Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem (the Japan only one)

I was going to try to blind ironman like FE11, on the first Hard difficulty setting, but while losing my healers in chapter 2 and 3x due to silly boss moving and ambush reinforcements was funny, losing two seemingly important characters in turn 2, because of a Thief you can't kill in 1 turn without using a staff, was not. (They ended up not saying anything in the postbattle cutscene anyways, lol)

I'll still try not to reset, as per usual in FE (I LIKE losing units and trying out replacements), but not if I lose out on recruitable characters because I didn't figure out the puzzle solution for the first 3 turns. I did kill Matthis because he suicided into me, but fuck that guy.

This is more concerning the replies here, but in this discussion, saying "Trump did X thing, so that's why it's the voters fault" is precisely why Trump voters exist. You just flip it and say "Biden has been supporting genocide, that's all you need to know" and that's a sufficient argument for Trump voters.

The issue is the amount of fuckups each side had, and while Trump is pretty clearly in the lead (I mean, he's straight up a felon) to us chronically online people, I don't know about normies who only watch the news that didn't get the message through clear enough (not American, so I don't know), or just use Twitter (which is Musk's propaganda now, btw) or even other media that just recommend you what you want to see. They probably see constant allegations against the Democrats too.

To clarify, I meant that I'm fine with multiple things not being 10/10 (I was thinking of Metaphor as a 9/10 across the board, assuming a 10/10 is something I say about things very rarely) as long as some one thing is, like just the ending or just gameplay. I'm not consisent with that though anyways, I thought that Dark Souls 1 really does have 10/10 world exploration early on, yet I don't like it because of a lot of other problems. It's all really just gut feelings in the end, it was the best way I could explain why Metaphor feels like it's missing something.

Personally, I actually gave it a negative review. The exploration generally is very fun, but so much of the levels, activities, combat ranged from unimpressive to infruriating. It's basically carried by just being open-world Sonic, which is a formula for success.

I actually enjoyed the open-world HUB of Shadow Generations, and the game as a whole, much more. In fact, that game probably set my expectations too high, even knowing Frontiers was infamously janky.

In order, from the first? I have only played W3, but I do have the classics on the backlog, or at least W2.

Continuing Metaphor: ReFantazio. It's the most consistently polished game Atlus made (that I played) in years, though maybe SMT VV has a chance once I get to it. The only ones that come to mind are Persona 5/Royal (however much I prefer P3 and P4), and Etrian Odyssey V. Both of which had longer development times compared to their series, who knew?

My only complaint is that it doesn't have any 10/10 aspect that I'd love, most of my favourite games are somewhat flawed anyway, as long as they have that special aspect that clicks. But then, Persona 3 had nothing like that until the endgame, so there's still time for it to surprise me.

I started reading casually, currently Harry Potter to see what the fuss was about.

And I guess TV shows and anime too for years, but I usually only watch these while eating.

Wait, you mean North Korean soldiers were bought by Russia?

Do they allow that there?

Can't believe a quarter of my playtime was The Witcher 3. I don't know if I would've even finished it if I played on PC, it's so damn long. I don't play much AAA though I guess, but JRPGs are long too.

Also, it just occured to me that I spent plenty of time emulating too though...

I specifically want turning the Deck rather than moving it left and right, and I only know of the latter, but I didn't look around much.

Good to know, I figured that maybe it was such common knowledge that nobody mentions it online. (Or I phrased the search wrong)

Yakuza 0 goes through all the emotions with its storytelling: you start by singing karaoke, then become a fugitive, you go bowling, lose a friend, watch a dirty video...

Also, holy shit, most of you guys missed the point. Edit: Wait, did I miss the point? I thought this post was about wrong games for funsies

Though you DO actually fight a god in Yakuza 5 as a sidequest.
