Man this is a fun game. It's supposed to be a smaller game than most Switch 2 games, based off the lower pricing, but it was worth the price and more, I feel
Of course, this is coming from a person that mainly plays Salmon Run in Splatoon 3 instead of the PvP
Additional thoughts below
I actually do not play sandbox games, so this is more or less a first for me for the genre
But I hear good things about it, so definitely looking forward to it. Also, one of my favorite Pokemon is Alakazam and according to Serebii, he shows up
And yes, looking forward to Pokemon Champions too
Yeah, I know, I know. Dang, I was gone for a long time.
There just haven't been many interesting games to play, as Nintendo is saving up for the Switch 2 launch. And if Nintendo doesn't do anything, CS games are like dead fish on land. But I blame third parties for wasting years on gacha games and AAA games, also known as the genius "Spend more time to make them, but sell less" strategy
So anyways, finally beat the game. I realized that I totally would not have the time to play this once Xenoblade X comes out, so I finally got myself to play the game.
Phew, there goes one of the games I bought doing the ending of the 3DS EShop (though Pokemon Crystal wasn't discounted)
It definitely was refreshing to play an older game, but you can really feel the lack of flexibility in the movesets and all. No TM and Move-tutor-only Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt and evolution stones are not generally available until after you beat the Elite Four, so my Magneton was stuck using Thundershock for so long.
Anyways, continued after the Read More
Dang, it's already been half a year since my last post? I swear, once you reach a certain age, time just flies by...
A few more images than usual, so gonna add a jump break and put this on a separate page.
Of course, this is Pokemon, so there isn't really an "end", with all the Pokemon catching and raising and all. But I've completed the story and caught the legendaries and I've seen the substories as well, so I just wanted to give my thoughts on the game.
Honestly not too sure what type of screenshot to use, since I missed the opportunity to take a picture of the ending credits, so I'm gonna leave it imageless this time.
Been busy with real life, but finally found some time to post the games I have recently played or bought.
Currently, planning to buy Xenoblade 3, of course, but nothing else so far after it
1. Shining Resonance - Mostly because it was being sold at a discounted $14. I don't really expect it to be a great game or anything, but at least Tony Taka's designs are great
2. Master Duel - Of course, for free. Definitely would not pay money to play Yugioh anymore. Way too much power-creep and the solitaring is stupid. Currently using Waifu decks, Traptrix and Sky Strikers, BTW
3. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - Just started, of course
4. Pokemon Green - This is the JP Green, BTW. The English one is actually the JP Blue, so this JP Green is something you can't play localized. Which is why I chose this version. Up until now, the earliest game I've played is Pokemon Yellow, so I wanted to try my hands on the oldest and most buggy, unbalanced version
Finished the Chaos and the true route!
Technically, I did not do the Law route, but I can tell what will happen if I do, so I think I am good now. Pokemon Arceus coming up too!
And of course, this one!
I wanted to buy the JP version, but for some reason, the JP version costs 100$ while the localized version costs 60$. I really would prefer reading the JP text over the English one, but when there is a whopping 40$ difference... I can't ignore that. And there is at least Japanese audio.
I mean, if there was no JP idea, I definitely would have been forced to buy the JP version, so thank gosh. I still have to deal with the localized names and skills and stuff though, but sure, I'll take that and keep my 40$. Also, the steelbook thing is kinda cool.
A bit late to make this post, but got Mario Party Superstars a couple days after it was released!
Mario Party isn't exactly one of those games that I care about the language, so I just bought it from the nearest store. Although it automatically changes its in-game language if you use a JP account, so pretty much the same anyways.
I haven't actually bought Mario Party since like, 6 or 7, since they kept on adding weird gimmicks like character specific dices and riding in a car together, but this one does not do any of that, and FINALLY, it has online random matches. No more do you need to find friends or family that want to play video games with you!
From my experience so far, as long as all players can play to the end without anyone's connection dropping (because fighting against stupid AI is boring) and everyone uses stamps in good manner, it is really fun. 15 turns is surprisingly long, around an hour or a bit more average, but still great as long as everyone is having fun.
Also, it's Mario Party, so I'm not gonna bother writing a review. Good ol' Mario Party. What I said at the top is pretty much what I want to say.
Hopefully they will have a few free updates that add new maps?
Since I'm here writing stuff, I'm gonna go ahead and say this, one month+ too late.
You know, it honestly surprises me. Monolith Soft is great at making games, and helps Nintendo with stuff like Zelda. Yet Nintendo is here going, "Dude Sakurai, please advertise Fire Emblem!". Intelligent Systems can't even make their own games now. Yet Nintendo goes out of its way to help Intelligent Systems stay afloat. Just buy away the IP and disband that lump of junk.
Finally, Monolith Soft got some justice. I would have been fine with Rex, using Pyra and Mythra, but I'm even better with just solo Pyra and Mythra. The only problem is that in JP, Pyra calls Mythra "Hikari", but in the game, she goes "Hikari-chan". So yeah, Sakurai, please fix this.
This is my Pyra/Mythra Global Smash Power, BTW. The image is one month old and Global Smash Power naturally grows as time passes, so mine's is probably more now though. Great characters, fun to play.
Sorry about not posting for so long. I originally planned to buy Bravely Default 2, and that would have got me to write something about it, but I ended up kinda going "Meh" towards it, and ended up not buying it. Pyra came out for Smash and that was awesome and literally the only Smash DLC I've ever bought and I got busy playing that. And then Monster Hunter came out.
Still planning to get Rune Factory 5. Not sure about Pokemon Snap. And that's all for now, really. Huh, kinda lonely. Where is Megami Tensei 5?! Etrian Odyssey?! You give us these teasers and no follow-up.
Also hopefully, as I am still playing Monster Hunter, I will finish the last two routes of Nukitashi before the localized version comes out, so I can say a few words. Yeah, this is an R18 visual novel game, so most people reading this probably doesn't care about that type of stuff.
While Monster Hunter isn't one of those games that has an "end", I have now played over 150 hours (actually 166, it seems), so I definitely think I can say something about it.
Also, I don't really think there are any spoilers. Not that I think Monster Hunter stories really have a story that could be ruined with spoilers, outside of maybe spinoff games.
To note: I do play the smartphone game.
I have beaten all of the stories, tried all of the modes, and have completed all of the side-battles.
I've not completely, completely finished the game as in, 100%, but the only thing left is to listen to all of the short stories, so I think I can give my impressions of the game now.
Also, to explain the game, I'll be using the main image below to go over each mode.
I'm not gonna say who, but I ordered and I chose Express, but apparently that counts as Economy too, since everything got shipped through Economy, and I had to wait until today to get my items. Yeah, I will definitely think twice before I order physical products from your store next time.
Anyways, I bought several games this time. So I'm gonna use a Read More to stuff all of the images inside.
