I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Is someone playing the Steam version having trouble with the arcade classics? I can play Virtua Fighter, but others like Out Run just give me a black screen. ;_;

its insane how fun some of the jobs are, and despite how effective the starting roles are they really don't hold a candle to the sheer advantage even the early unlocks bring.
my advice for roles
Iciban keep as Hero until you hit 15 and drop for Chef, some people downplay this because the weapons are "rare" and "don't hit hard" this is only true if you ignore the crafting/upgrade shop where the chef gear is some of the cheapest and easiest to upgrade to a point, solid hits with good bladed damage and a mix of fire technique, considering the other bladed role available early on is bodyguard which self damages, this is the way to go.
Nanba, alot of people are afraid to switch due to loosing Nanbas' healing, don't be because the healing is part of Nanba's level skills he keeps the healing regardless of job, switch to musician, guitars are plentiful and the one you can trade in for cans early on can also be upgraded cheaply, homeless simply hits weak and takes far too long to become effective, coupled with how goofy this job is and its an easy switch to make.
Adatchi, ENFORCER this job is simply insane, once you get the stun stick move say bye bye to bosses because this thing wrecks.
Seako switch to hostess its superior to her starting role in pretty much every way as it gives a mix of blunt, debuffs's and cold damage over just blunt.
everyone else just experiment, I switch Nanba early on for the second female character as a dealer and found the extra damage dealer provides to be far more effective than having nanba's heals available, largely because dead enemies can't cause damage.

I was a bit apprehensive going into this solely due to the combat overhaul but at this point I'd say this is some of the most fun I've had all year with a game. The hilarious variety of jobs, enemies, skills and animations makes the turn based combat incredibly entertaining.
I've had no issues. Playing on steam with an Xbox controller.
Yeesh, I was able to play the three I found. Hopefully a reboot will sort that out. :/

Hoep so! I did that thing on steam of verifying the files and evertything seemed ok. Will try again today.
Btw, I think you are farther than me in the game (I can't change jobs yet) so, how is the difficulty later on? I'm starting chapter 5 and so far it's easy.

Its been pretty smooth sailing so far. I've been sitting on my free pound mates forever waiting for the need to use them. I'm clearing all the sub stories as I go and doing some part time hero quests too so I might be a bit above the expected level. I'm still in chapter 5 too - its massive.

Yes, this game is legit awesome. A jrpg with a legit serious story line and loveable cast. MUCH better than final fanmtasy xv lol.

I’m prepared for you guys to make fun of me. However, I do ask that you pardon my ignorance, but, what do they mean when they say, “Turn Based Fighting”?
I have Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 6 and Judgement. And my coworker is telling me Like a Dragon is different because it’s “turn based”
I have no idea what that means. If it’s a role-playing game thing, that might explain why I don’t know
I don’t really play role playing games (unless Yakuza 0 and 6 are considered RPGs. I thought they were ACTION games)
anyway, what’s different about the fighting in this new Yakuza game?

You don't actually control your character when fighting. You choose what he does via a menu system. You can still explore normally when outside combat though.
Anyone know if the game is too easy? Can't stand turn-based easy mode shit.

Hmmmm
So what does that mean? I click a prompt and then it goes off and does what it’s programmed to do?
I can’t just walk up to a group of guys and beat the shit out of them however I want? I liked doing that in the previous games

Having fun but it def looks worse than Judgment and Kiwami 2. I guess they had to cut down some graphical effects for all the rpg stuff? Lots of low res textures, meh lighting and some facial models look worse than even 0. I'm on PC, maxed. Anyway, doesnt bother me that much, just weird.

AFAIK, that's the only weapon for that class. What you can do now is upgrade it.
Kasuga's starting job is his ultimate one, but mixing in some Break-dancer can come in handly. Of course, don't forget to make him a Demolisher at least once.
Nanba has the most powerful multi-enemy debuff as a Homeless. he's also a powerhouse as a Fortune teller and a Host.
Adachi has some good stuff from both Detective and Enforcer, and Bodyguard too can be cool.
Saeko has some good skills as a chimama, but Idol is her call.
Eri as a dealer is probably the third best physical hitter in the whole game.
There are more characters, but I dpn't want to get too much into spoiler territory.
That being said, you're going to want to experiment and rank up at least 3+ jobs for each character for passives and stats bonuses.
Have fun!

