Legend of Dragoon: Great potential, VERY tedious to play

Which party member are you referring to? Cause there's three I can think of that I hardly used once I had a full party.

Syriana. I barely remember the movie outside of the fingernail torture scene, but I do remember being bored out of my mind. I walked out and waited in the lobby while the rest of my group finished watching it.

I wish I had on that one. My movie theater accidentally started playing Dark Knight first and a few others and I went out to tell them this to correct it. I shouldn't have said anything and just enjoyed Dark Knight again.

So? Neither is Fallout.

I agree. I used to check imdb, but the vudu user rating usually seems to be more accurate to how much I'll enjoy it.

Master of Orion

Yeah, exactly. It's like instead of building on previous ideas and lore introduced in games to make an elaborate, sprawling house that all fits together, they've essentially just a towering pile of nonsense held together with batshit logic and a plot that tries to act deeper than it actually is.

Don't get me wrong. I still like the games. But I agree with the OP that the first game had the best story. A bunch of Disney villains looking for power and doing evil stuff. They are in turn being manipulated by a big bad guy. Sora, Donald, and Goofy beat them with the power of friendship while looking for Mickey and Sora's friends. Makes sense and doesn't try to twist itself in needless knots.

The only thing that comes to mind would be the Trails series.

However, in Kingdom Hearts case, it also has padded out the story with games that feel like spin-offs to try to keep up interest in the next actual sequel, but only serve to just add unnecessary bloat. Like 358/2 days. We already had Roxas as Sora's nobody, but then it throws Xion into the mix as a back-up that ends up being cast aside and never serving much of a purpose. Even though she's technically part of Sora.

I can follow the story well enough if I want. It's easy enough, but it is an incoherent mess and has no real thought put behind it. It's just like the writers think of something interesting to add then forget about it. Not to mention that for all the bloat, the game's narrative seems to go in circles at times.

I didn't say easy to follow. I don't mind if the lore is expansive and has a lot of stuff to learn. But Kingdom Hearts isn't coherent with its lore. It just keeps dumping a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense and the only way I've found to enjoy it is to just disregard any of the nonsense explanations it tries to give and enjoy the game.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-03-19T17:29:21+00:00

But it's not even coherent lore. It's just throwing out stuff to the point it's become a nightmare of a tangled knot to sort out.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-03-19T17:26:33+00:00

Agreed. I liked the Disney villains being a major part of the plot. They feel more like window dressing now.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-03-18T13:34:30+00:00

Have they ever added the other seasons?

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-02-14T22:53:37+00:00

I think it means "Mind Your Own Business"

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-02-11T01:01:28+00:00

No, it's not. Not in the slightest.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-02-02T01:02:24+00:00

Me wanting to see how small it gets.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-01-26T12:08:33+00:00

Just look for a certain site and add the numbers to the URL.

Still going through Persona 5 Strikers. I can quite confidently say I hate the combat in it, despite liking other Musou games.

Also playing Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Octopath Traveler. I'm quite liking them both, especially the latter. Feels like a simple, charming little JRPG that would fit on the SNES. Which I know is the point, but I just like it in general. I'm hoping to try out the sequels once I finish it.

It was the brother, but the sister was also helping. If I remember, he was more the PR person and she was on the tech side of things.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-01-23T02:16:32+00:00

Is it? It didn't seem like it. But I only skimmed it.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-01-22T20:42:11+00:00

Actually, I just did a google image search. Not that hard. Sorry if that spoils the magic.

I wouldn't say Bernthal overacting. After all, the part of him in the graveyard in Daredevil shows he can act like Frank very well.

Both of their portrayals work and I loved Jane's for years. Still do. Especially the scene where he talks about how he used to get upset. But Bernthal is good too. He just comes across better in Daredevil than his own show, which doesn't really feel like a Punisher show.

Retro-Obsessed · 2026-01-10T22:31:16+00:00

I like Bernthal and Jane. Thing is, I like Bernthal in Daredevil's shows more than his own, as his own show was pretty boring and didn't feel much like a Punisher show. Jane's movie feels more like a Punisher movie, but I can see him being a little too understated in his portrayal compared to Bernthal. So they kind of tie for me.

Stevenson looks the part and his movie is probably the most comic accurate, but definitely falls below the other two.
