2026 Media Thread!
RE4 Remake Separate Ways
Really nice spin on the original campaign, tho the original boss fights they added with the hooded man are AWFUL, and I don't remember ada ever fully healing the parasite (tho I guess she probably did that offscreen)
Marvel's Spider-Man (Insomniac) + DLC
FIIIIINALLY done with this game, really fucking good game, story is aight tho the ending DID make me cry a little bit lol
Resident Evil 5
Did this co-op with another friend of mine, couldn't do the dlc as I don't own it, pretty fun game!
Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!
Iron Lung (movie)
Ogh this was some good tense action. Definitely gonna see it again soon sometime
Newer Super Mario Bros. DS
Put this one down for a year or two because the final level is HELL, but the game is a masterpiece regardless
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
This one took me WAY longer than expected, a full month to finish, and it's INSANELY good. Wonderful expansion of the source material, amazing music, VASTLY IMPROVED COMBAT! I don't even mind the controversial ending since this is its own thing, it ain't replacing the og game I love so much.
Resident Evil 6
Minus the Ada Wong campaign, that was a pretty #alright time. Definitely feels like a spin-off more than a main entry though, and I can see why it kinda made the franchise go dormant for a good few years, minus spin-offs.
Pokémon Legends Z-A
Pretty damn solid pokemon title! Not as good as Scarlet and Violet in the story department (though that's honestly a high bar to reach), but the gameplay is damn solid, and I'm absolutely coming back to finish the post-game and dlc storyline.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger
96 hours of playtime, well worth it. Story coulda been more deep but I wasn't expecting something that would change the world for me, but the gameplay was REALLY rock solid. Questionable difficulty spikes at times but nothing totally unbearable. I've done the first dlc story and plan to do the others but I won't count those towards my media thread. Music was pretty damn good, tho nothing QUITE as catchy as the stuff in Cyber Sleuth.
Granblue Fantasy Relink
Man what a beautiful game. It has its emotional moments for sure, but not for the characters that return from the gacha game since this entire adventure is basically a sidestory to them. And that's fine! It's nice to have a little adventure that's really nice. And holy FUCK is the postgame huge. Keeping it installed entirely to go through that.
Resident Evil Revelations 2
(Not showing the actual logo for body horror reasons) Really fun for multiplayer but man is it forgettable otherwise, nice to finally get around to it though!
Pseudoregalia
Hella good metroidvania, even if I didn't know where to go half the time even with the map feature they added. Hope the creator does more cool stuff!
Aliens
Pretty damn good sequel, watched it with friends in preparation for one of them playing Alien Isolation! Really excited to watch her do it!
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Really really simple plot, but I really enjoyed this one WAY more than the first, it's really fun!
The Neverending Story (movie)
Just kind of aggressively ok to me, but it was a nice group watching experience
Like A Dragon Ishin! Kiwami
Really, REALLY solid entry in the franchise, when I get back to the franchise it's gonna be with Lost Judgment, really excited to get around to that one apparently the combat in it is peak
Stray
HOW DARE A KITTY GAME MAKE ME THIS EMOTIONAL
New Super Mario Land
Decided to play this cute little homebrew game on a whim, really cute! Wish the controls were better though
Granblue Fantasy: FMA The Blue Skies of Jannat
Man, as a fan of FMA, this event sucked.
Tales of Rebirth
Pretty damn nice game, the translation by Life Bottle Productions really felt like an official localization! Fuck that final dungeon though.
Zooptopia 2
Why was a modern Disney film actually good for once?
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
Really cute game!
Tales of Berseria (manga)
Honestly a really solid adaptation!
