- Sukeban Games Popularity Poll 2019 Results! - 24 February 2020
Before starting, we want you to know that you’ve been heard! As such Fore has been honored with the Best Boy award to make up for the fact he wasn’t present in the poll in spite of unprecedented support for everyone’s favorite cat. On March 21, 2017, we posted the results of an impromptu popularity poll that ran for a week. In that poll there were 1318 total entries among which we counted 3975 null votes and 11832 unassigned points. A bit short and messy. In December of 2019 we ran another popularity poll and this time it was allowed to run for almost a month. We received a total of 17941 entries across three different language polls. This time, between them there were merely 567 null votes and 998 unassigned points. As it turns out, properly explaining the rules in the poll itself goes a long way! But what are these “rules”? Simple! You pick your top five characters going down in order…

- Have You Played VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action? - 25 July 2019
I didn t sleep well last night, but the sight of my brand new synthetic potted plant as I woke up at least made it a bit more bearable. I ve just come back from my smoke break, and I m mixing a drink called a Crevice Spike. The recipe calls for 2 Powdered Delta, 4 Flanergide, and optional Karmotrine, an alcoholic component. I ve accidentally put 14 lots of Karmotrine into the drink. My client is a 24-year-old sentient humanoid robot sex worker with the body of a 13-year-old. She s conversing with a talking Shiba Inu called Nacho Tumbleweed Jr. This is VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action , a visual novel mixed (HAHA) with a bartending minigame. Only, pretty much the whole game is bartending. (more…)
- Announcing Cyberpunk Bartender Action N1RV Ann-A! Coming in 2020 - 19 September 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F25278042%2Fee456a345ae0f28d6e1caf975a68bf316a5ff424.gif It is with great pleasure that we announce that a new game in the Cyberpunk Bartender Action series is in the works! featuring a whole new cast and new ways to play and see the story unfold. The story this time around is about Sam, a bartender living in Saint Alicia; an artificial island that, just like Glitch City, was developed as a playground for corporations that have been forming city states of their own around the globe in order to circumvent regulations. Sam is at odds with her romantic partner, Leon, who is the head of a small Yakuza family that operates at the redlight district. Their relationship is in the rocks, as they deal with the conflicts arising from their very different lives while taking care of their 8 year-old boy, Tony, who’s growing up in a incr…
- VA-11 HALL-A, the cyberpunk bartender action game, is getting a sequel - 18 September 2018
The cyberpunk bartender action game VA-11 HALL-A is getting a sequel, and its title is just as weird (and annoying to type) as the original. N1RV ANN-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action will feature the new adventures of a new bartender named Sam, who works at the "most iconic and luxurious bar" in the idyllic upscale paradise of Saint Alicia.  Not all is as it appears, however, and Saint Alicia's glittering facade hides a seedy criminal underbelly, replete with extortion, trafficking, and worse. Sam's partner Leon is hip-deep in it as a member of the Yakuza, which puts a tremendous strain on their relationship. Through it all, you must serve drinks to people who will stop at almost nothing to maintain their lifestyles, not just for yourself but also your eight-year-old son, Tony.  It sounds like N1RV ANN-A will play a lot like VA-11 HALL-A, as lives and stories will chang…

Meet some of the weirdos we’ll be serving in the announcement trailer below. (more…)
- What game did you finish despite hating every minute of it? - 11 August 2018
Videogames really end whenever you stop playing them. If you love them, maybe that's after New Game + or a replay with every character option. If you hate them, maybe that's after half an hour of frustration and a checkpoint that's on the wrong side of an unskippable cutscene. That's how it should be anyway, but sometimes we just have to see the credits of a game we're not enjoying, whether out of sheer bloody-mindedness, or because we're reviewing it and feel obliged to, or we just have to know how bad it can really get. Hate's a strong word to use, especially for a videogame. And yet, sometimes they really do shit us to tears. This week's PCG Q&A asks the question: What game did you finish despite hating every minute of it? Samuel Roberts: Final Fantasy XIII-2 I finally beat this Square Enix RPG last weekend, after reaching the game's final…
