Pokemon Black Version 2 (NDS)

An affirmation of Gen V being the best generation for Pokemon games. It's kinda funny how this game essentially balances out Black and White; while those games shined in story (for a Pokemon game), this one feels like it doesn't really have a story at all. All the story beats feel kinda shoehorned in and most of the plot happens at the end, and is also over before you know it.

Not that it's too much of a problem though, because gameplay-wise this might well be the peak of Pokmon. It's got a phenomenal spread of Pokemon; I enjoyed Black and White's pure Gen V dex, but it's always more fun when you just have access to all of the Pokemon and this game just delivers in that aspect. Every route, every patch of grass probably has a 'mon that makes you go "Ooh, I want to try that on my team!". One of the earliest areas in the game gives you access to Psyduck, Mareep, and Riolu among others. That's three cool Pokemon (lines) from three different gens.

One of the problems I had with OG Gen V was that the new gameplay mechanics it introduced were underutilized or even completely unknowable. While it doesn't go crazy with it, Black 2 features more Triple and Rotation battles, which just creates a nice surprise and challenge (as opposed to double battles, which were always a bit obvious). Hidden Abilities are also easier to get in contact with, as the Hidden Grottoes can offer up Pokemon that always have their Hidden Ability.

But especially the battles feel like a real step-up. Whereas other gens feel like they're afraid to give you trainers past mid-30's, the levels in this game ramp up well. It never really feels like you're under- or overleveled, which is a great change of pace from most Pokemon games where one or the other inevitably happens. It gives a nice challenge, even for normal battles, which is rare for a Pokemon game.

Technically, I actually love the look of Gen V. There's also some absolutely lush tracks in this game; Gen IV is still the best Pokemon OST, but Lacunosa Town is a top-theme in any Pokemon game.

Dishonored (PC)

Great experience. I wasn't expecting so much when I started this game but it really delivered. I love the kinda steampunk setting with the plague background; it's recognizable enough while still feeling really unique. The gameplay is top-notch; you get enough skills to kill or stealth, even though there probably could've been more (stealth-wise you really only need Blink and maybe Dark Vision). The level design is where this game really shines though, and it's really great to finally have a game that shows a route that you can actually take, climbing up ledges on walls and bypassing entire areas. This game will definitely teach you to look up. The writing was engaging enough, I liked most of the characters, even if some aspects of the plot (like everything with the Outsider) could have used some more development, and the ending felt kinda abrupt too. Graphics and soundtrack complemented all the things the story wanted to do so really glad to have experienced this game.

Sniper Elite III (Steam)

Solid enough game. A great example of the downsides of realism in video games; the maps are so big but you'll probably be playing stealthily the entire time, but seeing as you're crouched, you'll move pretty slowly and progress will take forever. Sniping feels very satisfying, especially the slow-motion camera.

Some technical issues with getting blocked by objects, not being able to pass through or under things it looks like you should be able to pass by/through and sniping over cover is a nightmare. Africa is a neat setting but is kinda underutilized, as none of the maps really seemed that incredibly unique to me, although there are some neat structures and settings, most of it feels like a very bland desert. Decent game, but it has superior alternatives.

Cyberpunk 2077 (XBO)

Wow, many thoughts about this game. Basically, it's a good/great flawed game.

Most of the writing is really strong. Judy, Panam, and Johnny are really well written and engaging to interact with. There's some fun and interesting sidequests, like the Delamain/Peralez/Brendan questlines. The main story also does its job well; the set pieces are engaging and give plenty of tension to the action.

Night City is great, but there's a problem there with the writing. Night City is divided into different areas: City Center, Heywood, Pacifica, Westbrook, Watson, Santo Domingo, and the Badlands. These areas are all distinctive enough that they're recognizable when you're there, most of the areas also have their own gang so you can identify the area just by checking out the enemies.

The problem is that the scope of the main story is very limited. You basically only go to Watson, Japantown, Pacifica, City Center and maybe the Badlands? The main story also really only focuses on Arasaka Corp. I would have liked some more sidequests or main questlines that really revolved around Night City and those different areas and what makes them distinct from one another aside from visual setting. Write about the gangs and give them different combat rules depending on what gang they are.

I think the world map also struggles because when you start the game, you just get a map full of quest markers. This actually discourages exploration; if there's no marker there, there's nothing important there. I understand it is difficult to give quests when you pass by a certain place because the game expects you to be in a car/motorcycle most of the time, but a map full of quest markers just gives the feeling of checking off a checklist, rather than exploring and engaging with the world that has been created.

Gameplay-wise, I think the game was fine. It has some cool things like the Mantis Blades and Gorilla Arms and really all of the body mods, but I think a lot of it also felt underdeveloped. There's a throwing knife skill which feels completely pointless, considering you can put a silencer on a gun and bullets are more easily found than random knives (as you don't get the knife back after a throw). There's a lot of hacks you can get, but I usually only used Breach Protocol, Short Circuit and Contagion. I did go for a mixed build, where I got a bit of everything, and it the endgame was quite fun when I just annihilated enemies like some killing machine. Most of the guns feel good too.

