i have kiwami on the shelf but figure i’ll probably get burned out if i play that immediately before 6 comes out
not a problem i ever thought i’d have, three yakuza games getting a localised release in a year would have been high fantasy not so long ago
yeah, kiwami is skippable if you plan to pick up 6 on its release.
yeah, it’s fucking great that we are getting all of them localized now. too bad about kenzan and ishin, although once i manage to level up my japanese from intermediate level to advanced, i can enjoy them in nippon speak.
also after a long spell, i finally managed to progress in bloodborne again. jumping down the lake in byrgenwerth was amazing. love those instances where you can take a leap into the unknown in games.
I liked Kiwami 1 and it is still probably a better idea to play it than the PS2 version but it really feels like a Yakuza 1-themed expansion pack to 0.
Y6 starts right after Y5’s ending but I think enough gets conveyed to you (it even replays a good chunk of the ending) that you don’t really need to go back and play 5. Echoing everyone else in saying 5 was drawn out way too much. There are recaps of 1-5 but they are text-only.
I mean it has him bleeding out in the snow and fade to black on his motionless body.
Yeah, it still kinda bums me out taht they made Majima so much more friendly in Kiwami than he was in the original version. It’s not bad, but it was much more interesting when he was a completely unpredictable force.
I beat Life is Strange just now; at a period in my life where there is an impending storm of personal strife, so I figured a peaceful game dealing with that same inevitability might do me some good. The best parts were the ones where you go through everyone’s drawers and examine every spare inch of their dorm room. I miss doing that, i used to always do that. The older you get, the less opportunities you have to rummage through people’s things and smell the weird smells of the places where they sleep.
uh
wait what
I missed out on playing Life is Strange in smell-o-vision, damn
playing like thirty hours of siege in three weeks has obviously put me in a mood because tonight I started a new game in both qud and morrowind
Claire and I played a game called Tricky Towers, which is a physics-based puzzle game in which you stack tetrominoes to make a big, stupid tower for idiots
Kiryu dies in, like, every game. It’d be weird if he didn’t, tbqh.
Sea of Theives, weirdly enough, has absolutely zero content. They made a really good base engine with good boat mechanics, good water and weather effects, and lots of flavor, then released it immediately. So like, there’s no story or progression of any kind, or mission variety, you just sail to an island, kill a dozen skeltons, dig up a chest, and move on to sell it at port. That’s as far as the game goes. You essentially have done everything you can do, and fought everything you can fight, within the first hour.
It’s just wild. There’s even weird clipping bugs you get the sense they intended to fix at some point, but never did.
You can play it for free using a free trial of that XBox app thing that’s built into your Win 10, so I’d say it’s worth a night of play with friends, then an uninstall. God, Rare sucks now.
Wait, this came out? I thought it wasn’t due for several more months, not that I was paying close attention.
Why the fuck aren’t there like, East India Trading Company ships I can raid and scuttle, and British navy sea cops I have to avoid? Something to make me actually feel like a pirate?
Let’s even have other pirate factions as AI vessels, trying to raid ME, you know? Like some haunted ghost ship that comes out of the storm and tries to take down my ship?
Like is it so much to ask that they make a SECOND, non-skeleton enemy I can fight? Like some sirens that climb up the side of the ship? Or weird giant sea creatures I can use the cannon on?
It is surreal how empty this game is.
@gary: Bad news re: pirate game
I beat some shitty transformers game on my DS and even tho I have 20 gb of space on my r4’s sd card I deleted it. I’ve even been throwing on games I actually own just to fill space. I should play a jrpg but anxiety is making it hard for me to concentrate on anything but shitty fanfic
i thought there was a sea creature
man i wanted to play this too damn
Ah well
Maybe they just decided to push a beta laughably early and will release the actual game content as uh free DLC?
Sea of Thieves is basically the dream game I thought up in high school, except it was called “Cap’n Scurvy and the Arr Mateys” and was way cooler than this game
just play galleon tbh
or that simple 2000 pirate game (which i think might actually also be entirely about fighting skellingtons lol)
or deep water
