@Kienda 0 has a perfect story in my opinion with really fun action combat. LaD has a perfect protaganist with really fun JRPG elements. So whichever one suits your fancy.
Activision Blizzard can shove off. Started avoiding them after their anti-democracy stance. Since then they've done the exact opposite of redeeming themselves, so as fond as my memories are of the original release, I can't in good concience give them any more money.
I started playing Yakuza 7 with dubs and ended up playing in Japanese anyway. At this point I'm all in, OG voice acting is great. It's great that they have the option, but I can't go back to dubs now.
@GamingFan4Lyf each of the 2 movie games are over two hours. I don't remember how long the actual movie was but it took some time. The 3 hour game is spot on, one took me 30, but the others took me 40 hours + to finish, I think it really depends on whether you want to look around or just rush through. Either way, I can't imagine playing them all in a row and in a rush would be fun.
@Scenes I actually enjoyed the standard ending of the game more without the DLC, I thought it was more thought provoking, while the dlc felt convoluted. I know I'm not alone, but I also know there are many people who feel the exact opposite.
That said, I'd still say it's worth playing to decide for yourself if you're willing to pay the cost. It was fun to play through, I just didn't like what it added to the story.
@BionicDodo I've played every Final Fantasy and X may be my favourite, that said I've taken 70 to beat it, and I've taken about 35 to beat it, totally depends on you.
@UltimateOtaku91 to be fair, anime (アニメ) is literally short for animation. It's an english word they borrowed and shortened, so at this point people are just arguing semantics.
I really just want more classic games. Don't get me wrong, I love my time with the Genesis collection, but I wouldn't complain about more. Also, whatever Yakuza they have I want it.
@NEStalgia I largely agree, though the first game wasn't released until 2005 in Japan. That said, I have no idea how much perspective towarda yakuza may have changed in that time, so the time difference may be irrelevant

Weekly obligatory Ubisoft sale joke:

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox Yakuza Game?
Like a Dragon is absolute perfection with my favourite protagonist of all time. That said, 0 is my favourite game. What a fantastic series.
Re: Xbox Reveals Four More 'Day One' Games Coming To Game Pass
I'm weirdly obsessed with Pigeons and this is the best day of my life. I'm married and have 3 children.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Early Access Surpasses One Million Players
@FriendlyOctopus It's a shame that metacritic is generally useless for user reviews on any platform. The amount of hate ratings is just asinine.
Re: The First Two Of November 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
Nice! I was sad to see Moving out leave gamepass, so I'm glad to have it back
Re: Petition To 'Improve Xbox Globalisation' Receives Over 1500 Signatures
@BlueOcean Thanks. This is way more complicated than I had time to explain.
Re: Petition To 'Improve Xbox Globalisation' Receives Over 1500 Signatures
This would be cool, but just to be that guy: trying to globalize is a very expensive task with high risk of low or negative returns
Re: Mini Review: Rainbow Billy: The Curse Of The Leviathan - A Wholesome Wind Waker Style Adventure
I've made it through the 1st big area and I'm really enjoying myself so far. A nice way to wind down the end of the day to be sure.
Re: Mini-Review: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - Not So Smashing
Seems like licensed voice acting and music would be a necessity for this game to succeed.

Re: These Six Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (September 15)
Hotshot racing was a real treat. Reminded my of the old days at the arcade without the often frustrating gameplay of the old games at the arcade.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Fans Are Convinced Something Is Happening For The Series' 25th Anniversary
It means I still haven't forgotten the companies jarring issues and don't feel comfortable supporting them as they are without catastrophic change.
Re: Don't Forget, The Diablo 2: Resurrected Open Beta Begins Today
Activision Blizzard can shove off. Started avoiding them after their anti-democracy stance. Since then they've done the exact opposite of redeeming themselves, so as fond as my memories are of the original release, I can't in good concience give them any more money.
Re: The First Two Of August 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
@Xenomorph_79 Respectfully disagree. I feel like that's akin to saying Halo Wars ruined the series. They're each their own thing.
Re: The First Two Of August 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
@Xenomorph_79 I really enjoyed my time 3 and Genesis is the first game I ever 100% on XBox.
They were far from expectations to be sure, but also far from bad. As with anything, to each their own. Just wanted to give a different perspective.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Has Something To Reveal About Cloud Gaming This Week
@The_New_Butler This seems the most likely, though I assume there may also be a push for all S/X exclusives to have cloud options on the XBO
Re: Lost Judgment Dev Explains Why The English Dub's Lip Syncing Isn't As 'Silky' As Yakuza
I started playing Yakuza 7 with dubs and ended up playing in Japanese anyway. At this point I'm all in, OG voice acting is great. It's great that they have the option, but I can't go back to dubs now.
Re: Uh-Oh, Lost Judgment Could Reportedly Be The Last Entry In The Series
@CrazyJF People are gross and that's a shame

Re: The Official Space Jam: A New Legacy Game Is A 2D Brawler, Heading To Xbox Game Pass This July
@VenomousAlbino i laughed at your take. Thanks.
Re: The Official Space Jam: A New Legacy Game Is A 2D Brawler, Heading To Xbox Game Pass This July

Re: As Of Today, Microsoft Has Turned The Surface Duo Into An Xbox DS
@uptownsoul I know they have, sarcasm doesn't convey well in text I suppose. I just disagree with your point
Re: As Of Today, Microsoft Has Turned The Surface Duo Into An Xbox DS
@InterceptorAlpha I use an s20 for gamepass and it works amazing
Re: As Of Today, Microsoft Has Turned The Surface Duo Into An Xbox DS
@uptownsoul ah yes, once you have a smartphone, that's the one you have for life. Maybe someday they'll do upgrades or something
Re: As Of Today, Microsoft Has Turned The Surface Duo Into An Xbox DS
@uptownsoul you forget the cost of smartphones that most people are carrying around? You know how much an iPhone costs? An S20?
Re: Resident Evil Village Was Originally Going To Have A LOT More Enemies
Feels like the right call. I've really enjoyed playing through as it is

Re: JRPG Edge Of Eternity Launches On Xbox Game Pass Later This Year
@UltimateOtaku91 to be fair, anime (アニメ) is literally short for animation. It's an english word they borrowed and shortened, so at this point people are just arguing semantics.
