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. Yep. An absolute gem of a game. Great combat, good story, and really accessible. I personally loved the CCTV side missions. Hacking the cameras and identifying the dealers was always fun!

Merzbow Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Square Enix published it, right? They were happy to sack off any IP that didn't sell millions upon millions of copies, Western games that actually did well were often said to be "underperforming".

I love the use of indicators when you need to turn instead of having to look at the minimap every 5 seconds.

That Guardians of the Galaxy game did alright too but got binned off almost instantly. Even with the considerable resources they can throw at a project they probably only want to deal in smash hits.

Merzbow Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Add the modern Deus Ex titles to the list, they did well both commercially and critically yet SE decided the developers shouldn't finish the story they started. I think the same team were put on to making The Avengers instead which was a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted November 16, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2023 Finished Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name All in all for a spinoff game I wasn’t too bothered about, it enters my top 3 very easily just behind Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon. Have two achievements left to get (the seedy Hostess Club ones) for 100% on it. Took just under 28 hours which for me is the perfect amount of time. I loved some of the other games but they become a slog after a while, whereas this one never overstayed it’s welcome. Some of the best side characters in a long while too. Great game.

The King Of Swing Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) As someone who actually thought the live chat minigame in Y6 was pretty funny, I hope we never see live action Hostesses, again. Edit. The gravure photoshoot minigame in Kiwami 2, is still the worst. Edited November 16, 2023 by The King Of Swing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the first job, it was wonderful. EDIT - Hmm, seems like you can’t “Share” the DLC. I bought and installed it but my girlfriend can’t play it and would have to buy it again on her sign in. That’s a bit shit. Never known that for any game. Edited November 16, 2023 by Keith Houchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might go for the 100% given the relatively shorter nature of it but a combination of Shogi & Pocket Circuit have beaten me and now I reckon I might just blast through the end of the game instead.

I mean 100% achievements. Thankfully Shogi isn’t necessary on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
