[anonymouscomrade]

people on twitter are digging up old G4 and X-Play segments and being all "hey millenials, why did you put up with Adam Sessler being racist during a review"

my dude, nobody liked G4. it was staffed entirely by people who fucking hated videogames but whose paychecks required them to get in front of a camera and pretend they didn't. the only reason G4 existed for as long as it did was because we were like ten years out from the technology required for twitch to exist to be invented

You ever sit back and think about all the potential great jrpgs you missed out on because as a kid you saw X-Play call it shit while also being shockingly racist?

#X-Play #video games #jrpgs #games journalism #no seriously looking back on X-Play it is insane how racist some of what they said during different jrpg reviews #actually a lot of games journalists back then seemed weirdly obssesed with hating on Japanese stuff

Top 10 Video Games of All Time: bobgoesw00t Edition (Part 02)

HIHI EVERYONE!!! bobgoesw00t back again with my Number Nine video game of all time, which I’m giving to:

Yep! The middle game in this trilogy ends up getting the win for me mostly due to how perfectly balanced I find everything to be. The game does a decent job explaining all the various systems while leaving enough for you to figure out on your own, and I never had a problem with one of the biggest complaints critics had, that being Menu navigation. My only real complaint is the size of the compass at the top of the screen when your running around the gorgeous world.

The number of times I spent running around thinking I was going the correct direction to a quest location, only to realize I had either taken a wrong turn or missed a ladder or something across my first run of the game is stupidly high. If MonolithSoft had made the compass just a TAD WIDER, I don’t think I would have had that problem as much.

A smaller complaint I have is the game doesn’t do that good of a job telling you if the objective you’ve got selected is on the same level as you at times. This is once again tied into the compass being too small, because in the most recent Assassin’s Creed games, not only will the compass up top tell you if you’re going the right way, but it’ll indicate if what your looking for is above or below were Bayek/Kassandra/Eivor is standing. That’s in addition to there being an icon being put on top of the world as you run around. MonolithSoft didn’t had those two bits until the next game (along with a route indicator xD).

So other than that, this game is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time. It’s got a phenomenal story that doesn’t require you to have played Xenoblade before hand (although it does give a nice bit of additional context when Rex and friends finally get to Rakuen and yes, I’ll be using the Japanese terms and names cause I’m a bit of a JRPG purest >_<), it’s got what I think to be a perfect pace, encourages you to actively take side quests to help with the various affinity charts, the combat is a decent combination of ideas from the first game and Xenoblade X, and this game has by far THE BEST Chain Attack system across the trilogy for me.

Players who are good about having a good mix of elements with the party’s Blade setup benefit MASSIVELY from playing smarter and one of the most satisfying things for me whenever I play this game is getting an asston of Fusion Combos off to get a bunch of Elemental Orbs spawned, triggering the Chain Attack and just WRECKING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT out of annoying foes/bosses. Being able to keep a Chain Attack going for upwards of up to FIVE MINUTES sometimes and just watching the enemy HP drop while it does NOTHING is a power fantasy come true.

For comparison to the other two entries, Xenoblade Chain Attack is nice because it’s simple and it can be fired off a bit more, and Xenoblade 3 is good (mostly the music IMO) as it took the system from the second game and tweaked it a bit to make it different, but the satisfaction of keeping the attack going for insane lengths aren’t there in those versions.

As for the pacing, Xenoblade takes a bit TOO long to get going for me, while Xenoblade 3’s plot moves a tad TOO QUICKLY at various points, and the game doesn’t do as good of a job encouraging you to tackle the various side quests and/or explore the world. (Xenoblade does this a bit better IMO). Xenoblade 2 also benefits from one of the most likeable, cute, and adorable leads in a JRPG with Rex. I MEAN LOOK AT THIS CUTIE PATOOTIE!!!!!

