i am a singular ant walking across a vast corpse

i have been beaten numb by the sheer length of the whole thing, but yeah its good, i'm gonna go watch all of nichijou to recover and then not touch a video game for like 4 months

had a fun time with this for about 18 hours, which is when i finally succeeded in completing my first actual run, and then i never picked it back up again. and honestly i think i'm fine with that, but its a cute game for sure.

in deciding where to start with the yakuza series, it was either this, kiwami 1, or the original ps2 game

and somehow the ps2 game was the one that won out in my heart, so ill get around to this game in like, 10 years

gave it a revisit a year or two ago, hadn't played it since high school. didn't especially hold up for me, no game should have to bear the burden of "being made on a bethesda engine"

i tried this during release but i didn't get very far, i remember being annoyed i could use the mp3 player while trekking, but i like the vibe it gave the delivery stations to just chill out and put on Pop Virus by Gen Hoshino, take a shower and then chug 6 monster energy drinks in a row before checking my in-game emails. so i appreicate it on that level i guess? idk, i'd like to play it again one day, seems real interesting, mechanically

yeah i can see why this was a big deal, pretty neat

finished! very good! Arrgh! Avast!! and so on and so forth (incredible detective game hampered down a lil bit from its pulpy orientalist mysticism veneer imo)

having a good time with this so far, good podcast game, been listening to Friends at the Table's Marielda season during it, though i got to the part in both the game and the show where i had to start paying actual attention to both and i'm a bit sad to say that i can't really do both at the same time anymore, alas

played a bit, decided to try it out for the story, but it ultimately couldn't hold me with how mediocre the actual shooting felt, think i dropped off after the england mission(?)

i'm not playing this unless i can date the robot

you should play this game just for jc denton's vocal performance alone. the rest of the game is also pretty good! (i got halfway through the game like 8+ years ago, one day i'll get back to it)

sometimes a game gives me a migraine to look at it for some reason, idk, something about the color palette or art direction just physically makes it bad for my eyes for some reason thats completely unrelated to its actual quality

rain world is unfortunately one of those games? seemed neat tho

i fucking hate this game
"so stop playing it?"
no

played through this with a friend online via the master chief collection on steam and lol, this game sure does not like being played huh?

had weird crashes several times a session with no obvious fixes as we tried to drag this game kicking and screaming through a disjointed and fractured campaign who's scripting always seemed like it was on the verge of just falling apart completely? like whats up with those wait times between enemy waves, it always took -just- long enough for you to think something in the game broke before finally loading in more dudes for you to shoot.

luckily when there are dudes to shoot and cars to drive and stuff it feels like, yaknow, good, so whatever, no big deal that the whole thing kind of feels like its held together by duct tape.

arbiters cool tho

i decided that i cant just play this, i have to take a sabbatical from the msq and go and do uh, literally all the other content of the game first and level up every job and experience every pre-endwalker thing i can before i can let myself play endwalker so i can

i dont fucking know, have the fullest experience or something? idk dude i really dont. fucking nightmare idea. anyway then elden ring came out and my life has not known peace since so ill get around to playing this in about a decade or so

quite frankly the perfect video game, just pure joy

i have trouble forcing my brain past the mental hurdle of "no, do it all perfectly the first time!" to fully appreciate the hitman series as a thing i can play unfortunately, but one day...
