Well, a game can still be "good" without some interesting new mechanic. I think I prob care about the story the most.In post 2861, PJ. wrote:It sure helps.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

omfg I finally finished persona 5
I thought I had like 2 more months to go b/c of seeing there was avalentines day special eventfrom YouTube videos until the last dungeon kept pushing in my face how FINAL everything was
The last dungeon and the combat is general was pretty damn good, it felt like there was such a lull in interesting bullshit happening from aroundharusdungeon til near the end, and the ending was standard persona-esque drama but still pretty good, esp. with the buildup to fighting the final boss.

Yeah so P5 was fantastic, one of my all-time faves
but good god. the stretch of game fromShido's palacethroughthe final fightfelt like it dragged on FOREVER. so many false endings. i also hatedokumura's palacebecause it was so damn long and boring.
but ther est of the game is so fucking good that i dont know how i can fault the game for wiffing on a couple of dungeons. the first 3 were strong, the casino was strong, and the sidequests/social shit was on point.green shirt thursdays- Parama

yeah didn't like the 7th dungeon much either, felt like it went way too long, was too repetitive, had bad gimmicks, just generally not that fun but the 5th dugneon was still worse. ughShowEver wanted a playlist full of a lot of music I really dig? Here you go.

I got to play Cuphead, Viva Pinata, and Don't Starve today on a friend's system. Cuphead is hard but doable for me, though I never found a good control setup. Viva Pinata was blad imo. Don't Starve was fun, I didn't get to play through much but I learned a bit.<Embrace The Void>

So I just played through Doki Doki Literature Club.
It's a dating sim/visual novel. It's free on Steam. It's not too long of a game. I recommend going in blind - don't read the Steam reviews, or anything but the About section, really.
And for those of you that tuned out my post after I said "dating sim/visual novel", no, seriously, go play it anyway.
This game won't be getting out of my head for a while.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

I haveoneminor complaint with it, but other than that single thing, I thought it was great. And I also kinda knew what I was getting into, without any specifics.
Then again I literally just finished it 20 minutes ago soIf you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

I've been playing SMO since I got it for Christmas. Really solid game, but I'm baffled by how lazily one of the post-game worlds was done. Almost everything in there is made artificially difficult by reusing stuff in ways they weren't supposed to, which just doesn't belong in a high quality Nintendo game. Special mention goes to the low-gravity boss rush and that one stage where you fight piranha plants without Cappy."Dammit Felissan, making someone lose the game is NOT NICE"- DeathRowKitty 2016

Well, it is post-game content, technically. I definitely appreciate them trying things, even if they may not always have worked.In post 2892, Felissan wrote:I've been playing SMO since I got it for Christmas.

That's also my least favorite world, but I wouldn't call it "lazy" as much as "playing at the edges of the game", which doesn't always work.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
