Yakuza 0 (PC)

Even as my first of these, I have to say, it's one of the best to ever do it.

It's difficult to pick a spot to start from: Yakuza 0 is strong on almost every front, and even its weaknesses are easily mitigated. The sidestories are delightfully zany and batshit, and them being so is actively important because the main story, an often especially grim and vicious crime thriller of the Asian martial arts cinema style, is all the more effective with a counterbalance and spread of tones in place. The core theme of money as power is directly integrated into gameplay, put plainly and comically as "investing in yourself" - not by getting a gym membership or training but by just absorbing cash and transforming it into harder punches (this distinction being explicit in-game, as Kiryu even thinks the man telling him this means the former before being corrected) - and then demonstrated directly in the story with money being nigh-magical in what it can let people do...or make them do, as it were.

Being set in the late 1980s, the tail end of the Japanese economic boom (its formal end is considered to be 1990), the time of vicious landsharks, increased awareness of extremely violent crime and a government-inforced cultural focus on economic growth and 'production', Yakuza 0's focus on money, economic activity and notions of power associated with them is its most compelling part, I'd argue, far and above its lighthearted side content. It casts a wide net and touches on everything from the legacy of World War II to racism to the extensive and unfathomable evil of crimes the yakuza engage in (often casually), to the culture of 1980s Japan and the effects the boom was having on people and their livelihoods. There's also a remarkable amount of focus on sex work, all treated as a normal thing, not with squeamish glee or puritanical gnashing. It's remarkably refreshing to witness.

About my only issue is Yakuza 0 as a brawler isn't the best; for the most part it's a sweet time but when the game tries to amp up the difficulty, the only ways it knows how to are just annoying to deal with and expose the cracks in its foundation. "Hard" enemies just block most of your attacks, or are immune to grabs (or both), or they can just armour through your own attacks and knock you down (something I despise in action games broadly). If an enemy starts comboing on you you usually can block in the middle of it, but only if you're facing their direction, otherwise you're eating shit and can't do anything. Outside of the evasive combat styles, evasion feels mostly pointless as enemies don't telegraph most attacks and throw them out basically instantly.

Gun-wielding enemies are a particular nuisance as they just auto knock you down on hit, and that hit can come from offscreen and is basically undodgeable when it is so. When the game's just about mauling dudes it gets by fine, but it lacks the refinement to scale up capably. But, also, you can load on cheap full-heal (or practically so) health drinks from word go at a drugstore and can pause to pop them at any time so it literally doesn't matter in the end.

I'm extremely taken with Yakuza 0, as I expected to be. I got 0 through 6 for £20 from one of GoodOldGames' special offer emails so now's the time to finally fucking crack into it, I figure. Of course, turns out what I thought was a free spot in the year ended up becoming remarkably crowded, but I intend to finally get on this. The kino has gone untapped for too long.

Example: 392502056-ipad.īy the way, the special feature is also available for the Windows Store: Here, too, only the mobile screenshots or those of the desktop version can be displayed. All you need to do is simply attach a “-iphone”, “-ipad” or “-watch” to the ID of the app. There is another special feature for the App Store: With Universal Apps you can decide whether you want to get screenshots of the iPhone, iPad and the Watch App, or for example only of the iPhone, only of the iPad or only of the Watch App. The default format is “simple”, alternatively there is also an ad with “compact”, “screenshots” and “screenshots-only”. How to get the ID of the corresponding apps is illustrated in the settings for WP-Appbox. The blind names are: amazonapps, appstore, chromewebstore, fdroid, firefoxaddon, firefoxmarketplace, goodoldgames, googleplay, operaaddons, steam, windowsstore and wordpress.

My response to MetalJesusRock’s video to other ways to catalog your game collection was worthy of a lengthy blog post..... so here it is.

I often forget smartphones apps exists, as I only really use my phone as a phone, or something to kill time when I'm at work or otherwise at home.

