  • I say this as someone who doesn’t like MTX, but I’ve never understood how optional cosmetics ever factor into whether a game is “complete”. The only way they could be seen as an important part of the game is if you play games to play dressup. Which I get if you’re playing a fashion designer style game or a game thats almost purely social, but in the majority of games they don’t fucking matter at all. How do people get so bent out of shape about them?












  • I was a huge Sonic kid, only had a ps2 during 6th gen so my introduction was Sonic Heroes. When I got a Wii I went back and played the Adventure games. I have mixed feelings on them as an adult, I like pretty much every entry during 6th & 7th gen besides Shadow & 06 since I adored them so much as a kid but I can very easily see the cracks in them now and honestly I don’t think I would care for any of them besides Colors & Generations if I didn’t grow up with them.

    Some games I loved as a kid that 100% hold up as an adult for me however would be Ape Escape 2 & 3, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Super Monkey Ball DX, Aqua Aqua, Klonoa 2 & Wii remake, Pac-Man World 2, ExciteBots Trick Racing, and my favorite game of all time which got me into JRPGs Xenoblade 1.








  • If it has to be a specific moment/level/fight/etc, off the top of my head I’d love to fight the final boss in Final Fantasy 13 fresh again. Its such a cool test of everything you’ve learned about the combat and a great example of how a JRPG boss can be vulnerable to ailments and debuffs while still putting up plenty of fight. There are definitely better boss fights in gaming but this was one of the most fun to learn how to do in the moment and it also loses a good bit of what makes it fun when you know whats coming.
    If I’m allowed to pick a game in general, absolutely Xenoblade 1 as its my favorite game of all time. Amazing combat both in terms of system mechanics and party member variety, really fun to explore enviroments that are never annoying to fight in, and near perfect side content both in terms of amount and structure. Its replay value is insane as I’ve replayed it 4 times (2 on Wii, 2 on Switch) but I’d love to experience it for the first time again.
