That's the thing. I wish it was way WAY worse.

You got "unlucky" in that you seem to have dodged a lot of the bugs I got hit with. Like, a lot of it was enemies having trouble with high platforms or floor-over-floor stuff where they'd magically teleport to ground level if they touched a ledge, or being unable to progress because your AI buddies got their limbs caught on something half a level back, etc. Even that very first section with the bats killed me a few times because enemies from way up high would suddenly appear next to me out of nowhere.

I can see Pat's pov on the charge-up. In Bloodborne, the charge-up is the alternative way you have at your disposal to set enemies up for critical attacks, and as he and Woolie learned in the main playthrough, it sometimes works on bosses too (breaking Amelia's limbs, crit-attacking the Cleric Beast) when bullets do not. So from his perspective, the charge-up does a lot of damage, and can then likely be followed up on with a crit attack for a lot of massive fuckoff damage. To sane people, that's not worth the risk of instant death with no guard. To Pat, it is.

That's because you're finding it now, and not as a dumb kid thirteen years ago. Finding out about the console command when you're twelve years old playing the game for the first time makes it seem like the coolest and edgiest poo poo ever!

I went to one Best Buy and three GameStop locations before I found a retail copy of Devil's Third for sale. Best Buy had none in stock for the entire district, and only three GameStop stores in the state had copies of Devil's Third available for customers who hand't placed a pre-order. GameStop also let me know that, as far as they could tell, their online store only had 420 copies of the game available for sale for the entire country. Unless demand picks up and Nintendo of America issues a reprint, Devil's Third may end up being one of the more rare games the publisher has ever released.
From a Destructoid article. Wow, that's pretty crazy. Where else was the game available?

I had no idea yakuza 5 was even being released in english, I've played them all even the psp and zombie one. So cool!

Now 0 is coming out in english too, I thought sega gave up on this series years ago.



Also that jedi mod owns, force push stormtrooper arms off everyday.

They gave up on localizing them because they don't really sell well enough to justify translating and localizing the frankly ridiculous amounts of text in those games. Sony presumably gave them a few million reasons to reconsider.

With the surprise announcement of Yakuza 0 at PSX I hope they maybe got convinced to keep at it thanks to Yakuza 5 preorders. But then again one of the localizers had already said that sales of Yakuza 5 wouldn't affect future localization decisions in a stream a month or so ago.

I recently booted up Jedi Outcast and yeah the shooting isn't amazing. I'm not sure if it's because it's not meant for modern mice or maybe it's was always not great but I had a lot of trouble playing it.

Game becomes amazing once you get the light saber though.

Well I mean and Sega were dumb and deserve all the venom they get over that series. We only got a digital option for 4 and Dead Souls last year. Before that it was hunt down a physical copy which could be hard for people in some places or buy off ebay and then Sega really gets none of the money. Then Sega have a little fit because people aren't buying the super niche title enough, pout and no more Yakuza for the west until our lord and savior Gio Corsi came along.

I don't care at all for Star Trek (i'm sure it's fine and enjoyable, and I love when they talk about the show on the podcast) but even I could tell right away that the new trailer was a hosed up Not Star Trek

I remember the deal K-Mart had where if you buy Yakuza 4 you get 3 at a super discount (or free? been a long time), but finding 3 was in the few stores they had was impossible. I had to end up e-mailing some corporate dude to get it.

Who said that? You can pick up any of them up. Most of them have like a recap of what happen in the other games.

Yeah, I sorta just stepped into Yakuza 3 and watched the whole recap and was like "Yeah, that was definitely some Yakuzaing." Then I played Yakuza 3 and fought the CIA Agent man and a dude named Daigo and thought "This game is really good."
