I would have given it a shot but the very first thing I was met with when launching it was a "failed to log in" message followed by a "starting in offline mode" message followed by a message stating I needed to log in in order to launch the game in offline mode, lol.
After restarting it a few times and getting the same string of messages every time, I just deleted it and moved on with my day.
Honestly one of my favorite games in the series. I barely remember how the combat was though given the rest of the game was so extremely good. Looking forward to playing the remake at some point though.
If nothing else, it's at least way better than both 4 and 5 with 5 just being overly long and tedious.
I like how he left SEGA partially because he did not want to just keep making Yakuza games and his first game after leaving the studio is...basically Yakuza. Good job. 🤣
I guess I would give it a 5 out of 10.
I'm not a fan of extraction shooters and these days I avoid multiplayer only games like the plague, they are just not interesting to me.
If I buy this at some point down the line, I'm 100% buying it for the single player campaign. I've never really been a fan of the multiplayer in BF even if Bad Company had a decent multiplayer component.
I'll probably buy it next year after I have made a proper gaming setup in my new apartment but I look forward to the new one.
I am proud of how my one and only playthrough of the last game ended with me taking the platinum, without using any guide. Probably why it took me 4 weeks or so to beat the game.
@Tr3mm0r It's been compared to something akin to Devil May Cry/modern Ninja Gaiden and based on the gameplay, that's exactly what they are trying to make. But supposedly it has a bonfire-style checkpoint system but instead of it reviving dead enemies, any slain enemies will stay dead.
Yeah...game still looks all floaty and flashy, no substance. And based on some semi-recent interview with the devs, it sounds like that's by design. Either way, looks extremely boring to me, like there's no oomph for anything the player character does and it doesn't even look like there's any hit feedback.
Hmm. Somehow this game looks even more questionable than when they showcased that one boss fight earlier this year. Like, all "style" and no real substance from any of the fights, and what's with the random fade to black 19 seconds into the trailer, in the combat encounter that had just started?
As long as the single player campaigns are still good, I don't care what modern CoD's multiplayer modes do. I tend to stick to MW2(the one on X360) and Black Ops 2 for splitscreen multiplayer whenever I have people over.
All that said though, I haven't played any of games released after Cold War so I have no way of knowing if the more recent campaigns are still good.
This feels like bait to draw in clicks. Like, anyone who follows either one of them on Twitter knows that this has been known since last year. I swear, western media these days...
I'll be skipping this based on what I've heard, namely that, apart from the visuals, it's basically the same ***** 20 year old game with the same problems.
A complete remake would have been so much better in my opinion as I never liked Oblivion to begin with. Then again...I don't even like Skyrim.
I guess they did release it on PS3 eventually but for me, it will always be associated with the PSP. Either way, it was a pretty good game but not as good as Tekken 6 or Tag Tournament 2.
I'll just stick to the Xbox 360 version of Tekken 6, never was a huge fan of Tekken 7 and I never got around to bothering with Tekken 8 due to its abnormally high price-tag at launch.

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
@RomanRiz
As long as the framerate is stable, that's what matters to me.
Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
So what you're saying is that this should be played in quality mode on PS5 for the stable 30 fps?
Sounds a lot like I'll be very fine with that.
Re: Round Up: Crimson Desert Reviews Are a Major Disappointment
Ok but why are they a "disappointment"?
It's a game.
People will like it, people will dislike it.
Just like any other game, movie, book, record, whatever.
Re: Crimson Desert's Mandatory PS5 Update Sparks Debate About Games Which Break Street Date
Yes, I am 100% ok with this decision.
More of this, if it's solely to combat pre-release leaks, please.
Re: Poll: Has PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Changed Your Relationship with the PS Store at All?
I don't really care about it.
Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports
@Yor-sama
In a perfect world, even Nintendo would go multiplatform, at least in my highly personal opinion that matters only to me and to no else.
Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports
It's a sad day indeed when Sony retracts back into its shell.
Games being multiplatform is always a good thing.
Death to console exclusive games I say.
Like, just look at how many games are still stuck on PS3 and Xbox 360 due to PC versions never being made.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Requiem?
I would give it a 6 so far, I think.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (February 2026)
Definitely Romeo is a Dead Man and Tales of Berseria Remastered.
Re: Crimson Desert Tech Analysis Raises More Questions About PS5 Performance
Hopefully there will be a 1080p at 60 FPS mode without ray-tracing and all that crap.
Re: Yet Another Live Service Game Bites the Dust, But PS5 Players Get a Full Refund
I've never even heard of this until just now.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties?
I dunno, would maybe give it a 5 out of 10? 🤷♂️
I guess I just prefer the remaster of 3 over this remake.
Re: Skate Is Placing New Map Area Behind a Paywall, and Fans Are Outraged
Oh no!
The free to play game expects you to pay for some content?
How dare they do what literally every other free to play game already does?
Anyway...
Re: Poll: Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
Both styles are good but I wouldn't mind a return to God of War 3's style.
Re: 'One of the Worst Decisions Ever Made': God of War Creator Tears 'Total Crap' 2D Title Apart
I mean, the game does look like a barely decent poorly-made cash grab so.
🤷♂️
Re: It's Not Looking Good for Fighting Game 2XKO, Just Weeks After PS5 Debut

