Ichigo Mashimiro
Starting in 2002, it's actually one of the first CGDCT manga/anime to exist, and honestly you can tell why the genre stuck around, ichigo mashimiro is quite good
Ichigo Mashimiro is a comedy manga, following five prepubescent girls with very marked personality, getting into silly situations, really, it's nothing new, but it's this way because in a way it kinda set, or at least helped to solidify the character archetipes and general style of story.
The characters are cute and the story is very light hearted, the fact that they're kids contribute to each one having such a marked personality while also being dumb as fuck, the comedy is very over the top, there is no real end goal for the manga, that's why it's still ongoing, you just read it to relax and have a good time
I don't really have much to say as it's a really basic manga and also I read it a long time ago, but yeah, I greatly enjoyed it, placed on A rank

Natsu e no Tunnel, Sayonara no Deguchi
typical short romantic anime, but i'm a sucker for this type of anime, and I thoguht it was beautiful
the anime is about this guy who meets this girl, both in bad family and life circumstances, and they become close, at the same time, they discover a tunnel that supposedly can grant any dream, however, it seems time in the tunnel passes much slower than in the outside, meaning a couple seconds in the tunnel are hours in the real world. The anime is as predictible as this type of anime can be, but honestly, I don't mind it.
The nature or origin of the tunnel is never explained, that is because it's not needed, the anime has a clear cut purposue and it wouldn't really make sense to dwell on such details.
The anime is about escapism and moving on, I can't say much without going into spoilers tho, the tunnel actually turns out to be a way to recover something that was lost, and since the girl didn't actually lose anything, she couldn't take advantage of it. However, that shows two different ways of dealing with a bad situation, one way is the one the guy took, of running away, wishing that things went back how they were at the start, versus moving on, and just trying to make a better future, one wishes to live in the past forever, and the other to make a future better than that past.
when put at it this way, it's obvious the guy is in the wrong, however, in the specific family circumstances he was in, given his age, and the fact that there is a fucking magical tunnel that can make dreams come true, I honestly don't think that logic really applies, I mean it's still a bad choice, but I don't think we can blame the guy for making such mistake, I feel everyone would have. Thankfully, the tunnel can be used multiple times, allowing him to come back and start a relationship with a girl despite the problematic 13 year age gap which you know really cute anime and shit but like that's something to take consideration of.
I think this anime is very effective emotionally. Both characters are far from stupid, and it's easy to empathize with their situation, to understand their decisions, which just makes all that ending segment all the better.

Deltarune chapter 3 (not the 4 didn't started it yet!)
Topic Starter
deltarune (up to chapter 4), spoiler tagging everything, just in case
Deltarune is a RPG that is kinda like a follow up to undertale but not really, created by toby fox and friends, and IMO, it's kino, it's kamige, it's peak, it's a 10/10, idk what more slang can I use
I already talked about undertale and length and toby fox very internet heavy way of writing, I recommend reading that first.
Deltarune, as it's commonly known, acts as a subversion of undertale, which at the same time was a subversion of the RPG genre, while undertale had many endings, deltarune apparently only has one, while in undertale frisk is just your typical mute character, kris does have a personality, and can even act without the player input, in fact, you also control a party like in more typical rpg
while all of these things would make it more similar to regular RPG's, somehow, it has just made toby fox games even more unique, you can even play other subversive RPGs like lisa or off, or even ones directly inspird by undertale like everhood, but deltarune is still unique. While it featuers elements that many RPG's share, deltarune does it different.
The writing style of toby fox of being very online also translates into plot decisions and the general mood of the game. First of all, it's rare to see a RPG set on a modern setting, even when it does, things like the internet or computers are rarely involved, hell, this even applies to most other games or movies.
We need to understand that the internet has probably fucked the entire world up and we live in a era never seen before in human history where no one knows what is going on and what we should do, in fact, most artistic mediums predate the invention of the internet, meaning, that like 90% of films or books, many pieces of arts that we consider masterpieces, were not created in a world where the internet existed.
The repercusions of this are still very much seen nowadays, writing stories in a post-internet world is hard, most typical plot devices and in general plot ideas don't work, it's harder to find good reference material, and it really requires a very different mindset.
Deltarune not only writes about these types of unusual topics directly, by you know, the obvious things of mentioning videogames or like the entire concept of chapter 3 playing retro games and whatever, but also indirectly. Toby fox is aware of fandoms, secret hunting, personal experiences and shared nostalgia in the internet age, etc, and it really, really shows.
For me, the standout aspect of deltarune is the chemistry between kris, ralsei and susie, and I honestly don't think that toby fox is just that fucking good at writing that they can blow any other artist in the past 100 years out of the water. I just think the way he handles writing hits home a lot more at least for our generation.
Like in undertale, the way the characters talk are how we talk via internet messages, it takes a lot of expressions and little jokes from internet comedy, it's not hard to see pararelisms between some visual gags and youtube animated videos. The character designs are also very much big contributing factors, being gender ambiguous and furry, it all adds to a very specific feel
Toby fox isn't asking for you to engage with it in a very specific way, instead, it predicts and prepares for the player to engage with it in many different ways. While there is apparently only one ending, there is still freedom of choice. There is A LOT of small details, like for example naming yourself "ass" in chapter 3, that triggers a interaction, deltarune is special in the sense that regardless of how you play it, you still feel "holy shit did he just do that thinking specifically on me or what is going on?"
the actually story structure of deltarune is also fairly unique. Deltarune is released on episodes, that is because toby fox and friends are still a indie studio and they take a really long time to finish each section of the game, however, the game is far, far from episodical. It's true that every chapter starts and ends a dark world, but it's still very much interconnected. Honestly instead of thinking of dark worlds think of it as section of the map in a open world game, or moving to a different area in typical rpgs. It's virtually the same
due to the distribution method, and the incredibly big fandom that has formed around the game, toby fox feeds the community a shitload of secrets to keep them entertained in the meantime, and not fall into a silksong situation where people are actually frustrated and pained by the developement cycle of that game. Deltarune has a lot, and I mean, a lot, of theorybait. Personally I don't really fuck with this all that much, I only pay attention to it in deltarune because I got emotionally invested at it on a early age where the games mean something to me and I really want to inmmerse myself on them as much as possible, but the way it's implemented is smart
most of the secrets are very much accessible ingame, there is some stuff that you need to datamine, but that mostly are just weird lines of dialogue. Undertale had the FUN value system to make sure you would trigger some specific weird shit in your playthrough, deltarune doesn't need it, because it's so infested by obscure secret, that you're bound to find something while playing blind just based on pure luck. Secret bosses, secret areas, extra dialogue, whatever, and as I said earlier, taht adds to the feeling of you feeling noticed ingame. The game preparing for you and you being able to find something that you know most people have missed or didn't trigger for them, that's cool. You can act like a furious fan and find everything and theorize until the next chapter comes out, or you can just play it blind and still interact with some secrets and be amazed by it
I can't say much on the actual plot of deltarune because it's not finished, it seems to be saying something about escapism and stuff but it's hard to really extract anything too deep until we see the full story. While chapter 4 is amazing on it's own right on how it sets everything up, how the characters evolve and stuff, it's still just that, one chapter
also deltarune has probably more comedy than 95% of videogames and it does it MASTERFULLY and I need more videogames trying to be funny
anyways already went for too long placed on S rank

