Extremely repetitive combat that somehow translated the worst aspects of the original TWEWY's combat to a controller and included with it are cardboard cutouts for characters that have the same lack of depth the persona 5 cast had, boring fan service that adds nothing to the game and a monotonous, drawn out story that is easily the worst interpretation of time traveling ive ever seen in media. Why the fuck does this game get the praise it gets?
Also apparently there’s this idea that says you don’t need to play the original TWEWY to play this game. That is absolutely fucking wrong go play the original and you understand this game a lot more

Good game great even but I can't stand hearing a 2013 minecraft youtubers intro every time i get into a battle they seriously gotta do something about that
I played this game before the translation was complete so a lot of the side quest dialogue and item descriptions were ** instead of actual words, but it's was an alright game. Beautiful for the cut scenes that looks straight out of a comic book and I think that alone gives the game a much needed sense of unique identity and helps it stay remembered and stand out against the other Yakuza games.. also on the topic of being unique the soundtrack includes songs done by the Jet Set Radio composer.
Outside of that, the combat feels like the PS2 Yakuza because it's very archaic and clunky, however it wasn't ever horrible to the point where I felt hindered by it, and I think it's pretty impressive that it's even relatively good to begin with. I would write about the story and Tatsuya as a character, but I don't think I could do it justice because of the unfinished translation. I'll replay it one day.

When i was playing this with my mom she broke out in hives because of stress. From playing mario
My mother and father were taking me on a road trip as I hadn’t left the state of Florida throughout my life, and seeing as how my 12th birthday was around the corner, they figured there would be no better time. The trip was long and arduous, the seemingly unending road ahead of us nearly made my father swerve off of the road and slam into a nearby tree, or realistically fall into the river of Alligator Alley. I woke up suddenly to the unfamiliar sensation of my ears popping from the rise of elevation. I looked outside of the backseat car window and the first thing I noticed were the trees, towering and winding above the road, each trunk housing centuries of untold stories. A still darkness lies beneath them with beams of the sunset's light shining through the cracks of the leaves, burning my half-asleep eyelids shut once again. As we drove on a bridge that was above the canopy of trees, I noticed the vast ocean of mountains. The beauty of the insurmountable that laid bare upon my unknowing and immature eyes astonished me, cloaked in a mist of distant fog, shielding me from what lies beyond. What interested me more however, was that I had multiple street-passes on my red 3ds XL that I had in sleep mode during my slumber. That was true happiness.
Nearing dusk, we arrived at the destined mountain in which my grandparents resided. The one way gravel road with many twists and turns and minimal lighting was a horror beyond human comprehension, especially when your father was showing symptoms of being high due to having three mango slushes from Sonic. My Father does not remember this part of the story. After nearly driving off of a cliff multiple times, we arrived at the house. Dimly lit, it was slightly illuminated by the local firefly population. Sadly, we still couldn’t see shit and went to sleep because mosquitoes kept biting my ass. Ouch.
The morning came and I woke up to the smell of fresh air and nice smelling food. Just kidding, it was the exact opposite. I smelt rotting eggs and my balls were shivering because it was so fucking cold and I didn’t have a blanket. This fucking sucked. What’s more is I found out I was sleeping on an air mattress, which at the time sucked until I walked around the rest of the house and realized everything in the house and the house itself were rotting away at the seams. Then and only then was it seen as a blessing. Thank you mother. It was tradition for me as a kid to put my 3ds under my pillow as I slept, and before even opening my eyes I would scrummage around my bed trying to ensure my favorite toy was still there. Thankfully, not unlike all of the preceding days, it was and all was good in the world. Except for the stench of rotting eggs, which I was too lazy to follow. Instead, I opted to play Mario & Luigi Dream Team, a game I had purchased on the eshop months before. I was sitting on the edge of my air mattress in the heat of the final battle against whatever the fuck his name was, when suddenly my “grandmother” barged into my safe heaven, undoing the imaginary locks on the rotting wooden door and allowing the aforementioned stench to flow into my olfactory glands in it’s purest form, and only after reaching my olfactory cortex did the odor truly fuck me up. The ogre stood in the doorway, blocking the light from the morning sun from reaching my once pure, not grimacing face. She asked, no, demanded, “DO YOU WANT EGGS?” in a loud and quaking tone in her raspy voice akin to that of an eldritch demon. Startled, I stood up from the side of the air mattress, the precipice of fate, starring the demon in her ugly and moldy eyes. Pleading for my life, I begged “No, thank you”, then walked past the horrific creation of a jaded God, resting my opened red 3ds XL on the corner of my air mattress and ran as fast as possible toward the door. Not before seeing the watery eggs she had crafted. I dodged a fatal bullet.
As I swung open the front door, I heard a roar from the inner tunnels of the dwelling in which I rested, the demon cursing in her native tongue. It was only when I exited that I saw our location in light. Our cabin was atop a small hill with a barn at the foot of it. I was taken back in awe at the beauty that nature provided, staring distantly at the mountains and treeline. I snapped back into reality when I heard my mother yell my name from the bottom of the hill. I ran down the hill and told my father what I had experienced in the previous 10 minutes. After telling him the tale in which I escaped with my life, I instinctively touched the pocket on my red shorts… It was then I realized the grave error in my judgment. My red 3ds XL was not with me. I recollected the events and came to the conclusion that it must have been left on the air mattress. I looked back at the hill and saw the menacing castle before me, fumes of green oozing out of the many crevices of the once inviting home, a haunting laugh emanating from the inner corridors. I had to make a decision. Face the stench and find my love, or hide in my sorrow and fear. I ran as fast as I could up the hill, dodging the many bugs that came to attack me on my hurried pilgrimage. I rammed open the door and saw the beast sleeping on a throne of human skull. Tip toeing toward my goal, every creak in the floor could be my end. I refused to even breathe on my careful descent into the lair of madness. I eventually met the door and stood quietly in front of it, slowly moving my hand toward the doorknob. I opened the door as slowly as humanly possible, and what laid on my bed changed the course of my life forever.
My favorite, red 3ds XL. Shattered in two pieces. The hinges on my love were completely broken. The game would not even turn on. I wept for an eternity as I realized that I would never be able to play my favorite games again. What’s worse is that there is no conclusion. We don’t know how it happened. My mother believes it was the result of it sliding off of the corner of the air mattress and her stepping on it. My friends think she just snapped it in half out of anger due to the lack of watery eggs in my stomach and vomit in the toilet. But deep down, I know she sat on it because her legs were tired after standing up for 5 minutes after making eggs. Furthermore, the extra padding on her behind due her comically large body weight caught the innocent red 3ds XL off-guard, and couldn’t find a way to lift the pressure of 10,000 suns crashing down upon its red, feeble, extra large body. I never got to complete this game. I can’t ever go back. This is my story.

