New God of War rumored to be revealed next month in a State of Play
Also lol at Don Mattrick's answer to people who don't like the always-on DRM the XB1 was originally going to have (which would have ensured not being able to play used games for example)
New God of War rumored to be revealed next month in a State of Play
Good news.
That means they're making serious progress on it. Maybe 25% of the way done?
Rumor is it's coming Fall 2021, so if true they're way farther along than that.
If true guess I'll get a PS5 in 2021
how far did you get in sekiro scrah?
Not too far tbh. I have been spending more time immersing in Japanese to try to improve my comprehension and Sekiro doesn't really have enough dialogue to work well for that, so I had been playing Persona 4 Golden again but got kind of bored with that and have been replaying Yakuza 0 entirely in Japanese instead lately.
Sorry man, only way to learn the language is to immerse a lot in it so if I can game in it with lots of dialogue and reading it's like 一石二鳥 (killing two birds with one stone) tbh.
Talking about Yakuza, I'm hopping back into it.
Tired of getting two shotted in Ghost.
then do some ing rosetta stone on the side. gaming is gaming
Rosetta Stone is bull . When the am I going to need to learn to say This is a sea urchin. ?
Watch Inuyasha raw.
Right now I'm watching Sailor Moon (pretty difficult, lots of girly slang) and Shirokuma Cafe (much much easier, cartoon for young children) to sentence mine words from as well as the book Tobira to learn grammar from. Though I usually watch with Japanese sub les since I'm focusing on learning words and sentences to make reading easier. 20 new words a day (in sentences for context) with reviews in anki (it's a virtual flash card program) is pretty doable so far and it has improved my reading speed quite a bit in the month or so I have been doing it. Much more than when I was just doing exercises out of the standard first and second year textbooks (Genki I & II -- Tobira is one of the standard third year books). Here is an example of what I mean by the virtual flash cards -- here's the front of one card from Sailor Moon:
Here Usagi is complaining to her mother about not being woken up in time for school and she says
もう!もっと早く起こしてよ!ママのバカ!
Mou! Motto hayaku oko e yo! Mama no baka!
Damn! You were supposed to wake me up earlier, god! Dumbass mom!
And then on the back I'll have the word I wanted to learn and it's translation.. e.g,
もう
Geez / Damn / God /
But not the translation of the sentence since I only put a sentence in if I understand it other than say one word.
A question:
Why do you want to learn Japanese in depth like this?
Are you planning on moving over there where they hate foreigners like no other country I've seen?
Japanese to me is a cool language that I'm actively engaged to learn but not this deep. Basically I want to watch a show or movie without the subs one day.
I tried one of those dumb binaural sleeping videos in youtube. You dont learn .
Besides it's highly basic.
Because I want to play games in their original language, read manga, and watch anime in the original language. I'm also part Japanese so it's a cultural thing too. Even being very very far from fluent, I pick up a lot of stuff in Japanese games that's not localized in the English version of the game.
Also I need to add... the only way you're going to be able to watch TV and movies in Japanese without sub les is spending thousands of hours immersed in the language. So either move there or watch a ton of Japanese TV / anime / movies, play Japanese games, read Japanese manga / newspapers / novels, etc with no English sub les and no English translations. There are some things that are easy in Japanese like the sound system since it doesn't have tones like Chinese dialects or Vietnamese does, but most parts of it are pretty hard. The writing system is just a total mess since they stapled the Chinese writing system on top of the Japanese language maybe 1000-2000 years ago and then later created two "alphabets" (really syllabaries) called hiragana and katakana from those kanji, though those two are the same sounds but just different symbols (katakana is usually used for western loanwords for example). But there is no way to learn it without thousands of hours of exposure.
I def see it that way and agree at this point, in retrospect.
I was a xbox 360 guy. I did use that console as a home theater device, it was my home music steamer, etc. And basically didn't want to lose access to my old games.
BUT OF COURSE I HAVEN'T TOUCHED A SINGLE old Xbox game since I got the XBone.
I def made a mistake. Waiting this long for FF7R and missing out on these PS only releases suck.
you all, that Halo segment made me my pants glad they are going to be releasing it on PC from now on, literally no reason to buy an Xbox ever again unless of course there is a really nice limited edition console for a game i have a huge boner for like cyberpunk 2077
So far my complaints about Ghost of Tsushima are similar to Odyssey. It's a large, pretty map that's a pain in the ass to traverse (before you can just fast travel) with almost nothing to do. There's just a host of check-some-boxes activities like bathing in hot springs, writing poems, finding shrines, liberating small villages, etc. Of course you're basically forced to participate in these activities so that you can get new gear and level up your skills.
The combat and main missions so far (still pretty early) are on point though. I'm almost wishing this was less of an open world game.
I will definitely check out HZD, I have some funds in my Steam Wallet that need to be used.. I do have Sekiro and had the patch to unlock the FPS, but I ended up uninstalling the patch. Can't remember the issue it was causing but locked 60 FPS was better for me in the long run.
New patch out for Tsushima that adds a harder difficulty but also adds one that babies you.
For now, normal is plenty for me.
Nice, hard was getting too easy tbh
Haven't tried it tet, but the new lethal difficulty sounds interesting. I believe it makes all hits lethal (the enemy's and yours), with tighter groups on the dodges and parries.
