Death Mark 2 was definitely inferior to the first game but there were a lot of things to like about it too! Some great moments between Yashiki and Mashita, and it was fun getting to see animated versions of the characters walk around (The canon Yashita height difference is so cute 🥰)
It definitely had a very different writing style than the first game, especially when it came to how the lines of the characters were translated. The characters cussed a lot more (especially Yashiki which surprised me) whereas they didn't really swear at all in the first game. It wasn't necessarily bad but it stuck out to me. Overall I enjoyed the characterization since it made for moments like the one above.
I have some complaints about the repetitiveness and how they made it so you can't save the "marked" students. It being set in a school made it so you explored the same setting over and over again with the exception being the forest and bus route. However, I did enjoy the student characters they introduced and found their personalities entertaining. Again though I would have preferred if they gave us an option to save them. Coming from the first game where saving everyone gave you some very satisfying bonus content it made me feel like I was doing something wrong when everyone died lol. The trade off was Yashiki angst which I enjoyed I guess
(MAJOR SPOILERS AND TW BELOW)
I really enjoyed the ending of the game! The backstory of The Departed was satisfyingly gruesome and I really love the role reversal of Yashiki being subjected to the same fate in the bad ending of the game. Overall it was super stylish and I found the conclusion of The Departed story in the good ending very cathartic. Especially the bit where he speculates that The Departed was able to experience the normal life that they always wished for while inhabiting the bodies of those girls. In general I found The Departed to be a very compelling and sympathetic antagonist. Unfortunately the other minor antagonists were overall pretty boring.

a little more disorganised exploring
#disorganised only bc some are from my older NG+ save file where I managed to NOT override gravity and died missing a zip line jump#and then ended up being told by Aloy that I need to finally do Erend's quest so Avad will talk to me#even tho I literally just saved Itamen and his mom so what the heck. he knows who we are gdi#anyway. the other ones are from my embrace-escape run where I'm outside early just collecting stuff#and doing as many quests as the game allows pre playing through the Proving#world's a little weird. campfires don't save your progression properly. but vantage points do#and you can fast travel to settlements. just.. no override and only one bandit camp as far as I've been able to tell#so it's my favourite game - hiking simulator 3040 my beloved. love this game. the vibes are stellar and the visuals are gorgeous#The Cut is lovely too but I got sidetracked going for all the metal flowers and vessels and vantage points instead#plus.. no tallnecks so far and even if they showed up I couldn't override them anyway#so cauldrons are prob out of the question too. not sure if I tried before tho#saddest thing so far: no Proving means no Yan means no Solai means no Nakoa quest and therefore no Nakoa :'(#but Daytower is locked until later anyway.. tho maybe I could get there from the other side? the other gate further north is open luckily#which means I've met Petra again and done her first quest. which does make me happy. I've missed her and her flirting :)#(grandma Teersa is so well done btw. LOOK AT HER)#anyway. off to bed now#lou plays#Horizon Zero Dawn#hzd remaster

well i have now officially beaten every soulsborne game and i have platinumed half of them
and frankly speaking…..Dark Souls 2 is the best Dark Souls game and the second best game after Bloodborne.
#now to do NG+ and NG++ for both DS2 and DS3 I guess#i am not counting Sekiro or Elden Ring in this because they are neither -souls nor -borne#i dont have an excuse for Demons Souls i really wanna play it but i dont have the elusive mythical box inside the brain#tHE POINT IS DS2 IS BEST DARK SOULS GAME YALL JUST WRONG#video games#soulsborne

