Finished Metroid Prime 4
Honestly my hope was this would smooth down the edges I felt with the Prime games with smart QoL decisions and expanded its weaker areas. Instead it doubled down on the faults, and brought very little original to the table worthwhile. Not terrible, but not often very fun.

Finishing off Umetsu stuff I watched A Kite which made me realized I'd already watched the whole thing in high school
And now post-Virgin Punk it feels like Virgin Punk was a way for Umetsu to remake A Kite without being pretentious.

In the 100's of hours I've regrettably spent playing gacha games I don't think I've ever completed a full roster of characters, but in 6 weeks I've caught up on Fire Emblem Shadows roster
It still has some live service issues but tbh, I fw this game and may leave it a positive review on Google Play

Metroid Prime 4 is one point away from being in the Golden Zone

Well potential AI backgrounds aside, I did get through H9
At least, I think I did, I saw the ending but I wasn't able to get the password at the end before losing my save when trying to restart. I may be missing an ending, but eh. It's neat, a playable creepypasta about game dev exploitation.

Playing H9 and the translation seems decent so I'm hopeful it's not an AI MTL but this background might be AI?

Mario Kart World pads out its barren open world to the bare minimum. DK Bananza was a lot of fun but like Odyssey the game wouldn't be worse if it cut like 30% of its collectibles, similarly PLZA could've cut like 30% of its sidequests. And the game that got me to make this post...

Also beat the singleplayer content for Kirby Air Riders today,
I hope to stick around and play more multiplayer, the game is crazy and weird and varied and I like it. Hope they do some updates for it to give me reasons to come back but it'll be a staple local multiplayer game for me now.

I beat Diablo 2, which feels funny to say
For the first time in the 25 years I've been playing it, I got a self-geared solo character through Hell difficulty. I think this knocked my nostalgia out for this game. It's good, but I feel now that I recognize it as more addictive than a masterpiece.

Finished Ninja Gaiden 4
I'm glad despite losing senior staff that Platinum is still able to put together satisfying combat and altogether it was good, but boy was the pacing off. A couple really sour sections and teasing but not delivering an Ayane boss fight to fight a fish is a fuckin' waste.

Y'know it's fine. But I guess as part of the game's attempt to pander to and hook Fire Emblem fans, all the cameo characters support conversations so far are.
"Hi, I'm from Fire Emblem. Do you want to fuck me? Do you want to have sex?"

So the support conversations so far in FE Shadows are super brief, but the level 5 one is where we get our first characterization for the original cast. Carina is easily riled up, Alberta puts on a stone-face but has a lot of internal fear, obviously Kurt is singleminded about restoring the kingdom.

I feel like I haven't played any JRPG's this year because despite probably having played like 300 hours of JRPG's I haven't finished any JRPG's

Finished Dispatch
Though I may be tempted into a second playthrough since I'd wager there are two major story paths. Seems like I went with the less popular one but I'm not really disappointed in it. Definitely as gripping as Telltale's best, not perfect writing but excellent at its job.

And now I just saw Virgin Punk
Part 1 i guess
I mean that sure was 40 minutes of trashy ass sakuga from Shaft and Umetsu. Tasteless, but kinda good hook for a suspense-action film. We were all disappointed that we'd have to see a 2nd movie for the cheap catharsis of decapitating the pedo villain.

I watched Mezzo as a warm-up to seeing Virgin Punk this week
Feel like I'd already seen the highlights with how many times the action scenes have been giffed and the hentai scenes uploaded to porn sites. But the detail that washes down the tastelessness is the infectious dumb attitudes of the leads

Also finally finished Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest
The artstyle softening up reminds me of other ecchi series doing similar moving further out of the 2000's like To Love Ru and Queen's Blade, mixed results here. Mashima had some decent battle plots he was sitting on, but feels safe at the same time.

Finished Fate/Apocrypha
A fun and janky mess, constantly dodgy dialogue and execution on the characters ranged from "this is the dumbest shit ever" to "that's pretty sick actually". It is carried by that ensemble cast with wild ideas and, no shit, Astolfo is far and away the most likable character.

Halloween watch was The Dead Don't Die
This movie really was good at wasting your time making you wonder where it was going, only to go nowhere. Too little empathy to be consistently funny but was always trying. Tilda Swinton's weird scottish samurai was the best joke, and they ruin that in the end

Not putting this on the media thread quite yet but I caught up on Fire Emblem Shadows' current content. Its decent as a mobile title and borderline ethical with its monetization (which may account for its low profits so far), but it almost feels like a mobile game release into early access.
