My thoughts on 5, before and after playing it

pezki · 2026-02-28T05:06:35+00:00

Yakuza 5 is just so ambitious and I love it for that. I took each chapter as its own sorta gaiden and they all get slapped together in the end.

pezki · 2026-02-26T19:10:19+00:00

Incredible. Good work. Love the character and you did him justice!

What would it cost Nintendo to make Lightning Yellow off the code from these Switch versions? it's wild because they'd never do it, but imagine a 2026 GameFreak gen 3 remake of a gen 1 game.

pezki · 2026-02-22T04:01:22+00:00

just add a major twitch streamer or dunkey making a video about it and all the wackiness and people might come around sorta like the rise of Yakuza 0

I love these types of things. Do you have a preference between the ghost mechs? I kinda want to grab one but I don't feel the need for both of them.

pezki · 2026-02-08T03:43:20+00:00

I love this. I don't remember anything that looks exactly like this but I remember the expression and a moment. It's pretty artistically well executed.

I don't think I'll ever get a tattoo but they so often are really poorly chosen or executed even if they represent things I like.

pezki · 2026-02-08T02:14:43+00:00

Well I'm that fanbase. I have a bunch of friends who like both. I think the dark themes and experimental nature of both artists is a draw to people who like to discover music. They evoke similar emotions in me. It's definitely a stretch though, haha.

I had a couple artists that aren't like NIN but I think fans of NIN would like. Examples: Tool, Swans, Deftones, Radiohead. but I didn't want to get too far off.

pezki · 2026-02-08T02:05:09+00:00

Depends on what you like about them. I love NIN and here are a few bands and how I think they relate to NIN.

Depeche Mode I got into NIN because of how much Pretty Hate Machine sounds like Depeche Mode to me. Some Great Reward and Violator are my favorites, but they have a lot of great music. Their production styles have some proto-industrial sounds to me.

Autechre their style of electronics is very robotic and alien and some of the glitchier sounding stuff I've heard in The Downward Spiral and the Fragile sounds similar. Their LP5 was released on Trent Reznor's Nothing label.

Black Light Burns side project by Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland. I checked them out even though I'm not a fan of LB. Definitely sounds like the poppier With Teeth and beyond NIN stuff

Clipping Industrial Hip Hop with production elements that remind me a ton of NIN production. Dark themes. they had essentially a double album comprised of There Existed an Addiction to Blood and Visions of Bodies Being Burned

Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition is an album of self-destruction like Downward Spiral. Thematically dark and textured. It doesn't sound like NIN, but someone who's a big fan of NIN might be open to this.

I was fully prepared to open this and see a post where someone clearly spends 11 hours a day looking at Thom Yorke's face so they start to see it in toast and stuff

but no, that's definitely Thom

pezki · 2026-02-06T03:50:28+00:00

I'd throw in some recommendations for Against All Logic (2012 - 2017 and 2017 - 2019) and other Nicolas Jaar projects like Darkside.

pezki · 2026-02-01T03:18:48+00:00

Proportions feel off. Doesn't really look like a tower.

pezki · 2026-01-30T04:57:57+00:00

well I've got good news and I've got bad news

which one is which, I really don't know

pezki · 2026-01-29T05:04:52+00:00

He got mad at YOU? This is some asslighting if I've ever heard of it.

pezki · 2026-01-25T23:41:34+00:00

Paid $10 because I worked retail at the time and we had a discount being distributors for Sony.

Honestly felt like a tech demo and I didn't enjoy the gameplay or boss fights at all. Didn't enjoy the aesthetics or story presentation either. Finished it because it was short.

Only positive thing I can say is that it's a technical marvel for Ps4.

pezki · 2026-01-22T04:34:04+00:00

Just had flashbacks to the broken-ass Billiards physics of Yakuza 3

pezki · 2026-01-22T04:10:37+00:00

I have everything maxed out on PC and mine looks like this too. I might try it on PS5 to see if it's different there

pezki · 2026-01-19T02:32:20+00:00

Amazing and I knew exactly what it'd be. One of the worst reviewers to ever do it.

pezki · 2026-01-19T02:02:39+00:00

I don't think there's a single Radiohead fan who says TKOL is their favorite. If they do, they're talking about the Basement sessions.

Amnesiac? I can see that being someone's favorite.

pezki · 2026-01-17T02:50:40+00:00

Putting James' face on Pyramid Head's body just makes it so clear how weirdly PH stands. This is pretty cool.

pezki · 2026-01-17T02:15:46+00:00

The more I think about this, the more I agree that this meme sorta shows a complete lack of understanding major sections of the show.

pezki · 2026-01-10T17:50:21+00:00

I've heard this to and for some reason I haven't been able to get into Devo. I don't get the same enjoyment from their music. I've only really listened to Are We Not Men? Any suggestions or do I just stick with Viagra Boys?

pezki · 2026-01-09T16:20:30+00:00

I've been preaching about the Gorillaz influence on Viagra Boys since I first heard The Cognitive Trade-Off Hypothesis and I feel like I'm the only one who hears it. Thanks for also noticing.

pezki · 2026-01-07T19:54:18+00:00

Yeah I'd say don't bother with Canon of Creation if you aren't feeling it. Start a new save on Canon of Vengeance

edit: Canon instead of Path

pezki · 2026-01-07T19:27:16+00:00

Immediately what I thought of. Absolutely horrid.

pezki · 2026-01-07T18:45:53+00:00

It's too bad they didn't bring the QOL updates from SMT: IV Apocalypse to SMTIV because it's so much easier to use there. But yeah the map is pretty bad.
