I’m glad I’m not the only person getting Way of the Samurai vibes from this game. I played a lot of Way of the Samurai 3 back in the day, so awesome to see it a little bit in another form. I’m slightly worried because I didn’t love Wo Long and its horrible PC port, but I am excited for this one at least. PS5…

Lol I honestly thought you weren’t OK with how much you seem stuck on making sure I don’t like this film and how critics apparently actually hated it validly too. And I’m surviving man, doing OK thank you.

OK, understood. You really don’t like the film. You also seem to mistake me for other commenters here as I never said it was “ahead of its time” or that it was anything beyond a fun satire that I enjoyed. I just remember some reviewers back in the day and word of mouth saying it was a dumb action flick without really…

I don’t know man, read some reviews back then where the reviewers clearly didn’t get that it was satire lol.

This film always reminds me of the situation around Last Action Hero. They’re both satires that went over the heads of a lot of critics because they were action/sci-fi films. They ironically missed giving them proper critical analysis and wrote them off as simple “popcorn flicks.”

I don’t know man. I feel the only time I see people this dedicated to some plastic and silicon, it’s when some article is dredging the bottom for some content to farm. I’m sure there’s way more than I realize as I’m one person with my own limited world view and network of people, but I don’t ever really come across…

Console warriors is a bit strong I think, I’m honestly surprised there’s that many left in this day and age. I moved past that ages ago, and many of my friends did as well. It’s just a way for people far richer than I to manipulate consumers in to spending way more money so they can become even richer. Anti-consumer…

The Lost Odyssey Dreams were my favorite part of that game, so that’s actually awesome. I might have to actually get that, I will at least check it out more thoroughly now. Thank you very much for the reply, appreciate it.

OK, that sounds interesting at least, thank you for the detailed reply. I appreciate it.

Great review, thank you very much Mr. Broadwell. I had a quick question if you are inclined to answer? How far do these Tales style skits go in this game. I remember Tales of Arise got so obnoxious and bogged down by them at the end that it frustrated me to no end. Like end game stuff of hitting story cut scenes, then…

Man, you actually just sold me on this at the end. I played this game on the PSP back in the day and I thought it ended brutally, but perfectly. I am sad it doesn’t have the FemC content, but thrilled it doesn’t include FES so going to pick it up.

I actually finished that game last year sometime. It’s pretty good, but definitely has some problems:

I have never cringed myself out of game harder than this one. Don’t really mean any hate here, but I don’t like anything outside the core battle mechanics.

Do yourself a favor and look up Redemption Reapers, which releases this month on multi-platforms I believe. It has the director behind Path of Radiance involved along with some other game dev vets.

OK, maybe a bit hyperbolic here? Came in expecting something actually bad, and it’s fine. Not something I’d download and listen to, but definitely not something I’d leap to change the station for. It also doesn’t fall into the cover pitfall of regurgitating the original song back to me, so even better in my eyes.

If you want the full experience of the main character in Village’s arc, start with RE7. You could get somewhat away with starting at Village, but you’d honestly feel like you’re missing something throughout.

Monster Hunter is a really obtuse and confusing game series to get into. It can also be brutally hard at times. On the other hand, once you get used to and into the various systems, it can be one of the most rewarding games you’ll play.

And I’m suddenly re-reading the article and seeing that I somehow missed that lol, my apologies. I blame lack of sleep for it and not that I skimmed the article ;).

Definitely get the sentiment, but getting to that point in my life where I want to trim a bit on the physical objects I keep lugging with me everywhere, so…

Thank you Mr. Daniels for the recommendation. I had not heard of this game, and it does sound amazing. I did want to mention these soundtracks are also currently on Spotify, just thought I would add that as it was not mentioned in the article.

I actually got three of them:
