I also genuinely love how Kazuma Kiryu is consistently a friend to all children and will help them with their problems, no matter how big or small those problems might be

while the story quality varies a lot from game to game, yakuza's also probably the most successful example of a continuous long-running story i've seen. Y0 to Y6 will take you across 30 years of these characters' sad, silly lives it takes three games of context to really understand why this song makes half the fanbase watery-eyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBzLRGWNjA

The karaoke tracks are always mentioned in the context of that series (and for a good reason) but it's always worth mentioning that those games also have some real banger soundtracks in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlEGflonuZA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CIboBRoQb4

Ainsley McTree posted:I would say the main story is more akin to professional wrestling kayfabe than a more nuanced drama; everyone's physicality and emotions are ramped up to 11 and characters on screen will telegraph very clearly whether they're a heel or a face at the moment (this role can and will change frequently throughout the story, however), and i've lost track of how many characters have died and come back to life (or have they??) but it's entertaining as hell. Kiryu would’ve made a great wrestler, too bad he became a criminal.

The RPG overworld seems like basically a skin on top of a pretty much linear and unrelated progression of breakout fights, but it would be so cool if there was actually a real rpg/progression layer on top.

Loot River is a game where you use the platforms you stand on to transform the stage layout on the fly. The trailer does sell it pretty well.

Aspects about Biomutant look a kinda jank, but it also looks like one of those overambitiious, underfunded Eurogames that you don't see much of anymore.

I am extremely excited for Biomutant. Not because I think it's going to be incredible but because I think it's going to be a giant mess and I am here for it. It'd be cool if it was good too though.

The classic kitchen sink approach, it's got: kung fu, guns, magic, vehicles, mutations, assuredly some sort of skill tree, I'm just gonna guess it has loot and crafting, all wrapped up in a weird aesthetic.

Got Subverse and put about 2 hours into it getting through the introductory scenes (until you're turned loose on the galaxy) and listening to all of the voice acting (the voice acting is really loving good). Game's got quite a good story that actually has some thought put into it. The shmup combat is decent and even the turn based was interesting. Definitely some strategizing to be done.
