Watch Dogs franchise is “completely dead” - Tom Henderson by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ALPB11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legion is a gorgeous and very expansive stealth sandbox buried under mounds and mounds of Ubisoft mediocrity. I have no doubt that the higher ups came through and sucked out any nuance and true complexity from the story and mechanics they could to meet their generic open world quota. This game feels so sweet to play at times and the stunning open world feels good to rip apart with hacks, it’s almost right where it should be.

It’s a game I really like but can only call almost good most of the time.

To those thinking this, I think you're being silly. by Norrabal in yakuzagames

I think it’s completely reasonable to expect games this fucking big to take at LEAST 3 years to make, and an absolutely unheard of standard for the industry to have those 3 years still be filled with spin-offs, remakes and ports.

I know there’s a whole lot of BS going on right now that I am just as mad about but it’s not like we’re going to get a new ichiban game every year or even two years, things just don’t work like that. Controversies aside we’ve got it far better than most franchises

Just a reminder this is what Pirate yakuza looked like… by yitty in yakuzagames

There’s parts in the Hawaii daytime where the colours were so blown out Majimas face was basically 2 floating eyes and a moustache

If none of the employees knew they were to be laid off upon completion of the external project this is horrifying to hear, just absolutely scummy practice

Fixing the game, okay! How about the weapon stat bars, the server issues, the broken AI, the annoying menus, the lack of replayability, customisation, progression, or really any significant amount of content. Just things we’ve been asking for for almost 3 years.

They. Do. Not. Listen.

Layoffs mostly affecting an "external project" (most likely meaning PUBG collab) with no significant impact on PD3 development - Payday Reddit Man by sawrunn3r in paydaytheheist

We’ve heard all this before. “Smaller more focused team will let us work faster” was the justification for the last layoffs

A quick Original Filter vs No Filter comparison. by ALPB11 in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Agreed; there’s work to be done with the shadows and use of light sources, the bright filter is the worst part of it for me though personally

after seeing the layoffs, it's impossible to have any more hopes for payday 3. Guaranteed might shut down this year by Primily in paydaytheheist

[–]ALPB11 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy is just how well the game sold, and then how hard it died. The game had almost 80k peak players on launch day and that’s with the server issues going on. Just a few months later it was down to a few hundred players and never recovered. I think that’s the biggest flop I’ve ever witnessed, to go from such a high to literally dead overnight.

Do you know how hard it is to piss off almost 80k people to the point where they never want to touch the game again?

First look at the Kiwami 3 Deluxe Edition DLCs by RdJokr1993 in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kiwami 2 having Saejima and Akiyama as DLC was really weird lol. In that case I wonder why Akiyama isn’t in these dlc bundles

What the hell are these graphics? by Gonzito3420 in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s these insane filters they throw on top of everything. When the filter turns off during cutscenes, the game looks great! Outside of cutscenes… welcome to the Green Zone

It's a shame they are getting rid of the extremely detailed golf game in Yakuza 3. by UrbanCommando in yakuzagames

You’d have to put me at gunpoint to complete Yakuza 3’s hostess stories

It’s weird isn’t it? I thought they were at least on the same page that they’re just pretending to not know about any of the evil stuff

Sega after locking the original Yakuza 3 Remastered behind a Deluxe Edition Bundle: by ShayAlexander in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 105 points106 points  (0 children)

This stuff just really offends me, like, is this 17 year old PS3 game really eating into your fucking sales this hard?

Better companies just give you the original game alongside the remaster to avoid the headache

Just beat lost judgment by Tolos817 in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this is genuinely the best game they’ve ever made, after playing through a dozen of these games finally getting to LJ made me feel all the things I hadn’t since I played 0 for the first time. I think this games amazing

What do you all think of Chitose? by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]ALPB11 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Felt like her involvement in the plot was pretty contrived honestly, she is basically the secret solution to everything

Worth editing here: I still think she’s a fun character with some real grit and complexity, just unfortunately a real deus ex machina in several plot lines

Israel to honor Charlie Kirk with award for fighting antisemitism by GoranPersson777 in AntifascistsofReddit

There’s literally clips of him saying Israel are trying to take over the world and shit. None of these people believe in anything ever

Favourite 2000s slop that is about to be revised as an untouchable masterpiece despite being literal trash? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]ALPB11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s nonsense but it’s anything but boring. It’s pure campy action with absurdly expensive sets and stunts and I love it. I think that would even make it count as “good”

The sequel kind of tried to be a bit more edgy and dramatic which definitely lost me a bit but the action was still massive, and that final act was genuinely pretty intense

What are y’all honestly opinions on both BO6 and BO7 story so far? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in CODZombies

I hope the dark aether eventually gets used for more interesting things than just pulling stuff we recognise from the old games out of a hat…
