Peak bioware i hope they do but i dont think they could ever surpass this one
Pros:
-carries a lot from the previous games this pro will be present in this whole trilogy-Improved on the gameplay
-every single companion is interesting and cool looking
-you can be a major **** if you want-the game doesnt hold back and will kill a lot of your loved ones if you make the wrong choices (rare to find games that have the balls to do this these days)
-Good overall plot the best one and some are really thought provoking
Cons:-Combat even though improved still feels a tad clunky compares to more modern games
For me personally The Greatest Game of All Time
Pros:
-I feel this is the best cast of characters in a game nothing else comes close and ive played a lot of games
-the story has a different tone compared to the depressing one in 3 this one is more cheery and filled with moments of friendship between the characters
-the dialogue and moments for the characters feels so dynamic you will notice it if you played P5 previously.. In that game the characters only becomes close to the main character.. To each other not so much.. But in this game it all feels genuine and so natural like your average friend group in high school/middle school well beside the murder mystery and fighting a god
-Atlus are known these days for their distinct artstyle even though this is an old game it still shows-Banger soundtracks (listening to some of the tracks at night still makes me weep a bit) -A great memorable villain and if you didnt get spoiled it could surprise you.. It is a murder mystery after all
-i will repeat the pro before.. THE CAST OF CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD once you finish it you will look back on them like you would your own friend group
Cons:
-exploring is a bit clunky it is an old game after all Thats it, genuinely one of the few games that could change your whole perspective on life
Negatives outweights the positives... when online is one of the worst aspects of your fighting game..then you're in trouble
Pros:
-Great looking game maybe the best MK has ever looked
-Good amount of playable characters
-I like the new Kameo system gives you a lot of way to express your characters for example like a Scorpion with a Cyrax kameo can play entirely different than Scorpion with a Motaro kameo
-one of the best MK story mode setting up this new universe well for future entries
-decent customization and you can unlock a lot just by playing for free
Cons:
-Lack of quality of life features from day one,cant play training mode while queing up in the 2020s .. REALLY? and the lack of a lobby matches to play with multiple friends
-Not fun grindy side content but they do give good cosmetics but theyre just mind numbingly unfun
-One of the most unbalanced FGs i played and one of the slowest to play and even to watch, when im grinding ranked my head just keeps telling me to play Tekken 8 instead
-servers felt horrible for me the game feels like it doesnt show the connection bar accurately..sometimes green connections plays like a powerpoint presentation
-the story is overall good but the ending direction is meh and i feel is a tad too short
-questionable customization for certain **** can change Nitara's whole wings but you can only change the little circle bit on Geras's chest etc
A great game and one of the best fighting games but plagued by questionable decisions
Pros:
-Really polished game the controls feels clean the menus looks nice and overall complete game features wise
-adding in Modern controls to Street Fighter is an innovative way to welcome newcomers, but i understand the diehard SF Fans might put this in the negatives but alongside the balancing around these controls (less damage and locking our certain moves) i feel its fair
-Personally my favorite artstyle of any current FG, not afraid to overexaggerate things like Chun Li's legs and Zangief's muscles but also not making them look weird at all beside each other,the expressions of each characters are top notch as well
-will be the biggest plus for many FG fans is that i find the server to be really good and also have one of the best training modes
Cons:
-World tour and the whole avatar thing theyre going with....i dontsee their vision on this at all, the mode is so mindnumbingly grindy but you have to play them to unlock alternate costumes for free
-Customizations just doesnt hold up compared to it's main competitors like Tekken 8,Mortal Kombat 1, and they doesnt help themselves by only introducing collab outfits exclusively for avatars? what even is the vision here... they hype up these collabs like SpyxFamily even adding a trailer with Chun Li fighting against Yor but Chun doesnt get a Yor **** can only use it with your ugly avatars in a boring mode same with TeenageMutant Ninja Turtles collabs and probably many more in the future these things makes me wish Avatars just doesnt exist
