the human noble origin still hits the hardest. spent way too long in the character creator and made a guy who looks like a potato but the writing carries it. morrigan and alistair arguing in camp is worth the price of admission alone. combat on nightmare made me actually use the tactics menu for once which i think was the point the fade section can rot tho

i quit in 2019. reinstalled last week. lost 6 in a row to a pudge who hooked through trees i couldnt see. uninstalled. reinstalled tuesday. won one. you know how this ends

my thumbs are not built for this. teammates pinging me every 3 seconds in a language i cant read. lost 7 in a row and queued up again like an idiot

got my ship captured on purpose so i could rescue it and have two ships. felt like i invented strategy. then both ships died in 4 seconds

got told i was a cubone. fine. whatever. then the partner picks YOU and suddenly im tearing up at a gba screen because a charmander believes in me. the dungeons get repetitive by the postgame and the hunger mechanic is annoying as hell but the story beat where you get banished still hits like a truck 20 years later

failed a composure check trying to put my tie on. lost the day. i think this is the only game that has ever made me feel actually stupid in a way i enjoyed. kim is doing his best and i am letting him down constantly

i was so smug about beating richter and then the credits didnt roll and the map flipped upside down. rude. the bat familiar talks like hes my coworker and i love him. alucards walk cycle alone is worth the price of admission

base game is a husk. you need rise and fall plus gathering storm to make it feel finished, which is a wild thing to say about a game thats almost a decade old at this point. once you have all that its great. AI still builds 4 cities and stops, still declares war on you for settling a tundra hex 30 tiles from their border, still cant manage a navy. but i played a 9 hour game last weekend and didnt notice the time so

the gaur plain music kicks in and i forget i have a job. combat takes a while to click but once you understand chain attacks and topple it's so satisfying. shulk's voice acting is rough in spots but i don't care, i love these dorks. the prison island stuff goes harder than it has any right to on wii hardware

bro this game is a second job. spent 6 hours taming a bronto just for some kid named xXDaddyChungusXx to raid my base while i was asleep and feed my dinos to his rex. logged in to a graveyard. the servers run like garbage, the UI was clearly designed by someone who hates you personally, and somehow im still at 1400 hours. wildcard you owe me my 20s back

the train level is the train level. you already know. I replayed this on a whim and got to that section and just sat there grinning like an idiot. the rest of the game is a little wobbly, some of the shootouts go on forever and the cover system fights you, but Chloe alone carries entire scenes. Nate climbing a hanging train car is still one of the best 'oh ♥♥♥♥' moments Naughty Dog ever pulled off

stylus hotwiring is the kind of dumb gimmick that ends up being the best part. drug dealing minigame ate more of my school bus rides than the actual story missions. top down camera kinda rules too, wish more gtas tried it

every time i load in some 12 year old in a flying bike blows me up before i can buy a sandwich. spent more time in loading screens than actually playing. the heists are still fun with friends tho if you can get 4 people online at the same time which is basically a miracle

alex hunter cutscenes were fine i guess. weird seeing harry kane voice acting next to a guy with the emotional range of a traffic cone. ultimate team is the same hamster wheel as always and i fell for it again. spent like 40 quid on packs and got nothing. ea wins frostbite engine made the players look shinier but the keepers are still goofy as hell

launch was a disaster everyone knows that. came back like 2 years later and its actually fine now? i mostly just build my camp and sell junk to other players. the main quest is whatever, the brotherhood stuff is worse. but theres something about scrapping a fridge for screws at 1am that scratches a part of my brain nothing else does. the events are fun when people show up. wastelanders update made the world less lonely which i miss tbh, the empty version had a weird vibe to it