Wyrs looks identical to my father. Like down to the last minute detail. What the fuck fire emblem.
An unremarkable game in all aspects and its most noticeable with its disgusting pre-rendered mobile game graphics. That being said I still found myself going back to it because of how addicting the gameplay was.
It was fun micro managing my units and making sure they got a good amount of EXP every chapter so they could continue to be useful, though I’m sure that holds true for every single SRPG. It’s a pretty short game and I think it’s worth playing if you don’t go into it expecting greatness.

Put the controller on the ground just as Psycho Mantis said and it didn't move a single inch because i put it on a rug lets do better next time bud
Played this at my grandmas funeral i wonder if she would have liked the endearing story of paper mario and the sticker star
2000
It's alright. Combat is pretty slow and gets monotonous fast and the encounter rate is very pronounced but it's alright. Nothing groundbreaking just fine game
1996
It's a visually beautiful game and probably the best looking one on the console... however this game is just really boring.
The gameplay becomes very tedious when it has you constantly backtracking through levels and fighting enemies that are much lower than your own, and it doesn't help that there's zero puzzles to break up the gameplay. Separately, while I like the games gimmick, the spell naming shit that creates better spells, it felt like more could have been done. A remake would do this game a great service because the story and characters from what I remember aren't that bad. The soundtrack isn’t very memorable either which is a shame considering it’s a Square game.

I have this policy where if i fall asleep 3 times while playing a game it gets dropped no questions asked and i didnt even get 4 hours in this game actually fucking blows
Theres nothing good about this game
1998
Great game with amazing themes held down by duck tape and one of the worst localizations I've ever seen, which is sad because the characters are held back by it a lot. There are many questionable gameplay choices, most notably the shitty wars, and honestly I can put them aside even though they do suck ass, however what I can't put aside is that the NTSC release of this game doesn't even play the music that plays during wars along with a few other tracks due to a bug in the games code. That's just stupid and it's equally as sad as the localization shit because the soundtrack is rather good.
This game is a clear step up from Suikoden 1 in nearly every single way, but some of the things I didn't like about the first game remained in this version, namely the fact that some characters in this game are missable and unless you google how to acquire them, you don't really find out that you missed them until you get access to a tablet that shows you which characters you missed... and by then it's too late to do anything about it.. It's very backwards and confusing.
I really like Suikoden's gameplay loop and I'm planning on playing the rest of the series relatively soon, sadly however my save file from Suikoden 1 didn't transfer for some reason and I didn't find out that it didn't until I was more than half way into the game, which really sucks.. but I'm open to replaying this game in the future and getting all the stars of destiny as I did in Suikoden 1. Chances are I'll do it before I get to Suikoden 3, so I'm not really that pissed about it. Who knows I might end up liking this as much as everyone else when I 100% it later down the line
Hope those remakes fix the problems, though knowing Konami... it won't. Lol

If the game wasn’t constantly breaking due to ubisoft having no clue how to make a glitch free video game (or a launcher for that matter) then it was making me unlock useless combos instead of grabbing which is kind of needed in a beatemup where all of the enemies block your attacks constantly.
Through unexplainable sheer luck and coincidence that confuses even the smartest scientists, the game miraculously stopped all of the previously mentioned glitches. That was when I noticed it, or rather heard it. It was shattering any chance that my already bad hearing had at recovery through its god awful soundtrack. This is seriously some of the worst shit ive ever heard 🔥
Through divine intervention, God himself answered my prayers. He bestowed upon me a single blessing, one that allowed me to live and see the game, no, life itself in a new image. In His unyielding grace, I was allowed to see the game past its many, and no word can do this justice, many problems. Because of this, I noticed Scott Pilgrim™’s horrendous, disproportionate and repulsive art style that the wretched series is somehow known for, blinding my once unobscured eyes.
In the dark reaches of existence, unknown beings who are capable of power beyond the comprehension of even the most powerful deity heard my plight. Effortlessly and without a single movement, the beings shot out a single, delicate and precise ionizing particle from the cores of their existence. Traveling at speeds unparalleled in any reality, the speed quaked the heavens themselves and the very fabric of reality. The destined particle perfectly hit my Windows 10 Computer within an interval that defies all logic after entering the atmosphere, changing a single binary number to a 0, and thanks to the poor optimization of the game and Ubisoft’s incompetent developers, that is all it took for my game to crash completely. With it, my save data not only in game but on my entire computer was completely destroyed. Every single file was corrupted and it was all thanks to Ubisoft.
Please. Do not play this fucking game.

Drew like a joyous, happy version of Final Fantasy haha. Just a glimpse into my bright reality. A full stare into my optimistic perspective would make most simply jump for joy lmao.
