I think the concept actually has the potential to be cool. It's very possible it will be handled poorly though due to the topic of discussion and some of the info that was given in the interview posted earlier.

I'm playing Madden to see my newly drafted bois and NMS. Both feel like time killers than actual interesting entertainment. Not sure what to look forward this month, maybe I'll dive back into Dead Cells for the 1.0 patch.

HGH posted:I don't know when exactly he shows up, but my advice is to beeline for Komaki's training and get the Tiger Drop to more or less break the game's difficulty. It takes a bit of work but it saves soooo much time against some of the more poorly designed fights (ie: guns), or if you just don't feel like fighting Majima proper. Unless I'm remembering wrong, to get it you have to grind out the arena for most of its awards and if you can do that chances are just getting through the game normally is actually way less effort. Definitely not something you'd be able to get super early.

Up to the start of chapter 5 where I’m at now it might be the funniest game I’ve ever played. On that note I’m booting it up soon hell yeah! The very start of 5 has been a little dull (still funny and tbh I was a bit sleepy when starting it) but I think that’s the point. I’m sure things will ramp up soon. The, uh, extremely horny dancing guys slay me. Every time it’s the funniest god drat thing. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Aug 7, 2018 |

SiKboy posted:Akuma is misremembering; in the final chapter when you go to see the guy to start the last story missions the game makes it clear that this is the point of no return, and to finish up anything you want to do. You can switch between Kiryu and Majima via the phones in their offices at that point.

Hahahahaha holy poo poo this game. This is an item spoiler, not really a big story spoiler FYI but I’m still spoiling it just in case. I just met the squatter and then was confronted by the three Yakuza guys outside the building. A long talk happens and then when throw down. I remembered I had a weapon equipped and recently learned you can use those by pressing down. So at the start of the fight Kiryu busts out a loving GIGANTIC DEAD MARLIN, gives the three guys a slash with the spear tip and then USES IT TO SHOOT A MARLIN ROCKET AT THEM, BEATING THEM IN ONE EXPLOSION. I can’t loving handle this game oh my god. Why is that even a thing? How do you even top that?Blast of Confetti posted:I've never played the Yakuza series but it's a big reason why I went with the PS4 over the Xbone. Which one should I cut my teeth on? Yakuza 0.

Kilometers Davis posted:I remembered I had a weapon equipped and recently learned you can use those by pressing down. As you're just playing through you might be able to answer this; Does the game ever actually tell you that? Because when I played I was a good way in before someone in this thread mentioned you can use the weapons you equip (up until then I assumed they were a passive bonus like the various bindings and shirts and whatnot) and its become one of my go-to pieces of advice for new players. But I've never been sure if I missed a tutorial message in the early game when I was still trying to get a handle on the controls and stuff that I forgot by the time I actually got a weapon or if it just expects you to know/work it out. Blast of Confetti posted:I've never played the Yakuza series but it's a big reason why I went with the PS4 over the Xbone. Which one should I cut my teeth on? There has pretty much never been a better time to get far too into the Yakuza series. As everyone else has been saying, Yakuza Zero is the best starting place. Akuma posted:Yeah this is what I meant by saying end/postgame and not just postgame! But I definitely could’ve been more explicit, yeah. My bad. My point was really that it’s not until right at the end. Ah, I took "end/postgame" to mean two terms for the same thing. It is right at the end, but still before the story finishes which was their main concern.

RareAcumen posted:I had no idea this was a thing. Note the sequence of events here: Kiryu makes huge amounts of cash in real estate Kiryu is so successful he commissions a ¥10 billion statue to celebrate his success. A few years pass with him back in the family and of course as such a successful real estate magnate and legendary asskicker he's granted permission to start his own family in 1995. Kiryu goes to jail for ten years. Clearly his vast real estate empire is seized since it was vaguely connected to his criminal activity. 2005 Kiryu gets out broke and eventually learns a corrupt politician and his ex-almost girlfriend invested ¥10 billion into the Yakuza which was then stolen back by her from the Yakuza.

Marina does have a point though. That statue is extremely early PS3 graphics. Also something totally unrelated that I was thinking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1PCtIaM_GQ It's real tough to do in the real world, comparatively but there's nothing stopping developers from making a Jackie Chan style beat em up game.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that once I got Rush style and saw that weird other option on down I just pressed it to see what it did and then I pulled a stun gun or something out.

I still had to look up how to shoot a gun in the game though. I'm pretty sure I tried pressing "down" early in the game after the multiple styles thing was explained, but as I didnt have a weapon equipped, nothing happened. So for the next third of the game or so I just assumed that pressing down would select dragon style if/when I unlocked it. I've always wondered if I missed a tutorial.

It definitely doesn’t tell you about pressing down to use a weapon. I figured it out myself while wanting to use the same item KD is freaking out about in the spoilers (my reaction was exactly the same fwiw). Thanks for all the info re: my last question! Might try and do as much story stuff as I can over the next few days.

Nope I don’t think so. I read all the tutorial stuff I can to make sure I don’t miss anything and I don’t think it explained that at all. Oh well. I did find it super useful to pop into the abilities upgrade menu and hit triangle to read through the guide though. It’s a great refresher when you feel confused about how to use the various styles well. Escobarbarian posted:It definitely doesn’t tell you about pressing down to use a weapon.

Wolfsheim posted:Oh man, word of warning to VG and the other guy, the trial is far and away the hardest part of TNC and probably the part that makes most people switch to baby difficulty. But if you get through it, the rest of the game is balanced pretty reasonably. Also, of the three powers you can pick afterwards, the stealth one is completely OP compared to the other two. They toned this part down in a patch soon after release. It's still hard, but not nearly as "gently caress this" hard as it was.

This is pretty hosed up considering how much the game is about the consequences of wanting to kill people and how well done each route is. Like if you don't want to play that route whatever but that level of anger about it is a top tier goon level missing the forest for the trees.

The last 5min of the genocide route is perhaps the most creepy and chilling thing I have ever seen in a video game and I remember a chill going down my spine, getting goosebumps and I couldn’t look away until it ended. loving rules. What a great memory and lasting, effective impression. Def worth it if you have a fascination with difficulty and going in reeeeal deep.
