Media Thread (2025)

New year, new thread for games and maybe manga. I hope it's longer than last years but given that this post is on February... I doubt it lol. Let's have a fun year of gaming!

I'd say give it more time. Most RGG games have a very slow first few hours with tons of tutorials.

Worth a try for that price. It's definitely a Yakuza game with FOTNS chars. The gameplay is very different too.

My prob w/ it is the pacing and side-content. It's pretty grindy and drab. Not fun for me.

I don't like this game but it's a must-play for Fist of the North Star fans.

Hades 2 is one of those games I played at the perfect time. I'm just focused on it and barely doom scrolling and getting depressed the past few days. So much fun. #Hades2

Also Frinos can come as a pet?! Let's go!

"Familiar Gained" unlocking the ability to bring pets with you. I got Frinos the frog.

Been wanting to play Gachitora since forever, hoping it'd get localized one day. Well, might as well use a translator. Did this for Ishin and Kurohyou years ago and I got through it fine. Hope it gets localized because it's really fun so far. It's basically Yakuza meets Great Teacher Onizuka.

Hmm... wonder if the game will go that route? That'd be awesome (see ALT)

Zagreus, a man with spiky hair and red robes, talking to Melinoe.

"What is it, do you have to go again? Then don't wait up on my account. I'll see what I can do and speak to you when next you haunt my dreams. Take care, Sister! We'll sort this out."

Theory: After Melinoe's final descent, we will switch to Zagreus to thwart Chronos and forge a better future for Melinoe (growing up normally and w/ family instead of for revenge)

Respect to y'all who actually crank this stuff up lol. That couldn't be me 😂

I forgot that she curses you. Talking to her is muscle memory at this point. RIP run 😅 #Hades2

Good morning and also death to Cronos

Ayyy. Unga Bunga hammer never disappoints 😌 #Hades2

Got the hammer upgrade where your attack only has 1 move but has +300 power. Chronos is so dead 😂

Panda Kiwami 3 🎮 Hades 2 | SMT5: Vengeance @r0ttenpanda.bsky.social · 2d

Think I found my favorite weapon so far. Unga bunga builds are the best. #Hades2

First time reaching Chronos (Night 7). Build is very random so wish me luck 😂 #Hades2

I can imagine it getting convoluted since we're dealing with time stuff here. Hope it sticks the landing on the ending.

Goodness. 60 runs! I can only hope I'm not burnt out by that point. Usually it takes 20+ runs in Hades 1 before I take breaks.

Final Fantasy Image you can hear
