Skill Issue

This week on Skill Issue, we share our Aion 2 first impressions and review Five Hearts Under One Roof—a Korean MMORPG and a live-action dating simulator that gave us very different reasons to keep playing.Around the campfire, we talk Aion 2’s combat, character customization, graphics, voice acting, and whether its story can keep us interested until endgame. That turns into a discussion about what makes an MMO worth sticking with, progression systems, and Fortnite’s changing identity.Then we get into Five Hearts Under One Roof: the ridiculous dialogue choices, branching romance routes, and why playing a dating sim with friends ended up being so much fun. We rank all five romance options, discuss the endings, and explain why this Korean romantic comedy surprised us—despite some frustrating translations and progression quirks.Two Korean games. One very Korean episode.Includes story and ending spoilers for Five Hearts Under One Roof.CHAPTERS00:00 Campfire intro03:00 Aion 2 first impressions22:03 What makes an MMO successful?30:29 Fortnite, progression, and battle passes37:55 Five Hearts Under One Roof review51:13 Ranking the five romance routes1:12:56 Who should play Five Hearts?1:19:28 Final verdict and frustrations1:22:00 Wrap-up

Welcome back to Skill Issue Season 2! The guys have all been rather busy over the last couple months and are starting to get back into the swing of things so we thought now was a good time officially transition to season 2. However season 2 may be delayed indefinitely... jk expect more content more reels and more shorts.

The crew (minus Ben) Discusses Destiny 2 and its upcoming update -- then they discuss indie games with a rapid fire triple review from Nathanael begging the question, are indie games the only good games left?

Beautiful game. Decent soundtrack. Forgettable experience? We review Mixtape and try to figure out why something so charming left us cold.

The crew is back with an electric episode covering a game that came out less than 24 hours before recording. Neverness to Everness! we discuss the good the bad and all things gacha related. including some political beef with western and eastern cultures.

The crew is back and worse-r than ever! Nathanael has now played 125 hours of crimson desert while Connor and Ben have played around 25. We share our initial thoughts of things we like and don't like and plenty of other general nonsense. We also had spicy burritos for dinner so enjoy us walking out of frame!

Ben had some serious technical difficulties this episode: his mic was off for 10 minutes and the camera stopped recording 15 minutes in. Stay tuned to watch everything go wrong. If you've seen our previous episode talking about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle you know we sand its praises. Listen to our thoughts about its DLC
