Did you start with the original Yakuza? Kiwami has a couple things that would feel odd to a newcomer if they don’t play 0, and the only reason you’re skipping Majima Saga here until later is because you moved 0. If you start with 0 then all the context needed for Kiwami 1’s additions and Majima Saga are available.

Plus, to be fair, we have had a massive number of newcomers credit to 0. It’s probably the favorite in the series now.

I mean, they were obviously going to add more modes if they want the game to be AAA. The Original games were basically a 5 minute arcade loop…

It’s the implication. Why would you have problems seeing a disclaimer that not everything in the game is culturally sound? (I just woke up and I can’t remember the correct word but basically…the game has problems, nobody should be uncomfortable that it’s acknowledged)

It makes them look weak.

How?

You seem to have this outlook that because a mod is “silly”, it can’t be removed.

I have the outlook that if it’s so silly nobody should care, then why do you care it was removed?

Not only that, your hyperfixtation on specifically this mod. This is the silly mod you pick.

Am I not supposed to be suspicious that this is the hill you die on? How many small mods get removed from nexusmods on any given day?

If someone cares so much this mod was removed, I am immediately suspicious of that person.

It becomes a question of “How does this benefit you?”

You’ve taken all this time saying “Moderators shouldn’t care”, but then you twist it by saying somebody cares. So why shouldn’t the moderators care?

it’s either a silly mod nobody should care about, or it isn’t. You can’t play both sides to weasel the argument you want.

Yet you care so much about it. Any other “silly” mods you saw pulled today, or just the potentially racist one?

Is it hidden? I remember it being pretty popular when it came out.

Did Wc1 even have a version with a cd-key?

edit: On that matter, doesn’t every version of wc1 require DOS or Mac?

Mainly Genshin/HSR/Arknights

Just finished Yakuza Gaiden so not much to do. Was great to play Gaiden though, it was invigorating to not feel like I was on a daily grind.

A lot of my gameplay is gated by friend availability atm, and they have not been available.

It will absolutely spoil. Ichiban’s partner is the main character of the original 0-6

Plus the Yakuza series really doesn’t care about spoiling. They will do what they need to catch up players who don’t care about that. So if they want to do a story point that requires spoilers, they will just tell you what happened.

I mean if you brag enough they can request a takedown, go ahead!

Pointing fingers with this kind of thing is silly. It’s obvious it’s because it drew attention.

Of what i’ve seen I can’t say anyone should be calling it a pokemon clone. It doesn’t even have an ounce of turn based combat. The monster collection is as close as it gets.

It seems closer to Minecraft/Ark/Terraria than to Pokemon.

Pirates aren’t porting anything. The closest you could say are the decompilation projects, but they weren’t made with pirating in mind.

I don’t know how I feel about this.

I feel like either you don’t care about this, because a lot of Yakuza fans will just play the game for the story and be done with it.

Or you do care about this and…I guess pirate it because NG+ being locked out seems kindof outrageous

It just doesn’t seem like an audience thats going to bring in much money compared to the outrage?

It’s not like you can even target streamers cause most don’t play NG+

I don’t recall it ever being considered a grown up game though. Even when Minecraft first came out most of the people I played with was more interested in playing WoW. I think League of Legends was around that time too.

edit: yeah 2009 was mid wrath of lich king, cataclysm didn’t come out until 2010. So that was way too huge a year for WoW to not be pulling most of the older players.

If you haven’t, look up Nicole Goodnight once you’ve seen it. She’s the Princess and there’s also a run where the team involved did a playthrough with live VA. Fun watch.

I mean, it’s because those are easier and less risk-prone. The things you probably want AI to be used for probably aren’t going to be ready nearly as soon.

And other AIs are being tested on masses so they just seem like novelties or annoying at worst. It’s just not at the point of having more serious applicable uses yet.

It’s completely fan driven so if thats the result, then fans trolled themselves

It’s usually people who weren’t thinking of giving to a charity until the charity host did it. And it’s usually also done for in return for entertainment.

