Apparently, an announcement is planned for August 23rd, for PS Now being officially usable from a PC. Supposed to launch either on the 23rd or a week later depending on region.

If I like Yakuza 5 is there any point in me picking up 3 and 4 or will they be too dated?

Also Yakuza 4, which features a cop who subdues perps by judoflipping their attacks so he can break their arms and put them in handcuffs.

I remember somethig happens to one of your orphanage kids in yakuza 3, you can see him lying there on the beach but you have to walk over to trigger the event. I went to play golf instead. Good video game moment.

I bought 1 and 2 for a few bucks each on eBay last year. I don't like how they play at all though.

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
2 and 1 especially are pretty rough. From 3 onward they play much much better.

It is, however, currently $9.99 on PSN, if you have a PS3.

Are you loving kidding me this announcement comes RIGHT AS I CANCEL MY PSNOW SUB?

I'll probably still pass it up unless we can get some more variety available. For some reason my net seems to be less speedy than when I first got it.

No, I can renew. But it's more questioning if I should based on my own tech. I've yet to play with powerline adapter based wired net.

Yakuza 5 uses pretty much the same exact engine as 4, except for the new job minigames.

So apparently FF15 is more or less confirmed to be delayed from September to November. I preordered 2 Play games planning to redeem that 20% off code for FF15 when it came out, how long are these codes usually valid for?

Discount codes don't work on pre-orders, and I'm pretty sure the 20% off code is only good for September.

Yeah the coupon is only good till October 4. I'm hoping there's a good sale sometime before then that I can apply it on top of.

That's what I use and it works great in my house. Obviously it's dependent upon the wiring of your place. My house is about 22 years old and it's perfectly fine for online play.

I just learned the hard way not to buy Minecraft Story Mode DLC from the PSN store directly if you bought the game on disc. If you actually want the DLC to do anything you need to buy it directly inside the game.

Perhaps this is obvious? I swear I've purchased DLC through the store for Disc games before without problems (The Witcher 3, Destiny, Mass Effect to name a few).

Sony did refund my purchase so I could buy it properly, but the support rep first suggested I sell my disc game and buy digital so the DLC would work. Considering this was only episode 7 and we already had episodes 2-6 I was like "uh no..."

Yeah your best bet is either a sale or if you wanted to get deus ex or xcom 2. Only two games coming out in the coupon period that'd be worth it I think.

Almost positive this is why the coupon expires by October. I mean at least give it until the end of the year.

They were probably too scared of people doing it by the millions for call of duty/Battlefield/whatever else comes out in November.

The dub is painfully bad.

I'm guessing they had some difficulties with the US version? Whether it was because Ubisoft published it over here, or maybe the dub full of Pokemon VAs?

I don't know, i'm just having difficulties getting past suddenly having british accented characters who use their original Japanese names. Really hoping when they put 3 out its the good old NTSC version.
