This is correct, I use a US PS5 in Japan and there is no issue.
I just have multiple PSN accounts for different regions. Even if you wanted to use the off-region PSN account outside that region you could, you would just have to do some workarounds to fund the digital wallet. Though there are plenty of sites that sell PSN codes that would work, I have used in the past and never been an issue.
Yen too, even factoring in exchange rates it is about 850 USD in JPY. In terms of relative purchasing power, it is well over 1000 USD.
We designed the damn thing and it is the most expensive here. I can't imagine they will have all that many domestic sales.
It...depends probably.
You can definitely build a competent gaming PC for less than a PS5, depending on the games you want to play. If you are playing like Factorio and Rimworld, you don't need a 4090 or something like that.
I think a PS5 is probably better value if you are just looking at raw tech specs for technically demanding games. Historically consoles (except sometimes Nintendo consoles) are sold at a loss because the platform holder makes money back on software. I have no idea if this is true for the Pro, though I imagine it is.
But on the high-end, PCs are definitely more expensive. The PC I just built cost me several times more than a PS5 Pro would have. It is almost certainly technically more powerful than the Pro would be and I can do a lot more with it besides just play games.
For me, makes no sense to replace my PS5 with a Pro. I don't even care about the whole disc drive thing people are in arms about, I haven't bought a physical game since the PS3 era. My PS5 has a drive that has never been used once. I just don't really see the benefit of the upgrade when I have the base version and a PC already.
" If the player allows the counter-revolutionary Trotskyists to take over the Supreme Soviet, it is possible to establish socialist governments around the world through Permanent Revolution and even dismantle the United States in less than six years"
That is certainly an...optimistic viewpoint of Trotskyists.
I really liked the Devil Survivor games. Tactical strategy RPG in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Incidentally one of my favourite big franchises.
They re-released the first game on the 3DS and it's a solid port. Speaking of SMT games, SMT: Strange Journey is another good one. It has that very classic dungeon-exploring RPG vibe though, which isn't for everyone. Think Etrian Odyssey or the old Wizardry games.
I think this is extremely unlikely, the days of the government actually pushing back against corporations in any meaningful way in the US seems largely over.
Even if somehow it did go through, there would be functionally very little impact. They'd sulk a bit about the government stifling "innovation", walk away with their tail between their legs, and then go back to operating almost entirely unchanged.
Pajitnov moved to the US in the 90s, started the Tetris company, and has had political positions pretty sympathetic to the US. Tetris company mostly just exists to liscense out Tetris and sue people.
The Dead Cells takeover wasn’t anything shady really. Evil Empire (the current team) was created by Motion Twin because they wanted to expand development as a bigger studio and found their structure made that difficult. Motion Twin remains a coop and retains creative control of the IP.
I have a real-debrid account (that’s 30 usd/year) and I use the infuse app (10 usd/year) to access things I’ve synced onto my Apple TV. ATV isn’t the best way to sync stremio content, but it works with this setup and I don’t need to buy any new hardware.
I’ve considered setting up a streaming server at some point, but it works for the time being.
Part of me is morbidly curious what they try to do. I would never give that studio money now after what they did, but I want to see how mainstream they try to go.
They'd probably make it an action RPG or something.
I am mixed, it depends on what I am trying to do and also if I paid anything for an app.
"Free" apps in the west are just a marketing case-study and trying to funnel me into as many additional purchases as it possibly can. Chinese is maybe an overwhemling amount of information, but often at least more relevant. It also tends to make a lot more sense for somebody who is engaging with mobile devices primarily, rather than as an extension of a home ecosystem (which the video does touch on a bit).
It also makes perfect sense to have a "one size fits all" app approach in an environment that doesn't need to parcel your attention out over a bunch of different companies.
"Premium" apps that I already bought into, I admit I often prefer the minimalistic style of design more. That could also just be me, I prefer that in the way I decorate and organise most things I do, digitally and in real life.
I haven't been into a Zelda game in a LONG time. The last one I really loved was Link to the Past, though I liked Ocarina well enough.
Couldn't stand Breath of the WIld or Tears of the Kingdom, and I was worried that was all the series was going to be moving forward.
I am curious about this one. I would put it on my "wait for a sale" shelf, but it is a Nintendo game so that will never happen.
They are not. Asia (this comprises most SE asian countries), China, Japan, and SK are each separate regions.
Not quite as uniform as Europe, which is basically just one big region.