-Questionable monetary decisions... making it that you have to overpay to unlock skins not giving you the choice to buy the exact coins needed
-Small roster compared to others
An innovative take on the Fire Emblem formula but i wish theyve done a little bit more
Pros:
-One of the most addicting gameplay loops ive seen in a while,it consists of mostly recruiting party members (around 63ish all with their own story and voice acting) while also moving towards your ultimate goal of rebelling against the evil tyrant
-Artstyle looks beautiful helps you enjoy the open world even more
-Improving bonds with your companion feels rewarding and addicting as well could add this one to the first pro
-quite complex battle system but not too hard as **** just right i feel
-so many classes in this game it helps to reduce the staleness you will feel after 20 ish hours because the game is really long
-you can make choices that gives you different endings for each quest but most is just the generic "kill or spare" type of thing
Cons:
-I feel like most companions doesnt interact much with each other,granted the amount of them is ludicrous but i was expecting more like in Fire Emblem they could even get married with each other i feel they can do more with this aspect of the game
-not enough voice acting, most companions you wont hear voice acted dialogues ever again after you recruited them..wish theres some voice acting during the bonding moments
-gameplay can get repetitive if you dont want to experiment with the classes and such
-generic story and i guess it comes with the amount of companions that most of them also have generic backstories but i think its fine if you enjoy classic anime tropes
great game and a great beginning for the trilogy
Pros:
-Innovative boss fights every one different than each other my favorite is Killer Croc's
-Game is filled with mysteries that you could solve as the greatest detective of them all
-Satisfying combat with the right amount of difficulty
Cons:
-Small open world but this is their first try so cant really fault them that much
-Weak final boss
-barebones skill progression
The peak of the legendary trilogy
Pros:
-Gameplay is insanely satisfying combined with the masterful sound effects
-The inmates feels so alive with their dialogues..bantering with each other,gossping and when theyre afraid
-the story has a really good twist in the end that requires a keen eye to notice beforehand
-the amount of gadgets and the masterful stealth sections really makes you feel like Batman -the cast of villains here are so much and they nailed every single one,Mr Freeze's boss fight especially i love
Cons:
-No civillians making the city a bit empty at times but its not that big of a deal
A ubisoft game formula with a great story
Pros:
-Great story overall with memorable moments
-the best samurai gameplay around so satisfying and innovative with how the game works for example your way point indicator is the wind which i found really cool
-gorgeous game and has great optimization
Cons:
-Repetitive the gameplay loop is like a basic ubisoft game... open world with places to "conquer" and most of the world is empty
-only 1 choice in the game that actually mattered
-in the beginning the pacing was really slow
One of the weakest RPGs dont know how they dont realize the massive flaw in it's concept
Pros:
-Best gameplay out of every Bethesda game so fast paced it could be a Call of Duty game
-unexpectedly really good ship creation
-It doesnt lie about giving you thousands of planets to **** i will discuss this more in the Cons section
Cons:
-Boring plot which no joke is literally Skyrim in space in a bad way its a copy paste
-Same as Skyrim again WEAK companions so uninteresting
-Biggest flaw stems from the concept of you can explore thousands of planets as expected 95% of the planets are barren with nothing in it moving through the galaxy to reach your objective is just loading screen after loading screen because of how empty everything is
-A space RPG with not a single intelligent alien life form only humans and nothing else
Timeless game and probably is Bethesda's best
Pros:
-Build variety and how open the game is this game has infinite replayability helped as well by the number 1 modding community in all of gaming
-aged better than you think the game is so full of charm and iconic moments replaying this over and over no matter the years will give you a smile on your face
-The side stories are so good you might have a hard time differentiating the main one and the side ones
Cons:
-Weak companions and romance options you can get married and adopt kids with them but they barely say anything,companions in battle are just storage carriers
-Main story is weak overall the game is carried by the side stories
