PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 3:30 PM Bizarre Overwatch 2 bug swaps support duos between teams mid-match       I love the thrill of a close Overwatch 2 match as much as the next person, but an Overwatch 2 bug that suddenly throws you onto the enemy team midway through the action is a slightly bizarre twist on balancing that nonetheless gives me a warm nostalgia for the heady days of Team Fortress 2. Blizzard's competitive multiplayer game makes plenty of tweaks and improvements for Overwatch 2 season 3, but this seemingly unintentional issue is as bizarre as it is hilarious.

Square Enix updated Yuffie's original design to incorporate some more realistic details, while maintaining her design as a modern ninja and the Japanese style of her original design. The company shared that, while the rest of the cloth physics in her model run in real-time, Yuffie's leg warmers are individually adjusted so they don't fall off. https://twitter.com/FFVIIR_CLOUD/status/1626506739796389888 While her redesign was kept very close to the original, some details changed or were adjusted to bring her to life in a more modern setting. Particularly, her right arm sports a glove that closely resembles a piece of Japanese armor, compared to her original design which involved wearing a glove with metallic protectors. You can check out Yuffie's FFVII Remake Intergrade design in more detail in the gallery below.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 5:00 PM Reminder: Wii U and 3DS eShop to Close in Late March 2023       The Nintendo of America Twitter account shared a reminder that the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShop will soon no longer be available. Nintendo will discontinue both online storefronts on March 27, 2023. Those with money still on their accounts will be able to merge the leftover balance with their Nintendo Switch account until March 2024. News of this decision first came out in February 2022. Once the stores close down, players will no longer be able to purchase new games or download free demos. As for games you already own, you can still re-download them so long as you have the license. This goes for DLC as well. The My Memories website for the 3DS and Wii U is still open as well, though you will need to have a Nintendo account to access it. Closing down eShops is a natural part of a console with online access. The PlayStation Store for the PS3 and PS Vita also closed down in Summer 2021. In all of these cases, it simply means that you will no longer be able to buy older games. Players will still have access to games in their digital library. The Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShop will each close on March 27, 2023. Players with games they want to purchase should buy them before that date so that they can access them in the future.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 3:00 PM Psycho-Pass: Providence Movie Premieres in May 2023       The next film in the Psycho-Pass series is arriving in a matter of months. Psycho-Pass: Providence has a premiere date in Japan, as well as its first trailer. The latest announcement from the Psycho-Pass production committee dates the film's premiere for May 12, 2023. Created in part to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the series, Psycho-Pass: Providence will involve members of the original cast, particularly protagonists Akane Tsunemori and Shinya Kogami. Voice actors Kana Hanazawa and Tomokazu Seki will reprise their roles as Tsunemori and Kogami. The movie also bears the tagline "The End of Justice," where the Japanese characters for "Justice" are read as "System." Check out the trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huVtTW6_eCg The trailer focuses on dialog and action by both Tsunemori and Kogami. The pair were once linked in the first season of Psycho-Pass, as Tsunemori was an Inspector, placed in charge of Kogami, an Enforcer. Under the show's Sibyl System, people are sorted by the "Hues" of their Psycho Pass, and some people are classified as "Latent Criminals" due to their psychological state. Latent Criminals are locked up and made to prop up the Sibyl System as Enforcers, who use their supposed similarity to the criminal mindset to help the police find and apprehend (or execute) actual criminals. The Psycho-Pass: Providence trailer features lines from Tsunemori and Kogami. Tsunemori asks if Kogami was "allowed to return to Japan, so that he could fight fire with fire." Kogami says that he's just doing what he has to do, and doesn't regret it. Tsunemori vows to stop Kogami, if he does plan to "set off another inferno." Saiga says that there are many facets to "Truth" and "Justice", and that there are things "you can't understand without seeing them from above." Kogami says that "Even then, I believe that you'll try to do the right thing." The band Egoist also announced that the single for its song "Party" will release on May 10, 2023. "Party" is the ending theme for the film. Composer ryo of supercell also handled the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of the song. The band previewed the single's artwork, which was created by artist redjuice (who also created character designs for Guilty Crown, Beatless, and the upcoming series Ayaka). https://twitter.com/egoist_2039/status/1626385942763409409 Psycho-Pass: Providence premieres in Japan on May 12, 2023. The first two seasons of the show are available to watch on services like Crunchyroll and Netflix, while the third season is licensed by Amazon Prime Video.

