The great thing about the Yakuza/LAD games is that they could put almost any kind of mini-game in them and it just works, even if it shouldn't. Like I'm not even sure if this is the weirdest mini-game that has been in one of these.
I think the CMA was concerned about microsoft cornering the cloud gaming market with the acquisition, so granting Ubisoft rights to stream these games alleviated their concerns.
It’s simple, this is the one set between Yakuza 6 and 7 but also during 7 and then between 7 and 8, where you play as Kiryu from the first 7 games but not going under the name of Kiryu as he went into hiding after 6. Oh and this game is an action game, but the next game in 2024 also starring undercover Kiryu and also the protagonist of 7, Ichiban is a turn based RPG. See simple, lol.
I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.
From color to cut, the transformation feels personalized and naples hair salons well-executed. Staff take time to understand your goals and make sure you leave with exactly what you wanted.
Neat! Sounds promising. Funny, I was just telling one of my friends about G4 (the channel) today. I miss that 2000s/early 2010s vibe. Everything just went to major commercialization too fast and it took so much fun out of the hobby. I think gamers are recognizing this nowadays and trying to claw their way out of it and this feels like a step in that direction.
It was the game news source in print media, for many years. It often used to come with demos on a CD in the back of the magazine, so it was also the best way to try games for yourself.
I don’t think they’ll ever get back there, if only because honestly having a magazine to read was better than a website, imo, but I’m always tentatively hopeful to have another reputable news source in the gaming space.
It should also be mentioned that it was owned by GameStop, so back then it was not completely independent. Sounds like that aspect is different this time around; should be interesting to see how things unfold.
I was going to mention GameStop (I think most of us got it for ‘free’ with our GameStop trade-in subscription thing), but I couldn’t remember if it was always owned by them, or if they just bought it after it was big.
Finally got around to reading the article, and this part was a pleasant surprise:
…there’s a lot more on the way in the coming weeks, including the return of Game Informer’s print magazine. Our intent is to bring back the magazine bigger and better than it was before, and add a host of membership and subscription benefits, including an expanded scope to our videos, streaming, and feature coverage, while also broadening the range of experts and partnerships we tap to bring you those perspectives.
To your point, it remains to be seen if they’ll succeed, but it sounds like they are at least trying.
