Empress Brosephine posted:Is there a game with a good 5.1 mix I haven't found one yet. Every Battlefield game IMHO. I'm a couple hours into Horizon and it's pretty rough in places. You just clip through snow, most dialogue scenes have boring Mass Effect - like animation and direction, fighting human enemies just feels bad and clunky, sound mixing is terrible and it's sometimes hard to hear what people are saying. Some voiced and named characters look exactly the same after a ~20 year timeskip. Scripted voicelines are put so closely together you will often skip entire lines while playing normally. You have at least six unique weapons but can only equip four at a time. When you fight a mix of small and large enemies with varied weaknesses swapping weapons can get really annoying. Lots of invisible walls everywhere and I even got a 'leaving play area' warning message, during free roam, while running around in the mountains  This, and the middling gameplay combined with some pretty bad writing, have kinda soured me on the game. I'll give it a few tries but I'm pretty disappointed. It's pretty, the robots are neat, and I enjoy messing around with the camera function. But other than that I have little positive to say so far.

Also for those of you playing yakuza how exactly do I recruit more girls and partner up? Is there eventually icons in the mini map?

Empress Brosephine posted:Also for those of you playing yakuza how exactly do I recruit more girls and partner up? Is there eventually icons in the mini map? You partner up by rubbing your face along storefronts until one gives you a prompt to examine it. It then tells you the price and you can decide to partner or not. At no point does it appear in the map which is a pain when you only need one more business in the area for 100%. There are maps online of course. I think if you are still battling the first club you can only partner in their area. Same in the real estate mogul activity with kiryu. If you've been playing sidestories then girls you've helped will be hanging around outside club sunshine to be recruited, or you can unlock some at the shrine. There are a few girls you can approach in the street, again you need to run up to them to see the prompt, they arent on the map iirc.

Empress Brosephine posted:That sounds like the worst. Thank you though. Dude, I'm at like sixty hours and I'm only just now finishing Chapter 11. I must've put the controller down at work or something because I know the game isn't even that long if you mainline the story, and while I've certainly spent a lot of time on side quests (and garnered a handful of girls for the club or people to work at a thing that you might not have unlocked yet, but I was literally just about to pop in here to talk about how good/fun the story is. Nearly all of the Yakuza games straddle this weird line between being completely ridiculous when you're outside of cutscenes and being completely sandpaper-level gritty when you're in them, but what really gets me about the series is that both sides are handled with aplomb. You can just scoot around for hours (see: above) just doing the most inane poo poo for people or yourself, but then when you decide it's time to head back into the story, it's pulpy and twisty and nearly always well-done. It's such a special series, and I'm infinitely thankful that the people in our 3rd Party Partners dept. some how got them to sign on for both 0 and 6 is something I remind them of every day I come back from a night of playing 0. It's such an impossible thing to request, given how well the games sell here in the States, but they pulled it off, and it keeps the gravy train of absolutely amazing Japanese games in 2017 coming. Seriously, can you imagine, at the height of the PS2-to-PS3 transition era a decade ago, that some soothsayer would be right when they said, "oh, hey, by the way, you know all those amazing, experimentally Japanese games that you loved since Nintendo basically saved the industry? Yeah, those are all going to go away while something as trivial as higher resolutions and just a handful of western-developed action games are going to completely dominate the industry while those Japanese games will struggle to even compete," you'd lock that person up. This new boom is a godsend, especially when you factor in that loving cell phones are the biggest platform and money maker for a lot of these publishers. We're getting honest-to-god real Japanese games that haven't lost their quirkiness, willingness to experiment, or attention to detail in some things that I don't think any western developer would bother to consider. Literally NO other dev would put as much time and effort into the menus and transitions of Persona 5 than Atlus. Nobody would dream of releasing two Japanese mafia dramas where you also do fetch quests for the weirdest members of Japanese society (okay, that one's kind of a given). I'm just so HAPPY that things have been mixed up again.

I liked Nier: Automata a lot, but basically all the hype people say about it is 10x more true about Yakuza 0.

Yeah I like yakuza a lot and thank Sony for bringing it over. Wish the psp games got translated. I'm surprised these games never get slated by the press for their blatant sexism and racism. Not that I want them too but at times it's kind of "uhhh" especially with the lady wrestling.

Not really. HD graphics are expensive to make and those games were all pretty low-budget to start with. They simply didn't have an in until the Sony started courting the indies and third-party studios away from Microsoft. Nevermind the general lower specs on the Vita, PSP, 3/DS, and (almost certainly) the Switch that lets them do more for less without immediately looking crap in comparison to other titles on the same machine.

Rinkles posted:The checkpoint system in MGSV is annoying in free roam. I'm always a bit paranoid after picking up random supplies as to whether it saved (if I want to turn off the game). Having to run around with D-horse looking for a checkpoint trigger is bad. I think fiddling with some options also gives you a save but I'm not positive, and that's equally clunky. If that box popped up that showed all the resources you just got being added to your totals (as well total people/animals extracted) then it saved. Most of the checkpoints are just at the borders of a camp or outpost or whatever, so just ride out awhile and you're good. Also, outside of missions once you know it saved just go to menu and 'Return to ACC" to fast travel back to the helicopter without paying to deploy it. Unless deploying it will be some bomb-rear end moment where you're blasting sick 80's hits and getting shot at as you race to the LZ, then do that.

Yeah but then you need to pay full price for redeployment (I believe), instead of just a resupply. Also the process is slow (menus, the loading, the flight). I'll often go on foot/horse even if it ends up taking longer because of how the helicopter breaks up the flow. You can't call it in and immediately choose a new drop off point so it doesn't load into the Snake Limbo Zone, can you?

Because pretty much noone knows or cares about the Yakuza games compared to, say, GTA. There's a reason it took so long for SEGA to translate 3 and 4. Japanese games in general tend to get a pass for stuff like that. Possibly because of my first point. Only recent one that I remember getting some flack was MGSV, and that game was pretty high-profile.

Which isn't meant to defend it, just that it's not without context and you can kinda see the train of logic as to why the fanservice-y stuff is there (aside from titillation, etc, etc). Unlike Quiet where it's stupid and absurdly blatant all the way down.

Is Uncharted 4 different or better enough than 1-3 to justify a buy? It's probably unfortunate that I played The Last of Us before playing the Remastered collection, since TLOU is so much better. These are okay. They feel like God of War but less enjoyable, the combat is sometimes fun but can feel weightless, the reliance on explosive set pieces loses steam, I keep getting stuck because I don't notice climbing visual cues, and the characters and dialogue are fun but the story is lame. 3 so far seems to improve on the gameplay quite a bit, while 2 is a lot better than 1 in that respect. But if 4 is simply more of this, I think I'll pass. Did the TLOU directors working on U4 take it in a refreshing direction?
