Yeah the original dub of Yakuza 1 is very clearly trying to make it more "american" for the audience and it suffers for it. It's also funny because Mark Hamill voices Majima, and he admits that he does not remember doing that at all.
I was sympathetic to this change if only because I regard it as better for privacy that removed and deleted comments stay that way, it's annoying that if you deleted something there was an ability to see it again. Most of the time it was used for drama and shit-stirring, although I will admit it's a shame to lose some important threads that were removed. Also they would never have backtracked on this part because I am pretty sure it's been a long-standing issue with GDPR in the EU and finally came to bite them.
I'm using kbin on a desktop web browser. I have several magazines I have subscribed to. Is there a way to see clickable list of just my subscriptions? Right now to visit a subscription I am clicking "Magazines" in the top nav bar and then using the search function. This is awkward.
Top right corner, you will see your profile name, click it for the dropdown into profile. Once you click it it will show you a bunch of info, what you want is subscriptions. You'll see a scrollable bar just before your overview, roll through it and you will see your subscriptions as a tab you can visit.
Interesting, funny enough there is a custom companion in a very similar vein to this one called Nebarra Nebarra's not an ex-Thalmor, but he is a veteran of the Aldmeri Dominion's War with the Empire. He's now a sellsword. He is quite quest-aware and has custom integration with other popular custom companions like Lucifer, and Xelzaz. This mod isn't out yet, so if you wan't something like it I would give Nebarra a shot.
I can't explain why I like this anime. The MC annoys me because he is whiny, and feels like he never really learns. The concept of returning back in time ain't new, hell there's entire genres based around this. But idk something about Tokyo Revengers feels fresh, maybe it's because the Mangaka was part of that life back in the day that gives it a weird authenticity despite it obviously being a very rosy view of Biker Gangs with a heavy dose of unrealism and mythology.
I wouldn't say even for the TMNT movie, it's clear that film is going out of the way to look good. Ever since the first spider-verse a bunch of Western Animated films are really dipping their toes into more avante-garde and unorthodox animation styles. The Last Wish was the same.
And why? For me its definitely Warcraft 3 Reforged. They literally made a quick money grab AND you can't even play online the old W3 without having to download 30gb of trash.
Agreed, The enemy placements in SotFS were deranged at times. The changes to Heide Knights were a mistake, changing them from cool wandering enemies like the Black Knights to being rarely encountered outside of Heide. Iron Keep got absolutely swamped with Alonne Knights in the upgrade making it a nightmare. Idk how anyone was meant to find the DLC keys without looking at a guide. Why exactly you find the key to the Brume DLC in that random pit with the Flame Lizards in the Forest of the Fallen Giants and not from the Old Iron King befuddles me.
I love Skyrim as a modding platform but I really feel you. So much has been lost on quest design from even Oblivion, much less Morrowind. I think Bethesda hedged their bets on exploration being the selling point way too much and it's becoming more and more apparent this has resulted in their quest design and stories suffering. First it was Skyrim, then Fallout 4, and then 76. I am not looking forward to the writing of quests in Starfield.
I am sure that it will do well, because most people love the sandbox exploration of it but imo an rpg lives or dies by its quest and story and I honestly feel as if Bethesda just doesn't have that in them any more.
Just finished watching this in cinema. The visuals are great and the music is even better this time than the first. However I thought the story should've been condensed and the ending is really unexpected. Does anyone else feel like it should've been made clear that this was only half a movie?
Yes. This movie drives me up the wall because there is so much to like about it, but the eway it ends is not good. When watching it at the theatre as it was getting close to the end, I was wondering how they were going to wrap up so much stuff soon or was the movie longer than I thought. When that to be continue stuff happened I was disappointed and a bunch of people in the theatre either groaned or actually audibly complained. I remember some kid shouting "WHAT!" at the top of his voice.
It also imo heavily ruins the film as it stands because it makes the entire film feel like a movie cut in half so I cannot enjoy it over the original Spider-Verse. Maybe part 2 will be great, but imo these two films are always going to be stained somewhat by the fact that they do not open and close well. There's been films that hint at follow ups that ended way more satisfying that this. Empire Strikes back, Dune, and Fellowship of the Ring come to the mind. Across the Spider-Verse doesn't have that clear closing but still hint for more that those movies did.
Honestly highly recommend Cyberpunk. I was never part of the hype train and played it early this year and was blown away by how much it made me like the world I was in. I might be biased though, because I watched Edgerunners first and bought it 10 minutes aftwer watching the last episode.
I can't explain why but there's something really special about Cyberpunk that's a thrill. I am looking very forward to Phantom Liberty.
I want to say wait for Phantom Liberty just because I hate replaying myself a lot, but if you can't wait the game is in an excellent shape. It's not the most deep RPG I've played, but if you like cyberpunk settings then Night City has you covered. The game also has some great quests and characters.
So if you are comfortable with replaying with Phantom Liberty, then go for it champ and get it now. But if you only think you have the stamina for one playthrough, the game can be quite long if you are a completionist playing the side quests and gigs, then I suggest waiting for Phantom Liberty.
