Yakuza 7 has new game+ and higher difficulty behind a DLC paywall! Wheeeee! If you're a fan of Yakuza or Ryu ga Gotoku Studios in general, you know this is a dirty cockslap to the face. My most anticipated game of the year has been torpedoed into a no-buy. 2020!

Honestly, I'm fine with this in a way. It'll make it much easier to lay off the new game purchases this year (which oddly enough was my plan long before the virus thing had cropped up anyway). This will allow me to stockpile some more cash and also focus more hours on review games and my insane backlog as well as my writing work.

We've got a stupid as fuck temp law here, where no one, and I mean no one, is allowed 6ft near one another. Stores are only allowing 5 people in at a time, no cash in hand allowed, have tow ear gloves, only one tin of soup per person (same for pasta), game stores temp closing down, night clubs/pubs shut down until further notice, and restaurants just flat out not serving, takeouts not taking cash in hand, as well as dropping the food at your doorstep, no matter the weather.

It's absolutely not normal at all, and it's starting to really piss me off. Like holy hell, I don't think I've ever had this much irl frustration in my entire life (I have outstanding bills to pay but no one will accept cash, and the banks are closed...wtf am I supposed to even do?).

Where are you?

Take one, and kickback... relax.

Now repeat after me "This is fine!"

Brazil has a population of like ~210 million.
If this only kills 7 thousand people there, thats getting off lightly.

That sounds very differnt from how things are in denmark.

Appart from hand sanitisers required used, before entery, and also after leaveing shops, and keeping good distances.... its almost like normal here.
Supermarkets are still fully stocked with everything ect, there arnt limits on what or how much you can buy. Also yes, they want card/plastic, instead of money in hand.

Yes night clubs/pubs are shut down, thats just good common sense.
Restaurants, still have take out here.... and dropping food at doorstep is smart.


"I don't think I've ever had this much irl frustration in my entire life"

You sound like you need that Corona beer more than the other guy.
Did you expect things to just go on as if absolutely nothing was going on, mid a pandemic?

40-60% of the worlds population might get this, and it'll kill untold numbers of the elderly.
Lots of young people will get scaring on their lunges, and be marked forever by it.

Vanga predicted this.

I admire your fortitude. 

If it was me in your position and the game was either cyberpunk or halo... I'd fold and buy them day one 

I live in one of the most hard hit countries and I can honestly say that this year has been almost exclusively positive for me. My introversion is no longer treated as weird, but as heroism, I work less and from home, despite my employer previously saying that was impossible. My lifestyle hasn't changed a bit.

The only negative thing I can think of is that I am currently unsure if my fully planned Japan trip this October is still gonna happen. And if it is not I'm gonna save a shit ton of money. Can't wait what cool things 2021 has in store for me.
