Captain L 1,648 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Finished all four volumes of .hack//G.U. It's pretty fun to play, and even though it's four games, it is mostly meant to be one story, so it's not incredibly long (50 hours in total), and the PS4 collection is pretty cheap, so I recommend it. It starts off a little rough, the first volume is paced a bit slow, the entire game is the first act of a story so it hasn't gotten into the swing of things, and characters haven't gone through their development yet (so Haseo is a jerk, Atoli is an airhead). But once the going gets good in Vol. 2, it gets really good. There's still overarching problems with limited scenery, cumbersome item and equipment management, the amount of story details that are revealed in supplementary material, and I've got my issues with how the story treats Ovan and Shino, but the core cast carries it very well. Yuri Lowenthal is my favorite voice actor because of Gurren Lagann, but I honestly think there's a few moments in Vol. 3 where he exceeds even that. And the rest of the primary cast is good too. I mentioned this before, but I feel so bad for ragging on Atoli during Vol. 1, in light of revelations towards the end of Vol. 2. And I've also mentioned before that I'm totally into Alkaid. Don't go looking for porn of her, though. I have no idea if it's just one guy doing it because I'm not paying attention, but so much of her art is, for no reason, futa. Go look at the comments of any upload of this picture, it's great. It's filled with people arguing who everyone in the picture is. Tabby, Atoli, Saku, Alkaid, and Pi are easy enough, but the rest are subject to...interpretation. I say the gray-haired girl in the middle is Shino, because it's the same hair style as Atoli, but her hair color isn't exactly consistent, so it's up for debate. I've seen a few claims it's Kaede, but Kaede's hair is definitely more brown. And the purple-haired one in the back, I'm decently sure is supposed to be BlackRose, but it's not an exact match, and if it is supposed to be her, why? Everyone else is a G.U. character, but she's classic .hack, aside from one accidental email in Vol. 1 and an apparent intent to be included. EDIT: Because this subject matter fascinates me, I did some research into what changes the Last Recode collection made over the PS2 originals, and...if you're considering the games, get Last Recode. From what I've gathered, the PS2 versions had drastically lower inventory caps, were much more imbalanced, and didn't level up non-active party members (which means a certain character who becomes inactive halfway through Vol. 2, only to return at the end of Vol. 3 would be 40 levels behind everyone else).

Captain L 1,648 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Kay actually wears shorts underneath her skirt, but I imagine that was a later addition, after this little overlooked threat. And, by the looks of it, it's a double problem, because underwear is looking pretty unlikely from that shot. Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Been playing Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. There's way too much loot and drops, so my inventory is always filled with a bunch of guns, accessories that don't make much difference, and a bunch of unappraised items I'm not dealing with because my two guns are fine (yet I still have no other outfits beyond the starting ones and I can't buy more), but the gunplay is pretty satisfying, even if bosses also take a lot to take down. It's in the current Humble Bundle at the $15 tier, so I wouldn't dissuade you from picking it up there. And if I can beat it, I will have beaten every game I own on the PS4, one of my big goals.

Captain L 1,648 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I recognize that the vast majority of my Kill la Kill-posting to now has been Ryuko-centric (because she is factually the best), so I'll offer a little variety this time. Little piece of trivia for all the newcomers: A Mako Mankanshoku story is actually the only story I've ever cancelled. Got about a page in and finally decided that I just could not capture her essence. Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 It has taken years, but One Punch Man's second season has begun. It's gonna be hard to look for real opinions not surrounded by the different studio, but I've got hope that it will at least be entertaining to watch because ONE is really good at writing. Truthfully, the different animation didn't bother me, I think it looks fine. I can believe it won't match the first season's quality, but I'll be satisfied regardless. Honestly, what worries me more is that Mob Psycho 100's second season literally just ended, which was incredibly good and I'd probably rank Mob as better now, so this will seem like a downgrade. Anyway, looks like Fubuki is going to be getting a lot of attention this season, but I will stand by the lost child, Tatsumaki. Link to comment
