Yeah the only no win they had was in the first game and it was choose what's her face or what's his face to die and frankly I really see that one as more of a win win

Yakuza definitely doesn't qualify as a crime series from a Western perspective because you can't do any loving crimes in it

And since that falls under fighting, it's clearly not illegal. I mean, police officers occasionally join you in that. Givin posted:The biggest Yakuza crime is there aren't 20 of them. Edit: seven spinoffs I think? The two historical games, the two Kurohyo games, Dead Souls, Fist of the North Star, Judgment. I guess I could count the mobile game too.

It's a bit of tug of war, I think, because game reviews like film reviews (even moreso tho) are very much caught up in the act of assessing a "worth your time/worth your money" trajectory within their line of criticism. There are definitely people doing great game criticism out there (Tim Rogers, Super Bunnyhop, Mathewmatosis, Errant Signal) mostly in video form which is fine, but they are usually doing it in more of a post-mortem way rather than a weekly release calendar "should I buy this?" way. Publications or channels that mix the two end up being kind of lovely and suspect, which is usually the case in film criticism, too, but that's why when you find the rare film critic that can recommend AND examine in detail you tend to follow that person forever (like when Scott Tobias was writing for The Dissolve  , or his The New Cult Canon series on AVclub that was extremely loving dope). Still, the history of videogame publications shilling to maintain their own secret promotional sidehustles is robust enough to warrant continued skepticism by videogame enthusiasts. Kilometers Davis posted:Hello my favorite thread. I’m going to sit out for the end of the PS4 (rip my beautiful og console u were fantastic and I have nothing bad to say about u) and then grab a PS5 at launch. Pivoting to my Switch as my main console until then. I’m still going to lurk and pop in here every now and then. Not going to lie though the tlou2/Tsushima hype is gonna be tough. I am very much looking forward to playing them on my 5 in the future! I'll miss u, KD. Be safe this summer.

Schindler's List is indeed pretty crappy! Quantum Shart posted:The problem with this is that it relies solely on scored reviews. There is plenty of critical reviews that don't boil down the review to a number and so by using Metacritic you are getting a very sanitised opinion of the game. If they were so  critical then they should've given it a 1/10. Fuckin dum dums don't know how to use the internet

I don't recall if that's accurate since I haven't played it for a long time, but it sounds right. I played on hard and I finished it a weekend. The point is that there is more TLOU combat, but not more of the other stuff that made it good, so if you don't like the combat it might feel long. Google says TLOU is 12-16 hours so maybe you're just poo poo on any difficulty.

RareAcumen posted:Ohhhhh, now I get what you're talking about. That seems to happen most often with Diablo-like games (I genuinely don't know what to call that genre) I think Path of Exile is the example that comes up a lot in in the PYF annoying things in games thread. Or maybe it was Grim Dawn? A game that asks you to put points into skills but don't really balance it too well like those or Deus Ex Human Evolution. It can definitely be true for really stat based genres like Diablo, and I agree that it sucks and is lazy, although I sort of had something else in mind. It's probably funny that even though I call it bad game design (which it is), most of the examples that spring to mind for me are actually from games I like. But some of the stuff I think of are things like when I was doing a second play through of Metro Last Light. Which to be clear is a game I love. I think I was doing it on ranger hardcore. and as anyone who has played metro know the series kind of skips to different structures, where sometimes it's fairly open and you get to do things at your own pace, but then it'll force you forward and it becomes super linear and you can't back track more than 10 feet. I hit a situation that I deemed physically impossible due to my inventory after like 20 tries, and after doing an inventory of what I'd actually need to do to complete the part. I realized it would involve losing hours of gameplay and I ultimately just flat out quit the play through when it was 80% done. No game should ever be designed like that. There's probably more gray area in something like early Resident Evil games. I don't think I ever hit a point where I wasn't able to proceed in any of them but I am sure it's possible. There is trial and error/reloading built into the design though. Also with games like XCOM potential failure is built in so maybe it's not totally black and white. I just don't think for the most part any game should let you ever hit a point where you can't proceed. Even if it's super hard to proceed because of bad inventory management or whatever it should almost never be a dead end imo. TLOU on the hardest difficulties is very good at realizing you've hit an un-winnable situation and slowly doling out a bullet or two to make it possible to finish if you stick with it which I think is pretty brilliant.

I don't agree that Schindler's list was crappy, but it is funny how much people have mangled that quote into something that it's not at all. The comparison is ultimately there to call the game unpleasant but worthwhile, but of course people just twist it into "this is the game equivalent of Schindler's list via quality" which was clearly not the writer's intention if you bother to read even one sentence of it.

Play all of them in that order but swap Death Stranding with nier so you can buffer the really long ones with shorter ones. Dark Souls 3 though.

Will be happy when CDP announces a PS5 Witcher 3 remaster, provided they fix movement feel, and overhaul the inventory ui. How can a game with a major focus on alchemical brewing, have such awful interfaces for crafting and consumables ? (CD Projekt were smart to lend Netflix the title trademark for the show. I turned the game on right after finishing the last episode.)
