That’s a pretty nifty idea! A Waluigi sort of take on WarioWare’s chaos fueled fun, only more centered towards messing around with the Mushroom Kingdom’s denizens.

That’s a really great point. I don’t want to see the Goose get smacked around either (if it were a Canadian Goose though hmm.... tough call). Having Goose as an Assist Trophy would bring the best of both worlds to the Smash platform without upsetting the tone and fun of either works. The Goose definitely works best in…
Agreed 100% on the environmental frustrations. I might be a tad bias because I enjoyed Ground Zeroes so darn much, but I really think MGSV would have been better served released episodically and involving a handful of concentrated, condensed environments in place of these sparse areas with insurmountable mountain…
Glad you’re getting invigorated and invested in MGSV’s many virtues. It has a lot of hiccups to its design and pacing too, to be sure. I concur 100% that the base micromanagement doesn’t flow well with the rest of the game’s mechanics (Peacewalker was much better in this regard IMO). But for every component that just…
Honk~! ^^
So true. At least it seems with 6* Magicites it’s more about powering up a gauge before pushing past Phase 1, but with Odin it’s Lightning Round Mania all the time; if you stop to breathe or it’s something like Fire Odin where he tanks up and you can’t over imperil his resistance, it’s all over.
I agree completely on all counts. I would have loved a more subdued, intimate setting that just happened to feature an artificial eyeball AI and smaller yet extremely emotional stakes. Everything like that is perfect in Somnium Files.
Yeah, that definitely checks out. Boss tries to out-Date Date in his gags, Tesa has more of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl vibe going on and does her own thing (which is great in spots), Ota is basically Date as a side character without the futuristic cop powers but a similar level of immaturity, and that just leaves Mizuki…
Yep yep. Exactly same level of hopeful expectation/crashing dissonance here with my perspective playing this game. If I were to pick any scene to serve as inspiration for Somnium Files from VLR, it most certainly would not have been the frickin’ Lever Scene and Sigma “looking for his contact lenses” in the Library…
/cheer to you on your enjoyment of Somnium Files thus far. I have a feeling I got the exact same two first endings as you, because they made me tear up immensely as well. Especially with how heartfelt and well threaded the Somnium Worlds were to the storytelling. So intimate and with harrowing personal stakes,…
Have a blast with Shenmue! Capsule toys, mini games, tons of quirky characters, what’s not to love? /cheer
Oooo, congrats on the Daily Draw luck! /cheer ^^ Adding that together with Cloud and Awakening power and Titan won’t know what hit him.
Yep yep, agreed. There’s always gonna be some degree of dissonance, culturally or subjectively from different personality types with whom we connect in these stories with eccentric characters. But in Somnium Files there’s just this nonstop inundation of ribald shenanigans that buries the tone, pacing, and spirit of…
Agreed 100%. I love the charm and ambition of the Gabriel Knight series, whether those components work completely in any given outing or not (usually a mixture of the two). And /comfort to Peter Lucas for his amazing portrayal of Von Glower in Gabriel Knight 2 being so vastly underappreciated by and large over the…
I absolutely adore that scene. Not because of Walken at all sadly. He’s in full-on Peter Pan /Captain Hook mode here. But David Warner is always David Warner superb. /cheer! ^^
Glad to be of service! Note, it’s significantly shorter than something like Danganronpa or Somnium Files. I believe it’s only around 8 hours long. Should you procure it in the future, I hope you have a memorable time with it. This has been Shinigami Apple Merchant, your personal game recommendation bot. [END PROGRAM,…
