Man, everything I hear about the Yakuza series makes me really want to dig in, but the thought of going through 8 (9?) games is frankly quite intimidating.

Start at 0. It's IMO one of the greatest games of all time and while it's a prequel doesn't require prior knowledge of the series to grasp the story.

It also features the greatest cutscene in video game history (minor sidequest spoiler)

I still have my notes from my themed game

there's still a group of dedicated players, and mods are still being supported.

Yep, I was right about my other prediction too.

Anyway playing Disco Elysium next and it's amazing so far.

Also, update: My first prediction was right.

Also, GRRM has a cameo in the game, and it's amazing.

If a TV or Book King doesn’t have bastards, is he even a King?

 

also, the spoiler was for the plot of the game itself, not the TV series.

So the Game of Thrones RPG is centered on

and I'm about 25% sure that the two protags you play as will end up killing each other over this.

yeah not sure what happened there, it was meant to be the one after. I was going to change it anyway as I decided to share his You Don't Know Jack gig because he really nailed that and I think it's a bit less known than Mystery Men

So there's a Game of Thrones RPG (not Crusader Kings). And so far it's... eh. The story is fantastic but the gameplay feels like a cheap knockoff of KOTOR. Not offensively bad but... it's like eating Taco Bell when there's a mom and pop place just next door that makes shrimp quesadillas just the way you like them and now I'm pining for the mom and pop Mexican place back in Ft Lauderdale dammit

Does the cell replace any existing content, or is added in? All the mods I've seen before simply swapped out some content for others which... I appreciate the creativity but it's not what I'm looking for.

oof, yeah, he's been through some awful shit lately. hopefully he'll do better.

I have no interest at all in playing online. If Stadium Stampede has an offline mode, I *might* give it a go, but if it's only online then oh well.

(Note: This isn't me ragging on the game, mind. I almost *never* want to play online even for games I really like. Street Fighter 6 is the only one I've seriously considered in ages that isn't City of Heroes)

A game about my dad's high school, sign me up

My game has done nothing but crash all day after the match loading screen. Very annoying. So not been able to play it again today. Should not have bought it at full price.  I'm not mad at all. 

PS4? If so, known issue.

Did they at least mix the ingredients right?

I think they substituted egg with... parmesan cheese for some reason.

Couldn't have put it better. Also don't like the mentality of "we should buy it to support it getting good later". The game should not feel half baked at release. And that goes for any game.

It's not even half baked. They didn't even put it in the fuckin oven.

It would take a No Man's Sky tier salvaging.

It's something I'll never quite grasp, the public rant vid, though to be fair I am real life "old man shouts at cloud" at this point and the idea of putting myself online to that extend terrifies me. Thanks for the response though, you're a better man than me.

Nah, I kind of overreacted myself. S'all good though.

I'm really sorry, it's just not my kind of thing. The two minute rant at the start before eventually just demonstrating the issues just sapped my interest, but like I say I'm not a youtube guy at all and I appreciate the system is probably set up to want long videos. I can only keep apologising, I'd never have said it had I known it was you but I have now and am pretty mortified. 😕

 

Fair enough. And to be fair, it wasn't *meant* to be a video on the issues at all, I was going to LP the season mode. But it was just so shit-tastic that I couldn't help myself. I mean, I could have overlooked the paper-thin appearance menu if not for the *baffling* omissions in moveset.

If it was a review I probably would have just jumped right into it, or did an off-stream recording of the problems with VO but it was off the cuff and I didn't decide to go full rant until I started my intro.

I watched that and was more annoyed at how thick that guy is than the game...

Excuse me?

Name one thing about the video you disagree with.

I wanted to have fun with this game, to have a cool vampire lady make her way to the big belt one Tiger Driver at a time but... yeah. The gameplay is a shambles, doing anything but one v one is unplayable and guess what the career mode loves to do, four ways and tags all day. And one on one is... it's just not very good either.
