Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601

Kirby and the Forgotten Land+ Star-Crossed World (no, I didn't type it manually).
Some people enjoy gritty cinematic games about revenge and cycle of violence, some prefer colorful fun games that tell you to stuff your belly and nap for a while to be happy. Be happy and have a nice weekend.

Re: Preview: It's Mine's Time to Shine in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

Unlike many (if your claim is true) I played all Yakuza games in chronological order starting from the first one, and Yakuza 3 still remains the biggest leap in the series: I can finally freely move camera! That said, I doubt I will get the remake. 3 is still perfectly playable, I'm not particularly fond of Mine, butchered content is already restored on PS4 and so far all three Kiwami games were worse than originals.

Re: PS5's Incredibly Promising Phantom Blade Zero Sounds Absolutely Brutal on Its Hardest Difficulty

@Rich33 the term "soulslike" is really thrown around like there is no tomorrow. Lose resources on death - soulslike. Replenishable healing items on checkpoints - soulslike. No difficulty settings - soulslike. Can't faceroll - soulslike. I've even seen "block and dodge - soulslike". Namco shamelessly patted itself on the back for inventing difficulty when promoting Dark Souls and everyone gobbled it up.
