ok finally done with yakuza kiwami
didn't do any more side missions, left the majima stuff half way through and went straight for the ending. sadly, it wraps up in a very unsatisfying way tho it was kind of unexpected since the story was kind of unexciting before too
overall a big disappointment given how good yakuza 0 was, kiwami is just kind of irredeemably uninspired, nothing about it comes close to matching 0 and the majima stuff is really awful and the story feels rushed and disconnected, i really didn't like this game
honestly i feel like i would've had a better time playing the ps2 original cos at least it would've been interesting to see a different looking and playing game, this is just copy paste of the worst kind
ugh, no, bad
also wtf at amazing grace being the credits song

It had over 105k on twitch when it released and it was non english speaking non big streamers. That's how interested people were apparently.
As I said before journalists who complain about Steam and visibility issues and cheering for Epic Store are big hypocrites. This is not first time this is happening. And yet indie developers say nothing except complaining about Steam.
Regarding Anthem, as I said in Review Thread I think that BioWare has big issues and that in their case EA is not one to blame. This is second game in a row for them that was in development for 5+ years that wasn't ready for release. Even if EA gave themnyeae or two more I don't think that they would be ready. Something is wrong with production at BioWare and unfortunately EA had to say "release it" at one point.
Why "was", I still abusing it!
What? Do you want me to spam my screens here to prove your point that SotTR is a gorgeous game? I'll do that regardless though:
That's really cool video
I've tolerated many broken, ugly ass games, but I couldn't play JC4 in its current state for more than 1 hour. Wait for patches and all DLCs.
Would this allow the client to be able to sync with a gog account and match games so that community elements can be used with that game if run thru steam?
No. If the tweet is correct it just lets your Steam client (once it gets the overhaul) pull and display information such as: Release date, languages, categories, genres, etc... Like the tweet says.
I doubt, Valve even removed option to see screenshots from non-Steam games on your feed. But I would love to see option to manually link those shortcuts to Steam entries in library.
That was big issue for me for example when I played AC1 and wanted to use guide for the flags. And I couldn't just go to guides like you can with games bought on Steam.
Oh that's cool I guess.
Stingy Volvo....
You can use the web browser with the steam interface (which is shitty but does the work).
I did that in the end but browsing internet in Big Picture mode was let's say not that great experience XD Especially if there are ads on page.
When people say stuff like this, they realize that Kiwami is just a "fancy" remaster of the very first game in the series right? The one most likely to be full of issues. While Yakuza 0 is one the newest games in the series which has had time and maturation of the series/developers to get better over time and improve in all kinds of ways?
People expect too much. You can't just bring a 14 year old game back from it's grave and expect it to line up with a game developed in today's environment.
... Or am I the weird one? o_o
It's legit in that they mostly get their keys from physical retail releases, but it's not a publisher authorised reseller. I've bought a couple of dozen things from them and never had a problem.
Great, Thanks! I wanted to pick up FFXV on pc and it was 10CAD cheaper on Cdkeys then on the square sale on steam, bought and got my key activated no problem.
Ethically gray area. They mostly seem to buy physical copies from regions where games are cheap, strip these of codes, and resell them. Not shady in the way G2A is, in other words. They have pretty decent support too.
I am ok with shades of grey, I once bought a pair of shoes from the back of a guys van in a walmart parking lot lol
I just recently played trough FFXV and I wish I have had discovered this Cindy mod way earlier.

Everytime I talked to her I was like "why does this mechanic dress like a fucking hooker?!"
Also runs great with DLSS at 4K
Gungrave VR looks so bad
Wish World of Final Fantasy wasn't capped to 30 fps, crazy in this day and age.

They can sometimes sell region locked/specific keys. The game's page will mention that so keep that in mind for future purchases.
Also buying thru paypal without logging in is fine as they send the key to the email linked to your paypal.
Man that mod is awesome, I am installing it, she actually looks like a mechanic now!, And yeah playing in 4k with DLSS and it looks super good! solid locked 60 on my 2080ti
You mean vidja games aren't just defined by the engine they use and the number of polygons of the character models?
My life has been a lie.
Mind you, gamedevs/publishers also rely on cheaper labour from other regions. There is nothing "ethically gray" about you buying from CDkeys. It's 100% fine.
Is referring to "verbs" and "nouns" as the actions you perform in a game and the themes of the game's world respectively a new trend in videogame critique, or has this been going on for a while now? I expanded my podcast horizons a while ago, and I keep hearing it on Waypoint, Crate and Crowbar, and Video Games Hot Dog. Never heard this terminology on Giant Bomb or 8-4, for example.
While this type of reactions are understandable it's also why I've been against the common advice of starting the series with 0. Zero offers so much, so finely put together that a PS2 remaster afterwards can be too much of an 'downgrade'.
I was similarly let down by Kiwami's ending, but otherwise yeah, game's alright and Yakuza. Also why I'd say the side stories are def worthwhile.
I think the verb thing comes from the old text adventure games where you literally had to type out verbs and objects.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_fiction
Which eventually evolved into selecting the words instead of typing them.
https://www.pcgamer.com/how-maniac-mansions-verb-object-interface-revolutionised-adventure-games/
GMTK has been intentionally pushing "verbs" for a while. First time I hear about "nouns" though, especially since your description seems at odds with what I understand to be the point of introducing "verbs" (not that I like either) - focus on making actions retargetable.
Ah, of course. That makes a lot of sense. Didn't even occur to me.
I might've misunderstood nouns. I think I heard it on Waypoint and/or Crate & Crowbar, but they don't really explain the use of that term, so I always try to infer its meaning based on the context.
Edit: tried looking it up and this is the best I could find in my short search
https://onlyagame.typepad.com/only_a_game/2005/11/a_game_design_g.html
So Nouns seem like the systemic components of a game, the "game objects", or (perhaps more simply put) the things that verbs are used with or applied to.
I guess talking about "verbs" and "nouns" simplifies discourse when everyone in the room knows what they mean, but it isn't as conducive to discussion on a forum.

Library filtering/sorting here we goooooooooooo
Nah. I went into it with this expectation and am having fun.
I probably have asked this and it was probably already asked but I'm asking again:
How crucial is the War of the Chosen Expansion for a first time playing XCOM 2? It's on sale on GMG. Currently watching Giant Bomb's Exquisite Corps feature and getting the itch for XCOM.

So it looks like that Halo will come to Switch before it comes back to PC XD

Might not even be announced this year so let's see.Man, that MS x Nintendo Partnership, it seems we will be all
Soon.
Lets see what they are bringin to PC too. Hopefully something not shitty, lol
It's not crucial at all, but it's probably the best xcom reboot content yet. It's an amazing game without and a masterpiece with it.
If you wanna play the game multiple times play it without expansion and then later with it.
If you only ever wanna play through the game once tho, you should definitely play it with the expansion or you'll miss out on an incredible experience.
If MS is announcing next gen this E3, they will announce that there. Or have a collab event MSxNintendo to announce the partnership. All this leaks now seems to me that the announcement is going to be soon.
