I'm playing Apollo Justice on my N3DS after playing Phoenix Wright 2 and 3. So far I find it less interesting, I played it for a bit way back in the DS days but can't remember much. Strangely enough, Maya Fei is my favourite character of the franchise, with her half a brain cell and all.

I'm also trying to get through Persona 5 Royal, I've tried 4 times between the original on PS3 and this one. I can't get engaged enough and it's so frustrating. I loved Persona 3 and 4 and have played them a few times since I discovered them in 2011 or so and was really hyped for 5 for years. But 5 feels like a worse Persona 4, despite all the enhancements. I just finished the third palace (the farthest I ever got was the fourth palace a few years ago) and I haven't touched it in a couple of days because I can't find the will to go on. Maybe it's me who has changed, although I still find 3 and 4 very enjoyable.

I'd say it's a bit of both. I have the impression that they wanted to do a better Persona 4 but for me the characters feel more artificial and the game feels bloated in comparison. By wanting to expand on everything that made P4 so good, they expanded everything a bit too much for me. And reading the game lasts some 100-120 hours reinforces this feeling and makes me uncomfortable, which shouldn't be the case with such a beloved franchise.

I'm playing it on Steam Deck, the sleep function is a godsend.

If I understand correctly, you own a Steam Deck. I haven't tried it, but this plugin could be useful for your use case.

From the README:

A Steam Deck plugin for the Decky Plugin Loader that makes it possible to pause and resume games even for those that don't have an immediate pause option.

Useful for when you wish to temporarily suspend an application in order to redirect the cpu and gpu ressources to another without having to close it.

Since used RAM and VRAM won't be able to be recovered from paused apps you might look into tweaking your swapfile to make things smoother: https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities

It sends the SIGSTOP signal to all the children of the reaper process to stop the execution and SIGCONT to resume them. (Signal (IPC))

Sonic 3 is still my favourite Sonic to this day.

better revenue shares for developers?
Money bonuses for exclusivity is great for developers?

It actually goes to publishers, so the only way devs see that extra cut is by self-publishing. So I guess for smaller indie devs it can be a good deal.

Have you tried the Neo-Geo click stick? If so, how good is it?

Out of 394 games, I've only paid 53,50€ or more for 3 of them. What a cheap bastard LMAO

Just so you know, Heroic also supports GOG and Prime Gaming, you can still find some good use for it.

For some reason Lutris gives me trouble when downloading GOG games quite often, so I was forced to look for alternatives and that's when I found about Heroic

Is this the "super game" they were advertising some time ago?

At least it's stated in the game's Steam page. Dead Space Remake has Denuvo since day 1 and there was no warning in their Steam page at all for a long time. Last time I checked they had added the warning, though.

There were similar rumours about the Switch back when it was just NX. It was going to be above the Xbox One and below PS4 in terms of power. Maybe I'll have to eat my words without even peeling them, but this hasn't been Nintendo's strategy since the Gamecube and I doubt it's going to change now, especially after how well the Switch has sold and is still selling.

I think Inquisition is actually Bioware's second best selling game, and EA only sees money. So I'm afraid that's what we can expect from Dreadwolf: another Inquisition, or even something more watered-down to cater to wider audiences.

And I wish Square Enix (among others) didn't charge 80€ for their AAA titles. If there was no competition, prices would probably be even worse.

Maybe Rapelay?

I'd like to recommend Pentiment. Narrative-driven game set in the Middle Ages, or rather at the end of the Middle Ages. It has an interesting story and according to some historians it's historically accurate. I loved the story, the setting, the art...

Watch a review or something and give it a try if you find it of your liking.

Yes please, I've been waiting for a long time!

They tried to aim for a more premium console with the N64 and the Gamecube, and the result was Sony ate their lunch.

To be fair, they shot themselves in the foot by not using CD-ROM and regular DVDs respectively. The Nintendo 64 was a very anticipated piece of hardware, but they took too long to release it and then many companies jumped ship due to said lack of CD-ROM, how long they took and cheaper licensing too most likely.

They never actually competed on equal terms thanks to Yamauchi's stubbornness.
