I see you behrauder have given it a 10, it seems like you, emajakolic also enjoys this, and for me personally, it's probably on my bottom 5 anime, excluding the ones i've dropped.

I don't get what you see on this anime, it just feels awful. It's a mafia/yakuza anime except that the yakuza are maid cafes, and it's just complete and utter nosense for the rest of the anime. I get this is also a comedy anime, that it's supposed to feel absurd, but it's not entirerily comedy, the tone of the anime really gets serious past a certain point, and it's those segments I hate the most

One thing is having absurd comedy, another is making the anime up as you goe, and given that this is a anime original, it's no exaggeration. Like really, nothing has more than 1 episode of developement in this anime, if something happens it's either set up on the asme chapter or it's just handled really badly. There really isn't any real plot to this anime either, there isn't any goal they're working for, any real big bad, the anime kinda just ends at a certain point and it's not satisfactory at all.

the characters are also really poorly written. In episode 1 the protagonist signs up for being a maid at a maid cafe, then later sees her coworker literally murder someone in front of her eyes and then has to run out of an armed conflict, this literally causes her PTSD as we have scenes on episode 2 of her seeing like food being cooked and she being reminded of what she saw, and then, when she's about to escape, another character has like a motivational speech where she basically tells her "the outfit is cute tho, you wanted that right", and this somehow convinces her that everything is alright, she stays and her PTSD is healed, she never really questions this reality and way of life ever again in the anime.

And it's just, maid cafes are so, so romanticized in this anime. You would assume that for a anime that has yakuza be maid cafes they would be critical of these, but no, not at all, half the anime is THE GOAL OF A MAID IS MAKIGNG THE MASTER REALLY HAPPY BECAUSE THAT IS OUR LIFE OBJECTIVE AND LOVE WILL RULE OVER ANYTHING ELSE like bro wtf the salary isn't even that good

they're not even cute at all either, it's not a moe anime, so like, what the fuck at this point

A lot of characters are introduced, barely have screentime and then you're expected to care heavily for them. It really falls into a lot of tropes of other animes, like having a episode about them playing baseball but the baseball is wacky that i've already probably seen 3 or 4 times by now

also, like, a lot of the jokes just kinda feel like second hand embarrasement, I can't really say of any gag or anything that has really made me laugh either

This is going to the how could you do this to me tier.

i'm actually close to finishing sleeping dogs

I rated it a 10, but I would actually rate it a 9. Because it's an anime that mixes maids with mafia or something like that, I decided to give it 10, since if it weren't for it, there wouldn't be another anime like it.

Anyway, seeing you be so critical about things I've watched makes me question whether I have any sense of criticism at all. I don’t know how to feel about that. Just as it makes me appreciate the things I watch more, it also doesn’t sound like a good thing, I don’t know... my average score on MyAnimeList is 8.69, and a few months ago it was 8.67.

Still, you gave the anime a 5, which is further from 7.59 (the average rating of the anime on MyAnimeList) than the rating I gave it (10, but it would be 9), so I don't know.


I don't even know why I'm making this post, actually.

I force myself to give at least a 5 if I have been able to finish it, it honestly may be lower, and there is nothing wrong with enjoying things I don't, as long as you're enjoying things that's good, it's better to have a average score of 8.7 than one of 4.2, also yes, i'm in the minority for hating this anime lol

Just enjoy things, even if the reason for liking them is "I find it cool". No need to look or see Patatitta as some sort of quality media God.

Sleeping Dogs

this is it, this is what we've been waiting for, the first of two games axispraxis requested, which would prove this entire thread wrong and showcase I have a shit taste at videogames. I have witnessed TRUE KINO right here, and I wouldn't have wished any other game, this is the first past-S rank

nah i'm kidding game is pretty mediocre, did beat it in full tho, did not drop it

