1: sbr 2: jojolion 3: golden wind 4: stone ocean 5: diu 6: battle tendency 7: stardust crusaders 8: phantom blood part 2 and 3 are kinda interchangable for me, part 2 still has hamon and (imo) the worst main villians in the franchise, while part 3 has one really good fight but everything before it is a slog to get through also i really dont understand why everyone seems to love part 4 so much, theres nothing really wrong with it in my mind but i just think everything that came after it is better, also everyone seems to hype up kira as the best villian but i just really dont get it, i find diavolo more interesting which a lot of people seem to shit on

I think when ifirst beat O and S after def over 100 tries was th day i woke up and started 2 rlly live

About Persona being "maddeningly addictive", as you put it, I 100% agree. I got P5R in November of 2022 in a Steam sale. Be the time the yearly recap rolled around, it was my most played game of the year. I finished this 130 hour game in less than two months. I just got completely sucked into the world of Persona. When I eventually got to 4 and 3, I got sucked in all over. I once saw a Reddit post, showing a conversation between someone who recommended Persona to the other person. Upon playing it, they replied "it's like meth but if meth was anime", and I couldn't summarise these games any better.

As someone who has only read the original novel, the plot points in this comic version were like an absolute gut-punch 😭 I thought I knew what I was getting into

My ranking would be as followed 1. Steel ball run. Best jobro, most consistent fights, saddest death, very consistent side characters, amazing art, cool as hell, one of the best villains, best version of dio, and the 2nd best ending in the series. Biggest complaint with it is that most of other character deaths were trash. Sandman and HP got done dirty. Also high voltage kinda goofed the pacing of the ending. 2. Stone ocean. Not nearly as consistent as some of the other parts, but the highs are stratospheric, and to me that's okay. Ermes and Emporio were eh, but i really liked all the other people in the cast. Jolyne is my fav Jojo tied with gappy, pucci is a great villain, a ton of great stands and fights, and (if you didn't watch it while netflix was dropping it initially) pretty good pacing. Also best ending easily. Easily my favorite part of the pre reset universe, gets way too much hate. 3. Jojolion. Probably would've been number 2 if ANYONE else was the last villain. Wonder of U was an S tier fight, but goddamn his user was uninteresting. Justice for jobin, he totally should've been the final villain. Other than that tho the part is great. A couple mid fights, but the consistency is easily the best in all of Jojo imo, banger story, pacing, fights, characters, art, and continuity of the SBR story for almost all the runtime. I thought some of the characters could've used more screentime, in particular yasuho, joshu, rai, kei, caato and tooru but overall really good. Could've used more chapters though. 4. Diamond is unbreakable. It has kira, need i say more. 5. Golden wind. Definitely not as high on this part as everyone else is, the main cast is great, the stands are really fun, the pacing is good, but giorno is such a boring character, and what he said about diavolo in the vid is my thoughts exactly. Also i thought it tried too hard to introduce side villains, i didn't care for the hitman squad. And some of the fights dragged a bit (like the train one, and the one in Rome) even though the overall pacing is pretty good. Still a great part, but definitely not my favorite. 6. Battle tendency. Great Jojo, great pacing, quite funny, and good character relationships. Other than that it's kinda eh. The villains are mid, a lot of the characters don't really get the time in the sun they should, and the ending is my least favorite in Jojo, way too rushed. Also hamon exists. Overall fun but far from perfect. 7. Stardust Crusaders. I mean it's alright. Fights are a step up from part 2 but there's way too many of them, so all the good ones get buried behind all the bad/mid ones. Characters are fine, i think choosing to eliminate some of them from the plot and then have them return later was a terrible choice, and i don't know what araki was thinking. Best part for me is easily the setting, going and exploring all these foreign countries in depth was such a fun idea, and i wish Araki leaned into it more instead of just having a bunch of mediocre fights. And of course there's dio, he's goated, i need not explain why. I think it has the highest highs and the lowest lows of the first 3 parts. There are some great moments, but if you ask me part 3 is the least consistent part of them all. 8. Phantom blood. Worst jojo, hamon sucks, pacing was mid for a 9 episode series, and side characters are so damn forgettable. I will say though, the first 3 episodes and the last one are actually quite fun and unique, with a pretty shocking ending. And dio is ofc fun as always. Not terrible persay, but easily the weakest of them all. I've read the first two volumes of part 9, and it seems like it has promise. Definitely gonna keep reading.

