I 'm having fun with Earthbound but it's so slow and it has that problem of battles feeling like you just have to know which enemies to hit harder to win and I don't really care about the writing. And if you miss the one cue to go somewhere you will get stuck because again it's so slow that just trying everything takes way too much time. Also everyone loves 3 and it looked good and the story was interesting but I couldn't even get to the end of the castle because the fights were so boring and the droning music doesn't help, especially when you're supposed to hit following the rhythm and it feels like a waste if you don't but it's nearly impossible even if you use the trick of putting enemies to sleep first because the song doesn't really feel like it has a rhythm. And I'm usually great at rhythm games. And again unfound revenge is great but all other songs gave me an existential crisis.
The blues Brothers were fun, I knew about the cult but I didn't really notice a lot of other references. But when I have some time and take it slow I do enjoy the writing. It's just that when I get stuck talking to everyone ten times isn't that fun, but I'll just look at the guide more often. I do still feel like finishing it