Okay, a few years back I made this graphic to explain the Great Cycle. Now that I've mulled over DD2 for a few days, I'm updating it. Some of the same assumptions as before remain: The Dragonforged fought the dragon, his weapon broke, he tried punching it (lmao), but he did survive without killing the dragon, possibly there was a second Bargain offered in the face of his determination. So you don't have to kill your dragon to survive it. Also still assuming that different classes become different types of drakes because I just like that detail, even though we see nothing to confirm it in DD2 (except maybe for the wyrms in the post-game, I hope that's what those are, just a bit redesigned).
But this time, I'm making some NEW assumptions: A Great Dragon can be manifested directly by the Seneschal's will (I'm guessing this is why our DD2 dragon doesn't have a name, I suspect this dragon was created after Rothais defeated his - he didn't become a dragon OR Seneschal so it had to come from somewhere). The challenge a Seneschal poses to the Arisen can be anything; Savan gave us the opening of the Everfall and unleashed a ton of powerful monsters upon the world; but Pathfinder gave us what the world would look like without a Seneschal to oversee things. My assumption is that the Colossal Dragon that appears out of that final red pillar of light IS the Pathfinder (possibly using his will to force order back upon the world) and when we kill it, our Arisen becomes Seneschal (because Pathfinder says he won't be there to see the new world that's forming). So the challenge can be anything, not just the Everfall. I'm curious what happens to our pawn after that fight, though. And it's a much better Seneschal fight than the one against Savan, sorry Savan.
I'm also assuming that (given we see the Pathfinder rewind time and rewrite the world) the Seneschal can simply will the world into a state of being that suits them. This includes wiping memories of events. Though I like to imagine that our Arisen-turned-Seneschal didn't wipe memories of themselves or of the apocalypse-world. There was an entire plotline going through this game with Rothais and Phaesus where mortals are trying to get rid of the Seneschal and so it makes sense that they need to remember what would happen without the Seneschal's presence.
Anyway, thanks. I'll probably have more thoughts later, but this is the part that gets me most. I like to know how things work so I wanted to sort the Cycle out.
#dragon's dogma#dragon's dogma 2#dragons dogma#reliviews#the great cycle#personal#i wonder where a ng+ will put me#i really am excited to play ng+#but i need a break to rotisserie chicken what i've got so far#i'll come back to it with a fresh pov after a few weeks i think#there are of course still things i wanna know#what's the deal with the dragonsplague#it's not just a mechanic they added to troll us#but what is its significance#what happens to our pawn after we defeat the colossal dragon#they flat out state we infused them with will of their own#so do they become human after that#or does the plague kill them#and there are always timeline questions#what happens to lamond and this new dragonforged#how long ago were they arisen#what about rothais#he's not even really alive anymore but does he finally get to die#is the brinepocalypse something that HAS to happen periodically#to like clean slate the world#to remind people of the importance of the seneschal and maintain peace for a time afterwards#what happened to religion#there was a maker and faith-church in the first game#where's that now have people just forgotten to worship the seneschal#anyway

Okay for my end-y bits!
idk my bff sigurd? imagining him actually having unrequited feelsies for Reverie is actually really cute and ow though :'')
These results remain nonetheless hilarious though because these were just people whose quests I did most recently. BUT I think Trysha is really cute on account of my HC that her and Rann have an adorable familial bond studying magic together. 🥹
@vestaloflight, @soloavengers, @wokestone - Sev is baby, my early game buddy. 🥺 Did let out an actual sob when I saw Winnie. 😭 Beckett saved my ass in endgame so many times 😌
All right... time to go again.
#dd2 spoilers#crow's caps.#crow plays dd2#friend ocs.#well i'll start their NG+ but they'll be a little on the backburner for now#but I'll still be prodding at them and updating quests and all that!#oc: reverie#oc: rann

i bestow upon primrose the ability to be a zenkichi hater during strikers
#ng+ au gone wrong (not clickbait)#p5#akira kurusu#p5 strikers#marsh tries#he has no love for cops and the whole having to work with them as the detective prince has not helped with that#bonus of crow is leader so primrose simply does not have to play nice in order for anything to get done#and crow would not make him <--is also a hater#n e way the thieves are aware of his whole Thing by now but he does stick to using the magical girl fit#bc its fun and also bc he doesnt want zenkichi to know shit about him. no murder fit knowledge privileges for him

I'm confident enough to say that tr chronicles became another favorite tr game of mine
#personal#i actually had so much fun except till the last level cause it's still kicking my ass#but overall i actually love it a lot more now and can't wait to come back again for remastered#also gonna say this but tr4/5/6 lara is the best lara imo there i said it and i miss her so much already#went to check leaked achievements for remastered and going ''oh i know how to do this now :D''#but then it has a lot of ''dont take damage from this and that'' and ummm yea I'm gonna suffer#anyway i might install tr4 cause I'm impatient as fuck already :')) or play tr3 ng+ to get the last achievement
