Fortunate in Games Unfortunate in Life

Reviews and commentary for video games that I've played! This includes visual novels! These will be my own opinions and trying not to die so much at games when I start the commentary. Just wanting to share my opinions. Once a week with reviews and commentary within queue, so you can still have some to look forward to!

So I had just finished Mass Effect 3 and I feel disappointed. It was the PS3 version so the base version of it before Legendary Edition. It definitely needes more to it which the Legendary edition provides.

But I definitely understand why people were upset with this.

I know it has been awhile since my last game update. To be honest I had forgotten about this blog... So yeah, but also life has definitely gotten ahead of me.

But here are the games that finally get to get out of unfinished backlogs:

Mass Effect Trilogy

Dragon Age

Hades

I might do a review of Mass Effect and Dragon Age. I have finished the first one of Mass Effect and beginning the second game of the trilogy.

Dragon Age Origins and DAII are the ones that I had finished at this point. I played both games on PS3, so there's that. I have DA: Inquisition on PS4 so I have to figure out how to transfer the save data to make my world that I had created through my choices.

Not much needs to be said that hasn't been said about Hades, so I'm not reviewing it.

Maybe a Bioware RPG versus for Mass Effect and Dragon Age. I have many ideas, including ideas for my own species thanks to Mass Effect, so I have a few drawing ideas.

DMC 5 FINISHED

I just finished Devil May Cry 5 and I'm super hyped since I really enjoyed the game. So good! I'm so glad that I played this after I was disappointed with Kingdom Hearts 3. I couldn't even pick up a game after finishing that. Now I'm going to be back into the swing of things. Maybe I'll go back to Dragon Quest XI or Tales of Vesperia now...

I've gotten Code:Realize Bouquet of Rainbows Limited Edition for PS4 and it looks great on TV! I can't wait to get to the Future Blessings part!

[gamerpersona]

I’ve been playing Yakuza Kiwami since I bought it this morning. Everything looks wonderful within it. I played the first game on ps2 (after I found it after looking for it since it’s rare just like the second game and that took even longer to find) and I love how they incorporated the new mechanics and such into the game. I finally get to know why Nishiki turned out the way he did. It’s just enjoyable as it always has been. And there’s no decision to hear the English from the first game thank god. The English wasn’t good, you can hear it on YouTube if interested.

I’ve been with this series since I found an interest for it because of the demo within a PlayStation magazine when I wasn’t old enough to purchase the game. The series is one of my favorites and I highly recommended it to a lot of people. I’m glad that people are finally being introduced to this great series because of Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami.

Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars Review

               Oh my god, this game… I don’t have many words for it. I’m not saying it in a good way either. Well, let’s get to it then.

               Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars made by Atlus and Spike Chunsoft.

               One of the reasons why I even bothered picking up this game is because of the fact that it is Atlus, and I love their games. The other reason was that it seemed to be anime like. And the last reason would be is that Atlus games aren’t cheap after a while. The weird part is; is that I didn’t order the limited edition of it, but the standard and I still got the limited edition. I wanted the standard since I never played this series before, but I won’t complain. I pretty sure I would like this game, but it was underwhelming. Okay, I’ll get back to my usual course of my review.

               Alright, here’s the summary of this game. When monsters come to Aterra, so too did the disciples: teenagers with rare abilities to hold the fiends back. Unique even among Disciples, your 100% success rate at producing Star Children blesses you with a special burden- bond with female disciples, raise an army and help your world survive! That’s the summary part harem visual novel and combat.

               Onto the characters… There’s not that many that are main though. That’s mainly the protagonist and the females, and the people that actually show up in the story. I’ll be introducing the more important characters since there’s not that many.

               The protagonist: a guy who is called “God’s Gift”, because he has a special amount of ether that’s rare to find. It really is in the game, that he’s forced to make children right away to serve his world to extinguish the enemies. His name can be anything, but he can also be given random names for his default. He’s interested in getting stronger to defeat enemies. A second year.

               Fuuko Amicus is a pink haired girl that’s an automatic S-rank that can make star children. She is friendly and actually the most normal of the girls. The first girl that is found out about. She is a second year.

               Narika Shina is shy and isn’t good at public speaking. She’s also the one with the biggest bust which people point out in the game not as often after a while. Able to create star children and is a second year.

