Higher than expected.

i guess you have been fed....i mean programmed a wrong definition of plenty. A 1.30 min of a game definitely doesnt count as "plenty". Such trailers are released when a game is 8-12 months away to generate some interest. Also, none of the games from the green camp even have an approximate release window. Its clear you are ODing on those halo nail paints.

Some new additions to my amiibos

It's all we have.

Lol I knew it was there after reading here and I still couldn’t see, did hear it though. Solid first episode, though quite long. The fact that they went with someone like HBO and their pedigree for great episodic content, and the makers of Chernobyl for this instead of maybe using it as a way to introduce Sony’s own streaming service makes me think they’re doing this properly. Hearing those riffs just put a smile on my face. The title theme was one of my audition tracks when I was hunting for speakers, and is an aural treat. The expansive, created world is still compelling. Last shot was so, so beautiful. Makes me want to play the game again Ellie looks a lot less, for lack of a better word, girl-ish, compared to the first game. Only one complaint though, like with so many others these days, so much mumbling. About half the dialog is mumbled out. I mean, fkn enunciate.

A shoutout to Apollo (for Reddit) on iOS. With the new hashtag functionality for bookmarks/saved posts on Reddit, it is almost indispendable at this point. Such a great app !

According to today's Twitter trend, so does everyone else.

how much footage have you actually seen of these titles?

This Arsenal side... What a win! This Arsenal side of ours is something different. The hunger, the desire, the passion, the teamwork. It's all so positive... For far too long, we've always played like a second best team, especially in front of big-name clubs. Didn't attack much. Only kept posession. Play for a draw. So many times, our character was in question. Teams didn't fear us. I'm glad that the fear is starting to creep in. We're playing like we mean it. We're playing like we want to win, no matter what. This Arsenal side...

Predicting 67 meta

So done with the main story and almost 85% of the game and will target a first platinum for a yakuza game after spending almost 60 hours. Here is my review, Story & Characters: My view on the story is based on that this is my 7th yakuza game, so many people who are playing this as their first RGG studio title will have a completely different opinion on the story. One word that comes to mind after completing it is Refreshing, where the writers just didn't try to make it too serious. Ichiban as a funny, light-hearted personality is just the perfect protagonist to introduce in this universe after playing so many years with serious Kiryu. While the previous 6 yakuza games focused on the battle between the two big clans on a consistent basis, this one surprised me with how focused it was on just one small family and its characters. Overall, the story was a solid 9/10. Those who want to jump into the yakuza universe should start from Y-0 and then this. Combat: I was very skeptical with turn based combat and was kinda struggling, but as I tried to research all the components of skill, recovery and other special skills, the fun gradually increased. Now, all I can say is that this was the best decision made by the studio. In previous Yakuza games for me, it was all about button mashing as some of the long combos were pretty difficult to pull off. But now it is more about strategy, especially before you level up to 99 which I did before the final chapter. Felt kind of sorry for all them . The variety and creativity of the combat have to be applauded, with Poundmates just my favorite. Side Activities & Map: Sotenbori and Kamurucho maps were there throughout the Yakuza universe, but man Yokohama is huge with so much stuff to do. RGG studio just keeps coming with interesting side activities through their side mission characters and the way to link all those points ( personality for example) is just fantastic which kinda makes people complete the stuff. Music: Have to say, after Gustavo Santaolalla from last of us, nobody creates better music in the gaming industry than RGG studios. Whether its emotional, tension or a boss fight (oye the guy with the eye patch), they somehow pull it out off the bag. Below are some off my favorite from this one: Overall, now I am more excited for Yakuza 8 with Kiryu back than GTA 6 in 2024. And yes, my expectations for the story will be at the level of Yakuza 0 because it is for the first time we will have two protagonists again since that title. But, will now take a break from Yakuza and will jump back in for the Gaiden DLC in late 2023. Thank you for reading.

Also, TIME AGAIN TO STANDBY FOR TITANFALL!!!

Yeah harder than bb. I find it the hardest from software game and also their best combat.