Taxi (1998)
I actualy think I've seen like 5-10 minutes of this movie when I was a kid
anyways this movie was surprisingly boring. It's about this guy who is a reckless drivers and starts driving a taxi, first he does his job driving around people but then he gets involved with the police and some crime stuff.
While it is tagged as a comedy, I honestly didn't laugh much?, there aren't that many jokes and they're fairly spread out, and then those same jokes they're never anything too special nothing that really struck me and stayed with me. The actual stunt was funny the first time we saw the taxi's true form, but after that, it stops being surprising, and I feel the actual driving stunts takes a more serious approach
I don't understand what was the goal with the plot of the movie, it's neither facilitating comedy (maybe it did, and none of the jokes landed, tho I do think it taes itself more sriously than not, like for the example on one of the stunts, there they driving and they hide away to paint the car and then cross the border, that whole segment felt very serious), nor does it say any thing really interesting. It feels like a drama but ot does not havy any insightful commentary like a drama usually would
another thing I take issue with the movie is the actual feeling of speed. It may be beacuse I don't yet own a drivers license and am worse at judging speeds because of that, but whenever the first stunt was done, they reported that the speed was 210KM/H, and I was surprised, because it really did not feel THAT fast.
I blame this on the cinematography. If you look at most other movies where cars goes fast, even one as wacky as speed racer, there are many tricks employed to give the feeling of speed, the shaky camera, the close up of the characters, objects ouf of focus becoming blurry and distorted, the sound of the engines and the road, hearing soounds of the pedestrians or whatever only for them to be immediatly too far to hear. Taxi does nothing of this sort really. It just shows the cars going fast, which, while they may be going at the speed than what they advertised, it really doesn't giveyou that adrenaline and that actual feeling of speed
so yeah didn't really like it that much, placed on D rank

Things so far: 294
Idea stolen from sametdze, and inspired by the fact that I wrote more words than I should have about ned flanders in the AYA thread by also sametdze
give a book, a movie, an anime or manga (or even a videogame) and I will do my best to complete it and write a little essay about it. Or just about single characters or concepts. I have time on my hands and I think I may be able to do it (but please, be something that you yourself have played/read/whatever)
WHAT I DON'T ACCEPT:
-Horror (may be exceptions but generally not)
-Music (I'm not into music and I wouldn't have much to say other than I liked it/not)
-Plot-light videogames (I mostly know how to speak about and i'm interested in talking about the narrative side of things, if the only real thing I can talk about is gameplay design I may not have that much to say)
-Really long stuff (For videogames, make it nor surpass 15 hours in howlongtobeat, I generally do exceptions depending on the length of the queue, for anime, keep it under 50 episodes)
-Fandom heavy content (If you need to be part of a fandom to really enjoy or understand something, don't request it)
-Youtube heavy content (Things that one normally interact with via youtube videos, for example, an ARG, no one solves an arg by themselves, you just watch the video about how it got solved, I'm not interested in doing this sort of stuff. I also dislike things that are with the idea of baiting youtube videos or whatever, i'm not matpat, don't expect me to analyze hello neighbour or fnaf)
-ecchi/harem/sexual stuff (i'm not doing this thread to get horny)
-autobiographical stories (feels bad to criticise) these)
as an added requirement, PLEASE have played the game/read the book/etc yourself, don't request things you yourself haven't experiencedRequests status[CURRENTLY READING]: nothing rn
[CURRENTLY WATCHING]: nothing rn

Wait, it looks like Machikado Mazoku hasn't been recommended yet... let me fix that.
Machikado Mazoku.
Also: Joshiraku, Flying Witch, Amaama to Inazuma, and Asobi Asobase.
By the way, how many anime can I recommend at once? If I can recommend more, I'm also curious to know your thoughts on Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou, Charlotte, Endro~!, and Yuyushiki (I had given Yuyushiki a 6, but I'm still interested in what you think of it).