               Ellie Troit works for the church, and is on a mission. She’s friendly as well, but she really adores the protagonist because of something in their past.  She’s also a first year.

               Chloe Genus is a teacher and prodigy for the fact that she graduated at a young age and she’s able to create star children. She’s Chlotz’s sister.

               Serina Leaf is your typical small tsundere, who is actually a third year. She helps run her sisters café when not in school or going into the dungeons with the protagonist and the star children.

               Torri Feiiji is the strange airhead type. She lived in a research facility, so she has a strange way of speaking. A first year student.

               Feene is a third year that is always gone on a mission or she’s in her hometown leading. She’s a lot nicer than she seems. She’s also able to have star children. She’s very talented with her blade that she was in fencing club.

               Chlotz Genus is your first friend that you make, and is the brother to Chloe. You can tell by the names… He’s an elite student, but isn’t fighting, but working in the lab. He is also from the same town as Fuuko.

               Alec Marker is a rich guy who is an elite disciple. He’s already fighting against their enemies. He seems cold, but he’s more caring than he seems. His family runs a lot of things it seems…

               Seriously this games summary wouldn’t catch my interest too much. I thought I would give this game a chance and I did, but man was it mediocre. The game could have a better battle system, the combat is meh, and the player advantage doesn’t happen as often since you can’t strike your enemies first. Then the enemies don’t change up as often as I would hope. I fought the same enemies more than once in a row with the same enemy lineup.

               I don’t take this game seriously whatsoever since the summary said it all: dating simulation, combat, harem and lastly visual novel. It does seem like softcore porn is in there too. The only reason why I say that is because of how the star children are made. You would have to see that to understand what I mean. The girls in here are used mainly for that purpose which is horrible and they don’t question it or deny their duty. Which this would not be okay whatsoever in real life, since women shouldn’t be treated as though they don’t have a voice.

               Onwards to another issue, the other issue speaks for itself. The story isn’t all that great. Stereotypical harem crap, and the dungeons. Yeah, the dungeons… They seem the same to me no matter where I go in the game. The labyrinths are supposed to be exciting and different each time you go in, but they’re not. Sometimes there’s a little bit of difference, but it’s mostly repetitively the same like the enemies. Their different, but still the same each dungeon. Sometimes the enemies are different usually not. There’s also a perverted old man, who checks out the girls which isn’t strange, but kind of creepy because he also says that he wouldn’t mind doing them in a way. Very creepy. You’ll know who I mean if you play it or look up the game.

               The voice acting is good. It’s not the greatest, but this game is subpar, so I don’t think the voice acting is all that great. One of the girls voices is supposed to be an airhead, but she doesn’t need to sound so slow. I just didn’t like that, because she was speaking a little slow, she didn’t be, so yeah that’s just an issue to me. I also didn’t expect the voice of Feene to be as high pitched more than I thought it would be. I was expecting a gentle mature voice, but nope that’s not what it was. There’s of course extras and such as well, but I don’t really care as far as the game is concerned.

               My final judgment is probably what you expect. I don’t care for it that much, but it’s a good laugh since I can’t ever take it serious enough. The lackluster gameplay doesn’t help matters. Magical transformations I forgot to mention about, but the magical girls not really anything new, but the protagonist gets one. Now that was something I didn’t expect, but still doesn’t help it for me. Well, you get the drift, I don’t recommend this game. Maybe you’re still interested, then I’d just say take a crack at it.

               I don’t really have any recommendations after this since most the games I’m currently playing or review one day would be an otome or something else entirely.  That’s it for now. Until next time.

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XVIIII

Going back into the game, hoping not to get desynch so much.

Time for that Homestead mission.

I still can’t get Norris done with the encyclopedia since every time I see him it’s for a mission.

Stop attacking me wolves. I don’t want to kill you anymore.

She wants me to climb this cliff? Alright…

Oh, look a drop point, thank god. I would’ve desynched if I didn’t see it.

I’m gonna try to get that female elk.

I got one. I’ll try the other.

I got that one too. I better get back to Norris.

Still though, I had to climb a cliff just for some flowers.

Is Norris in the outhouse?

Okay, he was.

An interactive conversation with Norris, but I don’t see him anywhere.

