Verified Purchase:Yes
Perhaps too many games are moving towards the open world trend. The story campaign is not as tight but gameplay of course excels.

Great gift for lovers of the original trilogy and the cover art shows my favorite of the three games (ME2). Although, I would prefer the favorites of all the squads and definitely minus Zaeed.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Played the original trilogy on PC when they first came out and it is my second overall favorite sci-fi game series. I had tons of nostalgia replaying these and hope that Bioware fixes its act and gets back to making awesome games.

More Buttons, More Power
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
Save money from buying a "new" pro controller with these extra buttons. The positioning is perfect for where the hands rest and the buttons feel clicky as expected of a first-party peripheral. Great for games that have rely on the more uncomfortable buttons a lot (eg. L3/R3 joystick or non-ergonomic combos).
This will prevent use of charging cradles and the display is on the back so make sure to check the settings before playing.

Action meets RPG as the Pok~mon series reaches a new frontier. Get ready for a new kind of grand, Pok~mon adventure in Pok~mon Legends: Arceus, a brand-new game from Game Freak that blends action and exploration with the RPG roots of the Pok~mon series. Embark on survey missions in the ancient Hisui region. Explore natural expanses to catch wild Pok~mon by learning their behavior, sneaking up, and throwing a well-aimed Pok~ Ball. You can also toss the Pok~ Ball containing your ally Pok~mon near a wild Pok~mon to seamlessly enter battle. Travel across land, sea, and sky on the backs of Pok~mon to explore every corner of the Hisui region. Travel to the Hisui region~the Sinnoh of old~and build the region~s first Pok~dex. Your adventure takes place in the expansive natural majesty of the Hisui region, where you are tasked with studying Pok~mon to complete the region~s first Pok~dex. Mount Coronet rises from the center, surrounded on all sides by areas with distinct environments. In this era~long before the events of the Pok~mon Brilliant Diamond and Pok~mon Shining Pearl games~you can find newly discovered Pok~mon like Wyrdeer, an evolution of Stantler, and new regional forms like Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Zorua, and Hisuian Zoroark! Along the way, uncover the mystery surrounding the Mythical Pok~mon known as Arceus. A free software update brings special mass outbreaks and new challenges. In the free Daybreak update, you will begin investigating mysterious mass outbreaks of Pok~mon that are popping up all over the Hisui region. You~ll also have a chance to battle powerful opponents like Legendary Pok~mon in Eternal Battle Reverie and wardens at the Jubilife Village training grounds. Daybreak content will be available after viewing the game~s end credits. The Eternal Battle Reverie will become available after completing all missions. Bleacher Report - "Pokemon Legends: Arceus is such a blast to play and a step in the right direction..." ~ N/A - Game Informer - "Pok~mon Legends: Arceus is a beautiful adventure thanks mainly to its colorful art style~" ~ 8.75/10 - Polygon - "There~s always a new type of Pok~mon around every corner, and it makes the world feel alive." ~ N/A - The Verge - "... gives off the feeling of a real place full of danger and secrets and all of the joy and excitement those things can bring." ~ N/A - IGN - ~~reimagines how you go about capturing and battling Pok~mon~~ ~ 7/10 - As the protagonist of this game, you'll meet Professor Laventon, who studies the ecology of Pok~mon as a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. Before long, you'll join the Galaxy Team yourself and get to work as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pok~mon in the region! After receiving an assignment or a request and preparing for your next excursion, you'll set out from Jubilife Village to study one of the various areas of the Hisui region. There may be certain Pok~mon behaviors~or even entire species~that you witness only under the right conditions, such as during a particular time of day or in certain kinds of weather. Word has it that some Pok~mon even act in ways that are unique to their species! Keep an eye on your health while out adventuring~take too much damage from wild Pok~mon attacks or falling from high places and you~ll be unable to go on! Battles in the Hisui region also have some unique properties. For the first time in the series, your Pok~mon unleash moves with the speedy agile style or the powerful strong style. These styles might also affect how many turns Pok~mon can take in a row! Encounter noble Pok~mon, special Pok~mon in the Hisui region that have received a mysterious blessing. These nobles are particularly powerful and are revered by the people of the region. But some strange phenomenon is now causing them to suddenly fly into a frenzy. To quell them, you will have to hit them with balms made from these noble Pok~mon~s favorite foods. Jubilife Village is the main base of your adventures in Pok~mon Legends: Arceus. In Pok~mon Brilliant Diamond and Pok~mon Shining Pearl, this village has grown to be the bustling Jubilife City. There are also characters in Pok~mon Legends: Arceus who are ancestors of some familiar faces you may know. ~ 2022 Pok~mon. ~1995~2022Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc.

Finally, New Gameplay Style!
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
After many years of similar Pokemon games, this is a major change to the standard formula. It makes Pokemon seem to exist in a more living world when they are on the field and living in the environment that you can interact / manipulate with. In my photo, I'm riding around and being hit by a sleep spell.
This is as much a breathe of fresh air as Breath of the Wild was for Zelda games. Nice open world (mostly) that shows Pokemon behavior instead of reading boring Pokedex entries. Being free from the standard formula means modern quality of life improvements (eg. camps in the wild vs. relying on cities). The RPG/quest stuff can be more optimized though.

Lots of Phone for the Money
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
This would be my second OnePlus phone and is replacing my three year old OnePlus 7 Pro. While I miss the 100% full screen of the 7 Pro, this was a very suitable upgrade. The display is great and the edges aren't as curved. The hole punch front camera is minimally distracting. Of course it is several years newer and has a fresh battery so battery life and speed is better.
The default camera app is better than the 7 Pro but overall OnePlus is still behind the big names (Apple, Google, and Samsung) on their computational photography for those special magic features. But the huge space on the back for the cameras concerns me so I installed a glass cover. This made getting a case harder as some push on the glass. I use Ringke Fusion-X to hold it down on all four edges. (Photos show Ringke vs Supcase and the air bubbles that result).
OnePlus seems to have made smart improvements to stock Android in their OxygenOS that don't seem too disruptive. Although I still use a third-party launcher and disabled their Shelf pull down. I miss the power button for mobile payment app - but this is a change by Google to Android 13, not the OEM's customized OS fault.
The front in-screen fingerprint sensor doesn't seem as accurate as my prior phone. However, this could be due to a different brand of screen protector so I'll have to try again later.

Serious durability concerns
on January 16, 2023
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this on clearance sale and for the price (<$8), it is only okay. However, for anything near the original price it would be very overpriced. The leather is very plain and stiff. While leather creases are expected, it seems there is some cuts in the band from the metal clasp in just one or two times wearing it (visible around second hole from the bottom).
