I even occasionally tweet.
Here's a big long empty space to symbolize the void in my soul.
Anything 51 and up is a recommendation, meaning you aren't wasting your time seeing it. Anything between 51-79 ranges from mediocre to very good. Anything 80+ is what I call a "Great Movie" and it's a must-see and is awesome to various degrees. Anything that's a 50 is something that I'm a fence sitter on (meaning I'm too useless to actually be able to make up my god damn mind) so it could go either way. 49 and under means you should avoid. Under 10 means I was probably raped by the movie or, at the very least, fondled. Despite the effort I've put into explaining my rating system, numbers are fairly often chosen at random (well, maybe my gut feeling) so I might actually like a movie I rated 75 more than an 85, I just really can't be bothered to go back and constantly re-do my ratings.

"I don't play online, don't like training mini-games and only want to play career mode anyway, so many of the big criticisms don't apply to me. With that said, this benefits heavily from not having a boxing game for a long time. There are a lot of little issues (imbalance, same animations, hit detection, some bugs, push mechanic etc), but for the most part it's a fun game. It needs a lot of work but I'd be lying if I didn't get a bunch of enjoyment out of it. Just isn't as sticky as Fight Night."

"I'm a massive King Spooner fan (not familiar with Kaya) so the typical artistry that he brings to the table is certainly welcome, though I find his solo works more interesting even in that regard. Pretty and odd with a cool atmosphere and music. Combat feels weightless, hard to hit, clunky, not fluid. Kinda wish this was still just his typical walking simulator. Possession mechanic is okay with a few decent moments but mostly inconsequential. I'm disappointed but this is still worth playing."

"LC is an amazing game if you're into that kind of design. Severely underrated. It's funny, there's a little more depth in the combat than it's given credit for, and it oozes style. It's silly. Juliet's a great character. I don't even mind the stylistic changes for the RePop mode because it fits the game. I dropped the score on this one, compared to the original, because they didn't get the licensed music which was so integral to the original experience. And it does hurt the experience a lot."

"It's okay across the board, from the action to the music (though there is some good stuff in there) to the story to the visuals. It just doesn't feel magical. Also, it should have been multiplayer."

"It's good but I'm not in love. Being able to alter the game settings pretty extensively definitely helps, because if it was the standard settings I would have had less fun. I wish there was actual levelling, not just gear levelling, because me and my brother ended up being way too samey. But the castle construction is satisfying and the combat, gameplay loop is as well."

"Maybe the first one was like this too and I've just become more bothered over time, but this game does everything it can to get in your way. Bad UI/menus, way too much distance between objectives. This is why Ubisoft has become kind of boring. When you actually get to infiltrate places, it's kinda fun, but it's not enough. I got bored really quick. Why can't things just be non-open world tactical shooters?"

| 45 10% | Demon's Souls (2020) - Rated 20 Aug 2024
"I try these games knowing that they aren't for me because I don't like hard games, and don't enjoy the Souls formula for difficulty. I went back to this one because it was free and I actually rented the OG version back in the day so there's some nostalgia. Despite my rating, I know this isn't a bad game. It's beautiful and gives the fans what they want. I just don't enjoy it."
