Oh no oh god it's all true!

The hostess clubs and such are entirely period accurate, the softcore porn videos are both new to Yakuza 0 and blatant marketing for actual current porn girls. I mean they aren't rendered, they are literally FMV cheesecake videos. I feel like that crosses an imaginary line in my brain for some reason. It's just so much more blatantly "here, ogle these girls dude" whereas the hostess minigame stuff is more like playing Barbie than getting off on it.

ANYWAY, there's a bunch of stuff on sale on PS4, what should I get:

Metro: Last light
Metro: 2033 (which is the better of these two they are both $6)
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst ($10)
Outlast/Whistleblow ($7)
Megadimension Neptunia 7 ($12)

2033 and Last Light are the good games in that list. I liked 2033 more so get that one

I was leaning toward getting both Outlast and Megadimension :v:

cheesecake doesn't offend me, i'm not "offended" at yakuza 0, i just think it's both silly and also kind of lame to put in basically ads for real actual current porn in your game about manly men beating each other up and loving each other in the 80s

If you're willing to accept the premise the Nep games are fun if not really particularly revolutionary, and 7 (actually V-II) is generally regarded as the best one.

I agree with that.

I never saw the videos you're talking about cause it didn't interest me. I also avoided the cat fights, but it's partially required, so I'll have to do it a little bit later.

The telephone club though, that's hilarious as poo poo.

I dislike all these fragmented subscription models that end up being nearly as expensive as a cable plan just to watch like three shows. It's why I haven't watched American Gods either, I'll just wait until they are on Blu-Ray and I can rent the discs

If you're on Amazon (you might need Prime?) you can get a free one week Showtime sub which should be plenty of time to run through the whole season of American Gods; it's only like 8 eps

That's what you'd think but nope. They haven't released a lot of details but they've confirmed it's nothing like a retro emulation machine (which Atari has been doing for a while anyways before the NES classic was ever a thing) but closer in specs to a modern console. Idk what the gently caress they're thinking lol

Yeah that was my first thought as well. Maybe they're planning on integrating it into the phone camera somehow? That would explain the emphasis on eye scanning stuff.

River Raid, H.E.R.O., and the Pitfalls still hold up pretty well actually. Probably many more I'm forgetting about.

yeah it's weird/cool that in some ways the game is super open minded. not sure what i think of the sidequest where you convince a high school girl to stop bullying her friends into selling their panties. i mean, yay? but also, really SEGA?

The real payoff for that quest is when you can hire her to manage your real estate holdings and she says "I'll put what I learned from my burusera business to good use!"

I think the first game hits a pretty good niche on the line between being edgy for the sake of it and being edgy in an effective and scary way. Outlast 2 doesn't just go over that line, it fires itself out of a trebuchet over the castle walls of good taste and lands right on its loving face in a pile of ye olde pig poo poo.
