No you’re totally right, I wasn’t defending, just being pedantic. The body count and path of destruction of ancient never before seen wonders for treasure is insane. Nate should be in prison for the rest of his life.

It was a great sequel. Divisive story for some, but so much more interesting because of that, than being the fan service some people wanted.

Not entirely true. From the beginning of the game to not far off the end, Nate thinks Sam wil be killed by a cartel boss if he doesn’t find it.

This looks ace. Plus Persona 4 is on there too I just discovered...I wasn’t loving Lost Judgement anyways.

Between this article and the one about Tess ‘being done dirty’ I’m not sure what show the authors are watching. Gameplay mechanics from the game have been adapted, but not too much, which is how it should be otherwise it risks feeling gimmicky. Also we’re only 2 episodes in, this criticism is premature, plenty of time…

Agreed. Like, I’d be fine with “I think it was lacking, not as good as everyone usually says” Fine, I disagree, but fine.

Very poor. Vastly better actor?

Reads like an axe is being grinded.

I love Alien but that scene doesn’t work for me. Effective in it’s time, but it’s so clearly a guy in a suit doing jazz hands that it doesn’t fail to make me giggle.

Trying to play Lost Judgement, but I’m not sure if I’m enjoying it tbh. Finding it a lot drier the the mainline Yakuza games. Although I’m finding the story more engaging than the usual melodramatic ultra macho-ness (as fun as that can be, I can barely recall anything from the Yakuza games I’ve played).

People did actually complain about that. The reason it didn’t stick is the same reason no one wanted to ban acrylic paints to protect oil paints. Sure, you can create things faster with one, but the human hand and mind is still absolutely needed. Digital art still requires a skilled artist, with AI you are barely…

I’m not convinced scraping images at an industrial scale to be fed into and assimilated by a neural network and turned into for-profit tools, is the same as 'looking and learning' like a person does.

The data sets using art work without consent isn’t stealing?

A quote from Francois Chollet, and expert on deep learning who works a Google.

“Deep learning takes data points and turns them into a query-able structure that enables retrieval and interpolation between the points. You could think of it as a continuous generalization of database technology.”

“It is categorically…

Failed to finish it twice on the PS4, not going to fail to finish it a third time on the PS5.

Thanks for the generous response.

Any thoughts on the ethics of using artists work to train these AI’s without their consent? Do the data sets stop being used after a while? Could these AI’s be created without the data sets?

Don’t AI image generators rely on data sets comprised of artwork shamelessly scraped off the web?

I enjoyed it. Great character design and a banging sound track. I do agree it’s a very dense film in terms of stuff happening.

Has an interesting style, but it’s janky af and honestly pretty dull.

That’s actually amazing. I did notice he missed the lightning lighting up the nearest car, but this is so close to the original film, absolutely mad this was made on a Playstation.

I’m all for grey hairs, Kiryu should have more than a few by now, but that haircut is, as the kids say, cringe.
