Slightly unfair to say, though. Hogwarts Legacy got a multiplatform release. TOTK only released on Switch.

Counter-point for fairness, It’s impressive that TOTK got that many sales on it’s own while being stuck on one platform!

Either way, 2023 was a good year for gaming. Lots of fun stuff got released and I hope we can keep this trend going.

Yeah… I already wasn’t a fan of where the series was going story and gameplay-wise, now I’m just gonna have to call it here. I think im gonna be taking a looooong break from Like a Dragon/Yakuza. I’m not gonna back this shitty behavior with my money. Even If this turns out to be a fun game, they’re saying “Oh, the STORY is 100 hours by itself!” No way in HELL that is all forward progress and gripping tales. These games have fluff and filler in their normal ~20 hour stories. I’d just end up losing track of things and burning out well before any the end of the game.

Gee, you were feeling poetic today!

Wow, thanks for the breakdown! This is actually very interesting to me, since I usually play either solo or with my friend group and ALWAYS casually. I just find it funny because “why wouldn’t you use your flare gun? You can see better!” Seriously, i love that thing. The power of the sun in my pocket!

Do scouts seriously not use their flare guns? I see this pop up here and there and, as a Scout main, I’m surprised. I use my flare gun every time there’s a sizable room!

Quick-time events but SPECIFICALLY the ones that give you way too little time to react. Like, I never mind them too much, especially the ones in the Yakuza series, but I remember there was this game on the Wii called Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings that would throw these inputs WAYY too fast at you.
