Doki Doki Universe is about a robot named QT3 who needs to learn about human emotions or else he'll be scrapped. He also has his balloon friend and a little girl he misses and wants to see again. So he'll travel from world to world in order to find out about human emotions.
This game has two parts. The first part is traveling to the different worlds and helping out the people you see there. You can do this in numerous ways, depending on what they want. You have the ability to summon certain objects, move people around, and even greet them in different ways. Each world has a general “theme” to it to help QT3 learn about different emotions. You'll also get presents with which you can decorate your home world, change your robot's look, and also the look of his flying space steed. The second part is personality quizzes that you can take around the planets to get a sort of personality profile.
First off, I love personality quizzes. Love them. And there are some really fun and silly ones in this game and I had so much fun with them. The main game itself is very sweet and touching, but also humorous. Overall the game is very easy and good for something more relaxing and sweet. But what I didn't like was that you have to pay extra for a complete game. Not all of the worlds and quizzes can be unlocked unless you pay more, and that really bothered me. It would be one thing to pay for just extras, but I don't want to pay more just to get the full game. If it wasn't for that, this game would have ranked much higher. But it's still good fun and even with the extra, it doesn't cost all that much.
And that wraps up the 80's! This evening I will post up the first of the 70's!
Sorry to come in so late but SPYRO
So, Spyro 2 is easily my least favorite of the PS1 era (the only ones I've played), namely because even though it has the fewest MacGuffins (orbs, in this case), some of them are SO INSANELY HARD TO GET. I did it...once...many, many years after first getting the game. But even YotD's 150 dragon eggs were easier to round up than those freaking orbs. But I really hope Spyro 1 and 3 show up on this list because they're both AWESOME.
I'm discussing my 108, er, 111 favorite games of all time in THIS THREAD so go check it out and join the conversation!
79. Tekken 2
Last one for tonight
Tekken 2 is about a fighting tournament. Another fighting game that I don't pay much attention to the story. There's a devil and an angel that can shoot lasers out of their eyes though!
Tekken is a fighting game, so the goal is to beat your opponent up. As with a lot of fighting games, you can also play different modes depending on what you want to play. In the Tekken series, the triangle, square, O, and X correspond to left and right punches and left and right kicks. Combining them will create combos and throws. I always set throws to the shoulder buttons because it was easier.
Tekken 2 is the first game I played. No, not the first game in the series, the first game ever. And I loved it. I had thumb blisters for a good long time. I sucked at it, I still do, but it was fun. The game hasn't aged well and later entries have done what it does better, but it was still a very popular game when it came out and it did bring in a lot of fans. And it's hard to tell now but it was quite an improvement on the first one. But even though it isn't the best in the series, it's still a good game, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Favourite character: Jun coYvZtH.jpg
Honourable mentions: Anna rBroT7p.jpg
I liked Jun because I thought she was pretty so I got more familiar with her move set. Fun fact: I learned a few of her moves in real life because I was such a fan. I used to like her second outfit more, but now I much prefer the first one. Although her fighting style is no longer my favourite, she was my first ever favourite video game character so that's pretty special. Anna has been a long running favourite of mine. She was basically a Nina pallet swap in this game but I still enjoyed using her a lot.
Ah, the first Tekken...good fun at the arcades!
Tekken 2... now that's a nostalgic feeling. I remember playing a demo version of it when I was little. Jun was always one of my favorite characters and the main reason I eventually bought TTT2.

Well, yeah. Naturally.There is when the game is FFXIII.There's no such thing as objectively when it comes to video games.I don't know if I could either. My list is very subjective and purely based off of which games I enjoyed more, and not which game is objectively better
Tekken 2 was my favourite incarnation of the Tekken series. It just felt great to play and was probably the beat-em-up I played most after Street Fighter 2.
I spent ages getting all the secret characters. Even that weird boxing kangaroo.
78. The Sims 3
The Sims 3 story is whatever you want it to be! It's a life simulator, so you make some characters and give them a purpose and then see what happens.
In the Sims, you make a character (or several) and then you can either build them a house yourself or move them in to an existing one. You can make friends, get married, raise kids, get a job. You also need to make sure their basic needs are taken care of. This entry is better about not having to micromanage them, but you still have to make sure they have what they need.
