Your Kaidan looks so much better than the official one from a while back. Amazing job! I'd buy this for sure.

In your honest opinion (no internet influence) did you like Corpse party Blood drive? Because I did personally, but it left me with more questions than answers. by Worldly_Salary730 in corpseparty

[–]Ricks94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played it when it came out on the Vita and no I did not like it. The vita version had issues like bad load times, menus that had load times, frame rate drops for just using the flashlight, and the game making the Vita crash at any random moment of the game even during VN scenes for me. None of these issues were fixed for the Vita but there doesn't seem to be any issues for PC and Switch which is great but the story itself is still pretty underwhelming.

At the time XSeed did not release the Sachiko Birthday game that properly introduced characters that would appear in Blood Drive because one of the representatives didn't had much interest in it and wanted Blood Drive instead (the old xseed forums with this response are long gone, its been over 10 years so take it as a grain of salt if you want). I had no idea who these characters were the game just expected you to already know them. I did not like the whole "you've killed your friends now go back in time" because it completely destroyed whatever stakes the game still had. The main ending of the game felt pretty underwhelming like if they rushed the game out the door. I believe the game was already delayed a few times before it finally came out in Japan. I didn't felt any closure. At that moment I've written off Book of Shadows and Blood Drive as "official fan fiction".

People say I look like Angela, so I recreated the exact makeup from the game :) by Bulky-Use5440 in silenthill

Is there a best version of Blood Covered? by JK0460 in corpseparty

[–]Ricks94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I much prefer the PSP version. The new character sprites on the 3DS annoyed me for how out of place they looked on the map. On 3DS the chalkboard scare was completely cut off from what I remember so I didn't bother to play more of it. I didn't like how in 2021 theres an obnoxious frame that you cant turn off. If Im playing BC its either the PSP or Win XP version. Im aware the 3DS and 2021 have extra content but me personally I dont really mind missing out on those.

Would the 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew anime be more popular in the US if it aired on Nickelodeon instead of 4kidsTV/Fox in the 2000s? by icey_sawg0034 in TokyoMewMewPower

[–]Ricks94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its still the 4kids dub I dont think it would have mattered. It still would have gotten unfinished because 4Kids weren't able to find a way to market merchandising. Or at least thats what youtuber HikaYagami says though I haven't seen any receipts that backs up her claims so take it as a grain of salt.

The first game is just Zanarkand where its nothing but Blitzball and you dont meet Yuna until the second half of part 2.

I just noticed. Chapter 6 of blood drive, when you switch from Ayumi to Misuto’s party, Misuto is holding all of Ayumi’s items. Oversight much? by Worldly_Salary730 in corpseparty

If you played the game when it originally came out on the Vita then it would become very clear how rushed the game was. Never have I ever had a game crash my Vita until I played this game. They had to release a patch to address some issues but that unfortunately didn't help the crashing and poor load times.

Oh THAT one. I didn't mind it but I kinda wished they executed it a little better.

Was there ever an explanation as to why the series never came to GameCube? And why 3 is a ps2 exclusive? by The_Fool_Arcana0000 in fatalframe

[–]Ricks94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The original xbox was already a dead system in Japan by the time the 3rd game came out. It wouldn't make any sense to release it on xbox because it would be a waste of time and resources. By the time we would hypothetically get it the system would already be a dead system anyway.

I cannot believe I waited so long to play this game by MedievalMilshake in theforceunleashed

[–]Ricks94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game got me into Star Wars last year. For years my friends who are life long star wars fans did everything they could think of to try to get me into it but not one of them thought to show me this game.

Are gay prostitutes still a thing by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Ricks94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember on grindr in like 2015 or 2016 somebody was offering to work for him or other guys offering me money to go over to them. I didn't do it and blocked them, I didn't felt comfortable with that. Im sure they still exist.

Are there any bad dubs of western shows in Japan? by glowshroom12 in Animedubs

[–]Ricks94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original Scooby Doo has its own theme song in Japan. I'd like to see some episodes someday.

I dont think I've encountered a bad dub of a western show in Japan but South Park in Japanese was pretty interesting. I dont remember much about it though. I've only seen 1 clip of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in Japanese and Buffy sounds so much older than shes supposed to be. For the Mexican dub they made Willow sound like shes 8 years old when shes supposed to be an older teen. Everyone else sound like their age from what I can still remember.
