I have decided to spend the rest of December with Yakuza0! Considering I am just about to start my real estate adventure and have been playing for 27 hours, I am going to need all the weeks I can get  Speaking of weeks! I am not sure if some of you remember, but in 2017 I attempted a thing called My Year in Gaming. It was a way to get my stupidly large steam backlog down. I had decided to give each month a theme and only play a specific genre for that month. Japanuary meant I only played games made by Japanese companies and so on. I had to stop doing it in April because my PC gave up the ghost, the poor thing is from 2009 and still barely trucking along even now. By the time I replaced the hard drives, the ram and the PSU it was the latter end of the year and the main reason for doing the year was to attack steam games. One blessing of being without PC gaming was that I was able to spend more time with my consoles and I really fell in love with the setup again. I want to do my year in gaming again for 2019 and I have come up with a different style, one of which makes me grin stupidly because of the setup. This time instead of themed months, I am going to choose 52 seperate games and play one a week. They are going to be games I have never played or am so very close to finishing and I have a week to get as far into them as I can. On Sunday I am going to do a little write up on that game with my thoughts, feelings, if I finished it and if not, would I go back to it. These will all be in a seperate thread. I am going to call it: Action 52 again, stupidly happy with this!!

VG I admire your plan but I have to say, I think 52 games in a year is a crazy target! I wouldn't want to rush a game if I felt it was going to take more than a week

I dunno like even if you did 2 hours a night you'd clear most games in a week averaged out. I hope this isn't the year you catch up on your final fantasy backlog VG!

I had a lot of fun with the 2017 challenge and experienced a ton of games I otherwise would not have tried. I am not going to rush, but treat 2019 like a tasting menu!CrRoMa posted:I dunno like even if you did 2 hours a night you'd clear most games in a week averaged out. I still have FFXV to do at some point! I think I am going to leave all of the really big games for now and focus on some of the smaller bitesize games

52 is very doable if you mix in shorter games with bigger ones. I 100%all three spyro games in less than two weeks and also completed the bf:V campaign. Another two weeks prior, I completed Jak 3 and tomb raider (the first one of the remakes) Good luck VG

VG that’s a wonderful idea and you better post updates every week at minimum! I have a feeling it will inspire me to finish some games I left behind or try ones I wouldn’t have otherwise. exquisite tea posted:War for Cybertron had really fun multiplayer, too bad it went dead in a month. It was so much fun, right? Shame it didn’t catch on. I didn’t play the sequel but I don’t remember it having any hype at all. Montalvo posted:I spent all weekend playing RDR2. I have to say that I love all the details and the constant fussing around. Treasure maps are tough though, goddamn. The controls/animations/deliberate nature of every action is the main thing that I love so much about RDR2. Everything is done with purpose and it adds a lot to the way the game handles Arthur in story and the general passage of time in the game. It’s all so satisfying to interact with. I’m always chasing for games that feel amazing to play and it’s one of the best. That combined with the unbelievably good work by the art team and it’s a world I can walk around aimlessly in for a while and enjoy the little things. RDR2 is the most mindful and meditative AAA game I’ve ever played. It’s something a lot of games miss when trying to capture that western spirit.

The final chapter or two of Yakuza 2 is just unbelievable in the amount of pigheaded stubborn macho men being macho at each other and the 100% seriousness of it somehow makes it work What a ride . Time to do majima saga. K2 was pretty fast, about 27 hours for nearly all substories that didn't involve minigames I suck at. Did all the cabaret but not the construction clan thing It's also funny an unnamed repeat boss (man in Black) is way harder to fight than any named character mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Dec 3, 2018 |

I beat RDR2 on OneX my first go around, now I'm replaying it on PS4 Pro. I'm now playing the way that I should have been, by wandering around finding countless things to do instead of just plowing through the story. At the same time its nice to not wonder about what is going to happen and worry about online spoilers. I spent like 4 hours last night just doing gently caress all and it was wonderful.

I do play yakuzas on easy after doing 0 on normal so that could explain how I did it fast. There's too much random street combat to plow through on anything more than easy And at this point I've done most minigames plenty so barely touched them besides seeing what new karaoke songs were there Majima dating advice sounds great but I might just YouTube it rather than drop 5 hours into a minigames to get a pair of scenes. I wwss willing to do that for Yuki though. Yakuza 7 should just be 40 hours of finding Yuki a loving husband. Maybe she can get with the judge eyes guy??

DOOM patches contain the contents of the multiplayer DLC, so they were pretty dickish at first when that was paid DLC, a little less bad but still bad once those went free for everybody.
