I picked SO4 back up and am enjoying it. Honestly, I think it's the best in the franchise, though I haven't played 2, the one everyone praises. Frankly, I think 4 stands out as it gives me exactly what I wanted from the series. I get a crew of colorful alien characters, a space ship and multiple planets to explore. Granted, I think that the latest entry, 6, has the better gameplay, I still feel that 4 is better by execution.

I got up to this one part where we get attacked by weird zombie aliens and the game has me get saved by this pretty boy and an edge lord in a cutscene. Meanwhile my party watches in awe at their display. All the while, I'm thinking, "Bruh, my big ass robot can throw blackholes, every mage on my team can stun lock enemies, and the person with the highest attack stat is a feral 12 year old cat girl in a bikini. But no, game, keep telling me how cool these two bozos are. And then the plot steals my Vulcan and partners me up with the edge lord. Neat.
