Stories on Tuesday - XBlaze Lost: Memories - From Start to Finish


The playthrough of the Stories on Tuesday PS3 game XBlaze Lost: Memories, from Arc System Works and Aksys Games, is now finished.

The only editing i had to do to get this video under the 12 hour limit was to increase the speed of the majority of the loading to double it's normal speed. so this video does have the post credit scene.

Stories on Tuesday - XBlaze Lost: Memories - Part 11


The new game in the Stories on Tuesday series is the PS3 version of XBlaze Lost: Memories from Arc System Works and Aksys Games.

This part started with me choosing the other option from Part 10, that gave us the game over. this is a bit more of a happier part, in comparison to the previous few, but it's still frustrating watching Es make the same mistakes as before and not trusting those around her enough. But it does seem like she has forgotten why she's back so maybe we can cut her some slack.

Mobile Friday - BlazBlue Entropy Effect - A Polished Hack And Slash Run Based Side-scroller


For this week's Mobile Friday i tried BlazBlue Entropy Effect from developers 91Act on my iPhone 14 Pro.

I'm familiar with the BlazBlue fighting games as i used to have a couple on PS3. but i didn't know about this side-scroller. since i've played this iOS version, i've learned that the game had already come out on PC in 2023 and that there is an Android version.

I Wonder if the Android version was the lead platform as throughout this video you'll see there are moments where the Dynamic Island gets in the way and other times when the curved edges of the iPhone block little bits whereas on my TV i can see things have been cut off. these small things are really the only problems the game has. 

playing the game it felt polished and now i know it's a port of an existing game, it makes sense. the tutorial is mostly fantastic and sometimes only great. there was just one thing i didn't understand and that was implanting crystals. maybe the online multiplayer aspect of the game could've been more defined, but there's a chance i tried accessing that too early into the overall story.

I say that because the big story beat at the end required a power level much lower than what i was doing. maybe i was doing more and going further than what was needed so i could've been hitting limitations because i reached areas too soon.

Also at the end, there was the hint of a plot twist. for this video, i wanted to focus on the main story but a part of me is curious as to what the other character was talking about and whether something will happen to us now. the weirdest part of the story has to be the Mysterious Light Orb in the black and white section. that thing was soo huge it's odd that no one knows about it, especially the janitor standing next to it's section. It seemed to know us, tho we didn't know it, and it did reveal there's a collectable for us to look for. but i have no idea how it does or will tie into the story as right now it's still being revealed.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect does a lot right. it also looks fantastic and i enjoyed the soundtrack. there are a lot of customisation options, too. but, what might stop it being the Free to Play Game of the Year is the additional download at the start. there is no warning it's going to download, no message to the player as to how big it's going to be or that such a download should be done over wi-fi rather than using up data allowance. it's rare to find such a rude download nowadays.

The pick up and play nature of BlazBlue Entropy Effect, the way it teaches you how to play, and how the story's been told so far made it so easy to play and one i kept coming back to, which is why this video is so long. i think BlazBlue Entropy Effect is maybe one of, if not, the best game i've played so far this year on mobile and i highly recommend it. just beware, there's a data download at the start that should be done over Wi-fi.

Version 1.1.0 Played.

Stories on Tuesday - Alternate Jake Hunter: Daedalus - The Awakening of Golden Jazz - From Start to Finish

Stories on Tuesday - Alternate Jake Hunter: Daedalus - The Awakening of Golden Jazz - Part 13


Hello and welcome to Part 13, the final part, of the new series here on QTE Gamers!

The goal with Stories on Tuesday is to play games with a heavy focus on their story. this can be Visual Novel games, like today's game, or it can be something more episodic. For me, it's a style of game i've not really explored. i have several games across a few platforms that i haven't played but i bought them because i wanted to. So now the time has come for me to experience these sorts of games.

Our debut game is Alternate Jake Hunter: Daedalus - The Awakening of Golden Jazz. I have the game on PS4 via DISC but i'll be playing the PlayStation Plus version of the game that's been downloaded to my PlayStation 4.

This is the final part, the conclusion to the story we've told whilst we play this game. We managed to complete this part with only one more death. but it was the "True Evil" ending which means we never found out who killed our Grandfather, the reason why we came all the way from Japan to New York. The point of this series isn't to get the perfect ending, it's to tell the story we get from the game. so whilst i'm a little sad that we didn't solve this final mystery, i'm happy to have got a story.

In comparison to Part 11, https://youtu.be/653QoTugqm0, Part 12 felt a little less frantic but with an even higher body count! I was wondering if Part 12 might be the final part but it turned out not to be. things slowed down a little and a few days pass across this part. But the threat never goes away and now one of our closest friends is involved the stakes just keep getting higher.

A lot happened in this part. Part 10, https://youtu.be/vfva7DWmvVo, saw us getting a lot of information which we dealt with in this part. much of this part goes how i expected it to. for a few parts now i had been making some assumptions and most are revealed here. But things take a dramatic turn around the half way mark and just keeps on going. Whilst the change of pace is welcomed, it does feel like a lot happened much quicker in this part than any previous part. but it has reenergized the story and i'm maybe even more excited to continue the 5th, and final, Chapter of this game.

In this part we continue looking at our Grandfathers daily activities and try to put together his final moments on the day he died. We ended Part 9, https://youtu.be/8RUeZNVCapo, realizing one of his coats was missing so that was the main goal at the start of this video. But as we ended up at the site of his murder we ended up finding something far more shocking that had reverberations between several of the people we had met since we came to New York. We headed back to Silver Snow to follow this new lead and what we uncovered points to certain individuals and possible danger ahead.

In this part we wrap up our time in Silver Snow, tho i do wonder if we'll be back, by correctly working out who is a murderer. The game's story seems to come across like everything is finished now and things can return to normal in Silver Snow, but Deadalus themself moved out a while ago and is still at large. We return back to New York with Chapter 4 and it starts with us retracing the final steps of our Grandfather to try and work out what he was working on, seemingly in secret.
