Whoa that "Customer is King" scene at the start of chapter 3 in Yakuza 0 is amazing. Whoever writes these games is top notch.

Probably not a bad price. The first 3-4 hours it's novel enough to be fun. And then it's worth another 3-4 of middling fun before it becomes torturously boring.

E:NMS not Mafia.

That scene is basically one of the best scenes in the entire franchise.

NEWT THE MOON

As a newb to the series, I haven't felt as good about buying new as I have about Yakuza 0 for a long time. This is delightful in the weirdest ways. It's so terribly schlocky and so brilliantly schlocky and so fundamentally Sega it's driving me nuts. It's like "we've learned nothing about cameras for 20 years. We've been too busy honing everything else. Go hog wild."

I like this game.

PC game pricing is a race to the bottom to combat piracy and Steam sales, they've always been cheaper than the console versions.

I've been playing Miku Future Tone for a long time now but I still have at least two unanswered questions about it:

1. Maybe it's a general music game thing but why do some tracks not have one of the difficulty levels? I guess I can understand if a song is really fast and its hard to make a sensible easy level, but what about ones that have easy and hard but no medium?

2. Is there some way I can't conceive of to keep a hold input held down beyond when it asks for that input again? Obviously you can't get the max hold bonus if you have to let your finger off one of the buttons so you can push it again a half second later. Holding down right and then pushing circle, for example, also cancels the hold. Are those max hold bonuses deliberately made impossible to get?

Packaged is the one I thought of immediately, but I think there are four or five more.



edit: if you scroll down the song list on normal you won't even see them at all. It made it hard to keep track of which songs I had not yet attempted on any difficulty level.

Ah, that would explain why I haven't seen them: I have been playing everything on Normal. In any case, I don't have an answer to your question because it seems weird to me too.

You're lucky it's only $10. All PC versions of games have been cheaper than console versions since forever, it isn't malicious, it is just how the market works.

Voc@loid In Love only has a hard mode track. I accidentally ran across it doing something else, but was pleasantly surprised to see it in the listing since it felt like a huge oversight for that song not to be there.

Also, in answer to your earlier questions, I have no idea. I have not figured out what it is you're supposed to do when it asks you to hold O and then immediately follows up with an O input.

all isn't really true; aaa games stopped doing that ages ago and have price parity on all platforms. it's still a lot easier to get them on sale tho, even pre release, so you tend to pay less either way

Huh. They might as well give up on selling most themes if they are going to let you just set a game screenshot as a theme. I never knew why they sold themes in the first place rather than giving them as free promotion for upcoming games anyway.

edit: I've said it before but Future Tone rules like crazy. From a cost/benefit perspective its one of my top five games ever probably. I have like ten uncompleted games but I still can spend hours straight on that one just trying to get a higher rank on various songs. It's nuts.

What would be a good external HDD? Preferably something that would improve load times on certain games.