However, all you need to do to finish this one is land on top of some platforms while riding a broom or a magical creature. The tricky bit is that there are 20 Hogwarts Legacy landing platforms to find in the open-world game, and your reward for landing on all of them is a Quidditch set in the Hogwarts Legacy challenges unlockables. You can track which ones you've visited simply by looking at your Hogwarts Legacy map and seeing which regions still have landing platforms to visit. And yes, all you need to do to mark it off is to land on the platform and wait for the flames around it to ignite. It's as simple as that!

Thankfully, Mundfish has shown off a variety of ways to handle them once we're dropped into Facility 3826, but it won't be a walk in the park. While there are plenty of fearsome foes in the retrofuturistic FPS game, Atomic Heart bosses are a cut above the rest. Whether synthetic or organic, these enemies sport robust health bars and devastating abilities that can quickly reduce Atomic Heart protagonist Major P-3 to a bloody pulp.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:23 AM Hogwarts Legacy Revelio pages explained       Hogwarts Legacy Revelio pages are one of many collectables in the Harry Potter RPG, and they can be quite confusing. You'll probably find a few as soon as you're let loose around Hogwarts after the intro, and as expected, you need to use Revelio to find them, but how exactly do they work? Revelio pages in Hogwarts Legacy are in the same category as field guide pages and flying pages, but they're also slightly different. You may notice that Revelio pages specifically are tracked in-game, as each one provides a tiny bit of lore about the subject in question, whether it's something like the Great Hall which every Potter fan knows and recognises in the open-world game, or a collection of beehives in a hamlet miles away from the castle. Here's what you need to know about the Hogwarts Legacy Revelio pages.

Now, broom flight gets an overhaul, courtesy of the Weasley family's iconic Ford Anglia.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 1:05 PM Best Hogwarts Legacy broom and upgrades       Want to know what the best Hogwarts Legacy brooms and upgrades are? You're likely to get tired of moving around on foot rather quickly in an open-world game with a region as big as this one is. If you are longing to take to the skies, chances are that you still have a fair bit of the story to go before the game allows you to hop onto one of these contraptions, as the proprietor of Spintwitches Sporting Needs, Albie Weekes, is out of town when you first visit Hogsmeade. Even though the Hogwarts Legacy Quidditch season has been unceremoniously cancelled by Hogwarts headmaster Professor Black, one of the many colourful Hogwarts Legacy characters you'll meet in the RPG game, you can still, eventually, buy a decent broom in Hogsmeade. The shop that sells Hogwarts Legacy brooms and upgrades will open after you complete the brooms class with Madam Kogawa, which comes after your first Ancient Magic trial. You'll need a fair bit of cash to afford one, so make sure you're looking through Hogwarts Legacy eyeball chests, selling useless items, and gathering coins on your journey.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 11:06 AM Hogwarts Legacy Phoenix location       Want to add the Hogwarts Legacy Phoenix to your creature collection? It's likely the final fantastic beast on your list to catch, and if you've been looking for a den on the map, it's not worth bothering. That's because there's only one of them in the game, and it's very elusive, only showing up after meeting specific requirements. Catching this fabulous Hogwarts Legacy beast is wildly different to every other creature. Rather than hunting it down, you get it as part of a side quest. Given how rare the Phoenix is in the open-world game, your house-elf companion - Deek - is understandably concerned about poachers in the local area, and it's up to you to give it the sanctuary it needs.

This one stumped us for quite some time before we got the logic behind it, as it's not immediately obvious what you're supposed to do to open it. Instead, you find this door next to some pillars and a pedestal where you can place the Moonstone. While it's evident that moving the lamps requires one of the more basic Hogwarts Legacy spells - Accio - it's not clear what the solution you're looking for is for this most fiendish of open-world game puzzles. However, upon closer examination of the clues before you, it should become a little clearer what to do; if not, we have the solution to the puzzle.