So while there’s definitely an overarching goal to get something to a charity, it’s usually about grabbing people who would normally not think about doing it.

Lets see…

-Everything related to Bethesda’s mod scene
-The entire Touhou doujin scene, even including sold games/music
-Sonic games which included fans being brought in for sonic mania
-Megaman and Street fighter have huge histories in modding. Pretty sure megaman has an entire fan-game for Zero’s orgin story

So…That gives us Bethesda, Sega, and Capcom at minimum for big players, and Touhou pretty much shows you aren’t going to lose your fucking IP over this.

No, Nintendo really does just do it more often than everyone else. You don’t gain that rep absolutely everywhere just on hearsay.

…You realize that none of that is setting precedent, it just means you can’t pursue, right? You still can’t lose the IP even in the worst-case scenario, and the first example you gave even says that.

Copyright protection is effectively never lost, unless explicitly given away or the copyright has expired.

You seem to just really strongly want to justify Nintendo’s actions, which are not the norm across the industry for how IP issues are handled…

Like yeah there’s shitty IP laws, and shitty trademark laws, but they don’t justify Nintendo’s specific reactions.

…yeah?

IP is different from trademark though. You’re using them interchangeably.

The main difference being IP doesn’t have a “challenge it or you lose it” rule.

I’m pretty sure that only applies to trademark laws, not IP laws.

Wouldn’t they just argue you can use developer mode to install the extension? Or is that not available on mobile?

It’s a classic yes. It’s been re-released very sparsely though.

It’s kindof like a smash-bros like game with a simplified combat style and weapons, especially the second game where they added 4-player gameplay

If we’ve learned anything from the past, just give The Super Monkey Ball Monkey a gun

Didn’t that clause already go to court, and it was found to only apply to steam keys, not all releases of the game?

Except even without the fees games generally get released at the same price

You’re just licking someone else’s boot. Epic is by no means pro-consumer.

And yes, google is evil. But that doesn’t imply there’s someone good in this situation.

Probably the sting in the original Street Fighter II

Though there’s a sort-of full version in MvC as Ryu’s theme

A lot of games don’t even have menu music anymore, or it’s ambient and not really noticeable…

The three biggest (note, not only ) points

-It was patched over previous versions. You can’t play the non-reforged version anymore
-It removed features the previous version had. In particular networking
-It released with desync issues that would randomly drop players from the game. Wc3 doesn’t support rejoin so this basically killed maps depending on how severely they were affected (and note, it even affected normal maps. But custom maps suffered tremendously from this)

Like just given those three points: Why don’t you understand?

The fact you even say that custom games improved just makes me think you’re being dishonest for some reason…because it wasn’t some secret or even rare occurrence. 90% of custom maps were suffering it.

To be fair, judging by the fact it’s either incest or people getting knives/cleavers put up against their throats, i’m going to go on a wild guess and say it doesn’t paint it in a positive light. Maybe even suggests there’s something wrong with them.

Did they ever fix the desync issues?

I can understand the sentiments of the thread to offer alternatives

Just remember whats going to happen based on your own christmas as a kid, when you got “The next best thing”

Given there’s a lot of good picks, it’s still a tale as old as time.

Even a whale can decide to just spend more money on a game they like more. It’s not an endless market for companies to delve into.

The problem is had the No Man’s Sky team did nothing, nobody would’ve really done anything about it.

And even now there’s people who won’t come back because of the release issues.

There’s just no incentive other than whether or not the company wants to do it, not even much of a reward for doing so.

Very few games actually come back from that though.

And patches even existed before the advent of internet, they just were also rare.

That’s not a reddit thing though. People make one-offish comments everywhere. Maybe not in your inner circle specifically but in general i’ve seen a lot of forums and chat rooms growing up that are like that.

How is that a huge stretch??

I feel there’s a good number of people who would just take neither as well though. Yeah, 10m loading is better than intermittent stuttering, but then I better be playing one of the top 10 games of all time if i’m dealing with that.

…How did you get THAT from what he said?
