Okay, let's talk about something potentially controversial.
The God Eater 2 Vita English patch.
Hear me out!
My Unpopular Opinion?
It's... fine.
Yeah, I said it. Fine! Not life-changing, not gaming's second coming, just... fine.
Prepare for the internet rage, I guess.
The Nostalgia Factor
Look, I get it. We all have those games. The ones we desperately wanted to play.
The ones that were just out of reach.
Then a glorious English patch arrives! Hallelujah!
But sometimes, reality doesn't quite match the hype, does it?
That's how I felt about *God Eater 2*.
The Patch Itself
Don't get me wrong, the patch community did an amazing job!
Seriously, the dedication to translating games is incredible!
These folks are doing God's work (pun intended?).
However, sometimes the translation could feel a bit...stiff.
Like reading a really thorough, but slightly awkward, textbook.
Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but you get the idea.
Gameplay Over Translation?
Here's where my opinion gets even more heretical.
I honestly enjoyed the gameplay even *before* the patch.
Yeah, I was that weirdo mashing buttons and hoping for the best.
Monster Hunter skills, baby!
The story was...there.
Big monsters, bigger weapons, and the chance to look cool while doing it. What's not to love?
The Vita Love
Let's be real, the PS Vita is a treasure.
It's like the underdog console that everyone secretly loves.
So, any game that gets some love on the Vita is a win in my book.
But, just because it's on the Vita doesn't automatically make it a masterpiece.
Even with the English Patch!
The Verdict
So, God Eater 2 with the English patch? A solid experience.
Worth playing if you're a fan of the series or the genre.
But maybe, just maybe, temper those expectations a little.
It's good, not groundbreaking.
The true heroes are the fan translators!
They made it possible to understand the story for those who really cared!
And for that, we are eternally grateful!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hide from the internet hordes.
Wish me luck.