With so many iconic characters from the Harry Potter series to pick from like the Niffler from Fantastic Beasts, to heroes such as Cedric Diggory, and even the villainous Lucius Malfoy - but do any of them appear in the open-world game? Is Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy, for example? Or Hagrid? We've compiled a list of every character in Hogwarts Legacy featuring both new and returning characters from the Harry Potter series.

With so many hidden chambers, passageways, and an ever-shifting set of stairs, it's no wonder that there are some deeper secrets hidden within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, a select few of these mysteries actually count towards one of the game's challenges. It's worth noting that you won't be able to solve all of the Hogwarts Legacy secrets until quite late into the game. This is because some rather hefty requirements rely on you learning specific Hogwarts Legacy spells and, in one case, upgrading it by finding all of the Demiguise Statues in the RPG game.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 1:03 PM Hogwarts Legacy map size and locations       The Hogwarts Legacy map allows fans to visit many of their favourite locations around the wizarding world. Whether you want to explore every mystery the castle holds, grab a drink in Hogsmeade, or just wander the gorgeous mountainous landscape, there's something for you. In such a massive open-world game, the map is crucial to your exploration, and Hogwarts Legacy is no different. With plenty of locations to explore within the school's halls and the Scottish Highlands, you need to know how to read this mammoth map, especially since it can get quite overwhelming as we explore in our Hogwarts Legacy review. Here's everything you need to know about the Hogwarts Legacy map including all the regions and major landmarks you can explore.

You must complete some late-game story quests before you can even access the room in question, and even if you do, you need to have prepped beforehand by finding a whole bunch of collectibles. Before you can get the Hogwarts Legacy Key of Admittance, you need to learn how to unlock doors with Alohomora and increase its level to three by nabbing all of the Hogwarts Legacy Demiguise Statues. On top of that, you also need to complete the quest 'The Polyjuice Plot' by finding out the Black family motto and accessing the headmaster's office. Then, and only then, will you be able to reach the Key of Admittance and unlock the final secret in the open-world game.

Fortunately, that awful-looking beret you found in the Forbidden Forest with incredible stats doesn't have to go to waste. Any piece of gear you find can be altered to take on the appearance of another item. The RPG game features a range of clothing to make your avatar stand out from the rest of the Hogwarts Legacy characters. Any piece of clothing you find in Hogwarts Legacy will appear as a transmog option. This means you don't need to hold onto your favourite clothes just because they look good. As long as the item has appeared in your inventory, you automatically unlock the ability to transmog into that piece of clothing.

PCGamesN Friday, February 17, 2023 10:11 AM How long is Hogwarts Legacy – length and time to beat       How long is the Hogwarts Legacy main story? A large chunk of the wizarding world is open to you once you reach Hogwarts Castle, but how many hours does it take to finish off the school year? If being on time and passing your classes isn't enough, you'll have all manner of fantastic beasts and goblin uprisings to deal with. It's always tough to pin down just how long it will take someone to beat an open-world game. What does finishing such an open experience look like; is it just completing the main story, or can you only close the Hogwarts Legacy book when every single loose end has been tied up? We've had time to play through the RPG game ourselves to establish how long it should take the average person to finish Hogwarts Legacy.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, February 17, 2023 12:26 PM The superb quickplay 4X Ozymandias has almost no deposit       Quickplay strategy games have always been a thing, but they appear to be gaining in popularity lately. I will probably regret not keeping Ozymandias aside for the traditional "summer strategy game for when your brain is a gas" bit, but the scene is looking healthy enough to chance it. You know that cliché feeling of "just one more turn"? Ozymandias is a bronze age 4X that builds momentum enough to turn that into "just one more game". It is incredibly easy to learn, and despite looking a little dry and number heavy, becomes more effortless, more pleasant the longer you play. It also becomes more clear how much depth there is hidden away in such a light design. It's about proving yourself the most prestigious civilisation, not through total conquest, but by exploiting the lay of the land, and leaning into your strengths. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, February 17, 2023 12:00 PM Magicka's joy is discovering quite how powerful and dangerous magic can be       I like wizards because they're the dramatic combination of powerful, cocky, and a bit dim. Through some quirk of bloodline or destiny, wizards can access impossible forces simply by saying magic words. This does not engender caution. A wizard's not a real wizard until they have accidentally set themselves on fire or unleashed an ancient evil. And if you throw four of this dim demigods together? Well, you get the co-op wizard action of the Magicka games, where freestyling elemental combinations can (and often will) lead you to heal a boss or torch your pal's face. Splendid chaos. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, February 17, 2023 10:00 AM Like A Dragon Ishin review: a step backwards in the best way       I am legendary ronin Sakomoto Ryoma. I shout "yosh!" as I harvest six (6) gleaming radishes from my allotment. I shoot a bandit in the head with a revolver. I send my adoptive daughter to trade some homemade pickles. I partake in a brooding chat, then stamp on a dude's head. I help a recluse regain his confidence. I have totally forgotten what I was meant to be doing. Like A Dragon: Ishin feels like a step backward, but in a brilliant way. Kiryu and co. may have moved onto a turn-based future, yet Sakomoto Ryoma and his pals have turned back the clock to an Edo period of brawlin' and chicken betting that's most reminiscent of Yakuza 0, only it's not the roaring 80s but the bloody 1800s. There's nothing here that will convert those who aren't keen on the series, but if you're an ardent fan or a newcomer eager to experience its wild swings between serious and silly, Ishin is an excellent place to start.

After the download, the app will take up 15 GB in your phone. Once you start the story, the data should download onto your phone. As a reminder, all of the Valentine's Day Servant events will be voiced. Some Servants will require you to have finished their corresponding story arcs before you can view their event. For example, you cannot receive Oberon's gift without completing the British Lostbelt, nor can you fully see Douman's event unless you have finished Heian-kyo. Servants you give the Blessed Chocolate to will get an attack bonus during the event. For 2023, the Valentine's Day Servant is Pope Joan, or Johanna. She appears in the commercial for the Fate/Grand Order Valentine's Day event. You can view the commercial here, though it does contain some spoilers for the Lostbelt chapters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXRVY21_4_I&t=5s As for Pope Johanna's skills, she is an Arts-based attacker. Her skills focus on increasing her NP gauge, improving her Arts performance, as well as increasing her Critical Stars and Strength on Arts attacks. Her Noble Phantasm attacks all enemies and nullifies their buffs. It also deals more damage to Evil enemies (and Human ones when Overcharged). Johanna will only be in the gacha for a limited time.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 11:00 AM Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Patch Adds New Features for Pokemon Boxes       There's a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet patch on the way, and once applied it adds more options for players' Pokemon Boxes. Namely, you'll be able to do things like rename Pokemon or adjust their item from boxes. A number of issues will also be addressed via bug fixes. This update is scheduled to appear in "late" February 2023. Prior to the update, people needed to add Pokemon to their party in order to make certain adjustments. For example, if you wanted to change the held item, you'd need to take a character from your Pokemon Boxes, then move them to your active party in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, leave that menu, and go to the main menu to make changes. The same went for changing their nicknames, altering their move set, or using a TM to teach them a new ability. There will also be new Battle Team indicators when looking at Pokemon Boxes and selection options. A number of Tera Raid issues are also repaired. Some of these dealt with the opposing Pokemon's health not being accurately reduced or all allies fainting even though they still had health and should be alive. Here are the full Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 1.2.0 patch notes from Nintendo Support. Additional functionality will be added for Pokémon Boxes: From a Pokémon's summary, players will be able to change Pokémon's nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as being able to reorder moves, have Pokémon remember moves, have Pokémon forget moves, and use TMs. Players will be able to swap out held items by pressing the Y Button when in the Held Items view. Players will be able to select All Boxes while moving Pokémon or items in the Party and Boxes view and Held Items view. When in the Battle Team view, Pokémon in your Boxes that are assigned to a Battle Team will now have their icons displayed in a darker hue if those Pokémon are members of the Battle Team that is currently being displayed. The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal. Bug Fixes Tera Raid Battles A bug that can prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon's HP gauge from properly reflecting damage done by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or certain status conditions may occur in Tera Raid Battles, resulting in the Tera Pokémon's HP gauge fluctuating in an unusual manner. This will be fixed. A bug that causes all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP may occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This will be fixed. A bug that can temporarily prevent a player from entering any input into the game may occur if a Tera Pokémon takes certain actions while the player is choosing the target of their move. This will be fixed. A bug that causes a communication error may occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle sees a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host sees. This will be fixed. A bug may occur that causes players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon