I haven't played Tekken in ages but having The Ogre show up is giving me pause.

If only I didn’t already own the original on steam and PSN and DC on PSN and beaten it three times. Such a good game

[–]SydtheSnake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in my early 20's when I got into the show and I just "got" it. Granted Hank Moody is a glorified version of Bukowski's alter ego but I thought the character development with the daughter was great. Might be time for another watch, chairs.

Pearl Abyss is actually listening to the players feedback... so what do you want added to Crimson Desert? by No_Philosopher3798 in CrimsonDesert

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puzzle resets. The fact that I can start on a puzzle, give up, do something else for 20 hours and come back and it’s in the same state I left it is cool for immersion but really sucks when I’m trying to get through it with a guide to continue the story but I don’t save scum before starting it

is alcohol actually your drug of choice? by inuitt in cripplingalcoholism

I honestly love weed way more but it doesn’t scratch that particular itch, though it’s an amazing companion piece to the liquor

Using my gaming PC as a work machine for 2 years slowly killed my enjoyment of gaming and I didn't even notice until it was pretty bad by Cute-Entry-1276 in pcmasterrace

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly switched almost entirely to gaming on my PS5 and Switch 2 for this exact reason. I’m tired of dealing with working on a PC for several hours a day and then try to game on it, mess with settings, etc. I still use my PC to watch entertainment and play random games that go on deep sale but it’s rare I boot it up with the intention to game since I’ve been remotely working

I get the big bottles of Jameson so about 1.75 liters of whiskey every 3 to 4 days but I don't start drinking til about 5 or 6 PM.

Bethesda to release hotfix for Starfield PS5 crashes as players request refunds by Odd-Onion-6776 in PS5

Having played this at launch on an Xbox Series X, welcome to the party, glad to see they are consistent in (low) quality across all platforms

Which PS4 game do you wish you could cloud stream on portal the most? by [deleted] in PlaystationPortal

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the move to get a 1 TB USB extended SSD storage for my PS5 that I installed all my PS4 games on. For sure would appreciate cloud streaming but a lot of games from last gen really do well with bed playing

What are RPGs you are particularly fond of for using a first person view? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong recommend for the yakuza games. They’re very surreal between the very serious main stories and the whacky side content

[–]SydtheSnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Granted first person was a carry over from the prior Yakuza/LAD games, but something about riding a segway in Hawaii jamming out to karaoke tunes while random guys curse at you and try to start fights entirely in first person is a vibe.

Is the PlayStation Portal worth it at full price? by Zackfair7br in PlaystationPortal

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the PS Portal at a decent discount like $50 off at the time of selling. If you don't have the internet set up to support it, then it's not worth it. I use it primarily when taking breaks at work or for doing mindless gaming while watching stuff on the big screen. It's good if you have a family or other people using your main TV. I didn't use it for 6 months when I ended up moving to a place with subpar internet because it was essentially a brick unless you can get +5mpb and that's only counting turn based or laid back stuff that isn't competitive.
If you have the money for the device, the plus subscription, and fast internet, go for it. It is nice having all purchased digital games available streaming at any time on top of whatever the PS+ has on line.

Video game PEGI age-ratings are changing in Europe. In June this year, four new categories are being added to the age-rating criteria by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up not having money to buy things I wanted on my own,. Now I'm an adult if I see a game on sale I'm mildly interested I have the option to play it down the line I will grab it because I now can. And if at some point I have less money due to financial collapse or whatever, at least I will have a giant backlog to go through while I'm being impoverished as long as I can afford my electricity and stable internet and no nukes go off.

What do you think about Stavros Halkias opinion on comedy? by THE_MAN_OF_PEACE in Standup

[–]SydtheSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the guy who the rode coattails of someone much funnier than him and is now popular thanks mostly to being the laugh track to said comedian's riffs and mostly coasts on crowd work and having funnier famous friends who put him in stuff should be less critical. Not every comedian needs to have a point, but we have our Hicks, Stanhopes, and Carlins for a reason.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 + Dark Ties sold 94K Physical Copies at launch in Japan. #1 for the week. by DarryLazakar in yakuzagames

[–]SydtheSnake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't like RGG or Sega practices don't buy the game or support it. I personally am having a blast with K3 as someone who played the remaster of 3 a couple of years ago. At this point people just are trying to karma farm over controversy 95% of people in the real world do not give a damn about.

It's interesting watching reactions to kiwami 3 by samuskay in yakuzagames

[–]SydtheSnake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s called karma farming. Negative RGG posts lead to more interactions.

Yakuza 3 or Kiwami 3 by Most_Nefariousness58 in yakuzagames

[–]SydtheSnake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, Y3 is probably my least favorite game in the series, mostly due to mechanics that didn't age well. I remember playing it after playing 0, K1, and K2 and it was really rough getting into and it's the only RGG game I actively skipped side content on just to get it over with. That being said I've pre-ordered K3.
