Tranny Gears 5 and Wokelands 3 are virtually indistinguishable.

Yuzu is an alright waifu. Overclocked is next on my list when I finish with Record Breaker and yes, I am playing them out of order. Devil Survivor 2 is pretty great so far. Way better than SMT IV from what I've seen. Only a few levels in SMT IV really caught that Nocturne vibe of dungeon exploration in interesting places. There's too much persona bullshit in these new SMT games. You might think DeSu 2 would be a shitty persona game also, but it has way more endings, deeper characters and a nuanced Law/Chaos dichotomy. That plus the classic SMT gameplay mixed with final fantasy tactics makes it feel like a "real" SMT game.

Nocturne - and hopefully SJ - is even nice enough to give you a little hint how close you are to the next random battle. Unless I'm misremembering stuff.

You can just skip super clunky SMT1 because SMT2 is basically a "if" story where Law side won in SMT1. You are just a Nameless One, I mean, a gladiator with no past memory and none of main characters in SMT1 appears in SMT2. I actually played SMT2 first and had no problem.

But SMT IV is full of animu bullshit and stupid weeb characters like Isabeau who have one defining character trait (likes manga) and love to sperge about nothing in cutscenes.
Well, tbh all the SMT games have some anime feel to it to a certain degree but it was edgy anti-trope one, not pantie harem one. SMT1 is mechanically a crappy game but it did lots of stuff other major JRPGs (or WRPGs) hadn't done yet, it was so innovative and original for its time. Get your shit together or just kill the franchise you ATLUS fuck. I want something creepy and weird, not a hentai with nakamas.

The new demon designs in SMT IV are all mostly bad from what I can tell. Especially the redesigns of kaneko art.
AFAIK Amazon.co.jp page for SMT 4 was review bombed by Nip SMT fans because of those new designs (I've never played SMT4, thus I have no I idea if the criticism is valid though). I wonder why ATLUS always has this particular issue of being NOT able to introduce new music/art style properly, unlike other companies like SqEni which delivers basically the same but different enough thing all the time.

In Noctourne ATLUS re-used a lot of old materials and fans didn't care much because it was like a reboot of SMT1, but they (seemingly) still do this re-use/rehash/remix/cameo/recycle stuff they really can't keep doing this it gets old.

SMT2 is certainly on my to-do list. Just not sure whether I'll tackle that one before or after a run of SMT3 (featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series), since I haven't touched that one in ages.

And I think I just created some fake news earlier and got the names of those two Devil Survivor games confused. I've started Overcucked, not Soy Cucker.

What system is SMT2 for? Isn't it for some obscure nipshit system?

Anyway, Strange Journey and Nocturne sit at the top of the pile for (((contemporary))) SMT. Atlus of current year has no fucking idea what they want to do with SMT. SMT IV is pretty bad (outside of the gameplay, which is middling) and Apocalypse looks worse.

SMT2 was released for something caled the Su-pa Fa-mi-com. Pretty obscure. You've probably never heard of it.

Trails again. Rising got new DLC last night. Just managed to beat one of the new extreme difficulty tracks. Took me 35 minutes and 284 faults. Fuck me dead, those are spicy! I won't bother to show a video. Remember the one of Inferno V? That feels like a nice warm up now. Every fucking checkpoint on this track was difficult but nothing ever felt unfair.

Edit: Fuck yeah, that's the ticket! I failed on one of the new extreme tracks at the last part, an awkwardly curved extreme incline. Fucked about on that for 15 minutes but felt like fantastic training. To see if I really improved, I went back to one of the previous extreme tracks No Fly Zone. Didn't even have bronze on that one previously and just got silver first try and it didn't feel like the near impossible struggle it did just a few days ago.
That's why I like the series so much. It truly rewards effort.
