: The Dragon Quest references are killing me lmao!
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: lol
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Even the music is like dragon quest!
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Now they are beating on a hobo lol
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: One of the party members is a hobo lol
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: omg level 9 degenerate
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Japanese social justice
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: LMAO! This dude is Professor Oak, collecting data on Sujimons?
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Bro, I NEED this game...
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: JRPG with contemporary setting
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: A rarity
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Interesting direction for the Yakuza series
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: I disagree
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: A massive step back in every sense
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: The Ryuu ga Gotoku series was meant as a spiritual successor to Shenmue
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: And the whole point of Shenmue was a type of real-time free-roaming that felt like a movie
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: And now they are going back to JRPG shit?
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: It looks better than the average JRPG, but it's not the way forward for anything
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Well, I meant it's interesting that they decided to make a turn-based game for an action series, but yeah
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: As much as I'm loving the Dragon Quest vibes I'd agree, it's definitely not an evolution
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: This is a mutation lol
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Jesus, this Pokemon gag is going extra hard
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: The references go over my head because I've never even tried these games
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Yup. As much as I love Dragon Quest I understand it's a pretty niche thing, especially for westerners. It's practically a household name in Japan
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Pokemon too
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Yeah
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Them Japaneses love their JRPGS
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: I know and have played Japanese games that even Japanese people don't know
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: It's just that I was never attracted to JRPGs and Pokemon
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: I know all of them by name and that's it
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: I have played maybe a couple hours of 5-10 of them
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: I'll say this looks more interesting than any of them
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: It's funny as hell, that's for sure
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: At least the story and dialogue are not inbred puerile dreck
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: It's extremely self-aware
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Its world is very interesting too
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: JRPG settings are bleh
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Those are real girl pics lol
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Some of them are pretty good. Like Shin Megami Tensei
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Yes that looks good
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Hell yeah. Gimme that JAV lmao
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: I still suspect the story and dialogue will be inbred puerile dreck
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: I've played SMT 1, 2 and Nocturne. I thought they were pretty damn good. You're basically recruiting religious and mythological figures from worldwide cultures in order to kill God lol
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: It was Pokemon before Pokemon, with demons, fairies and gods
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Dragon Quest Monsters also came out before Pokemon
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: He's right, you know
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Take THAT, Kume! You hypocrite fuck!
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Wow, this game is actually making a lot of poignant commentary on Japanese culture
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: I dare say it's quite...philosophical...
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Hell yeah, look at all them cuties
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: And this is illegal?! A travesty!!!
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: The city is like being there
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Yakuza is so good at making you feel like you're in Japan.
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: I've still never been there...
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: I gotta try making a trip before I die lol
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Shenmue was the original Japan simulator, and Yakuza continued it
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Yeah! I remember being blown away by the Sonic figurines you can get from the gashapon/vending machines. I was so happy when I finally got Knuckles, my favorite Sonic character lol
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: And the full Space Harrier game you can play at the arcade
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Your money gets cut in half when you die, just like in Dragon Quest
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Itadakimasu
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: I wanna go to Pound Town!
Prime Gamingmentalconflux
: Sounds legit
ModeratorCULTxArchonus

ModeratorCULTxArchonus

BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: All black people have this ability
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: LMAO!!!
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: He sounds like an actual black person speaking japanese. He's straining his enunciation.
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Dude, I love this game lol
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: Maybe shubn can share his library with you
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: I'll ask him
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: He's legit, shubn
ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: The Cult is legit, period
BroadcasterInsomniaCult
: So many great people, I am glad to have them
ModeratorCULTxArchonus

ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: A pimp who truly loves his girls. Wow...
ModeratorCULTxArchonus

ModeratorCULTxArchonus
: Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is proud.
