Something has to be done about people giving review without even playing or owning the game seriously this is getting out of hand lol These fanboys are pathetic it sad.

Should just remove user reviews. Literally useless imo.

Yeah, I can understand Steam reviews, people pay for the games and have the right to review it (like on the MS Store), but on Metacritic? Lmao

Opencritic is the far superior aggregate now: better system (a unified score among all platforms) and no users review bullshit. Moreover MC during the years got caught doing shady stuff, it’s the reason of Opencritic existence.

Literally saw Lost Judgment today having 2 point advantage on PS5 than Series X and my question was why is this even a thing?

…INISH Judgment and Like a Dragon, clearly this game wasn’t going to be for him, so I dunno why he had to put a review that has a title that’s going to give the game a negative perception when the majority of the reception is quite positive. And the points he brings up… can’t agree with them whatsoever. Considering it a detective game like LA Noire or something when that’s not the point, complaining about lots of dialogue when that’s a staple of the series and Japan in general, and the whole point with the bullies. And then the Game Informer review somehow expecting every culture to adhere to his perspective on things… and they barely even talk about the actual gameplay and combat. I find it to be no coincidence that most of the low-scoring reviews of the game are also completely ill-logical.

Of those three ACG seems to be actually positive about and he says why. Skill Up is one of those that have been complaining about some games earlier and I found myself absolutely not agreeing with him.

It will be a long time before I go near this game, I have yet to continue with Yakuza 0, lol. I did hear ACG say something about it only being ten hour? Which is apparently short for a game like this. Something about expansion too, I had to leave the room for a few seconds when he talked about that and I didn’t rewind the video.

No, it’s not 10 hours. Other reviews say around 20-30 hours, which is about on par with the other games. Plus there’s a ton of side content to extend that to 40-50 hours. And regarding the expansion, they’re releasing a 10 hour DLC for the game featuring Kaito, a side character, in 2022. That’s likely what ACG is referring to. Also you don’t have to play Yakuza before Judgment and Lost Judgment. They are completely self-contained.

Playstation will keep that for a bit because they have marketing rights for champions league and Fifa for recent years have pushed the fact they have champions league in the game

Playstation is also a massive sponsor of UEFA.

I fully suspect Sony partnership is the roadblock for crossplay.

Each to their own and I dont disagree with skillup. I didnt finish yakuza like a dragon. About 35 hours in I gave up because the story was progressing slowly and there are requirements to grind but those 35 hours I had a blast.

I still havent played judgement but After Yakuza 0 nothing seems to hold up to that level for me.

Huh, never really felt like Yakuza: Like a Dragon was slow. Well, maybe a bit at the start, but not afterwards. Didn’t really have to grind too much either, just a couple hours really. It’s better than most JRPGs I’ve found in regards to grinding. But anyway, there isn’t anything wrong with Lost Judgment not being Skill Up’s thing, but it just irritates me that the title is going to drive people away from the game because of people who sadly rely on the opinion of just a few people, and I feel like some of the criticism is unfair.

Honestly I actually would put Judgment over Yakuza 0. But perhaps that’s just me.

Cool. I am holding off for Judgement to end up on gamepass some time to try it out.

Beautiful movie, awesome soundtrack

You know what gaming take irritates me? “Ghost of Tsushima is the best Assassins Creed game”.

No its not even close to that. Assassins Creed has like 4-5 games that are easily better and the franchise lately has been dragged in the internet as some garbage fodder due to Ubisoft’s scandals inside the company.

Tsushima is legit not better than AC2, Brotherhood, Black Flag or Origins.

I fully suspect you and Knottian taking turns there. Systematic gaslighting. But tweets from Warren and Sams also don’t help. Lol

Just finished The Artful Escape, that game is one of the most creative experiences i have played in a while. Its just unabashedly itself and i love it.

Oooooooh, nice! My bad on that.

True, I can play it whenever I want, but it’s just that I really want to have Yakuza over with first (except probably LAD because of the combat system, I will check it out, but first Yakuza 0-6 and then Judgment 1 and 2.

@PhantomFox

Honestly I actually would put Judgment over Yakuza 0. But perhaps that’s just me.

Even the characters? Because man Kiryu and Goro are just awesome, they are serious as hell but can be total goofs too, which is great. Or is Judgment main character just as cool as that?

[power]

I finished Deathloop. It was good. What kept it from being great:

1. The story is largely told through documents/recordings and uses convolution as a facade for depth

2. Assassinating targets didn’t feel as organic as I felt the marketing had suggested since the game seems to have a singular linear path of completion

3. Incredibly easy on M&K if you play any shooters like CSGO or Valorant which I suppose is a testament to how good the gunplay feels

It’s Arkane’s best gameplay but possibly worst story for me. Otherwise, I love the aesthetic and the voice performances set a new standard. I look at this as a cool experiment for the Lyon team and am curious where they go from here.

Also:

I’m pretty sure Deathloop takes place in the Dishonored universe which is neat.
