On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I'd easily put FotNS over Dead Souls, Kiwami 1, 4, and 5. I give it some slack in that it doesn't have a decade plus of games to build on and has a tighter all-around experience albeit stuck in the Hokuto no Ken Greatest Hits storyline they're forced to integrate into their own. If it were entirely focused on the story of Eden it'd be a lot better but they have to have all the fights everyone knows so it's a weaker experience, but I enjoyed myself far more playing it than a good number of Yakuza Studios titles.

Wait is yakuza 3 supposed to be one of the good ones? I thought it was the rough one you get through to get to 4-6, it's definitely the one I stalled out on.

Yeah it’s definitely not my favorite. It’s really slow to get started and then even after that, I only remember a few things that happened in it.

How is Yakuza Kiwami 2? I thought 0 >>> 1 even though Nishikiyama/Kiryu's story was interesting it just didn't hit the same levels as 0. Also I heard there is some combat change in 2?

Kiwami 2 is really good (the original 2 was too). The combat changes make it more like 6, with more flowing combos and less boss bullshit.

If dead souls had a coherent control scheme it'd probably be remembered slightly less unfavorably.

Yeah. I assume they were trying to compromise with users who had never played any shooters before, but it just didn’t work and left it feeling like an early PS1 game.

It's not like they couldn't, either. Wasn't Binary Domain the same everything?

Yeah BD had a completely standard control scheme for the genre I think. It almost seems like an apology for how they made Dead Souls.

I actually like the orphan dad sim parts but the combat is real bad and random fights give you like 10XP each and can't be avoided so grinding is both useless and required

Also the chase minigame is extremely poorly conceived

Demons Souls seems way harder that any Dark Souls

But it’s real fun. gently caress the little floor traps in Tower of Latria

Demons is easier, believe it or not. The difficulty seems to be pretty front loaded. Also most of the zone end bosses are gimmick easy fights. I'm no master Souls player by any means.

Why not just patch a sane control scheme into a game I personally wanted to like?!

Finished tlou2. Good poo poo. Fantastic game the whole way through though I wish I didn’t suffer from “saving all my poo poo for the final encounter” syndrome only to find that those rattlers were it. Oh well. I felt the same level of tension during levels as I did playing mgsv. I’m a walking arsenal who’s basically unstoppable but the way they make things seem insurmountable is really effective.

managed to remain spoiler free for my entire run except the joel death. but that happened so early on that it didn’t really matter. unsure what the negativity surrounding it was at launch.

some choices I need someone else to choose:
- finish REmake 1 + play 2
- start demons souls
- ghost of Tsushima
- wildcard choice (I’m not going to play 13 sentinels where my housemates can see me don’t mention it)

I got nothing against the Switch thread but I stopped reading it because the tangents people would go off on were about things I care about way less than the tangents in this thread, for instance

But that means I have nowhere to talk about Hades! (I really like Hades)

Hades is the first game in recent memory where I had to delete it off my switch Sony PlayStation 4 so I could compel myself to play anything else. I was getting too obsessive over wanting builds instead of just dealing with boons as they came. Plus I romanced Meg so consider the game finished

I wish Hades were on PS4 because then I could claim another Platinum, with Steam's sieve-like achievement system there's less of a feeling of accomplishment in doing that

The Xbox thread is bad mainly because there’s absolutely no games on it to talk about whatsoever. Its topic of discussion for the last three days has been about batteries. I actually just unbookmarked it because I can’t think of a single game coming out that I’d want to play on Xbox. Switch thread is sour and dour at times but generally fine. At least there’s plenty of games on it to talk about.

I recently learned that the only reason MS doesn't put rechargeables in their controllers is because they have a longstanding contract with Duracell :barf:
