I've only ever played Yakuza Kiwami, which is a remake of Yakuza 1. Release order is 1-5, 0, 6 and then the upcoming Like A Dragon, so I'd probably do Kiwami 1, Kiwami 2, 3-5 Remaster, 0 (People love the shit out of 0 but seem to be disappointed when they play Kiwami next), 6 and Like A Dragon.

It's Steam, just wait a year and pick up for 50 cents on a 99%-off holiday sale

OH SHIT

>tfw got the Big Boss Emblem Only like 6 or 7 more playthroughs to go, but they can all be done on Liquid Easy, with special items, and healing, and leeway on fucking everything

Just beat MGS2 on Extreme Mode. You can only hold 2 rations and there's like 4 or 5 in the entire game (plus a certain point where you can potentially get tossed one or two). The Sneaking Suit made it mega goddamn easy to collect dog tags, but god damn some of those boss fights were a bitch. Just have to finish Hard Mode for the Platinum now. I did Extreme Mode first just in case it stopped me or got me to the point where I didn't want to play it anymore.

The MGSV Platinum is within reach, then I'll have a full mainline set (I'm not gonna bother with MG Survive, and I will play Revengeance but I consider that a different style of game so I won't worry about the Platinum because I'm not as good at those kinds of games). I've got one easily completable Side-Op left that I'm leaving for last, two hard-mode missions that I shoooould be able to do, one Subsistence Mission that does worry me, and a bunch of mission tasks in regular missions that I ignored originally that should be a lot more doable with better equipment and buddies.

>Only 18 of 160 mission left to S-Rank in Peace Walker >9 are vehicle battles FUCK >8 are Monster Hunter battles Somewhat FUCK but already S-Ranked them with a bro online so I thiiiiink I only have to beat them now >Date with Kaz Saving that one for last ❤️

They're late to the party because they're so used to not having third-party support that they forgot they even had Activision/Blizzard games on their hardware.

Everyone's gonna launch their own streaming services, probs just used GeForce as a testbed to see how possible it was

I'm at the Act 3 Bike Chase. Apparently the hardest part of the Boss Extreme Run. FML Eyyyyy, made it through the first two parts after a few hours

There was one mission with MGS1 Snake where you fight four successive battles in a row, if you die, you restart. First battle is one soldier (easy), second battle is a squad of 9 soldiers, some of whom are cloaked (I could pass it every time, but usually took a lot of damage and there's only one ration available), a third battle with 21 soldiers including 9 Arsenal Tengus (they fucked me up on the regular, there's a stunlock you can get on the Tengus with the coolant but you get grenaded and shot at by the other soldiers), and then a fourth battle with a giant monster soldier where you need to hid behind a box and shoot a fast-ass UFO out of the sky with a stinger missile before the giant slaps the shit out of you. Usually I was so weak if I got to this point that one slap and I was dead. I had one of my more badass runs where I made it through the third stage with about a quarter of my health but I had managed to save my entire ration, so I could take a hit from the giant, recover, and probably take two more hits, giving me lots of leeway to hit that UFO. Confident that this would be the time after the other 10-15 weren't, I dodged the first slaps, whipped out my stinger, fired it, accidentally nicked the box I was hiding behind, and killed myself in the explosion because I forgot to equip the ration. I don't throw controllers but that's about as close as I get

Day 1 Me Going Through All The Five Stages of Metal Grief Solid Day 2 Me Looks like I'll be attempting to 100% GZ at least ;_;

I'm watching walkthroughs of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, it's super interesting how so many boss battles, set-pieces and plot twists ended up being re-used in later games just because the games weren't well known until Solid.

>Starting MGS4 >"Awriiiight" >5-10 minute cutscenes after every 2 minutes of gameplay >10 minute mission briefing >"To get the first few emblems, stand in the same place for like 5 hours." Well, okay then

Also I just realized right this exact moment Liquid Snake/Ocelot uses Metal Gear Ray, an amphibious Metal Gear... because he's Liquid so ofc he rides something that can go in the water

>The Expanse from Telltale >Star Trek game from people worked at Telltale

Holy shit, they updated it

Only Platinum Trophy I have that I'm legitimately proud of

I've very rarely liked video game music that's re-done with an orchestra. It feels too high-brow and it tends to lose the "punch" of older video game themes especially. I've completed playthrough 1 of 8 of MGS4, popped the first 20 someodd Emblems. Doing the Big Boss/hardest Emblem next. Play on Boss Extreme difficulty, 0 Alerts, 0 Kills, 0 Deaths, beat in under 5 hours, use 0 healing items, don't use the special items (Bandana/Stealth Camo). This is some form of Hell, but it doesn't yet feel like the the worst of MGS2's Platinum.

God, man, the N64 has aged like milk

General Things To Know: PSN Profiles Trophy Guide Playstation Trophies Collectibles Guide (including Flashbacks, one thing they don't mention, in Act 4 you can only collect one of Old LA 2040 or Policenauts End Title iPod tunes per playthrough, you have to get the other in another playthrough) Playstation Trophies Emblem Guide (useful for grinding out Emblems on your Chicken Run especially) Boss Extreme Non-Lethal Ammo Locations Vash12349's Naked Run on Boss Extreme with Commentary (sorta Speedrunny, really useful commentary) Jaguar King's Naked Speedrun on Boss Extreme with no saves A New Game+ Run on Boss Extreme (This is useful for slow-and-steady tactics, easier ways to take down bosses with New Game + equipment, and for when you find you just can't do frame-perfect speedrun bullshit) I didn't find this nearly as frustrating as MGS2's. The bosses that fucked me up mostly did so because I hadn't learned the patterns yet or I had made it through a previous encounter with shit damage, whereas some of MGS2's had One Hit Kills and you had to survive for 10ish minutes against them, really only the third part of the Bike Chase is that hard and that's only if you try to do it Naked. Every area felt like if I just figured out the trick, I'd eventually make it through and the checkpoints are generally forgiving (there's a few in Act 2 that are the worst, and one of the tailing areas). You do have to beat the game 8 times to get the Platinum (I'm on #3 right now), but after the Chicken Run and Boss Extreme run, it mostly just takes between two and three hours to beat

Fuck YES, the Japanese PS4 remaster of Yakuza 3 was released in the west (3 was disc-only on the PS3), and 4 and 5 are going to release later on

Apparently I hate my life, because I just popped the trophy for completing all VR Missions in MGS2

@Mera'din There's only one trophy for beating the game on any difficulty. What's different in each difficulty level is the dog tags to collect, there's six trophies for unlocking the secret items you get from them.

Ho SHIET
