PantsBandit posted:Surprised I haven't seen more Ishin discussion. I'm loving it. The town is gorgeous and it's very satisfying to occasionally slow to a walk and appreciate all the ambiance. I am super excited to play Ishin someday, but only yesterday did I beat Yakuza 0; I owned it for like two years after buying it on sale "because I heard it was good" but never started it, and drat it was incredible, I loved it. I did all the substories except for like 2 disco missions and the two final super bosses and ahh I probably will pass on them. I'll leave it installed for a bit and think about it. It was super cool to walk around the cities and look at stuff and I'm glad Ishin sounds just as interesting to walk around. Since all the other mainline Yakuza games were on sale in like the past month I uhh... bought them all ....  (Like a Dragon/Judgement/Ishin some other day/year). I will have to do something else in-between installments.Kiryu was great but Majima is my boy and I'm sad to learn you don't play as him in other games, I think he had the stronger storyline in Y0. A good bittersweet ending.

imhotep posted:yeah he left a while ago. im pretty sure he's making himself look worse as a bit for that youtube video series, he looks much better on his twitch streams. This game was wild and I have no idea why they never let you rotate the camera. I liked exploring and finding caves or weird other landmarks; once you were able to kill a mammoth it didnt take too long to beat. Now I want Sony to put that up with the other PS1 games theyve been re-releasing!

Goons were right about 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, I had a great time with it over an initial hump. First two to three hours I was thinking "I'd rather be reading a book" but the nonlinear storytelling and reveals were very cool and it really sucked me in; I switched characters to try to keep their percentage complete around the same, though sometimes I stuck with one until it locked me because I HAD TO KNOW! It was like a mystery box show, but I'm glad everything gets revealed/explained. Though even now it is still hard to wrap my head around some stuff, but I did 100% the three sections of the game. Also very happy you can't really miss anything, I hate games that keep stuff behind more than one playthrough, particularly when it's a long game. The battles were pretty neat too. I played on normal and it wasnt hard unless I brought the wrong people, until near the end, but I enjoyed it. I would've preferred sprites of the units instead of the icons for the battles but a minor complaint. I'm not sure visual novels are for me but I sometimes like playing weird games out of my normal zone and I'm glad I played this one, it was great, thank you goons. A novel I enjoyed (and a fav of The Book Barn) that came to mind when I was playing the game, that has a time loop in it, is The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August https://www.amazon.com/First-Fifteen-Lives-Harry-August-ebook/dp/B00ECE9OD4 if you liked that idea in the game maybe check out this book, it's great too.

negativeneil posted:Xenogears Remake is my personal white whale. I don't think it'll ever happen though. The REAL Goobusters posted:Never say never I say. With all these remasters and remakes of the most obscure games, I could see it. Like wtf live a live got one. Like how tf I think it's gone from never to possible in just the last few years. I hope for at least, if not a remake, a re-release for modern systems.

FireWorksWell posted:About ten minutes in and while you can tell it's 30fps it's smooth so far, and it's great to have John back. Way happier with this than if they'd had gone the GTA Definitive route. univbee posted:Digital Foundry has a video up about the game, too. It's slightly better than the Xbox 4K BC version but not by much. This sounds great to me, I'm so glad I have a way to play it that isn't pulling out my old 360.

Dewgy posted:It’s one of those rare games where the back half is way more fun than the front. Also the secret post-ending ending is a total hoot. That secret ending! A good tease, I wanted a sequel. I had a good time with the game and I'd like to go back for a replay some day, not something I do often.

fridge corn posted:Cold Steel 1 and 2 seem to go on sale more often and for cheaper which is what made my decision to play then first lol I started with Cold Steel and it was fine. Yeah there was some confusion when the characters from other games showed up and talked about events in those games but it was minimal and knowing “hey these are the protagonists from other trails games” was enough to have fun with it.

