Life highkey feels great being alone

I used to believe that being alone was a bad thing and that only by being alongside others I would find fulfillment and joy but that statement has been been proven wrong recently for me.

In recent times I have broken relationships with people that I realized didn’t feel my emotions neither tried to emphasize with me, instead by being alone I have come to find who are really the people I want to call friends and spend time with, its not a big group but I’ll rather have 2 friends I know I’ll probably only see once a month and when I see them know we would catch up, have a good time, back each other up, than have 10 friends I see everyday and all they do is complain, judge, do something hateful and doesn’t add nothing to my life or our relationship.

Same can be said for romantic relationships, I used to be desperate for love and find someone to be with but in reality I was scared of being left alone, with time I come to want and have feelings for people that I genualy like, instead of telling every pretty face I meet and threats me with 30% kindness that I love them, I know what I want in a romantic relationship and what I seek with it.

Its all thanks to being alone with my thoughts during the night or when I’m at the park sitting in a bench hitting a smoke, walking around the river close to my house and admiring the nature that I have come to love being alone, no noise, no judgment, no screaming, no arguments, just the wind and sound of peace, I have learned what love and friendship are truly about too by being alone too, in general, being alone teaches a lot of good things, even if the price is that youre life is boring but I personally will rather be like this, boring and peaceful.

This is MY favorite Gantz reference in other Oku Mangas

I just read this chapter of Oku’s new manga and it seems really fun but dear lord after this seeing this reference I’m genualy hooked, I’ll probably be reading it starting today, i love Oku, what a goat.

I also love that one of the guys points out the girl looks like Reika which honestly, many characters from the other mangas do look like her.

Honest Review of ALL the Mainline games after playing them plus Tier Lists

Look at me at 3 am making a review of Dead or Alive but you know what? Its goddamn worth it cuz this franchise its FUCKING AWESOME so lets rock ig.

Dead or Alive 1
🎖️This game is rough around the edges, yeah nothing new, for their first try on a 3D fighting game it was decent, not spectacular but worth the try, now, there a lot of good things, the stages for as old as they are they look great for a ps1 game and overall I dig the artstyle the game had going on, shoutout to Team Ninja for adding giggle psychics in this game but dear lord it feels unbalanced af at times, honestly a respectful but rough first entry.

Overall score: 6/10

Dead or Alive 2
⭐️ Holy shit the jump from 1 to 2 its fucking insane no joke, I actually played 2 first before 1 but holy shit after playing it after trying 1 its fucking crazy, somehow, with one game they nailed the franchise identity and set the foot for the next 3 entries, the stages are amazing, the music is electrifying, the combat is intense and fast paced but with a lot of concentration to not fuck up, the voice acting is silly but charming even if some voices don’t fit and the dialogue out of context sounds weird, nothing too crazy or new to say about 2, its simply a passionate project and game as a whole, its fucking awesome, the only issue is the counter spamming that the opponent does(the com) but other than that nothing that ruins the experience.

Overall score: 9/10

Dead or Alive 3
🌟 Absolute Cinema, no joke, how did they go from Peak to Peak, i don’t know how but Itagaki and the team achieved this, the gameplay improved a freaking lot, even more, the stages transitions are just the definiton of hype, the music is great, this game introduced Hitomi, the CINEMATOGRAPHY during the fights and ending cutscenes, this game its just a massive WOAH in all of its aspects and to be honest at first I didn’t click with it but god after giving it more tought and putting more attention into it I realized how freaking great it is as a whole, lost world top 5 stages in fighting games history, the endings are just cinema specially Ayane’s and that final boss fight against Omega was just fire, literally and objectively, what a fucking game.

Overall score: 10/10

Dead or Alive 4
✨I might sound weird but 4 its just 3 but prettier in some areas, like the UI for example and stuff like that but in terms of gameplay and almost the whole roster its the same as 3, some stages are better but I find the nature and realism of 3’s more likeable than the ones from 4, the endings of the characters were high af like whatever they were smoking that shit gottem on the moon, Kasumi ending for example, little mermaid ahh reference, the music was great but not better than the last 2 titles, overall, I think 4 its a cool game but that doesn’t try to be any different, what is cool tho is the japanese dub, “Hitomi Power Up” top tier dialogue and Lei Fang’s voice, mamacita, dear lord in heavens she sounds so good here. (Alpha 152 can go fuck herself tho)

Overall score: 8/10

Dead or Alive 5
🌟 5 its just everything or most of the things that made this franchise great put into one game, I know Itagaki didn’t work on it but maybe its just me but I felt his presence in this game somehow, the story wasn’t great, it was quitly entertaining, it had charm to it and I liked that they gave the non protagonists a part into it, that was cool even tho those parts were unecessary and had -50% impact on the story but oh well, the last sections were cool imo and that plot twist might have been taken out of an ass but I kinda dig it in some way. The gameplay of this game its just gameplay, literally, gameplay, fun, addictive, tense gameplay, the stages were amazing, the tokyo one with all the destruction when you transition was cinema and the overall look of the characters was such a welcomed improvement, the voice acting was actually quite nice and seeing the aof characters was cool, the only downside I can think of its that the music was a downgrade but nothing too bad, just a bit under the last 3 games. (My biggest regret is never getting the chance to play as Mai and Honoka)

