All those better games will still be there when I'm finished with Andromeda and they will most likely be cheaper as well

What exactly are you expecting to get out of Andromeda that hasn't already been shared by everyone else telling you "it's terrible?" Power to you for wanting to go in with an open mind and all, but I'll save you some time on how your experience will go;

You'll think it's fine to start with, maybe even have some fun, but then you'll find something. Something you find interesting in the story, or a character you like, and realize there's nothing more to anything you see beyond an eggshell-thin hope you won't ask questions about anything in the setting. That cool setpiece? We're done with it now, MOVE ALONG PLEASE AND DON'T THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE! A character you liked? Well they've had their sole story-relevant conversation so MOVE ALONG PLEASE, DO NOT THINK ABOUT THEM ANYMORE! There is no polish or real care to most of the game, it just wants you moving from story beat to story beat.

The party members are also pretty loving terrible, save for Grandpa Krogan. And he's not worth playing through the game just to see, to be honest.

The main story of a given Yakuza game is usually mostly serious and/or emotional, it’s the side stuff that gets wacky. Generally.

Got a few questions regarding PSTV.

1) I don't know much about that device, the little I know is that you can play PSVita games (at least the ones I own via PS+), just pairing my PS4 controller to it, is that right?
2) Is still under production/sale?
3) Let's say that my PS4 is on my computer room, can I stream Until Dawn to the PSTV on my living room so I can play it with my wife without needing to move my ps4?

I know that I'll end buying a 2nd PS4 by the end of the year so the PSTV will become obsolete but getting one for 30€ or so sounds kinda nice considering that I'm often away on weekends.

Not all Vita games are compatible with PSTV.

Support extends to some PSP and PS1 games, though, just like on the Vita.

Yes you can stream from the PS4, but you’re limited to 720p.

I haven't been playing Hokuto ga Gotoku with the Kiryu skin but when you do it looks like this:

How does Fist of the North Star compare to Yakuza in terms of fighting? Like yeah it's high fantasy, but can I pick up a motorcycle and bash a guy with it?

Analogy? You literally pick up their death screams and swing them at enemies. There aren’t any other environmental weapons.

I have unsuccessfully started playing Nier: Automata like five times now! The whole "there's 26 endings" thing was really daunting to me, I guess. For whatever reason, I'd get to Pascal's Village each time and quit. It wasn't until I read a couple of things -- namely that the base game is only 15-20 hours, and most of the endings are just quick blurbs that take place during a playthrough rather than requiring an entire playthrough -- that I stuck to it.

Although now I also know some spoilery things that I shouldn't know, and it almost makes it as if "playing up to Pascal's Village and quitting every 3 months" is part of the game's meta, like the secret 27th ending. Damnit Taro Yoko...

Automata has my favorite twist in years

Yorha getting annihilated and even the main character gets killed

Its all done so well and raises the stakes higher than I couldve ever imagined when I first started the game.

And the suprises dont end there either

Even better for me in that same scene is when all that happens, and THEN the title appears, almost as if to say "Oh, those other playthroughs? That was just the prologue."

Gonna share something I made for The Dark Id's LP that I think sums up that entire twist nicely. BIG SPOILERS, obviously.
