ImpAtom posted:RE6 is a good core game tied to bad level design. Yeah the gameplay itself is fun when it isn't tied to a Bad Setpiece Torture Rack I would say the price of a used disc is worth it just for Mercenaries

Should I start at the beginning of the Yakuza series or jump to a particular game and just watch a story synopsis or something?

Welp OK I'm gonna do it; I'm gonna play all the Yakuza games (that have been localized) First game; few hours in: It's aged pretty well in terms of looks- it kind of cheats in the city scenes by putting this weird blurry filter over everything so you can't tell how low-poly things are in general but it winds up giving the game kind of a unique look. Fighting gameplay is simple but good enough brawling and trying to set up Heat Moves has not gotten old yet This is one with an English dub and it's bad in places but amusingly so. Doesn't really bother me. You have this quasi-open-world design thing going on but in a good way where actual Things To Do are densely packed into a relatively small area that feels alive with activity. Lots of personality in the environment. The JRPG-style random thug encounters on the street have not become annoying yet- don't know how fast it loaded on the original hardware but I'm emulating off of an SSD so the load times are veeeery minor annoyances. I'm really enjoying the game so far!

Yeah I wish the HD ports came out here- eh we'll see how it goes. If I just get totally burned out on the combat I can watch the cutscenes on YouTube or something and play the later ones. I am super charmed by the whole experience so far though

Yakuza has that satisfying "overconfident trash mob mook" thing going on Hey bitch I'm going to kick your rear end!!! Yes you the protagonist of this game and me a faceless thug guy I see this going so well for me I am going to repeatedly taunt you before you smash a bicycle over my head!!!! You'd think word would eventually get around about the guy handing out beatings in all the JRPG-style thug encounters all over town

Guy Mann posted:No, people understand that just fine. It's just that mock threads are unilaterally terrible because once they burn through the handful of actual funny things to mock it becomes a bunch of people stalking and harassing everyone involved with the thing they're mocking in between reciting the same handful of "jokes" over and over in increasingly humorless and angry tones. Yeah this seems about right- things are genuinely funny at first because people are spending thousands of dollars on spaceships that may or may not ever exist and insisting that THE GAME IS COMING OUT AND WILL BE THE BEST THING EVER and Gary Oldman looks like he's making a duckface in CG and oh man ha ha what dorky fake space videogame weirdo folly doth proceed in this sphere but then yeah you kind of run out of things to say eventually; just how things are

So apparently in Yakuza: Kiwami (Yakuza 1 remake) Majima can just sort of pop up anywhere and attack you. Dressed as a police officer, driving the cab you're in, hiding under a giant traffic cone, popping out of a sewer, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPC4R0dIQ6A The more I learn about this series the more I love it

In the video Game Super Mario Bros you Play the Role of Mario, a plumber who must save the princess from a giant evil turtle who has multiple boss forms and sits at the end of a dungeon "you fool" he says "this isn't even my final form" then he starts throwing hammers at you and puts a block at the top of the room to make it harder for you to jump over him and touch the little axe thing SMB: The First JRPG

I just think 4e's combat system would make a neato little SRPG is all 4e itself is kinda restrictive as an actual D&D game; simplicity for the sake of streamlining and all that

Home sick all weekend so I made it through Yakuza 1. It gets a little more janky towards the end of the game with some of the enemy types (the kung-fu guys that flip all over the place and the guys with guns are just super annoying) but I'm glad I saw it through. I'm disappointed I didn't see more of the crazy eyepatch guy. Also started Yakuza 2- the controls during fighting feel tighter somehow. It's also way easier to line up heat move since it seems to be a lot less specific about where you need to be to start one up. Translation seems a lot more natural in this one as well- I guess it would have been nice if they would have given English voice acting another shot (it's really bad in the first game) but subs are fine for me. Also not sure if it's the emulator or what but they seem to have really gone nuts with the Soap Opera Filter in this one in certain cutscenes

I went from an HD5750 to a 970 a while ago and also had to upgrade my CPU to actually be able to reel the drat thing all the way out I had a rough time fitting the huge MSI 970 in the case The old setup just basically not being able to run Witcher 3 was the final straw

Oh man it's real guys; for real There doesn't seem to be any weird control gimmick; appears to be just a traditional console with the ability to do on-the-go stuff I guess the one wrinkle is gonna be if there's any difference between the "console" and "handheld" versions of the games. Is all the hardware for the system contained in the little screen dealie or are devs going to need to consider two different hardware profiles when they're developing games?

I mean I don't really care too much about third party support on Nintendo consoles Unless it funnels more money into the big Nintendo Game Making Machine they've got in their basement; which I guess is true in which case I hope the Switch can actually attract an audience and a bunch of devs

I gotta say that the hardware looks intriguing but what I'm more excited for than anything are just more Nintendo games the Wii U sucked from a sales perspective but it had a lot of really great, unique games on it that nobody else in the industry seems to be making and you can really only get from Nintendo I love my Wii U

Man I dunno, this thing doesn't really seem like a true replacement for the 3DS. You can't just whip this huge thing out of a bag and play like you can with a more traditional handheld like the 3DS or the Vita

FirstAidKite posted:What is a porter, versus every other kind of word related to beer Ah Porters as well as Stouts are beers made with roasted malts, giving them a dark color and a mild-to-strong coffee/chocolate sorta character in addition to the regular ...beer-ey flavor good stuff but people who only like domestics may be kinda put off by them as they're pretty different I feel like wheat beers are good entry points into the Beer That Isn't Budweiser segment in general things with higher ABVs will have stronger flavors (although this isn't always true) so try and pick out a lower one if you don't want to get slapped with malt and hops Monkey Fracas fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Oct 20, 2016 |

FirstAidKite posted:How can I tell if something is a wheat beer? Also, what is ABV? Alcohol by volume? Yep, more booze/volume. You'll just have to ask what's a wheat beer and what isn't- I'm sure the bartender at a place like that would know. They've got a pretty mild flavor compared to a lot of other craft beers. By no means limit yourself to them though- if you're feeling saucy try an IPA, a typically pretty-hoppy high-ish ABV beer that almost every brewery makes at least one of one of due to their popularity. Or a Pale Ale, basically the little brother of the IPA in terms of hoppiness and typical ABV.
