Yakuza 0 had the best minigames.
I’m absolutely horrified at the disco minigame though. Difficulty is insane for a game that involves substories. Like, they nailed it with the not too demanding high scores in the arcade, then went opposite on that one.
I won’t be able to complete the disco and that pisses me off.

Though, I’m clearly losing before even trying by using the pathetic xbox controller dpad. This thing is not made for that.

I can’t finish disco. I even lost some hours just on the second dancer. Pretty sure it’s not good for my irl health, as it must make my already high blood pressure go higher.
But you can catch me several times a day doing some archeological digs in my mess to find the holy micro usb that would allow me to use a DS4.

Bah the sooner I let go, the better…
Uh, is there a way to use a DS4 wirelessly on PC ?

Asking for a friend.

There was official dongle and you can use Bluetooth.

It sucks that since EVGA stopped making GPU's, no vendor has stepped up to match their Warranty/Replacement. EVGA was the GOAT for that. :( Who is the next best GPU Vendor? I'm in the market for a 4070ti Super, but no idea who to trust...
If I'm not mistaken, Zotac has a 5 year warranty by registering the card on their website in some regions, but I have no idea about their overall reputation though.
This extended warranty is only available in some regions (for example in Europe), seems like it's not available in north america, for example.

Gigabyte has 4 years of warranty for some models (not all of them) during this year, by registering them on their website:

I love remaster and Remakes as good as the next guy over and would also love more of them,

BUT!
I find this notion of depending on Remasters to fill lineups questionable.
What happens when your current-gen line-up is buffed up by Remasters and Remakes from 5 years ago, what are you doing next gen? ReRemaster the game again?

Thats what Sony is doing with The Last of Us

I find FF7 Rebirth to be a huge upgrade over Remake (which I liked a bit, but not much more, it was just really boring for most of the game).
But I don't necessarily like that almost every "new" aspect is pretty good... because it was awful in Remake (like I, among many, complained about). Like the new skill tree giving you access to elemental attacks without having to fuck around with the materia every single damn fight, it's good now because it as awfully annoying...
My review of Remake would easily lose a couple points now. And that's going to suck a lot for the complete collection when the first game will be just bad compared to the rest.

No idea why there are still so many tight squeezes to hide loadings, when it really shouldn't be needed in this game... I wonder if it's a relic of the original design of the trilogy or if it was made with PS4 in mind a while ago? It will help a bit older PCs, I guess.

The Steam Deck OLED, is more expensive than the Switch OLED, doesn't have a battery life as good as the Switch OLED,
Pretty sure this is not the case if like for like content at same settings/resolution/framerate would be compared.

Yeah, I think so too. The OLED Deck got a pretty substantial boost to battery life. I doubt there's much of a difference when running identical content. I don't have any data though, just my experience with both machines.

It’s only feasible as a short term fix.

Anyone pumping out remasters and trading on nostalgia I going to run out of road pretty quickly.

Sony remastering the remaster of The Last of Us is absurd, especially when they have lots of other IP they could give a new lease of life to.

I think it shows a lack of imagination and boldness on the part of the publishing arm, and I think it will end badly for them in the long run.

You need new IP's or side-projects of existing IP. And make four to eight 10-50 million projects in 2-4 years instead of one 200 million in 6-8.
At least one of those projects will be the next TLOU or Uncharted.

Is there no there way than install the third party app whose name I forgot (DS4Windows ?) to check the DS4 battery level ?

Err scratch that, Yakuza 0 Steam doesn't handle DS4 I guess. I still get Xbox prompts.

Thank you, I will use this if I can get a working DS4 on the game. Not a sure thing.
I just realised they removed that feature from Steam for some dumb reason, I couldnt find it in the new UI, and then checked and found it it was removed....weird; but hopefully you can check it via your OS

Out now



So, are these games good? I've been thinking about trying them out. I remember that there was a Game Dev Something game out and then several clones of it, is Kairosoft the dev of the original game?
This one?

Yes their games are pretty good/chill. Kairosoft been making these type of games for 26 years. Long running Indie studio.

I'll save them from bankruptcy. Too bad I won't have time to actually play it until like late April or May.
I also got the PS5 CE as well. I decided to just cancel the Switch CE that I had on pre-order I look forward to getting the game.





Crazy crazy idea. In Japan does ATLUS also publish Vanillaware games?


It would be crazy if somehow Vanillaware were able to snag the publishing rights to their own games on PC. There would be some growing pains, but imagine the money.


By which I mean it would be niche and wouldn't sell millions or anything. But imagine self publishing and some how selling between 100k-200k copies by yourself?


Does it work like that? Well no. But just imagine.

Damn, Vanillaware have been working on Unicorn Overlord for 10 years? For some reason, I just assumed it was a smaller game they had started after wrapping up 13 Sentinels. Being a fairly small studio, I figured they only had the bandwidth for one project at a time. Then again, their size probably also explains how it would take them 10 years to ship out something like this, I suppose.

Anyway, PC releases when?!
