Just beat THUG2’s story mode — forgot how of-the-era this game is, like it was vomited up from the depths of the early 2000s

If anyone’s interested, I started up Twitter again recently, with all the weirdness on here. Right now I’m playing through Dragon Quest XI!

From the article:

Your protagonist isn’t voiced

There’s a special class of “science weapons” that will have special, ridiculous effects, like a shrink ray

There’s a full character creator even though it’s first-person only (you’ll see your character in the inventory, and if you leave the game idling long)

Your companions don’t have separate inventories. Taking companions with you just gives you more inventory space to work with yourself

If companions really dislike the decisions you make, they’ll leave and go back to the ship. You can persuade them to see things your way

No romancing companions. They considered it, but decided against it.

Companions each have a special attack (one named Felix does a double drop kick) but you can also equip them with whatever weapons you want

Hacking and lockpicking don’t have minigames, and are simply based on your attributes

There are six skills (strength, intelligence etc.) and for every 20 points you put into one (up until 100) you’ll gain a new perk

As in the creators’ past games, you can play as a “dumb” character with stupid dialogue options. Your companions react appropriately.

They’re still not sure if it will be possible to play through the game completely pacifist (but you’ll almost definitely have to at least kill some robots)

Robots aren’t sentient, but your ship’s AI seems to have a strange degree of personality

Tim Cain wants you to know there are a lot of drugs, but he’s not going to pressure you to take them

PRGE 2018 was very good to me!

I chose… Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

Discovered a new Pokémon in Pokémon Go last night!

The HD remaster of Shenmue I & II is so well done and clearly a labor of love on Sega’s part — sure, it’s gonna do well and generate hype for Shenmue III, but they really made this rerelease feel special. Adding in the Japanese language track and letting me turn down the resolution to give it that good Dreamcast graphics feel are great touches.

It has me wondering what other games they could give this treatment to...Jet Grind Radio/Jet Set Radio Future and Panzer Dragoon would be my picks for the HD treatment
