his levels are actually fairly sick in d2 except for the Waste Tunnels. the problems are all the sandy Peterson maps in the back half that he had to make in like 3 hours each.

I've played them all for at least an hour. I recommend checking out 6 7 8 just because they're insane. Don't spend money on that trash though.

1. Dragon Quest XI - Platinum. Only draconian quest active was no xp for weaker monsters which I turned off before the final super boss so i could grind to Lvl 99. Basically a perfect game. I played it on PC when it first came out and absolutely adored it, but dropped it after the Act 2 credits. I still think the act 3 story is weak BUT it still wound up being my favorite part of the game. I loved the free form nature of that enormous finale, where you just get your own memories of the world to guide what you do next. Amazing squad. Amazing power curve, I think until literally the final grind of the game I was always thinking "oh nice just like 2 more levels until I unlock XX panel, which means I can move to" etc. the towns are all gorgeous and never feel like a chore to hang out in no matter how many tiems the story has you revisiting previous locations. I jumped between a wide variety of party comps throughout the game, but by the end my absolute boss killer squad was Hero/Jade/Eight/Serena. Erik sometimes subbed for Jade if I could.keep him alive on the harder fights. This caps off a pretty powerful series run. I started replaying the entire series with my GF a few years ago, who is a mega completionist and made us do every super boss and collect every mini medal etc. in every entry sans X (the nadir was grinding 1000+ battles on Slime Island in PSX DW7 to unlock Hero job for other party members to defeat God fast enough to unlock the spirits battle). now she's my wife and I'm ecstatic at finally seeing every square inch of XI, and the entire series, but really huge hole in my heart now that we've wrapped everything up...here's to continuing to wait for XII. DQ forever. Emotional evening. 5 > 11 > 8 > 3 > 7 > 4 > 1 > 2 > 6. But I even still like 6 it's just meh.

3. Dusk (normal mode). Episode 1 of this starts kinda slow - simple level design, a little too many open arenas where you just serious sam around and light up dogs. But ep2 & ep3 really kick rear end, better enemy variety & placement, excellent level design that elegantly jumps between cramped castle dives and open air sprawls. theres also a handful of cleverly crafted gimmick levels sprinkled throughout. great enemy design, i hated the drat dog go carts lmfao. what an insane idea for a hyper pinkie type. its cool that they wait until the last like 6 levels to add Cacodemons but theyre real bastards once they do. it was probably too easy on Normal but im glad i played through it to check it all out, i may just pick at random levels now on Hard from level select and try to find all the secrets etc. the only weapon i never really liked is the grenade launcher, i never got a handle on the firing arc really. the hunting rifle felt sick, and i really loved the Riveter. fun game.

oh yeah i hugely appreciated, after playing many many doom wads, that no level ever outstays its welcome. this guy made 33 maps that are all like 5-15 minutes long. i know im gonna replay it and theres basically not a single level that i will dread to revisit or anything. theyre all snappy and clean.

4. Mega Man Zero 2 - B rank. Generally for Wounded Warrior. Good bosses in this, level design on the whole is more interesting than 1 but it's also got some real bullshit. Hate the grappling hook feel. Lots of off blind jump spike pits. I'll play zero 3 eventually.

5. Yakuza 6. Did all the substories except the hostess ones. Excellent yakuza game, the combat was a little simple compared to recent entries but I think this was the first one on their new engine so I can forgive them. Had basically my favorite story since 2, loved the new-look kamurocho & sleepy seatown vibes of onomichi. amazing substories too, both the regular walking around hijinks and the longer form story based ones like baseball and the bar bros. drat the netchat was hilarious as well, the soap opera main story was tight, loved the new knuckleheads in the onomichi family (reminded me of the guys from 3 in okinawa) plus beat takeshi was great. cool ending too - would have been fully sick as just a regular finale when this game came out, but also knowing now that they've kept making yak games, i cant wait to see the twists and turns from here in 7/gaiden/IW. yakuza ftw.

*. Unlimited SaGa. Judy Playthrough. not really a game beaten per se, i completed the story of Judy but then i guess every character squares off against some moon dwelling ultra demon. I was fighting it for like 35 minutes and it died. then started a phase 2. so i checked and theres 4 phases total and i died very quickly. classic bullshit. I watched judy's ending cutscene on youtube. Not counting this as a game beat, but I wanted to log it somehow. Glad to have checked out a full character playthrough of this game. its kind of bad, I think. its got a wild verve, making everything so goddamn random. you roll dice to open chests. you roll dice to level up. you roll dice to attack! but underneath all of this its kind of shockingly simple. every single random encounter in the game ends in like 1 - 2 actions, except bsoses are 15 - 20 minute slogs. theres no real status effects, or elemental countering, or healing etc. Every single fight, from the first one to the ultra final boss phase 4, is just you hitting attack adn trying to spin good reels. dumb as gently caress, for a game with so many options on its surface. its ugly as sin outside of battle. the voice acting is bad, the story i kind of enjoyed. at least judy's, just a simple adventure getting your family back together to save grandpa. wonderful music, and a good crafting system. its also crazy short, it took me about 6 - 8 hours to reach the final boss (but i think part of the reason I struggled so hard on Chaos is that I guess once you unlock the final dungeon you're supposed to go around and do hours and hours and hours of side quests to roll for better stats and new sparks. Really fun.) I think you could make something really special out of the building blocks of this - I'm curious about the remaster, if it ever comes out. If they just port this thing with sped up battles and uprez'd menu text it would be a drat shame.

6. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Replay this before rebirth and had a blast. midgar is amazing...i think the only thing i really did differently this time was using barrett's melee weapons which surprisingly kicked rear end, especially his Deadly Dodge with the wrecking ball. since this game originally cmae out ive played like 2/3rds of the kingdom hearts franchise and WOW the whispers and sephiroth are some big time KH poo poo.

Oh yeah. 6a. The yuffie DLC. She and Sonon were very fun to play, her moveset really kicks rear end + adding a timed block element was a great idea and something I hope is included in Rebirth. The tone was really all over the place, obviously utilized a lot of reused assets but it was a fun romp. Dumb rear end 2000s spin off character I assume at the end there for the final boss just chilling in the Basement of Shinra HQ which is apparently some kind of lawless hell on earth for some reason. But you can just take a normal elevator to it. Fort Condor was simple but rly fun and I started doing the Hard mode fights, they're a good time. Can't friggin wait for Rebirth!!!!! Is there a thread yet.

Kongming posted:The perfect block is in the Rebirth demo so yeah it's a universal mechanic that all characters can do now. Makes no damage boss kills a reality besides cheesing them with -aga spells. Oh poo poo. Feel like hard mode is going to be way more punishing if it's now a universal mechanic. Cool.

6b. Yuffie DLC 100% trophies. The hard mode fort Condor battles, the hard mode fights w/ scarlet, the final boss and the VR super boss challenge were all tight. I think Weiss was the only overtuned post game challenge, I just used cheese strats. Although I probably would have had more patience to try different strategies if I had my PS4 save w/ tons of maxed out materia from my plat grinding. No time for that with rebirth just five days away!!!!! Let's loving gooooooo
