It was good decision to have my first playthrough of this game on stream. Though the Kalos region is kind of boring, it's still a nice game with moderate challenge. I liked Mega-Evolutions and Kanto starters, though I think Kalos starters should've had one instead. Gym Leaders are well designed, even though most of them are easy. Difficulty curve is slightly broken, but it's far from Johto games. And Pokémon available in the region are pretty good, even though the ones introduced in Kalos are quite underwhelming. Still, I think the game deserves much more appreciation, than it recieves.

Тебя выкинут на полупустую арену с сотнями одинаковых болванчиков, которых тебе нужно убить потому что "вставить причину", потом ты полетаешь на драконе с одним из самых убогих управлений в истории видеоигр, чтобы убить ещё несколько сотен одинаковых болванчиков. Повторить это несколько десятков раз, чтобы осознать, что для получения "истинной концовки" тебе нужно вернуться на эти одинаковые арены, чтобы выполнить условия, которые тебе никто никогда не напишет, чтобы вступить в битву с финальным боссом игры, которая заключается в том, как часто ты умеешь нажимать паузу и рассчитывать действия наперёд.

Поздравляю, Йоко Таро, ты лучший игровой тролль 2003 года.

Though I don't really like usual racing games, the AG racing just hits different for me. And WipEout games are the best of it. It reqiures much more precision, than F-Zero, yet feels so much faster. And WipEout Pure is really solid experience. Out of all WipEout games it has the most content. Tracks are good, some of them are really memorable, like Sol 2. Team logos are really well designed, my favorite is FEISAR. The amount of racing teams is excessive, but I like it. Even so I just prefer racing for one of classic teams like Auricom or Qirex. I know how broken Triakis ship is in this game, but for me fair play is just more enjoyable. What drags this game down a little, is the performance. The game doesn't feel smooth with all FPS drops. Emulation and FPS unlock cheats fix this problem, but I like to play on the go. If you want more smooth experience, you can play WipEout Pulse, even though there is much less content. Also, the music really helps stay concentrated when racing, so I don't recommend to turn the sound off.

This review is an addition to my Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D review. The game was played on RPCS3, only with original Snake Eater camera and also with no alerts. This version offers much smoother experience than 3DS port. The controls are more stiff, but the smooth framerate compensates really much. I think that Subsistence camera is much better to see everything nearby, and Snake Eater camera is just better for observing something farther. I think that this version of Snake Eater is much more suitable for the first playthrough, than 3DS version, although both versions are amazing.
