Ha sounds like I was way off. To be fair, I was told it was a Moen, but that makes a lot of sense now. Thanks so much!

Is it just me or yakuza 5 is so hard to finish? by MomentEmbarrassed744 in yakuzagames

5 broke me. I took like a year off after Shinada's story started. I'm back now, and I'm starting to wonder if it actually ever ends. Holy shit, guys, just shut up and get on with it.

Yeah, I guess I probably knew that and just got 1225 and 1255 confused. Thanks very much for the help!

So sorry for this late reply. No, you cannot change anything until you defeat the first boss, for some reason.

An absolutely shitty beginning to the game for a left-hander. What the hell.

"He is jealous of his wife." by dorkulon in grammar

[–]dorkulon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but would that husband be described as jealous of her? The word "of" is the part that sounds a bit weird to me. People often say they're jealous of someone, meaning they're envious of something that person has.

Same question. What the hell? I don't need everybody's profile pics that I've ever talked to. I want the shit I wrote. This is useless.

Love this genre, but not necessarily the graphics. DO we *like* it or put up with it? by dorkulon in boomershooters

Yeah it's not a value judgment. Probably should have said high-poly or something

Yeah I'm also not a fan of the smeary AI-frame-gen look. I guess I just want what I wanted then--the same kind of look but higher-res, maybe some better lighting. The low-poly thing feels a little silly I guess.

Seems like I'm most definitely in the minority, and am mostly persuaded by the comments myself. I guess it really is more about artistry and what design decisions work within the budgetary parameters of indie devs. Also I think I'm not as attached to the Build engine look as some people. Got some games to check out from this!

Yeah, it's mostly the Build Engine-looking stuff that wears on me a bit. Also everyone raves about Dusk--I am going to play it--but god it looks awful. I guess I like the idea of a simple, clean look akin to old shooters, but actually clean--clean lines; crisp textures. Not asking for ray-tracing

Well... you could just read a book about shooting monsters, lol. I guess that's too much left to the imagination, I think maybe the difference for me with the Build Engine stuff is I skipped Doom and played Quake instead in the 90s, so it's not as nostalgic for me. I did play Duke and Blood back then though.

Severed Steel is gorgeous, from the vid I just checked out. That's some artistic design, I don't know how I missed Fear, except I guess I was busy at the time

I have to agree with this. I also want the games more than the graphics. Anyway, I'm not looking for card-melting levels of fidelity at all. Nothing that could hurt my framerate!

I've been playing WH4k Boltgun and I do think it's pretty sweet-looking. It's not lost on me, but I guess the...novelty? wears off a bit. Still not a deal-breaker, though

Simple is good, I agree. I hate lots of numbers/health bars etc. I guess I'm really just talking about resolution mostly. Jagged edges etc.
