In an ideal world this would give Sega the confidence to localise the rest of another Japanese period piece called the Sakura Wars series.

I played that new Sakura Wars game and it really tested my suspension of disbelief.

Like, in addition to all the mech stuff, the girls are expected to stage entire full length theatrical dramas? Without a tech crew or even a director?

Replaying Elden Ring is pretty neat, I can just blitz to cool stuff right away. I beat the water village mariner to pick up the stamina regen talisman and now I’m gonna pick up the turtle shield so I don’t even have to buy anything. I’m going faith but since iirc incantations don’t want something absurd like 70 int I can focus on cool weapons too.

The act transitions and background art are so good. The forest fire, the pyramid rising from the sand, the Death Egg crashing at the end of Launch Base and then reappearing at the end of Lava Reef, the seasons changing in Mushroom Hill, that really cool zoomy bit in Flying Battery with the balls on chains. So much good poo poo.

I played Suikoden II this year for the first time ever, and it was a really good game that felt like it had aged well.

Yeah, there are some environments that Konami redid that are very confusing to me, while others they redid look really good. It's confusing. The character portraits were redone as well and they also look bad. Still going to buy this remaster though, Konami is actually using it as a way to gauge making Suikoden 6.

I tried to play Suikoden 1 for the first time a few months ago and I threw in the towel about 8 hours in because there were just so many pointless autobattle encounters, and then I read that was before the encounter rate was considered to get bad later in the series. They can be fine in other games but Suikoden's were awful

though in splatoon 3 I'm using a weapon that really doesn't enjoy close quarters combat so whenever i have a "random encounter" with the opposing team it's usually a bad time for me

Ugh. Windows 10 updated last night and it made it so I had sound but the sound icon claimed I didn't so I followed some troubleshooting guides to fix that. The guide fixed the icon by going into the services but now I have the opposite problem. Sound icon shows I have working sound but it doesn't actually work. Nothing gets played, it spits out an error when trying to do sound test stuff, it's broken. So I follow separate troubleshooting guides to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and nothing has changed. Still broke.

I can't game like this! I need audio!! How else am I gonna listen to podcasts and albums while playing puzzle games???

When you think about it, complaining on message boards is just the social, universal version of explaining your code to a rubber duck.

no idea. could be related to the different ways they utilize tracking since PSVR1 relied on the PS Camera but i feel like they could've made it work if they didn't want people double dipping on pricey "upgrade" fees for games

It's a programmer thing, when debugging code explaining the flow line by line to someone can help you see where the problem is, and if you have no one to explain it to, an object can suffice, like a rubber duck. Honestly explaining something to find solutions can be applied to anything, it's just funnier to explain to a rubber duck that your program explodes because you forgot to rename a variable.

Yeah it's that. Consoles aren't like PCs where using hardware goes through half a dozen layers of drivers and abstraction, support for the very specific hardware was baked into PSVR 1 games and there's no way to automatically and cleanly transition them to PSVR 2 without the devs having to work on them
