The Gamesilog Show

When Katsura Hashino said he wanted to try something new, I remembered the phrase "One For Me, One For Them". Madalas 'to ginagamit ng mga filmmakers to balance their career. "One For Them" refers to commercial films. "One For Me" refers to more creatively challenging projects. I will always have my bias towards Persona series but Metaphor: ReFantazio offered a wider and heavier themes than Persona 3, Persona 4, & Persona 5 all combined. Itong Metaphor, brainchild na talaga 'to nila Katsura Hashino, Shigenori Soejima & Shoji Meguro e.

Themes like anxiety, theocracy, discrimination, inequality, and racism - lahat na-cover sa Metaphor: ReFantazio.

It's highly political too! One can argue that this game is full of DEI but you know what? The game delivered. A well written story is a well written story - kahit ano pang themes 'yung meron sa game.

In this episode, kasama ko si Dre at Sky para magkwentuhan tungkol sa Metaphor: ReFantazio. We talked about the story, gameplay, music, and characters. It's hard to avoid and I think it's valid rin naman, we also compared Metaphor sa Persona. Hindi talaga maiwasan e.

GOTY? Let's see!

Off Topic Recommendation:

Dre: AeroPress (https://aeropress.com)

Sky: Dandadan

Gets ko. Ang sarap at nakaka-adik magbukas ng booster packs sa TCG Pokemon. Kung may pera lang ako, napagastos na siguro 'ko. I would assume same feeling rin siya sa pag pull ng waifu/husbando sa Genshin Impact or kung ano mang Gacha Games ang nilalaro niyo 'no? Iba e. Yung feeling ng anticipation at 'yung "Isa pa, baka this time makuha ko na si Nahida". Sarap talaga e.

Ang tanong, predatory nga ba ang gacha games?

In this episode, nagkwentuhan kami nila Bonbon at Drei tungkol sa mga Gacha Games na nilaro namin at kung magkano na 'yung nagastos namin. Dapat bang magkaroon ng regulation or law para sa mga games na 'to?

Predatory nga ba dahil tina-target 'yung mga may addictive personalities tulad ko?

Dre: Arcane Season 2 (Netflix)

Bonbon: Ranma 1/2 Remake

Kumusta experience niyo sa open beta ng Monster Hunter Wilds? Same hype level pa rin ba after playing or medyo may kaba kung ma-polish pa ng Capcom 'yung game bago i-release next year?

Sa mga kilala ko, I can confidently say Nintendo ang gateway namin sa video games. Super Mario 3, Ice Climber, Battle City, at marami pang iba. Hindi siguro ako gamer at podcaster ngayon kung hindi dahil sa Nintendo games.

Dahil sa success ng Metaphor: ReFantazio, ito na ba ang bagong flagship ng Atlus over Persona? Captured ba whole gaming experience kung ini-speedrun mo 'yung game sa 1st playthrough? Also, may sense pa ba mag post ng gaming achievements kung wala namang taga-"Nice one, baby"?

In this episode, nagbabalik si Daddy Grim at si MasterRCB na inspired raw gusto na rin magka-baby. And of course, our main character na si Duckbird. Kwentuhan tungkol sa mga games na backlogs at frontlogs. Mukhang wala na yata kaming natapos. Kailangan ba ng Project Ubos Backlogs Season 2?

May PoC na character? Woke 'yan! Hindi textbook pretty 'yung babaeng/lalakeng protagonist? Woke 'yan! May LGBTQ+ na character? Woke 'yan! May pronouns? Woke 'yan!

Hindi ko na alam. Ano na ba ang ibig sabihin ng woke in video games?

In this episode, nagkwentuhan kami nila Bonbon and Dre tungkol sa woke and DEI in video games.

Totoo bang go woke go broke? May pake ba kami kung ginawang babae 'yung protagonist ng Ghost of Yotei? May pake ba kami kung trans si Madeline ng Celeste? Hindi na ba namin bibilhin 'yun game kasi may pronouns 'yung characters? Pumanget ba 'yung overall experience namin sa Elden Ring at iba pang games kasi it contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging and uses body type in place of biological sex during character creation?

Astro Bot reminded me of the main reason why I play video games - to have fun. Buong playthrough ko, bawat levels, bawat gimmicks, bawat cameos, nahuhuli ko 'yung sarili kong nakangiti at nakatulala sa TV. Ang sarap maging bata ulit!

Reveal ng Ghost of Yotei and its female protagonist. Buhay na naman ang internet sa kanya-kanyang diskurso tungkol sa female lead at voice actor nito. Thoughts?

New chapter ng TGS!

I'm thrilled and excited beyond words to announce na moving forward, tatlo na kaming hosts ng podcast. Ako na PlayStation ang main platform, si Bonbon na #PCMasterRace, at si Dre na platform agnostic. Itong combo at differences naming tatlo, for sure magbibgay ng new flavor sa show at mas malawak na range ng mga topics na pwedeng i-cover.

In this episode, para mas makilala niyo kami, we discussed kung nakaka-apekto ba 'yung personality types namin sa mga games na nilalaro namin. Ano ba 'yung mga driving factors kung bakit trip namin 'yung mga certain type of games over the other?

Enjoy!

Kung mahal rin ang Switch 2 with minimal improvements, bibilhin mo pa rin ba? Thoughts sa easy mode/beginner mode sa games? Considered cheating ba kapag gumagamit ng guide/walkthrough sa games?
