I'm pretty sure I don't want to wake up in the world Symphony of the Night, but I just did. I'd probably be a villager trying to avoid the demon/monster horde...or what's left of it.

Finished it. Not much to say without it devolving into "What I would have wanted" or "quirks that irked only me". Frankly, I don't like doing that any more. Season 3 was announced and that's a good thing. Here's what I will say: I don't know where they could go from here. Other than "cleanup" for the Trevor era as far as lingering threats, I think they should just move on to the next era. Carmilla and Issac aren't really worth the trouble, at least to me. I didn't even notice the Curse of Darkness elements because I never played it and never had an interest in it. I just hope no one was a HUGE fan of Hector as a character...because holy shit. They made him an absolute whipping boy to say the least. Fuuuuuuuuck, I already miss Dracula. What a great character and what a send-off. Welp, see you next year for the next season. Unless they work in Netflix Voltron crunch..in which case see you in 3 months?

Well, in Order of Ecclessia, I believe there were 3 sets of armor and weapons you could switch between. This was a great feature and I do agree that it would be a nice addition.

I'm playing more Curse of the Moon. I'm trying to unlock Ultimate Mode, but alas even in games like this I'm not very good. I'll keep pressing on though. I've played a bit of Touhou Luna Nights which is an extremely well-animated Metroidvania(touhouvania??) on steam early access. So far, it's great. It feels and looks like that one Jack Frost metroidvania browser game. Even with Sakuya's limitations, she's still overpowered. That's Touhou for you. Timespinner is only ok so far. Music is ok, gameplay is ok, story is ok, and I think I'm almost halfway through it 1 hour in. It's barely worth the 15 I pre-ordered it for and it's definitely not worth the $20. I stopped Evil Within 2 for now, the performance issues I'm having are killing the enjoyment of an otherwise superior sequel in every regard.

They said that picture would be included in the high quality wallpaper pack they'll give out later. Pretty sweet.

I'd laugh HARD if that old man could fly. But really, I'd be more convinced if I saw how he moved in the full game. I'm all for more playable options. Hell, I'm still mad that Hammer wasn't playable in Dawn of Sorrow(another grievance I have with that game). A heavily expanded "Grant" character would have been amazing.
If anything, I feel like Johannes could fill in Alfred's hypothetical role(assuming they don't pull the Johan was evil all along and Alfred was just misunderstood story card) by having his magic have loads of potential while still having alright-ish offensive/defensive non-magic options. I'm not against the old man making it in as playable, but I wouldn't want to play as him.

Zangetsu, Gebel, for sure. Gebel was my go-to character in Curse of the Moon and he's the GOAT.
I don't care if Alfred or Dominique make it; I don't care much for those characters. Johannes would be kind of cool using alchemy to "install" and power up his whip attacks, but that's stuff off the top of my head.

After playing as the old man in Curse of the Moon, I'm going to say no. As fun as he COULD be, the other characters out-shined him too much. Magic and alchemy potential is not lost on me though.
I'm putting my vote for Gebel and especially Zangetsu for sure though.

I'm listening to Symphony of the Night music. I remember playing it ages ago and not caring for certain tracks, but a few like this one grew on me immensely.
Also, this might be my new favorite song on the soundtrack. By far...

From the rumors I've heard, Hilde will definitely be DLC. I've played this game at PAX West, New York Comic Con, and through the PS4 beta(briefly) and I can say with confidence that I am HORRIBLE at this game. Out of all the matches I've played, I've only won one against a Talim online. I already hate Talim, but that girl playing as her(I'm assuming woman due to her username) was not helping. I got bodied hard. That makes 1-4 since I played best of 3 against Talim. LOL I almost want to get this game, but I'm not a fan of pre-order DLC and season passes. No, I don't care if it's the "standard". If I do get it, I would get the PS4 version. PC version has Denuvo and I've had problems with Denuvo games in the past.

I still think Miriam's proportions are fine, but once I saw the change in...face or demeanor, I'm not sure which then that definitely needs a tweak.(I mostly think they're fine because she's been looking like that since the beginning in official artwork, slight alterations in scarves and clothing not withstanding)
Lighting was odd, but I am by no means an expert in lighting and how it should be done. It looks like they tried to go with some dynamic lighting and tried to make things less bright. Looks like no one liked it and I wasn't too big on it. I was never a graphics guy.

