Damn Metroid Prime 4 looks way too good...
November 28, 2025 at 2:19 PM
Not anything new but NG4's composer sums up why I kinda just look at TGAs as just a place get cool trailers *it barely does that right*It's not an even that actually appreciates games. I know most awards shows are like that and I stopped watching those too...

Though I do like Nomura’s commentary about action games needing “spice” in their movement rather than limp smoothness. Probably explains why the VS13 clones never looks as cool as the real thing

I was trying to see if there was some overlap between how Sakurai and Nomura designs games since both of there stuff approach things with fun in mind. Most I found was this Smash 4 interview that talks about both’s philosophies. One just wants a good time and the other goes all in *explains a lot*

I’m also looking at concept art for the sequel and while Kachi’s jacket design is fine I almost wish she kept her lolita look. I guess it would’ve probably clashed with the rest of the game though.

I did learn that there was a prequel light novel that had a few cool illustrations tucked away. Makes me wish there was a manga too…

Looking at Sin and Punishment art again and just like with Rival Schools I’m sad it didn’t get one episode OVA or something

Yorha Yuffie looks cool as hell. Especially compared to Tifa, who is just wearing 2B’s outfit. tbh it should have been something based on her Advent Children design.

Side note I can always remember the specific year I learned that I was too online because 2016 was the year where some dude was made about the vagina bones in Tokyo Mirage Sessions

I did know about Nero’s shadow punch somehow

V seems heavily inspired by Babel II

In DMC5 when playing as Vergil you can get Dante to have a dance off with your doppelgänger if you use an EX Taunt against him

These are definitely Satoshi Urushihara designs alright

Had to update the top 25 lists real quick *they’re not ranked in any particular order”

I gotta go with these four + KH2 Riku, Future Trunks, and black suit Spider-Man.

I used to have a sketchbook full of these guys

so idk if it counts but I can’t ignore FFT especially with today’s climate. With the remaster this is like my fourth time playing it and yet the story and gameplay never feels old.

It also was a game I used to dislike back in the day until I downloaded it on my hacked my PSP out of boredom.

I bought NG4 almost 30 days ago and I still can’t put it down. Idc if it’s not the perfect sequel to NG2, idc if the story is bad, or if Ayane showed up for 3 seconds.

I’m not thinking about any of that when I’m slicing up aggressive enemies with Ryu or Yakumo while C-tier rock music is playing
November 20, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Now what’s special about these four is that I initially hesitated or straight up turned up my nose at them.

Glad I randomly changed my mind on all four they’re like the perfect examples of games being fun first over anything else.

Despite it becoming TLOU for jrpgs I really do think Expedition 33 is special. The gameplay, story, music are all good.

I just you know didn’t dislike or was nostalgic for certain jrpgs before I played it so I’m not annoying when I talk about it

Plus as a Umineko fan I was bound to love this too
November 20, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Oh I’m tripping I also beat the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster. Unsurprisingly it still holds up and the game’s narrative hits extra hard nowadays.

I think I still prefer the PSP voice actors but the new guys aren’t that bad minus those redubs in the animated cutscenes
November 19, 2025 at 12:26 PM
I also binged all three seasons of Vox Machina and yeah that’s a pretty good show. I probably won’t ever play dnd myself but stuff like this, BG3 and even Dungeon Meshi *if it counts* make me respect the stories and characters at least.

Catching back up with Monogatari and this scene was such a cool/cute callback for Shinobu’s being happy to see Araragi again in Owari

Just beautiful man

Dispatch actually stuck the landing. I had my doubts at first but that was a pretty solid game. Probably on par with the first seasons of Tales from the Borderlands and TWD. Man what an overall great year for releases.

Goddamn Predator Badlands was a good ass movie. That was like a shonen, graphic novel and video game wrapped up into one film.
