About Fate/Stay night :
I had too much free time it seems...

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tK8IaptTTMSNd_V36nSbov_4CEgs-8WIflR47mtZDWg/edit?usp=sharing
I really don't suggest trying to go through all that...

Also that list lacks Fate/Requiem

May I ask if your temps while gaming are okay now? You didn't answer lat time 😢
I'm sorry to answer that I don't know yet. I didn't have it in me to start one of the two big games I mentioned.
What I can say is that I still have to see a peak higher than 63. That's with playing Gunfire Reborn, which shouldn't be too taxing, but also emulating Drakengard. Probably interesting since IIRC emulators are far more CPU dependant.
I will post a follow up on these temps, and thank you so much for caring :photoblobheart:

Oh god, it's not my intention. I started listing big entries and went oh well, let's go fully in.

Will google Requiem asap.

Report post + warn user.
What can I say, FF9 was completely forgettable. I cried on several places in FF8 and 10 (I am including 1000 words in here), was sad on several occasions in FF6, 12, 13 and FF9 did nothing for me. I am disqualifying FF7 for being too mainstream fanboy-ie edgy

Now that I think about it, it lacks Tsukuhime too. I believe it is linked to FSN ?
Yes/No
Iirc Nasu "clarified" (for whatever is worth) that FSN and Tsukihime are different settings, but in strange fake and in FGO things blend a bit

I mean if you go at it like that then you should basically include everything ever made by TM since even "Notes" one of the earliest doujin by Nasu has/will have links with Fate (through strange fake and FGO)
Things don't mix until you reach FGO or strange fake so far.

TL;DW: Don't expect a "simple" arcade flying shoot'em up like Battlefront 2 or No Man's Sky, it's not on Elite Dangerous level on advancement, but there's a lot of simulator elements in the game. It takes some time to understand how to play. Squadrons is quite complex.

I really like Elite Dangerous, so Im happy about it. I have fun with more simple and "arcadey" flying games, but I feel more into flying games that are more complex. Part of why Im looking forward to MS FlightSim.

I know this is heresy here but for those interested in trying out FF14 I would suggest NOT getting it on Steam. There's some fuckery with the Steam version and it will require extra steps to get an account set up and ties you to getting all future expansions on Steam.


If you're into that, that's fine but just worth nothing.

What was interesting about the original Mafia game is that it came out shortly after the beginning of the big rush for open world games, which started with Grand Theft Auto III. While Mafia had some fairly open areas, it wasn't quite an open world game--and it didn't try to be. With this Definitive Edition, was there any thought to try and expand upon the exploration of Lost Heaven?

Honestly, not really. We wanted to keep true to the spirit of the original, which is this kind of linear, mission-based narrative-driven experience. That's really what we've stuck to, but with that said, though, there are some opportunities for exploration, and I think we call it out, even in that A Trip to the Country mission [which we showed off in the Gameplay reveal video]. There are several collectibles and things like that hidden in there. So, we treat the city as a character in its own right for all the Mafia games, but it really does serve as a kind of a backdrop to these missions. So it's more accurate to the original in that way, but I think for the fans who know the franchise, there's going to be many references in the narrative itself that they'll be able to point to. But like in the original, you can still play in Free Ride and the Test Drive modes, but now with the various new vehicles.

FUCK YEAH!!! BEST NEWS!!!

What's the deal here?

Are they delaying the Asia version for Chinese localization or it'll be published by a different party?
Dunno, literally what the press release says, that's from back then when it was announced

Details on the Asian region Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, Windows 10 PC, and Steam releases of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be announced at a later date.







Rise like a Dragon and take on the world from rock bottom in an RPG like none you've ever seen before.




Also available on Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, PlayStation 4, and Steam.














IRVINE, Calif., - May 7, 2020 - Just announced on Inside Xbox, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, an explosive new entry point in the acclaimed Yakuza series, will be releasing as a launch title on the next-gen Xbox Series X*. Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also be available as simultaneous release on the Xbox family of devices, including Xbox One X*, Windows 10 PC*, PlayStation 4, and Steam*. Yakuza: Like a Dragon Day One Edition physical pre-orders are available now at select retailers in North America and Europe. Details on the Day One Editionwill be revealed at a later date.






