there are things in life called coincidences and i'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is one of them
It's in Valve development hell. Until they release it, the game doesnt exist as far as I'm concerned.
Proabably one of the easiest features to bring back willy nilly before they bunker down next week
At least they're not teasing projects that will never come to pass, such as Blight Club or the No Go Show.
This is very similar to Doom (2016). When I play Doom it's just running around with a shotgun. When someone that's actually good at video games plays it it's... art.
Buddy, I beg you, do yourself a favour and take a break.
It's very funny and Dan's earnestness about Shenmue is refreshing
I spent a whole Saturday trying to beat the last boss in Sekiro, victory never felt sweet, hell of a game.
Seeing him start up a lightning attack and realizing I finally had him is probably my moment of the year.

Completely agree. I felt like I didn't get to that phase until I was ready, and then I just had to execute. Was an amazing feeling of accomplishment.
For me it was fighting the guy in the tower when it finally clicked for me how the game wants to be played. That felt fantastic.
I played it pretty much like a Souls game until then.
this shenmue 3 quick look sure has some good moments
the endurance one must have to finish these games....

That first fight in the tower or the one Ben's on? That first one is probably the best fight in the game.
I can't watch the stream right now, the one where you fight the guy
who kills you at the beginning
Are you talking about Genichiro?
Because yeah, that's probably the best fight in the game. Caps off the first 'act' of the story and it's the ideal skill barrier. You feel like you've grown enormously over it.
Just realized that that's probably kinda spoilery so I edited my post, could you edit your quote as well?
I know folks don't like that kind of stuff
The last fight of Sekiro broke me in a way that no other FromSoft game did. It took me somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-7 hours to get it done. It was incredibly satisfying, but I don't know if I ever want to play Sekiro again.
I beat it after a few hours a couple nights a week for two week. The trophy didnt pop.
No worries.
I actually never beat him. Bashed my head against it for hours over several days and haven't touched it since. I didn't have it in me to get so frustrated at it.
I was in a state of mind I'd colloquially define as "Rage Focus." That is when you're so incredibly angry at a game that you refuse to let it beat you, even though you'd normally have given up in any other video game. After seeing the ending, I tried the optional boss a couple of times, decided "NOPE I AM NOT DOING THIS RIGHT NOW" and have not played it since.
Sekiro is also one of my favorite games of the year.
i enjoyed the last boss of sekiro though admittedly in the end it was about half execution and half sort of cheesey feeling manipulation
basically staying certain distances away makes the fight largely go how you want it to go, and then you just need to know enough to not have telegraphed lunges hit you in the face

Currently watching the Shenmue 3 quick look. I'm half expecting it to be a surprise Terminator tie in with the main character being the terminator sent back in time to when the first games were released
Can confirm, that is the best part of Sekiro.The best part of Sekiro:
Watching Ben figure out this boss fight is just a reminder of how *good* it feels to get "dialed in" to a boss' patterns.
Honestly, the last boss isn't that hard if you are extremely patient. I ran around just dodging forever getting in like one hit at a time after each of his combos. I also thought the fight was incredibly boring because of this lol, but by that stage I was starting to get tired of the game and I just wanted to get it over with. Fighting him the immensely boring way seemed quicker than spending hours learning how to optimise the fight and do it "properly".

I felt like i had gotten good at the game until i played the last boss. lol. The rest of the bosses i felt really accomplished when I finally won. The last boss just made me tired.
is there some sort of connection between those games of varying quality and genre
well, i guess i more just thought people didnt like crackdown 3 and were indifferent on metro

Just games i was hyped for, and only two delivered. Sekiro and re2
Tbh I don't really agree that 2019 was a bad year and I don't really understand where that attitude comes from in some people. There are loads of games that came out this year and there's plenty really solid stuff there. The 2014 comparison really undersells how bad 2014 was - people forget.
I do think it's true that 2019 didn't offer a ton of mindblowing or new takes on much - but a year of really solid, if well-worn, games is still perfectly fine with me. That and I suppose 2019 had some high-profile flops (Anthem, Crackdown, others I'm sure).

It ain't that bad. We got Baba is You, Wargroove and Ace Combat 7 in the first half. Second half was dope for Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Later Alligator (best indie I've played this year, or well... it's the one I liked the most).
next year just makes this year look bad because of the amount of obvious 5 star releases like one piece pirate warriors 4