The inventory system is kind of a mess. There's just way too much stuff; I can't imagine anyone playing this game ever buys anything in one of the stores as you can easily find guns and armour everywhere, even outside of quests or combat encounters. Your inventory will also get cluttered, especially because the game doesn't allow you to quick compare or immediately decraft something you find (you have to pick it up first). Because of my spread build, I never got around to too much crafting, but I can imagine that makes shops even more redundant.

On a technical level it was fine. I can recognize the graphics weren't great, but as I don't play too many modern games I didn't really hate it. Most of the music is pretty cool.

Overall, I did enjoy my time with this game. I think what I dislike most about the crappy launch is that maybe this game will get buried and forgotten about, when I think it's a good but flawed game (like Mass Effect 1 for example) that could totally be built upon and improved and perfected.

SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection: Ristar (360)

Fun enough platformer. I loved the graphics and sound, there was definitely a lot of love put in there. On a gameplay level, I definitely had to get used to the pacing. Most platformers push you to go fast; Mario has a timer and Sonic just wouldn't be Sonic if you're taking your time. But Ristar allows for a slower approach where you can kinda look around and find your way through the level, which I enjoyed. I wonder if I would've been better if I had played this on a Genesis; I'm not great at platformers, but I feel analog stick control definitely did this game no favours. It feels so janky and inconsistent at times, which is especially problematic in regards to the way you wall-jump and have to hit certain enemies. That definitely frustrated me at times. All in all still a fun romp.

Dragon Age Inquisition (XB1)

This is clearly the best Dragon Age game as I can't imagine going back to such inferior gameplay and environments, and the characters and voice acting are improved, but man am I exhausted, and I haven't touched Trespasser yet.

I loved DAI on my first playthrough until I unlocked the post-Skyhold areas and started going through them and realized that every sidequest was just checking off checkmarks rather than sidestories about the world and the people in it. I love the Inquisition cast but man playing the game always feels a bit like a turnoff. Trespasser is great though.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (XBO(X)

Surprised I never really heard about this before. It's a nice Zelda-lite experience. Positively I would say the puzzle-solving is quite fun; none of the puzzles feel really hard or obtuse but they're challenging enough and especially the Mummy ones can get pretty creative. The platforming feels okay and there's a variety of systems and minigames and things to collect if you wanna take a break from the game for a while. All the enemies and the bosses in this game are annoying. That could be a downside, but I actually like that mobs aren't just all the same or palette-swaps or completely ineffective at all times. Technically the game also looks better than I suspected it would, but I know that the Xbox One ups the XBOX Classics games so that probably has something to do with it.

On the downside, the combat is a bit lackluster. There's basically a normal slash, a spin slash, a jump slash and a ground pound. Aside from the spin and the jump, none of these really change the combat around. You get a blowpipe but it's mostly used for puzzle-solving. You also get a shield which you basically use once to deflect a laser and that's about it. There are some enemies which have ranged attacks, but as you can't move with the shield up, it's kinda pointless. The other system that just feels underdeveloped is the monster capture system. You can capture all the monsters in this game to give them to a museum, give them to some collector, sell them to a shop or use them in puzzles/sidequests. Unfortunately, there are only two monsters that get used this way. It feels like a system they started on, then discovered was too much work to plan and implement and then just kinda gave up. There's a lot of things that kinda feel this way in the game. You get Bouncing and Ice Darts for the blowpipe, but they're basically used for one puzzle and then never again. The OST is also pretty disappointing. It's not bad, but it is very unremarkable and my favourite track was probably the menu theme, but you barely have to open your menu so that makes it even worse.

Overall it is an enjoyable experience and one I would've been interested in to see if they would have improved for the sequel, but it was never made.

Star Wars: Republic Commando (XBO(X)

This game is a fun enough time. The guns feel pretty good, and there's enough of a challenge that creates a tension and fits with the universe. Jedi's had it "easy" against droids, clones less so. The tactical system works but isn't super in-depth; mostly it's just assigning areas as you see them, with the occasional fight where you have to figure out which position is the best.

The game only has three missions so it's pretty short overall, but the missions themselves do go on for quite a while, again giving a good tension to the action as you're never sure when you're in the clear. The story is really just a vehicle for the action, the graphics look better than I expected and the sound is Star Wars.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (PS3)

I didn't have a great time with this. I felt the game was very overwhelming at first; it throws a lot of moves and mechanics at you and it was only over halfway through the game that I really started to get a hang of combos and using magic. Even then, I often felt that shadow magic and a lot of the items and skills were just more trouble than they're worth and as much as I tried to vary it up, I really stuck with a set number of moves. This definitely got me in trouble a couple of times because variation is what makes enemies spew magic orbs, so I didn't get enough of those and I was also terrible at blocking, a skill I really only started to use near the end of the game.

