Akuma posted:ESO is okay but it does feel quite heavily dumbed down, especially in conversations - I don't think you're ever given a conversation choice in the entire game, you just choose them all to get all the information. Wasn't dumbed down conversations a problem in FO4 as well? If this is the trend, I'm seriously concerned for ESVI.

Instant Grat posted:The collector's edition was advertised as including a canvas bag, but the bag people actually received is made out of cheap, lovely nylon. When contacted about it, customer support responded (paraphrasing) "yeah it turned out the canvas bags were too expensive to make. We're not planning on doing anything to rectify this. Enjoy your game." Also note that this lovely gift of 5$ worth of digital money is to address complaints by people who spent 200$ on the collector's edition.

VideoGames posted:Excited to play some more Yakuza0 this evening! It's the best Yakuza game probably, though I personally like 5 and K2 more. I really hope Yakuza 5 gets remastered, even if it's maybe the longest game in existence. The platinum trophy for Yakuza 5 requires some kind of brain disease to get. Anora posted:They already made a PS5witch guys, it was called the Vita, it was good, but unsupported. remember the original model with the video out port and the tv scaler that went completely unused lol i can't believe people though "second screen" was the way to go, Microsoft did that poo poo too and even Nintendo went full press on it before realizing nobody loving wanted a second screen. they wanted a mobile device that could easily send video out to the TV.

All the Yakuza platinum trophies are exclusively for people who think it's a good idea to keep playing a game long after you're no longer having fun with it - that doesn't stop the games from being wonderful. Trophies are incredibly stupid and your Gamer's Life will improve immensely once you turn trophy notifications off and stop giving a poo poo about them. (I think the ending card told me I had 75+ hours played in Yakuza 5 when I beat it, and I was nowhere near a platinum trophy. Instead, I had a lot of fun)

I literally learned the rules of mahjong to get trophies in Yakuza and am now part of a local club which is a good indication of my brain worm level (not shogi though, I hate chess and just used a computer for those challenges)

It's better for a game's trophy list to be replete with bullshit so you just flat-out reject it on a visceral level than appear to be doable only to reveal 1-2 bullshit achievements that get in the way of 100%.

The alternative is Bloodborne, where the platinum trophy is just "do all the stuff there is to meaningfully do in the game". Trophychievements are either inconsequential or ridiculous. And then there's, like..... 3 games, ever, that have done unique and interesting things with them (Stanley Parable, NieR:A, maybe one or two more) Feels Villeneuve posted:(not shogi though, I hate chess and just used a computer for those challenges) See this is my point, what is even the idea behind doing this just to make a badge no-one else will ever look at pop on a server somewhere. How is that engaging

Dead Rising 1 had the best achievements. That just nailed the mix of being actually difficult poo poo that made you play the game in unusual but entertaining ways (except Zombie Genocide, gently caress that one)

Horizon Zero Dawn and Hellblade had really easy achievements, those are the only two games I've ever gotten all the trophies for. And I guess AC Odyssey too now, which is surprisingly forgiving for a game of its size.

It's the same engine as Y0 so as long as they still have assets for higher rez textures it should look fantastic (Y0 is a great, great looking game even on a PS3 engine)

The original Mirror's Edge also had some nifty "do this complicated karate move"-achievements (kick off one wall, then kick off another wall, then do a backflip somersault kick - that sort of thing) - they only took a few seconds to actually perform, but required a bunch more time to actually get into your muscle memory. And then you just had that in your repertoire for the rest of the game. That was cool.

Exactly. It's frustrating to be one trophy away that consists of painstakingly following a guide to collect 50 useless things across the map. I've even done this a few times but it's dumb to do BBs plat trophy is funny since you can cheese it by savescumming. Oh and speaking of yak2, I constantly dominate any and every hostess championship in both 0 and 2. Last night I only did two rounds in the top league, said eh I have the same number of fans as the opponent, and went in. I won by 200k out of 7m earnings, solely due to the oil baron at the end  What happens if you lose one of those?

Agreed and I also hate when there're things to unlock by playing games on the hardest difficulty, backwards, no saving, pacifist, no alerts. I'd love to play around with some of the cool things you added to the game but damned if I'm gonna devote three hours to solving a mid game encounter because I can only survive- with 10% of my health remaining- one enemy looking at me before getting shot around a corner by one of his friends behind a bus. Anyway, I bought remastered Last of Us and the Evil Within 2 and what is this bethesda account nonsense? As if Origin and windows live weren't bad enough!

The problem with Fallout 4's conversations was the options stated could vary quite wildly from what'd actually be said, or even contradict it. Some of the more popular mods on PC just replace it with the actual spoken dialogue that will be said and it looks no different layout-wise.

You shouldn't shame others for wanting to get trophies/achievements. If you don't like it, so be it. Don't worry too much about how others enjoy video games. Unless it's Fallout 76, then you can worry all you want.

yeah I mean they're dumb but on the other hand they got me to try a bunch of poo poo in the Yakuza games that I'd probably not have touched otherwise (mainly the gambling games), and those ended up being really fun lol. I really hate that most of the gambling games are still not ported into the new engine, hopefully that's fixed by Judge Eyes. I wanna play baccarat!!! (also the pink numbers on the tiles in the dragon engine are truly hideous. who thought this was acceptable)

Akuma posted:For me it's only been busted in the usual Bethesda ways, and I barely see other people, when I do they're just doing their own thing, I've played it completely solo. But you play games with your significant other, right? I'd imagine that would be great. I'm sure I'm going to play with my friends eventually and I'm looking forward to that, but it doesn't feel (yet) like I'm missing out by being alone - in fact the excellent soundtrack really plays into that isolated, lonely feel. It's on the streaming services so I'd recommend that for some flavour of the game. We live together and swap off or do couch coop so unfortunately F76 wouldn’t work for us. I’m glad you seem to be enjoying it! I love the main Bethesda games to death (gf does as well) so I’ll eventually try it but not for a while. I’ll buy it the day it gets a pure solo mode tbh. The lonely isolated feeling that they went for seems so good. It’s hard to figure out why they combined it with an online only game. Who knows. Fuckin’ Todd. You beautiful insane boy, Todd.

I think this has far surpassed Andromeda and even Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric at this point in the last 5 years of bombs but I think I might be forgetting one more... Edit: Battlefront 2.

beep by grandpa posted:https://twitter.com/screencuisine/status/1067985020336230401?s=19 This is a far bigger trainwreck because it's a service game. It's supposed to have a long sustainable lifespan, generating income off microtransactions to pay off whatever money they sank into it for the foreseeable future and turn a tidy profit on top of that. Between the generally bad reviews, treating their whales like chumps (ie; the people who willingly forked over $200+ for the Collector's Edition), and just plain being buggy as hell, it's gonna be dead and buried within three to six months.