Sleeping dogs is basically an american yakuza/GTA clone released in 2012, it's abotu this undercover police agent who joins the triad of hong kong, but in the process, kinda betrays their police identity and goes full mafia, the story faces a little bit of the same problems GTA IV does, just on a lesser scale

the protagonist doesn't have that much of a personality, they just follow orders, they rarely do stuff based on their own volition, there are also multiple storyline that basically do not touch with each other, which idk if it's better or worse than having the chronology be a mess, like in GTA IV. And again, we face the same problem of, killing people only matters if it is in a cutscene, you can kil llots of civilians and that is not a problem, but kill one boss in a cutscene and dude wtf,,, you can't do that,,, you're going to get kicked out of the police and go to prision,,, in general the story is very bland, it doesn't really say anything or really do anything that hasn't been done better already

the combat is a replica of the combat system in yakuza but without any depth, like really, it's the same type of brawler combat, you also got your heat moves, I mean, environmental moves, can pick up weapons with limited durability and do special attacks with them, you also got your komechi moves, I mean, melee training moves where you have to do a special combat each time you unlock a skill in the skill tree. The difference is that the combat in yakuza often makes you think or at least feel really cool, while in this game that doens't happen

the combat is extremely easy, but that's not the bad part, the bard part is that the optimal way to play the combat is pretty boring. There are a lot of infinites you can do, thing is, most of these infinites won't led that much damage, and given that you're probably using the infinites on 1 on 1 battles, so, bosses, these have a lot of health and lead to very boring combats

but worry not, there is another way to cheese every single combat which is slightly less boring!, in this game there are counters, the counters are really easy to do and every move can be countered, also, if you're in a counter you're kinda immune to what happens around you, so why not just, don't attack so you never get into cooldown and just only attack by doing counters, this is slightly faster than doing infinits but it's still really boring.

there also points in the game where they just give you a gun, the gun combat is fine, except for some reason getting into cover is really weird and often I died or had to press ctrl multiple times for the game to register I want to go into cover

also, I don't really know why the protagonist doesn't wear a gun at all times?, like, you know you're getting into a fight anyways, why not bring a gun?, but what is even worse, is when you literally have a gun in the mission, a cutscene happens and you lose the gun for no real reason, like in the very final mission I reached the final boss with a gun, then the boss kicks me and I drop my gun and then they run and it's a chase sequence, my question is, why didn't the game allow me to pick the gun from the floor and just shot him???, like, it would have cut the entire final boss lol, if you're going to remove my gun at least make it make sense

this game is full of inconsistencies like that, in the penultimate mission in the game your character is FUCKED, and there is a really cool segment, probably the best segment of the game where your body barely responds and your vision is doing funny things and you have to like do two kills in that state, then you hit a loading screen and like your character is at 100% power already and i'm like what

the driving segments feel pretty bad at time, it's not fun for cops to literally pop into existance during a escape sequence, the car hijack doens't really work properly half the time, and everything has an incredible rubberbanding

it also has a lot of random collectables across the map that just works to make the playtime longer if you're aiming for 100%.

it's just a very bland open world AAA game, just play yakuza man, placed in D tier

Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005 version)

it starts being fairly solid, it falls of starting the second half and the last quarter is just painful

NFS 2005 is a very arcade style driving game, there is basically no plot, just do the races which is the fun part of the game and just mess around and do cool stunts and stuff. This is not the type of game I cover in this thread, but honestly I kinda wanted to do this one

The game starts with a lot of FMV cutscenes which I very much enjoy, and it basically sets the objective of the game, climb a ranking and defeat razor, since they sabotaged your car making you lose everything. That's about as far as the story goes, the rest of the gameplay loop is just doing the races and other tasks you need to meet the quota to race the next rival and do that until you get to razor

The car controls are pretty good, I never had much of a problem with the car being little responsive or whatever, the tracks are cool, lots of shortcut opportunity and I think they're well designed, but man, the meta progresion of this game is god awful

the idea is that after each rival or each race you improve your car, this requires money, you're also expected to upgrade said car, all of this is fair game, the problem is that money is sparse and this game is also REALLY punishing for doing the wrong choices

You don't really have a steady source of income in this game, you really can't farm it, you have a max ammount of races you can do, you can also do races from previous tiers to gain a little bit extra, but you're never swimming on it. If you buy a car and upgrade it, you're probably going to run out of money. If you try to sell the car, you only recover half the money you put into it, which means, if you spend all your money in a car, and that car just turns out to not be that good, you're just fucked and the game is going to be 20 times harder for the rest of the tier. Like really, the difficulty of the game is defined by how well do you invest your money. It's an awful system that I personally would solve by just giving you 100% refund