VG posted:I really need to continue my Yakuza journey. I finished Kiwami 1 a week ago and felt it was a big step down from Y0 after the initial thrill of seeing these characters I came to care about again. I’m hoping I have a better time with Kiwami 2, the better game engine makes it look good

I liked Weird West a lot but it definitely needs a sequel to really flesh out all its systems, the game is a little rough but a good foundation to build on.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Looking back I don't think the PS4 price ever really dropped, either because they released newer models at the same price or because of COVID wonkiness. Weird times. Sort of a reminder of how these machines are almost always sold at a loss, some more than others, and that the days of brand new $99 PSone's or Gamecubes are never EVER coming back. Wasn’t a real price drop but I got a heck of a Black Friday deal of a PS4 slim with Spider-Man bundle for $199, alas will we ever see such a deal again ~~~

History Comes Inside! posted:Honestly I won’t miss physical much when it’s gone because I already have Too Much Plastic Bullshit cluttering up my life I understand this sentiment exactly as I've preferred digital for things like books/tv/games to reduce clutter, but streaming for TV/movies sucks when there's specific stuff I want to watch (usually older stuff) and it's just not streaming anywhere. I can easily see some stuff being lost for ages because there's no more physical media for it and the streaming gods decide it's not worth the fees to carry it. I'm not one for  so if something obscure cant be found on youtube im just out of luck

mysterious frankie posted:Weird West is pretty good so far! I'm not looking forward to changing characters though. I'm getting attached to the starting bounty hunter lady. Just FYI when you switch to a new character, you can recruit the previous one and they will have all the inventory still on them - it doesnt transfer, except if you store stuff on a horse or in a bank deposit box. This is true for everyone except the last character, who cant recruit the previous ones which was frustrating losing my good weapons. I liked Weird West but I hope it gets a sequel to really flesh stuff out.

veni veni veni posted:Best open world maps/worlds. Keep in mind this is not a judgement of the overall game just the map and how it functions. visually, mechically, variety etc. Also not including games that are sort of open world, like any game with open worldish "regions" like Metro, Borderlands etc. true for all the games on this list ive played

No give me Days Gone but with Wolverine, but make the zombies all robots because my original frame of reference for the character was the 90s cartoon where Wolverine was only allowed to hurt robots, never people.

wash bucket posted:Aight, FF7 it is then. FF7 Remake is a delight, and I played Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen a couple weeks ago and while the game is good, it was not good early on, it was super rough and I almost dropped it early. I'm glad I played it but if I had a PS5 or a PC that could handle DD2 I wouldve waited.

Wolfsheim posted:Hey this thread loves JRPGs right Only play DQ11 first, maybe the others after if you want more, but they are older and they feel it. DQ11 is fantastic and has many great quality of life improvements over the older games. And I agree DQ looks generic, and I'd think maybe the story is if you're only considering the large plot beats; but it is done so well, it does the story better than most of its influences. Augus posted:Yes, DQ11 is extremely good biceps crimes posted:DQ11 would be a really good entry point for someone new to and curious about the series imo History Comes Inside! posted:Play DQ11 and don’t listen to the freaks who call act 3 an optional postgame, they are wrong it’s the rest of the game. Quantum of Phallus posted:DQ11 ftw JBP posted:I enjoyed DQ11 a lot. Super chill game you could play in bite sized chunks. I never finished it though. It kept rolling credits and starting a new story. The people agree!

veni veni veni posted:Dragon's Dogma has to be one of the weirdest video games series to ever exist. So many of the design decisions are just flat out baffling. With the first game I chalked a lot of it up to developers that had never made any sort of western style rpg throwing poo poo at the wall to see what stuck. But DD2, despite being much bigger and better looking basically adds zero QOL stuff to the original. I have to think that most of these ridiculous things are in fact, very much by design. But in so many ways it feels like something made by an insane person. The level of inconvenience the game can throw at you is almost unmatched. But also like the first one I'm addicted as hell and can't stop playing it I will play DD2 someday but after playing DD1 Dark Arisen I have a hard time imagining playing without a permanent teleporting Ferrystone like they give you in Dark Arisen. I was hoping theyd add horses or something, or at least make it so you dont lose stamina running when not in battle, which I guess they havent.
