I ended up just watching a Let's Play because Nier only seems obtainable on a PS3 (which I don't own). It drives me nuts how many games I've lost access to because I went from a PS2 to a PS4.

For all the reasons to give to cancel this beautiful fucking wonderful show (expenses, location nightmares, etc.) THIS IS THE ONE YOU GIVE, YOU ASS.

Nier: Automata is more suited to a Game In Progress—due to the shifts in both narrative and game play that occur with each play through—than almost anything I've played recently. It's too bad that only the larger, more anticipated games get this treatment.

The one pure bright spot is that as a reward for completing that DLC I can now take Gladio's shirt completely off, and I do so with impunity.

I've been genuinely impressed by many video game soundtracks this year. I've spent a lot of time listening to pieces from Final Fantasy XV, Persona 5, and Nier:Automata's respective soundtracks.

After being rather underwhelmed with the Gladio DLC, I'm definitely hoping Prompto's and especially Ignis's have more heft to them narratively and combat-wise.

I finished Persona 5. I honestly feel like I have a bit of a hole in my heart after dedicating over 115 hours to it. As much as I don't mind a reviewer disliking or hating a game that I have a lot of fondness for, it's really too bad that the Game in Progress reviews became so much of a slog. I do feel there's a lot…

Clearly I've missed something of value because I keep seeing (when you can look at daily average daily activities through the network) that people are praying in a shrine. I remember seeing a book about a shrine, but I never read it and clearly it would have been a benefit for me to do so. Oh well! I'm already in the…

I'm gonna ignore what you said about my sweet girlfriend, Haru.

Everyone likes to rag on Haru, but I maxed out her Confidant and ended up in a monogamous relationship with her (I was waiting to enter any kind of romance—leaning towards avoiding it all together—and when the option came up for Haru, I was so invested in her by that point that I ended up going for it).

I quite enjoyed the 6th Palace but the 7th is slowly killing me.

Is KH 1.5 just a re-release of of the original KH 1 and 2? I have a warm place in my heart for the Kingdom Hearts series and was considering purchasing it since my PS2 is gathering dust in my parent's house, but $50 is steep for two games I already own and have played in the past (even if it's been almost a decade).

I just read that Kotaku article about that guy showing up to an American Twitch streamer's door from Singapore. Woof. I would certainly prefer the more mundane version of trolling to that.

Barry?

That orange shake and go wig. My god.

Yesterday I lost over an hour of progress because I got attacked in quick succession by three powerful enemies in the 5th Palace. I've died so infrequently and I had so many resurrection potions/skills that I forgot how important it is to insure my MC doesn't die.

My issue is also a little more involved than that. I essentially wanted someone to upend the fact that literally every male party member (and only the boys) is currently or has been engaged in some variant of desiring Ann in a non-platonic fashion. You could potentially make an argument for Yusuke wanting something…

I'm still amused that MC is supposed to be seen as a violent delinquent when he is clearly the prettiest glasses wearing boy I've ever seen.

I thought I was giving Kawakami a nice chocolate gift and she pretty much replied "what is this bullshit" before straightening her face and saying "i mean thank you!" It was only after this that it occurred to me that of course a grown underpaid educator with money issues who always feel mistreated probably wants the…

I had a pretty intense "Bitch are you for real?!" moment when she was trying to get that lady to buy another pendant to stop her boyfriend from beating her. Chihaya, girl, just direct that lady to the nearest counselor and take the financial loss for god's sake.
