Oh wow I hadn’t realised it was a remake. I thought since it used the Like a Dragon title, it was a sequel to the most recent Yakuza Like a Dragon game. ---

It’s sensible to use that title given that this game isn’t about the yakuza, but fact is, having used the Like a Dragon subtitle for Y7 probably confuses people unfamiliar with the series now. Regardless, I’m really happy they’re doing a PC port of Ishin. The studio head said a year or more ago that they would like to do it, but it would need to be a remake rather than a mere remaster. If the Judgment ports also turn out to be true, then that will be almost the entire franchise on PC. My backlog is already crying (with joy). 🐉 ---

Yes, and buy into the hundreds of dollars of DLC already released and probably still planned ahead. It’s pretty obvious what they’re doing here… ---

That’s not too bad, considering the base game can be sufficient once you install some um… Wonderfully Wonderful mods. 😏 > My copium would like to think that it means a [Sims 5](https://www.pcgamer.com/the-sims-5-what-we-want/)(opens in new tab)announcement is imminent. After all, The Sims 4 is the longest-running entry in the series, celebrating its eighth anniversary earlier this month. This makes sense. The game also has the most number of packs ever in the series, including that Star Wars tied-in dumpster fire. Making TS4 for free could means more profit from selling expansion contents. ---

That’s pretty much the whole idea. If someone decides to buy a DLC or two then it’s already a win for EA.

this week, Just Dance announced more songs for JD2023 on their YouTube channel. i’m surprised they have a BTS song on there (considering they’re literally the most successful boy band in kpop…so you know that’s got to be expensive). also, another Taylor Swift song has been added. it doesn’t even look real, since JD has been lacking in Swift’s songs for years. it’s nice to see them filling that void.
