Overall I’ve really enjoyed it
okay but why, though? it’s ugly, the world, plot, characters, monsters, etc. are dull and derivative in all the worst ways, it tries to ape both Symphony and Aria simultaneously despite not understanding what made either work… it’s just kind of a hot mess on every conceivable level.
Because I had a good time playing it? I’m sorry?
…It’s possible to enjoy things that are not the best in their genre?
People like things ya know
it’s fun to play and the stuff in it looks cool
I would also like to remind/alert anyone not in the know that we have a great thread about how much we love ugly games
this is precisely why i like it
Going from DaS straight into DaS2 was a mistake.
It’s not a bad game by any stretch, but coming off the first one, it just doesn’t feel right.
Probably need to play something completely different as a palate cleanser first so I can enjoy it on its’ own merits.
this is a perfect description of SotN and a perfect encapsulation of what made SotN good. I’m glad to hear that bloodstained is also a hot mess
my friend and i have been doing streams for samurai shodown v and my ukyo is untouchable
my kyoshiro is alright too
That underground circuit past really grits in his compositions
I will probably never have another excuse to post this so fuck it.
Wish I could find the full MV so I could GIF the marching army of Yamaokas.
EDIT: oh nvm here it is lol
Guldaggit I accidentally deleted a post again.
Yeah I remember seeing that vid and wondering if the whole album reflected his production textures done up rock with heavy synths and lyrics. But never got around to finding it. 2006?? yeesh. Going back! checking out.
So the first (of, I guess, two total) DLC levels for Hitman 2 dropped yesterday, set in a bank in NYC.
It’s, uh, not bad! It’s maybe a bit disappointing aesthetically (it’s just a big marble building!), but they certainly give you enough fun opportunities to have a good time with it.
Took me about an hour to get the deed done and slip out of the bank with the giant, flashing computer core, but I managed to get Silent Assassin on the first go, so I’ll take it.
Oh, and they splurged just a touch and did proper CG cutscenes for this one. Not as nice looking as the ones in Hitman 2016 (they’re a bit, uh, in-game-y), but less jarring than Hitman 2’s motion comics approach.
Akira Yamaoka has some other good tracks / videos in IIDX too.
- The list of characters that appear on the video are: Nickel DJ, FIRE RUNNER, SHOUT CABRERA, KELLY BROWN, fOPPISH KEN, JUGGLER GEORGE, LAZINESS, BABY.G, LADY Mary, ROBOT-X-, ALIEN WARRIER, REBORN IRAIZA, NEIL AIRHEAD, SAM ELEMENT, PRINCESS MERMAID, PINK PIG, THUMBELINA, SKULL, DAEMON, FAIRY TALE, HEART WITH WING, LONG TONGUE GIRL, HEDGEHOG, LATOUR LEO, SKIRT GIRL, PANTHERA LEO, MOHICAN, ELEPHANT, BALLERINA, SARCASM MORRISON, and ILLUMINATI Grey.
Every time I bowl well Majima does better. Is it his depth perception? The haircut? The jacket?
Ah finally guttered you maniac, victorious.
great, my power went out while I was playing yakuza 2 and now the majima story and replay section are missing from the main menu
