I have seen exactly one (1) pocket car in Yakuza 6, and it has set my soul aflame

I think Le Sunset Salto is compelling despite being kind of a pain to play.

this is one of my favourites

it’s like someone tried to make “world” music using odd pitch shifted vocal samples and jrpg musical cliches like pipey synths and ominous arpeggios. production also sounds rather strange and “warped” to me, in a good way.

in a way it also reminds me of susumu yokota’s albums from around that era, particularly “symbol” that has a lot of decontextualized opera/classical music samples:

If you’re about decontextualized classical samples, you know about the Drakengard soundtrack right?

thank you evergrace defense squadron I love you

front mission 3 just got me good.

i’m at ‘endgame’ now, i captured a Rare Mech[tm] with a beam cannon on it, and after a bit i decided… yeah, okay, i’m gonna use this, why not, I’m steamrolling everything anyway. so I put it on my benchwarmer rifle dude.

i had him attack the enemy leader on first turn, and it went like this:

enemy leader goes first
“Arm Break” procs
the arm with the beam cannon it breaks
the force of the blow ejects the pilot out
during enemy turn he gets focus fired by missile dudes and dies

like, okay game, i’ll go back to shotguns, i can take a hint

the evergrace soundtrack most reminds me of late 14th c. italian music, particularly the saltarello.

i’m so glad someone here is playing Evergrace, now i don’t have to

Father.Torque · May 3, 2018, 9:59pm

Someone here had a really rad LP of Evergrace that was abandoned very early and I was very sad about that

disestablished · May 4, 2018, 12:25am

Isn’t that the special mech you order from the internet or something, after hacking the plans for it or something. (it’s been like 17 years ok)

Anyway, that beam weapon is pretty rad.

If you get at least 35 platinum medals before the relevant mission (on emma’s route), one shows up on an enemy and you can capture it.

I don’t remember how you get it from the Network portion but I know there’s a way.

So I believe I am right before the point of no return in Mass Effect 3 and one of the things I was told was to check the numbers before doing that and… they’re bad, like really not even close. I got one piece of DLC left to finish so I’m gonna go do that but I was under the impression that the numbers one gets from the DLC plus what was in the game was enough to cross that arbitrary original number. I ponder if some of the choices I’ve made were the opposite of wise as I’ve done basically every single optional thing possible.

I can grasp why everyone was pissy about this when the game released now.

Also I’m not downloading the extended ending to “fix” those numbers.

*Clicks stupid things on online ME3 website game to try and game the numbers

Felix · May 4, 2018, 2:44am

you have to play multi iirc

not much, just a little, otherwise it’s nearly impossible to get them up there

you’re very much better off without the extended ending though

Father.Torque · May 4, 2018, 2:50am

It’s been a real, real long time but I remember just being a normal completionist and having more than enough points. Like I didn’t think about it at all, I just played the game. I don’t thiiiiiiink I played any multi until I finished the single? But I can’t really remember.

Felix · May 4, 2018, 3:12am

I want to say that if you do literally 100% of the stuff in the single player perfectly (i.e. getting the best possible resolution to both the krogan and the geth arcs) you will barely cross the required 50% point threshold but you have like… a .5x multiplier on your potential point total for not having played the multi, and it goes up 10% for every game you play, and only degrades at a rate of like 1% a week. so if you play like three multi matches it’ll put you over on a “normal” run through the game but it’s extremely difficult to clear it without.

also iirc the only difference from clearing it is that you have the option of a third choice at the very very end which is slightly less bad than the other two but it’s far from the most interesting part of the story anyhow