So let's say you save a lot of money and buy yourself what is probably the best car you can get at that point in the game, how does this affect your gameplay?, it doesn't due to rubberbanding. Fast cars only help you to not fall behind, however, if you're already winning, a way faster car will just mean you're winning the exact same ammount. It's extremely obvious this is happening too, I remember, on one race, radar race, I did the first corner really badly, I get 140km/h, second place gets 130, and i'm like, oh i'm fine, I lose that race, I do the first turn but really good this time, I get 200km/h, I go like "oh I got a big lead now", second place has 190km/h, that is just demotivating, why would you put effort to get good at driving is such effort isn't rewarded?.

Another problem I have with the progression is just that a lot of things aren't explained. For example, the nitro button on controller for some reason is unbinded at first, I thought I just couldn't use nitro yet. Acceleration races were also very confusing at first, I think I had to rebind stuff too.

On the topic of acceleration races, they suck. Basically they're really short races where the difference is that you must do the stickshift of the car yourself, you're just mainly focusing on that, so the car just goes a predefined path, you don't need to steer, just make sure you change gears at the correct time, you can slightly steer the car but it's not vital except it is because ALWAYS the route that the game chooses is one that crashes directly with 40 different cars except the light steer they allow you to do isn't enough half of the time so the only way to dodge is to go faster except that doesn't seem to do any difference because if you accelerate faster the traffic will too so like what the fuck, also they barely give any money so it's really not worth it to do

A thing the game requires you to do in order to fight the bosses are police chases, you need to increase your wanted level as well as doing diverse tasks, this fucking sucks. First of all, the wanted level isn't tied to your character, it's linked to your CAR, so if you were to I don't know, sell your car so you can get a better one, that means you got to farm the police chase on the double. Also the tasks in police chases aren't skill things, they're just time consuming, they're things like "crash into 15 cop cars", "Survive for 6 minutes". Specially that later one got so bad that I was booting up cheat engine to speed up the game so I would get over it faster. Escaping from the police is also RNG dependent, i've seen cop cars spawn on me when i'm hiding. Also the cops have rubberbanding too because fuck you

Also, this game has 15 tiers, 15 blacklist levels, after like the first 4 you've seen all the has to offer, the rest is just more of the same.

Placed in D tier.

the OST is okay, didn't mention it but the game tries to aim for a really urban really "cool according to teens in the early 2000" feel but it didn't really resonate with me that much

The nitro boost situation is a controller misconfiguration. By default, it should do that, but mid-2000s PC games always have weird issues with controllers and even now there are some rough spots. It's why Steam Input exists after all.

The cop chases are frankly the best part of this game and its main selling point. I do agree that they're kind of janky and the forced challenges are annoying, but the chases itself are, in my opinion, interesting and dynamic.

Yes. I would say starting at Level 3, they become aggro and fun.

ah, level three!!! i mean i could enjoy lots of things about the earlier heat levels but it was not nearly as dynamic as it would become after the suv was introduced to the police force during gameplay! i loved those chases so much... i remember playing specifically for that for hours, idk how long my longest chases were but it was a sweet faded memory from a more innocent childhood (...well, not exactly...)

finding the most fun routes to play with the pursuing cars as they got more aggressive and powerful,, trying my best to survive the most tense moments spent trying to escape incredible and ridiculous swarms i intentionally collected behind me, the music aaaghghfhfg i loved the music dearly too

anyway, the gameplay elsewhere was reasonably good and i loved customizing everything i could, idk if it was "objectively" great and a lot of my experience with it was super sentimentally-biased (and further influenced by current nostalgia) but... it is interesting to see how people view that game :)

Little Misfortune

It's not the first time I play a game like this, however, it was the first time in a long while, and it really did feel nostalgic, I really like this game

