What I love about Yakuza games is they don't beat around the bush. They show things such as prostitution, and show a male's perspective of how we view women, such as how the camera will often focus on a woman's body and breasts and move it's way up to her face. Anyways, a woman wearing a revealing, low-cut dress asked Kazuma to come with her for a drink, and the camera focused much on her breasts, as if it's trying to let you know what Kazuma would be thinking in that situation, and after some sexual flirting by her and a few drinks, Kazuma wakes up hung over, and with 100 000 yen missing! So me/Kazuma got conned by this woman, but this happens in real life and can be a life lesson, but SJWs will think of some way to make a negative spin about this. This is the woman who conned me.

Beat Yakuza Kiwami, and it was a very emotional and exciting story experience. I kinda knew stuff that happened in it already, because even though I hadn't played Yakuza 1, I've played Yakuza 2, 3 and 4, and these games show important story scenes from the first Yakuza game. However, witnessing certain events in Y1 first hand, and having them presented in a way you can actually feel them, it was totally worth the experience. Especially since they fixed up the gameplay mechanics too. For people who don't know, Y Kiwami is a remake of Yakuza 1.
I'm now playing Onrush, and so far it's been awesome. I'm not a fan of racing games, but Onrush makes things exciting, because it has the pick up and playability of Mario Kart, with the speed of Burnout. People say it's not really a racing ,well that's only a partial truth, it does have elements of racing within it, but it's not a 'who crosses first wins' type of thing, there is many types of matches, such as first team to reach a score of 10 000 through boosting and doing other things, or first team to occupy a zone for an amount of time, or the team that can drive between the most flags etc. It's presentation is nice, it goes for a cartoony and colorful style, which ligtens up the mood, but it has some 80's theme within it, which I love.

So, I'm a couple of hours into Soma, and so far it's been interesting, but frustrating as well. Basically, it's a Sci Fi horror. I'm not a big fan of first person perspective, it makes me dizzy, and the gameplay revolves mainly on solving puzzles (which gets tedious), but the disturbing things happening in the environment and the plot twists have made it worth it so far.

I beat First Light. It was short, felt like it only lasted 3 hours or so, but to do all the side missions will probably double the game time again. It was quite a moving story, although predictable. Although I like Fetch, I must say she's fairly naive and gullable for someone whose supposed to be a survivor.
But yeah, the endless speed, speed boosts and neon effects are gorgeous.
I enjoyed the race side missions a lot, but collecting all the lumens that are high in the air is proving to be a bit of a pain, I guess I will look at Youtube guide to see how to get some of them.

I gave up on the platinum because of combat challenges and having to rescue the hostages

I don't know why people are saying it's easier to plat than Second Son. Quicker plat yes, easier, no way.

The story for Soma keeps getting more and more alluring. I can see why people said Soma's story made them feel disturbed and depressed, yet they couldn't stop playing it. Something about it's mysteriousness and the disturbing sights of human minds put into robotic abominations makes it's story captivating, and it has some good plots twists here and there. See, the thought of human minds put into machines is something that people look at as being good and bad, but the machines in Soma look like junk or abominations, and the thought of a human mind being stuck in one of them is disturbing.
The atmospheres are great, I don't want to spoil it for you, but imagine cyberpunk and Bioshock combined.
I've also purchased Far Cry Primal. I'm in the mood to go on an open world adventure in 10 000 BC. I've read many things about it that make it sound awesome, such as creating tribes, taming beasts etc.

Finally beat Soma. A very thought-provoking story, and the psychological effects it uses are horrifying at times.

Begun Far Cry Primal. I'm lovng it so far, hunting and gathering resources adds a nice survivalist feel, and being ambushed by saber toothed tigers, jaguars , wolves and killing other cavemen from enemy tribes is fun. I like the concept of being able to start my own tribe.
So far, my lady friend Sayla isn't exactly the most attractive of women (maybe it's her haircut), but I love the survivalist concept of the game . Personally, I try to grow my own food and catch my own fish and I try to rely as little on consumerism and capitalism as possible.

Primal has been as addictive as expected. I like to explore it's open world, take over territory of other tribes and increase the numbers of my own tribe. I like the survival aspect, you need to collect resources to build weapons and to upgrade your village( which will increase the population of your tribe who will assist you in battle). Taming animals and using them in battle is fun, and I do feel a bond I created with my wolf companion, when I saw him getting attacked, it made me feel worried. If I wasn't trying to obtain the plat, I would give the survival mode a go, because it gives you limited stamina, making you need to be efficient with hunting.

I'm close to platinuming Primal. Just 3 trophies left, which are finding 80 collectibles, unlocking all skills and finding the Blood Dragon Easter Egg. Finding the collectibles means trudging my way through caves, which isn't very fun, and sometimes there's cheap deaths in caves such as areas being filled with poison, and if my antidote has worn off, I could get killed very quickly while being deep in a cave, and have to return to the start. Otherwise, it's been a fun and immersive experience, a great world to explore, and in some ways, it reminds me of a caveman Zelda game, because you'll be using tools such as a grappling hook to pull yourself up high ledges, and you have the melee weapons, a bow, bombs (you can use an owl to drop bombs on enemies or swoop down and attack them), and the way the game lets you wander it's open world and search for many hidden things. I've picked up Final Fantasy VII PS4 version and Valkyria Chronicles Remaster, and I'll playthrough them once again after I plat Primal, except this time I will be earning trophies while I play them
