That sounds insanely hard. Can you at least get skills?

Also Yakuza PC is hilarious in 640 pixels. Kotaku has a big article on how bad it looks

Yeah, skills are allowed. It isnt as hard as it sounds because your weapon level contributes a lot more than your stats at least on normal difficulty Obviously you'll die in few hits but in coop you have limited revives so that helps a bit.

Same, exclusives are bullshit.

I disagree, I spent money on my console therefore I demand that games be made only for this system so that I can express my giant erection authority over those who don't have this console.

Also day 1 patches regularly take several hours for me. We're not talking about ye' olde 360 games, but the 10GB minimum downloads you have to routinely do just so the disc version gets updated from games journalist to retail edition.

I love exclusives but in the Sony and Nintendo way of putting out games with connected idiosyncrasies. There’s a better way to word that but I’m running on empty here. The two companies have done a great job deciding on their exclusive focus and brand.

I’ve seen a lot of this Yakuza 0 early chapter stuff before but man I started laughing really hard when the karaoke scene shifted into a full live performance/music video. Game ruuuuules.

I got it when i read the specific order in which you needed to blow up the trucks, and i remember it seeming like a bizarre solution no one would have come up with without googling it

I remember the consensus was not just that, but unless the trucks took a certain path (it was different each time), it was impossible to complete no matter what order you tried

Been playing a bit of Rain World and I want to like this game so much, but I really don't know what they were thinking making something this hostile and obtuse. Supposedly there a wall you can push past that can really make you appreciate it more, but I don't think I'm willing to find it. Very unique and beautiful game though. Glad I only paid $5 for it.

I thought the old MS patch policy was good in theory (one patch free, then you pay to release more) because theoretically it should encourage businesses to not release broken poo poo

Of course in reality it just meant that broken poo poo sometimes got marginally less broken and then ignored forever, because lol :capitalism:

So, I have a little issue with account stuff (and all my searches made no result):

I want to be able to play PES2018 with my nephew and be able to use the option file I installed with the User1 account I made for him but it seems that an offline account (not using a PSN login) can't see user generated content. So the thing goes like this, I turn up my PS4, log in with my main account, nephew powers up 2nd controller and uses said User1 (like I always did with my xbox360), launch PES2018 and go to the single match mode and the "you can't see user generated media if you aren't logged into PSN" and then all I see is the normal kits and default non real team names. Do I need to create a fully fledged PSN account for this?

if you want to do anything that requires you to be online for any reason (like downloading user-created content), they both have to be PSN accounts (and one probably has to be PS+, but that's you, I assume)

Yes, I have PS+ and my account is set as primary, with all the bells and whistles. Problem is that the only game that doesn't let me use all features with that lovely offline User1 account is PES2018 because it can use user created content, while games with Overcooked, King of Fighters XIV or whatever else let me co-op with no restrictions. I don't have the "sub account" thing but family member, maybe should I try that and set an email so it's an online account?

yeah. I mean, you don't have to do the family account thing, though you certainly can if you want to. for my son, I just have it set up with his age so he can't open any games at a rating higher than I want him to. I think you can also restrict what kinds of things they can do online, but I haven't worried about it enough to check since he just plays local stuff.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. There's a workaround on PES games where, with just the main user logged, can go to a friendly match, select teams (with my custom data working), go to the strategy/kit select, then log in with User1, go back to team select and It'll work. After finishing the match you can only select either play again with same teams or select different teams, anything that involves going to the main screen will show the "not allowed to see user created content".

Kind of silly but I guess the parental control stuff really got stuffed into this generation.

I started downloading Yakuza 0 a few minutes ago just in case I submit to the urge and want to add another huge long game to the mix lol

I slammed through Until Dawn with a few homies the other day. Unfortunately we were unable to save crazy Josh's head from being smashed like a watermelon.

We also played a bunch of Towerfall, which has held up better than almost every other couch multiplayer game of the last half decade.





That's pretty much it for games, which aren't really a summer habit for me. Planning on Starting Yakuza 0 so I can finish it by fall. Updates to come.

it didnt exist as some kind of attempt to encourage anyone to not release broken poo poo, it existed for microsoft to get a shitload of free money for a practice they know is unavoidable and will be blamed on the publishers/devs while microsoft gets to pretend to have some kind of moral high ground. it was a no lose policy for them that just resulted in more broken games.
