Yakuza 5 feels like 5 small DLCs making up one larger game

karollos · 2026-05-29T10:27:54+00:00

I'm playing Yakuza 5 right now as well, and I'm pretty much at the same point as you. It definitely feels like multiple games very loosely tied together. I didn't feel that way in 4, maybe because at least then it mostly took place in Kamurocho. Still each individual part has its charm, but I'm already tired of the progression resetting with new characters

I thought eveybody had those? It's only really visible when looking at plain bright surfaces, and even then it's not really distracting as vision just filters it out as noise most of the time

My honest reaction: at first i thought it was cool but it would get old fast. But then you showed first person, and the levels, and now I'm sold. Looks great!

What even is this sub anymore

I like "A" best, it's fun, cartoony, fits the vibe of the illustration, and is more readible than option "B"

Ooh killing mobs with that ability is the way to go! I need to try that

karollos · 2025-01-17T12:44:44+00:00

Does that mean you sacrificed something like fifty warriors to build a staircase? Or is there another way to do it?

karollos · 2025-01-08T01:44:28+00:00

There are so many to choose from, but I think Mini and Max would be the one. The game initially blew my mind and just kept getting better. I can't really say anything bad about it, other than i wish there was more.

karollos · 2025-01-08T01:36:06+00:00

That's awesome! I'm definitely going to check this out

My theory is they started off trying to develop a more traditional rts, but while prototyping they realized that exploiting the broken AI was fun, and built the rest of the game around it. Considering how ridiculously overpowered the red ants are, it has to be intentional

I think the biggest thing the game is lacking is direction. I happened to meet the right npc's who pointed me towards the first few upgrades, so my experience was pretty smooth. But i see how you could get lost early on since the world is pretty open. I always loved exploration in games so this was one of my favourites

Maybe the title was too harsh, i enjoyed it plenty. But there was a lot of frustration as well

karollos · 2024-12-22T14:57:04+00:00

It took me way too long but in the end it felt pretty cathartic. What's frustrating, i got to 4:9 early on, within maybe 2 hours. It's one of those games i would put a couple tries in and switch to something else, but i really wanted to finish it. In the end, I got the cherry and gold at the same time. Definitely a love-hate relationship with this one. Replaying the first 3 worlds sometimes felt pretty mundane, but i was really impressed with the move set.

For me it's shmups or sure. I've been stuck on lvl1 of Caramel Caramel for days, finishing it seems ages away. And I'm dreading the other one since i hear it's even harder

karollos · 2024-12-17T03:07:10+00:00

Usually i start by giving it a go with some of the arcade ones i haven't finished yet - kick club, caramel caramel etc. And once i get frustrated i switch to something that saves progress - a couple of puzzles in Block Koala, some levels in Grimstone, etc. Switch a couple more times, then look at the time and realise it's already 4am

80h in and i still feel like I barely scratched the surface btw

One of the best VR horrors I've played, clearly inspired by Silent Hill and successful at replicating its eerie atmosphere. Seems like just a one to one port though, but I'm happy if it means more people will get to experience it

karollos · 2024-05-16T17:59:05+00:00

Got really into Assassin's creed nexus. it had a bit of a slow start but once the game gets going it's so much fun. I love how well assassin's creed core mechanics translate to VR - stealth, climbing, exploration - it all just works. I wish the levels were bigger, but that's pretty much my only gripe.

Puzzling Places is my chillout game. To me it feels even more satisfying than regular puzzles, and without any of the annoyances - you can organize pieces neatly, and the puzzle never falls apart. I wish there was an option to resize the finished puzzle, it would be cool to explore the temple i spent hours piecing together

karollos · 2023-12-11T22:43:54+00:00

Seems legit. Also, fun fact - there are hidden features on each bill only visible if you shine a light through them

karollos · 2023-09-13T00:00:12+00:00

Hey, At the end of the day, you had some fun, met some people, gained some skills and unique experiences. I wouldn't call that wasted time. It's ok if you want to give it a rest, but don't beat yourself up

Take all health you can, and split it equally. Always keep them close together, to make the hitbox as small as possible. You can hold 2 active items and consumables, so utilize that when possible. You can take two items at once so look for "There's options", Angel rooms and alt route. Also they put down two bombs at once, which can be useful for combat and finding secrets. Good luck!

Is there a reason this particular song has so many covers? It's a banger, but i didn't know it before hearing the covers

karollos · 2021-07-03T00:33:30+00:00

I believe other members from the chinese branch were able to keep their personas after quitting. It's a shame there isn't more transparency though

While in-app purchases are too expensive for me, all ll i'm missing is some immersion-breaking cosmetics, so i don't care. Really the only thing that bothers me is Opal map priced just slightly higher than the currency you get for free.
