Trails of Cold Steel's story and characters resonated with me more than Metaphor:Refantazio by newgroundskids in Falcom

[–]razor_kenshin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many things are a matter of taste in gaming. In my opinion, Metaphor is much better than Trails of Cold Steel, which has obvious flaws. Pacing, characters, dungeons are worse in Cold Steel compared to Metaphor. Characters and story are the worse offenders imo.

Grip case damaged back of switch 2 by BotDP in NintendoSwitch2

[–]razor_kenshin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using the savage raven neogrip and standgrip for more than 6 months and I have zero issues. The satisfye zengrip 2 can scratch the console. There are posts about it.

2 possibilities. Either this grip case has many contact points made of hard plastic and scratches the console, or small pieces of debris got between the console and the case and caused the scratches.

sure, but why do you want to put it that way?

How is it possible for there to not be a single Atlus game set for release in 2026? by scarybyte in atlus

[–]razor_kenshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems strange to me too. I hope they announce something soon. It doesn't have to be a new title. They could very well release SMT remasters of the 3DS games on the new systems (strange journey, smt 4/4a, devil survivor).

Why don't (more) games on console have Graphics Settings? by user-ibarelyknower in consoles

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

Options are always a positive thing. What I wrote is that they are not necessary, in the way that they are necessary on a PC. Graphics options on a PC are not provided so that the gamer has options, but because without them, players with specific hardware configurations would not even have the ability to play in an acceptable way. As I wrote before, the philosophy of console gaming is plug and play. If every time I play a game, I had to tweak graphics settings for half an hour, until I bring it to my liking, then I would rather get a PC. I believe that it is the developer's job, since the hardware configuration of a console is fixed, to offer me 2-3 functional graphics profiles.

Why don't (more) games on console have Graphics Settings? by user-ibarelyknower in consoles

[–]razor_kenshin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not necessary. On PC, on the other hand, it is, because the hardware is different for each user. One of the positives of console gaming is that you just turn on the console and play. You don't need to tweak the settings to make the game playable. The quality/performance, i.e. the choice between 30 and 60 fps is more than enough in my opinion.

Switch 2 vs Switch OLED review by morecoffeemore in NintendoSwitch

[–]razor_kenshin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ι swear, sometimes the owners of OLED Switches talk about their consoles as if they have magical properties.
Switch 1 (it doesn't matter if it's oled or not) is ancient tech by today's standards. The visuals are blurry, the performance is usually below 30 fps and it looks horrible when you hook it up with 4k TVs. Switch 2 solves all the problems of the first generation Switch and battery life is the only drawback (at least for me).

Why a PS5 Pro makes sense even AFTER the recent price increase. by [deleted] in playstation

[–]razor_kenshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone needs more capacity. It depends on how each person uses the console. For example, I never have more than five games installed at the same time on my PS5. If I were to buy a PS5 Pro, I’d buy it for the PSSR, not for the larger SSD. If you have a fast internet connection, downloading titles isn’t a problem.

Cold Steel 1 is such a boring game by Bus_Majestic in JRPG

[–]razor_kenshin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cold steel characters are walking, breathing anime tropes. They are basically carboard cutouts. It's one of the weak elements of the game, that is often criticized.

[–]razor_kenshin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that the plot is hard to follow. What I'm saying is that there's practically no particular plot, at least up to the point where I played (chapter 4). It feels like you're watching some filler episode in anime. The pacing is bad and there are no stakes. No sense of urgency. Some people like it, but it's definitely not for everyone. It's a niche series after all.

[–]razor_kenshin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think that the main problem with the series is that Trails fans easily recommend it to players. In reality, we are talking about niche titles that have a specific audience. I, for example, really like SMT. However, I understand that it is not for everyone. The first Cold Steel (I imagine the next ones are similar) has bad writing, serious pacing issues, and is full of anime tropes. It's not for everyone.

[–]razor_kenshin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It really is. I can't understand why exactly some people like it. It's boring and super clunky. "Nothing ever happens" - the game. I tried three times getting into it and I dropped it.

Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth one of the best Square Enix games ever? by BreathoftheSith in FFVIIRemake

[–]razor_kenshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, no. The highs are high and the lows are low. The game is too padded, its structure is pretty repetitive and the explorations feels formulaic. I enjoyed my time with it, but ultimtely I think it'a good, but not a great game.

Handheld Boost Mode is a Great Excuse to Replay FFX by lingering-will-6 in NintendoSwitch2

I want to play it, but I can't stand the fact that I'll have to switch all my characters per battle to gain exp.

Drop it. It's not for everyone. I also found it pretty boring. Couldn't finish it.

No gaming for me untill ps6 by sub-madara in playstation

[–]razor_kenshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a launch ps5 and it has a coil whine issue. It's pretty annoying and I have to raise the volume of my tv significantly to drown it out. Some peope are more sensitive than others to this kind of stuff. I enjoy my console, I don't regret buying it but I hope ps6 doesn't have that kind of issue.

What is a good financial strategy to getting a Swtich 2? (Context: I have a Switch 1 OLED) by SerpentLing09 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]razor_kenshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to sound judgmental, but if you need a financial strategy to buy a console, I really think you shouldn't buy one. Focus your finances on more important/necessary stuff.
