The gameplay loop of these old BioWare games are truly timeless. The first world Tarris was such a joy to explore and go through and do all the side quests. I don't know how they did it but every option I could've chosen had fully voiced dialogue and I was more and more impressed the longer the game went on.
The game itself was so much longer than I thought it was going to be. I thought that this would have been like 30 hours or so and by the end it took me 84! I was not prepared for that and it is the reason that it took me over a year and a half to finish.
The game was a pain in the ass to setup with all the mods for a modern playthrough. Took about 100+ mods and 3 hours to install them one by one.
The main reason why I wanted to play through this was because I have fond memories of watching my cousins play through this when I was a child. I remember sitting cross legged on the floor for hours while they went through Tarris and Dantooine to pass the jedi trials. It reminds me of a simpler time.

After sitting on it for a couple days, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I am glad to have played it for myself.
Although, I was not expecting to have to play the game 3+ separate times to be able to say I "Beat" the game.
Most of my confusion came from the fact that the entire time I was playing I felt like the gameplay was always coming second. It felt like sure, there were all these mechanics such as fusing plug-in chips, combat, and weapons but all of it felt unnecessary because the main story was the most compelling part to keep playing.
I felt like this was more like a movie/show pretending to be a game.
I would say to not grind out the best plug-in chips and just go at whatever pace you feel like because you can be TOO strong and just one shot things if your build is too good. Also, the side quests don't give that great of loot anyways but they were enjoyable for the most part for world building. It's better just to fuse what you need at a good rate.
The OST is one of the best I've heard in any game. And the song playing during ending 'E' with the additional choir felt quite special.
Also, 2B's costume design is basically perfect and will be iconic forever.

Moment of silence for the poor kid in 1987 who had to play this without 20x speed and the wiki.
Think I got this game for free as part of the "sorry" when PSN got hacked back in 2012. Game is not very good.

Wasted a lot of time obsessing over how to make the most money possible. Not even sure if there are other people in the town.

Interesting game that was fun to work through with a pen and paper taking notes. Finished it all in one session but had to look online for a summary of the story once we finished to make sure we didn't miss anything.
Played this as a kid and had a lot of fun with it. I am still scared of the thing in the first level's attic to this day...
The aesthetic of this was really great. The vibrant colors with the soft art style and music in that 80s' style was a mood that really sold this for me.
The romance that happens between the two girls turned out to be quite sweet in a way that I wasn't fully expecting.
I wish I knew that the adult patch needed to me manually copied over for it to work before I finished reading half of it. The adult patch turned out to be quite tasteful and I think it only added to the experience.
I'm not fully aware of the history of Hong Kong but I think the creators succeeded with their creative project to bring awareness to the issues of freedom of speech in the region to people like me who were unaware.

When I was a kid I played this a bunch of times and had a good time. All I remember is the chocolate jet ski level. I don't even remember what the point of this game is anymore.

Quite an interesting game that I found on accident while looking for a fishing game.
I enjoyed the art style a lot and just roaming the ocean and exploring the different islands was pretty and fun to do. The game could have used a difficulty option as it was way too easy towards the end if you got any of the optional upgrades to the ship that the game didn't require to progress.
This game doesn't really feel like a fishing game at all though. It felt like something more akin to Stardew Valley. If you replace the fishing with planting crops to sell in the community chest then the game is exactly the same to the T.
I wish that the game was a little scarier tbh. There were some interesting experiences to be had when you go out after dark but everything became predictable after a while. I think a lot more random events that negatively effect you without your consent would've made the experience of fishing at night more interesting and would keep that eerie feeling towards the end.

Pretty good racing game on the PS3 with a lot of content. I enjoyed the progression of the game as you work your way up getting more money and buying and upgrading cars that you want to race with.
It was unfortunate that I played a couple challenges in the Ayrton Senna DLC and won so much money that the game was kind of ruined for me.

Was really trying to cheat on my long time girlfriend the entire time but I guess I answered the questions too honestly lol. The ending I got with Katherine was very cute so I guess it makes up for all the pain that this stupid puzzle game caused me.
The controls for this game were awful. Why does pressing left go right like half the time?

They really fixed all the problems wrong with the combat and pacing with the first game. It's a shame that nobody played it.

This game felt broken towards the very end. I think there was so much content on the disc it like couldn't handle it by the end. I liked how permanent the choices you made felt and it is a very cool time to play from this save file into the other games in the series. It honestly is the best part about this game.
Back when I was a kid who couldn't read this was my favorite thing ever.
