shoc77 posted:Has anyone played Crypt of the Necrodancers before? It's, like, Audish/TSG's favorite game: https://goldplatedgames.com/2017/09/02/review-crypt-of-the-necrodancer/ To further amplify what's already been said: it's basically a perfect game. It's extremely not for everybody, but for people who it's for, it's totally flawless. It's hard as gently caress but if you keep at it there will be a point during almost every session where you are really flowing and the game hits a high that is real hard to find in any other game. And then you die and spend the next hour trying to get it again. So yeah, it's heroin.

Can’t believe all of the people complaining about the gameplay of a game where 80% of the time is spent cracking dudes in the head with a baseball bat. I guess I’m just a different kind of player.

I greatly enjoyed Y0's main plot and the cabaret minigame. Combat was fair-to-good, buoyed somewhat by the brutality of the heat actions (and the always amusing narrative dissonance of that brutality); I've enjoyed other beatemups more, but it was solid I honestly thought half the side-stories were kinda badly written and too unreal for me to suspend disbelief

The Joe Man posted:Literally the only reason I finished it is if a potentially later entry in the series isn't repetitive garbage and wouldn't miss out on any context. I like to play things in order too. Well, the latest entry in the series changed the combat system completely! It is now a turn-based JRPG, modeled on Dragoon Quest, because the new protagonist is a huge nerd. So, probably not moving in the direction you hoped. The Yakuza games have always been more RPG than action game, at heart, and now they're bringing that to the forefront.

Technically there's Judgement but I don't they ever talked about porting it to PC? Weirdly, I was sure 6 was also on Steam but checked just now and there's no news for 2 years or so.

StarkRavingMad posted:Yeah, I've been playing a bunch of it too. Getting data out of the unexplored lakes or trying to catch contract fish feels like a little puzzle in figuring out what the drat fish wants. It's also surprisingly pretty in motion given how simple the graphics are.  This looks terrible as a screenshot but in motion it was really cool to see those birds fly through as I was parked at this deep-water "hole" and fishing happily

I'm not always in the mood for a Yakuza game because I have a really hard time coming back to something halfway through, so I have to play the game all at once, but when I'm in that mood those games loving deliver.

The music is what makes the cabaret minigame work for me personally. I'd always get pumped when it kicks up a notch for turbo mode or whatever it was. Similarly, the music is what made me find most side stories super aggravating. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UXZ3cWCh1Es Fuckin kill my ears The soundtrack overall is great though.

I got a lot of love in my heart for an extremely content rich stupid game. I don’t always have time for them in my life, but sometimes getting really into the weeds with a dumbass hack and slash is what I need. Shouts out to Yakuza and Dynasty Warriors. Final Fantasy XV has been treating me well in that regard, too, and it seems like Nier Automata will serve the same role.

I'm in the middle of Y0 right now myself and add me to the "god the cabaret club sucks" crew. I may be a bit of an outlier because I'm... 76 hours in and only at chapter 11 due to going ham on all the goals and side games in Kiryu's half of the story. My biggest beef with the cabaret stuff versus the real estate (which I've already 100%ed) is that the cabaret is full attention at all times, especially in the club combats, but I can start the real estate collection and then go do other poo poo. Minigame multitasking. Cabaret brings my gameplay to a screeching halt 5-10 minutes at a time depending on how much prep and training I do before each run of the club. Again, though, this may be an OCD thing because I'm gaining on 80% done and the biggest remaining things for me right now are cabaret goals, fishing, and teaching myself to play mahjong/shogi. No Wave posted:I liked Y0's plot. I still can't remember why Kiryu was framed though At least where I'm at, dunno if this changes: It's a move by one of the other lieutenants to cause the disgrace and downfall of Kiryu's mentor so a captain's position can open up for them. \/\/ edit: you are not wrong and that real estate battle was infuriating claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Apr 29, 2020 |

Unless you just mean "easy to play" then you can customize it to make it extremely that. Like "press one button and the game literally plays itself" easy.

The base game isn't too super-hard once you understand what you have to do, but there's also a ton of additional gimmicks/characters to really add difficulty once you get through the basic run. I liked my time with it a lot, but that stuff was not for me! It was the first game my son beat before I did, in fact.

There's a difference between just doing the main/side stories and calling it done vs 100%'ing it. Y0 wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't filled with so many pointless cutscenes/wastes of time that add nothing other than bloat.

Calling Yakuza games repetitive garbage is certainly a take. e: like maybe if you just go through the story and never look at the upgrades and minigames or something.

My assumption is a limited slice of what Hellraid was originally going to be, given the DLC status and the arcade cabinet thing, but I'll still take it.
