How hard is Yakuza 0 on hard?

I don't think the fighting will be too tough does it affect minigames?

always play yakuza games with combat as easy as possible to prevent stress injury to the hand

We got some serious shit to discuss.

Play Yakuza games on Normal, unlock all the cool infinite ammo weapons, then stomp through the harder difficulties in NG+ and still get the trophies (except for Y0's Legend difficulty, but you have to beat the game once to unlock that anyway)

0 hasn't been too difficult with kiriyu's rush style, and majima's infinite use weapons trivializing every boss fight so far.

Destiny 2, meh. The only thing I will say is the bar is still pretty low for console MMOs. The Division couldn't even manage a raid.
Aren't the Incursions the Division version of a raid? They have 4 of those, I think.

I wonder if this time Bungie will manage to not gently caress up every aspect of their game that isn't directly related to being an fps. Every part of the mmo side of their mmo-fps was lousy and below mmo-genre standards and that should really be saying something.
The article I read a month or two ago made it sound like that they had actually played an MMO in the intervening time and aren't just guessing at how MMOs are designed again, are no longer using their rear end backwards Halo derived level editing toolset to build areas, and Activision is farming out content generation to their other studios Ubisoft-style. So at the very least it won't be totally devoid of content like Destiny 1 was. RIP to the people that want it to be less MMO like, though.

Pretty much all Division content is just shoot bullet sponges, calling any of it a raid is being pretty generous. More like slightly longer strikes.

They've been making it less and less MMO-like with every major update. At this point you can make a new character and reach max level just by playing through all of the single player content. The only old-school MMO-like poo poo in it is dealing with loot drops on raids which you don't even need to worry about unless you specifically want to play into that field of gameplay.

Lakbay posted:

I've been reading Rain World reviews at work since I'm a sucker for those types of games and I know some people in here were interested. The TL;DR of the reviews is its a gorgeous game but the clunky controls and overtuned difficulty (randomly placed predators and food sources; awkwardly placed save points) hamper the enjoyment

I don't see how that makes it less MMO like, what you said is true of pretty much every modern MMO

I don't play mmos much so maybe I'm wrong, but as I understand it they do the same thing of making reaching the level cap easier as they add new content and increase the numbers of everything

In another useless inane comment, it's possible to compare games.

Goons kind of have a tendency to want to assert the One True Game for every niche, and compare games even when they barely have anything to compare (HZD and Nier both have...Action?)

Better visuals has always been a huge reason to get a new console. Obviously lots of people agree with that based on PS4 sales.

sure, but for the people who don't agree that might be why they considered the ps4 launch line-up to be poor.

In that case, Destiny Year 1 was worse than Vanilla WoW so even that jump to modern MMO is an improvement.

What you don't want to pay $50-60 for a dumb minigame that should be a pack-in or at best $10-20?
