And now we're back to handheld for some reason. Makes sense to push the 3ds since it wasn't selling too well but you can feel the quality drop from RTDL. It's fun but just kinda forgettable for me. But the final boss was pretty cool and collecting all of the sun stones were fun but ain't no way I'm grinding for those goddamn keychains.
One of the best collections I've ever had the pleasure to experience. The contents are cool with the art book and packaging, but the goodies in the disc are awesome. All of the major Kirby games are well presented. They may be in 480p but it still looks good on a flat screen TV. The bonus challenges are an awesome inclusion as they were my favorite part in RTDL, and it even includes episodes of the anime!!?? Honestly I'd say this collection is well worth whatever price it is it's awesome and is a masterpiece compared to the shit that was the Mario 25th anniversary collection

Yeah I was fatigued at this point. Looks fun but maybe when I'm in thr mood to play it
This is one of those nostalgic games I can safely go to 100% and have fun doing it. Putting a Kirby game on a console really benefits. The controls feel better than ever, the level designs are more diverse and memorable. It never felt like I was just going through the motions like the other games. And the soundtrack is just amazing. Honestly I recommend this game to be a good start to the Kirby franchise.

I think it plays a bit too safe for a fallout game. But I still love it. The weapon mods are fun, the gameplay is improved and the story is engaging.

Even though I played this on a crunchy 360 port with long load times and shit frame rate and bugs, I loved every second of it. I feel like all fallout games need to take this direction of more that 2 endings and sides you can take. All of the factions are cool and so unique to each other with it's own lore and history and advantages and disadvantages with each one. New Vegas is such a cool place to explore and I'm really looking forward to the next time I play it.

Just an overall solid game. I love the world and atmosphere even if it feels a bit too dead for my liking but that's the point. The world Is so fun to explore and the paths you can choose is also fun. This was my first fallout game and I highly recommend it to be other people's first.
I only had experience with the wario ware series so experiencing the first wario game was really cool. The game immediately shows that it's not a run of the mill Mario game by introducing different mechanics that are pretty fun. I love the way wario plays as a heavy tank but the game is built around it so it's Fun. The soundtrack is like the opposite of a Mario soundtrack by having midi farts playing instead of catchy beats which I love. How ever because of the controls I can see why people might not like it since it's a very slow game to get through but I 100% it so that says enough for me.

A cute and cozy little adventure. I wish they didn't slap Kirby on it and made it its own up like they originally were gonna do but it's a good enough fit. It dose get grating after a while but if you need a nice game to play for awhile it gets the job done
I remember the moment I unwrapped my birthday gift my aunt gave me and seeing the shiny cover for the first time. I was so happy to have a Kirby game again since my neighbor friends stole nightmare in Dreamland from me. I played this game so much trying to 100% it but I could never beat the true area. I finally 100% a few years ago and it was so fun. The remake was definitely worth it. Graphics are better, the gameplay feels better and it's portable! Definitely play this game if you liked the original.
2006
A very run of the mill Kirby game. The squeak squad just show up at the end of every level and mess with you and that's about it. I was still fun, like, it was a Kirby game, but I can't even remember if I 100% it or not.
2005
I played through like half of it. Not really my thing but the graphics were cool and it's a unique concept for a Kirby game I can see people liking it. But if feels like a game to play on the OG DS
2009
I played the game on legendary so this is my legendary campaign review
Honestly even though they restrict a lot of your tools from halo 3 I actually had more fun with this legendary campaign. Being an odst and being overall weaker than a Spartan made the experience more fun for me. I also got all the audio logs which was really fun and tells a cool story. Exploring New Mombasa on legendary made the experience more tense as I felt like I was on my toes the whole time. Definitely recommend playing on legendary.

Not going to lie but this was the hardest final fantasy game to get through for me. It's by no means bad, In fact I think it's an incredible RPG, but coming out of 7 and into 8 was a bit too jarring for me.
The biggest improvement from 7 is the production value and presentation. This is one of the best looking PlayStation games I've ever seen. The pre rendered background are much more detailed and includes more motion which makes the environments feel more alive. The FMV cutscenes are also have improved quality and there are much more of them. Making this the biggest FF game with 4 discs which if I was alive back then would've blown my mind. The graphics and character models are just so much more improved. They've gotten rid of the chibi over world designs, but now all of the characters are the same model and are more resident evil like. Which goes to show how much they've handled the hardware. This games graphics are also beautiful. This game must be played on a CRT TV with component or RGB output to get the fullest experience. The PS3 remake looks like crap with the smoothed out graphics in my opinion. Overall graphics are amazing.
One thing I'm not too sure about are the characters. The game focuses all on Squall (dumbass name) and the relationships he creates whit his other party members. But once Riona (I named her Rino :)) comes in the game then shifts to Squall's and Riona's relationship. Which is really well developed, but none of the other characters really get to shine here. They have their moments here and there but it really never leads up to something. While ff 7's characters all grew in some way throughout the journey, ff 8's characters never really seem too. Which sucks cuz I love all of them.
The villain is also kinda stupid well technically multiple villains idk. The way they explained the villain to me was kinda confusing. They pull the bait and switch mind control garbage which really annoyed me. While you saw Sephiroth's mental state decline throughout ff 7 making him more scary and threatening as time moved on, here, shes just here to be the evil person and I never really felt any of the steaks or anything. Overall great characters that needed more time in the spotlight
The story is also engaging and fun but there were a lot of parts that made me scratch my head. In the middle of the game they reveal that all of your party members except Rinoa grew up together in an orphanage which is supposed to add more depth to the characters but honestly it changes nothing and is never brought up again. They also reveal the the GF have been messing with their memories which made the forget all of that. I really wanted them to expand upon that but they never do. It's still a great story I just think a few things flew over my head.
But the worst thing about this game is the combat. They made it confusing and hard for no reason. They want you to focus on using your GF's and to strategies using junctions but using GF'S took way too long and made any combat too long and boring. They also got rid of the "all" command which was super frustrating and forced me to rethink my entire strategy WHICH WASNT FUN!! this game kept taking away what made the previous games so fun so you could I guess have more fun with more limitations? I hated the combat so much I just threw in some GameShark codes in the middle of disc 3 to get me through the rest of the game. I tried to do side quests to get me stronger but like 80 percent of them require me to do triple triade card game which I disliked a lot so I never bothered with it. But I guess that's how you got stronger so the whole game was just me struggling every battle.
I do wanna say I like this game. But it takes away too much from 7 for me to fully enjoy it. But it's a fantastic RPG that everyone with a PlayStation needs to play.

Played the game again on legendary difficulty and it was a lot more fun than halo 2. The difficulty felt well balanced and less reliant on RNG and the sandbox is also well balanced as every weapon felt useful in some way I didn't have to just rely on a plasma pistol and a BR the whole time. Ammo was plentiful and the whole adventure was just really fun to go through again. My only issue was the transforming flood guys especially the long range one's they almost got me soft locked a few times.
And yeah the story kicks ass
