Stuff

Idea stolen from @sillylotrpolls and @gen-is-gone:

Counting all media (the original series, the movie, Future, the video games, the comics...).

Half-Gems and fusions count. For example, if character A is a fusion of character B and C, then you count A, B and C.

To specify what 'number of characters' means in this context, if one character has multiple names (for instance "Bruce Wayne/Batman"), that character only counts once. On the other hand, multiple different characters with the same title, (ex. Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, et. al.) might all be Robin, but they each count as separate characters.

Feel free to reblog for wider reach.

Little Demantoid

I dunno what that thing is, but it looks so cute!

The canon queer character of the day is:

Bismuth from the Steven Universe series, who is a lesbian and non-binary.

I feel like Steven Universe games and comics hurt themselves by not letting them introduce new fusions. I mean, that'd bring in a loooot of hype.

If talking about games(specifically Unleash the Light) only, it'd be much better if fusions had more abilties and not every fusion had to form from Steven.

Games in 2022, Part 2

My procrastination problem is getting worse

= = =

Valiant Hearts: The Great War System: PS4 Genre: Sidescrolling Puzzle Game

I don’t have the words to describe how good this game is. It’s great, easily one of the best games to come out of Ubisoft. 

Colossus Down System: PS4 Genre: Beat Em Up

I have to be honest: I don’t think this is a good beat em up.

While I do respect the developer’s ambition (Colossus Down is the third game in its trilogy, stars the protagonists of the previous games and is a BEAT EM UP when the prior games were POINT AND CLICK GAMES), it’s obvious that the developers don’t usually make beat em ups because, if you’re a fan of beat em ups in general, there’s a lot that’s “different” (read: frustrating) about the way this game is designed. Someone described this as a beat em up you’d see on Newgrounds and that’s exactly it. It’ll seem fine for casuals, but it’s frustrating if you’re a hardcore fan of the genre.

My issues aren’t just with the gameplay however. The most disappointing thing about this game has to be its choice of main character. I get it, the plot is about Nika (and her developing as a character) but the problem is that Nika just isn’t that interesting. Agatha is the way better and more compelling protagonist... which makes it baffling that you can’t play as her outside of Co-Op Mode. While it makes sense with how the story is written, it is disappointing because this game wasn’t shy about showing off Agatha in its advertising. Like, the trailers and key art really seem like they’re co-leads but this is a Nika story first, with Agatha basically being a glorified bonus. 

There are some clever things about this game. But overall, the ones who will get the most out of this game are the Agatha Knife and MechaNika fans. It’s a hard sell for everybody else (especially hardcore beat em up fans)

Steven Universe: Save The Light System: PS4 Genre: JRPG (ATB-style combat)

This game is a real DIAMOND in the rough (please, please, hold your applause)

Seriously though. While this game has some serious issues (there are a LOT of bugs, ranging from harmless visual glitches to accidental sequence breaking to game crashing stuff) I kinda love this game for trying to be a big, console type RPG. I love the aesthetic, I love getting to explore locales from the actual series, and I really like the battle system (even if it’s got serious balance issues).

It bums me out that the sequel did its own thing (instead of building an improving on this game’s systems) because there’s real potential with the combat.

Steven Universe: Unleash The Light System: PS4 Genre: JRPG (Paper Mario style combat)

I don’t like this game as much as I love Save the Light, but it’s still good.

It’s 100% more polished, 100% more balanced and even features Lapis (you have no idea how upset I was at Lapis being teased but not added to STL) but... it’s hard to go from STL’s bigger, console production values to UTL (where you’re really just exploring rooms rather than a full world).

This game is easy to recommend, especially if you’re a Steven Universe fan. ESPECIALLY if you like Lapis, Peridot, Bismuth, Connie (or all four). Those characters get to do more in this game than they do in the entire show (:/)

Legal Dungeon System: PS4 Genre: Visual Novel

Legal Dungeon is a game that I am so conflicted on. On the one hand, it is an amazing critique of policing. If there was a textbook example of whatever the opposite of Copaganda is, it would be Legal Dungeon. I really can’t compliment the writing enough.

On the other hand, the game aspect of Legal Dungeon is honestly not great. Part of it might be an ineffective translation (Legal Dungeon is the product of South Korean game developers) but even if the game were translated better, I still think the gameplay would be a hard sell. You know how Ace Attorney games can be really obtuse? How, even if you’re several steps ahead of the case, sometimes you still get stuck because you have to present things in a very, very specific order? This game has that problem on STEROIDS. 

It’s unfortunate because, again, the game’s critique of policing is amazing. I don’t wanna spoil anything, but the way the game handles its main route and the alternate routes / endings is honestly kind of genius.

I think I can only recommend this game if it’s on sale. My line of reasoning is like this: I think the game should be played... but not without a guide... but if you play with a guide, this game is not even an hour long... so yeah, only get this on cheap and play it with a guide.
