Yakuza 0 Blues
August 05, 2018

I want so hard to love Yakuza 0 now it's got a very fairly priced PC release, but it actively fights me every step of the way. For one, it's buggy as hell. You have to actively trick it just to get the bloody thing running.

I installed it, and it crashed seconds later. Uninstalled, ran it, same thing. Tried numerous fixes and eventually got it to boot up by unplugging my gamepad. Second loading screen say "Real Yakuza uses gamepads"

First Impressions - Haven
April 21, 2016

My trip through Haven has been interesting so far. I’ve not been obsessively tracking every tiny change throughout the year or so I’ve been aware of its existence, but I’ve watched enough to see how it’s outgrown its stock RPGMaker roots and captured its own identity. You could, if you so desire, head on to Youtube to find years-old Let’s Plays of the game and watch people plough through the prologue and some of the first chapter. Everything you’d see is now obsolete.

Exploring [Dragon's] Dogma - Part One. Of probably one.
January 27, 2016

I don't know why I asked for a review code of Dragon's Dogma. No, seriously; I have no idea.

But that was cool; the release date came and went and I had two other games to plug away at, anyway. That was more than enough work without a fifty-hour odd game adding to that. A week past, I reviewed said games in an attempt not to let bloody Venter take an early marathon lead by reviewing more in a couple of weeks than he did for eleven months of 2015 when suddenly --

Jason Venter: Here is your review code for Dragon's Dogma.
