There’s an easy solution… make everything before the 2000s public domain.

Suck it, Nintendo.

djsoren19, to games in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Is Officially Being Renamed, With Gameplay Reveal Set for June 11 - EXCLUSIVE - IGN

Damn, I can no longer jokingly call it Dragon Age: Spreadwolf. What could you replace Veil with? VagGuard? Doesn’t have the same kinda ring to it, too misogynistic.

Perfect, 10/10 no notes.

Let’s see how bad they fuck up the port this time. Not holding my breath.

DarkThoughts,

Really hope they learned from the Part 1 disaster.

WereCat,

To be fair the Part 1 port is fairly good now but the release was quite janky… But I haven’t bought it until it went on sale anyways so…

What was wrong with the 1st port? I ended up playing after finishing the TV series, and didn’t run into any bugs. I think I can recall having to restart maybe once cause a scene didn’t start. Beyond that, it was one of the first games I almost played twice just for NG+

ILikeBoobies,

On release it was poorly optimized

Even high end hardware had struggles, the worst part of 3d games is the cache though. That’s why some games put up a loading screen for it then load every asset behind that loading screen

A godot dev even recorded (inputs) a full playthrough of his then played it behind a loading screen at 10x speed

wait a year before playing it and it will probably be good

This will be terrible but I’ll watch it. The story in the games is soap opera tier but somehow it works as part of the full package.

This has infinite potential. Let’s hope they let the director cook and he knows what he’s doing. I’m totally down for live-action Yakuza weirdness.

On a side note: I hope it will feature a sad scene with the classical sob-story piano song.

An even sidier note: If we don’t get Bakamitai then gtfo.

I gave Amazon the benefit of the doubt with Wheel of Time. Never again.

I mean they also made Fallout…

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it’s because I’m not a Fallout fan, but I didn’t like that one either. I didn’t finish it, to be fair, but I watched the first 3-4 episodes and I found it nonsensical for the most part.

From people and animals healing within seconds of them injecting some sort of Jesus juice, to armor suits protecting against explosions and extreme fall damage but not angry bears, or people living for centuries in the surface but from the looks of it the apocalypse happened just two days earlier, with no one bothering to clean up their own house a bit. In one scene you see soldiers wearing thick metal armor flying around on helicopters, in the next scene there’s people using bottle caps as a barter resource.

And that’s just about the verisimilitude of the setting and the events. The writing felt very amateurish/childish for the most part. Again, I have no reference to the source material, but from an outside perspective, I wasn’t impressed.

The visuals are very good (not ground-breaking by any means, but they do their job well), but that’s the extent of the praise I’d give to that series.

Fallout’s success is on Jonathan Nolan, not Amazon.

Well then wheel of times failure is based on whoever wrote it too. Either way OPs comment doesn’t really make sense.

KuroiKaze,

As a wheel of time, invincible, the boys, and fallout fan I feel extremely targeted. I’m a Yakuza superfan so I will have to watch this but I hope they don’t mess it up. I’m still playing infinite wealth but once I’m done I’ll have completed every rgg game except of the end and that PSP exclusive neither of which I’m going to go back to.

@jqubed@lemmy.world avatar

Has Amazon Games released anything decent? I feel like I’ve heard they exist but not of anything well-regarded released by them. Like the only thing I can think of offhand was a tie-in game for The Grand Tour when they started streaming the show.

Cavemanfreak,

I’ve heard that New World is in a good place now. I’m actually planning to take it up again to see if it’s true.

Fl1ppyR34, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

They’ve already done a live action adaptation of the original game back in 2006. It was a bit… odd, and definitely not the way you’d wanna experience the yakuza 1 story for the first time, but it is an entertaining enough shitshow of a time for people that just want more yakuza.

(Also the entire thing is on YouTube but don’t tell Sega that)

Well they had better take the time to do some unnecessary karaoke scenes. Live action “24-hour Cinderella” or I’m out.

prole, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

I really hope this isn’t shit.

By “original”, I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?

KuroiKaze,

Yeah Y0 is too far back to go for a show I imagine

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I like the games but hate Amazon so I’ll skip it.

But hopefully the show itself is good.

stardust, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

I wish it was an anime adaptation so the voice actors could reprise their roles.

IntiPogo, to pcgaming in Sony Announces PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter for August

Expensive Adapter, no cable, less features … No thanks.

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly the adapter isn’t too bad price wise, but the lack of eye tracking is pretty brutal

ZC3rr0r, to pcgaming in Sony Announces PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter for August

It’s a shame some of the cool features such as the eye tracking and HDR are going to get lost in the transition. It might still be worth it to replace many of the soon-obsolete WMR headsets on the market, but only if Sony adjusts the price of the headset accordingly.
