Also yakuza tends to use stuns as punishment which I can totally see why someone can hate.

Vinny: Did they show a trailer for 6 at all?
Alex: I don't think we want to look that far ahead yet though, I think we wanna save as much as that for ourselves as we can.
Goddamn this is good.

Still waiting on a sale for horizon before jumping in.
Isn't there a big $40 USD sale on early 2017 Playstation games happening soon?
Although I've no idea what that is in AUD. $1700?

Dan refused to learn how the combat system worked and got increasingly frustrated because he just mashes buttons. Its unfortunate because he did seem to like everything else about the game.

That's all empty space?
No, that's very much not jungle. There's more snowy mountain biome than anything else in the game.

Is the Yakuza playthrough worth watching? I never got time to watch it all.

I can see where you're coming from for sure, I feel sorta the same way, the environments are nice but just lack anything really interesting to do in them, a lot of open world games feel that way so I can't really fault them too much because everything else in the game is fantastic. For a game with such interesting character and enemy design to not have the creativity given to the environments in a lot of cases is disappointing.

Just played That's You with 3 other friends. They loved the game, although it took around 20 minutes to get everyone on Wi-Fi and able to DL the app. Everything after that was fun, which is pretty good for a free PSN game.
Guys, I was asleep.
Time zones and all. Good morning from Germany.

It plays fine
It's the level design and mission objectives that suck.
EDIT: Actually, I take it back about the game playing fine. Switching back and forth between the hover and squirt nozzles is a pain in the ass. The squirt and hover mechanics should have been on two separate buttons.

Nobody who lives in Germany expects someone who doesn't live in Germany to speak German.
No judgement whatsoever.

don't forget how the hover is like the least fun "second jump" in just about any game
that weird thing you could do with the ball in Mega Man 8 was more satisfying than the hover
The key to truly enjoying beast in the east is going in knowing that Dan's performance in the combat is an actual impediment to overall enjoyment. I learned to not care about how he does in the fights, and 17 episodes later (for me) I no longer get mad when he still fires off long combo strings into thin air for the upteenth time because of his button mashing and general inability to learn from his mistakes.
Acknowledge this now and you'll love BitE.

Explain to me why Jason was hired at the same time as Dan and he can't be Senior Video Producer at least.

Man, Dan really doesn't wanna be there during this BITE bonus episode huh? Making this kind of hard to watch. If they do Kiwami I hope Alex plays and they sub out Dan for Abby.

Oh come on, he's not going to suck the fun out of things by just being there. Having Alex on the sticks would be enough since Dan enjoys everything but actually playing the game.

You think Dan is going to pay MORE attention to the story if he's not playing and he doesn't give a crap? He's going to derail every single thing, that's what he does. I mean he played this and during the final cutscene he was going "Who's Sagawa?" lol

He also forgot how (Y0 spoilerz)
how awano died.
I don't even know if he actually likes the story.
Why is this a bad thing? Who actually watches the giant bomb plays trough games series to get the full story of the games? I love it when they just talk about random stuff or get up to antics, do funny bits, play guitar etc. If I want to get the story of Yakuza 0 I'll play the game myself. I watch Giant Bomb for Giant Bomb.
Would Abby be a good replacement in this case though?

Because Dan asking "Who's X" 5 times per episode isn't funny or interesting? The story is half the reason they're playing this, it's nice if they at least try to follow it. Dan made no effort. There's plenty of comedy in the fights and their reactions to the side stories and whatnot. not paying attention to the story (and Dan didn't, at all) is not a selling point imo
He liked when over the top stuff happened in cut scenes and fights, that's about it.

Her tastes aligns pretty closely to Dan's actually. Seems like it might not be her thing?
I don't really agree with that. Sure, they have a few things between the two of them that they enjoy, but I never thought much of it, certainly not enough to make me think their tastes align closely.
Plus, she's made it clear that her taste in video game stories is...very particular and I don't think the heavy-melodrama and long cutscenes of Yakuza would really be her bag at all.

We don't really have that much information true, but from what we have I feel it's not too far off.