i've already seen read machikado mazoku/and flying witch, will write about them in a will, also, while there is no limit to how much you can request, the more you request the more picky I get, so out of those I will watch endro and maybe asobi asobase

Machikado Mazoku
In my humble opinion, this is probably the best magical girl anime.
Magical girl anime isn't currently on it's best foot. While animes like sailor moon and cardcaptor sakura are extremely famous and culturally important, magical girl as a genre never became that mainstream, at least not to the point we would have a third anime to name in that sentence,
Magical girl anime basically acted as combat shounen for women, combat shoujo if you will. And honestly, they were really fucking good, probably some of the best shounens ever IMO. They were also very ahead of it's time with art and didn't fall into the pittraps most shounens fell in.
Part of the essence of those magical girl anime was how over the top where they were their feminity, every scene was covered in flower, all the guys were hot, they used the powers of love and friendship, etc. All of that made magical girls feel a lot more sweet and light than shounens, where they were supposed to be raw and male, and I think machikado mazoku may be the best at translating that same energy into a modern magical girl anime
Machikazo mazoku is a magical girl slice of life/comedy where this girl wakes up and discovers she is a demon and that her family had been cursed to live with very few money each month, one of her classmates turns out to be a magical girl, whose job is to erradicate demons, then, the goal of shamiko, the protagonist is to try to defeat momo, the magical girl. However momo turns out to be really nice and like doesn't do her job as a magical girl as she refuses to kill her.
here we have all the elements that really composed old magical girl anime in a modern setting, all translated into a new genre (slice of life/comedy), and it really works, the essence is very much there, it's as fluffy, cute, and feminine (like this anime is also borderline yuri) as older anime, and it really works REALLY well, since thoe are elements that also work REALLY well in a slice of life
slice of life really benefits of all that cute fluffy stuff, since most slice of life already try to achieve something similar. You can also add small jokes subverting typical tropes like transformation scenes and again, just really works
I want to also compare machikado mazoku to madoka magica, because in my opinion, both have a similar goal in a certain sense. Both are adapting magical girls to the modern day, however, while machikado keeps the essence, madoka doesn't
madoka is supposed to subvert your typical magical girl anime and make it dark and adult and whatever, but by doing that I think it really kills that essence of magical girl
so yeah I fucking love machikado mazoku A rank (was considering S rank for a bit tho)
-----------------------------
Flying witch
read the manga for this one, I enjoyed, I also don't remember a lot from it
Magical witch is about this girl who moves to a more traditional and rural town, with the goal of training to become a witch, and I think it's quite good
the manga is very much a iyashikei, meaning it's meant to be really relaxing, and I think it's quite good at this. Again, magic in slice of life is very much a proven concept. I feel the cultural perception of witches have slowly switched away from the inquisition and them being bad and deadly and whatever to the lo-fi studying girl.
Magic is just fun, and people want to write about magic and fantasize about magic in non/combat scenarios, in a way there is a paralellism here to machikado mazoku. Very broadly,wWitches are the female version of a male wizard, and while wizards are almost imagined in high fantasy, action scenarios, casting fireball and the such, witches instead have evolved to mostly be present in more modern scenarios (while the towns are still rural, the actual timeframe witches story take up nowadays are mostly modern times), and for them to be mostly non/action.
So yeah, flying witch just really delivers on that modern wish of wanting to just live a slow and relaxing life casting spells, I once again, greatly enjoyed. Placed on A rank.
Next: Endro~!

Machikazo mazoku is a magical girl slice of life/comedy where this girl wakes up and discovers she is a demon and that her family had been cursed to live with very few money each month, one of her classmates turns out to be a magical girl, whose job is to erradicate demons, then, the goal of shamiko, the protagonist is to try to defeat momo, the magical girl. However momo turns out to be really nice and like doesn't do her job as a magical girl as she refuses to kill her.
here we have all the elements that really composed old magical girl anime in a modern setting, all translated into a new genre (slice of life/comedy), and it really works, the essence is very much there, it's as fluffy, cute, and feminine (like this anime is also borderline yuri) as older anime, and it really works REALLY well, since thoe are elements that also work REALLY well in a slice of life
slice of life really benefits of all that cute fluffy stuff, since most slice of life already try to achieve something similar. You can also add small jokes subverting typical tropes like transformation scenes and again, just really works
I want to also compare machikado mazoku to madoka magica, because in my opinion, both have a similar goal in a certain sense. Both are adapting magical girls to the modern day, however, while machikado keeps the essence, madoka doesn't
madoka is supposed to subvert your typical magical girl anime and make it dark and adult and whatever, but by doing that I think it really kills that essence of magical girl
so yeah I fucking love machikado mazoku A rank (was considering S rank for a bit tho)
-----------------------------
Flying witch
read the manga for this one, I enjoyed, I also don't remember a lot from it
Magical witch is about this girl who moves to a more traditional and rural town, with the goal of training to become a witch, and I think it's quite good
the manga is very much a iyashikei, meaning it's meant to be really relaxing, and I think it's quite good at this. Again, magic in slice of life is very much a proven concept. I feel the cultural perception of witches have slowly switched away from the inquisition and them being bad and deadly and whatever to the lo-fi studying girl.
Magic is just fun, and people want to write about magic and fantasize about magic in non/combat scenarios, in a way there is a paralellism here to machikado mazoku. Very broadly,wWitches are the female version of a male wizard, and while wizards are almost imagined in high fantasy, action scenarios, casting fireball and the such, witches instead have evolved to mostly be present in more modern scenarios (while the towns are still rural, the actual timeframe witches story take up nowadays are mostly modern times), and for them to be mostly non/action.
So yeah, flying witch just really delivers on that modern wish of wanting to just live a slow and relaxing life casting spells, I once again, greatly enjoyed. Placed on A rank.

