  • :D I’m very casual too. But watched many videos on YouTube and it really really does help to improve. I love online competitive games, like Dota for example, even though I’ve dropped it cause I don’t have the time anymore.

    Yeah! Zelda. I haven’t even finished breath of the wild. It makes me sad actually, beaten 4 of the holy beasts already but I didn’t finish it (I’ve played so many games and stopped playing it in the last dungeon, idk why). I planned to replay them again someday and buy the tears of the kingdom. I’ve only heard good things about the game.

    We’ve been blessed with excellent games in 2023! And there are more coming (Baldurs gate 3 for example). What do you think your GOTY until now and might be your GOTY (for the unreleased games)?


  • Pick GOW Ragnarok if it is on discount! It is (like the 2018’s) pretty much a “perfect” game. I do not think it has a flaw I can point out. :D, unlike FF XVI, which I also love, but I can definitely find its problem.

    I main Ken too. :D. So versatile, and so fast with unending combos. My playstyle suits Ryu better I think (I was placed on Plat 1 with Ryu, but with Ken I was placed on silver, and I had to climb to Plat 1), I’d like to wait and react usually, and Ken suits a more aggressive player. But once you have played Ken, Ryu feels so slow. Ryu’s moves feel stronger and punishing too, but I have difficulties breaking opponents defence with him. I think my fundementals are “okay”, my biggest problem is hitting combos consistently and not dropping it, which is much harder than doing combos on Tekken. On Tekken 7 I main Jin/ Kazuya. I can’t do perfect electric everytime that’s why in the end I drop Kazuya because I know I’d not be able to play him to full potential. Jin on the other hand, does not rely on electric that much.


  • God of war Ragnarok is… very good. I didn’t expect less though. Played the 2018 one, really enjoyed it. I always know that I would play the sequel one, but I didn’t buy it on day one but I waited for a sale. It was sold at 37€ the other day that is why I pulled the trigger. Was looking for a new game after I’ve finished FF XVI a couple of days ago. Really recommended if you haven’t played it, but play the 2018 one first. It was also very good.

    The reason why started FF XII again is because, like I’ve just said, I had just finished FF XVI. I need more of final fantasy. XD. Since FF XVI lead writer is Kazutoyo Maehiro, the same person who was involved in FF Tactics, Tactics ogre, Vagrant Story, FF XII and so on, I was thinking to play FF Tactics but realized I should wait for the remaster/ remake version. So it was between tactics ogre Vs FF 12, and I decided to play FF 12 because I haven’t finished that yet…

    Street fighter is really good. I play fighting games sometimes but usually I play Tekken. Since Tekken 8 hasn’t come out yet, SF 6 really scratches that fighting itch. Really recommended. The interest of the game is at all time high, and the EVO tournament is around the corner so it’s easy to find guides/ tips on YouTube. If you do pick it up, you can add me and we can play together (if you’re based in Europe, at least).


  • Didn’t like FF IX when I was a kid. After having “cool” characters like Cloud and Squall, Zidan was underwhelming. Didn’t even finish the game.

    +15 years later, played the game again on PS Vita, this time as an adult. I fell in love with the game. I cried watching the ending, Vivi, Zidan, Steiner. All of them become my favourite fictional characters. Love the game so much. It is definitely top 3.




  • I have played street fighter 5 for some time (nothing serious), and I’ve used to play other fighting games too. I’ve played street fighter 2 turbo when I was a kid too. Played some KOF. So I always know that a quarter circle is a fireball since I was a kid. I have tried the modern control… I can’t get used to it. It definitely is good, it even hit confirms for you and if you press the button continuosly, it would give you a combo which is 100 percent consistent all of the time. On the other hand, you lose flexibility. You lose some… buttons. Like not all moves are available for you and you do less damage (about 15-20 percent). I’m not sure whether the damage penalty is being applied it you’re inputting the special moves manually (you can do this too). The biggest advantage for modern control Players is one button DP or one button super. It makes it much much easier to perform the moves as a reaction if you know what I mean. I don’t think even pro player can perform the moves that fast on reaction. If I’m playing against a decent modern control player, I know almost for sure that it would be difficult to do a surprise jump in on them as they can DP so consistently on reaction (so many of the modern control Players are Luke). So yeah, if you have good fundamentals, but can’t do damaging combo that much, you can really benefit by playing on modern control.

    My opinion is therefore kind of mixed. I think modern control should be banned in competitive/ ranked matches, so that everyone is one the level playing ground.



  • I like it very much (but I have a soft spot for FF, I even love FF XV despite its flaws).

    It has pacing issues tho. Especially in the final third of the game. The character arc sidequests are really good, the other sidequests are unremarkable. Crafting and equipment system is pretty bland (there is almost no reason to explore as things in treasure chests are usually crafting materials, which we would have much too many at the end of the game). The eikon system, I love it. So many possibilities to try and combo and find the eikon arrangements for your taste. Story is good, but sometimes I have a feeling that it is taking itself too seriously. Usually there is some funny jokes in FF games (Cloud for example dressing as a woman) but this game is so so dark. The voice acting of Clive is very good, but after some time I have a feeling that he’s Geralt of Rivia (brooding, deep voice with little happiness). I have to say, I am not that attached to Clive as I did to Noctis, and I’m in the final dungeon of the game.
