@Thrussted Why wouldn't the Yakuza games count towards the "Like A Dragon" sales? It is the same series, they just renamed it in the west. In Japan they're all known as "Ryū Ga Gotoku"
@Oram77 Wouldnt be surprised if Nintendo wants to announce those themself in their own Direct like they did with Persona 3,4,5. I mean there is no way a game like Super Meat Boy 3D isn't coming to Switch 2
Or maybe many devs simply haven't gotten devkits early enough
It's funny, I don't even have an Xbox and yet it's the showcase I'm most excited for since all those games come to other plattforms like PC or PS5 (and maybe even Switch 2) anyway
@Kidfunkadelic83 Tbh you can play a game like Genshin perfectly fine without much grinding/spending money since the core of the game is fairly easy. You can experience the story, explore the open world, do quests etc without a problem
It's just the endgame modes that require grinding/good teams and those only make up a small part of the game
When I was 8 years old I wasn't dreaming of owning a console that doesn't even exist yet, I would already have been happy if I had a console (not handheld, cause I did have a GBA) to begin with
I would have been the happiest kid if my parents got me a GameCube
But dont throw a tentrum and straight up lie to millions of people (yes, millions of people saw her tweet) just because they weren't willing to give you that amount of money.
"She asked for more money, because that's what she believed her performance was worth, just like any person does when they work for someone"
Yes, and just like any person she should expect that her employer might not agree to that. For example just because I think my work is worth 6000€ per month doesnt mean my employer thinks so as well
Why would you defend such a person? I know that some people think "company=bad, individual person=good" but in reality thats not always the case
She claimed that they only offered her a few thousand dollar for her role as Bayonetta, in reality they offered her an above average payment but she was greedy and wanted way more. The devs refused, recasted Bayonettas VA but offered the original VA a small cameo for which they offered her the few thousand dollar
She than acted like they offered her peanuts for her role as Bayonetta instead for a small cameo
Pls inform yourself before you boycott a game for such a reason
Dumb question but can I play this game even though I've only played Yakuza 7&8 yet (meaning I'm not that familiar with Majima) or should I hold off til I played Yakuza 0-6 as well (which might take a while)
Or in other words: Is it important to know Majima as a character?
@MFTWrecks Not really, they would most likely still sell singleplayer + multiplayer together, with an option to just buy the multiplayer alone. But no option to just buy the singleplayer

Ok, this game is GotY
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (PS5) - The Best Version of an Undisputed Classic
Never played the original but was interested in it.
Nice to hear that the remake turned out well
Re: Highly Rated Square Enix RPG Triangle Strategy Out Now on PS5
@puddinggirl Thats what I meant. I'm ofc aware that the Switch 1 version can be played on Switch 2
Re: Highly Rated Square Enix RPG Triangle Strategy Out Now on PS5
Kinda weird that they wouldnt release a Switch 2 version/patch alongside it considering it is a former Switch exclusive
Re: Massive Atlus Survey Mentions Metaphor Sequel, Yet More Persona Spin-Offs
At this point we'll get a Persona 5 remake before Persona 6
Re: Lost Soul Aside's PS5, PC Price Could Be Its Biggest Bottle Neck
"The development TRULY started in mid 2021, that's when they decided what type of game it'll be"
5 years after the first trailer released?

I'm more surprised that the servers are still on

Isn't that the girl from the Simpsons?
Re: Death Stranding 2 Is Causing Some PS5s to Overheat
Reminds me of FF16 which also released late June. Seems like PS5s might have a problem wth hot weather
Or people simply have their PS5s in a dusty area and dont clean them
Re: 'This Isn't What I Expected': MindsEye Actor Weighs in on PS5 Flop's Shoddy Launch
Middling game
Re: The Expedition 33 Story Keeps on Getting Better with 'Unusual' Sales Increase
@Boxmonkey Tbf there are a ton of games that are good and still do not sell that well
Re: Talking Point: Do Early Access Editions Go Too Far for Story Games Like Death Stranding 2?
"If a game offers early access in a special edition, does that persuade you to buy it?"
Honestly would convince me to not buy the special edition if I had otherwise planned to buy it

Re: Anticipated JRPG Trails beyond the Horizon Delayed into January 2026 on PS5, PS4
Havent even played Daybreak 2 yet so not a big problem for me. 3 Trails games in one year would be to much anyway
Re: Sony Taking 'Very Measured' Approach to Picking Which PS5 Games Get PC Ports
Can we talk about how they havent ported Demon Souls yet despite being a launch game
And they also never gave a 60fps patch to Bloodborne
Dont know why Sony seems to neglect Soulsborne games
Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France