Storywise the game didn't really do anything too much; they kept building Gabriel as this big bad, but I felt like all his evil was basically contained to the end of chapter II or III and none of the other things he did were really all that bad. The game also didn't have a whole lot of cutscenes, only to give me a half-hour one before the final boss, and it was a total "hey here's the plot" which felt kinda jarring.

ALSO on the level of gameplay, I think I just don't really like these types of games? Apparently it's very similar to God of War which I've never played, but the locked camera felt kinda uncomfortable at times and a lot of the QTEs felt unnecessary and very...random? Like I was always super tense in combat because whenever they'd pop up I'd be caught by surprise, also because sometimes it was generous timing, brutal timing, or button-mashing. There were also a lot of game mechanics that felt like padding, like all the chupacabra moments and some of the Titan fights.

A positive I'll definitely give this game is on a visual level. I was kinda surprised by the fact it was a 2010 game and not just the visuals but the overall design I really loved. I was very happily surprised by the wide variety of locales, from dreary villages to tropical temple ruins to snowy mountains,...there was a bit of everything.

This post is very negative; I don't think it's a bad game in and of itself, I just think maybe it's not really for me.

Also lol at the post-credits ending.

I didn't really enjoy this episode. I think it meandered for way too long and the reveal was pretty straightforward, which this show hadn't been up to this point imo, so to see it go there is kinda disappointing.

Darkhold could be interesting because that would be a tie-in to both Agents of SHIELD and Runaways, but it'll probably stay vague like that.

I would imagine Vision doesn't have memories because Wanda didn't want them. Like somebody else said, Vision is dead, so the WandaVision Vision is a construct. If he knew he was an Avenger and everything that implies, I doubt he would have settled into that life without a second thought (running away from Sokovia accords, duty to help people,...). I'm also suspicious of Pietro's questioning of Wanda of how she managed everything; he seems to be the most dangerous outsider.

I really don't understand why people see Agnes as a potential villain when she feels to me as just the supporting character of this show. I could see her having a bigger role, but I doubt she's the mastermind. On the other hand, Vision did make the note of her getting lost in her hometown, implying either Westview is not her hometown or she's being affected by the magic. Aside from that, what has she done? Help Wanda with the anniversary, help with the magic show and prep her for Dottie, ...

Though honestly, I'm surprised I remember anything about this episode...Elizabeth Olsen in that costume was very...distracting.

Sarcastic FemHawke is the best main character in any video game ever, and it's not even close.

Also yes, I will reiterate that a sword and board tank is boring. Maybe I just had a bad build but you're just tanking hits until your party members kill the enemies because you don't do all that much damage. Any DPS class is more fun.

I really love the random conversations between party members. It really encourages me to try different combos and use everyone.

And still I wish they went further with it. I want characters to react to like codex entries you pick up and have them go "That's just propaganda, it's completely fake" and stuff like that, where you have to question the game developers vs the character.

Also did not remember Awakening being short. Especially because it's actually not really DLC, it was pretty much advertised as an expansion pack (you could buy it physically (which I did)).

I played through DA II three times, as a tank, mage, and a DW rogue. I was only truly mindnumbingly bored as a tank. Rogue has fun enough stuff that it gets hype, but mage just is a whole lot of fun.

Also if the person in control isn't Wanda I would be far more suspicious of Dottie. I get that Agnes has been around magic, did the "another take" thing and also was around for the dead dog, but Dottie bled in color! She was also "the key to everything".

I feel like Captain Marvel is just a sore subject for Monica because her mom died and she wasn't there to help but maybe there's some other tension we don't know about, I dunno why a Skrull would have that reaction in particular though, if anything they'd be less likely to? They stay really in-character but don't always know deeper secrets so they'd probably assume Monica was fine talking about Captain Marvel

I feel it would be because the Skrull would know Monica and Carol have a connection, so if grilled on her, Skronica might not be able to give proper details.

I've been watching one episode a week (as in, I watched ep 2 a week after ep 1, so I was always a week behind) but I decided to catch up after all the murmurings of the cameo because that would definitely be something that I would've gotten spoiled on at some point. As interesting as X-Men Quicksilver is, part of me is disappointed it's not the actual actor, but I guess that wouldn't kick things up as much as Xquick will do.

Also I don't know if this is a common theory but Monica is totally not Monica, she's a Skrull, that's why her scans were blank and she didn't want to talk about Captain Marvel.

You have to do the tapestry, but it's real easy and clear.

So what was the Keep again?

Keep is like a application/website that gives you a tapestry of all the (relevant) choices in DAO and DAII so you can just select those. Then you can import that into Inquisition for your world state.

Also I do not remember anything about a court. Architect is pretty cool though.
