As far as I can remember, on the Vita version, arrows match the colour of the buttons. I did enjoy the soundtrack of BA, mostly since it was included with the game and getting to listen to it without worrying about buttons and stuff makes it easier to enjoy it IMO. Though for what it's worth, I could never get into the Hatsune Miku games, tried the demo for a couple of them, but the buttons/arrows/everything spawning in different parts of the screen, as opposed to a neatly organized line was too much for me to keep up. Overall, for me the best rythm game I've played has been Rock Band, and that's mostly because it gave me a way to play drums without annoying other people.

Got the third ending and the platinum in The Witch and the Hundred Knight. Getting all 3 endings gives you most of the trophies, with only a couple being somewhat easy to miss, thankfully, they're not hard to get, as the game tells you which areas have pillars which are not yet active, and the other one just requires starting a NG+ save and making a couple of choices at the beginning, pretty simple stuff.

Ended up getting the digital edition, though the Noble Phantasm Edition includes a really cool cloth poster, importing it is too expensive ATM and no local retailers have it, also, XSEED made the DLC outfits available only to digital pre-orders, and they've said there are no plans to sell it separately.

Here we go again! Got it with trading card money.

The Witch and the Hundred Knight (PS3 edition, not the Revival edition ). Tried to get all three endings before the end of the year, but fell short of one thanks to a bunch of farming/grinding/annoying stuff. Overall a fun game, the gigacalories thingy can be annoying in some areas, but it ended up being much more tolerable than expected thanks to the pillars which allow you to replenish them with bonus points. Combat is pretty fun with all the weapons you can get, though for the most part I avoided the magic category, as those were too slow to be useful, except for certain enemies which are immune to other types of damage. The tochka stuff is fun, they're things you can summon which have various roles and abilities, some spawn a turret that deals magic damage, others allow you to map an area without consuming gcals, and there's one that allows you to summon mini-knights, tiny little things that attack enemies, not terribly strong, but they can serve as a distraction during boss fights. I actually got it on release day, but stopped playing for a long time for reasons I can't remember. So it was fun getting back into it, having some trouble in the area I was in, only to realize that this was due to me having forgotten to update my equipment, running around with weapons that deal 57 damage points, when you have stuff with 700+ damage in your inventory makes things unnecessarily difficult. The story is... something, it's really weird, with a super dark humour thing going on, it's certainly not for everyone. The endings aren't hard to get as long as you manage your saves, biggest issue is that one requires the killing of three special bosses which can be a pain in the ass, followed by a chapter where all enemies are now much stronger (that's where I'm at right now ).

Sorry about that, I meant CCC. I actually own the special edition of Extra for the PSP. Extella takes place in the same universe as the Extra games, but for the most part, you'll be able to enjoy this one without playing the previous two, you might miss a reference or two about the previous games, or wonder why certain servants act the way they do towards the player character, but aside from that, you'll still be able to enjoy the game. I do recommend Extra though it's pretty fun. Main thing you should know if you're coming from the anime series is that this isn't related to them, it's very much its own thing, aside from certain servants and characters from the anime/VN that show up, and even then, those sometimes behave in completely different ways, also, it doesn't take place in the real world (or earth for that matter), rather, the whole thing is a simulation inside a magical-super-computer-of-doom that's on/is the moon. Been a while since I played Extra but that's the most important thing I can think of right now. TL;DR You should be fine playing this even if you haven't played the others, but Extra is a fun game!

Game of the Year and Surprise of the Year: Never thought this would be released over here, so it's here as both my GOTY and surprise of the year. Resurrection is a great update on Burst and Rage Burst is awesome. Disapointment of the Year: Thought it looked cool until I played the beta. Favourite Moment in a Game: Kinda weird having this here as I've only played the demo, but that opening bit was fucking awesome! \m/ \m/ Most Anticipated in 2017: Shame Extra (Edit: meant CCC ) was never released over here, but still super exited about this one. \m/ \m/

Thanks Jolliest of Ethans! For Grim Fandango Remastered! \m/ \m/

Thanks Dean! \m/ \m/

Apparently they're building this just for the hell of it, with no specific purpose in mind. \m/ \m/

When people go "why do you like that/those games, there are way better games made by better studios you should play instead!" when comparing stuff like arcadey racing games to hardcore racing simulators, it's like, yeah, how dare people play a game that's just about having fun instead of a game that almost requires an engineering degree to understand.
