Boy of Joy posted:I’m pretty sure I’m on the last mission/boss of Armored Core 6 NG++ and this game is just unreal. Came out of left field for me, although I knew It was so good, such a fun/funny reveal. The last boss is whiney players who got filtered. Would be more on the noise if it was wheels with double gatlings and zimmermans. In reality though it was a great choice and fit well with the story. The biggest, most annoying little douche who actually nearly beat everyone through sheer will power (of salt)

Escobarbarian posted:I am on chapter 3 in Armoured Core NG++ and the “destroy all the escaping helicopters” mission stopped me dead in my tracks. The very final part of it is just awful!!!! But I also never really stuck to one build through all my three runs through the game even if I fell back on some of the more broken stuff sometimes. Every time I unlocked new stuff I wanted to try it out. Reminds me of my Elden Ring playthrough where I constantly kept trying new weapons

Cold steel 1 and 2 take place concurrently with zero/azure but from different sides of a conflict so you can play either duo before the other, tho zero/azure were released before any of the cold steel games Or so I've been told. I've only played cold steel 1 so far:)

I really need to continue my Yakuza journey. 0 is a GOAT. 1 Kiwami was excellent. 2 Kiwami I started. Got 3-7 thanks to PSPlus and sales. Plus I will now play LAD because I am a turn based convert.

There's a whole ending sequence in CS2 that loses a lot of impact if you've no idea who these people are and a major woah moment if you do.

Yeah there was some confusion when the characters from other games showed up and talked about events in those games but it was minimal and knowing “hey these are the protagonists from other trails games” was enough to have fun with it.

Rt feels good, even better once you fix the controls. Game looks weird without it. Has that control problem of checkerbox shadow trails that look like poo poo cos it was made with rt in mind

Been a month so I forget weapon names, but I think it was the plasma rifle (?) that has really long range takes down each helicopter in a single shot. Just have that plus a mech with good vertical boost so you can swap between the upper and lower levels. Makes it easy to hit all of them.

Then after that, Yakuza 3 is both, at the same time.

I’m hoping I have a better time with Kiwami 2, the better game engine makes it look good yeah but considering 0 was made, what 11 or so years after 1 where they learnt how to tell a story better, cant be helped but the additions were cool and still up there imo. 2 is great but theres a bit of a memey thing with the plot which isnt too good (being vague here) but still music in that kicks rear end and its all good in the grand scheme of things. written by a big japanese crime novelist or screenwriter i think. 3 is has a different vibe going for it, it owns but that first half can gently caress with people lol. (its the best bit  ) honestly 4 is the weak link imo. 5 owns but is holy poo poo insanely big and 6 and 7 are up there with 0. so is judgment. depending what mood im in so its lost judgment.fucl i want gaiden and 8 so bad rn

Kiwami 2 still lacks the mountain of sidequest and mini game content from Y0, but the shiny new engine makes that easier to accept. I definitely enjoyed it more than Kiwami 1.

Guillermus posted:Returnal is very good but I'm on the second biome (desert) and feeling that I'm not progressing enough like, there's a traversal tool/upgrade I should find there that will also open paths on the first biome but can't find it. You get the traversal tool after defeating the desert level boss. I found that unlocking weapon perks was a big help in the early game, stick with a gun untill you unlock a new perk, that can be the difference between a lame weapon and a room-clearing WMD.

Yeah keep in mind that some of the weapons are very bad without specific perks and very good with them. Like the shotgun’s base effective range is rear end but you can unlock barrel choke and slug options that make it very strong (and a wide spread option that makes it even worse for some reason)

Early game try to stick with the machine gun - esp if you get the stronger but slower bullets. Shotgun is okay but will eventually lose out as you do not wanna be close to these things. Sometimes keeping your lower level weapon is fine as long as you can kill so you aren't using a brand new but weak weapon. Later on I found the purple gun to be god tier - I beat the game with it easier than anything else. But yeah, the side effect to this is you have to unlock perks to make things even better. Keep at it though - the game is worth it.

The Podcast GET PLAYED is doing a recap on Shadows of the Collosus so I'm replaying that and man I feel loving awful. Just a bummer. The music is excellent and you can see the direct through line to the last 2 Zelda games in this. The controls have been harder to get used to than I was expecting. 6 down. AGRO!

I’m in the second to last chapter of the Ishin! remaster and I think it might be tied with 0 for my favorite Yakuza title. All the side content is great and the combat styles are fun too. It’s also nice to see characters from the previous mainline games come to take part in a fun little period piece.
