Only been physicals and special editions of the game. Digital store fronts need a concrete date before they can accept preorders.

Man, I´m kinda torn on this one… Like, Majima in a pirate game makes more sense than it should, and I´m sure it will just be pure bonkers child-joy-enducing fun (and no doubt more enjoyable than a certain “AAAA” game that came out earlier this year). But at the same time, the premise (at least from the trailer) just feels meh for some reason, and I´m just not keen on the Hawaiian setting (haven´t played IW yet, but I´d rather the series explored locations around Asia - not to mention it would be more fitting for a pirate game). Also, while I´m happy we´re finally getting a Majima-only game and his combat won´t be nerfed this time around, the scenes with the “aerial strikes” gave me Yakuza 5 Akiyama flashbacks - not in a good way.

Gonna get it at some point regardless, duh, but I still have 5-6 games in the series to beat in the meantime, so not anytime soon :grin:

I’m currently in the middle of Yakuza 7. Took a break from the series after basically playing through 3-6 non-stop. With the pirate game announcement, it makes me want to beat 7, Gaiden, and 8 before that comes out, will resume 7 soonish.

I mean, I took the Hawaiian setting as a way to essentially reuse the Hawaii city from Infinite Wealth. I wonder if the pattern will be to do these sorts of side games inbetween numbered installments, meaning fans still get games with action gameplay like Yakuza 1-6, then the new turn based stuff for 7 onwards.

I think it looks fun, I’m always up for more Majima time. I guess really my big question is whether or not we actually get to control the ship and get to do pirate-y things or not.

The new Minecraft stuff looks great. We are more the builder kind of players and the last updates were so-so. Now this looks like we have plenty new stuff to farm and build. :smiley:

A chaotically hilarious animated trailer for Official Modding Tools in Baldur’s Gate 3!

I thought a new Sims was canceled and they go back to making DLCs for the current one.

EDIT: Ah it just got relabeled.

Swiney is at it again

If multiplayer games are the future then why so many big live service games such as Concord and Kill the Justice League fail so spectacularly?

Maybe he’s just rambling and suing companies left and right to pass the time until 2027 when Epic will see some actual profit from the Epic Launcher :laughing:

I already voted for Astrobot and Balatro wherever possible.

Anyway, if the psn and steam accounts are linked, there is no reason to have to pay the game twice. I buy one license for the game, and I should be able to play on both platforms.

HOLY CLUCK

IDK why now of all times, SEGA decides to get their head out of their ass and realise there’s lots of demand and potential this game could have had with a sequel, but hell yes let’s fucking goooooo

I am now reminded that Telltale Games still haven’t given us any word on what’s going on with Wolf 2… wahh :cry: :grimacing:

Hooray! Alien Isolation will finally get a follow up that isn’t a mobile game heavily influenced by Five Nights at Freddy’s!
