Why does every OT that I make on GAF curse me with my game delivery?

yeah you can save time and do a story focused playthrough without doing much side content like the wacky kart racing minigame or the business empire building minigame

I would argue that a lot of the side content of Yakuza Like a Dragon games are just as good if not better than main story stuff. Stuff like protecting not Michael Jackson from not zombies while filming not Thriller was brilliant and the Cabaret Club management has always been one of my favorite things to do (when included).

I wouldn't disagree, I loved turning a senbei shop into a commercial empire, I'm the type that did everything and platinumed Like a Dragon because I loved it so much. But if someone wants to play Infinite Wealth right now and I'm stopping them from doing it because I'm arguing Ichiban's introductory adventure is too amazing to settle for a recap and they really ought to experience that first, I want to be reasonable about it. Perhaps they'll have so much fun playing it they'll slow things down and do all the side content anyways

I have Yakuza Zero in my Steam Library. Is it worth it? I'm currently installing it.

Extremely worth it. If you're new to the series and really wanna go across all titles that's the best entry point in my opinion.

Hell yeah! That was among the best "mini games" I've ever played. Just great fun throughout with awesome side content and I got a Waifu out of it.

5 hours into this, incredibly gripping so far. Ichiban is a rare character in videogames, I actually feel sorry for him at times, very well written and realised. My only gripe so far is the dungeon, I spent hours doing those in the first one and these feel too similar. Same tileset, even the same music. I get they are going for continuinty and its in the same area of town, but a bit of a pallet swap wouldnt hurt. Anyway, still amazing and cant wait to continue.

So the game runs at 60 FPS/1440p on PS5 and they don't give you any other options which is a bummer. Its a turn based game so I wouldn't mind 30FPS if it ran at 4K.

My complaints about this might seem odd.

I am used to cool and amazing limited editions and what not. From what I can tell this seems to be pretty barebones unless I missed the boat somehow. No steelbook, nothing.

First we have the non-physical release of Gaiden, and now this.

Might seem petty, but why no cool editions eh? Instead things like new game + being a extra feature? That's silly.

I still picked the game up because a lot of effort seems to be placed in it, but it still feels a bit of a step back.

Now if I am wrong about the extra goodies, please correct me and send me in the right direction.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Just finished Chapter 2. Game is bonkers, but in such a good way.

Does this game check to see if you’ve played other LaD games to give you bonus items like they used to do?

That's odd, I remember reading some conflicting reports about the previous game too, that there was a 4k30 mode but without an in-game option and the only way to trigger it was setting it on a console-level. Could be nothing and I can't even find the source right now so don't take it for granted.

Ichiban has become one of my favourite characters in all of gaming. He is so endearingly nice and wacky. A real anti-hero who made me laugh out loud a couple of times already. That dating scene / story was incredibly cringey.

I agree about the environments and music in Yokohama, but I'm early Hawaii now and it felt refreshing.

Loving the game so far.

What? Platinum isn't locked for base (or physical) version owners, it's just going to take more time since you won't have the endgame dungeon with higher level enemies.

If I thought the previous Yakuza: Like a Dragon was tedious and mediocre, would this one change my mind? Sorry, but I did try for many hours to see what everyone was raving about... Also has it got HDR on PS5? Cheers.

From what I’ve played so far, no. It’s more of the same, just refined.

hey im in chapter 3 and I just can't seem to get meal combinations boosters from dining at restaurants to happen. Have I really failed to figure out a combo every time or do meal combos not work until you have a bigger party or something?

I don't think the console settings have an effect. But im pretty sure Gaiden was closer to 4K. I definitely remember the IQ being sharper than Infinite Wealth's.

Buy all the food at once to unlock all 3 combos, that way you can see what you need.
