Novasol was streaming it, and the new music seems fine, but everything moves weird in platformer mode, and sim mode has clutter and poor visual clarity.

Absolutely do not give Square any money for Actraiser: Renaissance. It is irredeemably terrible. Take it from someone who has powered through most of it by now and do not make the same mistake I did.Donnerberg posted:Look before you buy on this one. It seems to be a mobile port. Hello, familiar face! EDIT: I looked into it and this is the dev who made this. They mostly do railroad and cooking sims, they were 100% not prepared for this game at all.

At least there's Smelter until someone makes a proper Actraiser sequel.

Actraiser's sprites look so bad. They remind me of how they used to make spritesheets out of pre-rendered 3D graphics like in Donkey Kong except worse.

Steam keys are $3.99 on Newegg right now which brings you out to a pretty drat agreeable 7 cents/hour dollars to entertainment ratio if you spend as much time with the game as I did lol. edit: Actually that link may not work, try this one https://www.newegg.com/sega-yakuza-0/p/N82E16832203319

Thanks for the 8bitdo 2 recommendations from a couple pages ago, it's a good feeling controller. Good gamefeel. Feelgood gaming. Any recommendations for a USB headset, ideally with a detachable mic?

Is the Sega sales page on Steam bugged for anyone else? It only shows like 8 games but clearly there are a lot more on sale, but I don't wanna like...think of Sega titles and search one by one.

Just so much stuff in it. It’s great. It was basically the last game they made in that engine so it has allllll the minigames except I think golf.

I've played half an hour of the game, and so far it seems flawed-but-OK at worst; does it worsen in some way?

I don’t think there’s a genuinely awful place to start in the main series.

I don’t think there’s a genuinely awful place to start in the main series. 6/Kiwami 2 are great games but a bad place to start IMO since you won’t really get the full scope of poo poo to do like the old games but the new engine is so much smoother going back is difficult. 7 is at least different enough you won’t find yourself missing QoL features or 6’s faster combat.

Feels like this is fixed here, and the card game seems well fleshed out.

I don’t think there’s a genuinely awful place to start in the main series. Yakuza has the weird issue where until 0 came out and everything got ported to PC most people said that 4 was the best one, but nobody made a point of also clarifying that it was by far the least approachable without prior context. Oddly enough, it's also the game that I think suffered the most from its links to the other stories. Don't get me wrong, 4's great, but all I wanted from that game was 30 hours of Akiyama's Dumb Real Estate Money Laundering Adventure, and 30 hours of Prison Break starring Saejima. Tanimura was flat and unlikable by comparison, and even though I was hype to switch over to Kiryu, I think that 3 was the perfect ending for him and not letting him retire and run his awesome orphanage was a big mistake.

I've been really enjoying MGS V. The second overlong unfun mission in it is the one where you get Emmerich. I don't know how long I spent. I finally got the guy, and made my way out, then you have a big enemy who you have to run away from. The point of this scene is that Snake is running away from this enemy. They told me to find a good place to hide, so I ran for one--outside of bounds. "Warning: approaching edge of mission area" then I tried to turn around but literally could not turn around fast enough and a voice says:quote:Hold it. We're doing this again, from the top. I didn't stress. I had a checkpoint. They couldn't mean from the top. They couldn't. Even the cruelest games I've ever played would not dream of deleting my save file for a mistake. An unavoidable mistake. THEIR mistake! They... deleted my file. I don't want to sound dramatic, but my plan now is to crucify myself, upside down, in Kojima's garden so his family finds my body.

As you die and your vision goes black, the words "A Hideo Kojima Production" appears in the corner of your eye and you realize your entire life was actually the pre-intro cutscene for a Kojima game.

I loved the demo too Don't want to spoil anything but if you've played The Hex you can probably go into the full game with some expectations for the amount of gameplay variety present. Plenty of cards though, no question there.
