Back when it was first releasing, there was this guy I talked to because we were both in the same club at university. So there was a girl in the same club that this guy liked and he was trying to convince her to go out with him (she wasn't sure if she should mainly because she liked him but didn't want to distract herself from uni stuff iirc) and she eventually decided to just go ahead and go out with him. They hit it off, they liked each other, though this guy was definitely pretty strange, like he'd say stuff like "You know, if I was forced to shoot someone, I don't think I'd feel anything" just brought up out of nowhere and that kinda stuff was just... :yikes:

ANYWAY, so skyrim comes out and this guy is super excited for it. He goes, he gets it, and he plays it, and he is so utterly ecstatic about it that he gets his gf to play it and she likes it as well. He tells everybody he knows about how much he loves skyrim and how great it is.

Then he started talking about how he had skyrim sex.

His gf eventually broke up with him, I forget the specifics but I know one of the reasons was because when they'd have sex of any kind, he would need to be playing skyrim. Like, he needed the skyrim to be there, he needed to be playing it in addition to the sex because he didn't want to potentially miss out on time that could be spent playing skyrim. He was just absolutely obsessed with skyrim sex. Then he left after that semester and so did his ex-gf and idk what's going on with him now but I guess at least he isn't wanting for skyrim availability. Dude just has to find another girl that'll want to let him gently caress her while he games.
FAK, no joke I think this guy might literally be the person referred to in this episode of MBMBAM

welp. i didn't want to refund yakuza 0, i wanted to play it. but i got sick of hearing absolutely nothing from the devs or their community outreach employees so they can go gently caress themselves.

now i have an extra $20 and a lot of ennui, because the only thing i wanted to do was loving play yakuza 0.

It's a principle thing. I feel burned so I don't want to give them my business until they sort the poo poo in their house that made me refund it in the first place. Keep in mind that I'm actually not too mad that it's taking so long to get a patch, but more that their community managers acknowledged one issue officially a few hours after launch, and then refused to post ANY updates after that.

Like if any of Sega's many community managers had said "Ok here's a list of things we know of that we're gonna try to fix. This takes time and it probably won't come out until next Wednesday at the earliest"--and honestly it wouldn't even have to have my specific problem listed on it--then I'd probably be fine with this whole thing.

My problem is that I, among other people, am having a problem that makes the game completely unplayable, and their reps' official stance on it so far has been, "I'm glad you're liking this game!"

boss fights can get rough early on but the game lets you stock a ton of max heal items and you unlock fighting styles that let you smash through weaker enemies pretty easily, plus the pc port gives you a bunch of free item dlcs that give you a shotgun and a pistol that both do a ton of damage, and also a lightsaber

this is on hard so normal and easy are probably not super hard either

I’m playing on Normal but it’s still kind of tough for me right now. During the chapter one climax, I died three times to a miniboss and twice to the big boss.



Also, I’m on your side White Dragon. But I would recommend not giving up on the game entirely. Maybe wait for it to go on sale in a few months?

go to the temple and talk to the clown, it's marked as a shop on your map

it's not even that necessary for the free healing items cause they're just items you can buy for like 7000 yen at the drug store