We are also excited to announce that Yakuza: Like a Dragon will support Xbox Series X Smart Delivery immediately on release, ensuring players only have to buy the game once and will be able to play it on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X when both the console and that version of the game are available. Cross-save functionality between Xbox One and Xbox Series X is also supported, so no matter when players decide to upgrade, they never have to start over from rock bottom.






The Yakuza: Like a Dragon Cinematic Trailer is now live on SEGA's official YouTube channel - check it out to get a first look at just what to expect in this groundbreaking new entry in the Yakuza series.





The Story Begins...








Yakuza: Like a Dragon is, at its core, an underdog story about fighting for what you believe in, even when you're at rock bottom. Our new main protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking grunt of a low-ranking yakuza family, takes the fall for a crime he didn't commit in order to protect his patriarch and father-figure, Masumi Arakawa. After serving an 18-year prison sentence, he returns to society to discover that the clan he once belonged to has been destroyed, its few remaining members are being hunted in the streets, and learns that his former patriarch may be the man responsible for it all. Facing an unimaginable sense of betrayal, loss, and confusion, he sets out to discover the truth. This is where Yakuza: Like a Dragon's story begins.





A Truly Outrageous RPG Like You've Never Seen Before








Along with the all-new cast and setting, Yakuza: Like a Dragon introduces a new dynamic RPG combat system that takes the genre somewhere it's never been before - present-day Japan. Ichiban is a diehard RPG fan, so to help him stay focused in fights, he imagines the battlefield as if he was living in one of his favorite games. In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, players will level up 19 different 'Jobs' far from traditional RPG fare - not Warriors or Mages, but Bodyguards and Musicians, with completely unique strengths and skills. Get ready to step into Ichiban's shoes and crack some skulls in style!





Welcome to the Underworld Playground








Even with so many changes, Yakuza: Like a Dragon still retains the core Yakuza experience, and a large part of that is the seemingly endless supply of hilarious minigames and substories spread throughout the city. Over 50 substories and a collection of never-before-seen minigames, as well as the return of fan-favorites like Karaoke and SEGA Arcades will ensure that players will enjoy their time in Yokohama to the fullest.





Yakuza: Like a Dragon is everything that fans know and love about the series, with several over the top twists for the next generation. Featuring an entirely-new cast of characters and taking place in the brand new and beautifully-realized setting of Yokohama, players can jump right into the drama, action, and hilarity that Yakuza is known for.





Stay tuned in the coming months for more information about the release of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, including more gameplay details, classes, skills, recruitable party members, and more players will encounter on their journey through Yakuza: Like a Dragon!




*The Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, Windows 10 PC, and Steam versions of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will release simultaneously in Western territories only. Details on the Asian region Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, Windows 10 PC, and Steam releases of Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be announced at a later date.










Character Introductions:

Yakuza being named as one of the launch games for any console has to be one of the craziest things ever given the humble beginnings of the franchise.

If I install Steam in another PC and I use my account on it, should I be able to set parental control for that PC only or I should need to create a new account for it to work?

That was my expectation too. I have yet to fully watch the JF video but I knew this would be something on the level of HOTDS and other semi-arcade games. Arcade with depth is how I understood SW:S would go.

My preference leans toward more sim-like games, toward the SCs and FS2020 just like you but I'm glad this exists, if only to flesh out the dangerously anemic spectrum of the current space-sim landscape.

Not heresy, everyone knows that no one should be getting MMO's on Steam if there's another option, the only reason to buy FF14 on Steam is if you want to have it there for library reasons (as I do)


As for Yakuza 3-6, as I have said multiple times, SEGA is treating 7 like a complete spin-off (if you watch the trailer you will know what I mean) so I wouldn't be surprised if we get those at the same time as Xbox, but I guess we will have to wait a bit longer.:blobclosecry:

If there was a red button to trigger the ejection seat on which Yves and every person on whatever passes for the general idea of a board sat, I'd be smashing the hell out of it like a maniac.

At first I thought they were trying to do good but the more we learn about the facts, the more I'm just, on a personal level, completely done with that company as a whole. I wish I could see what their creative output would look like without these incompetent abusers in the way.
