The best game of the original trilogy. I love the first half of this game, it is a very fluid experience up to the fight with Ornstein and Smough, and is incredibly rewarding. Despite the second half of the game being a way more open experience, I think it suffers from serious design flaws and terrible gimmicks. The DLC area is incredible though, and I loved most of the fights in the game. The Four Kings however can kiss my ass, I hate them so god damned much. Also I somehow beat Manus on my first try without a summon... I have no idea how the hell I did that. Also Black Knight Halberd for the win, I don't care if that makes me a goober, that weapon is boss.

... Then it'd be as near perfect as this game is. I adore the combat in Royal, it is such a great upgrade to the original, which itself was great gameplay wise. I loved collecting almost all of the Personas and the third semester is a great addition to the game and its themes. Once I get to New Game Plus, I think I'm going to 100% this game.

Great game, just needed a little fine tuning and...

Don't play with Jon.

I love this game's aesthetic and the fact that it reminds me a lot of Mega Man X, but I don't jive with the flying levels very much. I'll have to finish it someday when I get the time.

I like the story, and I get they wanted to tie the gameplay into it but it's just repetitive and annoying. I know playing it in a marathon like way is bad, but that's just how I play games and it just doesn't jive with me. This game is not perfect, but it also isn't the worst thing ever made.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING HATE THIS PIECE OF SHIT GAME IT JUST SUCKS IN ALMOST EVERY FUCKING WAY. THE GAMEPLAY: SHIT, THE PLOT: SHIT, THE SPECIAL STAGES: MAKE ME CONTEMPLATE SELF HARM. THIS GAME IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE, AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT FOUR TIMES TO GET THE TRUE ENDING WHAT A LOAD OF HORSE SHIT. At least the soundtrack is boss.
The fact that I can't rate this game a zero is upsetting. This is the third worst Pokemon game I have ever played. I'm often told that Pokemon isn't an RPG, and I'm sorry little Timmy, but you're a god damned idiot. This game is an RPG, and is by far the dumbest Pokemon plot ever conceived, which is saying a lot when you consider this franchise is developed both by and for literal fetuses, like myself. The fact that it feels like I am a side character in a plot about a Sasuke rip-off voiced by Goku trying to find his sister's stolen cat from a fascist para-military organization is absolutely ridiculous. Why am I even going to the gyms, what's the point, it's Hugh that takes center stage at every god damned opportunity and that's just really fucking obnoxious. I hate him, I hate his character, and I hate this plot. The gameplay is nothing new, it's fucking Pokemon, I don't get how the gameplay of this game is any better than BW1 which was pretty much the exact same in regards to combat. It's Pokemon, it's just unfortunate that I have an unhealthy obsession with this one's nonsensical plot, otherwise it'd be the most forgettable Pokemon game I've ever played.
Quite possibly the most quintessential Western RPG of the 2010's (I don't care for Skyrim personally), Fallout New Vegas is an experience I come back to almost every year due to depth of its world and characters. Without spoiling anything, there's a lot more to this game than what the gameplay lets on, and compared to its modern brothers, Fallout's 3 and 4. No, I'm not mentioning the Antichrist right now. It is far more complex and morally grey. Your choices actually matter in New Vegas, and the consequences of those choices provide for an interesting narrative. Sure, the gameplay may not be perfect, but New Vegas is beyond that. This is a true Obsidian game, made by people who truly understand what the Fallout world is about. Not some two-bit monkeys trying to paint everything as black and white. New Vegas is a phenomenal game, and that is something that never changes.
