Oh yeah I should have said the CX is a no brainer at that price if you have a 5+ year old current tv. I paid 3300 dollarydoos for 65" last black friday and was upgrading from a b8 and don't regret it.

Guess it depends on how confident you are on the build quality, I’d probably buy the 4 years which takes it closer to John Lewis price when you factor in those earphones. Still a huge price drop tho

I really want a 65" LG CX but those things are still 1900 euros over here and I just don't want to spend that money on a tv. My current LED is about 7 years old but there's nothing wrong with it. edit: I just did some measuring and LMAO 65" is way too big for this apartment. I'll just stay with 55" when I upgrade, I'm kinda relieved as those are almost half the price from the 65". How far away are you guys sitting from your 65 tv's?

120 FPS on OLED has the most instantaneous input response I've ever used on console, it's a game changer. I play a lot of Gears 5 and I'm just noticeably better at getting the shot off first.

Can you only stream games that are on the Game Pass or is it based on some sort of compatability list? Like it seems as if I cannot stream Resident Evil (1), for example.

Only some games on Xbox Game Pass, with a smaller subset of these having an extra "touch control" option. A game has to be on Game Pass to be streamable at all, too, there are no games you can buy to own and then stream.

I have been playing Planet Coaster all weekend, it's so addictive. It reminds me of playing Theme Park decades ago, really fun stuff. I'll probably buy it should it one day disappear from game pass.

Only thing I miss from the Bone on the Series X is the HDMI in and OneGuide, which was the wrong direction to take the Xbox for that generation but whoever was tasked to do it did a drat good job. It was a fantastic implementation that made my cable box feel like it wasn’t a horrible pain in the rear end for once.

It was a fantastic implementation that made my cable box feel like it wasn’t a horrible pain in the rear end for once. It had significant flaws including being unable to handle a 50 Hz PAL signal. Interestingly this is also apparently an issue if you run emulators using RetroArch or whatever on Xbox, it doesn't let you do 50 Hz versions properly (which is advantageous for stuff like PS2 and Gamecube since as long as the rendering doesn't dip below 50fps you avoid stutter, whereas with NTSC versions you have to hit 60 locked).

A little over an hour into my first FF7 playthrough on my One S and the game is super charming, lol. I've seen it played by my cousin when it originally came out, and caught a few streams of it over the years, but have never played it myself. Haven't played a turn-based RPG since the original Pokemon on Gameboy. Enjoying it so far, I just wish the framerate wasn't so low

FFVIII is turnbased but you gotta be in a mood to want to play a game whose hardest possible difficulty is "playing it like any other JRPG, yes even Saga games" and its story most resembles someones loose dreams stitched into a narrative that slips away constantly

Laserface posted:are the yakuza games like sleeping dogs at all? Yakuza is that old Die Hard arcade beat em up meets Grand Theft Auto* and a Japanese crime drama. *In truth Yakuza doesn't play anything like Grand Theft Auto, but they're both crime centered games with a semi-serious story surrounded with a bevy of wacky side adventures. Yakuza isn't anywhere near as free roam as GTA though and there's no driving as far as I've seen. Zurtilik fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Apr 26, 2021 |

People tend to typically recommend Yakuza 0 first because it is one of the better received ones and it is the first chronologically. So if you don't like it, you probably won't like the other ones. Yakuza Kiwami is the first game remastered with a few new features and a lot of QoL updates.

Yakuza 0 or Yakuza: Like a Dragon are the best starting points for the series. First one is argueably the best game in the series and the latter has a new main character and game style has changed from brawler to turn-based rpg.

It’s looking like about 200hrs to play through the main series casually. Am I gonna play 0 and end up stuck in a Yakuza-hole for the next few months? I’m pretty tempted to dive in, but also the kind of player that starts a series late and just marathons it.

That would be too much Yakuza. The basic gameplay isn't varied enough to carry that kind of marathon.

You'll burn out halfway thru the second title.

If you really really really like Yakuza go ahead and marathon it but tbh the gameplay doesn’t change much, if at all, from Yakuza 0-6. The bigger changes are in things like the engine and in Like a Dragons case, the entire way you do battle.

The Yakuza games individually don't end on cliffhangers or anything so you don't have to budget out 200 hours or whatever to play through the series. Play 0 and then the Kiwamis if you like it and then go through the older games in order if you really like it. But you can for sure take months/years off between games and not feel like you are missing something. I honestly think Yakuza 0 is one of the best games ever made so I think you should at least try it for a few hours.

I'm halfway through Yakuza 0 at the part where you control the hostess club owner guy and I'm losing interest in that part, and have taken a long break. Should I power through back to the story parts I'm more likely to care about, skip to something like Yakuza 6 which hopefully has better combat/gameplay, or skip to Like a Dragon which apparently has gameplay I'll like a lot more?

Gameplay in Yakuza 0-6 never really gets "good" even if it has ups and downs. I'd turn the game difficulty to easy if you like the story, since that makes the combat just less. Yakuza 7, conversely, was one of my game of the year last year even if the combat system is very very obviously rushed. God it was so good and fixed my biggest problem with Yakuza games where the combat is just horrendous.
