If you haven't played a game you don't get to have an opinion on it beyond "interested/not interested in eventually playing."
And for the love of god don't get in an argument with someone who has

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

Wrapped up all the endings last week myself but these changes are incredible.
Thank you to all SILENT HILL f players for your patience. Today we've released a patch that adds a new casual difficulty and addresses feedback we've received, including reducing the amount of forced combat areas, speeding up NG+ runs, and bug fixes such as Sakuko's diary in NG+.

More Time Stranger observations:
Armors and Hybrids being unlocked when they are interestingly serves as something of a consolation prize for players who didn't build Agent Rank through sidequests.
That way even players who can't get Perfects yet can still upgrade post-Factory pre-Abyss

I do think if you engage too much on everything, you genuinely become insane that you'll just say literally anything.

Hello adult levels
Evolution in Time Stranger being tied to your quest progress has the neat side effect of you being stuck with Child-levels for a while. Means whenever you do face an Adult it genuinely feels like a boss.
This (along with the Beatbreak anime) letting the Child-levels fight is quite refreshing

4 or so hours into Digimon Story Time Stranger and this has already fixed most of my issues with Cyber Sleuth.
There's a lot more plot stuff to hang onto early on, and the attack chips + Reverse allow for a lot more freedom in teambuilding.

One of my most crank political views is that holding steadfast to old/outdated localizations like calling FF6 FF3, using DiC dub terms for Sailor Moon, etc because "it's the version you knew as a kid" is at least slightly fascist-adjacent
Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

This song, video, and the story arc it was made for pretty much define what One Piece is to me.

allowing myself one vaguepost to say that none of those dumb rightwing guys you're countersignalling are even on this site. You don't have to do that. I thought you came here to get away from them but seems like all you do is obsess over them.

Probably going to skip legends ZA or at least wait, the real-time combat doesn't really seem interesting and the full Pokedex comes off as overly safe/restrictive.
I look forward to seeing the new Megas in Champions, a game with actual abilities that would let them have different playstyles

Without a charismatic leader I think the Republic fails to mobilize in the same way and is more vulnerable to scandal.
End result is probably a treaty that establishes the CIS as a semi-autonomous sector, not quite independent but with a lot more pull.

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
