Sure, but that's after killing them 13 times. I think all enemies have a respawn limit of 12 which resets when you move up NG+ (or use a bonfire aesthetic). That's a lot of kills...

it's a lot of kills, but it's also a lot of opportunities to find one enemy's drops so you can cosplay as them and stand in their place when you get invaded

I have so many feelings about yakuza 7

One of the things I liked the most about 6 was the sidegame where you become a regular at a bar and make friends. The writing and atmosphere just reminded me of the best times I've had in cities doing that same thing in the best way. Yakuza 7 takes that feeling and infuses it into everything. It's just so god drat delightful.

Also I just unlocked the "Regular Hangout" bar in Yakuza 7 where you can also start a garden lol, this game might be good?

Kinda funny how even though story structure and gameplay aren't necessarily linked, It seems like when they switched to a JRPG they're also showing influence from Persona, what with the "case" structure where you meet a new cast of characters that are the setup for the big dungeon but it also points towards the larger story arc?

Another bit of history translated into English.

    Remote Control Dandy is a 1999 mecha action game by Human Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation. In a major departure from most mecha games, it hearkens back to giant robot shows of the ’50s and ’60s such as Tetsujin 28-gou, in which the robots, rather than containing a human pilot, are controlled from afar via remote. The game adopts this as its core mechanic: not only does the player have to contend with remotely navigating their robot in the manner of an RC car, but also personally run after it to keep it in sight, all while not getting stepped on by enemy robots.

You can definitely see the early Earth Defense Force DNA (this was Sandlot's first game)

Not sure about this. It's listed as their first game on Wikipedia, but that page also says they were founded in 2001, two years later. Maybe they somehow hadn't formalized their independence from Human?

Though regardless, there's a continuity in the people involved.

From one of the patch creators:

    Though the game was nominally developed and published by Human Entertainment (known for the Clock Tower and Fire Pro Wrestling series), Human went bankrupt a few months after its release, with almost all of the game's key staff members subsequently founding the game studio Sandlot and going on to develop the successful Earth Defense Force series. Thus, Remote Control Dandy is essentially the first Sandlot game; it bears all the hallmarks of their unique brand of outsize destruction, and it's received the occasional nod or oblique reference in their later games. Particularly, the 2002 game Robot Alchemic Drive is essentially a spiritual sequel to this one – and Sandlot would even go on to make an actual Tetsujin 28-gou game!

Danganronpa Chapter 6:

Awww Kyoko never gonna get to make up with her Papa :(

Ugh they're really pushing the whole 'there's more than one Ultimate Despair' thing which means my Mukuro is the mastermind theory is bunk

It's Junko! You can't see her face in the group photo because Junko wasn't Junko! Junko was Mukuro the whole time which explains why the corpse had the tattoo and the real Junko is someone else entirely! And evil! AAAAAAAAAAAA!

Is it bad that Junko was the character I most identified with at the start of the game? :ohdear:

Has any non-Hitman project from IO ever been good? I kinda respected the weird youtube video aesthetic they tried in Kane and Lynch 2 but that game was bascally awful in all respects.

edit: oh yeah, freedom fighters. I never actually played that but it certainly as more fans than K&L.
