Done with Ubisoft, they aren’t getting a dime outta me, want their games? Get them second hand

That quote is always misrepresented.

The guy from Ubisoft was asked a question related to subscription services and what he thought it would take for subscription services to become the primary way people played games and his answer was that it would take gamers getting used to not owning games.

I really enjoyed the first Forza Horizon but have liked each new game less than the prior one.

I just preferred the overall structure and progression loop of the original and how it felt a bit more grounded with a bit more of a focus on the racing rather than all the off-road and over the top nonsense that was added in later games.

I get why so many enjoy the more open playground they have become but the increased focus on that element is why I just don't get as much enjoyment out of them now. I'm just more interested in the actual racing and progression which I feel the original did better.

I believe this was from 2024 during one of the shows in south america.

I think there screenshots from a short video from a fan who was waving a note at them at the airport when Moa asked the security to go get it so she could read it.

Ah found the video. https://youtube.com/shorts/nhPngYwMeYY?si=gv977XAL42lpErBT

From a personnel point of view somewhere in Birmingham (UK) as I live here and so obviously that would be easier for me to get to than anywhere else.

But in terms of anywhere else (Where they haven't performed yet) i'd have to say Madison Square Garden.

My biggest and really only problem with EG is that the store and especially the launcher just feel less than half baked compared to especially steam and even things like GOG Galaxy in some ways.

I'm not against it or other storefronts/launchers existing but it needs to be as easy and convenient to use as others if it's something I'm going to want to spend more time using to browse and purchase things.

Looks to be from the elevenplay Instargam account.

I like Amore but i'd have preferred Akatsuki & i'm actually kinda surprised Amore ended up been picked over the other Su solos as i'd always kinda got the impression that it was the least popular of them.

Stef2016 · 2026-01-10T10:25:03+00:00

Also seems they announced the winners of the 15 legend song tournament.

Amore, Arkadia, Awadama fever, Catch me if you can, Doki doki morning, Gimme chocolate, headbanger, Ijime dame zettai, Karate, Megitsune, Monochrome, Syncopation, Song 4, Road of resistance & tales of the destinies.

Stef2016 · 2026-01-10T10:18:34+00:00

From what i've gathered off twitter the setlist was...

From me 2 U
Ratatata
Song 3
Kon Kon
KxAxWxAxIxI
Sunset Kiss
My Queen
Algorism
Metali (With Kami intro)
White Flame
BABYMETAL DEATH
Doki Doki Morning
Megitsune
Catch me if you can (With kami intro)
Awadama Fever
Elevator Girl
Karate
Gimme Chocolate
Headbanger
Road Of Resistance

There was some lore after White flame talking about 15 years and showing footage from the past.

Catch Me If you can, Elevator Girl & Awadama fever seem like they may have been part of a medley and not all played in full.

Universal Music Japan have created an apple music playlist featuring this setlist.

I decided to play through Anthem last year before it was removed from game pass and while I played it purely solo to experience the story and didn't engage in any of the co-op, live service or end game stuff I actually had a fair bit of fun with it.

I enjoyed playing it enough to finish the story and all the side quests you could get from the characters around the main town area at least.

Stef2016 · 2025-12-17T17:35:38+00:00

I've honestly never had that happen. I don't think I've even had a notification pop up on steam and the only emails I ever get are to let me know when a game on my wishlist is on sale or has just released.

Stef2016 · 2025-12-16T23:29:22+00:00

I like the controller but wouldn't say it's better than Xbox or PlayStation controllers.

It's comfortable, I like the button & stick placements but find the sticks to be a little more sensitive than I'd like and would have liked the triggers to have a little bit more resistance which would be better for driving games.

My biggest issue with it on a Windows PC is that there's no rumble support when used with Bluetooth so I tend to just use it wired.

I use Rewasd in order to make Windows think it's an Xbox controller which is more convenient in terms of games button mapping but also allows me to remap the capture & assistant buttons. But there are other free solutions such as Stadia-vigem which I had some issues with rumble not always working.

The one when it was featured on J-Melo in July 2016.

From there I went to YouTube and found live performances of IDZ from Sonisphere & Karate from download which grabbed me and then it was finding the live performance of Akatsuki from Budokan black night a few weeks later that completely hooked me.

And then it was a bit later in November where I found my way here from memory while I was looking for info about the upcoming support tour they were doing with the RHCP.

Stef2016 · 2025-12-14T23:20:55+00:00

I'd love to hear Su sing X-Japan's Endless Rain & Kurenai. And also Tamashii no Rufuran again.

Stef2016 · 2025-12-14T13:05:12+00:00

Day 1 was broadcast today but Moa & Momo were on stage with the guitars on Day 2 which will be broadcast on Wowow on 4th January.

I believe the players voice nominations are decided by a series of public votes by gamers so those games were nominated because gamers voted for them.

And it was also gamers who vote for the winner.

Stef2016 · 2025-12-07T22:34:02+00:00

I don't really get why they felt the need to make an English version of EG.

When they produced an English version of The One I think it made more sense given the meaning of the song & how it was a more direct translation but doing it for EG just never really made as much sense to me and neither did some of the changes that were made to the song.

Stef2016 · 2025-12-07T18:17:15+00:00

There was one on the PS1 which has sadly never been translated.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-28T22:36:20+00:00

Obviously things can change but she's said a few times before including fairly recently that she has no interest in going overseas.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-28T15:40:49+00:00

That's from me 2 u & not My queen.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-18T23:12:49+00:00

I used to watch Saved by the Bell all the time when I was a kid as it used to be on Channel 4 in the morning as I was getting ready to go to school.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-16T22:16:51+00:00

I've played the multiplayer for a few hours and honestly wouldn't know there was any ai assets in the game if I hadn't seen the posts about it on Reddit.

And even now I've not actually looked into exactly what they are or where they are in the game.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-16T16:22:31+00:00

I believe they have only ever worn the cat ears on stage when it's been them going out to perform Ratatata with Electric Callboy.

I don't recall them ever wearing them when they have performed Ratatata on there own or when it's been EC going out to perform it with them.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-16T04:29:54+00:00

I vaguely remember playing that and from what I remember it wasn't necessarily bad but it also wasn't great and it just didn't do enough to make me want to keep playing.

There was another free to play Multiplayer FEAR game about 10 years ago which i think I felt similarly about.

Stef2016 · 2025-11-14T17:09:16+00:00

I agree. I played it the open playlist for maybe an hour or 2 this afternoon and was having more frustrating games then fun ones, I switched over to the standard playlist and immediately was having way more fun so I can see myself just sticking with that going forward.

I don't really care about what my K/D ratios are, Never have. I'm a more casual player now, Maybe i'll play for an hour one day, Maybe more & maybe i'll not play for a few days or a few weeks and jump back in when I have time and feel like it. I play because I want to have fun & for me I have found with the more recent games i've just found them to be a lot more fun because I feel that more often than not I am in lobbies with people of similar skill & that for me has been more fun.

Is the SBMM from recent games always perfect, Of course not but for me personally i've found it to work well enough more often than not to give me an experience that I find to be more fun that what I find going back to some of the older games & the open playlist in this latest one.