This weekend I'm continuing to play Robotics;Notes on Switch after having finally beaten Fable II a couple hours ago.
Re: 'Respect the Original, But Don't Rely on It': Yakuza Kiwami 3 Director on Remaking a 'Rough' Game
Honestly one of my favorite games in the series.
I barely remember how the combat was though given the rest of the game was so extremely good.
Looking forward to playing the remake at some point though.
If nothing else, it's at least way better than both 4 and 5 with 5 just being overly long and tedious.
Re: Game of the Year: #3 - Split Fiction
I honestly forgot this game actually came out.
Re: Talking Point: With Expedition 33 Winning Best Indie Game, What Does 'Indie' Mean to You?
Indie means self-published.
Always has and always will.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is 100% NOT an indie game.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2026?
My most anticipated PS5 games next year are:
Crimson Desert
The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter
Yakuza Kiwami 3
Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Re: Ex-Yakuza Director Reveals Gang of Dragon, Which Is Basically a New AAA Yakuza Game
I like how he left SEGA partially because he did not want to just keep making Yakuza games and his first game after leaving the studio is...basically Yakuza.
Good job. 🤣
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (November 2025)
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road obviously.
Nothing else comes even close to it.
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
Oh yeah.
I gotta buy this one at some point.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give ARC Raiders?
I guess I would give it a 5 out of 10.
I'm not a fan of extraction shooters and these days I avoid multiplayer only games like the plague, they are just not interesting to me.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (October 2025)
Digimon Story: Time Stranger, obviously.
Re: Forgotten PS5, PC Game Lost Soul Aside Still Being Patched and Optimised
I would simply urge people to play Stellar Blade instead of this thing.
Re: Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive Legend Tomonobu Itagaki Has Passed Away
Huh.
Can't say I saw that coming.
Anyway, back to business as usual.
Re: Review in Progress: Battlefield 6 (PS5) - You Won't Be Buying This One for the Campaign
If I buy this at some point down the line, I'm 100% buying it for the single player campaign. I've never really been a fan of the multiplayer in BF even if Bad Company had a decent multiplayer component.

Re: Silent Hill 2's Overdue PS5 Pro Fixes Now in Konami's Hands
It's almost as if the PS5 Pro was a bad idea that got executed poorly.
Re: PS5's Incredibly Promising Phantom Blade Zero Sounds Absolutely Brutal on Its Hardest Difficulty
Pretty sad to hear that you'll start at phase 2 if you get to it and then lose.
Re: Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection (PS5) - A True Look at What Could Possibly Go Wrong
At least the first game has a pretty decent soundtrack.

Re: 'Increasingly Selective Consumers' to Blame for Underperformance of Blades of Fire
I tried the demo for maybe an hour before I got tired of its jankiness and uninstalled it.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (June 2025)
Definitely Raidou Remastered.
Re: What the Hell Has Happened to Call of Duty?
As long as the single player campaigns are still good, I don't care what modern CoD's multiplayer modes do.

Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger Disappointment as 30FPS Cap Is Confirmed on Consoles
As long as it's a locked 30 fps stuff should be fine.
Like, a 60 fps toggle would have been cool to have but it being 30 fps is honestly fine.
Re: Nioh 3 Announced for PS5, Demo Out Now for Two Weeks
Here's hoping they have learned to drastically cut down on all the loot this time but I'm skeptical.
Either way, I'm feeling very meh about this.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2025?
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk alone makes this month pretty great, amazing game with an amazing soundtrack.
The other games pale in comparison.

Re: Days Gone Remastered PS5 Amplifies the Horror Compared to Its PS4 Predecessor
So...what?
1440p at 60 fps on base PS5?
That's great news.
Re: Hands On: Oblivion Remastered Is Still Oblivion in All Its Glory, Crap Frame Rate Aside
I'll be skipping this based on what I've heard, namely that, apart from the visuals, it's basically the same ***** 20 year old game with the same problems.
A complete remake would have been so much better in my opinion as I never liked Oblivion to begin with.
Then again...I don't even like Skyrim.
Re: The State of Tekken Is So Bad That Players Are Hyping Up a Mod That Undoes Tekken 8
@IntrepidWombat
Dark Resurrection was on PSP though?
I guess they did release it on PS3 eventually but for me, it will always be associated with the PSP.
Either way, it was a pretty good game but not as good as Tekken 6 or Tag Tournament 2.
Re: The State of Tekken Is So Bad That Players Are Hyping Up a Mod That Undoes Tekken 8
I'll just stick to the Xbox 360 version of Tekken 6, never was a huge fan of Tekken 7 and I never got around to bothering with Tekken 8 due to its abnormally high price-tag at launch.
