ShallNoiseUpon posted:I've played 20 hours Yakuza Kiwami in the last week or so and it's been a really great time. Wandering around Kamurocho and meeting all sorts of interesting people and then also probably punching them has been a real treat. I'm kind of bummed that I'm extremely late to the Yakuza party (played 0 last year and loved it and forgot to put it on my GOTY), but excited about what lay ahead for me. Kiwami 2 is so much better than the first one in every conceivable way (unless you love grinding Majima fights). Look forward to it.

If the Switch hadn't been such a huge success I'd expect a console announcement towards the end of this year. As it is it'll probably be another two years at least.

RBA Starblade posted:Something I do like is how so far the "world" has been "some random rear end city in a desert" with locales like "this grassland to the west" and "some cliffs to the east" and the main quest and class quests have been "see what's up with this noble and some smugglers in a lovely mine" and "learn that your mentor sucks rear end at everything because he's an Old and get him feeling good about himself again". Not everything has to be a big god drat ordeal, you know? I guess there's some stupid bullshit about crystals and light and darkness

Relax Or DIE posted:they probably could have made it this year but they had to finish tacking on rpg mechanics The RPG mechanics in the first one were good. I can't think of many high profile games slated for a 2021 release anyway so I'm not expecting much to change on that front. No one realistically thought GoW was dropping this year anyway.

Rinkles posted:They don't do the Old Republic thing of holding back basic features like a second hotbar for F2Pers? I know the restrictions aren't quite as strict as they used to be. It's a straight up free trial. It's not like SWTOR or LOTRO where free players are just second class citizens playing a broken game with half the content missing.

The whole of the ESA only still exists because of inertia anyway. Hopefully a few more years will kill it for good. That said I do sort of miss the spectacle of the ridiculous booths and on-the-floor coverage. I can't remember the last time I watched a game preview filmed from a camera, commentated by a PR rep with a deafening crowd noise in the background.

Relax Or DIE posted:chimera squad wasn't bad so a marvel XCOM could work, I don't see a world where it's not bogged down by gaas nonsense and promotion-focused decisions though Yeah 2K is absolute poison for that poo poo right now. XCOM has managed to avoid it so far but IIRC Civ 6 is now a season based GAAS-lite. There's no way a Marvel one won't end up resembling one of the many Marvel phone gacha/scam games.

Khanstant posted:Why did the Kingdom Hearts story end up the way it did? It seems like the main Kingdom Hearts story could be entirely sustained purely on KH exclusive characters, like, what's the point of Final Fantasy and Disney poo poo being there? Would it just have been too much of a nightmare to craft and get approved any narrative that involved FF/Disney properties, to the point where the best they could do si compartmentalize that stuff as best as possible and focus on a bunch of OC characters with dumb names, horrible personalities, forgettable character designs, with deliberately obtuse contrivances woven in just everywhere? The Disney and FF stuff is the good part of the series. It's a huge shame they gave up on the FF aspects. The whole point of the thing was a crazy unexpected crossover with a few original characters thrown in.

Infinitum posted:Just wanted to say a big gently caress you to whichever dickhead was behind the decision to price PS5 games at $125 aud at retail. Yerp. They're trying to raise the RRP on games to £70 in the UK, which is apparently the equivalent of $125aud. £50 was a massive stretch but this is just ridiculous. e: Shockingly Amazon UK has Demon's Souls down to £50 which is hopefully a sign that people aren't buying new games at the higher price.

Simone Magus posted:It was just an example. Sure, but that already happens to a large extent. Low budget games and indies rarely cost more than £20, mid budget games range from £30-40 and AAA games cost whatever the publisher feels like charging. It's not like some AAA games are inherently worth more money than others because of their development cost. Games are already too expensive and insanely profitable. I just don't like the idea of giving publishers an excuse to charge even more. And as others have pointed out the people actually adding value to the game wouldn't see a single penny of that premium cost.

I paid £95 to see Coldplay. Actually I paid £190 because I was taking my then-girlfriend. I have regrets. £50 is the sweet spot for a good gig these days (which is also what I paid for Gorillaz) but it's rare that big bands will be less than £70.

https://twitter.com/Toadsanime/status/1402299907164229632?s=19 I get that it's a small run passion project but I wish this thing was like £80. Given that the games are entirely unknown but almost certainly just tiny little goofy things it seems like a relatively huge down-payment. Sub <£100 I'd totally take a punt on though.

mutata posted:I agree, but I was talking about this with other folks and we looked up that the original Gameboy was $90, which is $190 in 2021 money. Oh definitely, I'm sure they're barely making a penny on it and it's worth it hardware wise. It's just extremely hard to justify in a world where everyone owns at least a few massive experimental indie game bundles.

That was "stipped down modern gaming" and the Playdate is "polished up retro gaming", and it's definitely a lot of money, but that's probably what it actually should cost, to be frank.

hatty posted:Sekiro only came out two years ago the wait hasn’t been long at all lmao The issue is that Dark Souls 3 was five years ago and as great as Sekiro was most people saw it as a cute little little side project between Souls and Ring. That and the two years of radio silence hosed with people's heads. They shouldn't have announced it so early.
