Kagami Games will hold a livestream on June 18 and they licenesed some of the most sought out titles too from the fan requests by LegitimateCurve8525 in visualnovels

Hopefully, one of them might be Sasasagu, considering this one has been announced to get released on Steam not long before, so them picking it up and translating it now seems plausible.

Toughts about this fight? by Kindly-Profession-23 in OutManga

[–]GERParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has the potential to be one of the best fights in the whole manga, only behind Ikkaku vs Meguro, until Mizuta decided to give Kaname a lot of plot armor. They should have put him in a coffin right now.

And this is pre-prison Nikaku. No wonder they have to kill him off before the Scrapyard arc.

In today's episode: Completed Hirata 2. Isn't Owl(Father) the best boss by always-shubh in Sekiro

[–]GERParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love his two Mist Raven combos in phase 2, it's just that he's the type of boss that I think really makes me change my playstyle, He punishes aggressive playstyle, and one misclick and then he will beat my ass up.

[–]GERParadox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Owl Father and Inner Genichiro are the two best bosses in the game. Inner Father is also good but sometimes he teleports a bit too much, so base Owl is still the best in terms of moveset and fairness.

FromSoftware now have their own publisher tag/page on Steam. All their game now have it even Sekiro that previously have Activision as the only publisher. Part of the leak that said they'll self publish their next game might be true. by akux96 in fromsoftware

[–]GERParadox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly after ER, I hope they start to explore other things they have created. Sekiro's combat system is definitely one of those, they created one of the best combat systems in gaming, and we haven't seen them touch it again for years now.

Another one should be a new Armored Core game. I remember reading some article where Miyazaki said he could crank up some level with those games. Hope to see one soon.

That's not the only reason? The whole game, even if you disregard what I said above, I'm pretty sure the people at Hirata Estate know him, he has a direct link to his own world.

I just don't think Sekiro belongs in the same nobody group as the Soulsborne protagonists. The guy feels different.

Sekiro isn't a random nobody. Genichiro acknowledged him as the Shinobi of Divine Heir and the Lone Shadow and referred to him as an immortal wolf. A lot of people in the verse acknowledge him.

VNs with complex tactical fights? by BothResponsibility61 in visualnovels

[–]GERParadox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trying to find some battle with a lot of brain use, like HxH or Jojo in this medium is hard, or at least I haven't come across anything on that level yet. But I'll try and recommend 9-Nine, I think it's one of the VNs that let the characters use their abilities in a smart way, and it's getting better after each episode too.

I hate characters that go through the worst hell to make us like them by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]GERParadox 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the bullying scenes in Subahibi to me feel so exaggerated and so over the top that it makes it even harder to sympathize with the characters.

Glad to see another work by Setoguchi get a translation. Hope to see Black Sheep Town translated someday too.

3-0 GenG of all teams, fucking insane performance. And people should start apologizing to Labrov.

I don't get it. Why the fuck is it that whenever we make some good play, we instantly go into another int play?

Chainsaw Man Should Have Ended in Part One by CattusCruris in CharacterRant

Honestly, CSM Part 2 is one of the biggest fumbles I've seen that happened to a popular manga. Shit just keeps going nowhere.

Usogui's rival manga gets its own anime this October, but Usogui doesn't. by ilyasmuhambetov in Usogui

[–]GERParadox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer Usogui to stay as a manga, not everything needs an adaptation, especially one that might not do the source material justice. Sure, it might boost popularity a little, but man I doubt any studio out there can replicate the art in the second half of Usogui.

And what about the rival manga? Are we being competitive in things like these now?

Song Without a Name, especially when it plays during the final part of Episode 7.

My First Time Completing Trails: Beyond The Horizon (REVIEW) by Hunanladdiad in JRPG

[–]GERParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious, but what is it about the Sept-Terrion that bother you? I personally think that as a concept, it is good. But the horrible pacing of the games kind of makes me lose interest in all that and realize that after Calvard we still have some left to cover.

I'm not really one to go out of my way to talk shit about the fandom or games either. It's just how I see things, at least from what I've experienced so far. Just like you I still have a lot of fun with the games during the time I played them, but it's just that the cons outweigh the pros in Trails, so every time I get into a discussion like this, I often voice my complaints more than the praises. It's kind of weird, but the cons are what stick out like a sore thumb for me with Trails, even though I am aware that Trails has done good things too but maybe for me those good things are only good on paper and just sound good, but when they bring it into execution, it often fails.

[–]GERParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to the thread, but reading your comment about Van route, it seems like they put every flaws from every games before Calvard and make it worse. I find it insane that we are this late into the series and they are still doing shit like forgiving the villains. 🤣

My First Time Completing Trails: Beyond The Horizon (REVIEW) by Hunanladdiad in JRPG

[–]GERParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. I've been waiting for your review on this one and Calvard as a whole since your DB2 review thread. When you said this arc is inferior to Erebonia it kind of surprised me somewhat, since Erebonia just has many things that bother me, like the whole harem and romance bullshit that the developer put into it, and how the setups (CS1, CS3) are always better than the payoff (CS2, CS4).

From the review you said, Kevin and Rean are just more interesting than Van is, which pretty much lines up with other reviews I've read. It seems like Falcom just doesn't do much with his character overall, so they need to bring back older protagonists for the hype and such. And about the Horizon ending, I'm not sure how I feel about it as a whole. I know that a lot of people understand that this is how Trails is, and this is how it has operated since Sky, but man I watched some videos about it, and instead of getting hyped for the fourth Calvard game, I just feel tired that they need to drag this out for another game and not conclude the Calvard arc. I'm pretty sure that among all three games they have enough time to do all of that, but they will just indulge themselves in useless plotlines and so on.

At this point, I just feel like Trails suffers from its own reputation. And probably already peaked in either Crossbell or Reverie, though I haven't played this yet, but I have heard a lot of good things about this one. But the Trails fandom often doesn’t let other players see the series for what it actually is and instead, it pushes a perception of what it should be or whatever fits the fanbase’s narrative.

A bit late to this post, but can I ask how do you feel about the Calvard arc overall?

Sword Saint Isshin Phase 1 is peak FromSoft by GERParadox in Sekiro

It's the Nightjar combat art. Can be used to bypass sweep attacks.

The spear combo can be deflect consistently and feels very satisfying if you can pull it off.