Little misfortune is a walking simualator/choose your own story game with a pretty cute artstyle, about a girl, little misfortune, who starts hearing a voice in her head to play a game, where at the end she will recieve eternal happiness

While the artstyle is cute, the actual environments aren't, it uses these very dull colors and grim scenarios, like for example, the story can be considered dark but our protagonist isn't really aware of it, since she is a child and she doesn't know any better, things like living in an abusive family for example. Not a new concept but honestly pretty well executed

The game also has some pretty dark comedy that I think is very well executed

The story is engaging, mainly because it creates a very mysterious atmosphere, and honestly it ended up being way better than I imagine it would be at first

The ending of this game is very abrupt, you walk through a door, expecting more, and the game just ends. However, just before that you have some massive lore drops, that puts into question the rest of the videogame, and that is because the game isn't as lineal or simple as you may expect, the monster isn't just a monster, as everything is very allegorical, very abstract. I'm not replaying the game, but I imagine that if you were to replay it you would start noticing a lot of small details that would explain the true story of the game. I think this works really well, the original "dark story but it's childish" is not a new concept, it's something you see, go "ah i'm familiar with it" and then accept it, as we already consider that to be a subvertion, you expected something childish but you got dark, so after that, you lower your guard, you don't expect the game to go further and it does and it hits

The game is very short actually, only being a couple of hours long, took me 2 hours and a half, and honestly, I wouldn't wish it to be longer, everything is so small and compact and crafted so carefully, it's good, also it makes it easier to replay the game, something that you may want to do after the end.

next: cold front

Cold Front

Short itch.io VN, it has a 2.5D perspective and a little bit of movement sometimes but it is a VN; at a more technical level there are some flaws, I had some lag spikes when I shouldn't have given the game is a VN and some sounds looped with the moment they looped being very apparent, howerver that didn't affect my enjoyement of the game too much

I really don't have much to say about this game, it's kinda cute which is what you expect from this type of game, the art is good (the author 100% draws yaoi), as I said very short, took me less than an hour to beat, while it has some horror elements that try to be psychological, the game isn't really about thinking, as everything is explained by the end, no room for interpretation, I think this is a good move as the game is much more focused on the feelings

not the best itch.io VN i've played but this was enjoyable

I know you've already mentioned how you're able to organise all this, but don't you get burnt out from consuming so much every day? Isn't there ever a moment where you can't really be fucked doing something requested in this thread?

Cold Front

Short itch.io VN, it has a 2.5D perspective and a little bit of movement sometimes but it is a VN; at a more technical level there are some flaws, I had some lag spikes when I shouldn't have given the game is a VN and some sounds looped with the moment they looped being very apparent, howerver that didn't affect my enjoyement of the game too much

I really don't have much to say about this game, it's kinda cute which is what you expect from this type of game, the art is good (the author 100% draws yaoi), as I said very short, took me less than an hour to beat, while it has some horror elements that try to be psychological, the game isn't really about thinking, as everything is explained by the end, no room for interpretation, I think this is a good move as the game is much more focused on the feelings

not the best itch.io VN i've played but this was enjoyable

Placed in C tier

oh i remember this one...! im glad to see its still meaningful to someone, it was neat :> i think i primarily loved the artstyle and the characters and their interpersonal dynamics, this had crazy good sense of art direction honestly from everything to backgrounds and color palettes and ui, it was satisfyingly sentimental and winnie & augustine were easy enough to sympathize with as more was revealed

but i did forget most of it like i do with nearly every game or piece of media

i remember dead plate too, i have vague memories of enjoying both of them during a lot of the dialogue and cg scenes but mostly held onto the parts nearest to the end like cold front's stairs and dead plate's manager and the Room

cool ^^

I mean, I don't care if you've read it physical, digital, legal, or illegal, as long as you've actually read it in full and not when you were like 5yo, it works for me

done, i ive read it, its really short really


Also, Can you play nfs carbon? Its a Sequel, I remember i play almost to the end, using my lil bro phone, using dolphin, but due to low fps and hard boss, i dont finished it

did you just read hell screen or one other?

Also I won't be playing any more NFS, I didn't like most wanted very much and I don't that opinion is going to change for the rest of the franchise
