I noticed this morning that @JLM's copies of Shenmue 1 & 2 are still sitting in my loft. I think I might have had them about 16 years now.

What format are they on? Mini Disc?

Whatever Dreamcasts used to use. I checked my emails and it's actually 18 years ☠️

GD-ROM

That's why bootleg copies were actually downgrades with missing or lower quality music etc. Couldn't get everything into a normal CD ROM.

Bootleg Shenmue had far worse quality voices for example.

I still have your copy of Gregory Horror Show too

About 10 hours into Like a Dragon Gaiden (chapter 3) and I'm having a blast just messing about. 

The reduced map size makes getting around easy, to the point taxis are pretty pointless.

Haven't played with Kiryu's agent style, as much as I probably should. Need to get on that but yakuza style (basically his old dragon style) is just so satisfying. 

Got my arse handed to me at Pocket Racer ?

I’m still in Chapter 2 but i’ve done so much! The side missions are endless.

I’m the same though, never coming out of Yakuza style.

The Infinite Wealth demo at the end of Like A Dragon Gaiden is ace. The first minigame I came across is a Pokemon Snap sort of thing called "Sicko Snap", where you get on a bus and take photos of lycra-clad hunks who are getting up to all sorts of strange and amusing antics all across town. The full game will be well worth the 50-odd quid just for that alone, I reckon.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name - Ending Spoilers

Spoiler

The ending had me sobbing like a baby, I was begging for Kiryu to be reunited with the kids at the orphanage by the end and when he only got to see them from a hidden camera and he broke down talking about Haruto just felt like a kick in the bollocks.

Completed Sonic The Fighters. Classic Like a Dragon.

Same.

Completed Like a Dragon Gaiden. 

Took 22 hours with most side content done. 

Absolutely epic final boss fight and a genuinely emotional ending. More than made up for the damp squid that was the ending to Y6, imo. 

Did an excellent job bridging the gap between Y6 and Yakuza Like a Dragon. Also clearly setting some stuff up for Infinite Wealth, so I'd say it would probably be a good idea for those who haven't yet, to play this in preparation for that game.

Also I really hope we see more Akame in future games.

So I've completed Spider-Man 2. I 100% completed it, so I guess I liked it enough - but I'm amazed that the story has received the praise that it has. I don't know how to post spoiler tags, so I'll be careful what I say here, but who even needs super-powers when stun guns exist? Those sections are utterly mad.

Blimey, Sleeping Dogs is great, isn't it? I know it won't be a surprise to anyone that's played it, but damn. In terms of just picking up and playing, it was really intuitive and fun. I blasted through it. Probably enjoyed it more than GTA IV, which I wasn't expecting. Shame the DLC was rubbish, but what can you do? Also a shame it never got picked up more as a franchise.
