Necrothatcher posted:Am playing Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and fairly late game you head into the flooded subterranean area. Get to the bottom of that and... You're in a classic Castlevania aesthetic Drac's castle and a great version of Vampire Killer is playing. Badass. the DS castlevania's are pretty great, but Dawn of Sorrow is the best of 'em imo.

BioEnchanted posted:I like the sidestories in Blasphemous, like the skeleton lore, they are a bit predictable but overall charming like the gravedigger who buried his entire village, and when it was time for him to die there was no one left to bury him. I also like the weird tortures that people are forced to undergo that they seem to have convinced themselves that they deserve (because they can't accept that things may just be being fucky and it may not have an actual divine plan), like the boy who has an old man's face in his chest that seems to be leeching the age from his real face so that he looks like a child, or the one person who has swords stuck into their torso that they use to upgrade your health. blasphemous is literally Catholicism: the Game. like the sword lady is a pretty on-the-nose riff on mater dolorosa.  as someone who was raised in the church and lives in a place covered in medieval gothic churches, i highly appreciate the game's aesthetic.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:The endings of CP2077 are all stellar, especially the really bad ending, listening to the voicemails during the ending credits. see, the endings just didn’t really jive with me. i guess they’re faithful to source material and all, but the grimness felt a bit try-hard to me. And then the whole thing with Jackie at the end of act 1… still a blast to play and i loved the setting.

Veotax posted:Not out yet, they bumped the PC release up a month to get out of the way of Starfield, which isn't a concern on the PS5. Also I assume they can't just change a PS5 release date like they can on Steam, I assume Sony might be more strict than Valve. That or the PS5 version wasn't ready enough to push up. exquisite tea posted:It doesn't come out on PS5 until next month. ah yeah, i just noticed it in the store and didn't actually see if it was released yet. boo. still probably for the best, since i have things i have to do this month.

normally call-backs and tie-ins to other games in a franchise are so ham-fisted that they're really grating, but like a dragon gaiden's been pretty consistently hitting the sweet spot of "lol,, no way, i remember that!" and "oh poo poo who is that blue haired granny in osaka? could it be?" my big beef with the whole game is just that it's too drat short.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I think the trick is with the LAD games is that it more often makes sense to have callbacks and minor characters pop up again, because the whole premise of the games has always been very local; you're always coming back to the familiar streets of Kamurocho and other places, seeing them change a bit each time, in an almost episodic fashion. You can picture these characters running into each other again as they walk the same streets every day for years. yeah, for sure. but there's also a ton of ways it could have read as forced and hokey and for the most part, the LAD has been good at not letting them become that.

Last Celebration posted:It’s short for a modern Yakuza game, but tbh i found it refreshing that I could do nearly all the substories, the colosseum side story, and fight Amon in under forty hours. They should do Gaiden games more often imho, but maybe charge $45 for the next one. i got it on sale for about that much so yeah, the value feels right. I’m just greedy and want more.

credburn posted:Random encounters only work when the game offers a kind of abstraction. Something that looks as real as FF7R would feel weird if you couldn't see the enemy. If it's just some little sprite on a world map, there's tons of stuff you don't see and don't expect to see. One imagines your little sprite travels many miles in just one tile, and thus could encounter an enemy during that trek. or they just work because they always worked like that and it's part of the charm.

Hattie Masters posted:I completely agree with you here, and it kinda makes me sad that LAD has decided to go all in on being a goofy dragon quest, because simply put we have a lot of great turn based RPGs from a lot of sources, but nobody else is doing Yakuza. I'm really glad they did Ishin! And Gaiden because as much as I like LAD, it's just not the same as hitting people with every single bike in Tokyo yeah as much as i like lad, the brawler yakuzae > turn-based yakuzae

It is insanely hosed that Ichiban Kasuga has three unique jobs in LAD8 and not a single one has Essence of Bike Smash though. Almost as hosed up as Kiryu tripping balls and hallucinating, but not having a move where he hits them with the bike. yeah but i hate the stealth portions of the judgement games

I want a heat action where you shove a dude in a cab and pay the cabbie to drive him to a different city. or if the travel to nara at any point, a heat action where you stuff a dude’s pockets full of deer crackers and the local deer harass the thug until he breaks down crying.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The deer pile onto the guy trying to get at the biscuits, kicking up a big dustpile obfuscating everything, and when the deer disperse, he's just gone. lol but absolutely lmao because my wife bought a ton of deer senbei when we went to nara like 5 years ago and then was constantly chased by the deer while crying until i gave the crackers to other deer and kids who wanted to feed the deer. it's like the most realistic heat action possible.