different from the one they saw displayed. This will be fixed. A bug that causes Tera Raid Battle crystals to not appear for a set amount of time may occur under certain circumstances. This will be fixed. Battles Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles. A Zoroark that has Terastallized and is disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability can be identified as a Zoroark by using the Check Target option. This is a bug and will be fixed. When a Zoroark has Terastallized and is disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability, the type matchups of moves are displayed based on the type of the Pokémon that Zoroark is disguised as, rather than Zoroark's Tera Type. This is a bug and will be fixed. The stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth will increase when Dondozo uses Order Up, even when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect). This is a bug and will be fixed. If a Pokémon Terastallizes after using Destiny Bond and then faints, the effects of Destiny Bond will fail to activate. This is a bug and will be fixed. Other We will address an issue that can cause the game to forcibly close at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be a reduction of Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild. When a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex is obtained through a Link Trade, it is displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex. This is a bug and will be fixed. Certain actions can cause the main character's expressions to not change until the game is closed and reopened. This will be fixed. A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season's results had been calculated caused a communication error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This will be fixed. If a player has created several Battle Teams but does not use the Battle Team in the first slot for their Ranked Battles, they may not receive the Master Rank Ribbon after winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier. This will be fixed. When a Pokémon you caught comes back to you from another player through Link Trade, it may not listen to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app ("Pokémon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands"). This will be fixed. A bug is preventing the Pokédex from displaying additional entries (such as entries for Shiny Pokémon or Pokémon that were received through Surprise Trade from players that play in a different language) for Pokémon species that were already registered in the Pokédex. This will be fixed. Objects such as Poké Balls may be displayed in certain locations of the field unintentionally. This will be fixed. Passersby will no longer be displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story. Other select bug fixes will be implemented.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 10:30 AM Nikke Chainsaw Man Crossover Characters Previewed       A collaboration event for Goddess of Victory: Nikke and Chainsaw Man begins soon, and official accounts for the anime shared information about the Nikke x Chainsaw Man crossover characters. As previously announced, the event will involve members of Chainsaw Man's Public Safety Devil Hunters unit and add Makima, Power, and Himeno as playable characters. Aki Hayakawa and Denji are also involved in the event, but won't be playable. The Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover "Bullet x Chainsaw" launches on February 22, 2023. Shift Up began promoting the Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover with a preview of poster art for the event featuring Denji in his Chainsaw Man form. It also shared banner art of Power and Makima, as well as combat sprites for Himeno and Power. Power and Makima will be obtainable on the gacha Recruitment banner, and are of Limited status, meaning they won't be available to recruit when the event ends. [gallery columns="5" size="medium" link="file" ids="951633,951632,951631,951630,951702"] Via a tweet, Shift Up also shared a preview of Himeno and Power's appearance in cutscenes. Cutscene sprites are animated using Live2D, and the clip features voice actors Mariya Ise and Fairouz Ai playing Himeno and Power, as they did in the Chainsaw Man anime. Himeno will be freely obtainable through participation in the event, and wields the "Ghost Sight" sniper rifle weapon. Here's Himeno's Live2D preview. https://twitter.com/NIKKE_en/status/1626144435212894209?s=20 And here's Power's. https://twitter.com/NIKKE_en/status/1626506805349175296?s=20 Notably, the Tweet also lists the Devil Hunter characters' "Manufacturer." Nikke characters are all cyborgs created by one of four in-game factions (Elysion, Missilis, Tetra Line, and the Pilgrims). "Abnormal" could be a fifth faction, or a reference to the fact that Chainsaw Man characters aren't affiliated with any in-game Nikke faction. Another preview image for the crossover dropped more hints about the playable Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover characters, and how players will be able to use them in their existing squads. The paper notes beside each character's photo indicate their classification and traits, which are important for fitting them into a Nikke squad. Himeno is a wind-element SR-rarity unit, wielding a Sniper Rifle, with a Level 2 Burst Skill. She's classified as a Support-type unit, as well. Power is a fire-element SSR unit that uses a launcher that looks like the head of her Blood Fiend form. She's an Attacker-type with a Level 3 Burst Skill. Makima is a water-element SSR wielding a Submachine Gun. She's typed as a Defender, with a Level 2 Burst Skill. The Nikke Chainsaw Man crossover event launches on February 22, 2023. The game is available on iOS, Android, and PC. A pre-launch login campaign is ongoing, rewarding players who log into the game with recruitment tickets and other bonuses.