Question, in Yakuza 0 will I always be able to do the side quests or will I need to make sure I do some in between main quests?

you can always do them. I would break up main quests with them since there's so many tho. more get added in most chapters

To be honest I haven't played an OG Tomb Raider game since PSX but I remember really liking the feel of exploration in those games and TR Reboot was fun but it had basically none, and in ROTR they added some but it wasn't interesting or cool at all and there was way too much BS collectable hunting. I'd like to see the series either go back to being a wholesale Uncharted ripoff or alternately implement world design closer to Metroid Prime or Dark Souls. ROTR was like a Best Of playlist of poo poo I dislike in video games.

Not that it didn't have it's high points. It had some fun platforming, it looked fantastic, and the core gameplay was fine. The horrid story, boring overlong encounter design, and lame overall structure just killed it.

Tomb Raider Anniversary is the best Tomb Raider game ever released and is worth playing even today.

Everybody is clowning on yet another “see how Lara becomes the TOMB RAIDER” thing, but I’m legit looking forward to it because the other two games were fun.

The reason people clown on how they keep falling back on "SEE HOW LARA BECOMES THE TOMB RAIDER!!" for each new game is because we've already seen how much better she is after "becoming who she will be". In nine other games.

phew, for a minute there i lost myself
The biggest problem with Rise (outside of the dumb story and blah environments) was that they designed it as a giant collect-a-thon. Literally everywhere you looked were crafting materials or coins or scrolls or crates or animals, etc. etc. Half your time was spent picking up things instead of being immersed in the world.

The first game had some of this too but they went nuts with it in Rise and I'm really hoping they tone it down for Shadow.

Yeah. They said it's MORE of everything. And I said. I liked the reboot give me more of everything! Then crafting and collecting junk was turned to 11. And there was some transparent wanna be metroidvania backtracking busywork to get some more bullshit and ugh.

So the watch her rise into her own, the world will never be the same (,) again...sigh

Ok ok what about this: as you play the game you alternate between a rookie Lara who’s figuring it out as she goes and a seasoned top-of-her-game Lara in a parallel set of stories that are deeply intertwined both in plot and thematic content.

This strangely sounds familiar. Can we get a scene with a mentor character and Lara finding her Iconic Backpack?

Not sure which one. Is this the last of us? Haven’t played it.

I kinda like the idea though. Like, in the past stuff you could meet some dude who’s an ally or whatever, then the next part of the game is the future stuff and he’s trying to kill you, so in the rest of the past plot you’re waiting for the moment he betrays you and maybe it turns out that you were actually the one who accidentally hosed him over.

I dunno, it just seems like it would be a great opportunity to play with people’s expectation and also to have it both ways with an “origin” and also with her being her famous badass self.

I wonder if Dynasty Warriors 9 has the same kind of frame rate problems Warriors All-Stars does, which to me is different than any other game in the series? I can't tell for sure just looking at video analyses of DW9, since no one has made the equivalent for Stars I think. I was comparing Stars to Orochi 3 just now and while Orochi 3 has the usual frame rate drags and stuff, Stars is vastly more difficult for me to enjoy, even though in some strict sense I guess it has better performance.

Also, Stars makes my Pro's fan run full blast, and what do I get for it? I can hardly track enemy movements and stuff the frame rate is so jerky.

edit: this video is the clearest thing I've seen yet

Because you didn't say what video you watched, just "a video". I'm not a loving mind-reader.

That video was made with the only patch that's done anything about performance.
