Found this little gem in the loft.

Sadly it was wishful thinking trying to run it on the xbox one.

I know its 360 backwards compat so looks like ill be hooking that up.

Shame the one cant boot up its 360 emulator and then that boot up its classic emulator.

So yea was going to be playing this atm, but not now

I'm at chapter 6 in Yakuza 3, focusing on finishing as many substories as possible before advancing to another major plot point. It's fun, there even was one substory about transgender masseuse falling in love with her client, they handled it pretty good. At the same time modern "woke" culture couldn't accept this:

Yakuza 3 Remastered Has Removed A Transphobic Sidequest

The remastered version of Yakuza 3 has removed several sidequests that featured a transphobic NPC.

Ps.
I guess no-one minded this:

Witcher 2 is all I'm playing these days. I jist can't get enough. I'm seriously considering reading the books to get the whole picture. Though tbh Geralt's day to day life bores me.

Is there a specific publication or website which details the world lore? Like the council of mages, old civilization, past wars, current kingdoms etc?

There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of videos covering all that you ask. The problem is so many true fan(atic)s have made them, you could get lost trying to swim through the extreme details. Not all of it is accurate, and some is even only guessed at.

The ones I gave should give you a bit more general info, with the last one being just on the mages. It’s also an example of how deep you can dive into the material.

Ok. I've bookmarked your post and will look at it later.

Chapter 10 now in Y3. Getting close to the end, I'm not going to bother with hostesses and cabaret club (which is terrible from design standpoint). Main story remains interesting.

If the cabaret club minigame is similar to the one in Y0, I'd say it's pretty fun.

Finished Witcher 1 and now 2. It was an incredible journey. The last time a game story moved me so was Mass Effect trilogy. Though I have to admit I didn’t complete ME3.

Though I didn’t get to see alternative choices that I didn’t choose, I believe in "no regrets". Though I did save beforehand and got to see the consequences. Capturing Iorveth the elf for example. Letting him go initiates non-human pogrom by the area ruler. Though he'll get executed, the toll is too much. Therefore I had to let the scumbag live.

The next choice came suddenly and a goigle search told me it was the game's main choice. I have to admit that I cheated here and looked up the consequences. I believe taking Iorveth's choice and guiding him to reformation (of his hatred against hans) is better than taking Roche's choice for a measly handout of getting to kill Loredo (the scumbag from before).

Ultimately it culminated in elves fighting for free land for every race. I didn’t read the consequences in detail so it was a nice surprise. Now I have to go and find out how Roche's path would've led me.

I left philippa to her misery to save Triss.

I left saskia the dragon live.

Ultimately I killed letho the witcher.

Like I said in my previous conclusion I'd make a joke of a witcher. Killer of men, saviour of monsters.

And lover of exotic women. Let's not forget that. Unlike last game I didn’t plough every women in sight. I was... tasteful. A succubus, an elf (I saved from loredo), a nilfgaardian mage I helped and Triss. Gotta say with the right mods, the game is sublime.

Can't wait to start W3 now. Though I have a question, I have the base game. Are the DLCs after the main game or inbetween? I might have to buy them now if it is.

Ooh lest I forget, fuck poker. I curse the poker god. Didn’t complete a single quest. Fuck rng. I ain't modding to win against rng, fuck you.

In mine I let philippa live (only slight effect on events in TW3). I also let Letho live. I was glad for that too, as It has more of an impact on TW3.

ShurikN · Feb 24, 2020

I know for sure I killed Letho, but for Philippa... ugh, I forgot.

Ugh. Now I hate telling you my choice. I can still let letho go since I had save before the fight.
In my defence letting Letho go just seems vain. I've been pursuing the guy the entire game not to let him go at the end. I also wanted to keep my promise to Roche that I would avenge Foltest's death even if I never meet him. Though I did let Sile go since she didn’t order Foltest's death. Letting him go just isn’t like letting Berenger go in the first game. Letho did nothing to redeem himself except explain his sob story.

In the end, no regrets. I'll start W3 with my current save. Writing this post strengthened my resolve.

You can do them after the main story, no problem. That’s how I did. I think for blood and wine you’re supposed to doo it I after, not 100% sure.

blood n wine quests are like lvl 30+ or something, you have to do them later in the game anyway

Calmmo · Feb 24, 2020

They both fit post-game, tho HoS isn't exclusively so. Level wise they are 100% W3 > HoS > B&W

Hearts of Stone can be played as a side adventure in the game, while Blood and Wine may be more suited for after completion of the main game.

I'm asking cause if they're post game expansion separate from the main story like separate option in main menu, I can start the main story now.
Buy the dlc later in a sale and complete them later.

But if they're inside main campaign, I don’t wanna miss them cause I sure as hell won't revisit the game.

And if I'm desperate enough I have to buy the dlc full price now which I wanna avoid.

Sadly, it is not. It's like a very alpha stage of what eventually became a great minigame in Y0.

They're both "inside the game". Hearts of Stone I think is a side quest type of thing. Blood and Wine is a location you travel with a whole new map. From the wiki, the events of Blood and Wine are set after the main story. So yeah, play the main game now, just buy the expansions when you find a good deal.

Hearts of Stone is beautiful. Blood and Wine is corny and fun with a good story. I advise to play the main story first and come back to the expansion especially since you'll need a pick me up.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

For me it´s the least interesting of the entire franchise. Cringe dialogues, bland characters, only worth for the non-stop action of certain moments.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall snagged me with the 1.2 patch and being $45 for the game + season pass on sale last week. I gotta say I can now see why so many folks enjoy this title, so far I'm finding it quite fun and more engaging than I expected. AoW 3 never really hooked me unfortunately but I know its highly praised by many. But what Planetfall has going on has been giving me that "one more turn" kinda feeling.

Vayra86 · Feb 24, 2020

In today's episode of KCD, we explore...

umm

UHMMM

Apparently, sitting down on a bench can have serious consequences.