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 10:00 AM Review: Like a Dragon: Ishin! Cultivates Your Interest       Like a Dragon: Ishin! is the latest farming simulation from retro game compilation developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. In it, you'll play as the familiar-looking Ryoma and rebuild a farm and become a father figure to orphan Haruka. There's also some other things like fights and intrigue, we guess? Read on for our full breakdown. Confused by Ishin? That's totally understandable. As Sega continues its unenviable effort of trying to rebrand the Yakuza franchise in the West to its original Japanese name, that's going to happen, and doing so with a game in a different time and setting compounds the problem. (After all, the Story of Seasons team is still dealing with lingering Harvest Moon confusion!) What you need to know? Yep, it's the same franchise, and reverting to the original name makes a lot more sense when many of the games have much less of a focus on organized crime. Ishin is, despite making its Western debut, a remake of a 2014 game with the same general premise and gameplay. Much like the Kiwami releases, this one has seen updates to accompany the remaster, including a move to Unreal Engine 4. This has a number of effects on players' experience! It looks nice, clearly. It suffers, though, from some of the same problems as 60-frame-per-second films. There's a lot of detail and great lighting, but with environments that aren't as cluttered as the modern-day titles, things end up feeling more like a movie set or theme park than a real place as their artifice is more noticeable in higher definition. Ishin also suffers from a number of technical issues. The franchise's tactical reuse of withered technology brought with it some of its own problems in the past, but here we saw some different pain points. Sometimes, menu selections just didn't load and you could still choose blindly to continue but it wasn't ideal. Playing for a long time at once (which, surprise, we review folk have to do a lot) led to some serious slowdown when loading a scripted sequence or talking to a vendor. It's tolerable, and we bet RGG Studio can patch many of these issues! But you should know about them going in. It always takes a bit for a Ryu Ga Gotoku game to open up and get good, and Ishin is no exception. The early hours are a slog that tries to get you invested in the story, and we find this to be way less effective than the open parts that let you opt in to the main narrative when you feel like it. And hey, by doing some of the side activities, like becoming a samurai cop and exposing your mentor's killer, you can unlock cool upgrades for your farm! You'll definitely need to bring along some patience or tolerance for tedium to deal with some of Like a Dragon: Ishin's substories. One has you listening to very long stories from a talkative lady and answering questions to make sure you paid attention. One has you chop a bunch of logs over and over. Perhaps the most egregious? Ones that make you keep performing the same fetch quests over and over. There's a kid who loves vegetables, and he's endearing! But the number of times you have to push through the same prompts to hand him a veggie? Too high. Similar is the battered defender, who just needs you to stuff his gullet with medicine about 50 times. Still, in some of these substories lies the true charm of the franchise. Ishin even includes a story explanation for why you can find items in pots and why it's totally fine to take them. Just in case you want to take a break from the clear core gameplay here of farming just outside of town with your best pal Haruka — and we don't know why you would — it's good to get acquainted with the combat system! You can switch between four styles at almost any time. The fist-fighting of Brawler wasn't our taste, but you do end up using it when you're surprised without your weapons handy. Swordsman style is probably what you'd expect to see most in a throwback setting, and we found it most useful for one-on-one boss-battle standoffs. Gunman lets you just shoot with reckless abandon, and we used it a lot on low-level fights to finish them before foes even got close. But let's use the luxury and prestige of a paragraph break to wax a bit about Wild Dancer. The fourth combat style is our go-to favorite, and works in so many settings. Sure, using a firearm and a sword at the same time is cool, but what makes Wild Dancer so good is its dodge. Ryoma spins and avoids almost any attack, even at close range, as long as you're paying attention. It's definitely the one to use against a pack of fighters, but we — admittedly action game amateurs — ran through boss fights untouched in ways we just haven't been able to manage in other similar games. Wild Dancer? It gets our seal of approval. Accompanying all of these styles is the new Trooper Card system. You can equip extra effects, like special attacks and healing, and upgrade these cards a lot like a gacha mobile game. We found the effects helpful enough without micromanaging too much, and in the pre-release review period, we couldn't address how broken those DLC cards might be. So if the system puts you off, it's probably fine to not mess with them too much and enjoy some minor health regeneration or whatever else shows up by default. Like a Dragon: Ishin! uses the likeness and mannerisms of fictional protagonist Kiryu Kazuma to play real historical figure Sakamoto Ryoma as he pretends to be a man named Saito Hajime. It's exactly as confusing as it sounds for both newcomers and returning fans. It's fun to see familiar faces play the roles of characters in the adventure, but you may need to take notes or check the relationship chart in the menu often. There's even a "Dragon of Dojima" skin for the protagonist, and equipping it makes things even more confusing. There are a lot of references to real-life history in Ishin that for sure won't land with a Western audience, but we're glad it's there for the curious. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega even implemented a helpful contextual glossary, defining specific terms of the region and era. It's totally unobtrusive, but when you want some clarity, you can hit the button in the middle of dialogue. With the old faces playing these roles, its story feels more like a stage play than ever. And we're no experts, but we get the feeling that the game approaches adherence to history similarly. Many characters have names of real-life people, and those names usually do have something to do with how they're portrayed. But, and we're sure you didn't need us to tell you this, please don't use this as a serious educational tool. The localization adds a few chuckles, especially when using modern phrasing in this old-timey context. But it works well with the rest of the game's strange juxtapositions. At its best when its focus is divided, Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a fun Bakumatsu sandbox. It doesn't have the engrossing standout minigame like the cabaret or business management challenges of previous titles, and its time period means it also doesn't pack a fun arcade. But its jack-of-all-trades approach still resonates. Like a Dragon: Ishin! launches February 21, 2023 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox. It's developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. Deluxe pre-orders include early access for players, allowing them to start playing on February 17, 2023.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 9:30 AM Pokemon Wailord Plush is 4 feet, 9 Inches Long       Among Pokemon, Wailord is among the largest. According to its Pokedex entry, it measures nearly 14.5 meters (47 feet) in length, larger than even real-life blue whales. Unlike with the life-size Lucario, though, The Pokemon Company, has opted for a more manageable scale for its Pokemon Wailord plush toy. The Pokemon Wailord plush is, sizing aside, a rendition of the massive cetacean Pokemon. It appears much as it did in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire on the Game Boy Advance. The Wailord plush measures at 1/10th scale of the real one, making it roughly 1.45 meters in length (about 4 feet and 9 inches). It weighs 6.5 kilograms (about 14 lbs). The Pokemon Wailord plush is available from the Pokemon Center online store in Japan. Pre-orders are open through March 13, 2023, and orders will ship out in August 2023. The plush will cost 49,500 Yen to purchase (about $367 USD). The official Pokemon account also tweeted some pictures of the Wailord plush in everyday situations, to help fans imagine themselves possessing their own. [gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="951655,951656,951657,951658" link="file"] Wailord is one of the largest Pokemon in the franchise. Known as "Whaloh" in Japanese, it evolves from the Wailmer, which is much smaller at about 2 meters (6 feet) tall. Much like a real-life whale, it eats food while swimming, and is able to leap out of the water to make tremendous splashes. On a single breath, it can dive close to 10,000 feet (about 3 kilometers). The Wailord Plush is available for pre-order until March 13, 2023 in Japan. Wailord itself appeared in Pokemon games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as their 3DS-based remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 9:00 AM FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 Ticket Sales Involve a Lottery       It seems people interested in buying a FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 ticket won't be guaranteed to get one, as Square Enix announced there will be a lottery. Rather than outright buying one for the Las Vegas, Nevada event, active players can apply for a chance to buy one and attend. People can sign up for a chance to get one between February 17-25, 2023. Those picked can purchase one between March 6-13, 2023. General sales will open after that. Here's how it will all work. The Player-Exclusive Ticket Purchase Application for FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 is now open online. Someone must have an active North American Square Enix account and game subscription to register there. If they are picked, an access code will be sent to their email on March 3, 2023. Then, on March 6, 2023, they can head to Showclix to purchase up to two tickets for $199.99 each for the event. That will get you in for both days and a goody bag. If any tickets are left after the FFXIV Fan Festival 2023 player lottery ends, then there will be a General Sales Period. There's no end-date for that, should it happen. However, there will still be a two-ticket limit on purchases. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. The FFXIV Fan Festival will be held July 28-29, 2023. The Player-Exclusive Ticket Purchase Application lottery is open now, ahead of sales running February 17-25, 2023.