I was so against these games! Man I hated the idea of playing them. Was finally pushed into playing P5R and after my first run took 130 hours because I was too addicted, I’ve now also played P3R and have just started P4G !! Honestly, these games are the best series on the planet !!! Even just hearing the music gives me shivers !! ❤

The manga has only 97 chapters well the first part atleast. They could have easily adapted it all in one season. But no we get a 12 episode which stretches those arcs a movie for some reason and well.... Who knows how many seasons we will get... Trash. Was so dissapointment when I found out that they won't adapt the whole manga. Like it's only 97 chapters for fuck sake. Ranking of kings anime adapted over 150 chapters. Which to be fair some stuff was cut but most wasn't. And you tell me that 97 chapters wasn't fucking possible??? It's just melking the cow. Like it doesn't need to be 25 episode it can be 28 just adapt it all in one fucking season! They cut some stuff from the manga anway in those 12 episodes! So wtf????

I found Part 4 boring. A lot of eps fill like filler like nothing important happens. And most of the time they talk about nothing important.

Alright ama make a list worst to best Stone ocean Phantom Blood Part 9 Battle Tendency Golden wind Part 8 (I dunno how to spell jojolin) Diamond Is Unbreakable Steel Ball Run Stardust Crusaders

I agree with your part 3 ranking but the way I see it is that all those fights gave araki time to breathe and figure out the stand system so that by the time part 4 came around he was already ready to write more interesting battles

my one word review on this: DAMN.

List is so close to being incredibly based. I think putting part 3 in slot 6 is almost criminal. Other then that tho I agree with most of the takes. My list would probably be, worst to best 5, 1, 6, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8.

The reason why Silent Hill 2 it became a classic is because eventually people began to see how unique, eerie, melancholic and authentic the game's atmosphere it really is, and took the time to enjoy its deeply thoughtful narrative and symbolism. To this day it’s by far one of, if not the most mature examination of grief, sexual trauma, suicide, and morality all combined. It’s an intelligent game that does not hold anyone’s hand and comes at the player with utmost confidence in itself. It’s fantastic stuff. The rest of the original 4 are great in their own right and have their own well written stories, but they don’t hold the same emotional weight to them. The Soundtracks of Silent Hill series, especially 2 are so Iconic and Divine. 🎶☯️🎶I think SH2’s maturity by comparison is something that a lot of people are drawn to. ☯️

I was very head-on in the capridemon fight (which did cost me way too many attempts), but my first "aha" moment was way earlier, advancing upwards after the taurus demon, when i entered the little open area that has a bunch of hollow soldiers and that boar that has way too much hp, because i knew i couldn't face it upfront, so i got to higher ground and killed it with incendiary bombs that i had stocked up from that merchant instead, that was when i realized you can advance through this game by being clever

SH is always foggy, and that it's foggy in the real world. It's when it turns to "The Otherworld" is when it's in it's alternate state. Only in the stupid movie was it different.

The resident evil music is a nice touch. I was literally listening to that while reading the book.

In my restless Dreams.

as one of the 32 jojolion fans,we thank you

Awesome video

Silent hill is a prison and that's what frightened me. In ever other survival horror game you know that once you reach " that" destination you'll be free. But in Silent hill there's no place you can run too. It follows you around and will only let you go once it decides too. Maybe it never will.

The og sh2 will always be my favorite horror game. I was pretty impressed with the remake as well. I hope we can get a silent hill 1 or silent hill 4 remake in the future.

Only Silent Hill 1 was an absolute atmospheric masterpiece. All the other Silent Hill games could not even come close to this truly unique eerie atmosphere and mood how SH1 felt. :)

Wow. After watching so many videos talking about SH2, I've realized that this is the first one explicitly talking about Angela's story without finding all possible way to not pronounce certain words or just show imagery that are already present in the game. Even some "cinematic versions" of the game (remake) yt videos completely skip this character's story line. What a joke.