I also think the anime is very good, but I think it's arguable that it could be considered a parody of the genre (or at least close to it). If the best magical girl anime is actually closer to a parody than to the classic genre, that would be kind of sad...Patatitta wrote:
Machikado Mazoku
In my humble opinion, this is probably the best magical girl anime.
Also, shoujo anime is by definition supposed to attract more women than men, which is not the case here. If it's not shoujo, maybe it can't be true mahou shoujo.
Topic Starter
idk, while it plays jokes with some of the tropes, I wouldn't qualfiy machikado mazoku as a parody, mainly because on it's essence is still very much just a magial girl anime and it's proud of that. And again, while it may not be shoujo in terms of demographic (given that slice of life anime as far as I know is not really gendered), it's still pretty much the opposite of a combat shounen, with pure magical girl anime it was that way beacuse of what I said, it being cutesy and femenine as opposed to raw and masculine, but with machikado mazoku specially, since it's quite literally the opposite of people beating each other up, being, people befriending each other up
I think in a world where shounen have become this mainstream, and honestly have sometimes a majority female audiences in specific cases (like with jujutsu kaisen), I think shoujos evolving into a more slice of life path (let's remember things like natsume book of friends are shoujo) is the logical outcome

While CGDCT are a genre you put on to relax, not having the most complex stories or making you feel negative emotions, that doesn't mean you should expect the viewer to not have any sort of critical eye.
Endro starts with a group of adventurers defeating the evil demon king, for credits to roll, and for them to wake up in bed and start going to school. This is a good setup, what happens in the happily ever after, what happens to them after everything is done for, in fact, this is the setup frieren would do (tho translated into a different genre and with different age characters) and would be praised for a lot (even if frieren doesn't even really scratch the surface of that setup either).
The main problem I have with this anime is that the plot is complete nosense, as this episode 1 will be basically decanonized by the end. The first couple episodes goes great, technically the hero is no longer the hero because her being a hero would require there being a demon king, except the loli teacher with evil demon wings is in fact the reborn demon lord. Then you have your standard plot of the demon king tris to get the hero to fail in all sort of ways only for that to backfire
again, up to episode 5 or so?, it's good, problem is that they start making a lot of contradictions in the plot, not spoiler tagging but, oh it turns out they traveled through time and they also lost some of their memories and also [...], it's just a very, very contrived story and solutions to problems the anime didn't have, which directly contradicts which comes after and before it. Th eanime ending is also extremely bad, it feels rushed from a narrative standpoint, like the writers saw they were at the penultimate episode and said "shit we need to end this somehow" which just caused a final episode where the plot becomes even more contrived and contradictory
there is also the part where the princess has a crush on the protagonist and kidnaps herself beacuse she gets sexual pleasure from watching the hero be heroic, which is honestly like 2 steps aways from the plot of ichi the killer, and if your cgdct is that close to ichi the killer you may have to rethink your decisions in life. To this the princess apologizes and everyone goes "haha no problem!" and is never mentioned again for the remaining of the anime despite being a honestly kinda unforgivable and mentally derranged thing to do
it's just, CGDCT should help you relax, to get into that state of mind, it's true that while you're there, you have a greater suspension of disbelief, but that doesn't imply that the anime should make decisions as if you have no critical vision
the later half of the anime also features a lot of flashbacks and a lot of reused content, there was a point where I didn't know if I was watching a recap episode or not
the rest of the anime is pretty standard, nothing much I really want to talk about, so yeah, pretty terrible anime, D rank.

Asobi Asobase
While I didn't think it was bad, like, there weren't any things I believed were genuine problems like with the last anime, I for sure didn't like it.
Asobi Asobase is a comedy anime following three high school students, each one with a very marked personalities, pretty standard stuff. The main difference of this anime with other of the same genres, and the reason why I disliked this anime, is the type of comedy they employ.
Asobi Asobase mainly employs gross humour, pee and poop jokes, extremely non-moe faces, the teacher being a weird pervert with unusual fetishes, etc. You're meant to be repulsed by it which leads to comedy. While this is a comedy style that is fairly common (not so much in anime tho, I do remember seeing it a lot in western cartoons and some comedy movies), it's not a style I really enjoy
the actual animation was nice tho, I think it has a very unique visual style, using very bright colors, and feeling a lot like a drawing, but like a drawing you did in a a highschool notebook that you've not opened for a year so it has like very white spots where it feels nothing is drawn there, I like that
so yeah, nothing against this anime, I just don't fuck with it's comedy style. D rank.

