is there anything specific that makes 8 better cause i just stopped having any feelings towards ys seven's gameplay after a while

Maybe it sounds minor but just the way you haul rear end while you hold the run button, and when you jump while running you launch yourself forward in this super satisfying way, and the dodge is really responsive and you can even do it in midair to keep your momentum up, and speaking of midair the jump being back makes it feel a bit more like 4-6 with more vertical areas to match. It just feels great to play. And the town with a bunch of people to talk to at the start of 7 was kind of a drag and I liked the brief boat segment at the start of 8 a lot better.

oh also it automatically does charge attacks after like a second of moving so no holding a button, that's cool. and you gather things by just running up and slapping them once with a weapon to make all the materials or whatever explode out like a pinata so that's way faster.

there's some bullshit about hitching a ride to Greek or wherever and then deciding once they get there but it was a pretty weak justification for "we're on a ship that's in the middle of the ocean"

Yeah Berseria is a long game in a year of many good games but its worth finishing. It really brought me back to why I enjoyed Tales games to begin with.

it's hosed up that quake 1 has one of the healthiest mapping communities ever and quake 2 doesn't even have a single centralized place to download maps from

but i guess it also makes sense since quake 2 isn't as good

Unfortunately this does not mean videogame videos are without ads. They can still get ads even if they're 'advertiser unfriendly', but only youtube makes money from them
