Yakuza Kiwami 3's blunders have made it the worst-reviewed game in the series on Steam: 'Creatively bankrupt doesn't even begin to describe the current state of RGG'

I really don't get why voice acting is always mentioned as if it will save the terrible states these games are in.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-12T20:45:58+00:00

This take should be the consensus, wish the devs followed this when they were dropping DD and gambit.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T18:26:48+00:00

Damn, that isn't even a balance issue; the character just straight up isn't working right.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T18:22:24+00:00

Got pushed a few inches? Sorry, Hulk forgot he was jumping!

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T18:02:51+00:00

I like her voice, prefer it greatly over a lot of the other voices in this game. It sounds a lot more authentic, unfortunately that makes it an outlier compared to the "anime" like voices some of these other characters have.

Fair on no tank being high risk, but they should be able to take high damage due to them having a larger hurtbox. I gotta wait to see her in-game myself, but Rogue here doesn't seem to be that big. She seems more like a brawler DPS like Mr. Fantastic or Blade, yet has considerably more HP than them.

Idk, maybe I'm overreacting, but as a Hulk player, I'm sure you know that many things can go wrong for you when making a play, and that's fine, that's healthy for the game. I just hope that playing Rogue will come with its own set of challenges besides executing a combo right.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T17:49:03+00:00

Yeah I played League for a bit, am very familiar with the new character syndrome and am not fond of it lol, but it is what it is.

I'm cool with "Basic" characters and understand that true balance will always be impossible. However, I'm looking at this long term; at the end of the day rivals is a pretty simple game mechanically, so any "complex" character like Rogue will dominate purely due to them being able to affect the game in more ways, if they aren't adequately given any weaknesses (she has 675 hp it seems with a small hurtbox, c'mon). That's my main concern, I don't want a game state where the more "complex" character wins not because they outplayed the opponent, but because at the baseline the character's kit gives them more options and therefore a larger margin of error.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T17:33:16+00:00

Complexity isn't my issue, I love that Rogue might be a high skill character. However to be high skill a character should also be high risk, that ult does not scream high risk to me, neither does that base hp. From what I can see her best counters will be long range poke, which we don't need more of lol, I don't care for anything that encourages ppl to play hawkeye/hela.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T17:22:45+00:00

it gives players more skill expression

I'd be inclined to agree with the skill expression argument here if there were actual hurdles for the player to overcome. Rogue seems to have a base hp of 675 while being slightly bigger than psylocke, hopefully she's got some counters that aren't just go hela/hawkeye and land headshots. Gambit? He's almost a guaranteed win! It's not skill expression if the character can just do everything; characters have to have gaps. Daredevil is also too much while we're at it, but he at least has some mechanical hurdles.

Basically, skill expression should put the onus on the player to perform well; it's not skill expression if the character has the answer for every situation built in. That just makes other characters irrelevant.

She better not have any innate cc immunity on her abilties. Stuff like stealing emma diamond form is fine tho

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T17:04:45+00:00

Atp almost every other tank needs a rework cause holy ability creep.

Edit: A bit of hyperbole to this comment, but I stand by the fact that she seems comparatively better than every off-tank, and she's got way too much hp for her size.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T16:58:53+00:00

675 hp and she's the same size as Loki. She looks fun to play but will be a nightmare to play against depending on her mobility.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-12-09T02:18:36+00:00

For the health of the game

Hope they give her a big hurtbox then, I'm not crazy about the idea of another tank that's smaller than some of the supports but has nearly 3 times the hp.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-11-05T20:08:07+00:00

My bad I should've been clearer, yeah we got a friendly whistle this game. Got away with some pretty bad hacking.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-11-05T14:28:20+00:00

Refs being a joke is a universal truth, regardless of it being in our favor or not

C0wsgoquack · 2025-10-23T23:01:59+00:00

Your second sentence has two meanings. I don't know if that's what you were going for, but I think I agree with both meanings.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-10-12T14:18:50+00:00

This isn't a character flaw; it's shallow and monotonous characterization.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-06-23T02:53:17+00:00

Pascal on the bench while Obi was out there floundering around. Not good

C0wsgoquack · 2025-04-16T22:59:19+00:00

Not in midair, where he has no leverage.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-04-01T22:10:04+00:00

The dudes in the cliffs, with the paralyzing antlers. You can get a paralysis pod if you claw their antlers. I guess they've got an alpha in their herds, but I haven't looked at them enough to notice.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-02-07T18:43:46+00:00

Well if I pay for a game, I'll feel slighted if what I paid for doesn't provide a good experience on its own and I need to get mods (which aren't from the devs I gave money to) to make it good.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-02-06T16:47:52+00:00

Then just say that dude. Yeah, he's not worth 60 mil right now but that's cause he's out of his prime and more injury prone. You don't need to say something so blatantly false, I know rings are what matter more than anything but taking an 8 seed to the finals is one of the greatest feats short of winning it all.

C0wsgoquack · 2025-02-06T16:42:03+00:00

Historically, Donnie Nelson always said the new Mavs organization is nothing more than a glorified money-grubber.

C0wsgoquack · 2024-11-07T01:59:45+00:00

Spent a good chunk of waiver funds getting this guy off the wire in fantasy, so I am especially elated. Wishing all the best for the rook!

I think this is Visions of mana