Siliconera Friday, February 17, 2023 8:30 AM The JOJOLands Protagonist Jodio Joestar Wants to Be Rich       Part 9 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, The JOJOLands, started on February 17, 2023 in Ultra Jump. Because of this, we also know some more information about the titular JoJo, as well as his quest. Jodio Joestar is the name of the JoJo in The JOJOLands and the story centers on how he became a filthy rich millionaire. However, the mechanism he used to achieve that was rather unconventional. As a warning, the first chapter of The JOJOLands does have a scene of a cop sexually assaulting a character. The JOJOLands takes place in Oahu, Hawaii some time around 2021. Even in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe, COVID-19 exists. Stands will still be the main power system in The JOJOLands, and we get a glimpse of three of the main characters'. Again, all of the Stand names are song references. We also get a quick overview of Jodio Joestar and his past, as well as his family structure, in the first chapter. It seems that Jodio's story will be similar to Giorno's in Golden Wind. As a reminder, Giorno was the protagonist of Vento Aureo, which was Part 5. Giorno wanted to be the leader of the local gang (a gang star, to be more precise), and what started as a normal escort mission soon became something bigger than that. The JOJOLands has started serialization in Ultra Jump. It is unclear when the official English version for it will come out.

Also, Caribert will be the new Archon Quest. Dainsleif will be there, which means the story will focus on the Khaenri'ah story line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcTUi59vw_E&ab_channel=GenshinImpact   While the stream did not state a specific date for the next update, the Battle Pass and banners for 3.4 will end on February 28, 2023.

As is common with the Windblume Festival, there will be some minigames. One is Floral Pursuit, which tasks the Traveler with going through a space collecting balloons. However, there will also be hostile balloons that will pursue you. If caught, you could end up losing and your run can end.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, February 17, 2023 1:46 PM Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened delay announced in video that offers glimpse into Ukraine conflict       As Ukrainian studio Frogwares continues to develop its remake of 2006's Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, the Russian invasion keeps presenting complications. Because of this, the studio announced that it would delay the release of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, albeit only by a few weeks. After its initial projected release window of late February to early March, Frogwares will now aim to release the game between late March and early April. This time, though, Frogwares did not relay this news through a written statement.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, February 17, 2023 12:00 PM Like a Dragon: Ishin PC Port Report — Samurai I amurai       Another RGG Studio PC port has graced us. Like a Dragon: Ishin! is the first of the studio's games to run on Unreal Engine 4, and so the PC port is a little different than those of the Dragon Engine games. While the game is being touted as a remake, that isn't really true. All of the geometry and animations from the original 2014 release were all ported to this new engine alongside a lot of the less important character models. The textures have been redone and major models have been updated or changed outright. But, at its core, you're still very much looking at a game that's nearly a decade old. Surprisingly, the game's install size is a whopping 58 GB — which is a bit much, no? As such, Like a Dragon: Ishin is a lot easier to run than any of the examples from the more recent series entries. While walking around, my framerate was mostly a solid 90-120 fps without any major dips. It was quite smooth for me while I was moving from place to place or...
