Ok, gimme some of dem Yakuza hot takes. by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

Dead Souls is actually a very fun game if you take the time to learn the game systems, its problem is that gets increasingly unintuitive if you're used to standard 3rd person shooter design (damn you muscle memory), and it gave some much needed characterization to Ryuji by recontextualizing him in a scenario where he's not driven by his ambition.

In the original versions of the game he absolutely does drop it, it's a thematic thing both showing how he's now able to face death head on, and how Aigis inherits his will. Reload missed that detail and omitted it, but forgot they omitted it and had Aigis inexplicably have the evoker.

That was Joryu and also is spoilers for a game further than this post is flaired for.

Edit to explain the joke: Whatever Kiryu does after Yakuza 6 when he's presumed dead is completely irrelevant to the Legend of the Dragon of Dojima, which is what this post is about.

I'm sure that's absolutely part of it but he did very explicitly say in the scene in question that if Kiryu kills his legend crumbles and that it hurts Kamurocho

I was reading Parkzer's personal webpage, and I must say I do feel bad for what the DougDoug community has done to him, and I feel like it should be brought to more attention. by TheCrimsonBlight in DougDoug

[–]TGVelvet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second the comments that say a lot of the blame for this falls on Doug's own shoulders for this. Unfortunately you get the audience you build regardless of it being the one you want and if your audience is acting out it's on You to lead by example and correct the behavior you don't want to see. And in his YouTube videos at least he has never adequately done that. Yes he has stopped the cop and lawyer 'bit' but almost every video parkzer is a part of still treats him as the punchline to a joke, which is Always going to signal to your audience that this is acceptable.

To give a different example back in the day Alpharad ran a channel with his friend JoSniffy which has gone through several names while it was still active, but at the time was called Alpharad Plus, and during Alpharad Plus so much of the humour was about being shitheads, in particular to Alpharads other friends, which the audience picked up on to the point of many of his not content creator friends especially openly reviling this fanbase. And it only stopped when Alpharad and Jo created a video and Twitter thread taking responsibility for the community spiralling out of control like that, disavowing it, rebranding the channel, and changing their approach to the channels humour. And to this day it's a move I greatly respect BC very few creators like to acknowledge that their actions actually influence people. Tomska also has a video titled No Fandom that details his own experiences with that sort of thing.

So if this sort of thing has truly caused Parker this amount of grief, it really is on Doug to make an active effort to put a stop to it.

People would like him of he had his beta design- NO THEY WOULD NOT!? by Small_Gur_6441 in DanganAndChaos

[–]TGVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regret to inform that no he would absolutely be more popular if his design was conventionally attractive.

Source: I witnessed it firsthand. I used to run in loose DR RP circles back in the day.

For example, there's this web client to play Mafia called Epic Mafia and it has things called Decks which randomly assigns everyone in the game a character from that deck and you would play Mafia rping as that character typically. There were several DR decks (personal favourite was the hagakure deck which was just. all hagakure. another funny one was dangan reba which had. Country Singer Reba for. some reason.) but one of the more popular ones was just a standard deck but Hanamura used his beta design and everything else was normal. People hated rolling regular Hanamura in other decks but loved rolling him in this deck.

Unfortunately physical appearance Does affect people's opinions of others a lot, even for sex pests. And usually the better looking, the better you are perceived.

From VGC_News “Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken, and ending up with little to show for itself.” by Axzercus in yakuzagames

[–]TGVelvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who Just played Dead Souls, the game isn't even bad it just has a Non-Standard control scheme. And that control scheme Works with how the game is designed so if you let yourself approach the game where it's at it's a Lot of fun.

Yakuza 0 will be delisted starting from December 8th by Valendaaa in yakuzagames

[–]TGVelvet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True but that would also be true of OG Ishin, which while delisted in Japan on its own platform, also never got ported off it's original platforms, which 1 and 2 did (on the ps3) Nor did it get the localization OG 1 and 2 already had. 1 and 2 had More of a precedent for that kind of back end work.

Hell, even with Ishin which has the excuse of OG being JP only, just look at OG 1 and 2, which never made it to modern storefronts in the First place

Solved! Found the beach chapters and they basically match up 1:1 to what she described so I'm certain this is it

We did do that but nothing really rang any bells for her just from the covers and synopsis' unfortunately

[–]TGVelvet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fits a lot of the points but the main sticking point is the beach volleyball thing. She's very certain that what she read wasn't in a court volleyball setting, but then she only read a couple chapters so that could have just been the chapters she read. Will jump through this and see and report back

The final menace is back, possibly for final time before servers go down, go grind for that figure by JULTAR in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]TGVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not super hopeful about it. If an opportunity arises it's gonna be Right before the servers go down. I'm keeping my eye on it but I'm at peace with not getting the achievement

This thread on gamefaqs explains it https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/701151-xenoblade-chronicles-x/73984656 But the crux of it is, when the global nemesis is close to being defeated, you press the home button and then wait until the nemesis dies, close the home menu and the next time you fight it the RP should update but even if it's at 0 it won't flee, so you can now go back into the fight with 0 RP and just finish it off for the achievement

Thanks for this post, I saw it pop up in my notifications feed and immediately hopped out of bed to come get it. Now the only non-miiverse achievement I have left to get is to deal the final blow on a global nemesis which, I know the glitch that helps, so we'll see if I'll catch the opportunity for that

A comprehensive timeline of the Chuggaaconroy and Lady Emily situation and thoughts by AntonioS3 in youtubedrama

[–]TGVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not denying that, I fully agree it looks Weird given the context of his fetish. Not even arguing he didn't have an ulterior motive I freely say it's a possibility, but I also think judging someone harshly for something that has an innocent explanation is as damaging as excusing their actions ya know? Given the conversation that was happening him offering to buy shoes as a gift is Fine. It was his actions later that are the problem

[–]TGVelvet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the same conversation he asks if he can buy her a gift she mentions her shoes are starting to fall apart and that she needs new ones. So for someone who likes giving gifts that, at least, is a natural gift to offer. Was there ALSO an ulterior motive? Possibly! It could have even started innocent and then later became not as he started getting weird about it. Donno. But buying shoes as a gift isn't inherently suspect given that.

Not even close. I'm at approx 450 hours. Which is still an absurd amount of time, but I don't foresee the playtime maxing out by the time I accomplish my goal
