  1. Finished Astral Chain!

     

    Maqqy’s final rating: 8/10

     

    The only drawback of this game is the plot. The story is pretty lackluster. I mean, there were so many questions left unanswered. It felt short, like it was cut here and there to fit it in 11 files/chapters.

     

    Yet yet yet, everything else makes up for it. Sidequests were entertaining and never felt like a chore to do. Characters, gameplay, graphics, they are all A++

     

    Special mention to the the theme songs of the game. Those were very anime-ish but they were c l e a n ESpecially the ending part that sht was fire 🔥 

     

    I love the game nonetheless. I loved how the mc “talked” in the last file. It was a nice surprise.

     

    You know what’s nexxtttt

     

    Time to dust off three houses from the shelf!!

     

    Am I ready though?

      As much as I want to say "sneak a small game inbetween!", 3 Houses does look super good from what I've seen. makes me want a switch more. 

      Still, I'm currently trying to get all the way through fates properly this time, so...

      Maqqy

      I’ve actually never played any fire emblem game besides heroes, so this will be my first time playing a core game of the franchise.

       

      I also just started a while ago and.... I am amazed 😌

  2. OKAY. I’m gonna go with regina george first and her team, the black eagles. I want to explore the game with my main pick after all. Blue lions then Golden deer will be up next.

     

    So far the game has a lot of lore and I love it. I wasn’t even aware we have relationship points here 👀 so far so good three houses, so far so good.

  3. This week has been pretty crazy so far. Life has it's own way of being utterly weird, the apocaleaks of swsh and me being obsessed with 3H right now.

     

    Trying my best to keep up. Can you all just sit down 🙉

      I'm still immersed on my first BE playthrough. I didn't know that guiding these weirdos and setting goals would be so much fun. Should I get a job as a professor lol.

      Instruct = Win. There is so much fun experiencing the possibilities. Enjoy! BE is an amazing cast!

      Concerning Ingrid, it all comes down whether you hit that 35% strength growth or not. So yeah, I can relate. I had the useful last playthrough and right now I have the broken. Thanks god it's happening in Maddening.

    3. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      I've had to do blue lions twice because of a miss save, both times her strength and magic just did not grow. Heck, the first time Mercedes had better strength... 

    4. Maqqy

      Maqqy

      Oof. Well, no one to blame except Sylvain who’s always distracting her. 
       

      Ty for the advice guys, I’ll be sure to keep her in check 😎

  5. Merry Christmas to everyone in the Reborn region 🤗🎄🎁

  6. Seems like it was just yesterday that Temtem was only in beta, now it finally got released.

     

    Can Dialga like, do its thing and slow down time?

      It hasn't released, it's still in early access. That was the alpha that just finished, not the beta. Half the game hasn't even been added yet!

    3. Maqqy

      Maqqy

      Oh okay. For an alpha, it already has a lot of content which is good to see. It’s almost a finished game that just needs a bit tweaking.

       

      Treating it as V1 with V2 being the full game.

    4. doombotmecha

      doombotmecha

      Yeah pretty much. There's like half the tempedia and 3 more islands still to go, but from what I've played it's incredibly well-made.

  7. A small detail:

     

    Spoiler

    In Reshiram path, Taka's death came of as a surprise because I didn't see an Absol beforehand. A minor detail yeah, but maybe it was intentional? Maybe it isn't considered a disaster? Idk.

      The one with Titania and Amaria.

      To answer your previous question, natural disasters are the textbook definition ones like landslides, avalanches, blizzards, tsunamis and the like.

       

       

    3. Maqqy

      Maqqy

      Spoiler

      Yeah they were both crazy but I think they showed some of their real "darker" selves in that path. Ultimately the important thing was the truth was out, no matter how brutal it was. Though I really believe after this, things will get better for them because they finally let go of each other can't say for Amaria though because the girl is wack

      @Autumn Zephyr Um not gonna lie, kinda read that again a few times to understand it. Same goes with the in-game text. I was shooked by the accent.

       

      @SilverAngelus You know I can't resist my boy Sobble :((( I will loan you octopath money Sol..

       

      This game is breathtaking and I was really surprised that they had voice overs!! OT coming in strong.

  9. Um, if this hasn't been said before, I will say it now. The best music in Reborn is undoubtedly, the indoor gym music. The title, To Greater Heights by GlitchxCity. Search it, play it, loop it, respect it.

    *Bittersweet feelings. On one hand I'm glad it's over but on the other, I'm going to miss every bit of the journey. One of the best for sure.

     

     

    The Squadron:

    • Masquerain honestly, truly, made this game so much more fun for me. It was a BEAST in this run with almost a broken moveset, typing (Bug/Water) coupled with it's buffed stats? This game had me hollering every minute. I really love Masq and to use it competitively for the first time, it was just oh so joyous. Almost no mon could faint it.
    • Hardest gym for me was Clay. His ace Excadrill swallowed my team whole with that really cute move that is Earthquake. It also had Air Balloon so you know, I enjoyed that too.
    • Apparently Triple Gym Battle with Flying type Leader Skyla was a thing. Caught me off guard a little bit. We should always thank Arceus that Discharge existed.
    • Emboar with Adaptability is so OP, practically a wrecking ball. Imagine if canon Emboar had that.

