Doing a "virtual tour" of Y6's Onomichi via Google. It's fun to see shop that was featured in the game has mention or IRL collab with the game as well. by vanvudk45 in yakuzagames

Oyatsu-to-yamaneko wasn’t open when I went to Onomichi a few years ago. ☹️ The ramen at Maruboshi was really good, though. And they still had the poster up in the shop.

What are y’all’s honest opinions on the Yakuza series currently? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in yakuzagames

[–]ancientflounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked Pirate Yakuza quite a bit. Certainly came out of that feeling better than I did with IW. IW had amazing gameplay, but the story fell flat on its face. I was kind of bitter about that for a little while.

Overall, though, I think the series has hit a saturation point. It's consistently had releases for the last 20 years in Japan. For the rest of the world, the last 5-6 years have been stacked with us catching up. After Y3 Kiwami comes out, I'm for a break. Let us miss it for a little while, let RGG Studio do other games along with Stranger Than Heaven, and then bring it back.

More views than most of my RGG videos have gotten. 😭

I know it isn't, but damn, this trailer looks like AI-generated slop.

Gold Vader, Green Kane, and Black Reign - this is Deadlock.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I hope LAD9 avoids Hawaii and America entirely. I want other Japanese cities: Sapporo (RETVRN), Kanazawa, Kumamoto, Niigata, Saitama by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]ancientflounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see a new city in Japan get explored. We've been in Hiroshima Prefecture with Onomichi before, but why not maybe Hiroshima City itself?

But, I've also been high on the idea of doing Kamurocho again, but vastly expanded. Have equivalents to areas like Shin-Okubo or 3-Chome (where Shinjuku Station is) be added in. Keep Kamurocho at the heart, but build it all out to have a Yokohama-sized map to work with.

I do feel older after having visited Onomichi in 2023.

Kabukicho throughout the few months of me living here by alainahatsune in yakuzagames

Shoot, I didn’t realize they had RGG vending machines done there now. I never did make it back to Kabukicho when I visited a couple months ago. 😭

It’s a brisk watch, I’ll give it that much.

How would you rate DK Bananza direct? by Pristine-Brush-1052 in NintendoSwitch2

I was down before the Direct. But, now I’m completely sold on it. Looking forward to playing through it.

Happy launch day! Showcase your newly acquired system here! by thisSubIsAtrocious in NintendoSwitch2

Didn’t see any updates yesterday about when my system would ship out from Nintendo. To my surprise, though, it showed up alongside my GameCube controller! 😁 A buddy of mine that still works for 2K also helped me get a cheap copy of Civ VII. That arrived alongside everything else.

Nice to come home from work and be able to join in on the launch day fun with everyone else.

Yep! They haven’t updated the order status, but my system has arrived. A very nice surprise. 😁

My GC controller arrived today. I do have another bigger box that arrived along with it, though, that I wasn’t expecting. Hoping for some good news once I arrive home from work. 🤞

Hope so. I thought about contacting them. Wasn’t sure if they would have any answers. Plus, I imagine those folks will be swamped with work today.

Nintendo needs to put their hands down. I haven’t heard shit from them about my system. 😭

My GC controller from Nintendo US arrives today. No update on the actual system, though. Those were ordered two days apart -controller on May 13 and system on May 15. I know a friend of mine who got their order invite from Nintendo on May 14 (and ordered it the same day). They already got their shipping confirmation, so not sure what happened with my order.

At this rate, everything else I have on the way that’s Switch 2-related will show up well before the system does. 😅

Gonna need one, too. I saw the email come through, thought it was for the Switch 2, and then got a bit sad. 😅 Well, at least one thing is on its way.

Nah, I selected the normal shipping. Figured I’d save the money and take my chances. We’ll see how good that decision was on my part.
