THIS Kingdom Hearts game, in particular.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO DIE: Resident Evil 6

Alex and I recently managed to get together with a couple of friends for another episode of I TOLD YOU NOT TO DIE (the first of which can be found here on my main channel, pre-arcadexpoints). ITYNTD is basically us attempting to play horror games and totally failing at it.

Resident Evil 6 felt more shooter than horror though, like its predecessor, but it was still fun getting to play it (or rather, scream while our other friends played). I do wish we got to play something scarier, because footage would've been more entertaining. I feel like the horror factor in the RE franchise has steadily declined, focusing more on co-op and firearms than trying to scare players. But I've never thoroughly played an RE game, so what do I know?

On a totally unrelated note, I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED IN MONTHS!!! To be frank, I just wasn't playing anything anymore. I picked up an old game sometime in September, but eventually lost interest and I just never got around to playing anything -- or at least anything worth talking about. I do hope I can successfully pull myself to playing (and, more importantly, finishing) Lightning Returns before the year ends, but, knowing me, the chances of that are fifty-fifty... Though that's a better ratio than my chances of surviving horror games.

EXPLOSIONS

8 bajillion guns, hours of gameplay with added dlc-content, single player and up-to four player co-op, and explosions.

Yeah. Borderlands 2.

Monster Hunting Madness

There's just something relatively therapeutic about gathering quests where you have to swim underwater to mine, sneak behind giant dodo/peacock hybrid birds in order to retrieve a golden egg and smacking overgrown mosquitos around. Until, of course, a giant shark-bird-thing-with-legs decides to wander where you are and proceed to water-canon your butt all the way to the other side of the screen.

No, just me?

Oh.

Now if the title didn't tip you off, this is a post on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3DS.

Art Book: DmC Devil May Cry Visual Art

I know what you're thinking: "ANOTHER post on DmC? Really Ina? Do you not obsess over anything else?!" I'll have you know that I do obsess over many things, like anime and kpop, but I can't just have a copy of this and not talk about it, right?

While I was a little underwhelmed when I finished the game (which you can read about here + my first impression here), at the end of it I thought, "Man, it'd be nice if I could have a copy of the art book." I wasn't pinning for it or anything, but having unlocked some of the official artwork you're awarded with in-game, I thought it'd be cool to actually have an actual physical copy of these visuals for myself. Lo and behold, I found it at the mall a few weeks later.

Some minor spoilers for characters/area designs under the cut!

I'll see you in (3D) court

Having recently finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (mouthful much), I figured a post to share my thoughts and, more importantly, feels, was in order. Spoilers below if you've never played this game and its predecessors!

Final thoughts on DmC: Devil May Cry

Hey, yo, I finished DmC! Surprised? So am I - mostly at how fast I managed to finish it. In this post I'll be delving more into the storyline, boss fights, difficulty level and so on… Some minor spoilers ahead, just a heads up!