Do it yourself
slice of life CGDCT anime about girls doing DIY stuff (i'm actually surprised english doesn't have a better word for this rather than DIY like how the fuck DIY feels like a modern term right you did not have a word to really encompass that field of activities better?????? like we say bricolaje in spanish). The girls are moe and watching the anime is relaxing.
i've seen this anime a while ago now and honestly there isn't really much I want to say, I like the animation style, it's often very polygonal, lot of straight lines across this anime, not the first time i've seen it but I enjoy it so it's always a welcome thing. I think character design is unique and very distinctive, often having a very particular, less common but still common and societal acceptable clothing item. Also, I found I have a soft spot for characters with bandaids, which is honestly such a bizarre fashion decision but honestly whoever invented that and realized that work is a fucking genious that shit is so cute
unlike most CGDCT anime this does kind of have an end goal, which is to build a treehouse. Not very common for CGDCT anime to have a solid endpoint, but I think it works really well, the actual anime up to that is just kind of a bit of very light drama of recruiting club members and learning the skills needed, the treehouse working as a sueprproject that is the climax of what they have accomplished across the anime
it's good, I enjoyed it and I recommend it. A rank. Will update the actual tier list tomorrow if I remember because today I am tired and will be going directly to bed, good night

Saihate Station
didn't play the DLC because it wasn't available on a language I could understand
short horror/toxic yaoi game with a point and click adventure gameplay loop. The game doesn't do anything that is that new or that shocking, everything it does i've seen it before, however, that doesn't make the game bad by any means, if anything, I tihnk it's a really polished game, lot's of small detail that I really enjoyed.
I think the story is tight, the paranormal/horror feel is a good way to tie into the psychological story they were trying to tell, the dialogue is well written and I really appreciate placing stopping points in some of the sentences so the text would take a few fractions of a second longer to scroll from that point giving part of the dialogue more emphasis. Some set scenes, like the optional mirror scenes, while nothing revolutionary (been a tried and tested thing in indie games since undertale did the "despite everything, it's still you", tho, omori REALLY popularized this set piece, having a mirror that after a specific point of the game had a small % chance of jumpscaring you which is honestly so sick because not everyone will see that scare), I think the mirror scene really serves a purpouse and is well done, it's not copying for the sake of copying, not because they liked the visuals and the feel and tried to emulate it without understanding the actual depth of it, the dev clearly understood what they were doing and they told their story in a really effective manner
now, the actual story, i'm more conflicted on. It's again, something I know a lot of people enjoy but something that I never quite understood the appeal. As I said on the beginning, this is a toxic yaoi game, there are two main characters, and there is a lot of romantic subtext between them which is basically confiremd on one of the endings. Spoiler warning, tho I think you may figure out reading reviews and the synopsis and screenshots of the game. turns out, your coworker is mentally derranged, essentially a yandere. And this is the part that I have conflicted feelings on. While this is a horror game, a lot of the scenes feel like they're meant to be arousing,
Again, not a new concept, yanderes have existed since forever, and some people have always been lusting over them, but recently it became more popular. This popularity surge I feel actually came from outside that otaku internet space, but instead, with the popularization of dark romance novels. This type of novel are mainly books targetted torwards women, which follow a female protagonist whose life somehow get intermingled with a male who is usually in some sort of position of power torwards her, for example a common trope is a mafia boss that kidnapped the protagonist. After that a relationship starts to form. These relationships are unethical, toxic, horrible to be in IRL, often consisting of coaxing or rape, but you know, fantasies like that are something that a lot of people find erotic.
This also happened in online LGBTQ+ spaces with toxic yuri and toxic yaoi, which are very similar, just very, as the name implies, toxic relationships, that would be hell to be in IRL, but are arousing.
The problem is that in the current era, sexuality is very much a taboo subject, it's considered a more valid reason to say "I enjoy this game for the story" rather than "I find this game to be very arousing", which I feel taints a bit of internet discussion, like, I'm sorry but you're NOT playing nikke for the story. Not saying that these people are lying, it's very easy to gaslight yourself to believe other elements of the game are peak just becuase you at a personal level don't want to admit it's arousing.
All of this IMO kinda muddies the message of the game, it's not explicitely erotic, but instead all covered in subtext and mashed in with what would be a typically artsy videogame. I've completed the game but I honestly struggle to find a takeaway from it. In normal videogame logic, the ending that is hardest to get is the true ending, and in this case, the true ending would be the one where you decide to stay with your newly found mentally insane dominant boyfriend. I didn't get that ending, and while I enjoyed going through the motions of the game, some cscenes got me to really feel stuff, I don't know if the story really meant anything to me.
It's a very well done game, undeniably so, I just don't know if this is exactly for me, C rank.

reading it, what you have is just personality data, not something I can talk that much by itself. It's like worldbuilding, sure, it's a fun activity a large ammount of people seem to do, not writing a story, just pure worldbuilding, but at the same time, worldbuilding is only good or bad depending on the story it's placed in, a nonsensical world can be good in certain context, as well as a hyper realistic onefrothyyy wrote:

