You can slice it on sandwiches with perfect coverage.  Canned berry is best berry.

A hitman in a porno movie. “Boy, this guy sure does look like a badass. I bet he gets laid a lot too, like, professionally.”

If Obsidian made an Alpha Protocol 2 and it was even as good as the original, I would be obligated to buy an XBox solely to play it. Or any other RPG that was as good as AP.

Look at the best boy.

“He stumbled into faith and thought
God this is all there is”

You do it to yourself, you do, and that’s what really hurts.  You do it to yourself, it’s true.  You and no one else.

I know I should probably consider that version overdone and just way too much, but he’s so earnest and just kills it. A stunning cover in an unexpected direction.

Thanks for the review, this completely flew under the radar for me and now I’ll have to pick it up!

Sorry, I know this was for Arnheim, but Super Eyepatch Wolf just did a good post-mortem of XV - some spoilers, but a good overview of his disappointment post-supplements.

That said, his insistence on behaving cold and distant

I have a problem with the way 8 handles Squall’s isolation, which frankly never seemed all that isolating. Zell likes him, Quistis is fond of him, the game puts him into the role of being seen as someone relatively cool and in charge - constant indifference to other people’s friendliness didn’t have the same effect as…

If a character’s demonstrated actions and words are revealed, through backstory, to be different from the original perception, how is it not wrong to continue to perceive the character by that first impression?

Agree with everything you said except that FF7's story is incoherent.

Maybe I would remember more if I ever completed it.

Cloud wasn’t an edgelord, he was deeply damaged from literally years of torture and isolation.  Think Winter Soldier.  If we’re going to talk edgelords, I’d like to point this conversation at Squall.

FFXII was half a good story, which is not surprising since Yazmat left halfway through.

A+ to Alucard and Trevor’s voice actors doing some great, deadpan line delivery on Ellis’ dialogue.

I’m not Heather but I’ve played about 35 hours in Odyssey, loved Witcher 3, skipped Origins, last AC game significantly enjoyed was AC2/Brotherhood.

Agreed.
