Never knew I liked this genre of games. They cooked by adding multiplayer to the sequal.

I'm gonna be blunt. This game is my re-entry to the Digimon franchise and it was a decent game but the lack of budget really shows. Even considering how old the game is & it originally being released for the PS Vita, the static dialogue scenes and lack of movable camera really makes it feel like a game from late 2000s rather than 2015. This game was heavily carried by the fact it has Digimon in it. If the Digimon IP wasn't attached to this game, it would not have succeeded with its gameplay features alone.

Still, I enjoyed my experience with both CS & HM and I'm looking forward to Time Stranger!

Turn based dark souls within a beautifully painted world.

Just finished the game and I must say the facial animation, voice acting and music is some of/if not the best I've ever heard & seen, I went into this game blind without knowing anything and I did not expect the combat to be souls like. As someone who played numerous souls like, this game was familiar and yet refreshing at the same time. The combat does feel a little repetitive nearing towards the end of the game and the enrage mechanic made me almost put the game down for the day.

Is this my GOTY? not really. But i will never forget this experience and this wonderful story.

Very cute game. The characters are really well design and likeable, especially Yumia.

Main criticism for me are:
1) Camera goes wonky in some situation
2) Bloom & Light Shaft seems to be bugged, turning characters into a glowing light-stick in the afternoon.

Note for people picking up the game:
The combat has a bit of a learning curve, even-though it seems simple at first. Do give yourself sometime to get used to the combat.

Finally done with the tutorial :D

Upgrades from previous titles:
1) First time in MH history they bothered to craft a decent story. The story pacing was alright and it didn't overstay its welcome.
2) The new support hunters are really useful (better than some actual players).
3) Ability to swap between 2 weapons while out hunting makes for really fun encounters.
4) Seamlessly hunt from one monster to another out in the field without needing to go back to base.
5) New wound mechanic is really satisfying.

The main negative about this game (and it is a HUGE negative) is the performance. I can't say I'm surprised though as a Dragons Dogma 2 player. Even on a 5080 + 14900kf there were texture pop-ins. I hope they can, somehow, fix the performance issues.

I've completed all quest after 125 hours.... I'm not sure what to say other than I'm very sad that it's over...

I really hope this game gets a modding community that it deserves and I cannot wait for the DLCs to be released!

PoE1, 253 hrs: Started in 2017, played a few leagues and never stayed around for longer than lv 74.
PoE2: 185 hrs: Started day 2 of early access, 2 characters lv 85+ at T15+ maps and leveling another on the way.

I do wish the endgame is more like the campaign and not like PoE1. The endgame mapping/looting is kinda boring due to how MF is handled and finding the citadels is a chore.

Cannot wait for more classes/ascendancy to come!

Finally an SAO game that actually has quality.
So glad the devs of Fatal Bullet is back for another SAO game. Aquaria tarnished the game verse with AL and LR. I hope they are dropped completely as it shows they are either incompetent or unable to keep up with the times.

Back to this game, the game does have a bit of animation lock issue that while makes combat feel weighty, makes it feel restrictive at the same time. I hope they fine tune the combat a bit more. Aside from that I have no complains. I hope this game succeeds and we get more expansions/DLC and Aquaria never get to develop another SAO game ever again.

I hope at some point we will be able to have a customized character like in FB even if its with some basic abilities.

Not discounting anyone's experience, just want to share my experience with performance and the game so far.

Performance (with 1 Sorcerer & 1 Mage):

Not in combat: 58 - 67 FPS
City: 30 - 51 FPS (1 or 2 times it dropped to 24 when exiting from a building)

Misc:
No missing floor glitch
No crashes in my 10 hours of game time
Characters imported from demo without any issues
---------------------------------------

Guess I got pretty lucky being able to play the game without any of the missing floor glitch and without any crashes. Looking back even when CP2077 launched I played without any issues on a 980ti + i7 9th gen (after driver update) so maybe I have some powers against bad optimization launch games lol.

The game itself is incredibly fun and I hope capcom fixes the issues so more people can play this wonderful game. I personally have no issues with the mtx since all of it is easily obtainable through playing and ive watch capcom do this clown stunt to MHW and DMC for years now so eh.

Haven't laughed this hard with my friends in years!
