    Does anyone have any bite sized Japanese game recommendations (or does such a thing exist)?

    I’ve only ever played Final Fantasy games but I love them so much that I’d like to try other Japanese styles games.

    However, I’ve no clue where to start.

    I’ve just come off the back of playing AC: Odyssey so looking for a relatively short game to dip into.

    Any help would be really appreciated, cheers!

    RPGs or just general Japanese games?
    Was thinking of Short Peace but seems PS3 only

    Yeah so true. Even the nice new ones when they come out (like the savage Alpine Green version) if you're prepared to spend full price don't last in stock for long at all.
    I'd love the alpine green, I'm hoping it'll come back into Smyths, seems best price for it atm

    I googled that when I saw your reply last week. Wouldn't really be my cup of tea, but of course now Facebook is advertising it to me...

    Ended up getting the Alpine Green off Amazon, seemed to be sold out in most places.
    The sunset orange one was pretty nice too

    Would highly recommend Ace Combat 7. Just super, super fun gameplay and the storyline is utter bonkers like the best JRPG

    Devil May Cry 5, Deception 4, Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush 2, Ys VIII would be other recommendations.

    Sony financial reports out.

    Says they've shipped 96.8m PS4s.

    Pretty insane numbers. It will be a push though to beat PS2 lifetime sales.

    Ps1 sure but ps2 would be half it's lifetime sales again.

    Unless there's some cross gen reason I don't see it beating ps2.

    Looking up Wikipedia for the sales figures of the different consoles, I was surprised to see that the PS3 slightly pipped the 360. I always presumed it was the other way around by a big enough margin.

    PS3 finished strong. TLOU probably sold a lot of consoles near the end.

    Plus MS had the extra year or so on Sony to generate those sales!
    I mean, I had gone through about 5 or 6 360s by the time the cycle was over, but only had the 1 ps3 (still have it actually). :)

    If next gen had a bit more cross over, cross buy between gens then PS4 could pass ps2 otherwise no.

    The fact everyone knows the PS5 is backwards compatible won't help sales right now either.

    I picked one up too. It is absolutely beautiful and feels great - a lot better than previous models I have.

    Not my favourite shade of green, but it really does pop with the white buttons and the yellow arrows :)

    Anything was better than what I had tbf, but yeah buttons feel good. I'm sure I'll feel the difference after playing it more, only threw on P5Dan for like 30 mins

    There is improved Dualshock 4, this likely would be one.

    You can tell the v2 as they've got a small part at the top of the touch pad where light from the main light bar can show through.

    Improved shoulder and trigger reliability.
    Stick material is different (some V1 are too but this is def)
    Play over USB on PS4

    Not sure about battery.

    I have one of the new ones bought with my PS4 pro. My older one for standard PS4 had better battery life.

    Probably an unpopular opinion but I'd still buy official wired controllers if they existed.

    Oddly wireless is faster when it's not too much interference.

    Other than if you're in the middle of a gaint competitive scene or in an apartment where there's hundreds of 2.4Ghz source where the wired would be better.

    Weird, could have sworn there was an official wired one!
    Must have been in a different reality... :)

    I am in the same boat tbh

    The battery life is poor would much prefer a wired controller
