Kudos for including the Japanese text
I hope future releases come with this option as well

Fun and high-octane horde shooter-slasher that's letdown by the current day plague of making everything as an online game/game-as-a-service product along with RNG drop mechanics in an attempt to manage user retention.

Amazing soundtrack tho.

Fun game, but RS's and GU's cooldown/bar crap still sucks Rathalos' (fire) balls.

A decent turn-based RPG for those people who like the Monster Hunter world for the unique monsters. Wrapped in a simple yet heart-warming story about the bond between Riders and monsters, the game will also satisfy RPG fans looking to grind their days away since it allows you to mix-and-match out of more than 100 skills to create your very own Monstie (monster partner) -- unfortunately, "color editing" feature is no longer included[thenerdstash.com].
However, if you enjoy the Monster Hunter series for its heart-thumping action and fashioning monsters into one-of-a-kind mixed armor sets, best to stay away from this one.

Badly written scam with adequate production value. Just look at Liz-Arts' website now.

Monster Hunter: World sukses menjual apa yang dijanjikan oleh judulnya. Bukan buat semua orang, tapi kalau kamu suka ide sederhana "berburu monster raksasa", jangan lewatkan gim Action yang satu ini.

4/4 - Wajib Beli

Monster Hunter: World successfully sells the idea conveyed by its title alone. The slower and methodical combat system compared to its Capcom brethren such as Devil May Cry might not please everyone, but if you like the simple concept of "hunting giant monsters" with "giant sticks", do not miss this particular Action title.

4/4 - Must Buy

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE start its humble origin as a part of cheap games collection Simple 2000 on PS2 -- and EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 definitely haven't forgotten its roots. Sandlot manages to strengthen EARTH DEFENSE FORCE's simple core while streamlining other clunkier elements, so it's (much) easier to pickup by new players while giving new toys to play for veterans.

Basically what EARTH DEFENSE FORCE is selling are hundreds of enemies on screen and destructible buildings while sacrificing graphics, framerate, and even smooth control. But not anymore. Gone the awkward character controls and every classes got major buffs, not just weapons balancing but also mobility and quality-of-life aspect.

The biggest upgrade examples are: Ranger have a dedicated run button (don't have to rely on dodge-rolling for mobility), carpet bombing area-of-effect designator for Air Raider, and equipment slots for Fencer and Wing Diver.
Meanwhile major quality-of-life improvements are: 'aura' for easier loot pickups and this time around all loot are distributed (not equally) to all classes in the end of a level instead of just for the class you use. Definitely makes grinding weapons and armor/health much less of a chore!

Even with all those upgrades there's no lack of challenge. New enemies such as Colonist and Cosmonaut, giant humanoid armed with plasma machine gun, shotgun, cannon, and flamethrower, will definitely push your skills and force you to rethink how to handle a level, choosing which weapons are good for crowd control or one-on-one with the limited inventory slots. There's also new kaiju spectacle called Archelus that rolls and shoots bombs all over the map to devastating effects.

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 as a reboot did not change the 'classic' formula too much in an ill-conceived attempt to grab more audiences. Sandlot just fixes what does not really work and making the game more fun to play for both their biggest and/or potential fans. If you want to get into this series -- or baiting your friends into it -- EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 is definitely the one to go.

Per Q3 2019 the game just keep crashing in startup screen every time NVIDIA releases a new driver.
[Update: apparently driver 442.50 finally fixed this issue]

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a 2007 Shooter that tried to present itself as a gritty crime drama like HEAT or any other identical movies -- at least for the first half.

The game opens with scenes not unlike a typical crime drama: a dangerous death row convict Adam 'Kane' Marcus is saved by a bunch of gunmen hired by a crime syndicate only known as The7. Accused of stealing their money, Kane is forced to once again get into a life of crime to both save the stolen money and his own family -- while being watched over by The7's lapdog, Lynch.

While it does sound like a decent plot for an exciting crime story, the execution is anything but decent. Instead of riding along an intriguing double crosses and heated actions, the whole game ends up feeling like some sort of dark comedy that's being driven by 'comedy of errors'. Every single characters are just plain incompetent.
Not too mention, out of nowhere, the second half of the game turned into a colossal war-themed shooter. Either IO Interactive team didn't know how to wrap up the story or there was a demand to include huge, epic battle scenes in Shooter games of 2007. Too bad the subpar gameplay does not accommodate such scenario.

Still, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men had a few pluses:
+ Asymmetric coop similar to Dead Space 3, where Lynch would hallucinates and see every single NPCs as armed policemen;
+ Local coop (also a minus since there's also no online coop);
+ Trading weapons with and giving basic orders to each AI teammates;
+ Competent soundtrack by composer Jesper Kyd, well-known for his work on Assassin's Creed, Hitman, and Borderlands series.

Released with wasted potentials, mediocre gameplay, and still needing GFWL in 2019, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is obviously not a game to waste your money and time for. Might as well let those Dead Men dead.

this some nasty ass mobage i hate you so much but the va game ridiculous
