Had a strange hankering to replay the original .hack// quadrilogy. Not sure how far I'll get. I remember playing them way back when they were first released but got bored sometime during vol.3. I think I had to find data cubes or whatever they were to hack a gate and just went, "nah, fuck this," and never picked it back up. I did play and complete the G.U. trilogy, which I liked a lot. Recently (well, within the last few years) replayed those games via the Steam remaster.

Thought about watching the original SIGN anime first but then I remembered how godawfully boring that series is, so just started the games instead. Strangely, I do like the Roots anime.

Playing the games using the PCSX2 emulator. So far it looks decent with the internal render resolution kicked up to 4k. No slowdowns or bugs so far. Battle system is... extremely basic, especially compared to the much more fun and kinetic G.U. combat. I remember my favorite party members being Sanjuro and Gardenia; I'll probably go with different characters this time around, maybe use Blackrose more.

I beat Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Great game. It's an old 360 game (2010) but the Steam version works pretty well (no 1440p display option though.) For gameplay/story I'd give it a strong recommendation.

This shit is making lists of "woke games" is the most pathetic example of "bandwagoning" after the DEI Detected Curator list. It's like all the Plinket clones after RLM's Star Wars reviews or the AVGN ripoffs of early Youtube.
Also, Frisk is supposed to act as a blank-slate surrogate. Yes, Frisk has 'no gender' because the sex is basically whatever the player wants it to be.

The strange part is that I have noticed video essays now going over more than a hour and a half regarding their favorite FPS/RPG game from over five to almost six years ago.

These video essays can be 39,000,000 minutes long, and yet, somehow, they will say absolutely nothing of note. Wow (game) from more than a decade ago is actually well written, has good mechanics, and isn't some government funded DEI slop that will fail in two weeks? Color me shocked!

It's just nonbinary woke trash. We've had blank slates before of just one gender or an option between the two. We never needed to play as Pat for that.

Yeah, most of these can be summarized up in the equivalent of a 4chan post that takes less than two minutes to read.

There's plenty of actual wokeshit to get mad about without tilting at windmills like this.

It is "actual wokeshit", the game has faggot characters too. Just because Spider-Man 2 is comically woke doesn't mean everything else slightly less infected gets a free pass.

I don't mind long videos if it's about a series, then there's a lot more to talk about so it makes more sense.

It all goes back to runningshine and YIIK. Everyone wants to copy that high.

No way, it goes way back before YIIK. The review length has been increasing ever since the 10-minute cap was removed from YouTube, and the genesis of that was the Mr. Plinkett Star Wars Episode I review way back in 2009.

There were extremely long, extremely autistic videos on Undertale that pervaded throughout 2015 and 2016 as well.