I’ll just fast travel to the manor. I’ll do that one then go back to Norris.

The interactive conversations are there, but not the people.

The glitches return already.

Nevermind I found Achilles.

Do I get to get a doctor for this place?

It seems like the dog is follow me.

Now Norris is here.

Man, Connor… You’re not as suave as Ezio.

Aw, they are finally going to have a baby.

I really do get the doctor finally.

Sending out assassins to hit random enemies is probably going to be the easiest way to get them to level 1.

Back to the Homestead to do more of those missions.

There’s so many of the missions.

I won the bowls game somehow.

I’ve finished the hunters log now.

Yes, I do have a moment.

Funny, how a wolf shows up after I get done herding the pigs.

It was hard to herd those pigs.

More side stuff.

Abrupt stop. I stopped playing since something came up.

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XVIII

Figuring out the fast travel crap now. I remember how to do it at least.

I found most of the points so far.

There’re mini puzzles everywhere down there.

Oh my god, I forgot my lantern.

I was wondering what that elevator was for.

I’m terrible with riddles, but I’ll get them eventually.

I got one right without a hint!

I’m done with that. I’m gonna try the Homestead again.

Got the farmers! I guess that’s it.

To the Boston Tea Party!

I need my assassins, but I’m not close enough.

Man, they got so much sass in this family.

I’m missing an assassin for Boston.

I’m always dying! Why am I always dying while trying to get recruits?

I keep getting desynched man!

If there’s a general store nearby, I’m going to buy new weapons.

There is okay.

I always want the weapons and party. That’s why I’m always looking for the better quality.

Why is this one part so difficult?!

That one liberation contract is in such a small area that I decided on using a sword instead.

I didn’t want to buy it though.

I’m gonna get my final assassin for Boston. Yes!

Got that 3rd assassin finally!

Now I have to go back to the Homestead.

Did the main mission, which was an easy start of the real mission.

I finally had to save my convoy again.

I can’t figure out how to send the assassins to defend!

I hate this mission already.

I wouldn’t worry about being detected… I would be a horrible assassin.

I don’t care if I got there detected anymore.

That’s not a sword, Johnson. That’s a musket.

Olives are good and all, but you have to understand what you’re taking from them.

I don’t care anymore about that optional. It’s difficult.

I couldn’t do any of those optional objectives man.

Dang, Connor calm down.

Oh, look a Homestead mission. I’ll do that before I call it quits.

I’ve done two before I quit.

There are two Achilles… Another glitch.

So many glitches.

I’m done after seeing that one.

I’ll just go outside the manor first.

There’s another Homestead mission open… That can wait until next time.

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XVII

Let’s try this again.

I hope this works because I want to get further.

It’s working, thank goodness.

I did a mail courier mission. That was easy.

Now back to the main mission.

I’ll see what’s in the general store.

That’s what that spot is for.

Now back to the Homestead to check stuff, I guess.

Did a Homestead mission. Hoping to level up these people.

Back to Boston.

Maybe I can liberate more citizens after the main mission.

Sorry, dude. I can’t control my running.

I can feed a turkey. I feel special.

Whoops, sorry.

At least I haven’t killed a civilian yet.

I finally can recruit assassins.

How do you recruit? Are you supposed to kill them or beat them up? I’ll figure it out.

There’s so much going on in this one.

I don’t understand. this liberation stuff got a little difficult.

I needed to be desynched!

Desynch me!

I’ve got it right! After a few tries…

I’m starting to understand how to do this.

I need the pistol at some points.

I get it now! The liberations are going to be a lot more easily from now on.

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XVI

Already feel like playing again.

Almost done with the almanac. I’m just chasing them to finish them.

I just got another trophy for the pages I’ve collected.

Shut up you darn kids. I don’t like kids…

Leave me alone you dang gone kids. I’m not giving you money.

I’ve finished two Richard’s Almanacs, yeah!

I got desynched!

I keep running into firing lines!

Saved another Homestead civilian, well who will become one of them. I added another misfit.

Got all the almanac pages.

I’ll get back to you, Sam Adams.

Just liberated a fort.

Hey, Sam Adams.

Liberation missions aren’t so easy.

I’m doing those at a different time.

Hi, doggy.

