Action Tortoise posted:There's an article about a journalist gathering a bunch of Yakuza to play it and wrote down their thoughts. Great article, thanks for sharing. Loved the part where they are all basically in love with the journalist to the point where one is like hey don't say that name it's offensive. And then they rag on him for being in the Jewish CIA.

I was watching the movies from the Legacy of Kain games and I remember being a little edgelord in the 90s getting my little hands on Soul Reaver. It wasn't until after Blood Omen 2 that I even realized there was a Blood Omen 1. That whole series is such glorious melodrama.

That's what happened? I got into the existential stuff but didn't really understand anything about why he was there or how he got there. Content: The kills in the Friday the 13th game are appropriately brutal but I like the little touches that make them just feel mean. Like Jason takes you out and then for no reason steps off your face while walking off or gives you a shove to get off his weapon as if you are just a nuisance in his way.

I just got into Yakuza 0 after watching some LPs. I spent an entire night going to karaoke, destroying the claw machine and topping my high score in1980s arcade racing games. Not once did I feel like i was wasting my time.

What was up with Troy's VA as Ocelot? Did he just not wanna try for sounding like the old character or did the voice director say just be yourself? Because the dude HAS range.

They all seem to go for grimdark "everything you did was for naught, thanks for playing" bullshit. I think Primal had a pretty decent ending at least straight forward enough. None of this you were the monster all along, or hey all the good guys were actually bad crap. Tribe continues - the end.

This is nuts, but a few pages back people started talking about Yakuza and I was actually on my way here to type something up for 6 lol. I love being able to throw people and they interact with items in the background making it more brutal like when I throw them through a window or into a bike rack.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild This game is of course the Little Things masterpiece. I was just trying to get to a temple and this lady decided it was the best place for her flower maze. I tried to get through it 3 times and finally decided it had to go. I didn't actually think it would result in this amazing shot. She looks like a villain from Battle Royale.

The tweets in Spiderman are so good. One of my favorites are these three or four guys talking about lifting weights and Spider-Man chiming in to their delight. The best part are their screen names. Winners like Brosidon, Broseph and other suchs.

Queen Combat posted:I want to get one of these newfangled consoles to play, specifically the PS4 because Horizon Zero Dawn is a game that I must own (even if it's not that great, see ME3). What order do the Yakuza games go in? I'm so damned confused with the numbering and release dates. Yakuza 0, Kakuza Kiwami, Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 6 are all PS4. I've heard they are gonna redo the other ones as well. Bonus: Fist of the North Star.

In Devil May Cry 5 each character has different taunts depending on what style rank you currently have. For example Nero will play air guitar with actual music coming out. Cool cool. Hot goth new boy will conduct an invisible symphony to play Ride of the Valkyries.

My favorite thing about Sekiro is how it's centered around making each fight look cool. If you parry even half decent you can end up looking like a really great action movie. There is this one boss fight where he will attack you maybe 10 times in a row. If you parry each shot you will both be flung back to a starting position in your katas. It's awesome.

I like both types of games. Beating something like Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3 makes me just feel good about myself. Same with beating RE2 Remake on Hardcore twice and getting all the secret weapons. But I also love playing games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate where people go on about how what you are doing is not normal in their world and it's really amazing even if it feels effortless from your end. Which is how people like that are in real life. Some people can do some amazing things that are effortless for them but really hard for others. One of my favorite examples is the Witcher series where past missions will come up almost as a title like holy poo poo that's the guy that took down a god drat wyvern.

My son has been getting into the old sonic games and it's been fun kinda telling him how things were different when I was a kid. Like I'll use WEMOD to help him get through 99 percent of games and then explain to him how I never beat certain games until recently because unless you had both the game genie/gameshark and the code books you couldn't use cheat codes. And these games were designed to not only be hard but to make you start all the way over so you could get all the way to the end and then end up back at green hill zone and that's kinda it for that session. It's kinda wild how different it is for him than it was for me in like '92. I remember going to video game stores and writing down codes from books I couldn't afford or straight up tearing out pages because we didn't have the internet until like '96.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for Shadow Hearts on the PS2. I used to rent that game all the time. I just really dug the time period, the location, the violence, the gameplay. It's so unique and I don't think I've seen an RPG quite like it still.

A little detail I always enjoyed is your castle base for wolf school witchers in Witcher 1 and 3. In a lot of games that go back to old locations they change it quite a bit and you have to pretend it looked like that. I'm thinking of the jedi conclave in SWTOR or the remnants of the hero guild in Fable 2. They don't match up at all. But the castle in witcher 3 is exactly how you left it in Witcher 1. To the point where if you played the game you already know where certain rooms are and how to get there.

Been playing through Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 again (gosh might be like the 50th time I've played through these games since 98) and there is something timeless about this series. I like how the first game is not about saving the world but about dealing with a regional issue. And the 2nd game is about dealing with a personal issue where you aren't even the target rather your very specific heritage. And the villains ultimate goal won't destroy the world but he is on his own quest of revenge. I love these games.

In Baldur's Gate 3 you can use a spell to speak to dead. But if you killed the person you try to use the spell on their spirit won't speak to you because they are mad you killed them. So what you do is use the disguise self spell and make yourself look like someone else and then use the spell and now they will.

Bane answered instead because Gortash was busy getting his soul turned inside out for failing him. Oh gently caress! I gotta try that next time.

Two Best Friends Play playing every single David Cage game and breaking down why they make no sense are about as thorough of an in depth analysis as you can get as to why he's such a terrible writer. That studio would make better games without him but also it's his studio so it will never happen.

Hirayuki posted:Yeah, Jeremy Blaustein did the voiced stuff and I did the unvoiced--and the song lyrics. There were a couple of bits of flavor text that got added at some point that Jeremy handled, but otherwise, it was me. I was only 24 at the time, so I guess I still had a good handle on a teen girl's voice. holy poo poo awesome job. That game rules. I love Heather's characterization in the game. She is like this perfect balance of snarky teen, but also kinda dumb, and less scared and more pissed off which fits her arc through the game.
