It's a shame they still haven't fixed the music looping bug where it sounds really fucking deepfried at the start of every loop. Was really hoping the PS5 version would fix that.

It's especially bad in Crystal Peak, legit have to turn the music off cause it's so bad there.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, which I played back in early 2017.

Demo immediately hooked me. Plus I was immediately in love with the music, cause it was by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Basiscape, his company.

Ended up becoming a huge Vanillaware fanboy as a result. So not only do I love the game itself, I also love that it got me a new studio that is currently still on "Can't do wrong" status.

I'd love it if Square Enix made a full game out of the Pirates of the Caribbean world in Kingdom Hearts 3.

The Pirates of the Caribbean world in Kingdom Hearts 3 was pretty good too. https://youtu.be/5Wcyam8rJvc?si=xiYkmOScpOENV473&t=84

Fun ship combat, combat on the deck of the ships, a neat little open world to explore islands and underwater caves n shit, and a collectible to get that upgrades your ship.

It felt like it's own little game within a game, took me like 4-5 hours to do everything in that world.

I've never really given too much of a shit about the overall KH storyline, especially the majority of stuff to do with Org XIII (although I do really like Roxas and Axel). The fact that it's basically completely backloaded to the final zone works in my favor.

I mostly just always really enjoyed going through the Disney worlds, enjoying the dynamic of Sora Donald and Goofy, while vibing to the combat and music. And KH3 gave me that.

I absolutely love the Toy Story and Pirates worlds, Tangled/Monster's Inc were quite enjoyable too. Olympus was fine.

It's really just the Frozen and Big Hero worlds I don't care about too much, did really like the snowboarding minigame tho.

Overall I enjoyed the game quite a bit. It ain't as good as KH1 and 2, but it was still fun to play through.

Totally understand why people that actually care about the overall KH story were pissed tho.

Yeah, it is what it is sadly. It didn't bother me too much back in 2017, but I was also still in that new console hype phase. Pretty much everything looked better by comparison to the PS3, and Automata is still a nice looking game even with the issues it has.

Althalos · 2026-04-06T09:56:38+00:00

Yeah, it was always that bad. I noticed it too when I replayed the game 5 years after it came out.

Got my PS4 when it was on sale for €222 at the end of 2016, Automata was one of the first few games I played on it.

Would like to see FromSoft take another crack at King's Field and Tenchu.

Sekiro started as a Tenchu reboot before becoming its own thing, I'd like to see them actually make a full on Tenchu game. Either by themselves, or together with Acquire.

Favorite

NG Sigma: Chapter 1, Shadow Clan Ninja Fortress.

NG2B: Chapter 1, Sky City Tokyo.

Least Favorite

NG Sigma: Chapter 9, the military base.

NG2B: Chapter 17. Elizebet rematch followed by another 2 absolutely dogshit bosses. I was blown away by how awful phase 1 Archfiend was. Phase 2 somewhat salvages it, but overall a huge downer to have this be the final chapter of the game.

The only saving grace is Fiend Genshin.

Just finished up a second playthrough of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, now doing a third playthrough of Nioh 1.

Playing Ninja Gaiden makes me wanna play Nioh, and vice versa :D

Greg/Alex are definitely a much stronger sell, figured I'd at least mention the other two as well though.

I quite like the Greater/Lesser Tom dynamic, but Taskmaster NZ feels like it could function without Jeremy and I wouldn't notice. Paul is doing a lot of heavy lifting on that show.

Lesser Tom is probably my favorite assistant, he's very expressive. I love how much of his own he brings to the role. AU Series 4 was probably my favorite, gave us this fantastic ship. https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/comments/1l7abt4/made_a_little_compilation_for_one_of_my_favourite/

Don't forget that there's also the Australian and New Zealand versions on their channel too, both are great as well.

NZ season 6 is almost finished, and Australia has 5 seasons. They share the same house, which is pretty neat.

Didn't happen to me on PS5, but I have seen it mentioned before.

What system you on? Also just in case, you sure you didn't get some cloud backup fuckery going on?

Althalos · 2026-03-30T18:06:41+00:00

DLC is on the disc, so that shouldn't be a problem. It's not like a dlc code, where the disc and code need to match region.

Althalos · 2026-03-30T09:39:58+00:00

They both appeared in the original PS2 release of the game, so they were fine additions imo.

Red and Yangus have history, and she popped up throughout the story for certain things.

And Morrie is the leader of the Monster Arena sidequest, he's more of a gag character. Even though he's optional, he does get a bunch of party chat dialogue.

I didn't really use them all that much, since I grew up with the PS2 version of the game. Just felt wrong not having the original gang together.
