Omobono posted:They absolutely nailed this in the game. He has a couple shotgun attacks that hurt like hell if they connect. They also have a long wind-up and a predictable dodge window with massive recovery frames afterwards, so everytime the shotgun comes out it's a free combo. I love the idea that Jagi would be legit the best Hokuto user if not for one fatal flaw. He missed the memo that Hokuto doesn't follow the more traditional rules of announcing your attack names BEFORE you hit. "My little brother is so slow, he forgets to shout his attack names until after the fact. Oh that silly Ken." Section Z fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Nov 6, 2018 |

Stelas posted:quick dirty version Yeah, okay. If you keep up in the story, you'll end up at a mission where you have to break rocks with your buggy. Just like with the tire mission, you'll drive to the area where the materials are and they'll be clear white pillars to pick up. Grab the mats, head back, make the bumper and you're gold. It's a hit infuriating, but eh.

I gotta say, everything to do with the buggy seems a bit half-baked I assume the reason you're not even allowed to go to the wasteland at night is because they didn't have time/money to build a night version of it

Knowing how the Yakuza team works, I'm sure if they had a chance to keep making FOTNS games, they'd keep refining and adding onto the buggy section features that seemed obvious from the get-go.

Yeah I think the wasteland was just a time thing. You can sort of tell because how like the entire southern part of the it is barely used but in the beginning of the game you drive out to the Cassandra. Instead of having stuff like Rei searching for his sister and then Souther/his gang and everyone else all just rolling up to this one city they probably planned to have like Souther's pyramid/etc. relevant locations around the wasteland like with the Cassandra. The foundation of something potentially awesome is there. Speaking of refined improvements, from Dead Souls to Binary Domain can you even imagine how loving awesome a Binary Domain 2 would be?

Finally read through the FOTNS manga up to and including Souther. Holy poo poo that was epic. Christ carrying his boulder of a cross up to Golgotha while bleeding to death, hundreds of children's lives at stake if he stumbles. Olympic gods causing mountains to collapse under the thunder of their fists.

Christ carrying his boulder of a cross up to Golgotha while bleeding to death, hundreds of children's lives at stake if he stumbles. Olympic gods causing mountains to collapse under the thunder of their fists. Fuckin owns. It's one of the few comics that really is just straight up biblically and spiritually epic without any exaggeration of the word epic. The cartoon is of course campy but legit awesome too, folks have written about this plenty of times but you can really tell that, like the Adam West Batman show they realized what they were capable of with the budget and they really do use that to intentionally funny effect very often like all the times Kenshiro slides into frame in the background while a guy in the foreground is menacing folks and so on. Not that the comic doesn't have moments of levity but it's such a weirdly perfect fit when dealing with such ridiculous mythology-level storytelling. Sort of like Batman TAS, they did the thing where the very first episode is just a little gorier than the rest* with the exploded bodies and stuff. I always appreciated that while they of course had to tone down some stuff color wise to make it a little less gory, they relatively did the nuclear apocalypse and resulting mayhem justice in a kids show. Speaking of which, it's not an amazing movie per se but if you like post-apocalyptic stuff you need to see THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, a 70s film that stars Yul Brynner, Max von Sydow, and George Eastman. Fist of the North Star wears its influences on its sleeve like Mad Max stuff and The New Barbarians and so on, but there's no way in hell they didn't see this flick also. Definitely belongs in the pantheon just for doing what it does before Mad Max 2, 2020 Texas Gladiators, etc. Anyway it's interesting because it was directed by Richard Clouse (Enter the Dragon) and IIRC Yul Brynner's role was initially being developed for Bruce Lee before he died. The role is a stoic (no really he just appears in town and stands there for a day straight), shirtless, unarmed combat warrior roaming the post apocalypse beating up assholes who raid defenseless villages of folks just trying to survive. Now with Mad Max (and martial arts, and Fist of the North Star and so on) existing there'd been some "Mad Max, but with fisticuffs instead of guns" attempt movies like Steel Dawn or Prototype X92A, but can you even imagine how different action movies would be if something that was basically Fist of the North Star that actually starred Bruce Lee and his input happened in the 70s? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXO2o0peZGM *TAS' first completed episode (airing is weird so depending on where you were it may not have been the first episode you saw) is the only one with blood in it via Batman getting a bloody lip and some rare moments of hit impacts and stuff actually being shown on screen. IIRC it might be the only one where they use the word "killed" instead of "disappeared" or "his mind was erased" or whatever too. That stuff is always fascinating to me when grim or violent material is attempted to be fit into kid programming. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Nov 7, 2018 |

Welp, lost my patience for 3-5 to be announced so I just went ahead and bought 6. I’ve kinda absorbed here and there that Haruka grew up to be an idol singer in 5, and decided to spectacularly end her career by announcing at a concert that she was quitting and that she loved her ex-yakuza dad. Is there anything else important I need to be filled in on going in?

Even in a series not overly populated by smart people, Koji Shindo is one dumb motherfucker. Also the photoshoot minigame in Kiwami 2 is the worst minigame so far. Even apart from the creep factor, the mechanics aren't engaging and a round goes on for far too long. Telephone Club did a similar thing much better.

With it you can access the entire map after a ch 9 sidequest opens the bottom half(and also dick around in the Northern Mountains way earlier than you're supposed to, though there's not much to do there besides pick up some materials) It's still not the most annoying part of the buggy, that honor goes to the top tier parts, the materials with which to repair them can only be found in any decent quantity from a single trader in the bottom-left corner of the map next to a building(higher up in that building is a hostess, too) Anyway I'm enjoying the game a lot so far, my one complaint is that I wish there was a bit more variety in dudes exploding.

Like Sega produced the ASW fighting game several years ago and that had the theme and also the "Kenshiro's hulking out now" tracks too and was absolutely NOT a big budget game on any level. I mean the game's original tracks (in both cases) are excellent too but come on. I really do love that version of Receive You though. My Lovely Horse posted:Even in a series not overly populated by smart people, Koji Shindo is one dumb motherfucker.