Overall score: 10/10

I will like to thank Itagaki for creating this wonderful franchise, with each entry(except 6) you can feel his passion and soul in them, what an amazing director he was and his vision, creative and ideas that went against the norm ended up paying up and made an iconic fighting gamr franchise, that I will dear to say its my favorite 3D fighting game franchise, second overall in terms of fighting games and 5 its my top 10 favorite games of all time, 3 in the top 15 and 2 in the overall Top 30, what an awesome franchise.

Funnily its the only fighting game franchise that has made me tear up, like, I was so overwhelmed by the intense fighting, the beautiful stages, the heavenly soundtrack and the fine beauties like my wives Lei Fong, Hitomi and Kasumi, I simply had to appreciate this game and cry cuz it was just beautiful to experience this franchise, every fight from 1 to 5 felt amazing, even tho I got my ass kicked like 300 times but hey, fun is fun and challenges are to be overcome.

Thank you Itagaki and I hope youre resting in peace Goat, thank you for creating DOA🕊️.

Can’t wait for 7, please let it be announce at EVO.

Honest Review of Yakuza 4 AFTER replaying it plus Tier List Update

Since its been a fat while since I have played the “worst titles” in the Yakuza franchise, I have decided to replay them again to see how my opinion of them has changed now that I have new priorities when it comes to games in general, the first one its Yakuza 4 which I finished like 5 days ago so heres a quick honest review without spoilers.

Story: 8/10

I’m going to straight up say it, the story of 4 isn’t terrible neither bad at all, yes, even with that super plot twist that everyone likes to bring up every 2 seconds, does it have some conveniences and coincidences? Yeah but thats any Yakuza game if you actually pay attention and 4 is no different. What I will say is that 4 has such an entertaining plot and cast of characters that hype up this game a lot, I know Akiyama is the one who everybody likes to get on the knees for but imma be honest here, Akiyama is likeable and all but Saejima is the best character in the whole game in terms of writing, story and feels like the genuine protagonist and after finishing the game he has become one of my favorite characters in the whole franchise, top 5 even but dear lord, Tanimura my beloved, his so much cooler than Akiyama, he has actual peak moments and his so badass without the need to do anything crazy, his entire part of the story its really good and I hate RGG for wasting such a cool character, Kiryu is cool like always but his unnecessary to the plot and should have been left out but oh well, the rest of the cast its really cool and honestly the antagonists aren’t so bad, they aint top 5 or 10 but they are different and bring a new take on antagonists which I really appreciate, Arai my beloved and Kido another cool character.

Why an 8 and not a 9? Well, Yasuko, yeah, she is mid, I don’t hate her but dear lord she made some dumbass decisions that just made me go “whatever dawg” and move on, I still think she has some complexity to her and think she had so much more potential but the decisions she made were so stupid.

Overall, the story of 4 has better moments than bad ones honestly, I’m not gonna compare its plot to other games but at least I feel 4 story is a lot better than many of the recent games.

Gameplay: 9/10

I LOVE 4’s gameplay, challenging and fun, exactly how I like my gameplay, the game actually pushes you to learn its mechanics and spend time on them, if I had to choose my favorite it would be Tanimura’s, defenseive and strategic, weak but still strong if you know how to use it, plus he has the best heat actions in the entire game, second it would go to Saejima, his just fun to play with, if you use him well his just unbeatable and a walking Hulk, last is Akiyama, not cuz its bad or anything I just enjoyed the others more than his, Kiryu isn’t mentioned cuz his just a terminator in this game.

The only bad thing is how sometimes the enemies grab so much, maybe its just me tho. The bosses also aren’t really anything threatening or difficult either except for the final bosses.

Soundtrack: 10/10

Nothing much to say here, Whiskey and Rhapsodey top 10 Yakuza OST’s, Rebellion is peak and Infinite Handcuff is going to be playing at my wedding, nothing much to say, the final bosses theme its just heavenly to listen to, overall, Yakuza 4 has top 5 soundtracks in the franchise.

Final Score for Yakuza 4 = 8.7/10

Pros: Really entertaining and overall great story, has some issues but not to the point of ruining the experience, the cast and characters are fun, iconic and help keep things entertaining, the gameplay is fun and actually feels worth to learn and the soundtrack is just chef kisses.

Cons: The bosses aren’t that challenging nor feel threatening at all, except for maybe the ones who add to the story and plot, the grabbing in the street encounters suck a bit too much and Yasuko should have been handled better.

Overall, Persona 4 is the best Persona game, go play it.