now, the actual story, i'm more conflicted on. It's again, something I know a lot of people enjoy but something that I never quite understood the appeal. As I said on the beginning, this is a toxic yaoi game, there are two main characters, and there is a lot of romantic subtext between them which is basically confiremd on one of the endings. Spoiler warning, tho I think you may figure out reading reviews and the synopsis and screenshots of the game. turns out, your coworker is mentally derranged, essentially a yandere. And this is the part that I have conflicted feelings on. While this is a horror game, a lot of the scenes feel like they're meant to be arousing,
Again, not a new concept, yanderes have existed since forever, and some people have always been lusting over them, but recently it became more popular. This popularity surge I feel actually came from outside that otaku internet space, but instead, with the popularization of dark romance novels. This type of novel are mainly books targetted torwards women, which follow a female protagonist whose life somehow get intermingled with a male who is usually in some sort of position of power torwards her, for example a common trope is a mafia boss that kidnapped the protagonist. After that a relationship starts to form. These relationships are unethical, toxic, horrible to be in IRL, often consisting of coaxing or rape, but you know, fantasies like that are something that a lot of people find erotic.
This also happened in online LGBTQ+ spaces with toxic yuri and toxic yaoi, which are very similar, just very, as the name implies, toxic relationships, that would be hell to be in IRL, but are arousing.
The problem is that in the current era, sexuality is very much a taboo subject, it's considered a more valid reason to say "I enjoy this game for the story" rather than "I find this game to be very arousing", which I feel taints a bit of internet discussion, like, I'm sorry but you're NOT playing nikke for the story. Not saying that these people are lying, it's very easy to gaslight yourself to believe other elements of the game are peak just becuase you at a personal level don't want to admit it's arousing.
All of this IMO kinda muddies the message of the game, it's not explicitely erotic, but instead all covered in subtext and mashed in with what would be a typically artsy videogame. I've completed the game but I honestly struggle to find a takeaway from it. In normal videogame logic, the ending that is hardest to get is the true ending, and in this case, the true ending would be the one where you decide to stay with your newly found mentally insane dominant boyfriend. I didn't get that ending, and while I enjoyed going through the motions of the game, some cscenes got me to really feel stuff, I don't know if the story really meant anything to me.
It's a very well done game, undeniably so, I just don't know if this is exactly for me, C rank.
also while you're at it i'm requesting you to do an analysis of azatus (literally my oc). it's just an excuse for criticism in order to improve my characters more
with personality data is the same thing, tho even more extreme. People can be any sort of way, writing a personality that is frankly impossible for anyone on earth to have seems way harder than the opposite, and even then, that may serve to a bigger purpouse if you write a story involving those characters. Your character is neither well written nor bad written, since charcters by themselves, devoid of context, can't be inherently well written or bad written.

Vivid/Stasis (Dropped)
I didn't drop it because it didn't qualify the thread, it completely did, I just was having no fun with it.
Vivid/Stasis is a 4k rhythm game / visual novel with ARG style puzzles. Every element on itself seems to work, but in conjunction is just a total mess. The rhythm game segment were pretty solid, the engine was good tho I had a frame drop once, but it may have been my pc, the songs are cool tho not peak, and the charting was ok. They introduce a new mechanic called bumpers that works as a note that can be hit by pressing any key on the corresponding hand, imagine sound voltex that has those big orange notes but they're pressed by pressing either one of the two left or two right ones.
I don't think they really utilize bumpers that well from what i've played. They mainly work as a reading challenge but I think they don't pull it off in a way that feels satisfactory, from what i've played in rhythm games, there is a certain beauty to a good reading challenge, it's very satisfactory, but with vivid stasis all the charts feels very messy, sometimes you missread but you're able to singletap fast enough to where it doens't actually punish you but totally messed with the flow and feel of the play.
I will applaud that the default keybinds where pretty good, they clearly played etterna/osu, this may seem like a weird thing to point out but god so many games have included 4k segments that are controlled by arrow keys and they're just the worst to play, this actually has sdjk keybinds. The only other narrative game i've seen have good keybinds is "until then"
Now, the rhythm game elements are story elements are quite separate, you play songs to get points to unlock visual novel segments, I don't like this system. The harder the song is the more points you get, this sounds logical in paper, but I think it's a bad call. I have some experience in 4k games, i'm not exactly competitive at them, but i'm for sure better than someone who is new at it, so when I opened the game and saw I had to unlock the story, I played a "course", which is basically a dan course, I think it was level 11 or 12 and I got two S ranks and two AA, that gave me enough points to clear the ENTIRE story for that chapter.
This is a system that benefits players who are already familiar with the genre and punishes one that doesn't, which is the problem, because people who are not rhythm game fans are probably playin because of the story, while the ones that are good for the rhythm game segment, so why are you gifting the rhythm game players the story and making the story players beg for it?
Worst part was when I finished reading up to the end of the chapter, that had a ARG puzzle, I will talk a bit more about it later, but the point is, it asked me to get 500+ combo on 5 songs of the difficulty I was aiming at to unlock it, OR I could solve the puzzle already, but I would be playing the boss song at the lowest difficulty, making it less hype.
So, after I binge read the story, at the very climax of it, you say "go grind 5 random songs, whichever you want, then come back here"!, what a way to kill the momentum jesus chirst
the actual 500+ combo requirement was also pretty insane, again, I was playing on "finale" difficulty that were songs between 10 and 13 of difficulty, getting S and AA and I was not getting 500 combo, I had to play on a lower difficulty and that just made it a whole less exciting
the actual story felt very gimmicky, you are directly thrown into a mistery surrounding one character, but we've really hadn't have much character developement, so it felt hard to care, instead, the story was aiming for this ARG type mistery stuff?, like the characters find a creepy arg-ish video and they go exploring but bad things happens and etc
I've only played up to partway through chapter 2, but the actual story didn't seem to be trying to say much, it was entirerily based on the mistery, so it's not like omori that it goes "find mari!" but then the story just really develops and it's in the search that the true message of the game is found, it's nothing like that.
The actual puzzle you solve and the ones that the characters solve in the story are also separate, so it's not like you're recieving the satisfaction of solving the mistery yourself. There is nothing wrong with this approach, watching people solve a mistery is satisfying, but for the love of god, if you're going to include puzzle on the game, why not make it them the actual puzzles the characters are facing, it jus seems like such a waste.
the whole game in a way feels meaningless, it tries to do so much but nothing really combines well, the story is this ARG type stuff surrounding characters you don't care about, the rhythm game is good but why would you play this over osu or etterna.
Now, the actual ARG puzzles, they're bad. They feel like they're there just because the dev thinks ARGs are cool, but it's just, it being a ARG doesn't contribute anything to the game. When games implement ARG stuff, think of off or inscription, they do it for ambience, it's a way of breaking the 4th wall, in off it works to make the game feel even more bizarre and in inscryption to make it feel creepy, but in here, I don't know what they were trying to accomplish, felt they watched video youtube essays and said "let's copy that!"
they didn't feel super amazing to solve either, the problem with ARG is that by breaking any boundaries it opens up the fan of possibilities A LOT. Let's put a famous game, portal 2, you got the chamber and the portal gun, you know exactly what are the tools you've got to work with and where to look, with games like off and inscryption, these ARG puzzles are never very complex and have very clear directions to where to look. It's less a difficult challenge and more poking at you and breaking the 4th wall
but here, you're just opening a website for the user and expecting them to solve it, bitch it could be ANYTHING, you no longer have a portal gun and a chamber, you have your entire computer to work with. Maybe it's the html code?, maybe it does something at a certain hour of the day?, maybe it's the url itself?, just play around until you find a solution that works!
thankfully the first episode chapter that was the one that I found wasn't very difficult, but yeah I can imagine it being a problem in the future as I think the philosophy is quite bad.
Also, pet peeve of mine, the vn segments show the actual hour ingame, but that clock doesn't move. I read half a chapter once and it apparently all took place inside a single minute which must be a oversight by the dev.
Also, the text position seemed bugged, a lot of the time it felt way too close at the bottom of the screen and some text overlapped with each other
So yeah, it just feels pointless, D rank, queue empty.