Re: Persona 4 Remake Announced for PS5
I'm happy it's real but man what a trailer
If you blinked you probably missed it
Re: Beast of Reincarnation Is an Action RPG from Pokémon Studio Game Freak
GameFreak made this game to prove to everyone that they can make good looking games
Also ofc a game made by them would have framedrops in the trailer lol
Re: Reminder: Look Out for PS5 Logos in Today's Xbox Showcase
It's funny, I don't even have an Xbox and yet it's the showcase I'm most excited for since all those games come to other plattforms like PC or PS5 (and maybe even Switch 2) anyway
Re: Persona 4 Remake Inevitable as Voice Actor Mentions Project
Kinda weird for such a well known VA to randomly leak a game
But anyway, it's been 10 years since I played P4G. A remake would be more than welcome. And i hope it also releases on Switch 2
Re: Stellar Blade Sequel Announced, Out by 2027
Isn't the game published by Sony? So I'm not sure if it'd come to Switch 2 or XBox
Would be nice though
Re: Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again
@Andy22385 Yes
It wasn't available at launch but they added it via an update
Re: GTA 6 May Not Have Been in Dev As Long As You Think
@ShadowofSparta I know that many children play GTA but it's still funny to read "childhood defining game" in the context of GTA

Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
I remember when I bought a PS4 1.5 years after release for 100€ less in a sale
Nowadays we have to pay ~100€ more 5 years after release

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
Yeah, have been interested in this game ever since it was announced
Glad it actually turned out great
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Already Surpassed 500,000 Sales Despite Oblivion Launch
Decided to buy the Deluxe edition because I tought the devs deserve it
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets PS5 Release Date, Trailer, Pre-Order Details
If this were a new Horizon game then GTA6 would release just a few days after
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5) - Daring, Quirky RPG Is an Absolute Must-Play
94 on metacritic currently (based on 12 reviews)
I really hoped that this game would turn out great but it seems to be even better than imagined
Re: PS5 Price Increases Announced by Sony, Affect UK, Europe, and More
Sony saw people complaining about Switch 2 prices and though "Man, I have a really funny idea"
Re: Kids Aren't Dreaming of Owning a PS6, Says Netflix Games Boss
When I was 8 years old I wasn't dreaming of owning a console that doesn't even exist yet, I would already have been happy if I had a console (not handheld, cause I did have a GBA) to begin with
I would have been the happiest kid if my parents got me a GameCube
Re: As War on AI Rages, Two Zenless Zone Zero Stars Say They Were Replaced Without Prior Notice
@naruball Asking for more money is fine per se
But dont throw a tentrum and straight up lie to millions of people (yes, millions of people saw her tweet) just because they weren't willing to give you that amount of money.

Re: As War on AI Rages, Two Zenless Zone Zero Stars Say They Were Replaced Without Prior Notice
@naruball The VA for Bayonetta literally lied
She claimed that they only offered her a few thousand dollar for her role as Bayonetta, in reality they offered her an above average payment but she was greedy and wanted way more. The devs refused, recasted Bayonettas VA but offered the original VA a small cameo for which they offered her the few thousand dollar
She than acted like they offered her peanuts for her role as Bayonetta instead for a small cameo

It's Firm Serpent
Re: Preview: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Looks Stunning, Hits Hard, and Feels Fresh on PS5
@heavyartillery56 Kinda sad how a dev/publisher not being greedy is seen as "there must be something wrong" nowadays
Also there are more than enough games that were lackluster/bad that have been sold for 70$
Re: Steam Deck's Install Base Estimated to Be About a Third of PS Vita
@LifeGirl I think those are resellers though and they sell them at a way higher price than if you by one from Valve directly via Steam
It's probably for countries where Valve doesn't ship to or for people who simply don't know better
Re: Some Monster Hunter Wilds Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over the Game Being 'Too Easy'

Re: Talking Point: Has the Market for AA Games on PS5 Really Disappeared?
I play a game if I think that I'll like it. Doesn't matter how many As it has
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) - Madcap Majima Does the Job
@MidnightDragonDX Ok, thx. Also I did play Infinite Wealth (Yakuza/LaD 8) so that shouldn't be a problem
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) - Madcap Majima Does the Job

Re: Tides of Annihilation Looks Like PS5's Next Big Thing in Outrageous Extended Gameplay
Jennifer English is a great VA (Shadowheart from BG3, Carlotta from WuWa) but the voice direction seems horrible
Rest looks great though
Re: Trails through Daybreak 2 (PS5) - Adjust Your Expectations for This Slick But Strange Trails Sequel
@The_Wailing_Doom I'd definitely at the very least play the predecessor first since it's the same cast
It's like playing FF7 Rebirth without playing FF7 Remake first which would be kinda weird
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Because It Wasn't Live Service, EA CEO Seems to Suggest
I never played a Dragon Age game but even I can tell that this definitely wasn't the problem lol
Re: Spider-Man 2's Looking Like Another PC Own Goal from Sony
I always wonder why developers/publishers decide to launch their games in a poor state instead of just delaying it?
I doubt that Sony is so short on money that they need to release the game now in a seemingly poor state instead of waiting for a few months
Re: Some Think GTA 6's Multiplayer Mode Could Be Sold Separately on PS5
@MFTWrecks Not really, they would most likely still sell singleplayer + multiplayer together, with an option to just buy the multiplayer alone. But no option to just buy the singleplayer
