like any other dreamcast-era sega title this game goes fucking raw, an arcade classic but fairly hard to master (and control)

the writing and even the idea behind it are shallow, i didn't really care about most of the characters, the plot twist out of the ass at the end makes zero sense and it's just not a good or engaging novel
only play this if you haven't grown out of your mindless self indulgence fan phase

videogames are supposed to be fun, you know? i don't have any issue with the setting (except the piss filter oh how common in 7th gen games) but the missions are just so overly repetitive and linear, and the story getting practically nowhere doesn't help the gameplay any bit, the message is there but it isn't really solidified.
but it's really the best attempt in the series' history to make gta more like a crime movie rather than a meaty open-world crime sandbox, it's insanely polished compared to san andreas wastelands and rpg mechanics, the characters are memorable, the story doesn't feature area 51 raiding, even if not as good as people say it is, etc etc.

this game obviously sucks ass, it comes off as predatory edgy wankery for 10 year olds (when i actually thought it was interesting) but there's just something amusing about rpgmaker cheese that's missing in modern indie titles

with amazing highs and horrendous lows, this game is extremely flawed but remains being great fun and it's a modern sonic story that doesn't make you want to blow your brains out like forces
also big nostalgia factor

really forced fillery story and an ok fighting game. the timings for the combos are ridiculous and kanji plays like shit

reddit: the videogame
the writer is literally a cuckold, outside of the hideous "quirk chungus" characters and the mediocre storyline you have a grindy boring as hell fps, there's really no difficulty to this game, you just need to do mundane optional quests to level up so shit doesn't oneshot you. not an experience i'd like to revisit

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE A PORK BUN

good game that's obviously a love letter to Yakuza, but remains creative (and more engaging than most Yakuza games) throughout.

cheesy and overlong story mode but nonetheless surprisingly high-effort for a persona spin off game, i like the gameplay and the choreography

1996

this game will make you cum in 5 seconds
still the best FPS

decent road trip movie
i appreciate it for being made when it was, i obviously understand the impact it had on reviving adventure games in the players' eyes (same as heavy rain but here the story and presentation doesn't blow dicks) and i get why people like it (cause there's only the least worst option when you get a choice) but it didn't do much for me

the kicks, weapons and general feel are definitely great but the story is, as expected from an early-10s fps, oozes "lolz so random" vibes, although thankfully not as bad as borderlands or saints row 4, i actually laughed a few times so there's that. a good console shooter but there are way better games on pc

what a fun game! i really liked the part where you escorted a character from point a to point b, defended point a and then point b and the occasional scripted mission where you just shoot things while something the developers think is funny happens
such a fucking chore to play

this shit is so fucking boring bruh
every level is like the other and there's no real challenge

the more i spend time with this game the more i think that it's literally just a run and gun but hey we have these COOL and AWESOME church-inspired enemies, mid ost AND a "combo" system
overhyped
