Community MetaSteam | June 2019 - Microsoft does what Epican't

[Arsene]

So I've never played a Yakuza game before, do I start with Zero, then Kiwami, then Kiwami 2?

PC only.

Its hard to say. Kiwami has less content than Zero and is the “worst” out of the 3 despite still being great, and going from Zero to Kiwami can be considered a huge step down.

Personally id recommend Kiwami > Zero > Kiwami 2 but you do what you prefer. Kiwami is the first game tho and is still good for first timers.

 

[Stevey]

I am ready

 

[curi0usBystander]

I just found the Photoshoot minigame in Kiwami 2.

Guys, don't forget to post about good deals and hidden gems, or just random recommendations, in our summer sale suggestions topic:

Community - Steam Summer Sale Purchase Suggestions

Figured I could get a thread on this started even though Steam is dead at the moment. What are some games that are currently on sale that you love and want more people to experience? A few of mine would be... If there's any casual gamers out there...

So far, we haven't even filled a single page of posts.

Team Corgi must be stopped

General question folks, whats the ratio of combat like in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider compared to Tomb Raider/ROTTR ? I'll be honest here and say I really enjoyed both of the previous Tomb Raider games and their general heavy combat focus (with a bit of exploration) but I don't really care about puzzles so was just curious.

Games or food?

Binging on games = Happiness
Binging on food = Obesity

Happiness > Obesity

You're welcome.

Indie titles and canned tuna?

¯\(ツ)/¯

See you get it!

I don't even know what to say anymore.

When's your Netflix special coming out Tim?

So uh, it's official...

Oh God, he's such a beautiful baby boy. I cried for the first time in more than a decade.

Canned sardines are better.

What's this about a race?

Hmm.. I think there's time for a little relaxation.

SoTR dials the amount of combat back a lot, and that which is there is a bit more predator-stealth focused than in the other games.

Valve messed up the moment there was no team cat. Shameful.

Also, my tokens still randomly change ever day, lol.

 

[NarohDethan]

33,300 tokens here, now I have choice paralysis about what to get.

I have a little under 46k and I'm having the same problem.

Righto, thanks for the reply I'll still get it eventually but nice to see where things stand with it.

They didn't want one team to be always so overwhelmingly winning! But yes that would be my team of choice.

 

[Tizoc]

I am curious if Max Payne 3 counts towards these point things. I played it for more than 30 mins. and I should've at least gotten a few points from it.

I think I'll get Tokyo Xanadu eX+

 

[Ex-User (307)]

Well, I raged about not getting enough tokens for a $5 discount, but now I've earned a total of 17,000.

Only problem is I spent them all on leveling my badge instead. Whoops.

I thought today was an appropiate day to start this


But I realized I'm not really in the mood after a bit, so back to Yakuza it is.

I bought it a while ago due to its soundtrack by Steven Wilson. Hope it's decent haha (both game and music)

Kiwami has many references to 0, so I'd suggest starting with the latter just for that.

Oh nice! It's one I've had for a little while but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hopefully I will soon.

Be aware that the game will probably crash at start-up after you've saved once.

Fix:

Possible solution for the crash bug :: Last Day of June General Discussions

You know, the one where you can start the game only once, see other threads. I fiddled around and none of the proposed solutions worked. Then I did this: - Go into the game's install directory - Right-click on game's .exe -> Properties - Compatiblity tab -> Chose Windows Vista compatibility mode...

steamcommunity.com

The game's structure also means you'll repeat parts over and over and watch cutscenes over and over. Kept my review negative even after fixing the bug.

Atelier interview: Finding the proper mixture for a niche RPG

The Atelier series of role-playing games focus more on mixing and crafting and exploring than saving the world, and that's just fine for Koei-Tecmo's fans.

venturebeat.com

Wow. PC is “dominating” Atelier sales in Asia. (Probably China)

That explains why Koei actually pushes PC versions of their games in Japan. Definitely sounds good for the future of Koei and Atelier on PC

This is great to hear and makes me think that Koei will keep supporting PC for the long term.

I just wish they would get better at their marketing game. They should try to better utilize Steam for hype, marketing, and SALES! It's seriously so rare for them to do sales. ... but they could probably stand to make quite a bit more money from PC if they would just discount things every now and again.

To change or not to change teams...

 

[fantomena]

Just wanted to say that this:


And this:

Edge of Nowhere

Are amazing.

 

[BO7AMMOOD]

To change or not to change teams...

It is quite the dilemma isn't it! On one hand you got to redo those quests, on the other hand it means leaving the superior team corgi. Decisions decisions...
