The things I put myself through just to play an X-Men game...

Y'all need to listen to the Brazilian version of this opening; it is amazing.

When I say that Saint Seiya is a precious treasure of Brazilian childhood, I'm not kidding. It was almost as big as Dragon Ball Z at the time.

Showtime! 2006 was Castlevania's 20th Anniversary, so let's see how Konami celebrated with their second entry for the Nintendo DS. Let's look back on Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin!

Glad to know! It's already on my wishlist, I'll see if I can get to it as soon as possible.

Splintered Fate is great!! And Hades II needs no comment 🔥

And what did you think of Tactical Takedown? I kinda want to play it, but tactical games intimidate me a bit 😅

S: Sackboy (LittleBigPlanet)

The embodiment of creativity. To me, this is one of the best character designs ever, it manages to be both a blank slate for the player to express themselves, while still oozing with personality and charisma. Instantly recognizable, but also infinitely customizable 💚

Nah. I'm not really into the main Pokemon stuff, I'm more of a Pokemon Puzzle Challenge for the Game Boy Color kind of guy.

Orlox, his name is Orlox. I had to look it up, it was driving me crazy lmao

And I just realized that this is the same Orlox that appears in Castlevania Nocturne. Wow.

The telescope room is the one with the bird nest, right? Yeah, that one is really good!!

As far as specific screens, I love that room where you fight the guy in a purple armor, can't remember his name. I would honestly frame this one and hang it on my wall.

The original PS2 release was a trilogy. The 4th chapter is exclusive to this collection, but it is way shorter than the other three.

There's another .hack saga on the PS2 tho, and that one has 4 games, so you might be thinking about that one.

The original trilogy was developed by CyberConnect2 and publoshed by Bandai Namco between 2006 and 2007 for the PS2.

This collection, that includes the original trilogy, as well as an exclusive epilogue, was published in 2017 for PS4 and PC, and in 2022 for Switch.

Game 288: .hack//G.U. Last Recode

Taking place inside an in-universe online game, this saga of RPGs brings a ton of interesting characters, a fun real-time combat system, and an engaging narrative filled with mysteries about the true nature of that virtual world and its real life implications.

And like, what even is a bad game? If I'm playing and enjoying it my time, isn't it technically good? It is doing it's job of being entertaining after all.

People shouldn't play bad games, because bad games are the ones they'll play and not have a good time, regardless of its "objectively quality"

Visually speaking, I always loved the library.

Gameplay-wise, the colosseum has some of the more interesting and fun combat encounters (plus the music 🔥)

And the underground cavern for its calm, somber vibes. And also the music, Crystal Teardrops is one of my favorite pieces of music ever made.

The music slaps and Persona 4 Arena is dope. That's about it.

It was the first one that came to mind, and honestly, I can't think of any unlikely sequel I'd love to see more.

I mean, Castlevania is bound to come back eventually, so I won't waste that opportunity with that.

Oh no, instead we're finally getting that Bloody Roar revival. I'm talking big budget, big roster, and graphics on par with Tekken 8. BLOODY ROAR 5 WILL BE THE MAIN EVENT AT EVO.

Man, I wish 🥲
