What are you playing today?


Recommended Posts

Tried Yakuza Kiwami as my first Yakuza game and bounced off it after about two hours. I'd be into an uninterrupted Final Fight style game with those fighting mechanics but the rest did nothing for me.

 

Bought Ion Fury on Steam and played that for maybe two hours tonight. I'm playing on Normal and the game seems really fucking hard, or more specifically the enemy reaction time is insanely quick

Start with 0!

What makes 0 better though? What I didn't like about this was basically everything outside of the fisticuffs which, granted it was the beginning of the game, were a tiny ratio compared to the amount of sitting and watching Japanese soap opera.

I'm playing Avengers but I hear Hades is good. @JPDunks4 and @Mercury33 won't shut up about it :p

I'm not into the whole rogue thing really but this game does look really fun based on the gameplay video I just checked out, thanks for the tip!

You'll still hate it, but at least you'll hate it starting from the beginning!

 

If you go in thinking that you're playing an RPG with real time combat with a gritty 80s Yakuza story with some silly side quests, you might enjoy it more.

I didn't hate it, just not my cup of tea so it was just me waiting for the brawls which made for a really boring experience.

I haven't played Kawami yet but if it's anything like 0 there's big story setup at the beginning and not too much combat but when the game opens up you'll be going around beating up people all over the place.

I mean, I just mainly delivered packages in some repetitive OCD loop in Death Stranding for like 160 hours...I certainly understand totally random gaming micro-addictions ha!

 

I think the biggest draw is it is low stakes. You can gamble without worry knowing that if you run out of money you can just run out on the streets and kick some hooligan's ass for a bunch of yen and come back. :p

Playing the Spiderman DLC, probably about half way through the middle one (of three).

It's alright.  More fleshed out than I thought it'd be (and gleamed from reviews), but is still generally more of the same at lower stakes.  Combat is a bit more involved, which I like.

Really wish they added to the level cap.

Been playing Ion Fury and while I think it's good and fun, it's nowhere near as clever as Duke Nukem 3D's level design or anything. I recently replayed DN3D so it's still fresh in my mind. There are many small irritations that kind of showball into one of those moments where I just sigh and quit for the night.

Hey man I just started the Fist of The North Star game that is basically Yakuza with a FOTNS skin on it. That might be more up your alley... especially if you know the Manga/Anime.

Is it more of a straight forward brawler structurally? That'd be cool. 

 

I did see the anime flick AGES ago when it was going around on dubbed VHS tapes as 'super gory cartoon dude!!!!'.

It’s a brawler with some RPG elements... and all of the over the top gore of the cartoon. I did the prologue and that’s it. Stoped playing as Chapter one started. A lot of cut scenes and the game seems to be following the anime pretty closely in terms of story. Unlocking new moves seems pretty cool too. I’d check it out if I were you.

Last of Us 2.  Jesus, just when I think things are about to wrap up, something else happens.  

 

EDIT:  Finally freaking finished it.  I liked it well enough.  That Santa Barbara portion seemed kind of tacked on.  Should have wrapped it up when Ellie and Abby fought in the theater.

More Tony Hawks...weirdly after using the D-Pad for most of the first game and being...OK, I tried using the analogue stick and was so much more fluid with the game. I used to play THPS on the GC with the analogue stick and it feels like I’ve rediscovered an old friend now I feel better at the game.
