That's kinda nuts, I didn't know companies would do that especially for PS2 games. I know I emulated 2 because it was insanely expensive but it would be kinda cool to pick up a copy now

I kind of wish they had brought over the HD versions of 1 and 2 instead of making a new printing of the PS2 version

They are bringing over the HD version of Yakuza 1 though, but it's the PS4 Kiwami remake with good gameplay and not that poo poo HD remaster.

Yakuza 2 is still only on PS2 in English, and since it's one of very few dual-layered games it's a pain to play without a legit disc.

Sega of Japan has said they want to give Yakuza 2 the Kiwami treatment too so if you just wait about 1-2 years you'll be able to play that too. Fingers crossed!

To weigh in super late: Ni no Kuni is fun but lasts about 40 hours longer than it should. Also it was only fun because I didn't leave healing to the AI. I mostly just let the AI break things with their faces, which they are good at.

Ni No Kuni should have been an adventure game instead of a JRPG.

U.T. Raptor posted:The biggest problem with Ni no Kuni (and Yokai Watch, for that matter) is that Level 5 has a raging boner for entirely RNG-based monster recruitment, which is poo poo and has always been poo poo. I'm not big on the "grind the evolved monster back up" system either.

Okay finished MGS2 and I'm sorry for anything negative I said about it. What a ride. The last act is just incredible. Wasn't crazy about the actual ending itself. Really I just want to dive right back in to the Patriots plot. Are there connections between 3 and 4? Or could I skip right to 4 if I want to pick up where 2 leaves off?

Yeah, you really should play 3 before 4, it introduces a couple of important characters and backstory stuff you'll be totally confused about otherwise. And also, as others mentioned, you should play it because it's a loving great game where you can throw literal snakes at people to kill them. MGS3 tip. Call everyone on the radio about everything. There's a conversation about every single item, weapon, camouflage and food. Sometimes several. I should replay MGS3. It's the best in the series by a long way, and I loving love the entire series.

My favourite part of NNK was Level 5 pissing away all the good things they'd made in DQ8 and Rogue Galaxy. Like the AI mates asking me if they should use skills, or the MP-restoring items not costing all my money per cup of coffee.

Okay. I was going to play it at some point I just wasn't sure if it continued the plot since it's a prequel. I will play them in order.
