For deltarune I feel like chapter 2 set the gold standard for "fun" chapters. both chapter 5 and 2 take place between major plot beats so when chapter 5 was announced to be a fun chapter, i feel like something more like chapter 2 is what I expected instead of something like chapter 3.

i think its just kinda frustrating thinking of what chapter 5 could have been if it wasnt so scared of holding stuff back yet writing itself into a corner where it HAD to (and also was just generally funnier i did not care for 90% of the humor this chapter it was particularly dry)

Also i hear a lot that chapter 5 is about escapism through nostalgia so all its undertale references and chapter 1 references are justified but like..Idk I wish it did that in a way that gratified the world and characters more than fans. Almost like a certain chapter 3 did!

maybe the whole chapter just had weird priorities, it didnt want to reveal anything dramatic about the story yet it still insisted on having emotional moments and taking up oppertunities to expand on characters like asgore but in ways that do nothing cus its burdened on not wanting to say anything

bringing it back to chapter 2 i feel like that served being a more relieved chapter in between big plot moments way better because it was more. idk confident?? in its place in the story and actually dove completely into the questions that it DID ask itself instead of surgically dancing around them

I feel like chapter 5 tries for that more, all the elements for a good fun deltarune chapter are there but i just feel like they dont come together as well as they did in chapter 2. Id like to someday compile all my criticisms for chapter 5 but idrk how to summarize

Replaying half life 2 and the highway segment MIGHT be my favorite part of the game cus theres just so many instances of phenominal mapmaking like it probably has the most memorable scenery in the game and the fact u keep travelling past all of this from one place to the next

new character busts the bloody low HP variants of the portraits are definitely a bit over the top but I DONT CARE!! i kind of like the urgency and the over dramatic sense of "you have GOT to heal your character"

eternal punishments intro also deserves a mention after i finished p2:IS i watched this thing on repeat so many times imagining how cool and edgy EP was gonna be based off this intro alone and i got so god damn hyped and god was so it right i fucking love eternal punishment

intro of persona 2 btw. its like the most aggressively 90s thing ive ever seen in my life but god i actually am obsessed with it and this game its actually kind of the best thing ever. people rag on this for the dated 3D CGI but how can you hate it. its so ENDEARING! they thought it was fuckingcool
