I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
Even if we classify Yakuza 0 as an RPG (I'd call it a brawler if anything but I can accept people calling it an RPG if they want) it's nowhere near as good a game as Persona 5.

I find fans of Yakuza 0 are willfully ignoring that the game has tons of bad gameplay design and straight up unfun poo poo in it. This isn't coming from someone who dumped an hour into the game and quit, as I have the platinum trophy in the game.

Yakuza 0's combat is piss easy unless you play on hard where it's only hard because they at times handicap you with the most unfun bullshit like escort fights where you will only lose because the escort getting held even once on the hardest mode loses almost half her health, and guns taking half your healthbar. The combat system is kinda fun but becomes boring when Majima is literally "use one combo to wreck every single fight"

The JCC is a loving abomination of a mini game, and real estate is kinda fun at first but gets boring fast. Other mini games are hit and miss.

Yakuza 0 is a pretty good game but there's a lot of boring, unfun stuff that got crammed in there as well. Some people just amazingly overhype the game when I'd say it's pretty good at best. I'd recommend Nier before I'd recommend Yakuza 0, and Persona 5 is easily my GOTY.

Yakuza actually lets you play the claw machine game and Persona does not, so Yakuza is better.

Persona series arcades are a letdown (I think P4 had an arcade, too?), they never let you actually play any games (and while P5 at least gave an arcade-related social link, it's probably the worst one in the game). And don't get me started on not being able to go in and do stuff in the crepe shop and the gym.

That said, I consider P5 to be really, really good, but I can't join in on the ranking discussion because I haven't found time to get to Yakuza 0, Nier, etc... yet.

How can I customize my main menu area? The bar which lists all the games I play and apps I have. I have only 2 or 3 apps I use, and the rest are games. How can I add and remove things from that?

Make a folder and dump what you want in it.

I have one for games in progress
Games ive finished
System apps
And fighting games

Nothing in a folder will ever drop off the menu or change order based on use.

Folders cant drop off the menu but can themselves shuffle based on use

Folders and that's about it, the system manages it for you and drops off unused icons into your Library.

It still pisses me off that they took away the ability to delete notifications and old party/chat invites. Like what the gently caress possessed them when myself and most likely others just wanted a Delete All/Delete Multiple system like when deleting anything off the HDD.

Why yes I want all these out of date invites to stay forever, and make sure I have to delete upload/download notifications one at a time. And make sure if I have too many of those notifications then the console will refuse to download/upload anything new.

Just leave them alone. They stop scrolling on the dash if you look at the list once and then you can forget about them

I'm sure that the inability to remove noticications now is for a future update where ads are now pop ups in the notification window which can be bypassed with the new playstation plus plus subscription.

I had that happen with the old system.

edit: ^ yeah, it had to do with failed uploads.

What happened is one time I had to backup and format and system restore, and some kind of locally stored hulu file (probably to track my watch habits) then bitched forever that it couldn't upload to the server because there was a timestamp mismatch between files, because of the backup and restore. So it tried and failed to upload this every week for like a year, and then one day, I couldn't download anything until I manually deleted like a hundred of these notifications.

Ended up buying Prey for $40. I think its absoluete bullshit what they did to Human Head and I would rather have whatever they cooked up over a wannabe system shock/bioshock clone but I've enjoyed every Bethesda game this gen and the demo was intriguing so I figured I'd might as well get it on sale.

Game is very good, but they hosed up the performance on one of the patches a few weeks back and haven't fixed it yet. I'm waiting until they fix it to start my second run.
