After playing the Yakuza remakes, Kiwami 1 and 2, I decided to play the original Yakuza 3 to experience the story in order. However, going back to an older game that wasn’t as polished was surprisingly difficult. Yakuza 3 came out in 2009, and now the gameplay feels quite outdated and clunky. The boss fights were often frustratingly hard, and I found myself just mashing buttons, hoping to get lucky. Beyond the combat, the game felt slow and awkward. I wanted to enjoy Kiryu’s relaxing time in Okinawa, but the long, drawn-out scenes almost spoiled it, and the character models, especially the children, look noticeably dated.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which is roughly 300 feet wide, briefly caused concern in early 2025 when there was a small chance it could hit Earth. It even reached the top of NASA’s risk list, with a 3.1% probability of impact, but that risk has since decreased.

Amazon earns about $1 billion every 13 hours, so the fine won’t significantly impact its finances. However, the Federal Trade Commission is emphasizing the importance of this case as a legal precedent.

Gustav Nisser, head of commercial at Starbreeze, explained to PC Gamer that the 44% increase in price for the Infamous Collection wasn’t connected to the launch of their new Payday 2 Subscription service, which costs $5 a month and unlocks a lot of the game’s downloadable content. Despite some fans believing the price increase was a way to push people towards the Subscription, Nisser stated it was simply a coincidence.

If you follow movies online, you’ve likely come across Chris Struckmann. He’s a YouTuber who’s been reviewing films for over a decade and has built a large following with more than 2 million subscribers.
