Scoot Scoot!
I finally overcame my fear and got back on my electric scooter! It was honestly so much fun, going around on my scooter within park trails and bike lanes is pretty exciting and thrilling. It's also akin to just itching my exploring curiosity to see what's been going on outside of my home.
Hello Readers! Been a while again, huh? At this rate, I might abandon the idea of doing daily posts because obviously I don't have that kind of drive. HOWEVER I'll say this though, I've been feeling better! Much better than last week because I've spent that time lowkey just recovering from the constant coffee drinking, late night studying, stressing the fucking hell out of my body. Finally, I've been playing a few nice games here and there. But let me say this. Right now, I've gone out of my way to finally figure something out... I might buy the upgrade permanently! I believe not only would it encourage me to post more but more importantly, customize this blog so I actually feel seen! It's kinda scary actually because this will turn from a small blog privately linked to a much more public one. But I think that's exactly what I need! However I think I'd do that at the end of this week, not today.
Anyways, let's talk about what I HAVE been doing! So, I've been playing Lost Judgment alot because I've felt that it's been a long time coming since I began playing before my semester then just stopped somewhere along the way, it was too much! But finally, now, I have gotten more and more into it and I can say this: It's already a 8/10, like closer to 8.8 actually. It's really good! I have a few things to say, pros and cons, so I'll ask ya to just bear in mind that I'll be ranting mostly rather than keeping it clean. Sorry not sorry ^u^
Alright, let's go over why this game is. I won't spoil anything so don't worry, I'm purely gonna talk about it from a gameplay standpoint. So, if you haven't played Judgment, I'll make it quick. It's basically a spin-off of Yakuza... I realized some of you might not know the Yakuza franchise. SO let me make it super duper easy.
Essentially there is a rather cult famous franchise known in the west as Yakuza, although I believe the Japanese title was originally "Like a Dragon"? Either way, it's basically the game in different titles. It's a franchise based on organized Japanese crime, particularly the Yakuza. They're the Mafia of the Asian world, almost rivaling with the Triads in China but not really. Yakuza are famous and I suggest you go on your own search on Yakuza in real life and the game series.
So why does this matter? Well Judgement is the spin-off of the Yakuza series, but instead you are a Private detective, ex-lawyer who lost a case in a horrible situation. It's crazy in plot but the gameplay was basically the same. The franchise as a whole is just beating people up in a 3D arena usually, essentially it's not isometric is what I'm saying. The gist of the gameplay is that you go around in Judgment, within this red light district in Tokyo fictionally created and known as Kamurocho.
Well not every game stays there, but in Judgment it was the main stage, and in most games it still is, but basically it's a bit open world, and you have stores to buy items, restaurants to eat in to restore health, girlfriends to date, skill points to buff Yagami (our main protagonist), and eventually you'd be able to get into side content as you progress the story along the way.
Now, Lost Judgment is the sequel of Judgment (finally, we're talking about the fucking game lmao), and so far... it's literally the best upgrade from one game to another, it was a huge improvement. Not only did we get a bunch of meaningful minigames (they're tied to side content), but they're also fucking FUN to play! I genuinely never felt such an urge to be just better and to improve no matter what since Red Dead Redemption 2 (best game in universe ever)
Also the plot from how long I've played (only a few hours in) and it's pretty good. I've loved the side content a lot in this instance because in Judgment, you had some side cases to solve, odd stories, and that's about it. But with this game, there is much more! School stories, side cases, and 1 other category I can't remember exactly, but it expanded for sure! It's not yet for me to rate the game fully but so far, it's an 8.8 out of 10.
Phew... that was a lot of words, I actually spent 2 days writing this one! Not really though lol, its most like I started yesterday then started today determined to finish this.
Here is the song of the day: Lotus Waters
And remember, you are loved <3
