Hello there! I absolutely agree, this game is fantastic! I am new to the series and I will definitely finish, maybe even complete it, and then check out Kiwami 1 and 2 for sure!

New Pokemon Snap was fun! I think they doled out the upgrades way too slowly, especially the speed boost. But otherwise the courses were cool, and it had a good variety of Pokmeon. I wasn't expecting to care about the story, either, but I was invested by the end.

Cheers!

Always heard about it for years and always heard positive things. Playing through it now its pretty good in my opinion but suffers from a lot of problems from that era. Doesn't hold your hand, lack of maps in dungeons and in some situations, you have to talk to the right character with a certain item equipped. Despite that though I'm enjoying my time with it. Don't know how far away from the ending I am though. Been playing it off and on over the course of 3 weeks so far.

Did not have much fun with it. I think 3 player co-op actually worsened the experience. The need to pause for item and spell usage just kills the pace. And while I probably would've enjoyed it more solo, the weapon charging and turn based style spells (as opposed to them being projectiles) still frustrate me. Gorgeous game and killer ost but not my thing.

Yes. It's very much the same game as the others, but with a different flavor. If you enjoy the main series you'll definitety enjoy this one.

I think... pretty average? I know the EXP requirements get quite high into the six digits once you reach Level 81 onwards. But there's ways to raise your levels swiftly enough, and later quests can give you a big enough reward, so leveling isn't too awful an experience.

The only thing you'd really be fighting against is the drop rates more than anything else. At times they can seem rather stingy here in the Xenoverse games.

I honestly don't know if Three Hopes is grindier than Warriors, since Warriors I just blasted through due to not enjoying the story. I like Three Hopes' characters/story more so have been doing more sidequesty content just due to that.

We may not get a Bully sequel, but we can dream... Or, in my case, just keep playing it over and over, forever.

Overall I think it's easier than the Souls games. It's difficult at first, because there's a lot of different systems to learn and master. However, it's ultimately more of an rpg looter than a skill based game. So as long as you keep your gear levels high and get the right skills, the game is pretty straight forward and you can push through hard areas without needing to understand enemy patterns as much as the Souls games. That all said the first area of the game is super hard with Hino-Enma being the big "gate keeper" boss that can make or break you. This is mostly because gear is very limited at this point of the game and so you'll have to "git good" in order to get through it. The rest of the game I found average in difficulty. Just remember, this game is about being as aggressive as possible, and the spear is the best weapon for beginners to the game.
