Made it to chapter 3. Story and characters are surprisingly good so far, things starting to heat up narratively Testament of the Soul is a super dope feature too

Also seeing some random difficulty spikes around this point. Haven’t been too many encounters that have given me trouble so far but last night I fought 2 of my hardest fights yet and they were just sprinkled in the middle of some story missions

This is a game that will be appreciated later on. The gameplay and story are both very good. I am surprised by the lower scores.

A lot of reviewers have said the open world formula is “dated” but it really isnt any more dated than games like Ghost of Tsushima or Horizon. It’s just that those games are gorgeous to look at and are very visually stimulating while this game has frame drops in the rain and hella texture pop in so it puts everything else under a microscope

I'm already putting this over GoT because I prefer the RPG elements, story, and combat despite the Yakuza 0 graphics.

Sounds like you owe @Rekkapryde an apology

@DaSk8D00D is actually a reasonable bot at least

Loving this joint. I thought I was pretty far in the game and I'm not even close apparently. My parrying is ass in this shyt though. If not for the EPMD switching back and forth in the middle of the boss fights, I'd be food.

The combat is amazing but no way this better than Ghost.

No the fukk I don’t this game still does NOT look better than Elden Ring and I’ve used photo mode for both

I still have GoT higher (game was like a 9.5 for me). This is right around 8.5-9 for me so far.
