I found Yakuza 3 off putting at first after 0-2 but I actually really enjoyed it once you start doing a few things, the substories are pretty fun I think, I especially liked the one where you are trying to do English lessons, that must've been fun for Japanese players.

I don't play Fortnite, but Aloy looks dope as gently caress in it.

If this keeps up, by 2026 we're going to be able to recreate the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny in Fortnite

Haha I think it took me a bunch more tries. It took me a lot more times than Veeg!!!

I didn’t think I could be angrier at the Yhorm fight but then on Veeg’s stream the companion died when he had not even taken 5% of Yhorm’s health off. Like on mine at least he died when Yhorm was nearly done. I can’t believe From would program it so he can literally die within a few seconds of the fight starting. I honestly think that’s really lovely and mean and it put me in a terrible mood for a good 15 minutes after haha. Dark Souls!!!!!!!

I was informed that my health in the Oceirus fight was this low and somehow I survived and won:


Coupled with a few of my ridiculously lucky dodges against Dancer, so really my luck has to be balanced out by these things. :)

Need to build a crossover chart (exclude Smash as its own thing)

Aloy guested in Monster Hunter World, which had portals to FF14 and The Witcher, both of which crossed over with NieR Automata (the latter through Soul Calibur)...

Edit: On the other hand I don't think Aloy as a character actually shows up in either base MHW or Iceborne? It's just cosmetics right, all the other ones have established narrative setups that make them the actual characters.

Like in Fortnite is there any narrative element or is it also just "skins"

I've been under the impression that aside from Thanos they're all just skins to wear that don't have any special powers. I don't play Fortnite, not a Battle Royale kinda guy, I was more interested in their Save the World mode at first but that wasn't free and I didn't have much available on my PS4 at the time so why it give it a whirl?

It's just skins but they're really loving good skins

I don't play Fortnite but I like X-Men a lot so when they had the Marvel event I checked out the skins and all I could think of was "why isn't there a Marvel game that looks like this"

I don't have anything against these crossovers but they don't do anything for me either. For me the appeal of a character comes from the setting they are in and their "personality" and how these gel with each other.
Therefore, injecting them in other games doesn't appeal to me.

If it's their clothing and it fits thematically, which in MHW both Aloy's and Gerald's kinda would, it "makes sense" but a Stormtrooper Armor or the Joker in Fortnite for example? That's just random.

Like I said, I don't think it is "bad" but I don't really get the appeal.

For me I love stuff like smash bros where they are actually taking the character and making them a living thing inside this other game with their own moves and playstyle.

Aloy in Fortnite who plays the exact same as everyone else and is just a skin? no thanks

Putting a character into a game with their playstyle intact somehow: cool and good
Having a blank slate character you can dress up like barbie: cool and good
Having a pre-existing character you can dress up a bit like spiderman, or white spiderman: Hmm ok. Not bad
Having a skin with 0 effect that you slap on top of an existing blank slate character: bad

There’s literally nothing wrong with white people who have dreadlocks. That’s why I am saying it’s a good thing.

Outfits in Bloodborne have stats and while not being as critical as on Dark Souls games, you can stack fire resist and is worth doing. Fashion gives a tactical advantage tho.

Bloodsouls fashion good. Fortnite skins bad and kids can get addicted to them.

but you have to pay for the game. the skins are just cosmetic so that you can't buy an advantage. *shrug* it's a multiplayer game that's free, they have to make money somehow.
i don't get the fornite hate. it's like a fun little open world game with randomized enemies you play 20 minute rounds in. it's very pretty, there's "fall" section of the map now and at sunset or sunrise it's beautiful, it plays very well. it just doesn't seem to be a thing worth complaining about. i pop in, fish, drive around, shoot some people, it's a video game
