"Superhero story without supervillians"

That's probably the way I would describe my biggest problem with this game: Themes, but in particular, delivery of those.

Outside of "jrpg final God boss", all the villians are just... Actual people, that you could encounter in your own life. Hell, I too had a PE teacher that was glancing at highschoolers. The topics Persona 5 touches are real and serious, in vacuum you could say that the game might be the "darkest" out of all franchise.

But the game treats it in the most immature and lackluster way possible: you simply brainwash the villians and everything goes back to normal. It sucks. It's boring. It's superficial and fake, unlike the villians themselves.
The game asks you to rebel, to break the chains, to desire emancipation, yet it doesn't portray the struggle of the rebellion in meaningful way. You just get a magic wand to fix all your problems.

You could argue that "Palaces" are metaphorical portrayal of the struggle, but... In Persona 4 "shadow world" served as a battleground for the game's themes, while you and antagonists were +- on the same terms(the guy kills people via TV and has Persona, you save people via TV and have Persona). Palaces are just one-sided beating, you never deal with actual problem, you never really fight in real world, all the consequences barely leave the Metaverse. You don't find the evidence(which was done with Madarame and it was GOOD), you don't try find the blackmail material, you never protest, you never actually rebel.

It's physically impossible to take the game seriously that tells you to magically brainwash someone's mother instead of making her fix the relationship with her daughter.

Make the fuck up your mind, whether you want to tell a serious story about delicate subjects or an MCU knock-off.

Have not been able to finish a game recently man either due to finishing up my sophomore year in college or my dogshit time management or getting bored of stuff quickly but I am so glad I gave Parappa 2 a shot out of nowhere cause once I played the first level I basically played the entire game in one sitting

While I am still fond of the original especially stylistically I could not wrap my head around the timing on whatever platform I tried it on this one in comparison is a lot easier as I beat every level 1st try or so because of how many chances it gives you to pick up the slack, however, it makes up for the general lax difficulty by giving you some genuinely insanely quality songs, of course, the lyrics are those charming and childish bars about doing mundane things but the instrumentals paired with everything on screen bumping to it really brings it to life for me. People told me I'd love this game but holy damn I really do.

Generally, I'd say I have problems in the very few-and-far-between variety it's a little annoying having the practice round come up every time and the 6th level is a very far outlier in quality but you can always skip the practice thing and the 6th level is still enjoyable I will say this game also doubled down on cutscenes but me personally I love the hell out of Parappa's humor and oddball character animation so really a problem for people who don't yk

Writing 2 paragraphs about a game that's maybe 4 hours long is a little crazy but to sum it up nicely into a package Parappa the Rapper 2 reminds me of a cartoon I would have loved as a kid with a banging ass soundtrack and weirdly addicting gameplay as I replayed the game already before writing this.

Wow, what an incredible game this is. Devil May Cry 3 is a super complex, satisfying, challenging, and overwhelmingly great experience. Capcom nailed literally everything in this game. The story, characters, combat, music, enemies, level design, everything. They perfectly walked the line between being badass but also being self-aware and not edgy. The cutscenes and story in this game are awesome, I loved all of it. Dante, Virgil, Lady, and Arkham are super well-written and have such cool character arcs. The cutscenes are also incredibly well done.

The combat is so wonderful and addicting, that I kept wanting to learn more and more on how to get better. There are so many options available, including all the guns, weapons, and styles, all of these mechanics work well and give you so much control over how you want to play, while giving so much variety in the gameplay. It's perfect. Not only that but there's so much depth in this game combat that I'm pretty sure veterans who've played this game for years still haven't found everything. It's simply that good.

DMC3 also has great replayability, with bloody palace for practice, getting better at the combat, and of course, getting to play as Virgil. I have no doubt in my mind I will be coming back to this game all the time.

Anyway, it goes without saying that DMC3 is one of the greatest games of all time, absolutely blowing its predecessors out of the water times 1000. Also being a sequel to DMC2, which is one of the worst games ever made, kinda makes this the best sequel ever made, considering how much it really improved, and this being one of the best games ever. Anyway, DMC3 is a perfect 10/10 and I can't imagine many people really disagree.
