Re: What are you currently playing?

So I'm stepping out of my usual bubble/box/plastic bag lately; sure, I'm still playing Yakuza 6 and all, but after I tried out that game Blue Reflection and found that it actually wasn't making me gag (it's so goddamn girly, and yet relaxing ), I got the urge to try something else with a very simil...

Re: Yakuza series

Started the game, but I'm nowhere near what one might consider "far"; I'm hours in, and I'm still at the "find Akiyama" stage of the opening chapter. :lol: The reason being that everything feels so open and atmospheric now, that I find myself just wandering, exploring the interi...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

I know there was a poorly-received HD version released last gen (I have it), but this shit still gets me excited as hell. ZOE2 remains one of my favorite games to this day, and as long as there's nothing technically-wonky with the new release, this really does look like the game being brought up to...

Re: Recent Gaming Purchases

Also got Shadow of Rome (PS2) off my brother. This game is just amazing as well. Such a fun cinematic experience from Capcom (the Onimusha devs made this and you can tell). I'm a good few hours into the game now and honestly feel like this has got to be one of the most underrated Capcom games of al...

Re: Yakuza series

Finally finished Yakuza 5. Once I forged past all the idol bullshit, it was smooth enough sailing. Not just that, but this fucker Tatsuo Shinada? Without a doubt, one of my favorite characters in the whole series. His whole scenario is pretty great. I suppose it's not exactly the most action-packed...

Re: Yakuza series

:-s I think that's a mistranslation or a typo or something. Can't be sure about 3, 4, Dead Souls, and Kenzan (though it seems obvious enough), but at the very least Y5 was definitely running on a new engine. I remember distinctly having discussions about the changes the new engine brought to the tab...

Re: Yakuza series

Anyone here ever see that Yakuza movie that Takashi Miike directed like, 10 years ago? It's got its positive points (Goro Kishitani as Majima), but otherwise disappointing. Especially from a director like Miike. Yeah, saw that a ways back. Like you said, best thing about it is probably the guy play...

Re: Yakuza series

I guess a lot of it depends on how prepared you are (I had a lot of health drinks and a gun or two in reserve on me at all times), but mostly I'd just say to switch to Rush style and do your best to dodge while keeping them knocked to the ground. Might be annoying to keep switching styles, but mayb...

Re: Yakuza series

Never much cared for the batting cages in other Yakuza games, but it's pretty great in Y5 when playing as Shinada, with its hit positioning, the use of all four face buttons, the fact that your skills level up, etc. So much better than the simplistic "hit circle at the right moment" batti...

Re: Sega Genesis/Megadrive Classics

They can still make money off of Monster World IV individually as a digital release, so I wasn't all that surprised about its exclusion. What I really am surprised by is the fact that, after all these generations and various Genesis/Megadrive collection releases, they've still never included Ranger...

Re: Yakuza series

Yeah I am terrified to play Y5 now... THANKS OL :lol: Could I realistically just skip to 6? My damn 40 gig PS3 fat has prevented me from playing Y5 since it came out, and with the way OL has described certain parts of the years, I havent had the motivation to even try to rectify the situation. Just...

Re: Yakuza series

I don't think it's all that extreme, really. Draw a line straight down from the parent, and that's usually where kids end up. Nice, religious, non-confrontational parents typically breed nice, religious, non-confrontational children. Thing is, lessons from people like that are straightforward and e...

Re: Yakuza series

^^I understand the notion that she seems a bit sullied by this, but that's only if you take it at face value. At face value , it makes it sound like she's been fucking around a bit. And that idea, without context, sounds really weird when you're talking about the baby-faced, super-responsible, gag-...

Re: Yakuza series

Yeah, the thing about Haruka having a kid kind of weirds me out too. Could be wrong, but I feel like there's gotta be some kind of twist about it; stuff rarely seems to be that straightforward in this series. Should be able to get into it soon myself, so I guess I'll see. It's just weird thinking o...