HE’S A PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL AND I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT HIM!!! Hiro Shimono NAILS his performance of this cutie and the only other person I think that could do him just as well is Makoto Kunai. Don’t really have an opinion on Al Weaver’s take on the character as I’ve never played this game with the English voice track cause I found it CRINGE WORTHY at times and like I mentioned already, I’m a bit of a JRPG purist. If I’m playing a game from Japan and it has the option to listen to the original Japanese voice track, that’s being selected IMMEDIATELY. I personally think the quality of the English cast of games now a days depends on if it’s gonna have a dual audio option, but that’s a topic for another day. I WILL say the following however and it’s this: HOLY HELL did they miscast Nia’s English voice IMO! She sounds like a middle-aged woman WHEN SHE DOESN’T SOUND LIKE THAT IN THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION!!!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU PICK THAT VOICE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY A GIRL THAT’S IN HER LATE TEENS TO EARLY TWENTY’S!?!?!?!?!? I’m not going to elaborate more than that cause there might be people who haven’t played the game still and I don’t want to spoil anything plot related (the picture of Rex I used above doesn’t spoil the plot so I can get away with using it xD).

As for the soundtrack, it’s one of the best sounding games I’ve ever heard. The default battle music (appropriately titled “Battle!!”) is intense and epic and HOLY HELL THE ENDING TRACK MADE ME BALL MY EYES OUT!!!!! Like MOTHER FUCKER IS IT GORGEOUS and it hits you SO HARD the first time you clear the game. If you’ve played this game you know what I’m talking about and even the ending theme from the next game didn’t hit me as hard as “One Last You” did. I don’t recommend listening to it if you haven’t played this game yet as it won’t hit you in the feels like it’s suppose to without having spent HOURS AND HOURS with Rex on his journey to find Rakuen for not only Homura, but for everyone in Altrest.

Wanna take a quick moment to admit the following…Homura and Hikari are my Smash Ultimate waifus and YOU DON’T FUCK WITH THEM!!!!! GOOD GOD the amount of knock back some of Homura’s attacks have is DEADLY if you underestimate her and Hikari is STUPIDLY fast in comparison. They can fuck Steve up and it proves once again why that fucking block head shouldn’t even be a fighter in the game.

OK ONTO MY SCORE FOR XENOBLADE 2 and once again in the spirit of X-Play, I give it FIVE FUSION COMBOS OUT OF FIVE!!!!!

Honorable Mentions this time include three for soon to be obvious reasons:

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild for being the first Zelda game I truly loved from start to end, and have since run through THREE TIMES (almost done with the third run, but I’ve been running around trying to get Link’s Heart Gauge maxed out before I end Ganon again xD)

and

Xenoblade X & Xenoblade 3: Xenoblade X is SUCH A FUCKING GOOD GAME AND IT NEEDS TO BE PORTED TO THE SWITCH ALREADY!!!!! Hell, I’m INSANELY tempted to get a Wii U again just so I can play it again…and actually beat it finally seeing as how you need FOUR HEAVY ARMOR DOLLS/SKELLS FOR THE FINAL BOSS and JESUS CHRIST do you need a fuck ton of credits to get them (>_</OTL/Q_Q). Meanwhile, Xenoblade 3 is the perfect ending to the trilogy of awesome games and while it didn’t win any of the Game Awards it was up for this year, it SHOULD have gotten best score in the end.

Due to Danny's ghostly nature, he misunderstands a bit when his DOOMED buddy in Gotham complains about his little brother.

The guy is clearly just blowing off steam, talking about how can he trust the little demon when he'd literally been stabbed, thrown off a banister (danny was pretty sure he was gonna say something else), got Mufasa'd (dropped from the roof and barely managed to save himself), and talked shit like, constantly.

And Danny, with all of his ghost instincts only partially tucked away behind human skin, can't help but coo.

"Aww, he must really like you man."

"...He's tried to kill me."

"But not really? Dude, why aren't you picking up on this?"

"Picking up on what? That he wants to be an only child?"

"No, dude; that he wants to fight you. Like, in a learning way, with only a little bloodshed. Man you're bad with kids. Of course he's trying to stab you, he wants to play."

His friend pauses, the character he's playing stopping midfight.

"You...aren't human, are you?"

Fuck.
