Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Picked up the previous game on sale and really liked it. This game is a major improvement on combat but a step backwards everywhere else IMO.

(Spoilers?) You play half the game as Kasuga, the main character of the last game. The other half, you’re the main character of some of the older Yakuza games. I do not like this. I get in the groove with one party right as it forced me to the other for the next chapter.

Also, a ton of the side quests for the other char are “remember this from the old games??”

The title really sells it as “video you should not watch under any circumstances”

Sounds like the genre’s just not for you. I also don’t enjoy games like this BUT it’s not wasting time if you’re having fun

I don’t really like games like this (I know Hollow Knight is a masterpiece if you do) but I’d be tempted to buy it for $20 just to support the studio

The character design was derivative but they weren’t awful, come on now. Absolutely true about the rest

They should just train a bunch of pigeons to drop leaflets around town

Yeah, exactly. The general public thinks that Steve Jobs invented the iPhone. He’s not just some random CEO.

no one will know his name in 20 years.

I’m not a fan of Jobs but that’s quite a claim. No one will remember one of the most successful CEOs of all time in 2 decades?

Wozniak will leave the public consciousness way sooner than Jobs. Outside of tech circles, pretty much nobody knows who he is now.

Games with optional crossplay > games without crossplay >>>>>>>> games with forced crossplay

Can you just recreate the email address temporarily

Wow, it’s not like I was doing the shopping myself in 1995 but I’m still surprised I’ve never seen one of these!

In a fraction of the time it took you to make this, you could have confirmed yourself that these are all the same size

Really?? I got a PS1 when they were pretty new and all of my games are in standard jewel cases.

Good point lol

No pressure to redo them, just make a new one whenever (and if ever) you play again!

You should write reviews as a job

I see someone’s never read Luke 3:12

Sonic is obviously an allegory for the tax collector who gets baptized. Dummy.

And no I did not just pick a random bible verse and justify it. My uncle is friends with Hideo Kojima, the CEO of Sega

Hold Home and Screenshot until it turns on and starts flashing then pair it on your phone

Huh…why?

There wasn’t a reason to before but now they are doing it now because there’s enough of a market to justify it…I’m not sure what you think they did so wrong

Why would they prioritize resources into something with low demand…?

I know there’s a lot of Steam haters out there but simple shit like this is why they’re on top.

I fuckin loved those phones. I was devastated when I dropped my 1020 and broke the camera

I think about half of them are pretty awful. And painting aside, I wouldn’t have recognized Gale (guy with the beard) if not for the context

Frostpunk 2 is great. I think it’s way harder than 1 but maybe that’s just because I haven’t sunk nearly the same hours in

I use that mouse for work and really like it. I was debating getting one for my home PC, too…

Sure, not Taylor Swift, but most shows are $30 or less

These kids are wasting $30 on a game that they play 20-40 hours a month! They should instead go see 2 movies or go to one concert or eat at a restaurant once

18+ years, $2339.25

Shill has primarily been used as an insult for the past 50 years in the way I’m defining it here. I don’t believe you’ve never heard it used to mean that.

one who acts as a decoy (as for a pitchman or gambler)

Literally on that same page.

a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/shill

a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/shill

someone who helps another person to persuade people to buy something, especially by pretending to be a satisfied customer

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/shill?q=shill

shill n informal, US (person planted to lure customers)

https://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=shill

A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with said person or organization, or have been paid to do so.

If someone starts off saying “this is a sponsores stream” then yes, that is correct. It’s illegal to not disclose when media is an advertisement in most of the world. I’m pretty sure it’s against the TOS of most streaming sites, too.

A shill doesn’t disclose that they’re being paid to promote a product. The secrecy is what makes them a shill

Yes, someone who promotes a product while hiding the fact that they’ve been paid to promote the product. Streamers generally say “this is a sponsored stream” to avoid lawsuits.

Plenty do, yeah. Though to the marketing team, all streamers are influencers

Sponsoring streams isn’t even close to the same thing as hiring shills

“doesn’t have to be downloaded” is a basic requirement of a game for you in 2025?

More like the show he was playing had free entry and these guys came to the bar specifically to complain that they don’t like his music.

The streamer wasn’t “using a megaphone” - these losers weren’t yelling back at a guy on the street , they were *going out of their way" looking for people playing the game so they could join and bitch about the existence of black people.

Gaming websites are soooo bad about that. It should be a rule for all gaming news communities that the title must include the game name.

I’d like to read about cool upcoming games but I will never click a headline like this.

Shit like this is why people pirate. Not saying you should do that but IMO it’s a legitimate reason.

I’m already paying you money for a SINGLE PLAYER game and you want me to pay MORE with my data? Fuck off, Ubisoft