I've never played a PC Sims game, although I hope to one day, because it will probably take out some of the limits from the console version. But even with those limits, this game is still great fun. I liked making all different types of families or households and seeing where they went. My favourite was a family that wanted to raise four kids, so they had four boys and a girl and raised them from little babies in to adults. It was so much fun to see them grow up and see where life took them. I also had a party house of six teenagers with purposely annoying personalities, and it was really funny to watch. The game is a great time sink, and the house building is awesome. There's a fire limit on the houses, which could get annoying, but I liked coming up with all different types of homes and stuff.
The Sims 3 is always good fun. I love the LP's people make out of 'em, especially the screenshot-based ones I can read at work. =]
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I need to catch up on some things I missed.
I wholeheartedly support Soul Calibur III being on this list and being your favorite Soul Calibur. Tekken 2 kicks ass!
77. FFVII
Final Fantasy VII follows our hero Cloud who is hired on to assist an eco-terrorist group called AVALANCHE as they try to stop the evil Shinra corporation from destroying the Planet. Eventually their journey takes them well outside of the city of Midgar and Cloud learns a bit more about himself than he could have imagined.
This game is similar in some ways to the FF series. The battles use the ATB system and a menu to select Attack, Item, or other such commands. In this game, abilities are used by equiping Materia to weapon slots. Each Materia has its own use, such as allowing the character to use Fire or Ice, or other effects such as allowing the character to target all enemies or allies. There are a total of 9 playable characters, 2 of them being optional, with 3 being usable in battle at a time.
General impressions:
My opinion of Final Fantasy VII has changed over the years. This was the fourth Final Fantasy game I ever played. The three I played immediately before it (I got them all at the same time) I absolutely adored. But this one for some reason I did not. I made it about halfway through Disc 1. A few years later, after hearing more about it and learning how much people love this game, I gave it another shot. Made it almost through Disc 1. A while later I tried again, this time forcing myself over the Disc 1 hill... and then stopped. It was only within the past 2 years or so that I finally set out to finish this game. I pushed through that Disc 1 that couldn't keep me invested, and... I liked it a lot better. I think it greatly improves after the climax of the first disc, and I think a large part of why I didn't like it was because of Aeris. With that being said, I still don't like it nearly as much as a lot of other Final Fantasy games, but it is a solid game and I'm glad I stuck it out.
Story:
The story I think had a lot of potential. I always love stories that add in some psychological aspect and especially one about learning one's own identity. But sadly for me it fell a bit flat. A large part of it might be because I wasn't given a cast of characters I actually cared about, but some of it was just poor story telling. I understand the general story, but some of it just still won't stick in my mind. I have no trouble following some more complex stories (Xenogears) and they get me invested and interested but this one just wasn't told in a way I could follow, understand, and sympathize with. But it was still a good overall story and it dealt with some interesting themes, which I appreciated. It also had some beautiful and touching scenes that really stuck with me, specifically (SPOILER)Dyne committing suicide and (SPOILER)Red XIII and his father shedding those tears.
Gameplay:
The gameplay I overall enjoyed. The controls were clunky and uncomfortable, and I didn't like losing Materia slots when changing equipment (I liked to keep the same Materia on my characters at all times) but other than that it was pretty fun. I liked being able to customize my characters, the Limit Break system was pretty well done, it had a wide variety of side-quests and mini-games to enjoy, and it was easy as all heck, which I really liked. Overall pretty fun.
World:
This world was pretty forgettable to me, save a few areas here and there. Most of it didn't get me excited, and I need to see a world map to remember most of it. But I did really like Cosmo Canyon for the story and the awesome music, and also Icicle Inn because it's pretty and snowy, which I really liked.
Characters:
Overall I'm not a huge fan of the cast. I really like Red XIII, I don't mind Tifa, Cait Sith and Yuffie are kind of meh, Barret has grown on me, and the rest I pretty much hate. But I do like the amount of development they get and also some of the relationships between them. Like the friendship between Barret and Tifa I find to be really well written and under appreciated.
Favourite character: Red XIII U67LAXX.jpg
Honourable mention: Tifa 6P7kOHZ.jpg
I like Red XIII for his attitude and maturity and the scenes with his father were heartbreaking and touching. I'm just sad he gets so little relevance in the story. Tifa is a sweet and caring woman with some great scenes, so it's hard to go wrong there.
Overall the game is fun and easy with an interesting story and some well-written characters. For the most part I did not appreciate it's sense of humour, but I could appreciate that it actually had one. It has a great number of sidequests and mini-games to enjoy, the characters can be personalized, and it's just a fun game when you get in to it.
Yay Final Fantasy VII!