Nice! Is it for Amazon US? Where can I find the coupon?

Disgusting, you uncultured swine!
/s
Unless you're completely opposed to reading subtitles I'd recommend you try them both out and then decide. I didn't expect the Japanese track to add that much to the experience but I am much more immersed with it on. The English voice acting wasn't awful - but I didn't feel like the weird, over the top Japanese humor translated well into English. I think it's worth hearing the difference.

Yeah I’m sure I’ll flip back and forth. I played Judgment with the English voices (first time playing a RGG Studios game in non Japanese) and thought it was really quite good. Heard good things about the English acting in this too!

I think I need to buy Yakuza 7 for Steam.Some Yakuza: Like a Steam Dragon screenshots, the game works fine with Dual Shock 4 (no weird inputs, no need to use Steam controller set up or emulate Xbox pad). I missed there's an OT and everything. Oh well. It sucks these don't seem to work at native res and have no options. Still great!!!

I havent played much but with all Yakuza games they grow on me mid-late game. Even 0 I really hated the first hours. Hopefully the protagonist gets better as well because so far he's the exact trope I disliked in some of the yakuza cast, the loyal idiot.

Just got to the management minigame and already lost a few hours in it. Very addictive.

You can still approach the enemy and beat them, but the battle system is completely different. I think you need to see it to understand:
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
It's turn based, it's a JRPG, what more do you need explained? It's in every trailer. Think urban Dragon Quest XI. Other than that it's identical to past games in exploration/story/progression and how encounters work (you never could beat up just anyone, only enemies that started a battle confined to their space when approached).

The Dragon quest example is the best one because the protagonist thinks he lives in a Dragon Quest world while the other around him might not think the same so that's why the dragon quest based battle system.

So, the pachislot free dlc seems not so great? I get really bad lag trying to stop the spinning reels. Also, the controls are just weird.

How did you get the dlc to download? Its always a pain for me to get free dlc because clicking on it launches the game instead of just adding it.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Even if it starts the game (any game) it should still be added to your account and downloaded in the background (but still let you play the game while it does that, with the game appearing "ready to play" indicating you can play but it's doing something too). Otherwise right click, properties, go to the DLC tab and enable everything.

I have the game on Steam, so it was just a matter of clicking the DLC on the store page, then the download button.

Is the VF5 online?Some Yakuza: Like a Steam Dragon screenshots, the game works fine with Dual Shock 4 (no weird inputs, no need to use Steam controller set up or emulate Xbox pad).

No, it's just the standard arcade mode when you go in the arcades and you can select 2p vs from the main game's title screen. So far at least, maybe you unlock stuff later? This is after getting in the very first arcade in game. No options whatsoever other than input remapping, when you sit down it just does the attract stuff, press any button and it takes you to character select for arcade mode. Vs just goes to character select. VF2 has different difficulty cabinets to choose from in the arcades and VF5 FS just has one set at default I guess. And like said they don't seem to run at native res.

Well that’s just it: I never played Dragon Quesr. I don’t even know if I’ve ever played a genuine RPG!
Are any of these RPGs?
Bioshock, Last of Us, Control, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Hellblade, Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7, Shadow of the Colossus, Uncharted 4, The Division 2..etc?
I’ll watch the video from the poster above ya

You can't be that dense, unless you're at most 6 years old. Whether you've played such games or not surely you know they exist and have a rough idea of what they're like, have seen videos of them, of Persona, of older Final Fantasy games before they went all action too, possibly even avoided them because you know they aren't like the games you do want to play or whatever, come on. Also the defining factor for what you're asking was "turn based" since plenty RPGs have real time action combat regardless. But no, none of those are, though they may have some elements of such.

Gotta be honest with ya: No, i’ve never seen Final Fantasy or Persona. I’m 100% serious. They don’t appeal to me.
I don’t know why

I spent all night playing the management mode. Almost done with it but holy crap the amount of money you get from it is insane.

How is that they don't appeal to you when you have never seen one?
As a fellow gamer I would advise you to try new genres, you might be surprised at how much fun you can get out of this games.

Judgment had Motor Raid which was fucking awesome (And it even had FV). It seems Like a Dragon has nothing new in arcades. Very happy with Super Hang On though, which was in 6 also but not in Judgment.