-modding is so addicting it could ruin your game/save file if you are not careful
Charming and satisfying beat em up with a gritting story as well
Pros:
-Kiryu is one of the best protagonists in gaming and this is his origins story -Majima side of things gets even better than Kiryu's in my opinion and at some points could get you to cry
-satisfying combat the three stances they get here is one of the most fun out there each stance plays a lot differently and have different uses
-good graphics
-in classic Yakuza fashion even though the main plot is gritty and serious the side mission is so over the top goofy at times best way to describe it is this game is Jojo's Bizzare Adventure of gaming
Cons:
-the main story is so good and gritty that i feel discouraged a bit on doing the goofy side quests
they took a huge risk changing the genre as well as the iconic protagonist but for me they did it with flying colors
Pros:
-Unique and fun combat the turn based aspect allows them to go wild with their imaginations..nuclear bombs,dragons and a lot of goofy stuff along with it
-Great cast that develops a lot because of Ichiban
-Ichiban is a great protagonist that could get overly cheesy at points but still enjoyable
Cons:
-towards the end you will reach a heavy wall which requires you to grind a lot before trying the boss again
insane amount of content but doesnt reach the heights of 7
Pros:
-Good story and the inclusion of Kiryu here is really nice both Ichiban and Kiryu doesnt take the spotlights of each other and just fits really nice
-Gameplay is really fun and satisfying you are given a lot of unique classes to try
-beautiful game and optimized really well
-Unique and over the top bosses
-Seeing most characters from the previous games are really satisfying
Cons:
-as like most RPGs you will reach a point where you have to grind some could put this as a pro not for me though
-the game introduces personalities for Ichiban makes you think you can do a lot of choices but the choices are shallow and fake
-first 6 chapters was really slow where not much was happening but when it picks up it REALLY picks up became fun after
SO much content that it would be normal to think this is 3 games in one
Pros:
-In the beginning you will join one out of 3 houses each has different plot and cast of characters so yes you could treat this as a 3 game in 1 deal its so good
-Gameplay is a chesslike tactical turn based game where each unit has a specific move patterns and such, easy to learn hard to master i personally love it
-look at the first pro and how about if i tell you EVERY SINGLE character is unique and has distinct personalities most you could romance as well if you like
-for me the story is unpredictable and really good
-i play on english dub and the voice acting delivers
Cons:
-gameplay cycle can be a bit repetitive towards the end
-my waifu became a racist near the end?? could become a plus if you're into that im just bewildered at it
Great at the beginning but gets tedious fast
Pros:
-A LOT of characters that you can recruit
-I always love fire emblem's classic relationship system where you could ship each characters not just with you the main character but with each other as well seeing them have kids,getting in all sorts of scenarios and dialogues really heartwarming
-gameplay is okay until it reaches a point where you get Ryoma...that brother is playing a dynasty warriors game where every foe you meet is a minion, no weaknesses in his game and trivializes every single boss
-Generic and cheesy story unremarkable
Reaches a point where its no longer subjective this game is objectively one of the best and most ambitious games that have ever come out EVER
Pros:
-The story is really good and the game is structured in such a way where you can do anything your brain can think of and the story will goes on smooth as butter for example you can just ignore your companions and the game will goes on without a care or you can kill an important character before the story tells you to..well the story will goes on as normal,i dont know how they does it never seen anything like this before
-Great cast of characters Astarion,Lae zel and Shadowheart are my favorites because those 3 developed so much in my playthrough that they became unrecognizable compared to the beginning of the game and its all because of me and my choices
-the game lets you do ANYTHING you can think of gameplay wise as well... dont have a weapon? you can throw a rock or furniture if you see **** about dropping water to the ground so if you're lucky one of the final boss in game can just slips giving you an advantage( Happened to me)
-Visually looks amazing
-Insane voice acting performances, in most CRPGs the amount of text you have to read could be daunting but fear not in Baldur's Gate 3 every text,person and even your character's thoughts are voice acted spectacularly