Technically, I'm playing Evil Within 2 as well as Bloodstained Curse of the Moon. However, I don't want to get into either of those.
I played DMC5 at PAX West! I was going for the S-rank splash screen for the demo. It's supposed to be insanely hard to get. "High style points, cut down on time(meaning no cutscenes), DON'T GET HIT". Well, I did two of those. Despite getting S's and even a Double S rank in fights, I got hit 3 times. Once in a normal fight and twice during the boss fight. It was...humbling, but I didn't see anyone else come close to what I did that day, so I'm proud of that. I can't wait for that game.
Kingdom Hearts 3 was Kingdom Hearts 2 with parkour from KH: DDD and and transformations from Birth by Sleep(and the auto aiming reticule). You already knew that though. What you saw in the trailers is what you get.
Soul Calibur 6 was fun, but holy hell is it different from when I played the series back in the day. It felt better to play than modern Tekken though, which is I never thought I would find myself saying.
Darksiders 3, I didn't care for. I can't say much about it, sorry.
Fist of the North Star, the Yakuza edition was fun. I wish the guy who was demoing would stop backseat gaming though, I just wanted to fight and he wanted me to do the super special moves.(I'm thinking "I'll do those when I buy the game!")
Shadow of the Tomb Raider was more of the same. Though I'm starting to find that I prefer playing the reboot series on PC. On consoles, Lara feels waaaay too loose. It felt like she didn't have any weight to her at all. I forgot the reason for this, but it might have to do with FPS from what my friend was telling me.

My heart can't take it. Devil May Cry 5, the Shenmue collection, a remaster of Onimusha, and now Streets of Rage coming back that isn't a fan made game that really can't be topped? This year has been great for game announcements. I'm impressed. I'll see what they do with this Streets of Rage. My favorite composer better come back for this, it's barely SOR without Yuzoboy.

Even though I didn't need to, I played that Backer update demo again when I attended to PAX West this year. I even met Angel from 505, he was a cool guy. Apparently Iga was at PAX as well, but I didn't have time/didn't know where he was at the time to meet him.
I think I was doing really really well that time playing. Note, I had only played the second backer demo(third demo overall) one time before then. I was styling, getting high combos, and even beat one of the secret bosses that I never could win against when I was at home. Fun times at PAX and more fun times with this game.

Playing the updated backer demo, my response to it was still very positive. There's writing now, and it's fine. Ajna is a bit goofier than I expected in terms of personality. Gameplay feels faster overall, but I've noticed that you can't hang with the axe for very long anymore. The addition of walking, pausing mid-fight, the map, and the head space were nice too. My favs were Dhar, Nuna, Bhaozai, and Zebei.(Never leave home without Zebei) I didn't try Latigo, but maybe next time.
I don't have much to say, they're meeting my expectations so far. One thing that was unexpected about the final boss of this version of the demo was that it felt like a puzzle as well and incorporated some of the Metroidvania aspects to it. I definitely want more fights like that, especially when they consider the surroundings.(Knocking enemies off a cliff, or fire monsters into water or vice versa, switches, etc.)

I'm really really REALLY late to this shindig, but I had two things that stuck out like a sore thumb. Here's my two bits: The cutscenes using the character models are a great idea. However, they could stand to use more poses. The voice acting is great, but everyone has a static pose so far. Here's my idea, think of how Shantae has different poses/portraits per emotion/line/expression or even take note of how another (now)3D game like Ace Attorney/Layton/The Crossover between the two. Shantae: Layton/Ace Attorney Crossover(No specific examples, though the whole video basically shows what I meant): Number 2: The yelling of Miriam for every single shard and the frequent grunting. Yeah, it's a bit loud and repetitive. If it can be toned down, that would be grand. Other than those, everyone covered it perfectly. I don't have much to add this time. That's what I get for being late.

I beat A Hat in Time and...Doki Doki Literature Club in the same day. I did the latter first and was proud of myself for getting the best ending. The former...the final boss was heart pumping. Especially when I equip the fireball power up. Then it becomes a "shoto battle" like Ryu vs Ken. Next up is continuing Automata. No, still no endings yet. Broke my hopes to finish before the new year. Also, first post of the year. I also played a bit of Axiom Verge too. It's a great game that is definitely worth the $10 I paid in my opinion.
