It's worth nothing that they sat a bunch of actual Yakuza in front of someone playing the game and literally the only 2 complaints about the realism were "you can't beat people with bicycles in broad daylight, you'd get arrested instantly" and "the fashions are way out of date" (Yakuza 0 takes place in the 80's) If you want "Japanese gangster film with occasional interludes of beat-em-up" then you're good; if you want to spend hours racing slot cars or running a real estate racket or a hostess club, you're good; if you want deep gameplay you're pretty much SOL.

Here's a legit unpopular opinion - I got Fallout 76 a month ago and it's fun as hell. I have enough caps to just fast travel whenever I feel like it, eating & drinking is tedious but not a big deal, and Nuclear Winter is addicting. I expect the update this fall will be more akin to Lost Harbour LC as far as amount of NPC content goes, and that's OK

controller vibration was awesome and I can't believe they scaled back on developing the technology, instead of upgrading it to outright electrocution as they should have.

Once someone realised you could make remote control dildos I assume all the greatest minds working in the field started making those instead

Some of the shrines or whatever they were called are cool and good. The main game though is pretty meh compared to other Zeldas.

I loved the concept and the style but the shrines were a really poor attempt to mask the fact that the entire game is 4 30-minute dungeons and an incredibly easy (even for the series) final dungeon/final boss sequence.

the steam controller had really nice vibration motors in it that could trick your hand into believing you were spinning a trackball and it's not hard to imagine games using them to great effect, like maybe being able to feel the road surface in a driving game. sadly everything is held back by the bare-minimum vibration capabilities of the console gamepads

The Xbone controller was awesome for racing games cos the triggers had some kind of vibration, you could feel the traction etc. It’s just a shame theyre made so poorly and cheaply

The steam controller would have actually been good if it had a real d-pad on the left. The track pad on the right and the gyros were genuinely really cool and playing games like Cities Skylines on the couch was dope but it was useless for anything that required precise movement like platformers.

Sim Earth was a lot of fun even though I never really knew exactly what I was doing. My goal was usually sentient dinosaurs and beyond that, come what may. I took a technology elective in seventh grade that had all these little modules you spend a week on before moving to something else and playing Sim Earth was one of the modules. So that was cool. Also the Gaia Hypothesis is a neat way of looking at the world, although a little depressing because if you buy into it humanity is undoubtedly a malignant growth.

I don't understand the outrage here. They cut a deal with Epic and moved their headquarters and that's bad? edit: like I get why people don't like exclusivity but tons of smaller devs are doing that with Epic right now, why does this one stand out from the pack?