Cons:
None
My favorite fighting game
Pros:
-Characters are distinct and plays differently to each other
-compared to other fighting games really good customization
-a really fun story mode gameplay wise
-getting better in ranked is so satisfying reached blue ranks with 9 characters so far and 29 characters to purple rank highest ive gotten is Kishin at the time of this review and overall its enjoyable
-greatest replay system in all of fighting game allowing you to take control of the replay itself helping you learn
-great training mode
-graphics are so so good
Cons:
-plot wise is a bit weak too focused on Jin and even then bit weird how everyone just forgives his genocidal actions
-compared to other FGs strong customization yes.. But compared to previous Tekken games the options pales in comparison
-Shaheen why is he invited
Did not enjoy this one
Pros:
-Graphics holds up to this day
-smooth animations and sound effects here
-nice ending and good amount of side content
Cons:
-Waste too much time forcing me to be inside a batmobile, i bought the game to play as Batman but the game doesnt let me to do things Batman is known to do.. Most of the time im stuck in that tank you want to face off against cool villains like Deathstroke, Mr Freeze and Arkham Knight? Nah you cant as Batman.. Only Batmobile sections
-Weak story but do have a nice ending
-the cover villain is really weak Arkham Knight is basically a henchmen and doesnt help that most of the game you only fight him in that damn tank
Great game but i feel never reached the heights of P4 storywise and P5 gameplay wise Pros:
-Atlus back at it again with the gorgeous artstyle-soundtracks per usual by Atlus
-I feel the overall theme of the story is grief and they handle it really well.. If you ever lost a loved one before im sure most of us have you WILL cry
-Good cast of characters but weak social links i feel compared to 4 and 5-Unexpected ending for me atleast
-the characters here i feel developed the most compared to the other Persona games
Cons:
-same as the original one the tower is so repetitive no theme like 4 and 5 and the enemies are repetitive some only differ in colors
-Will elaborate on the weak social links here..Unlike 4 and 5 many of the companions doesnt get a social link and instead is given to other NPCs.. Some is just really bland i wish i could just spend that time getting to know my party members
-weak villain not really memorable and have a weak ideology if you think about it
Even though this is the fifth game.. This is the best entry point to the series i feel
Pros:
-Good cast of characters who develops a lot with the main character
-the story gets dark at times venturing on about topics that some might unfortunately relate deeply with
-the artstyle here is still the best in the franchise even after Reload
-best soundtracks and they became so iconic in the gaming community you will hear them anywhere
-fantastic enemy variety and maps way better than the previous games
Cons:
-probably can only be noticed after you played the previous ones but the companions dont really interact that much with each other.. Only with you.. Ann and Makoto doesnt have a lot of moments same with Ryuji and Yosuke and it goes on.. They seem more like co workerd rather than close friends
-pacing feels too slow at times Thats it, not much cons but the first con is quite major for me
For me personally The Greatest Game of All Time
Pros:
-I feel this is the best cast of characters in a game nothing else comes close and ive played a lot of games
-the story has a different tone compared to the depressing one in 3 this one is more cheery and filled with moments of friendship between the characters
-the dialogue and moments for the characters feels so dynamic you will notice it if you played P5 previously.. In that game the characters only becomes close to the main character.. To each other not so much.. But in this game it all feels genuine and so natural like your average friend group in high school/middle school well beside the murder mystery and fighting a god
-Atlus are known these days for their distinct artstyle even though this is an old game it still shows
-Banger soundtracks (listening to some of the tracks at night still makes me weep a bit) -A great memorable villain and if you didnt get spoiled it could surprise you.. It is a murder mystery after all
-i will repeat the pro before.. THE CAST OF CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD once you finish it you will look back on them like you would your own friend group
Cons:
-exploring is a bit clunky it is an old game after all Thats it, genuinely one of the few games that could change your whole perspective on life
As a game probably reduce this to an 8 but for a Dragon Ball fan? This is THE DB game surpassing every single one i feel
Pros :