Here are some I have used:

Backloggery: A website to catalogue what games you have completed. Keeps track of your completion level and ownership level. Displays games you're currently playing Trend list shows comparison between games you've beat and haven't beat. Has a bit of a social network vibe as you can add friends, post on each other profiles, compare recent changes, and has some Twitch integration. There seems to be no database, so every entry is hand made by each user - so expect typos and other incorrections thanks to human error 

HowLongToBeat: More used to compare completion times between gamers, but has a  huge database of games, thus can be used to catalog game libraries.  I haven't used it extensively though. 

Steam: Obviously, Steam will show you all your Steam  games, but it has been improved recently to allow you to sort your library more easily and use Dynamic Collections which can grow automatically as you get more games, based on parameters like Genre, features, players and more. Steam allows you to list your non-Steam games as well, allowing you to list your DRM free games and games from other launchers. The interface is pretty visual, so you can use a custom image as "Box art" and there is a budding community of people making custom box art to use on Steam

GoG Galaxy: GoG made a big effort to make a unifying PC game launcher made to scan games from all major game store fronts, including consoles. Also tracks recently added games,  achievments, and hours plays. Feels a bit like a spirtual sucessor to Raptr, albeit not as robust. It's based on libraries from game stores, so "executable games" you may have on your PC won't be detected. You can add games manually, but I think they only work on games already on connected platforms, not loose entries from users. Anarchy Arcade : I'm possibly cheating here, but this is actually a free game on Steam. It is a digital world/sandbox where you can create your own virtual arcade by importing your Steam games. You can add various arcade machines, PCs, and TV setup that display and launches a Steam game with in the game. I'm pretty sure you can also have in world game boxes so you can make bookshelves or stacks of loose games with your actual game library

GiantBomb.com: This is bit of a misnomer, as GiantBomb is a game coverage site, mixed with a forum, social network, games wiki, and lists. You can use lists along with the game database/wiki to list your games. It's a bit cumbersome to use as a game catalog compared to other options, but many regulars have used it as such. 

Defunct 

Raptr: This was an AWESOME program that would scan your games libraries and also display achievements, ratings, and show which of your friends from which platform were online and playing. If I remember correctly, you could use it for chat as well and I'm pretty sure there some community/forum/social aspect to it as well. The best thing about Raptr is that it tracked what games you played and for how long. At the end of the year, you could generate a "This year in gaming" report that would show every game you played, how much you spent on it, which genre's you played in pie charts, and a bunch of other neat information. You could compare your report to friends reports as well. 

Favslist: This was used as a social network/tool to list your favorite lists of game related stuff, and non-related stuff. Since games was it focus, it had a huge community-created games database. Truly, you probably couldn't catalog a huge collection of games somebody like MJR, AVGN, or The Last Gamer would had, but it was awesome to make lists of "Your favorite fighting games" or "Favorite games of 1997" or "Favorite Characters". Unfortunately, the primary creator/owner, Pape Badiane died tragically and with it, the funding for the site, making the site spiral out of maintenance, updates, and eventually existence. Fans/former members of the site are apparently working on things in the background, and one of them on Discord mention there is plans to get the site back up, as the data/lists on there are still backed up somewhere.

Pathway, A Compelling Adventure that Lacks A Compelling Story

Pathway, A Compelling Adventure that Lacks A Compelling Story #pathway #review #gaming #games #videogames

Review

It’s 1939, the world is caught up in global conflict, and your friend Morton seems to have gotten himself in the thick of it. That’s about as much of a lead in to the story that you’ll need, Pathway isn’t so heavy on the story, it’s the epitome of ‘not where you’re going, but how you get there’ in the sense of what has drawn you out into the Middle-East isn’t what is keeping you there,…

So, I’m addicted to Grandia again. It’s such a good game. <3 I Love to play it every fucking time! I’m an adventurer, y’know?!

Was messing around with getting dgVoodoo working the ways I likes it with my GOG library, and was given a quick reminder of two things:

How much I love videogames.

How little things have changed over the years.
