@ShogunRok Aww, I was wodnering if there were side characters that didn't factor into the story like Hyrule Warriors, always a bit of wasted potential.
Nice to hear Opoona is at least some fun to play though, he's one of the characters I wanted to use the most.
Still digging through Tokuiden and just bought Orochi 3 so it's off my plate for now, but I'm a shameless Toei lover so no doubt will pick this up on cheap.
Yes, the new team that never made a full game, then horrifically mismanaged the first game they made is not at fault here, it's actually garrus_lover_420's fault for saying mean things on twitter.
From what I've heard, Kiwami is basically the original game run in the new engine with a few mechanical changes. Like, some of the animations are ripped straight from the PS2 game. If you're a Yakuza fan, let's be honest - you're going to buy this game anyway and be happy, I know I will, but if some of the game shows it's age then you want those new fans to try the most modern game that's also the best jumping point. If they're hooked with 0 they'll jump onto Kiwami.
Yeah I took the plunge and am really enjoying it. Seems it's a marmite game depending on what sort of horror you expect? Can I just say how ripe cyberpunk is for horror? Hope to see more of the genres meeting in the future.
I think it's important to remember that there's such a thing as "bad" and "good" pixel art. Luckily, lots of studios get it right, but naff pixels can really drag a game down too.
@Tasuki Rumour is that Marvel are trying to push down X-Men and FF characters outside comics because Fox has the movie rights and Disney want the rights back. So they're basically getting eyes off the product hoping it affects the movies and therefore get the rights back.
My issue with the game, that's stopping me from buying it until a heavy drop or an all in one edition is the fact that most of the roster is ripped from UMvC3, with the news folks being DLC, and no special graphic design. Where's the comic book effects like previous games? Even something like a kirby dot filter would be nice.
Oh and no X-Men / FF characters, but we all know why that's a thing.
Yeah I mean Scalebound was like 4 years in development? They must have had a lot of hope on that. In 2017 a Yoko Taro game saved a company. Not sure I'm in the same universe I was born in...
I'll wait till it's on sale. I'm not a huge fan of Ninja Theory (Only liked Enslaved, hated DmC) and it seems on the net to be a bit glitchy right now.
That's the problem with too many games coming out, I've got to be more selective.
Falcom love to take generic tropes and turn them on their head, probably the best world-builders in the genre right now. A port gives more people the chance to play their games, and you all should.
Yeah I think it's important to seperate Overwatch from these other games, because let's face it, Overwatch's characters aren't exactly unique. They're cookie cutter classes but wrapped up in likable characters and simple design that make them stand out more than usual.
It's like Paladins last year, this game just needs time to find an audience that appreciates its own quirks, rather than go "That guy has a gun, that's SOOOOO Solider 76!"
Interesting spin on golf games, but with Everybody's Golf and the fact I've started playing GBA Mario Golf on my business trips I doubt I'll pick this up, which is a shame.

Is Opoona fun to play?
Re: Site News: Join the Official Push Square Destiny 2 Clan on PS4
I'm keeping my eye on how content rich the game will be at launch before I dip my toes in, but I'll join when I eventually pick it up.
Re: Surprise! Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Is in the Works for PS4 Using Yakuza 6's Engine
Can't wait to punch a tiger in HD.
Re: Classic RPG Secret of Mana Is Being Remade on PS4, Vita, Launches Early Next Year
Looks like they're using the same engine as the FF Adventure remake you can get on vita right now. Hopefully those voices can be turned off though.
Still, I know what me and a few friends are doing over a lazy Saturday next year now!

Re: Gamescom 2017: Hellboy Hath Arrived in Injustice 2
Love how Hellboy has a different style to the other characters. Looking forward to giving him the dumbest armour available.
Re: Gamescom 2017: Dragon Ball FighterZ Collector's Edition Comes with a Goku Statue, Obvs
No special costume DLC from the looks of things, so not interested. But, urgh, "collectorz".
Re: Guide: Dragon Ball FighterZ Characters - Confirmed Roster List
If the leaked memo is right we've got a few nice characters coming up soon too.
Re: Gamescom 2017: Final Fantasy XV Gets Chapter Select and Bestiary in August PS4 Update
STOP DEVELOPING THIS GAME
Re: Gamescom 2017: Open World PS4 RPG BioMutant Gets First Trailer
Digging the aesthetic. THQ-Nordic are pumping out a lot of good stuff right now.

Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ Has a Fully Animated Story Mode, Plus Other Details
@ShogunRok I can imagine lots of what ifs. The last Arc Sys DBZ game on the 3DS had a bunch of non-canon stories and the like to mess around with.

Re: Dystopian Survival Game We Happy Few Swallows a PS4 Pill in 2018
I was interested when it was first announced, but the roguelike genre has just exploded since then...
Re: Review: Night Trap: 25th Anniversary Edition (PS4)
We live in a world where Night Trap got a rerelease and Snatcher doesn't. We should be ASHAMED.
Re: NieR: Automata May Very Well Have Saved Platinum Games
Yeah I mean Scalebound was like 4 years in development? They must have had a lot of hope on that.
In 2017 a Yoko Taro game saved a company. Not sure I'm in the same universe I was born in...

A long, long time ago way back in history
All there was to drink was nothin' but cups o' tea...
Observer and Sanic for me this week, a few will go in the cart until I next get paid though.
Re: Agents of Mayhem's Launch Trailer Reminds Us That It Isn't Saints Row
Deep Silver are just awful at marketing in general. They try to be like Gearbox but somehow manage to be even worse.
Re: Rumour: Okami HD will Paint a Pretty Picture on PS4 Later This Year
Let's get a Clover Collection going - Godhand, Viewtiful Joe 1&2, and Okami. Capcom loves compilations!
Re: Upcoming PS4 RPG Battle Chasers: Nightwar Gets a Cool Opening Animation
Looks great! (Please don't be a bad game)
Re: Destiny 2 Has More Tenuous Commercial Partners Than a Football Team
Remember when Monster sponsored CoD but airbrushed the guns off the cans? That was pretty funny.

Sooooo... it's a lives system in a moustache?
Re: Gundam Versus Open Beta Readies for Launch on PS4 Next Month
Just finished Breaker 3, so looking forward to a new Gundam game to play!
Re: Oh Dear, Middle-earth: Shadow of War Has Loot Boxes and Microtansactions
The only acceptable lootbox are skin based, tbh. Single player lootboxes need to walk to the other side of the desert without water.
Re: City Shrouded in Shadow Continues to Look Like the Best PS4 Game Ever
It's for preorder on the Japan store and you have no idea how tempted I am.
Re: Two Brand New Persona Dancing Games Announced for PS4, Vita
Maaaan, do I need someone with a link cable and Dancing Star Night to trade with to get all the songs???
Re: Rumour: P5R Domain Name Suggests Persona 5 Spin-Off or Enhanced Edition
A remake less than a year since it's released? No thanks.
Re: Sony Snaps Up Anime Distributor Funimation for $143 Million
Pretty big snap, with this and Fate G/O bringing in the bucks I guess Sony is looking for that weeb money.
Re: Store Update: 1st August 2017 (Europe)
I never got past the desert in Patapon way back when. Maybe I can now...
Re: Limited Edition Destiny 2 DualShock 4 Is Coming to Europe
A bit naff, tbh.

Re: Sony Confirms Dragon Quest XI Will Come to PS4 in the West
The constant gifs I've seen of the japan release make me want this game more.
Re: Guide: August 2017 PS4 Release Dates
Whelp, looks like the summer drought is over.
Re: Tekken 7 Pre-Order Bonus Character Eliza Is Now Available to Everyone on PS4
She's a fun character, and tbh £3.99 is still pocket change. IGNORE THE FACT I BOUGHT THE STATUE VER BECAUSE I'M WEAK I HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF MONEY
Re: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age Officially Announced for the West
Awesome, been looking forward to this.
Re: Review: Sundered (PS4)
Super Bunnyhop did a video on this, said the gameplay and gmaeflow was flawed fundamentally, which is a bit of a shame, I liked Jotun a lot.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
Didn't it get raised like 2 years ago as well, or did I imagine that?
My only issue is that eventually the price increases will make it not worth it, and when that happens I'll cancel. You know what we need now?
Knack permanently free for PS+ users.
Re: New Monster Hunter: World Gameplay Videos Detail Every Weapon Type
I have never managed to get super into MH, but this game is really turning it around. Hyped.

Re: Review: Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (PS4)
Unknown to Day One buy, not bad!
Re: Agents of Mayhem's Marketing Is Getting Really Desperate
@RedMageLanakyn Considering they're both Deep SIlver? Most likely.
Re: Review: Infinite Minigolf (PS4)