-Looks gorgeous
-gameplay same as the old ones have depth to it unlike most anime games
-The what ifs present in the game really surprise you and makes you ponder a bit
-Large roster the most out of every DB Game
-Custom battles.. Essentially a mario level maker mode that lets player go wild with the stories its so innovative and in theory could give you unlimited content
-the dialogue between characters are so plentiful and the little details are so much if youre a fan of the anime you will notice and appreciate it
-encyclopedia mode where the girls gossip about each character are so fun to listen to
Cons:
-Character customization is a bummer here.. Less skins than ive hoped.. No badman vegeta, cant use the outfits between characters like you cant put on Yardrat outfit Goku on Super Goku etc
-the gameplay does have depth.. Does have a learning curve but characters isnt created equal its a decision from the devs that i dont agree with, at high ranks if your favorite character is like Vegeta (yes even Blue or God Vegeta) ,Cooler, Cell etc you have to work ten times harder to beat the top tiers like Z broly
-they couldve done more with the animations of story mode.. Yes i know its the same style as BT3 but that game is 17 years ago should improve on that i feel
Sadly.. One of my favorites series doesnt really end on a bang..Pros:
-gameplay is improved and is fluid comparable to modern games
-companions that you have met in the previous games will be here and you will decide the fates of them.. Some endings will make you cry :(
-beautiful looking game
Cons:
-the ending. -the pacing is off at times when the tension is really high and the stakes keeps getting higher and higher the game dropped pace and went to a slice of life partying missions while it is nice but just jarring in my opinion
-they couldve added way more companions from the previous games that actually joined the party.. Some of them are removed for weird reasons that i feel dont make sense, the roster in 2 is way better
The game aged better than i remembered.. Really cool to see the framework that they perfected in the sequel
Pros:
-good overall plot many of your choices matter and changes a lot of things and will carry over to the sequel
-companions are good and loveable
-could be part of the first pro but the moral dillemas.. The deaths really hits man..
Cons:
-SUPER clunky if you compare it to modern games
-not much choice of romance options -Garrus and Tali doesnt really get much here they become the best companions in the whole trilogy in the next games though
Peak bioware i hope they do but i dont think they could ever surpass this one
Pros:
-carries a lot from the previous games this pro will be present in this whole trilogy
-Improved on the gameplay
-every single companion is interesting and cool looking
-you can be a major **** if you want
-the game doesnt hold back and will kill a lot of your loved ones if you make the wrong choices (rare to find games that have the balls to do this these days)
-Good overall plot the best one and some are really thought provoking Cons:
-Combat even though improved still feels a tad clunky compares to more modern games
After playing the previous games this really feels like a soft reboot which is done poorly storywise
Pros:
-Gameplay is addicting and satisfying you will enjoy if you like God of War's style of action
-Depth of each companions feelsgood.. I only find Taash to be a bit cringy and childish but the rest really nice even though they dont look mindblowing their storiesand personality are good but none of them really compares to the previous companions
-Looks beautiful all around facial expressions and environments especially
-Even though less tactically demanding the spectacle of the battle really sends a shiver down your spine at times,especially the finale which resembles Mass Effect 2's finale but in my opinion Veilguard does the finale even better big props
Cons:
-Writing will make your eye roll a couple of times, a lot of MCU Humor they like to call it
-was having performance issues but found a mod that fixed it
-I know Bioware games never really lets you be evil but in this one theres not even a "renegade" Option for you to be a ****.. You're forced to be a goody two shoes which can be a major flaw for many RPG enjoyers especially after finishing BG3
-not enough skills that could make you experiment builds and such..everything feels samey
-The tone is **** friendship power will fix everything! sort of stuff which feels out of touch with Dragon Age as a franchise, this franchise used to be mature dealing with topics that most games wont dare to touch for example a lot of religious beliefs whether believing in the "Maker" or not, racism that is felt by the elves, The dynamic of the mages and the templars all of it gets ignored everyone is friends now yay