already played it sooo
Mother 3:
I frankly don't have that much to say about mother 3? which may seem surprising given how beloved of a game it is and how it inspired many of my favourites
I think in terms of gameplay it's less annoying than earthbound (mother 2), it adds a new timing mechanic to the hit, which I never was able to nail but may have also been because emulator input delay, I do not know.
I think the biggest appeal and frankly part of the popularity of mother 3 in the modern day is that it, in combination with earthboumd, were the first real mainstream RPG to really try to tell a serious story. Videogames as an artform were not really that accepted back in the day, so seeing a more adult game, tackling political issues and coming from nintendo, yeah, it absolutely shocked everyone.
The story is very much about capitalism, initially the town the protagonist lives in actually doens't really have currency, and then the pigmasks come, this technologically superior faction to implement currency and a capitalist system promising the citizens the whole entire world, and actively getting rid of the ones that oppose it. When the actually not politically motivated protagonist begins their fight against the pigmasks, he kinda just discovers the truth of the organization and what it does for people
I think the visuals in mother 3 are interesting, because frankly, they're not very different than the other rpgs being pushed at around the same time, which kinda worked in that favour of subverting your expectations by actually having a good plot
the 4th wall stuff was also cool, it doesn't do anything crazy with it, mainly for jokes, but it's unexpected and fun.
it's just a very artsy game at a time where it wasn't common, in my personal opinion we've done better games since then, but yeah, it's just very historically important. It's a B rank for me just due to personal preference, but yeah, no hate against it, really well done videogame and a important one at that.

Command and Conquer red alert 1 and 2
banger games
Command and conquer red alert is a world war 2 themed RTS, released at a time where this genre was still popular, and it became one of the biggest ones too. Like there were a lot of RTS at the time, all of them had a different setting, you had warcraft for fantasy, starcraft for sci fi, age of empires for historical, and command and conquer for military.
The actual story of command and conquer is whatever, it's told via full motion video cutscenes and some descriptions before starting each mission, however, this is very much not a narrative game and the story takes the sidelines, however, knowing that it was not the focus or the reason people bought the game, they did a decision that would make the games legacy last that much longer, they didn't aim to make a super epic or deep story, instead, they made it excedeengly silly.
The plot is batshit insane, with time travel, albert einstein creating superweapons, etc, but the important thing here is how the plot is delivered. Full motion video was actually more common back then than it was now, but they got real talent, and the way they deliver each line is amazing
The gameplay is very solid. There is only one resource and that is tiberium, this works in contrast to most rts that have multiple resources. Tiberium isn't a static resource, it's closer to the trees of age of empires meaning that you've got to move for the tiberium, it's not a gold mine. This makes it easier for your opponent to snipe your miners. While disrupting mining is a powerful technique in all rts, I feel in command and conquer is specially powerful.
The way production works is also different than most RTS, instead of you having to reach a x ammount of resources to then queue in a worker to start building the thing, you have a global UI that allows you to control the creation of every building and every unit. There are no worker unit in this game. This actually makes it easier for new playesr to really get the hang of the game. It's a lot easier to manage than having to learn what unit and what building does what.
Another thing that helps with lowering the barrier of entry is being able to queue buildings and units even if you don't have the resources to actually build it. This contrast with more RTS that you got to learn how to time your production to never float resources.
The combat feels more realistic than frankly most games out there, and not just talking about rts. Every unit is INSANELY powerful damage-wise, the problem is that they all have low accuracy, this makes it feel like a real war, there are also a lot of silly techniques like driving over units that actually works
so yeah great games, really enjoyed, A rank.

how is it a baby game? the only "baby" thing i can really see is the fact that's it's got this extremely bright and playful artstyle. asides the fnaf theme, it's really just a normal rpg which anyone can play. like you could literally remove the cuddly fnaf characters and replace them with wizards and sci-fi and spells and the game would still be pretty fun
and the fact you've only reviewed 301 things despite the fact this post has 2,343 replies definitely says something about you
edit: just realised that not all of these posts are people requesting. that still means pata has denied at least like,600 to 700 requests 300 to 350 requests from my guess (please keep in mind i pulled these numbers straight out of the bin as a guess)
random mathematical shit dw about this too much its just my thinking
2,344 posts, 350 requests denied, 301 requests approved
2,344 - 651 = 1693 (this tells us that there are 1,693 posts not requesting for something)
301/651 = 0.4624
0.4624 x 100

