Yet another top notch Persona game.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Once again they have outdone themselves with this game. THis is yet another Persona game that is oozing style and fun. Every part of this is just top notch. The story, the sound track, the stylistic graphics, the cut scenes, and "most" of the voice work outside of a few odd pronunciations I highly recommend this.

Good Game, Missing Heart of the First
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: Halaster
from Clovis, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The game is very well done and the new systems are fun, but I find this story to be missing the heart and feeling of the first game. There is just something that is missing. Without the creature capturing and evolving being an integral part of the new game it also ends up having a decided lack of monster variety in comparison to the first one.
The biggest let down in this is the bonuses that came with the premium version of the game, which pale vastly compared to the premium version of the first game. The first game gave you a fantastically done physical copy of the Wizards Companion that was in full color and matched exactly what was in the game. It was absolutely phenomenal. Where as this one dumped the top quality bonuses and went with super generic JRPG premium junk, for a super premium price.

Best to Date

This is the best monster hunter game to date.
Yes it is slightly easier than the previous entries, but the quality of life improvements as well as just the magnificence of the world and how everything comes together easily make up for it.
The number of monsters is far less earlier Ultimate releases, but this is an "Entry" title. It will be used as the foundation to continue to grow and I expect another major entry that is far more expansive with far more monsters to appear after this one now that it has seen so much success.
Can not wait for the future of the series.

Eh. Fun but not great.

Verified Purchase:Yes
So my review is only average because while playing this by the time I had reached the end I found that I really did not care at all about the story or what was going on in the slightest. The entire story was just not engrossing at all. Every time, of the very few times, the main villain was shown I had zero interest at all in what he was saying and was just waiting for him to shut up his stupid monologues.
The actual gameplay is still very well done and very fun, with the class variety being a blast. The public events are well done and offer a good variety of challenge, especially with the heroic modes that can be triggered by doing certain conditions.
Now on to the actual public events. The dialog for them is an absolute nightmare. The game is built around the idea that players are going to be doing the same events OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, yet they all have a single dialog chain that occurs when they trigger, so you get to hear the exact same words to the point of insanity. Each event should have 30, 40, or heck 100 different possible dialog chains that can occur so you do not feel like you are hearing the same thing so many times that it drives you crazy.
When I played the drop rate of items and character growth was at a reasonable pace. Not too fast, and not too slow, with a good amount of rare items appearing.
For the would I recommend this to a friend. This fits very much into the... maybe category. For my friends that love grinding and loot hunting ad infinitum I would recommend it. For the rest I would definitely not recommend it.

Best Mario Game in 15 Years
on January 19, 2018
Posted by: Halaster
from Clovis, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is absolutely fantastic. Everything about it is a joy. The worlds are expansive and varied, the sound track is spot on, and the amount of content is excessive. There is a crazy amount of power moons to collect while playing through the game, and the number doubles once you hit post game and further content is unlocked.
The hat mechanism in the game is easy to pick up but also hard to master allowing for a lot of individual player skill growth until the player is able to pull off things that you would not even think possible when you first start playing.
There are hidden things all over the stages, and the variety of gameplay presented with the possession mechanism is awesome.
Highly recommend this game.

Wow, this game is a blast. Nintendo did everything right with this. The world feels absolutely wonderful and the abilities you have in the game give you a lot of different flexibility on how you approach everything.
I highly recommend this game.
I really hope some of the things from this game make it into other open world experiences. Chopping down trees to cross cliffs, gliding on the wind, climbing mountains. Fantastic.

It is Fifth Element

I am not going to give a detailed review for Fifth Element as the movie has been around for so many years now and there are a million other reviews about it beyond saying it is a fantastic movie. The Steelbook is really good quality and the visuals on it look really nice.

After discovering an ancient mystery, Lara Croft must travel through Siberia in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Outstanding action, beautiful environments, guerrilla warfare and incredible tombs are all yours for the taking in this third person adventure. Outthink the Trinity and hone your survival skills in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Uncrofted
on February 22, 2017
Posted by: Halaster
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game was very well done but like the game before it, I do not really consider this a Tomb Raider game. This is fully an Uncharted type game with a Laura Croft skin on it. Compared to the first Tomb Raider reboot though this one did add significantly more tomb raiding and exploring. Even with that though it never truly feels like any of the older Tomb Raider games. It is once again you versus an army of soldiers/mercenaries with a mild hint of mythical going on in the back ground.
If you like the Uncharted games style of play than you might want to look into this game. The story is not super deep but it is done well enough and has amazing production values and visuals.

Excellent

If you like Bloodborne and the various Souls games there is a very good chance you will also like this. There are many elements that are almost exact, but also a good amount that switch things up quite a bit. The combat is more varied with the different stances and each weapon type is fairly unique. The loot system is vastly different with a more borderlands style random loot drop. You will constantly have hundreds of items to sort through.
The soundtrack is great and most of the boss fights are enjoyable. The mechanic to fight the AI version of other people who died to get their items is also decently well done. The story its super generic with not much to write home about.
