Same. I've played the other games with a friend and they were always a blast.

"Quietly"
They still show the old prices, but charge the new ones?
/rant Even with a press release or something, people say stuff happens quietly, just because the info wasn't beamed directly into their heads.
There's no opportunity. Intel sat on their ass for years, but NVIDIA is actually innovating. One bad-to-mediocre gen won't do anything, especially since AMD decided to sit out the high-end market this time.
They also have to follow NVIDIA, because they're just too big. If AMD introduced the RT and ML hardware six years ago, nobody would have cared, because they had like 15% market share. Now it's even worse and AMD has to fight for the scraps with Intel.
Latest prices, listed on the Microcenter site, indicate that AMD is indeed screwing it up.
I loved 0, but every time I started Kiwami my eyes just glazed over. I played a few hours of Like a Dragon, but didn't get far. Maybe some day I'll give it another shot.
For someone who doesn't really play these, but might like to, it feels like a new Yakuza game comes out every few months, which is just too much.
Looks like I was wrong, with so many different models affected, this has to be intentional.
Who knows if this always happens, but the firmware usually hides it, and like you said, people attribute the performance difference to the binning lottery (or most don't even notice).
This is just speculation on my part, but I guess they are detected, but the firmware just doesn't use all of them. I think the chips are all a bit different, with different defects, parts removed, and stuff like that.
Happened in the past already, and was solved with a vBIOS update. It will probably be the same here, unless the parts were really lasered off or something.
Every one of those got confused about the title and thought it's the new one.
I've played three time through Remake. First when it launched on Normal and Hard difficulty, and then again, last December in anticipation for Rebirth.
While I didn't mind too much my first time, the game definitely has a lot of very slow sections. Like you mentioned, you are constantly forced to walk very slowly, wait for animations, etc. It really feels like Square tried to pad the game a lot.
I really liked the combat at first, but my on Hard difficulty it got terrible. I was always annoyed, that your other party members just stood around and never attacked. Rebirth fixed it a little bit, since they actually are doing stuff, just deal basically no damage and don't get ATB charge. A few fights are also just terribly designed in my opinion, and Rebirth just doubled down here.
About things not carrying over, I was also a bit disappointed at first, that you basically have to start from scratch in Rebirth, but it wasn't a big deal. The sequel has other, bigger problems, in my opinion, that drag it down.
The main reason I still like the game, are the characters. If not for them, the very first playthrough would have been enough.
AMD tried everything to mess this launch up, but it looks like it came out alright. It's not amazing, except maybe compared to the 50-series.
Watched the HUB video and gonna watch this as well, but if cards are actually available at MSRP (should be 720€ or something in Germany I think), I might get one and give Linux a proper shot.