     

     

    All in all, the hack really is the best in terms of a very hard challenge, almost Reborn levels. It also brought me back to my Gen 5 times. 

    Nonetheless, it is an adventure that I never want to go back again.

     

     

     

    Well now that is done, time to play this particular fan game I've been meaning to try. Till next time!

      Congrats! Yea I had the same thing with Clay way back when I played. I think I had to specially tech rain into my team just to cancel out the perma-sand that was causing so much trouble

    4. Maqqy

      Maqqy

      @DreamblitzX Thank you! Masquerain wasn't available till after Clay so I kinda you know, struggled. Had to rely on Gabite and Emboar mostly. I basically battled Terra of Unova.

  11. Pokemon Legends of the Arena, Demo Finished!

     

     

    Spoiler

    I gotta say that was a blast.  Every bits and pieces of the game was magnificent. Took me a long time to play this huh.

     

     

    Team members:

     

     

    team.png.c2d9668cec2f87d4e2117b3c4025505e.png

     

     

    • Well of course I'm going with my favorite eevolution as a starter. No questions there.
    • First time having a Legendary on the team (for the first time in ages?). The Route 15 Forest was just so... I just had to keep a memento. Suicune was perfect for that.

     

     

    In summary, I loved it. I think what I liked most about it is the experience of it all. It has a different take on Pokemon from all the fan games I played in a while.

    Other than deviating from the original "collect all badges and become champion" formula, it conveys a more unique tone and atmosphere that sets it apart from different

    main line Pokemon games. So I will really miss LOTA! I will be eagerly waiting for the next update no matter how long it will take. It deserves the patience.

     

     

     

    P.S. I've said this before but really the music in this game is the GOAT. Seriously. Almost Nier: Automata God-tier levels of music. Makes the game so much better.

    That's all. Thank you for listening to my ted talk!

    Oh and I updated my sign to my rejuv team! I feel like it will be my final mons, maybe.  Still missing that one special thing to make it complete, same for my Reborn team. Just have to wait a tad bit longer for that for now.

      Maqqy

      You should! Medicham is one of the staples in Rejuv in my opinion and a must-have in every team especially with that pure power high jump kick. I just really like Weavile more for my team so I decided to switch it out at the end.

    4. SilverAngelus
  20. Remembered something today. Flint was the Sinnoh fire type elite four member. Yet his team consists of Rapidash, Steelix, Drifblim, Lopunny and Infernape. 2/5 are fire types in D/P. Though strangely it fits. I guess that is why gym leaders in Reborn like Luna, Radomus, Serra etc. now had mons that doesn’t correlate to their type but to their theme. It didn’t fit well with me the first time honestly because it kind of strays away from their role as a monotype gym leaders but I now see it in a different light. Their team emphasizes their personality and how they developed as characters. An example of that is Aya having a Lycanroc because of Hardy’s influence. Huh. I like it a lot now.

  21. You know a very nice surprise in Reborn? AZ Floette. I would just like to see that mon in battle just for once. I could see it becoming one of Lin’s aces. That mon would just probably rot deep in the dungeon since GF doesn’t have any plans of releasing the poor thing ☹️ if not, really hope Gen 8 would pull through though!

      At this point, it's either going to be some completely random giveaway or until they find a reason to have AZ randomly appear in another game or something.   I was going to say 'until the Gen 6 remakes' but that just reminds me of GF abandoning the chance for an expanded Kalos or something by choosing not to make Z.

      @Youmu9 Not supporting them and ignoring them is fine and good, but pulling a C&D to games like Uranium and Prism, also to Pokemon Essentials itself? That’s some bullcrap.

       

      Like you said, they aren’t going to be affected at any way with this type of things. So why hinder or stop creativity? Why stop something that’s not even getting any form of profit but solely for dedication and love for the franchise?

       

      I get the whole “they must protect the brand name” and all of the factors that come with that being their market is directed to children. But really, there’s literally no reason to do that if they don’t get affected whatsoever. Even Sega is encouraging developers to make fan games of Sonic. 

       

      It’s just blatant selfishness.

      I'm basicaly repeating second/third hand info but basically the leader board of nintendo(don't know about game freak/The Pokemon Company) are really old fashioned and this kind of thinking is not their style. And I think most business men don't quite buy that fangames are basicaly the same as fanfictions and not a concurrent game(the existence of donation is also a factor)

      Although they don't seem to actconsistently: they did took down essentials,uranium and the likes but don't seem to actively hunt down fangames(I mean a simple google search gives you the name of the most popular fangames so it would not be that hard).It might be that they just want to set an example/not tarnish much ther image

  25. Ayyy FE Three Houses are booming with good reviews! I might just cop one after I’m done with botw 👀 which will probably be until the next decade maybe buying a switch at this time was the best thing I’d ever did.

     

    Honesty time: Seeing all these handheld games coming into fruition on a main console, just deepens my disappointment for SwSH. It’s 2019. I shouldn’t be seeing graphics/animations as a problem anymore. There are just literally no excuses at this point. I love Pokemon but I’m not blind to their flaws and drawbacks. To all the fans, you shouldn’t hate them nor defend them. Mature criticism is what’s viable. I’m still going to play SwSh regardless since my faith is not going down anytime soon, it just makes me sad sometimes.
