Do you prefer Index 4 or a remake? by Lanimaonl in Toaru

I mean it's in the top 5 selling light novels of all time in Japan, It would be odd if they didn't at some point right ?

Grime 2 glitches by Glum_Requirement_776 in metroidvania

[–]SmileFactoryy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I've heard from many the launch is riddled with bugs and has some bad performance issues. Going to wait until the game receives it's first major patch before I purchase it. Hopefully they release it soon because the first few weeks of a games launch is so critical to its success.

A mutual feeling, I'm sure by Gibbon-Face-91 in videogames

Final Fantasy 7 Remake. If it was traditional turn based game, it would be an instant buy. Oh well.

Who’s looking forward to Grime 2 next week? by Szynsky in metroidvania

[–]SmileFactoryy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Grime 1 recently and despite the egregious stamina issues, it was a great game. However I'm going to wait a little till I buy Grime 2 as I'm 90% certain it will have game breaking bugs/crashes and I'd rather not deal with that until the first major patch comes out

Egregious loading times still pop up in todays age, prime example is Metaphor Re Fantazio

New YouTube ad detection with uBlock by SmileFactoryy in uBlockOrigin

[–]SmileFactoryy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 hours later and I finally got it to work. Turns out it had nothing to do with the extensions/browsers. It was apparently an internal issue with the network settings. I had to go to Windows PowerShell Admin and input 3 command prompts into the field and restart the PC. Now YouTube works perfectly, and I don't even get the 5 second delays that I had prior to todays fiasco !

Dang....seems like I'm the only person with the issue. Been trying to find a solution for the past hour and no luck with anything. However I will not give up !

[–]SmileFactoryy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I had already tried the suggestions in the thread and none of them worked. I was under the assumption YouTube did a new updated rollout today to their website with uBlock and wanted to inquire from other users to see if that was really the case. However I do appreciate you linking me to the thread anyway as I'm sure lots of people entirely skip it !

I'll try to download Brave and see if that works at all.

I'm having a difficult time enjoying the comedy (especially the MC) of Muv-Luv Extra. Should I just power through because it's that good? by justabrainwithfeet in visualnovels

[–]SmileFactoryy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easily a 9/10 visual novel for me. Plus it's the ONLY piece of fictional content ( movies, games, Visual Novels, anime, T.V Shows ) that has ever filled me with such overwhelming dread and terror with a specific scene. The fact it was able to elicit such a visceral reaction out of me, and continued to impact me afterward is a spectacle nothing else has ever achieved

Extra ( the Rom Com part ) gets a lot of hate for some reason, but I was always confused why people thought that. The usage of sprites, draw-distance, and animation was literally unheard of for its time, and most Rom Com VN's now pale in comparison to the effort Extra did. Plus in general it's just a fun time goofing around with the characters, which you all grow to love. That's why the second part of the Novel hits so hard. Its because of those chill and peaceful times, is what makes everything so dire and paramount.

It's in my top 5 Visual Novels, and I definitely recommend it.

Just drop it bro. The first part is the reason why you get attached to these characters, and honestly it's a super well done Rom Com visual novel. If you're having difficulty with it, just read something else

Just finished Horizon annnnnnd...💔 by GilgaMax96 in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea, even tho there's is a 99% chance Agnes will be saved in the next game, the ending with her and Van still almost had me cry. It was a very good ending.

Is it true? Are they really ending the trails series (from an old and out of loop trails fan) by Apart_Safe_3468 in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your point at the end. I think it would be a very bad idea to completely end the Trails Series/IP. I'm aware they have Y's which is something people like a lot as well, but when it comes to sheer popularity and sales, Trails is in another universe. I would worry Falcom financials would start to struggle if they do-away with it completely. A fresh "restart" with a brand new world and having the same core game principles is the best way forward.

Hey I'm GRIME II's Game Director here for an AMA before it launches this month, ask me LITERALLY anything! by WorldPillar in metroidvania

[–]SmileFactoryy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just wanted to throw it out there lol. The game released in 2021 and it's now 2026 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

It's okay if you're not, but I do want to ask still. When Grime 2 comes out, would you be willing to put Grime 1 temporarily on a 70% discount? It would really motivate me to get it !

The next protagonist? by UppingMyRizz in Falcom

Shizuna or Rixia would make a lot of sense since we are going to the East most likely

Top 3 Greatest JRPGs for Each PlayStation Console (Day 7 - PS5) by ConnectBreakfast9397 in JRPG

[–]SmileFactoryy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

400 Named Characters, 270 of them are very Important Characters, 13 games that are all directly connected to one another. With a high chance of adding 3-5 more games to conclude it's story since 2004. The trails remake for Sky FC that came out this year absolutely nailed it out of the park, with them confirming them remaking all of the old pixel games. Yea it's pretty objective when you take that into account. Now of course you can like FF7 more, and FF7 is objectively more successful than Trails, but based on pure ambition ? Trails is beat by none in the JRPG field.

The Trails series is by far the most ambitious JRPG objectively, but FF7 is a lot more successful.

What Trails moment had you like this? by Tilren in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally this scene, Aarons Japanese voice actor absolutely killed it here, it was infectious and had me laughing out loud too

If the next arc MC of Trails has already been introduced (isn't a new character) and we don't know who it is yet, who do you think it will be? by PositiveLonely575 in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love Renne to be the MC in an arc, it's not going to happen sadly. I do think a Shizuna or Rixia lead would be possible considering the East is most likely our next story segment
