

Yeah, I remember you being quite happy with it and it helped because normally with Souls games not made by From, there’a always one or multiple “but(s)” and about the only major thing I’ve read that I could see being annoying is a lot of bosses having Guardian Ape syndrome, but everything else...

Good self-suggestions actually, lol. I really want to play those two, eventually. Yakuza can be too random for sure but I love the melodrama and kicking thugs in the head. Yes to all of those on your list… the beginning of the year is so loaded that I keep forgetting Rise of the Ronin, even if...

@Lordhippos I don’t know about JRPGs, but Disco Elysium and Alpha Protocol totally fit the bill. Alpha Protocol blew my mind back when I played it, truly. You can buy it for like a quid on steam sales. It wasn’t as buggy as its reputation led me to believe neither! Super spy RPGs is totally...

Oh, without having played the original, that’s a great question… If you know nothing about the original’s story, I’d say no, because there’s a really big story element revealed later on in the trilogy (maybe in Rebirth) that is presented normally in that game… On the other hand, if Rebirth...

Finished Black Lagoon, The Second Barrage and Roberta’s Blood Trail. Gave all of them a 7 on MAL, with the latter being a pretty strong 7. Still, as far as I’m concerned, this anime lives and dies on the strength of its small arcs, and all the better ones came near the end. I enjoyed the Tokyo...

@Lordhippos Tifa is indeed the best, culture and all that… I love VII R but I agree with your points. I think the thing that took me the longest to accept was that it didn’t deliver on the eeriness of the original in Shinra HQ. Maybe it’s another case of mismanaged expectations, which I can’t...

Happy to hear about LiS, thanks! Out of the Marvel games I’ve played in the last few years, I think the most disappointing one was The Avengers. I share in the the common sentiment of “it should have just been a regular action-adventure game”. I think that game had really cool setpieces but...

So, I finished a bunch of stuff over the holidays. Somerville - enjoyed it enough, but: movement is way too sluggish; I know the main influence was war of the worlds but the aliens needed to be more intimidating; the few chase scenes in the game have no sense of urgency; the story could’ve...

Understandable, it was a while before I got into the OP, even if the ED immediately worked for me. I skip most OPs and EDs after the first, unless I really enjoy them, in which case, they become part of the experience (Casshern Sins OP, Star Driver OP, DRRR!! OP, Megalobox and Nomad OPs, etc)...

Berserk’s ED is incredible, but after the ending, it hits like a hammer to your soul One of the all-time greats and the only adaptation to capture the sheer horror of Berserk’s world.

Look Ma, I’m back to watching anime !!! I’ve been watching a bunch of stuff lately. I went through 3 seasons of Haikyuu !! a while ago (shoutout to Production IG for turning a single match into 10 episodes and not only avoiding it feeling absurd but also crafting such a compelling series)...

2023 was a great year for games but 2024 is lining up to be very special, too and that’s just going off your list! I’m getting a lot of what you’re getting and I’m excited for Refantazio and what it’ll bring to the table. I’m also curious about Suicide Squad. Rocksteady have learned a lot with...

That is a sh.t ton of Patlabor, excited to watch 2. Started watching Great Pretender this week and it’s been fun, CE looks meaty too! Also the return of digipaks, bless

kinda bums me ill miss out on those legendary fights that make the rounds on twitter and YouTube but I guess I’ll finally be able to watch one piece now. Should be cool

You guys are reminding me I need to play Xeno 3’s DLC…

Hey, didn’t know Nintendo also did the thing™️! I forgot about Paranormasight and even after Dai referenced it, doh! I’m really old, Jesus H. Yeah, Paranormasight should be in my top somewhere, it was really fun.

OlliOlli World has been in my sights for a while, each time I see the complete edition on sale I hesitate… but it’s a matter of time until I get it, it looks really good !

Sorry for doing that annoying Spotify thing with games. I actually lied the other day saying RE4 was my GOTY but only because I’m old and my memory is bad. My actual GOTY was Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. Just astounding. Excellent mission design, narrative, characters and dialogue, music...
