There is a skate shop named Pokemon Center? TIL.
No, Pokemon Center is the official Pokemon retail store (they even have one in NYC.).

One of the special items that they will be selling is this one Pikachu board.

This is not the exact same one since the design is different but this video should give you an idea of what it's like. It cost $250USD and I plan to buy the wall mount as well.


It went on sale earlier today but an issue happened. So they are not sold out. Hopefully I can get one. In the past they have only made like 100 of the board.

I could be wrong but I think I read that they would make a few hundred of these.

Fuuuck, this makes me scared for Idolmaster.
This is why I really liked the ability to switch regions before.

PS. if anyone knows a way to switch regions nowadays to JP, hit me up.

Yeah, it sucks, it's just that these are the first KT game that are locked afaik, they have several JP only games that arent.
It's not even that I require it in English, I just reaaally want Idolmaster on PC. Don't force me to do it the "other" way. I understand why Bandai doesn't release the Super Robot Wars games outside of Asia, but don't they own Idolmaster?

I don't know how steam gifts work for region-locked apps but would it be possible to trade a steam gift from a Japanese user?

Nope, as far I know, no, you need a local payment method :(

So, abut the blurry mess that is Hitman 2 content in Hitman 3. Let's imagine it's also releasing on Steam, what do you need to qualify for a content import ?
I'm not planning to buy it on EGS but wondering what I should buy to be eligible when the time comes.
I have Hitman 1 GOTY, which gave me Hitman 1 in Hitman 2 (Humble Choice).

Is the Expansion Pass the only thing I need or do I need the ridiculously priced gold edition or whatever ?
Because the Pass is 10 or so in Humble if you have a Choice sub.

You need the expansion pass which will give two more locations and two more sniper locations

Let's say that Hitman 3 is finally on Steam. If it's same as Hitman 2, the first time you start the game it will check your Steam account if you own the previous games. After the first check and it sees that you have them, then you will restart the game and download the content. But I guess Hitman 3 will have everything in the files

Why does IO Interactive bother with importing levels from previous games? They could get away without that, like every other game studio.

Remember the latest "Steam killer" based on crypto? Well, I'm looking through comments on Reddit and suddenly a wild shill appears.

Will never stop being funny to me.
Who still remembers that previous crypto game store with reselling feature? (AMD was also involved in that)

The content import on the World of Assassination Hitman games is IO making a rod for its own back. It's not helped by the fact that they make getting all content in each Hitman game a convoluted and expensive mess.

I was seriously considering grabbing Hitman 3 on Xbox, but to get the complete experience I need to spend a fuckton of money. Not gonna bother now.

IO really fucked this up. The idea is sound and good for their customers, but they somehow managed to add so many caveats, implement so many restrictions and scatter so much content behind confusing editions and DLC packs that it raises the barrier to entry to an unreasonably high level not only from a financial perspective but also a complexity perspective.

They should've just verified editions of Hitman you own centrally on their servers and let you carry content to any subsequent version of the game you owned. That would've resolved the nonsense with this game in multiple instances, such as making the transfer from Steam customers to EGS fine, but also those switching from Steam to console or moving between console platforms.

But nope. They were greedy and while Papa Epic is throwing its cash around to partially resolve the issues, IO come out of this looking like assholes.

They really should have done that since you need to be online and logged into an IOI account to play and unlock. That account should be enough to verify what games you own in different plattforms

I see "rogue", I close the tab.
I do like the original Rogue, tho ... and a handful games with rogue-like elements (Dead Cells comes to mind). But generally its something I also avoid. I prefer a handcrafted experience most of the time.



@ The IOI discussion: yeah, using the IOI account to verify any previous purchase should be enough to import levels and progress. But that would be consumer friendly and not confusing as shit so you end up spending more money to actually get the complete experience.
