I've been playing Yakuza 0 for a little over a week now and I will just say that I have played all the Western Yakuza games and this is definitely the most fun entry yet. As Sanders said earlier, the story is so-so (but still has the usual badass cinematics) but it's the most enjoyable to play. I thought I'd tire of fighting punks in the streets after so many games but all the little refinements and extras add a lot this time around. It's got almost a bulletstorm sorta feel to it and helps spice up the stream of encounters (which also seem a little more toned down than the older entries) I'm sure everyone who is a fan of the series is getting it already, but if you are on the fence you should go for it, it's good poo poo.

Makes sense Crash is coming out for Christmas to stop nostalgia seekers from picking up Switch and Mario. I'm still going to get Switch for Mario. Hopefully they make it a pack in for Holiday 2017.

i'm hell of ready for yakuza 0. i played 1 2 and 3 and then never got around to starting 4 so a prequel is perfect for refamiliarizing me with everyone. also 6 will be the best

I've been dipping into my backlog before the next rush of PS4 games starts in a couple weeks. I've been really enjoying Killing Floor 2. Couple of questions though for anyone here who's played/playing it: Is the community for it dead? I can get into full games sometimes but it seems uncommon to have a full 6 for PvE or a full 12 for PvP Is the PvP unbalanced? It seems like every time I'm on the Survivors side in PvE, we get dumpstered in the Boss round regardless of how many players are on the Zed side. Trophy stats look like it may be but maybe the groups I've played with are just garbage at it.

It's just a lovely approach from Nintendo that some people are desperate to lap up. It's like battered housewives

Well, in my city, it's because GameStop had it on sale for €38.99 and CEX were buying it back for €50 CASH so your boy Quantum of Phallus here bought three copies in GameStop and sold two to CEX. The next week, CEX were FULL of suspiciously new looking copies and had changed their trade in price to €24

Quantum of Phallus posted:Holy gently caress Yakuza 0 is out in less than 2 weeks 😳😳😳😳 no EU preorder but that's a day 1 purchase. It is a very fun game, so many sidestories and poo poo to do, even the 100% stuff is much better done (you earn Completion Points by accomplishing goals that would've normally got you nothing before, which you can spend to improve tertiary abilities like dashing speed or income). Bouncing between Goro and Kiryu is alright, though frankly I prefer having a single protagonist, and there's a phone club where Kiryu can go to get his dick wet. Then he can drive little pocket racers. Oh and like 90% of the substories end with some sappy music and Kiryu + his rescuee reminiscing about bonding over brotherhood or family or some other 'very special episode' nonsense which is great.

Nintendos free retro game for a month deal is the saddest thing I have read all day. Also the idea of N charging for multiplayer is just loving  I wanted to be excited for the Switch but it looks like it wont be worth buying for 5 year like every other Nintendo system.

I will say that there is a substory where you're trying to buy a porn magazine for child from a vending machine in a 'scary' alleyway, but have to play solid snake around gossipy women and your coworker who happen to be milling around. Then you tell the child to not hide it under the bed because...dramatic pause..."It's not as good of a hiding spot as you think." Also the kid doesn't know it's porn, he just wants it because the vending machine looks nice and it's in a bag, which means it must be special!

Those games were stupid hard and unfun, it's just the only options we had at the time. SNES games were not unfun at all, there's a big difference between NES games and SNES games. Just played through Earthbound again last year and it owned. Time to sell it for the $150 I can get for it though I think.

It's like battered housewives I haven't bought a nintendo console... well, ever, went sega master system -> turbografix -> genesis -> playstations, but I really want to get a switch, think it could be a tonne of fun, and it's pretty cheap. It all hinges on if the online store carries turbo grafix games, like the WiiU has. If so, it's a day one purchase for me. Terrible reason, but what the heck, it's only money.

Wow. I guess GR2 is about 25-40 hours. I was expecting much less. Also, Easy Allies said it was pretty top notch 4.5/5. That part isn't super surprising though to me.

Good to know they liked it, their reviews generally align with my feelings. Though I think it's going to be a pretty divisive game, all in all.

Switch looks cool, already preordered mine. It's smart that Nintendo's conceding the touchscreen and console itself to the tablet design that they can't really beat and making a strategic retreat into the controllers. And those controllers do look really well designed. Full disclosure on all Nintendo opinions: I own a DSi

As a system I like it, but that launch sounds beyond barren. The only thing I'm interested in is Zelda which is getting a Wii U release. All of the controllers and extra stuff is super over priced...I'm feeling a lot less excited about it than I was a weeks ago.

the pro controller is about the price of a ps4/xbox controller and the switch itself comes with everything else you need (the pad, the dock, the 2 baby controllers) idk, the price seems fine to me for a midway between a handheld and a home console. if you're coming at it from the angle of a pure home console, maybe it's not worth it. but for me the switch is an upgrade to my 3ds/vita that can also work as a vita tv. the launch lineup sans zelda seems pretty dire tho for sure, unless they've announced more since last night's stream. I'd hope it would at least have a selection of current gen ports available at launch. if not then I don't see a reason to adopt early unless you're way into zelda, but I definitely am gonna buy one and it'll probably be this year
