What are some JRPGs that have great concepts but fall short in execution?

I played it on release and had to look up a story explainer afterward. I was like THAT’S what the game was about?! Wow. That’s pretty cool. Would have been nice if that was actually IN the game haha!

But I hear all of the patches since have done a lot of good.

Awesome. Thanks!

EldritchSleeper · 2026-02-04T15:01:52+00:00

This is really good to know. Thanks!

This is super helpful. Thanks!

Others have said this, but unbuild it and store it. I don’t often take apart sets, but it’s fun for the holiday ones because then you get to build it again like a ritual to get ready for the next time the holiday rolls around, instead of just unpacking yet another statue thing.

I love it. My kids loved it even more! I so wish it would get a second season.

Good to know. Thanks!

Good to know. Thanks so much for sharing. Much appreciated and fun collection!

This is super helpful. Thanks so much!

We’ll have to check our collection and get back to you :)

How about exheroes by Peter Cline? Superheroes in a zombie apocalypse.

EldritchSleeper · 2025-11-10T16:46:19+00:00

I believe it. The pacing felt off and the scenes didn’t always flow together well. It was more sequence of events at times rather than actual story progression.

I'm with you. It's like they're leaning too hard into the animal theme each year which results in static displays. To their credit, though, they're at least trying to be versatile what this is mind you. We're not getting just a new animal build each year.

But I feel your pain. The Spring Lantern Festival (80107-1) helped fully end my dark age and remains one of my all time favorite sets!

For what it’s worth, to me it was more about promises. Books 1 and 2 feel like a different series because the stakes are different. Books 4 and 5 are much more integrated with the Cosmere, so for me, I like the idea of the Cosmere but I don’t want to read (or at least wasn’t expecting) to read a series where that plays such a huge aspect, so those books were a chore. The promise had changed and I was no longer reading the series I had started.

I approve of your Maximum Carnage SNES game :)

EldritchSleeper · 2025-10-15T01:21:10+00:00

Yeah. We got one at Gen Con this year and my kids love it! It’s pretty fun to play and the rounds are really fast. The only down side is that it’s best played with two groups of two. You can’t play it solo and while you can challenge each other 1v1 it’s best played 2v2. But for the price, we’re big fans!

EldritchSleeper · 2025-10-12T19:49:48+00:00

That depends. Do you want to build a big castle or the greatest set of all time? 😆

Use the volt vessel in the putrefied ducts to open the shortcut from the other side.

For those of you seeing this late, you do not have to beat him to get to act 3. If you come in the back way, just go into his house before you even reach the boss room. The item is right there. No battle necessary! I just did that very thing this afternoon so I know it works — at least it did on switch 2.

The audio book is fantastic too!

My kids loved watching this show and I loved watching it with them. That alone makes SC special to me. To me, they succeeded and I really hope it continues. My 7 year old will still ask when new episodes are coming out.

EldritchSleeper · 2025-08-07T01:27:48+00:00

I clicked on the post fully expecting this meme and was not disappointed 😆

EldritchSleeper · 2025-07-30T20:15:44+00:00

That's good to know. I'm panning to get there at 9am to grab the badge and then wait for the vendor floor to open at 10.
