It is the use of the word 'nipponese', which from what i had gathered has some negative concoctions to it.
Considering the time period (Meiji era) which is the late 19th century, it is still "correct" in the sense that it is part of the official name of Japan (Nippon-koku/State of Japan) known by the western world of that era.

As for the negative connotation, The Americans used the slur "Nips" to refer to the Japanese forces of the Pacific theatre during World War II. So yeah, perfectly valid to blame the Americans in this context once again.

Hmm, I don't believe Nipponese is being used in a negative context here at all. That would be "Nips/Japs". Nipponese is native for Japanese. You can substitute the word. I think the character in this case just prefers to use Nipponese probably because he has lived in Japan. It is a bit uncommon to hear it in a localization, though. I'd like to know why the localization team decided on using Nippon instead of Japan.

Edit: too slow again :disappointed-face:

Slowly coming together :evilblob:
And I'm kind of sure Sakura Wars would sell quite well on Steam if price is correct (30$ or so)

We at SEGA have heard your plight, Sakura Kakumei will be available on Steam next month for 59.99€ with all the needed option for PC, like being able to use your mouse instead of touch controls. and high resolutions like 720p.
If the game doesn't sell 10M before the end of the year, the franchise will be sold to a farm to live its days peacefully with horses. Right next to the glue factory.

Thank you, the SEGA team.

As my voice gives you form with which to work my will,
Your Spirit is bound within.

My Steam client is broken. I only get a white screen instead of the library, community or the shop. :(

EDIT: I have restarted the PC and Steam is working again.

Mafia 4 rumors popped up again with production start in late 2019. I mean Hangar 13 did expand a lot since Mafia 3 but they work on new IP so I am not sure that it is true.

So a while back a X-Com style game with a strong anime aesthetic got released, I forgot to wishlist it and can't remember the name, anyone know what I'm talking about? We discussed the game here, I know some of you have played it.

Finished VII Remake, will post my thoughts in the review thread soon (during the day?). All I can say right now is that I have no interest in replaying the game anytime soon and I need to gather my thoughts and feelings about it. It's not "negative" per se, I'll try and explain my thoughts.

Also just fyi, I loved the original VII, gave it a 9/10 and would still do.

I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet on an overpriced gaming laptop given that Shadow is probably going to give the finger to gamers whoever buys them. That puts VR on the table. Is the Index still the best headset? 1k is still very, very rich for my blood.

PSO2 NGS announced for June (no exact date yet), simultaneous global and JP launch. They also mentioned that while there may be regional differences, future major updates will be also simultaneous between global and JP.



Also, in late May there's going to be a benchmark and character creation tool:

Is that me? 😛

Every time a new table comes out for Zaccaria, you get a whole heap of 0.01% achievements that take ages to cycle through.

So uhhh... About that Replicant PC port.


Unfortunately, the PC port comes with plenty of problems. There are no options for VSync and framerate limit, which is important because running it above 60fps speeds Replicant’s animations up, making boss fights much harder than they should be. A regular stutter, which seems to be linked to a controller issue on Steam, is equally annoying – mine would periodically disconnect during these stutters, so I suspect it has something to do with how it’s handling controller detection with Steam rather than poor optimisation.