I tried counting how many I denied, and honestly it was a fucking mess I got lost counting it so it's around 50±20, and out of those, half where joke requests, such as every request from scyla or people quoting a post where I deny something and instantly suggesting something that is even more offensive on the reason why I denied the previous, you estimated 350. If you coun't the times i've uttered the word "denied" as a whole in the forums, not in just in this thread, and note that there are posts where i've used denied more than once for the same request, you have 84.
if you read the OP of the thread, it states in the section of blacklisted requests "-Fandom heavy content (If you need to be part of a fandom to really enjoy or understand something, don't request it)", I consider fnaf to be part of this categorization. You say that it can be stripped out of the IP and it would still work at a mechanical level, this is probably true, however, would you have played the game if it wasn't due to the fnaf IP?, if you did, would you have enjoyed it as much?, enough to warrant requesting it?
fnaf is a franchise of mascot horror games with a largelly young fanbase, the games don't tend to be exactly super complex or really that standout. You need to understand i'm not the target demographic for this type of game, i'm a human being doing this in my free time, but franchises like this I know i'm not going to enjoy them.

Fnaf 1 was fun and “revolutionary” in terms of gameplay at its time, no one knew what fnaf was, and everyone enjoyed the shit out of it
1) i wouldn't have actually ever discovered the gamePatatitta wrote:

2) i definitely would've enjoyed the game regardless if it had fnaf in it or not, me personally i really enjoyed the game for a variety of reasons (the numerous set of worlds, how you can walk into trees which send you to different areas which have different graphics and stuff, the mini-games from the halloween update, collecting characters, etc), not because holy schmoly freddy fazbear, so if it was like idk wizard and demons world i still would've requested it
while that is correct fnaf world is different to literally every other five nights game. all of the other games are survival horror where you're in a little office and robots are coming to beat you, fnaf world is a cartoony RPG where it's all fun and cute. i figured you'd like a neat rpg game like fnaf world because it's nothing like the other five nights gamesPatatitta wrote:

and you definitely don't need to be apart of the fnaf community to understand the game, i was like 9 or 10 playing fnaf world with barely any understanding of what it was like to spend a night at freddy's other than big scary bear bites, and i still enjoyed the game.

I said mascot horror, not survival horror, different concepts. And again, I just don't trust fnaf at all, I know enough about it to know I don't enjoy it, I played a bit of fnaf 1 (or 2?, I can't recall), I've seen the movie, which people defended was good (it wasn't), and I know the way they deliver "story" is by being hyper cryptic and you having to learn about the lore by watching youtube video essays.
Idk, you know me, you've seen my backloggd, you've seen my past ratings, you know i'm not the demographic for this.

wether its mascot horror or survival horror, that still doesn't change the fact that fnaf world isn't horror at all, it's an rpg. trust me on this, it doesn't trick you and suddenly becomes horror, it stays a playful and cute rpg no matter what.Patatitta wrote:

while that's fair, i'm asking you to try something which is totally different to the usual fnaf stuff. 1 and 2 and the movie aim to be scary but fnaf world does not try to be scary. yes i know im talking like a record on repeat but cmon dude. when i have told you its different to what you're used to, showed you evidence (the trailer) that it's different to what you're used to seeing from fnaf, i still don't see why you wouldn't at least try it for a bit because its nothing like what you've seen from fnaf. i mean, you've played the games and watched the film, upon watching the fnaf world trailer, surely you would've been like "ok, this is new"Patatitta wrote:

as for story, fnaf world doesn't have anything to do with the fnaf lore. its a spinoff game the creator made to make another game like the games he used to make before he made fnaf
but if you still don't trust me or fnaf world purely because it has fnaf slapped on it, so be it. what more can i say to persuade you?

i'm not rejecting it because it's scary, already said that, I don't consider mascot horror to be scary, I just don't like mascot horror and/or fnaf, you can't really say much to convince me

rejecting fnaf world purely because it has fnaf slapped onto it (aka "oh i just dont like fnaf") is stubborn and is exactly like feeding a baby new foodsPatatitta wrote:

a baby would probably think, "oh, i'm not going to eat this new food because it has green slapped onto it, i associate negative things with green food based on past experiences" the same way you think "oh, i'm not going to play this new game because it has fnaf on it, i associate negative things with fnaf based on past experiences"
but.. if the baby tries that food.. he might like it
and.. if pata tries that game.. he might like the game..
do you understand where im coming from? you can't just keep avoiding games from IPs you've had bad experiences with, especially when someone's explained that what's being requested is different and new from that IP. if this was a traditional five nights game and you said, "oh yeah, i've already played the og fnaf 1/2, not a big fan of it, denied", or maybe even your "oh, i just dont like fnaf", i probably would've been like, ok, cool, fair enough since a traditional five nights game plays similarly to og fnaf but when we're talking about an rpg which steps out of the traditional office setting, ??? you're only rejecting it because you're biased
samtedze brother real talk from one sick cunt to another sick cunt, what are you doing this isn't the hill you want to die on
k fair enough, me personally i liked the game and im kinda disappointed pata's chosen to treat it like this, but what can i do bout it other than repeat myself
It's fine if you like the game, but I can see Pata's point. The fact that it has FNAF in it in the first place is enough to turn many people off it; I think that's fair. Hard to enjoy a game if it has characters from a series you don't really enjoy.
If you enjoy it though that's great.
