Peacock will stream the majority of Premier League matches. This doesn’t include the main matches every week, which will be on either NBC or USA. ESPN+ has La Liga and Bundesliga.

Haruka's minigames having the slightest difficulty would've been great.
Shinada is a great character. It's one of the most enjoyable baseball implementations in the series.

Enough to be frustrating. If you are dumb enough to finish all the side content, like I am, it's not until the very end that it becomes almost unbearable

Started 5. Completed part 1 with Kiryu at 10 hours. SO MANY RANDOM ENCOUNTERS. The first city area is so small and boring. The side missions are mostly rehashes of old ones with old characters. Like why bother making some of these when they're less challenging fights than the 4 random encounters it took to get to the side mission marker. I did do all the taxi missions despite them being pretty repetitive and boring. I thought there would be a good reward (wrong). The races in particular, ughh. They've got nothing on Big Rigs.
This game is bloated ah. Back to back 15 minute cutscenes that say nothing and say nothing slowly. And when that happens the production value changeups between the cutscenes are really jarring. From nice looking, fully voiced in-game cinematics, to badly compressed prerendered scenes to text-only dialogue talking head parts, it's all so tiring. I will attempt to speedrun thru the rest of the game. Kinda looking forward to the Haruka part if only for it being something different and hopefully a breath of fresh air.
Bad news, Saejima's hunting minigame is even worse

We don't have the infrastructure, culture or tactical knowledge to be good at it. We can't simply throw more money at it for a quick fix.
The problem starts from the lack of good coaching in the US. If American kids show talent and want to take soccer seriously, their parents need to get them into a club team that offers real coaching. These cost thousands of dollars, and how many parents are able to pay for that? In Europe, clubs will send scouts to local village matches to find the most talented kids. The best talents are identified and brought into club academies to receive professional training. This doesn't cost the parents much (if anything), and it's a relatively trivial investment for the clubs as well, with the potential of one of these kids being worth a ton of money in the future. (There are issues with the youth system to be sure, particularly for the kids who are good enough to stay until they turn 18, but not good enough to make a living professionally). Fortunately, American academies are more common now. It's common for a few teenagers to get sold from MLS teams to European clubs every year. They're getting better coaching and playing against elite opposition every week. There's a long way to go but the talent level is improving.
Another issue is that the USSF is full of nepotism. When we hired Jurgen Klinsmann in 2011, he was quick to point out how the systemic problems of US soccer. Much of his tenure was spent implementing European-style coaching and stressing that our best players need to leave MLS if we ever want to improve. He brought in many players who were raised/trained in Germany and dropped popular Americans from the 2014 World Cup squad. When he was fired in 2016, we brought in Bruce Arena who had done a lot previously but was a terrible choice for the modern team. We missed qualifying for the 2018 World Cup as a result. Then we signed Gregg Berhalter who was an awful coach and fired him in 2022... then we re-signed him in 2023 so he could fetch us over again and crash us out of the group stage of the Copa America, despite having a ridiculously easy group.
Finally, Americans can't stand being anything other than #1. Do you think the average American is going to celebrate if we make the quarterfinals at a World Cup? We're happy to tell ourselves "we'd be the best in the world if we took it seriously" and leave it at that. Realistically, there's no reason the US can't consistently be a top 10 team on the world stage, but I don't know that it'll ever happen.

Should be good matches, I'm looking forward to Germany-Spain and Uruguay-Brazil

You get some pretty big FPS drops in a couple of the cities but overall it runs fine. Most of the major optimization mods work with it

Tamriel Rebuilt progresses at a glacial pace. It's entirely free and what's released varies from good to excellent. I don't know that it'll ever be done but they have been progressing more in recent years and seem to have a good team together.
Star Citizen will end up hitting a billion dollars of crowdfunding at some point, but is little more than a ship storefront. If you think of it as a live service game it makes more sense. The endless cycle of "updates" will continue forever because the main purpose is to convince enough idiots that they should be buying $500 ships.

You should fix that