Hello, doggy number two.

I’m trying to find my way out, Sam.

So I’m not supposed to kill to intercept? Huh.

My game froze! Nothings working! All I did was start running!

At least the power button still works.

I think I’m done again… Just because of that freeze…

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XV

Hello, older Connor.

I agree with you, Achilles. A tree would’ve been better, but hey that’s his culture’s tradition.

Doing Homestead stuff and found out how to level people up.

Stopping a fight is hard to do.

I did it though.

Onto main mission stuff again.

I’m digging the blue.

Want to fast travel to Boston? Yeah. And in real life.

It may not seem like it, but I have been playing for at least six hours.

Sweet I got an almanac page before I got off this game!

I guess I’ll do this chest before I call it quits.

Me: Sister, come over here I need help!

Sister: For what?

Me: I need help lock picking!

Sister: I’m coming…

Me: I just need you to press the R1 button. I can’t keep my thumbs in place at the same time.

Sister: I can’t believe I had to help you with a game.

Me: Yeah, with a button for a treasure.

I’m definitely done for now.

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XIV

Now onto the main mission of failure.

Why are ships always girls?

My stuff is always dudes.

I don’t wanna do this.

I don’t think want me to sail a ship.

She will bite.

This going really well.

I don’t want to hit anything.

I didn’t screw up!

Yeah, let’s go back to the ship and let me screw up.

Worries of sailing.

I was so worried over nothing so far.

Nevermined…

I pressed square and it wouldn’t let me take cover.

Not bad my butt. So much damage.

I love how that guy is afraid of Achilles.

Yes! I finally got the outfit.

I really like Achilles and Connor’s relationship.

Ah, dang it. Back to Desmond.

Desmond missions now.

At least now I get to play him, I guess.

Oh great I’m parachuting.

Yes, I hear you.

Man, I’m having an easy time playing Desmond.

I’m doing way too well right now.

That went way too well.

Dude, stop. Don’t say that.

Okay, Desmond let’s do this, let’s get out of here.

That was an easy mission.

I’m going back to the Animus. I can careless about what’s going on out there.

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XIII

Back! And I know how to protect the convoys and where!

Going to the frontier.

I just tried to assassinate, but I just knocked out the guy.

I’m going to throw the guy over the cliff.

Onto the interactive conversation.

It’s so far away…

Woo, I killed a 5 deer! I beat a hunting challenge.

How is the fire a fast travel station?

Doing a lot of side stuff at the moment.

I killed so many wolves! I love wolves! So it hurts…

I’ve desynched two times already.

I’m really stalling on the main mission. Sailing…

I desynched more than twice now.

I got into many open conflicts, and a good amount of troops attacked me.

I got a trophy for the fire line human shield thing.

Collected some feathers.

Did two frontier missions.

Did two homestead missions.

I’ve killed many wolves sadly.

This has been a decent playthrough.

I love how I have people get better lives on the Homestead. Gather all the misfits.

I was prepared for my convoy to be attacked then nothing happened.

Huh, strange.

The assassin horse is glitched near rocks…

Don’t worry, horse, I’ll get you out of there.

I have to go further out.

I desynched from a leap I survived twice… Oh well.

[gamerpersona]

Assassin’s Creed III Commentary P. XII

To Davenport Homestead.

There’s a ship, time to check it out.

There’s nothing how disappointing.

Where are you dog I heard you?

Ah well, onto the mission.

The hidden blades?! Is it the hidden blades? Yes! Finally!

Oh my god, I was trying to this earlier after the ship.

Would you keep yourself near something until I get to you!

This is really hard when you can’t touch water.

I screwed up because I jumped into the water too early.

I could get that full synch if I want right now since I know what I need to do.

I can switch to the hidden blades now.

Give me the hidden blades.

Cool, one homestead mission complete.

Oh look now I get to go back to the ship.

Somethings on fire. Great that means trouble as well as a dude.

Time to begin training.

Hehe, Connor made a face.

Dang gone it! Going back to the ship again.

I’m going to have to remember the Homestead stuff.

I’m gonna check out this interactive conversation.

I was going to the ship, but I’m curious about that trophy.

Hey, Achilles.

I don’t understand how you’re supposed to protect your convoy.

I think I’m done for now.
