Re: TV Show Review: Like a Dragon: Yakuza - Generic Japanese Crime Caper Doesn't Do SEGA Franchise Justice

This will be on while I play through Yakuza 5 on my Portal. I was so excited for this show because I recently got into Yakuza this year and have already played through Yakuza Zero all the up to Yakuza 5 which I’m working on. Also played Judgement this year. I had a bad feeling about this show after hearing the actor playing Kiryu never played the game. Whoever was involved with this should be replaced imo and RGG should be involved throughout the entire process. We need redemption. Think of Haruka.

Re: Repeated Reports of XDefiant PS5's Death Greatly Exaggerated, Says Dev

Doctor_BK

I have been playing XDefiant regularly since launch. Being a huge CoD fan back in the PS3/4 era I love hopping into a couple matches at the end of my gaming session. I’m only like level 36 I think but playing a round or two most days has been a blast. The UI is so much cleaner and neater than CoD’s heinous UI. It’s a stark contrast. It’s also very light on pushing spending especially for being a F2P game. Definitely recommend it for some free, quick, fun.

Re: PS5 Pro Prompts Sony's Disc Drive to Rocket Up the Charts

I picked one up for my PS5 Pro as I always buy games physically when available. I have even been picking up physical editions of games I already own digitally just in case I lose access one day. For example, Like A Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name was only released digitally is the US so I went and bought a physical Japanese copy from Play Asia. Call me crazy, but I like to revisit my old games when some time has passed.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reportedly Has a Co-Op Game Mode in Development

@LikelySatan I agree Black Flag is one of my least favorite AC games. I’d recommend giving Syndicate a shot as it’s definitely the most underrated and Valhalla is an epic Viking tale that happens to have assassins creed attached to it, you’ll enjoy it more if you just treat it like a big RPG. When I started doing that I really got into it.

Re: Vince Zampella Defends PS5 Pro Price, Says 'It's Actually Not That Bad'

Doctor_BK

@nessisonett don’t forget cost of raw materials going up, labor going up, shipping going up, demand going up. It’s not just inflation that’s rising, since COVID everything costs more. The more I reflect on the price, the more I realize it makes sense. However, the actual noticeable difference to the naked eye seems like the upgrade isn’t worth it, in my opinion.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 541

@freddquadros I’m also currently playing Yakuza 4 as well, but still on the first chapter.

In between sessions of that I’ll be playing FFVII Rebirth, just started chapter 12 so I’ll hopefully finish that up next week. Also, dipping into my old playthrough of AC: Valhalla I never finished but have about 50 hours logged. Hoping to finish that before September hits. Trying to squeeze in some arcade shooting every few days as well with XDefiant and MWIII: Modern Warfare 3 (2023)