Skyrim gets some hate these days, since it was first released in 2011 and although Bethesda is supposedly working on Elder Scrolls VI, we've seen practically nothing of the game. However, you have to admit that Skyrim is still around for a reason: it's fun, especially if you mod it, and new mods get released all the time. Since...
This is quite tough, personally if anyone want tos try out an expansive amount of Skyrim mods I recommend Wabbajack. It allows you to install modlists that are quite expansive and well put together. I used to manually mod my Skyrim back in the day but this is leagues ahead of what I could ever have done.
For singular mods/adds
ENB Boris, the guy in charge of this is a Russian reactionary dude who has some very unkind thoughts about anyone who is not straight. He can be a massive asshole at any and all times. The problem with this is however how brilliant ENB is, anytime you have ever seen a hyper modded great looking Skyrim it's not just the 4k textures doing the heavy lifting. I guarantee it's ENB that really makes it pop out. I really wish Boris would just idk calm down and chill out, but it doesn't seem likely. You can like the work without supporting the artist of course but just keep this in mind about him.
Project AHO Arguably my favourite quest mod for Skyrim, if you liked Morrowind and felt Solstheim wasn't really scratching that itch then you might love this. It really harkens back to old 3rd era Morrowind, the basics of the story is that there is a settlement of House Telvanni, Sedrith Kegran, hidden in Skyrim. You are enslaved and brought there and then begin to work your way up finding out that Sedrith Kegran is attached to a Dwemer ruin with a powerful Dwemer device of some kind powered by Aetherium. I love this mod for many reasons but mainly the setting, story and rewards. This mod is quite kind with what it offers you, which is imo fair because this mod also demands a sacrifice from your character. As a slave you won't be leaving Sedrith Kegran easily any time soon, so it order to justify the lack of freedom and time spent the mod offers great rewards.
Clockwork Another quest mod, I try not to spoil much about this one but the brass tacks is you head through a passage in the Velothi mountains upon reading the note of a treasure hunter/bandit that attacks you. All is not as it seems. Warning whilst this mod is generally quite a normal romp through Skyrim, it demands isolation, no companions, and the first part of the mod can be quite scary. It's the best attempt at horror I've seen in Skyrim to this day and I've played a fair few mods in my time. But honestly give this one a shot, it comes with a great home as a reward at the end.
AHO and Clockwork definitely have aesthetics similar, but keep in mind these were made before the Morrowind expansion so they won't share the exact same ideas of Sotha Sil's Clockwork City. There is a mod that tries heavily to tie into some of those ideas, but imo takes it a bit too far and is too zany in how it approaches that lore, It's called The Wheels of Lull
I personally hated this mod, but some people are very passionate about it and love it, it's definitely worth a shot if you like the concepts introduced around Sotha Sil's Clockwork City as it shares them.
You can play the original on an emulator. I prefer the aesthetic of the original and thing Blue Point made some questionable changes so I recommend giving it a go. But that said, it's a shame they haven't brough either it or the remake officially to PC.
Agree, it might seem an awkward conversation but if they're not idiots they'll realise you're looking out for them. You could leave an anonymous letter or something, but there is a good chance they'll guess it was you anyways.
I prefer Kbin over Lemmy because it feels like old reddit, and the magazines are a lot more like checking my subreddits than others. It's also not currently defederated with anything, but it's worth noting that could change at any point. Kbin is the fastest growing of any of the instances atm,
At the end of the day, the whole fediverse thing means, within reason, it doesn't really matter where you set up shop.
When hanging out with friends in discord or whatever, what games do you all tend to sit down and play with one another? For me it's some combination of Valorant, Guild Wars 2, and Omega Strikers but I'm curious what everyone else plays with their friends :)
Vermintide 2, Civ V, never liked CIV VI, Left 4 Dead, Risk of Rain 2. We are interested in that extraction looter that got removed from steam, Dark and Darker. We just haven't bother to get it through the BitTorrent links instead of steam. But we all love these types of games and dungeon crawling so it looks good.
For me personally, so far it's mostly neat. I love the simplicity of the webpage. But there are also some bugs here and there that are a bit annoying, though this is a community effort so it's justified. Still better than New [site which shall not be named]. Some notable bugs for me include the fact that the vote counters jumps...
I'm looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don't have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don't require a lot of skill or thought....
No matter how many times I try to watch one of these shows that use this clunky, low polygon count GCI, I just end up disgusted and feel like these studios just consider us all suckers....
There are some CGI I have never minded, personally I think the real problem with CGI is quite often it does not mesh with traditional animation. Like the infamous bear fom Golden Kamuy.
But then the Berserk movies and Promare shows you can have full CGI and work well as well as 2d/CGI hybrids and work well
As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."
To investors it also portrays utter ineptitude and an open hostility to the adminsitration of the site by a large portion of the users, and that Reddit is utterly reliant on said users to generate its value. Lord knows I wouldn't dare want to take any stock in this company, social media in general makes little profit and Spez has admitted, before a fucking IPO, that Reddit is not profitable. What fool would buy stock in this?

If you could play only 1 Game for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
And why? For me, i would definitely choose minecraft, it would just feel like real life after a while. Also add a VR and you don't have to leave haha
