That's the problem with 40 hour games, sometimes they start bad and get good, sometimes the opposite.

For the record I don't hate NnK2, I've played it for over 50 hours now and don't regret it, but it has a ton of weird half-baked stuff in it and feels incredibly budget outside of the nice graphics. Oh wait I remember this feeling from playing Resi 7 last year.

NNK2 is really weird. It's poorly written and feels cheap but I'm still having fun playing it. Even the story has its moments. I'm just probably gonna go through it slower than I would otherwise because it doesn't always grab me.

Yakuza 1 is the only game in the series I've played and it was p. good but I wouldn't recommend someone just whip out their PS2 and start playing it. Also gently caress Mishima.

Anybody got any strong opinions about Horizon Zero Dawn DLC? Is it mostly end/postgame content?

I'd ask in the HZD thread but I really liked the HZD story and want to avoid spoilers

It's like mid/latter half content, and it's probably my favorite stuff in the game story wise, though there's an annoying enemy.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

It's good, roughly the equivalent of what Hearts of Stone was to TW3. 10-12 hours of new content in a really beautiful looking snowy zone with an overarching storyline that ties into the main plot. It's not postgame, but it is expected you'll be pretty high level before entering as it's significantly harder than anything else in the vanilla campaign. Some cool new weapons, good sidequests, a few new machines and some quality of life improvements. It's more Horizon Zero Dawn!

Yakuza 0 is such a loving achievement on its own, and it contextualizes so much of Kiwami in a way that right off the bat feels fuckin' awesome.

I played the game twice each time only taking missions from just one of the two sides and that helped me get through it after burning out on my first run a year earlier. a mob only run is really fun and well paced.

Review Scores Don’t Matter, but if you have to review Far Cry 5 and give it a score docking points for the dumb story seems fine. Also the way Ubisoft handles interacting with the main villains is crazy stupid.
