Crash is good.

The noise of Wumpa Fruit, spinning into enemies,Purra the Tiger. Hard as balls Gem Stages, Deathshead Platforms. The foreboding noise of nitro crates. Clancy Brown as Cortex.

Crash Team Racing.

Crash IS good.

Yeah I know but it might have been one of those ones where a lot of the stuff is for series veterans only and story beats don't hit so well if you're going in new. The reviews I've been seeing have been from first timers though so seems like that's not the case. Now I just have to wait for it to come back in stock on UK Amazon to order it. Keeps switching between available and unavailable by the time I get to checkout every time I've tried today.

Yakuza isn't so much about hard gameplay. There will be references but it's all about atmosphere and setting. I'm hoping that the disc version is not like Yakuza 5,that had horrendous load times on disc compared to digital

Seems like COD and BF still think they are invincible but they will get burned soon by games with superior DLC strategies.

They don't care. Titanfall 2 is the better game but it's borderline dead on PC and sparsely populated on console. It actually lacks new maps and premium dlc content like pretty titan skins or voices.

I've had evenings in Germany/EU with 800 players in Titanfall 2

And every game mode except attrition are dead even on ps4. Cause nobody plays them because nobody queues for it.

Meanwhile BF1 has 40k players on peak times.

It's... Yeah. It's fine I guess. It works. The support is there. But releasing Titanfall 2 next to BF1 was insane, and now the game still only has one map patched and maybe 5 pieces of cosmetics. They don't even have all the premium titan skins or OS Voicepacks, which was a feature I loved about Titanfall 1.

A second map is coming as is a better queue, but it's probably too late.
The matchmaking on PC is so busted, without a group you'll end up getting owned by stuff you haven't unlocked the counter for.

Every Yakuza except 5 are good intros, 0 double so. Get it and lose yourself in slot car racing or hostess maker or out running or on of the other 5000 mitigates while learning about Crime and Honor

But if you like 0,all the others have extensive flashbacks.

the answer is to maximize profits, thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

The Yakuza Series never made any money. We went from not maybe getting Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 to getting a full price re-release, which cost a shitload of money to localize for an audience that isn't there.

As a Yakuza fan, I'd pay 10 Bucks more if the quality of the localization stays the same.

Hell, I'd pay premium for Ishin or Kenzan any day.

Yup,same. I have Kenzan around but my Ps3 is busted and playing with a translation FAQ is tedious,if there even is one of acceptable quality and completion.

For me the game wasn't fun or engaging. I cared about Trico and nothing else. I hated the bonding through suffering they make you do, and the game has very limited puzzles and mechanics. For me it got samey and I quit after the Evil Trico fight, and watched the ending.

I rented this, in my eyes this isn't a fully realised game at all.

I got stuck on Trico while climbing on him a lot, and the camera killed me the most.

Not really a spoiler but okay,I fixed it.

Games still niche as gently caress and kinda bad and shouldn't be GOTY for anyone.

Jack-Off Lantern
Mar 2, 2012

It..really isn't about Trico for me. I loved Trico, it worked. I can see why it doesn't work for people. It has obvious tells as to when commands like Jumping work.The Camera and the Climbing Controls are the big issue I had, in terms of technical aspects. It felt like the 200X game that it was supposed to be.

I also just felt that the gameplay was more tedious than SOTC or ICO. What didn't help was the constant popups.
I also didn't care to see Trico suffer. The whole pulling out spears thing made me wince and almost quit the game right there at the beginning.

It totally wasn't the game for me, I wasn't engrossed in the setting, story or gameplay at all.
If this was Nintentricos or Tamatrico, I'd pay 60 Dollars for it, to play with my Custom Trico on a big meadow and throw balls and clean his poop and feed him barrels all day

You aren't getting extra for your PS4 because it has PT on it. That was like a 2 day knee jerk reaction to it being deleted.

Uhmmm.. You don't. I got 350 Euro for my old PS4 because of P. T. Sold it locally, changed the password afterwards, had no credit card or other poo poo on file. The guy played PT, I got my money.

Would you guys recommend Yakuza 0 to someone who's never played a Yakuza game in their life? I'm kinda hankering for a new game after finishing Tales of Berseria and it caught my eye on the PS Store. I checked out a few reviews and the biggest complaint seems to be about nebulous "tedious things". Nobody really goes into any detail about what's tedious or why it's tedious so I have no real idea, but since I've never played a Yakuza game before maybe I'm just missing some secret background knowledge.

Also in case this is important these days with Boost Mode (tm) and all that poo poo, I'm a poor pleb with a normal PS4.

Yakuza Games are tedious to 100%.Don't. There is some minigames that aren't for you. Don't force it. Just enjoy the ride

I usually just play sidestories if I find them and limit them per chapter. I got like 50 hours in Zero with a 44% completion rate, and I was satisfied. It helps that Zeros Story is good and doesn't feature quadruple betrayals and rubber bullets and land deals to kill Orphans and Bullfights

Sadly, you don't get to punch bears or tigers in a golden castle, either.

I honestly doubt that, considering Nomura farted around for 10 Year wasting Designers and Artists. I bet they broke even on the actual development time of 2 years.

PS3 game I know, but how the gently caress did I waste so much time hunting bears in a Yakuza game? I know I could have left at any time, but for some reason, I was drawn to finishing out that questline.

Cause it's cool and manly and Taiga punches the bear really good.
