    I played and got the platinum trophy for Taco Master on Vita. It's basically a phone game, but it was on sale for half price ($2.99 -> $1.49). You do a lot of swiping to build the tacos people order. It was kind of fun, mildly challenging, and good for a bunch of quick trophies. Only noticed this game because Greg Miller (of Kinda Funny Games) kept insisting it's the greatest game on Vita (lol). 

     

    I spent most of the weekend binge-playing The WItcher 3. I pissed off Yennefer on purpose, because I'm on Team Triss, and the result was pretty funny. A moment that stood out in one of the most depressing settings I've ever seen in a game.

    This talk of Gackt reminds me that I miss old Gackt. (unlike other people, I could not stand Malice Mizer but I was a big fan of Gackt solo)

     

    My favourite Gackt album was MOON, released back in 2002. The last music of his that I actually liked was from RE:BORN (2009). Nothing he's released since then has stuck with me..... except I really loved his version of Episode.0, but he didn't write that one.

    I've only been really into VK since 2010, and I still really love it. I am not likely to "burn out" because I don't listen to songs/albums on repeat, and I still listen to non-VK artists. I also lack the time/willingness to seek out new bands to listen to, so maybe I'm not as exposed to "shitty" bands as others are.. I have a bunch that I like and I tend to stick with them. Even within the limited group of bands I listen to, there are bands with interesting ideas, or great lyrics, or vocalists with really nice/intriguing voices, etc.

     

     

    I cannot stand 80s/90s VK though. I haven't liked anything I've heard (full disclosure: I haven't heard very much). A big part of it might be the production values (or, lack of good-quality rips). Modern VK just sounds so much better to me, from a technical quality standpoint.. (and I don't even care if the vocalist has been auto-tuned like hell, as long as it makes them *sound* pleasant enough to my ear.) I also really hate the look of old school VK bands.. the makeup and hair just look bad to me (plus, lack of photoshop).

    new Uncharted 4 trailer just dropped and it looks absolutely breathtaking.

     

    Like holy shit that looks so good... Naughty Dog seems like they're working their programming magic on PS4 just like they did with PS3. It still boggles me how they get their games to look so good on such outdated hardware (outdated by PC standards), like if you go back and look at Uncharted 3 and TLOU on PS3 you probably would never guess the hardware it's running on is outdated by like 10 years xD

     

     

    Trailer was removed because of some controversy. A framed photo/painting in the trailer was revealed to be original concept art "stolen" from Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag.

     

    Here's the slightly modified trailer:

     

     

    There is a lot to be said for dedicated hardware. PCs can pack a lot of power, but I think the problem is optimization? When there are pretty much infinite combinations of hardware components, it can be difficult to optimize. Also, PCs are not dedicated - they have to reserve power/memory for other programs & background processes.

     

    When a game developer has hardware with set specifications, especially in the case of Naughty Dog which is owned by that hardware's manufacturer and probably has a gigantic budget, they can accomplish a lot more than you'd think is possible.

     

    (I based all of that on forum chatter I've read over the years, I don't really know a lot about it.)

     

    I have never played an Uncharted game, though I 'own' Uncharted 3 & Golden Abyss via PlayStation Plus. Actually, I did play a demo of the first game but the gun fight it gave me was very off-putting. I don't really like guns in games....

    In case you missed it before, this is not the first Otome dating sim Mahiro has been in.

     

    "Boku wa anata ni koisuru" (Falling in love with you) was released 3 years ago, and featured 6 VK vocalists.

     

    Aoi (Aoi-168-)

    Yugiri (DaizyStripper)

    Mahiro (Kiryu)

    Mitsu (ν[NEU])

    yo-ka (DIAURA)

    Subaru (Royz)

     

    That's the only one I know of.

    I actually downloaded it to my phone, but didn't want to pay $3.99 for each dude so I never played it.

    "Bakumatsu Meiji ~Koisuru Ryujinsama~" 

     

    Platforms: iOS 6.0+ / Android 2.3.3+ (it specifies docomo/au/Softbank, not sure if that means it's limited to those carriers?)

    Plot intro (please excuse my quick and possibly inaccurate translation):

     

    You were on a vacation with your friends, but suddenly got dizzy and traveled through time to the Meiji era. A mysterious group of 5 people found you.

    "Why is there a person here??" says Kurosaki Mahiro, mercilessly pointing a sword at you.

     

    These men are Ryujin (dragon gods/spirits) called "Kiryu" who were forced to take human form by Amaterasu (the Shinto sun goddess). To return to the Palace of the Dragon King, they have a mission to defeat an evil god, and somehow you are forced to help them ?!?! On top of that, your duty is to work in the red-light district as an Oiran (courtesan) to extract info about the evil god from soldiers.

     

    While working to complete the mission and return to your own world, love is born..........

    Which Ryujin will you fall in love with?
