@Balaam_ or it's a typo

I tried the first, didn't click. Heard the second game was better. Tried it and it still didn't win me over.
The fact this franchise was shown 10,000 yellow daffodils, isn't surprising, at least to me.

It's not even April

Gonna be cautiously optimistic. I saw a bit of Ubijank in it, but hopefully it all comes together.

@RoomWithaMoose Our only hope is our AI Overlords do a better job than we did.

Pretty sure game sites and critics are already judged based on their audience. If you lose enough face, you'll lose your members, click rate, etc.
I can think of a certain gaming site I lost all faith in (starts with a K). There was a time when it was great, then it leaned heavily into everything I try to avoid, with gaming as a side note.

@RagnarLothbrok and they'll simultaneously blame that for the game failing to sell

I had a feeling...

Trails Beyond Horizon. This is my filler game until a very stacked February

We all know why they are review bombing the demo on Steam. Almost certainly nothing to do with the actual game

@themightyant I've spent a lot of time in some of them but I found a good paid game as the way to kick the habit.

@themightyant You're kidding right? That's insane. Clearing out their accounts? Yikes. That's not a bug, that's seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen, even if they are paid back. I'm so careful what I link to Paypal. I'd rather fight a bad credit card charge than have something like that happen. I'd also advise people to periodically check whatever links theyve made in the past to companies. DO NOT leave those active, if you are no longer using it.

@nomither6 Honestly, while I would love for that to have worked out, I'm sure Judge feels the same way I do after being out of the Marines for 30 years. Would it be cool to be to get back in? Yes. Could I physically do it? Hell nah

Ryan Hurst was one of my top 5

TCL makes great budget televisions. I'm a little confused, though, does this mean we will no longer see TCL on TVs? TCL has the control with the Sony name?

@PerpetualBoredom Seemed pretty barren, so that makes sense.

@Balaam_ I must be in the general public, I tried Elden Ring (and gasp) it didn't click for me. Glad to see anyone enjoy a game but it just didn't hit, for me. Felt like work instead of entertainment.

In an era of remakes, remasters, retrogrades, and endless sequels, it is refreshing to see an original IP take home the gold.

@MrPeanutbutterz Well, if you believe WW3 will ever actually happen, then logically every day we are closer than we were the day before.

So, the only people that will be able to play it, if they haven't already, are Yakuza Pirates? Makes total sense

@timbo87 Systemic issue in Western gaming. Thank god for the east

OMG there it is!
Nope, sorry... it was a demonic squirrel

@nessisonett Oh bother. So they are all just as Greek as the other person

Is this using the Dragon engine? Kind of worried by the graphics that it's just a repaint instead of an overhaul. Don't get me wrong, I'm buying it. I've played them all including the ones not translated, but just not convince of what I'm getting here.

In comparison Balatro was done with thousands of dollars (although the figure wasn't made public, it wasn't millions) and became profitable within one hour of release.

Nothing about Persona means we can't be friends anymore

@samueljoshua It's not a horrible story but a very obvious middle of a series game that solves almost no mysteries. I loved it but I can see someone saying it was middling, but that's the point..

@SuntannedDuck2 Whuuut? -Little John

"where else are you going to find a game built on over two decades of interconnected storytelling?"

Yakuza?

@Fandabidozi2025 Just finished Yakuza Kiwaimi 2 and Yakuza 6 over the holidays. I also just fired up Yakuza LAD for my first replay since it's debut year

Said it in last article, sometimes you got to know when to just STFU. Did he fire his communication director? This seems just unnecessarily dumb. Just. Stop. Talking.

@SystemAddict Use your words.

That's actually good news. PS5, while I've enjoyed a lot of games, still needs more bangers before I feel like I got my money's worth this generation.
I'm not ready for PS6, and I've never said that before about a next gen

Still no review here

Did Inazuma ever get a review on this site? I remember back in November it was announced you were working on it (around the clock). I don't see it unless it isn't linked properly

Did I miss the review?? Over a month later?

Think that statement comes back to bite them. Sometimes it is better to just stop talking

@Balaam_ You will be selected by the Paintress for that comment

@graymamba But when I do it, I get arrested

February is (too?) stacked. Wouldn't shock me if some of these games shuffle their release dates. There are a lot of anticipated titles in one month, at least for me.

Except it really didn't matter much if they remembered that.

Imagine what the internet would be like when Disney moved on from hand painted animations?
It's happening. You don't have to like it. You don't have to buy it, but it's happening.
The good thing is you can tell when it's overused, or crap. It's a tool, like computers were to modern day animation. If you're willing to pay, and enough people are willing to pay, to bypass it, great, but don't complain about crunch and AI in the same breath.

Looks like a mini game in some AAA game

@Scottyy I will ashamedly admit that Yakuza Like a Dragon was my first Yakuza game. Now I've played a lot of them. None of them do you have to play before the other, even if some people swear by that.

@GamingGod I liked DS2 more than Ghost of Yetei but feel the latter is more open world than DS2. It's open world with more obstacles.

@RoomWithaMoose As long as you put in the effort

Old man yells at AI in the cloud

Mob mentality. I'm sure the early Disney animators that hand painted animations scree by screen, felt the same way, and the younger ones just learned how to use a computer.

@MrStark TLOUII had NOTHING on first game? That's a real weird take.
