Ah good ol' Championship/Football Manager. Now there is a game that belongs in the games you had to give up because of time thread.

Oh like a Dragon Gaiden, that is a nice surprise as i wasn't going to get it, because of no physical release.
You can get physical off Play-Asia for $40. Well, plus shipping (free at $100+) but no taxes in US at least.

That said, yeah, not a bad title overall. It’s shorter but should still be good Yakuza entree.

FYI, Like a Dragon Man who Erased etc etc also comes with an Infinite Wealth demo.

Yes, I know about Play Asia, but I don't want to support it (no physical release), the same goes for Alan Wake 2.

no interest in any of those but ive got Forza and Alan Wake 2 on the go already and looking forward to Jusant thats out today
 
Damn, I was thinking Wild Hearts was a spiritual sequel/prequel to Vandal Hearts, but the realization that it is a Konami IP means that it will never happen. Then open the thread and oh yeahhh, that EA kinda like Monster Hunter game.

This all happened within 3 seconds lol

I was going to get Yakuza and was waiting for Wild Hearts for dirty cheap, also Wartales and Jussant seems interesting.

Playing Headbangers now and its not bad. Fun party game. Takes a while to get in a game though.

Its not exactly what I thought it was. Its not really a rhythm game. You have a small window of time to hit the commands. Being on beat doesnt seem to matter so far. Probably the right call with 30 people in a game and lag being a thing. Can still be a bit challenging.

Its fun to survive to the end.

5 hours of WRC? Perfect, probably don’t need more than that to get my fill hahahaha.

I wonder if my save in the cloud will work for wild hearts. Game ran like pure cheeks on release, but I got pretty far. May pick it back up now if it’s not running horrible.

Fired up dead space remake today on gamepass ultimate. Isaac looks and sounds awful . What a bitch. Game crashed my pc with a blue screen. May pick it back up but likely won’t .

Farthest Ive gotten is 5th place.

I was wrong. It goes full rhythm game in later events. Last event was 5 people. 1 mistake on the beat and you die. Last man standing.

This is a good party game.

Got first place my first run through Headbangers. Second place on my second. It's fun, I don't know how much staying power it'll really have but as a rhythm game fan it's neat.

I regret even more having bought Wild Hearts at launch. I'm so dumb.
All EA games will come eventually, I've gotten in the habit of just holding off. Unless it's something massive like Star Wars you'll see them all come in 8-12 months after release if you're willing to wait it out

This is a good party game.
Me and my daughter have been playing it a lot lately. As someone who used to be a drummer in my youth, I was 100% sure I'm going to win easily, but no dice. Some kids are just super good at it - I fared way better in stuff like Animal Party or Fall Guys. That said, if the game chooses a minigame that I have played before then I usually end up at top5. Funnily enough I totally suck at the pushing cart one.

Anyway, sometimes I just want a game with infantile, silly sense of humour and Headbangers Rhythm Royale delivers.

Also, loaded up Wartales. Didn't play it, really, just looked at what to expect from it. Looks like a hardcore turn based game and clearly a PC game at heart. Super small text (you can enlarge it in settings) and tons of visual settings.
