@indigozeal: There was never any anti-female material. He was talking about a post progressive feminism dystopia when he was at his worst. That's like calling a dystopia post nuclear war scenario anti male material, because men built atom bombs.
Completely baffled by Gary Whitta's comments. There are almost no games on PS4 that are not on Xbox??? Sure,if you ignore for 2017 alone: Horizon, Uncharted, Farpoint, All of PSVR, Nier, Nioh, Yakuza 0, Persona 5, GT Sport, a million indies, SFV season 2, Guilty Gear, and more I'm sure.
More niche games, sure, but if you only have superficial knowledge, you shouldn't make qualitative statements.
Ok now I reached the part where Dan says "It's not a fun game to play." and "I like the story and funny stuff but none of the rest" and I'm upset.
This game is very fun to play for many people. That's not a debate. And while the combat system in Yakuza 2-5 is much more simplistic, the combat system in Yakuza 0 is great.
Edit: Done with the episode now. It really feels like Alex and Vinny are compensating and trying to work around Dan's frustration. Also Dan broke the weapons without using the always possible heat moves after Alex warned him of that again. How many times is this now?
This is really tough to watch.
Last edit, here is how you do heat moves: NEVER DURING ANIMATIONS!
I love Dan Rykert, he is easily my favourite "new" hire.
Buuuuut let me join the choir of people asking for someone else to take over playing. He's simply playing the game wrong. I know that's a toxic phrase around here, and often for good reason, but it's still pretty much like watching someone play Call Of Duty who doesn't know how to or doesn't want to use L2 aiming and instead only ever fires from the hip and then complains about the game being bad and a fight being terrible because he doesn't hit.
Dan I love you, but it's true.
I think Alex would try to adapt to the game more, and Vinny would at the very least be less pissed off.
But please do something, this is reaching DSP Dark Souls levels, just without the entertainment value.
I love everything else about this playthrough though, it's the only reason I'm premium at this point.
Man this version of windjammers seems great, but boy do I not need these corporate hype men and women that game companies send to QLEXs these days. Just have some devs talk about and leave the entertaining banter to the Giant Bomb staff.
YES. Finally. This is probably the best possible team to take this on. I also really hope they don't shy away from the seedy, raunchy content in these games. In that regard, I can only wish for a laid back Jeff & Dan DoA X3 QL vibe.
@blackout62: Mercy's not viking themed, she's nordic mythology themed. And it's only called "nordic mythology" because northern germanic tribes were christianised a few hundered years later. Swiss Germans had the same gods.
@onemanarmyy: Yeah I was about to mention the white folk in Aurion, making this game a bad example for what I was trying to do. Also I don't think it's better that they are in there, I'm more confused by it, but perhaps there is an explanation or that's just what they wanted. Eh. Thanks for your reply anyway!
Also that overworld looks goofy in a kind of cute endearing way. But I'm not sure how that overworld feels after dark story beats of like rape.
