I’ve been a fan for a while; played the originals, the remastered, and got Emergence (Cataclysm) when it launched on GOG.
I’m having a blast so far. It needs some balance work, but as long as they continue tweaking it I think the base game is entirely enjoyable. They’ve also confirmed mod support is on the way; I’m not saying that makes up for any deficiencies in the base game, but it will definitely add replayability.
God what I would pay for some sort of remaster or even a new title with mechanics like Cataclysm. That game was one of the best expansions I’ve played for a game.
It feels like this series is releasing 3 titles a year or something.
I’m sure it’s great but I haven’t even finished like a dragon yet, maybe I’ll get around to this in a few years once I’ve got the itch for more of the same.
No. Game switched it’s english title from Yakuza to LAD, just like it is in japanese. From now on it would be like that.
Gaiden was a shorter prologue game. IW is on the longer side and seems like it’s bigger than LAD. Plus Judgment 1-2, originally exclusives, found their way to Steam just recently.
I had the exact same impression but they had a long string of remasters to churn out for PC. Gaiden is more like a standalone expansion but swings like a main installment in content.
I am very curious to see how the release schedule changes with devs moving into full blown top seller JRPGs instead of story focused beat-em-ups.
The canon series order is basically:
Yakuza 0
Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2
Yakuza 3-6
Like a Dragon
Like a Dragon Gaiden
Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
But fuck SEGAs shitty DLC practices, I buy Yakuza games at half price or less as a personal rule.
Those are some incredibly favorable reviews. Always good to see.
I’m still about halfway through Like a Dragon 7, but i’m really burnt out from playing all the games prior to it, so i’ll be taking a look at 8 at some point later
No I did not, you seemingly want a by-date system for the site, which feels quite a bit weird considering how people usually use review sites. Hence the prod at your comment. Basically, adding a site like opencritic to an RSS-reader makes no sense, and I say this with someone running multiple custom filters over nearly 120 subscriptions for my daily news dose.
Hrm, I’ll be honest then, you’re the very very first time I hear someone wanting to consume game reviews meta aggregation in a chronological way (instead of by-game). Not once seen this sentiment before.
I dunno, it’s just not how people use these pages I would assume. You create search shortcuts for them, not RSS feeds. You want to look up what various reviewers at large say about a specific game, more so because this changes over time (so would a feed udoate each time the score changes? Only once on the very first review? Only once it stops updating for X time? What if that takes months?). It’s the polar opposite of once you have 2-3 reviewers who mirror your personal take well where you might want to know each time these people post a new review.
Here’s a second person, then. It shouldn’t be too surprising; anyone that works in games media will tell you that new releases are what drive peak engagement.
RSS can be similar to their Twitter feed, with a curated set of highlighted games once a certain amount of reviews are in. I already get a dozen feeds that have reviews in them anyway, and I often read them even if I’m not already interested in the game. Why not an aggregate? I’d subscribe in a heartbeat.
There’s no exact point in time at which “the aggregated reviews” are one finished article of news. One bootlicking review site will have its review of a game out in the first 3 hours to be the first place people read. Then, another detailed reviewer will spend a week investigating the game’s systems before providing a more nuanced review.
@chloyster I think you can still see my reply even though i deleted the other thread, but thanks again for the advice! For others that may want to post review threads in the future: OpenCritic has a “share” button with several options, and the “reddit” option formats nicely for Lemmy. However, the “share” button only seems to show up on OpenCritic’s mobile site, so you may not see it if you are trying to create a review thread on your desktop computer.
Idk. Some apps have link previews which def makes it longer. You also have the option of not including review quotes which shortens it. I don’t think it’s too bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve been playing it and I feel like its not quite the 80/100 I expected. Its probably closer to a 70/100 to me. Which isn’t bad, its just not reaching the highs Cataclysm/Emergence did. Its better than HW2, which had a pretty lazy heroes journey bs story. That’s not an accomplishment though.
The megalith combat is really great. Its more interesting than just deep space combat that the franchise is known for. The story teeters between compelling and boring. The ship designs are amazing, and the fact I can see the elements of Sajuuk present in the Incarnate is compelling worldbuilding.
I am outright confused why they are using CGI cutscenes over the drawn cutscenes Homeworld is known for. The combat feels pretty basic, its not as smart as HWR Players Patch. This was a problem with DOK as well. I fear it will share DOK’s other problem: it stops being interesting the moment the campaign ends, and i’ll never touch it again.
Homeworld 3 was never going to move numbers, i’m worried Gearbox set this up to fail. I really think this franchise should branch out beyond RTS and give us games to explore the universe that, at times, feels as huge as its ambitions. I’m reminded of a one-off Kiith from the Cata manual, where they lost everything on Kharak – their family, their other Kiithid; so they stole a freighter and a crusade against the Taiidan Remnant became all they lived for. As the bodies were stacked, their Kiith grew once more. That would be a badass game to play, a space sim like Freelancer where I am taking out the trash.
