I finally pulled myself away from my monster hunter hole to start Yakuza 0 and it's remarkable that this plays and looks better than a PS2 game...really turning around my opinion on the series in a major way

ps2 yakuza is a bad intro to the series now that there are solid remakes of both 1 and 2

the only reason to play yakuza 1 is for mark hamill as majima

Yeah i played Yakuza 1/2 before 5 was localized and they left a bad taste in my mouth so I never tried the series again. BUt now I wanna play 0/K1/K2/3/4/5/6, i hope they all come to PC.

I mostly thought it was funny to talk about a modern release in a long running franchise not playing like its earlier releases, and having this revelation after playing monhun.

MHW plays a lot like every other MH game though. They just put all the wiki info directly into the game for that one.

Ehhhh, it's one thing if we're talking about "Old games" but this seems like it's leading into a bigger thing about abolishing gaming consoles entirely which...I don't think you'll see any of the big three relenting to any time soon. Like do you really think the whole "Microsoft games day and date on PC and One" thing would have ever happened if they weren't in the position they were in this gen?

The difference between video games and a movie is that watching a movie in 1895 is the same as watching a movie in 2018, whereas even one decade or hell 5 years of gaming can produced half a dozen different pieces of hardware

I also don't like Cifaldi's repeated rhetoric and comparisons to film preservation when an enormous amount of film history is lost to the ages, or inaccessible in the US (swap in whatever domestic market comparison as needed) in any legal sense. When you want to watch Hollywood dogshit from a bargain bin of course that stuff is available for 4 dollars at a Shop Rite but it's always been a comparison that's rubbed me the wrong way.

This is because the major film studios have generally agreed that a unified format/platforms for their products were in their best interests, while their counterparts in games did not

I'm talking about controllers more than the boxes themselves, which are just computers and can play basically anything if programmed to do so.

Oh poo poo I forgot it was console exclusive, I was thinking of max Payne 3. How were there many hackers on console back then?

The 360 had lots of hackers, MW2 was a minefield in particular in my memory. People could derank you by just being in your lobby. Or people hosted Achievement Rooms that just gave you 1000 points for joining

I was feeling down on MH bc I kept trying to farm Savage Jho and failing and after a few days of just needing one more kill to finish my set I decided to just join a turns room and blow off some steam, and the group was firing on all cylinders and just crushing hunts left and right and i wound up playing for hours again...god drat I love this game. I got them to help me finish the set and now I'm sucked back in forever

There was a period of time recently where every Morning Talk Show had teens coming on to teach the hosts how to floss and explain what Fortnite is. I see these videos in cabs all the time

PUGB's short reign is over. It was fun but it's become a mess of a game and between Fortnite, COD Blackout, and the slow porting to PS4, its playerbase won't recover unless they do some crazy shake-up that isn't on their current roadmap.

if i decide to grab a game for eight bucks should i get geometry wars 3 or resident evil 0

i like arcade shooters and classic re but i still have plenty of stuff to do replaying REmake and re2 and i do still have re3 and cvx to play so i might go with gw3 instead

I liked RE0 more than GW3

Same but man RE0 is like the exact point where Capcom clearly lost what direction to take Resisnet Evil and it’s story until the RE4 reboot Zombie leeches bring back a murdered old man and turn him into a young anime heart throb in flowing white robes who controls them via opera

It's not any worse than Code Veronica

I guess Resident Evil is on sale this weekend, I bought Operation Racoon City for a laugh and downloaded some mods for 5, which should be fun enough. I'm still waiting on RE7 VR support to come to PC, although I know that'll probably never happen.

Thanks for the heads up, I've been meaning to pick up REmake on PC to try the randomizer mods.
