Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, or Yakuza 8 w/e you wanna call it, is fantastic.
It significantly improves the turn-based combat, which I already loved, and they listened to the fans' complaints about sudden difficulty spikes in the main story that required grinding.
It still has that goofy charm, strange side missions, tons of minigames and I'm only a handful of chapters in but the story's got me hooked so far too.
Much like the first game, imo the best part is the character interactions and dialogue.
Not that I'd ever consider selecting the English dub but I heard it's pretty solid, with the sole exception of Kiryu's English VA being grating.
To each their own but personally I can't stand the thought of choosing a dub (in any type of media) over the original language.

Gotta say... I like they way Microsoft deals with controller issues. Haven't had an issue with an Xbox controller since my Day One pad developed stick drift. They sent me a plain black controller as a replacement since they no longer had them and I didn't have to send it back, which was cool.
Well, the purple shift controller I bought during black Friday... the right trigger started to stick for a second when pressed down all the way. Contacted them on Monday and I already got my replacement LE controller today (and I still get to keep the other one, which still works well enough). I think I will buy that blue vapor controller when it goes on sale!

It doesn't seem that serious
I mean, they are going third party with all of their games. Hardware is going to die(which it already kinda is). Then they will just be EA

I believe they’ll still have dedicated hardware (even if it isn’t necessary) for those that enjoy the game ecosystem, Xbox UI etc.

No one has confirmed this
You don't know that
And if it already is, what is the incentive for them not to do this then?
So Microsoft will just give up all the 3rd part accessories, and console Gamepass revenue to be at the mercy of two monopolies
Maybe you like a lot of people need to take a step back and breathe a little

If they do stop making hardware, I'll be curious to see if the people who were very concerned about the health of the industry during the ABK acquisition have the same opinions about a PS monopoly

Yes, interesting to see all the people online who were so concerned about a Microsoft monopoly celebrating the prospect of Sony having more market power.
Surely a company like Sony, which has a reputation for squeezing their customers' pockets, and who is very concerned about long-term profitability, would never take advantage of that situation by upping prices.
Ain't that right

Why am I being brought into this?
But yes I agree. Neither company should be able to buy any major publishers anymore. A smaller developer here or there sure but def not publishers.

More like a joke because we trolled each
The thing is, if MS stops making Xboxes, this argument goes away.
MS could buy whomever they want since they are no longer a 1st party.
Also, Sony will have the market all to itself to squeeze developers, and consumers so they can make a larger profit.
