Avengers: Endgame - My Thoughts

Yesterday I sat in the cinema for three hours, watching the new Avengers film. It was really good. I wasn't hyping it up as much as I did Infinity War last year (I had other things on my mind), so I forgot to buy tickets in advance. They all got booked up where I lived the day they became available! Luckily I managed to book one singular seat in 3D for last night, which was great because I was thinking that I was going to have to wait a week to see it, and get spoiled in the meantime.

I've been thinking about this film a lot since I watched it, so I thought I'd sit down and spill them all on this page. It'll be a bit like my otome "reviews", where they aren't really proper reviews, just a list of my opinions on the game. There's gonna be so many spoilers down below, so if you haven't already seen the film, please don't read this! You have been warned. There's so much to talk about so I'm probably going to forget a lot of it, but it doesn't matter.

Hello, everybody! I've been super busy this week so I had forgotten about this blog until now! Again, it is time for my regular update on whatever otome game I'm playing!!

Yes, I'm still playing Diabolik Lovers. But I'm almost done. I'm enjoying this game but I really want to play my next because it's on my Vita and I miss it. The screen and buttons feel so much nicer than the PSP's. Not that I dislike the PSP, it just feels old now that I have something better to compare it with.

Anyways, I finished Reiji's route today, meaning that I have two more routes to go. I suppose I'll just write some of my thoughts on it down below!

(Beware of spoilers!)

Hello.

It's been a long time since I've posted, hasn't it? Well not really, it's only been four days. Still, it seems like a while to me. But I decided to actually finish playing a route before I blog about it. I just realised that for some person who doesn't read this blog regularly (meaning anyone who isn't me) would have no idea what the hell I'm talking about right now if I don't actually mention the game I'm playing before writing about it. In 90% of my posts I just go straight into things without actually mentioning the name of the otome at all.

So, if you didn't already know, I've been playing Diabolik Lovers on my PSP using my poor Japanese skills, translated summaries and walkthroughs to actually get through it. Today I just finished Subaru's route, so I suppose I'll give my thoughts on that now because I'll be too busy later.

Beware of spoilers down below!!!

....

I haven't posted very often this week, have I? This Diabolik Lovers game is a lot harder to write about than the other otomes I've played, because it's not in my first language and because there's a lot less plot. It seems that I've been going through this game quite slowly, even though it seems like it wouldn't take that long to get through.

I think I'm going to be posting a lot less on this blog whilst I'm playing this game, because when I play I keep thinking about what I'm gonna write, and since there's not that much to report on really, I should just relax and not worry about this site.

Actually I almost wasn't able to Haunted Dark Bridal at all, because my cheap third party PSP charger literally broke in half yesterday. I'm not joking. I am so glad that my local second hand video game shop sells them, because otherwise I'd have to wait ages to get one off Amazon or something.

My old charger was one of those universal chargers, it can charge multiple consoles but not all at once. I only brought it because it was the only one they had, and the person who gave me the PSP didn't have the original power cable or nothing. Earlier yesterday it strangely stopped working, I thought it was my console's fault at first, and after troubleshooting it for a while with no results, the bit in the middle of the lead where the multiple charging cable types connected to the actual power wire just pulled apart. I have no idea why, but it was a cheap third party charger so it probably wasn't built very well.

This new charger I got is made by the same company unfortunately (it was the only type I could get!) but this time it's not a universal one, it's actually designed for the PSP and has an actual power brick instead of it being just a simple USB cable like before. Let's hope that it doesn't meet the same fate as the last one...

I was chuffed that I could complete Diabolik Lovers without having to order a charger online and waiting ages for it to come. Today I managed to complete Shu's route, but I haven't finished reading what happened in English yet. I can't be bothered yet, plus I kind of understand the main plot of it anyway to be honest.

Oh yeah, there's loads of spoilers down below.

I Can't Think of A Title For This

Hello, and welcome to another post about Diabolik Lovers! I'm super happy because my PSP didn't die on me today, but that's probably because I played it less. But I started a new route today, so that's also good!

 I did start playing Ayato's Heaven scenario but it wouldn't let me get past the first episode, I think that maybe it's because I didn't get enough affection points, because at the beginning of the game I didn't use a walkthrough and I think I got two choices wrong... :( But then I also think that the other two chapters are probably only unlocked if you get the other two endings. I don't know and I haven't find anything in English yet that explains it.

Like I said I was going to do in the last post, I chose my next route by random. I didn't do the common prologue at all, I just opened my previous save file and started my next route from the chapter selection menu. It said online that each prologue is really the same except for slightly different text depending on what character you picked, so I didn't miss out on much. I picked the route by closing my eyes and clicking the D-pad multiple times until I stopped and looked to see who I got. And who did I get, you ask? I landed on Shu's route, which is great because I actually wanted to get his anyway.

I Finished My First Route.....

I finished Ayato's route finally, except the extra Heaven scenarios, but those don't count. This entire route was just what I wanted really, and even though I didn't understand like 70% of it until I read the English summaries, I still really enjoyed it.

I would've finished it quicker if my PSP didn't die on me a few times. The battery seems way worse than when it was when I played Hakuoki. It barely lasts a day now, when the battery's only a few months old! Last year it would last more than two days. That's what you get when you purchase third party batteries... Oh well, at least if the battery goes, I think the PSP can still run on AC power, so that's alright.

Anyways, let's talk about the game, shall we? Beware of spoilers down below!

This Game is.... Interesting......

I have been continuing my journey through the very strange but also quite good game Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Bridal. A minute ago I just finished reading the first main chunk of Ayato's route. It's been quite... interesting so far, but I've been enjoying it.

BEWARE OF SPOILERS DOWN BELOW, although not much has happened yet, so you should be alright if you've never played it before.

I'm Finally Playing Diabolik Lovers!!!

Well, I finally started playing it. The otome game I've wanted to experience for so long, Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Bridal. Even though my Japanese absolutely sucks, I'm not going to let the language barrier stop me from enjoying my abusive vampire boys.

And it's amazing so far. Right now I would still be playing it if my PSP didn't die on me. So I decided to write my initial thoughts on it instead, and share a little bit of info on how I manage to get through it with my bad Japanese skills. Hopefully some of it might help someone else if they feel like playing it without knowing the language that well.

Enjoy a random dump of my thoughts down below! Beware of spoilers though!

Collar X Malice: Final Thoughts!

Well, it took way longer than I thought, but I can now say that I've completed Collar X Malice. There is an extra chapter in the common route that I unlocked that I haven't actually finished yet, but I've still completed all of the routes and stuff.

There are spoilers down below, as usual.......

Almost Finished...

I almost finished Yanagi's route today, but I didn't because his route has an extra chapter over the others, meaning that it's going to take me longer to complete. I was going to wait until I had completed it but I was scared that my brain would forget stuff if I waited an extra day between writing. So here it is, what will probably be my second last post on Collar X Malice.

Beware of spoilers!!!

Shiraishi's Route: Final Thoughts

Well, hello again. I didn't really post on here over the weekend because there wasn't really anything to write about because I hardly went on my Vita at all. I decided to wait until I had finished Shiraishi's route until uploading anything else. And today I ended up completing said route, so I'm going to release my final thoughts on it to the world. Beware of spoilers!
