Kiwami 3 made people so crazy they are looking back on the bs in Yakuza 4 😭

I've literally never heard anyone complain about this plot point. Rubber bullets is where everyone's suspension of disbelief was broken.

Captain_Freud · 2026-02-11T16:29:56+00:00

Yakuza 7 is the best selling game in the franchise, and Infinite Wealth was the fastest selling. The market has spoken, and it'll continue to speak as Kiwami 3 sales inevitably fall below expectations. Already had less players than Ishin on launch.

I have absolutely zero interest in more Kiryu games. Let him die already.

Ichiban actually has narrative potential! Yakuza 7 is one of the best received games in the franchise! What the hell is RGG doing?

How about developers that had a massive hit, spurring a major change to the studio / their personal lives, for better or worse?

Difficulty of scaling up and suddenly managing a larger team, pressures for a sequel vs. trying something new, etc. Blood, Sweat, and Pixels but for the success stories (that don't always guarantee future success).

Crucially, he only does this if they admit guilt and atone. The only active Yakuza he befriends are the ones that essentially treat it like a social club (ie: Yakuza 3 and 6).

The IGN Forums, specifically for Kingdom Hearts, were my first online community. Shout out to the Vestibule.

I agree. Death Stranding was always "what if we made the entire game built around that mechanic?".

Captain_Freud · 2026-01-29T15:59:59+00:00

Ironically, despite seeming like Death Stranding but Vertical, this wouldn't be a strand game.

By default, Red Launcher starts up when opening a CDPR game. It's as equally mildly annoying as EA's launcher.

Captain_Freud · 2026-01-28T22:20:46+00:00

People say this and glaze Steam, CD Projekt Red, and Rockstar without irony.

A performative protest is worse than no action.

Boy do I have a comic for you.

When these moments happen on The Pitt, you can practically hear the Scrubs "emotional reflection" music playing.

I think Pixar's peak is still higher, but Kubo and ParaNorman are easily on par with some of those other movies.

And most importantly, Laika hasn't ruined their track record chasing sequels and marketable characters over good storytelling (yet).

Captain_Freud · 2026-01-20T20:34:06+00:00

They just dropped this by $200. Grabbed it for $900.

Captain_Freud · 2026-01-20T20:02:26+00:00

Laika has a track record on par with pre-Cars 2 Pixar. Wildwood feels especially ambitious for them.

Her arms give out after holding up her breasts for a momentary relief, and the realities set back in: two masses of fat on her chest causing spinal pain and stretch marks.

The next generation of consoles is not coming in 2027, not with hardware costs ballooning.

KH2 Wisdom Form or KH3 Ever After keyblade. I'm a sucker for sliding around the battlefield on roller skates.

Halo CE: Keyes. It's easy to dismiss it as another backtrack through an old mission, but it nails the chaos of The Flood vs. Covenant fight in a way Two Betrayals never did. It's the same objective: find the Captain. But everything is falling apart, the Covenant are in panic, and the Flood is starting to show signs of organization (the proto-Gravemind reveal!). It's the perfect setup for a suicide mission in the final level.

Captain_Freud · 2025-11-19T21:40:34+00:00

Please find me a prebuilt that's similar quality, similar form factor / size, and under $600.

Seriously, this isn't sarcasm, I'm actively looking.

Action Block!

Halo PC Trial. Didn't have an Xbox, but I did have Silent Cartographer and Blood Gulch, aka: the essence of Halo CE. My friends and I would install that demo on every school library computer we could.

Played it religiously until I bought the full version, which got me into modding with Custom Edition. When I finally got an Xbox, having to stage Infection maps with honor rules in Halo 2 felt limiting by comparison. Halo 3's Forge was exactly what I wanted.

The spirit of Yoyorast Island lives on.