Brain fart : * I think I understand why James can see Angela. -Angela was SAd by her father and possibly her brother, both are men that she sees at the end as abstract daddy. She's in search of her mother, which is implied that she also inflicted another form of trauma, however is never to be discovered in the town, almost like Angela is chasing a figment of an impression of her mother; the matronly figure that Angela might have been brainwashed into thinking she was by the influence of her mother herself. Maybe mom made Angela think that she deserved the abuse from her father/brother and also consoled her somehow making Angela distort the truth and thinks that the abuse is punishment for her behavior, probably bringing her some kind of comfort afterwards to calm her down and trust what's happening, maybe telling her that it won't happen again even though she knows it won't stop. - my point in saying this is that there isn't a clear limit to how far James would go to fulfill his s*xual desires, maybe the town is implying that if they had crossed paths irl, Angela would have become a victim to James through her father. What if James would become dark enough to commit that type of abuse to satiate his desires, and Angela is not just wary of him being a man that could be capable, it could be her intuition telling her that he is capable of being a predator if presented with the opportunity? I also think that there's a deeper layer between James and the fat guy (can't remember his name rn) that makes a similar connection but I'm talking too much already and it's 2:30 in the morning 🥲 I like to go to sleep to Silent Hill lore and theories and this was too good not to share what I've been pondering 🤔

You think Angela wanted to find her momma to get her forgiveness or to kill her?

Konami needs to port the games to newer consoles. Are they afraid of money?

They look like monsters to you?

That’s an interesting game thanks for sharing

Any game that has this much behind its world and environment is special. Whoever came up with the idea of trauma being reflected in Silent Hill is a genius. I really like your interpretation of what Silent Hill is meant to do for he characters. Great video.

Well done video I was also a fan of silent hill after playing the sh2 remake keep up the vids and you inspire me to make my own video essay’s

Autism Core

Persona is just... A whole complete package. This game is definitely what they call an "Experience". A game that isn't only single mindedly focusing on one task or goal but one that gives you the chance to explore in the truest sense. It's not just us, running around the map and combating enemies or watching the stories unfold. No, in Persona you, as the protagonist, is living A LIFE. You get to go to school, you do mundane activities like study, enjoy food, play minigames to built your social stats and you also socialize. You built friendship or romance. Hang out, go on dates, do stupid or fun things with other characters, all while also working towards your end goal or main mission. It's an RPG, an adventure game, a visual novel, a time management game, a stat building game, all these things easily build into tens or even hundreds hours of gameplays. You get to watch you character live a life, watching everyone else besides the protagonist struggle with each of their own problems, growing up and moving on, making them not just an "NPC" but a living character that became a part of your protagonist's story. All the cool references or use of mythologies and legends, the complex use of Carl Jung's study in theory of personality as the main theme of the entire franchise. It's just, honestly a rare gem amongs all the amazing game out there. This franchise is not for everyone but when it is for you, then it's gonna be one hell of an experience.

blud plays a fucking remake, and uses it as a metric for "vibe" lmao

A fascinating read.

Beautifully made! Loved the recap of sorts!

Absolute banger video. You're saying exactly what i'm thinking about each of the games aspects you bring up while also perfectly displaying.. the vibe of persona..

This was the best summary of this story that you can find on the internet! Thanks for covering it!

for such long time. i thought the menu had some other charecter who is girl but its our main charecter who is boy (why he looks female there)

15:17 is tht zoro ?😂😂 ▪︎♡▪︎ 16:08 I THOUGHT SO °☆°♧°♡°♤°◇° ■□

The bear was such a stressful show to watch but so good

I've watched the new movies for Dune. I really need to get into the books.

What a great video, just what I needed, thank you! Kinda makes me pissed off it has 60 views. Subscribed with the bell thingy - let it be known I was one of the first before you truly blew up!

Wait a second...this isn't the very dramatic and super exaggerative Eyepatch Wolf.

Love the RE Remake save room music

I genuinly think that persona 3 reload might be my favourite videogame menu ever made, its so stylish

He didn't write it

This might be my favorite persona related video ngl

This is honestly the most hurtful manga in the world
