Dunno if anyone else saw this, Jenna Morasca was arrested a few weeks ago for a DUI because she was passed out in her car at a stoplight.

Adventures of Mana is fine. It's a better remake in that it actually makes more improvements over the base game than this Secret of Mana remake does over its original version. But I still think SoM is a superior game to AoM.

Portal 2 is great. I thought Portal 1 was a neat thing, but it didn't resonate with me as much as they hype behind it led me to believe. I liked 2 a lot more.

The next one will sort of end with a cliffhanger. It doesn't completely resolve the entire Vegeta stuff not that the fact that Krillin doesn't kill Vegeta will come as much of a surprise, but hey.

A mix of both is probably fine, but I would lean more towards newer stuff as that's what's going to pull people in initially.

Use thumbnails of fun and/or funny moments that happen in each video (where applicable), not just stock art for the game you're playing.

Based on your twitter account, I get no sense of the personality of your channel. It's just a lot of "wow look at this!". Nothing there strikes a chord and makes me want to check out the videos.

I would also consider redesigning your logo, it looks kind of amateurish and again tells me nothing about the personality of your channel.

I would say if you don't have Bartz leveled, now's the time to do it. He seems very important for that fight given Missile can cut chimera's brave in half and then some.

It definitely does come across as lazy. And if someone told me that they started development on this with the intention for it to be a mobile game, but some higher up decided to move it to consoles so they could charge more money for it, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Alright, I played about an hour of Secret of Mana this morning so here we go.

- I never thought the art style they chose for this was that bad, and I think it ends up looks pretty good in motion. Does the game look like it could probably be a mobile game? Yeah, it does, but I'm not of the mind that that's an automatic negative. It can get a little copy+pastey with the environments, but that's how the original game was too. If there was one complaint I had about how the game looks, it's that the character models don't always stand out as much as they should against the background, so certain monsters can get a little lost at times.

- Combat seems mostly intact. The feel of a few weapons isn't exactly the same as the original game, but none of the ones I've tried so far feel bad. It does seem like the monsters have a slightly slower recovery time after getting hit, so it feels like you can keep them stun-locked easier than usual. It has made the game a bit easier (not that it was that hard to begin with). There is a bit of a disconnect, though, given that the combat does feel mostly the same. There's still plenty of junk like homing attacks and your own characters getting stunlocked that was in the original but feels jarring in what should be an updated version. I don't mind it because I know how the game works, but I suspect someone who never played Secret of Mana would think it feels sort of broken.

- Music is really hit or miss. Some of the tracks are nice little arrangements of the original soundtrack. Some of them feel like the composer was given a quota of instruments to use and tried to cram in as many sounds as possible to meet said quota. None of them are as good as the original versions, but you can always swap to the SNES soundtrack in the menu, so no harm done there.

- Voice acting is very bad and I turned it off after about 5 minutes.

- I wish the camera perspective was a little higher. Some of the maps get obscured in unfortunate ways due to the perspective - towns and indoor environments specifically. It's not game breaking, but it doesn't look good.

- There are some really easy QoL improvements that are missing here. Just things like being able to see if new gear is going to be better or worse from the shop menu would have been super simple to implement. The things they did add - like the minimap - are totally superfluous. You can change the inventory limit in the options from the original 4-per-item limit up to 12-per-item. It's totally bizarre that this is an option rather than the default but whatever.

- The one 'major' thing they did add was a bestiary of sorts. It's kinda neat because I like looking at the 3D models of all the NPCs and monsters. It's also super half-baked because it's really just a checklist. Some info would be nice - EXP or gold counts for monsters, weaknesses, drop rate for rare items. The later would have been especially appreciated given there are trohpies for collecting all gear. There isn't even a tab for armor, only weapons! Plus, the movement in the bestiary is overly sensitive. If you tap on the d-pad for more than a fraction of a second, it'll scroll like two or three entries over.

- All that being said, I've enjoyed what I played so far and I see no reason why I wouldn't finish and probably platinum this. I don't begrudge any of the less than stellar reviews though, from what I've played so far it seems like you can get mostly the same experience from just playing the SNES version, which you can get for a lot cheaper than $40 right now. The dynamic PS theme is pretty neat, though.

biggest problem is the game doesnt say enemy got WHACKED! when you crit anymore

if the issue with the game most people seem to be having is that its too much like the original I think Im fine with it because I actually like the way it looks
