Screaming Idiot posted:And you can customize dude asses. More games need to let you customize dude asses. The key isn't to de-sexualize female characters, but to make dudes as sexualized as the ladies. Kojima's new game needs more lovingly rendered man rear end, I agree. My sister was disappointed in MGSV because she assumed that being able to customize a soldier in a Kojima game meant that she'd be able create a male version of Quiet but no dice.

I Just straight suck, and it's a bit of sour grapes, but I just want to watch the videos, and the clapping and tambourine sounds distract from the scenes so much.

The dancing is really tough for me, largely because the windows for hitting the buttons seem really specific in a way that doesn't feel very intuitive. The karaoke I'm pretty solid at, once I remembered where all the face buttons are; if you're like I was and playing on PC after mostly knowing the Playstation button layout, it really sucks.

Dancing isn't about just hitting buttons at the right time. You want to use the time between button presses to try to rack up big long paths for bigger combos.

That part's secondary though, so long as you hit the timings you'll usually win so it's better to primarily focus on that.

Oh, I know that full well. I was doing a whole bunch of that, and then getting nothing because the button press itself has a VERY weird window.

Even having "mastered" (not really) the Disco Dance mini-game, I gotta say I don't like it at all. Step-racking feels to me like it goes against the idea of a rhythm game, and the button press timing always feels kinda finicky and buttons I'd swear should have gone right go wrong. Also the various things going on regularly overload my eyes sorta, making it harder to keep track of the shrinking square. Karaoke feels a lot better for me, though sometimes I need to practice a song once first to get a feel for the speed each line will go.

I guess I’m some kind of idiot savant because I’m not very good at video games in general but I love disco dancing in Y0 and while I had trouble at first it really clicked with me eventually. I’m really bummed it’s not in other games (although I guess they’d have to change the disco theme which is half the fun). Racking up a huge combo all around the board and then making it to the button at the exact instant before it disappears is a hell of a thrill, and all the music for it rules

I liked the side quest in the original Yakuza where a guy is at the karaoke bar but embarrassed because he can't sing, and he asks you to prove to her that real men can't sing by deliberately screwing up the karaoke. That was funny.

Sleepy dogs also had a sidequest like that but you could ace the song anyway and ruin his day. I wonder if they were inspired by Yakuza.

Actually I think I was thinking of Sleeping Dogs. Whoops. Got stuck on the original Yakuza due to that garbage highway railshooter level where there is literally no way to heal as you can't open the menu and it goes on for far too long.

This is pretty much fixed in Kiwami 1 on PC. And by fixed, I mean you can now use a mouse and completely cheese it.

It's one of the more rare outfits to find him in (it is a random chance every time he spawns), so most people run in and out of one restaurant and check for him over and over. There's a dragon style XP point for defeating that version.

Got around to continuing on Strange Brigade after putting it down for a while (because I got engrossed in Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass), just approaching the end of the penultimate level. There was a really cool unique trap to use to kill the enemies - a colossus statue that if you shot a button on it's chest it fired an explosive laser from it's eyes. That owned. Also due to how the levels are laid out you can sometimes see old or upcoming setpieces from different angles, and that's always nice.

Just wanted to post a cool thing that happened and gave me a real "woah" moment regarding graphics technology. I was playing The Division 2 but that doesn't really matter so much as the little thing itself: I was able to shoot at an enemy that I could not physically see because it was too dark in the room (no light sources), because I saw his shadow casting on the wall coming in my direction and it was such a well-defined shape that I could tell exactly what he was doing and where he was. It kind of blew my mind that graphics tech has come so far that I could tell exactly where the guy was without being able to see him as if I were actually in the room with him or something. I was able to employ something that I reasonably would have been able to do and would have done in such a situation in real life, without having to think of it in terms of "how do I find this guy within the confines of the video game's rules and limitations", and it was kind of shocking in a really fascinating way!

i played through the pathologic 2 demo and the layers of metafiction in that story make it beautifully disorienting in a way you don't really see anywhere else on one level it's a surreal story about a mysterious plague overtaking an eastern european town, but it's also a theatrical production about the nature of choice, will, and consequence, to the point where there's an entire type of NPC that acts as stagehands/chorus, dramatically perching around key scenery or posing on street corners unheeded by everyone and "acting" out people's inner thoughts or future events the protagonists seem variously aware of and annoyed by all this while they try to go about their business, and absolutely everyone speaks in this infuriatingly elliptical mode of speech where any points they're making are buried in like three layers of metaphor and half the information they do give you is a lie i don't know if i'll ever bother with the full release but i'm still happy it exists Oxxidation has a new favorite as of 02:58 on May 13, 2019 |

I just beat Stick it to the Man, which was cute, although due to being pure comedy the asylum has some really reductive views of mental illness, but the writing really shined with the ending with the countdown. The robot is the main villain's mother's brain downloaded into a space station, and during a heated argument as tempers flare due to her showing embarrassing photos of the villain to her son's prisoners, after she mentions her death, he states that "Maybe you should just go ahead and do that then!" Then the mother decides to really passive-aggressively comply by setting off her self-destruct sequence. She has so0me great lines during the (fake, the time limit isn't an ingame thing) countdown, like "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0... respect is what I get around here!" and then right at the end it ends with "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 0.5. 0.4. 0.3. You know I don't think you really care about me. Maybe your just a jerk. 0.2, 0.1. Sometimes I wish I'd never been downloaded into this satellite... But you know, after all this, do you know how many regrets I have? Zero. *boom*" I loved that moment.

You probably do this specific thing hundreds of times It's even better if 0 is your first Yakuza game and you have no idea about his Mad Dog persona (assuming you do the karaoke earlier than the last couple chapters), which fits in much more cleanly with that karaoke video. You really only see him in his tragic persona from the story and his Lord of the Night persona, mostly from side stories, which is more like hyper-professionalism and cool-headed badass. And then here comes 24-hour Cinderella.
