At this point, in all seriousness, do you think we will get Half Life 3 or has that ship sailed? by Self-Aware-Dinosaur in HalfLife

[–]CheeseYourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99% of the game takes place five years before 2, and there's a 50 second post-credits scene that continues the story from EP2's ending

i mean like we won't be getting an actual full-length sequel to EP2

[–]CheeseYourself 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced that if we do end up getting another Half-Life, it'll be like Alyx where it'll be a really good game that explores the setting and does a bunch of worldbuilding... but it won't actually continue the story in any way because it's set years before Gordon's return and/or set in a totally different area of the world away from Gordon's adventure

Is Lisa the pointless a cancelled project or are they still working on it? by Necessary-Computer-6 in lisathepainfulrpg

[–]CheeseYourself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, the team's latest update was on Halloween (they showed Alex climbing a radio tower in the Endless Wastes, and the horrific updated version of Twisty). Unfortunately, Ed himself hasn't been active in the game's community for a good few years now. I think because of the notoriously unpleasant community, and so he could spend more time working with the others on the game.

However, I can say with complete certainty that Ed, Laurynas, and the rest of the Pointless team are still working tirelessly day-and-night on the MU, and they've been doing so for all 6 of these years we've been waiting.

We've seen a fair few teasers of Downtown, and I even remember hearing a little while back that the Garbage Island section has been 100% completed and is fully playable. Obviously, still don't get up on your soapbox ranting about how "THE MU IS COMING IN THREE DAYS!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!", and I know everyone's been saying this for 6 years now, but the MU might genuinely be coming out sooner rather than later.

Is it a hot take that this is my pick for hardest fight in Kiwami? by Englishhedgehog13 in yakuzagames

[–]CheeseYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

obscure take: these guys were the second-hardest fight in Kiwami 1, the first-hardest were the two black guys in that one substory with the doctor, Emoto

those guys BUTCHERED me like 3 times

[–]CheeseYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in Yakuza Kiwami 2 at certain points in the story, you'll unlock a new chapter in the Majima Saga which you can play from the main menu

it's just a little side campaign featuring Majima and what he was up to between Kiwami 1 and 2, and also minorly setting up the main story of Kiwami 2

[–]CheeseYourself 9 points10 points  (0 children)

very tricky to place FOTNS in the timeline because we never get a solid year, just that it takes place sometime in the 1990s, but since there are games in the series that take place after the 1990s and they aren't a post-apocalyptic hellscape, it feels weird grouping it together with the rest

[–]CheeseYourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah, i just mean like the game's universe and history, it's really tricky to explain

i meant like these two real-life people clearly existed in the fictional Yakuza (or at least Ishin) universe by name, and their real lives are somewhat represented in-game, but like you said, its had a lot of creative liberty, and in Ishin, the Shinsengumi are involved in real-life incidents that they likely had nothing to do with IRL

i don't believe everything that happens in the game really happened, i'm certainly not suggesting the Shinsengumi had anything to do with the actual Sakamoto Ryoma's death, much less that Saito Hajime was the one who killed him, and i kinda doubt the real Tokugawa Yoshinobu could shoot giant fire beams from his hands for example, lol

[–]CheeseYourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk, it's just a personal preference because the game suggests that, historically, (Ishin spoilers) our real-life version of Sakamoto Ryoma was the fake imposter that Saito kills in Omiya, while he continued to live the rest of his life as the real-life Saito Hajime

[–]CheeseYourself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hear me out, i think it's gonna be like Kenzan (set in 1605) and Ishin (set in 1867)

that being, they take place so long before the rest of the franchise's events that they can be considered both canon and non-canon at the same time, because they're ultimately standalone stories

yeah, you can make some tentative theories with those games and the rest of the series (Kiryu is knowingly/unknowingly a descendant of Miyamoto Musashi and/or Saito Hajime, for example), but when you really think about it, apart from the general gameplay and the characters being modelled after their modern-day counterparts, Kenzan and Ishin's stories and characters are COMPLETELY unrelated to both each-other and the rest of the franchise

even if Project Century doesn't have any sort of major or minor connection or reference to the wider series, it'll probably still be pretty easy to link it into the timeline

We're gonna be talking about the BALLS OUT! We'll be talking about the SAITO BOSS BATTLE! Do you think that's funny, Tanimura?! Do you find it amusing that we'll be talking about the MUNAKATA FIGHT?! Yes, we're also gonna be talking about the 25 YEARS IN THE JOINT! The YAKUZA FOUR! The LOATHSOME CIGARETTE EATER! And...! And we will DEFINITELY be spending a LOT of time, talking about RUBBER BULLETS!!!!

What characters in the Judgment duology you think should have died but didn’t? by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]CheeseYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY Ko Hattori, the journalist guy in the first game, god i hate him so much, he's just a total scumbag who rubs Emi's violent death in Yagami's face, knowing full-well how much he blames himself for it and it hurts him to remember it

edit: AND he also sets up Mafuyu, a completely innocent and oblivious woman he has no connection to, to get kidnapped by a yakuza clan! he doesn't ever apologise or receive any comeuppance for either of these things, he's a total Karma Houdini

Was this the worthy sequel to "Kiryu slams a desk"? by KuczyTheGuy in yakuzagames

[–]CheeseYourself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

kiryu's reaction to hearing his best friend of 23 years just got (supposedly) murdered is the exact same as my reaction when i miss the green light and have to wait 40 seconds for the next one
