resurfacing bog monster post
hello i am just dropping in to say 'yes i am here, lurking, always.'
i have been playing a lot of Persona Q lately. thoughts: it's graphically lovely and i wasn't expecting that, gdi i want Minato and Yu to be loser protagonist boyfriends so bad, teddie is unbearable as he has been distilled into a creature that obnoxiously hits on women and occasionally makes bear puns. it is much worse that it sounds. also the dungeon crawling is legitimately fun; I've never played the etrian odyssey games but if this is what they're like--mapping huge labyrinths, puzzles that actually require you to write the clues down so that you can work through them later, and turn-based combat where turn management is really important--then I should get around to playing them at some point.
i was playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for awhile, but I burnt out on that after a few weeks and just ended up playing more Borderlands 2. It's not that the pre-sequel is bad, necessarily; it just...isn't as good as 2, and the writing is really uneven, moreso than in 1 or 2. I'm still trying to decide if it was 'ambitious' or 'hackish.' I dunno, maybe the writers were trying to make people think about what 'morality' means in a universe where nearly every human being is despicable by normal means, OR they were trying to go for the tried-and-true 'descent into darkness' storyline but forgot that nobody wants to see Jack as morally ambiguous.
it's a good game but i feel like it's not, like, $60 good, especially if you have unplayed campaigns or characters in the first 2 games.
i was planning on putting a few more things here but wow suddenly i'm exhausted. gn dreamwidth you're still cool.

Oh my Vita is hungering for that like there is no tomorrow. Yu is the dancing king. I gotta say I don't get what all those people are saying about Vita being a dead system. I've been loving mine.
