@Ryuu96 How do you get your embed tweets to look as good as yours? 

OT: Don't like where this is going... People from other countries probably don't want to hear us whine about $60 game when they already pay higher, but 2K with their microtransactions... Not a good look. 
Edit: NVm... it just looked that way in preview. Love the embed twitter. #twitterboy

Banjo fans gonna hype themselves up for Banjo every year until it finally happens, or doesn't.

Don't worry, they'll definitely bring Banjo back...

Yeah I got too impatient this year with Kiwami after I played 0. Love Majima and Makoto. That I had to play the rest. I wasn't too big of a fan of 3-5. They feel very dated. 6 I really enjoyed but 0 and Kiwami 2 are amazing. 

The music in Kiwami 2 hostess club very addicting too. 

Judgment I felt was one of the best stories in a video game I've ever played. Absolutely loved it. Might actually like it more than Yakuza 0. 

In terms of Yakuza for me: 0 > Kiwami 2 > 6 > Kiwami 1 > 3 > 4 > 5

Yeah, the FF 14 announcement was odd last year. Hopefully they mention FF 14 again soon. But those Yakuza game announcements were amazing. Very happy MS has the marketing for Like a Dragon. Definite day one for that. Wish Xbox got that new Ys game :/ Oh well. 

Yeah, I can see how 0 would be very hard to top. Just about everything about it was fantastic, from the story to the minigames to the music. Kiwami 1 didn't even come close to 0 for me personally, the main story was pretty good and I loved Haruka (she is one of those rare video game children that can make you feel actual parental affection), but the rest felt like a downgrade compared to 0, especially since Majima wasn't playable (his combat is alot more fun than Kiryu's imo). I am expecting good things from Kiwami 2 and 6, but I'm definitely worried that 3-5 are going to feel very dated. I really wish they had decided to give 3-5 the Kiwami treatment as well, but they really wanted to move on an do 7/Like A Dragon I guess. Hopefully 7 is good, the change to turn based combat feels like it will probably be an improvement for me, as Yakuza's action combat doesn't have a ton of depth and starts to feel pretty grindy thanks to the high enemy encounter rates while exploring the open world. 

That was my biggest problem. I ended up playing the best one first and after that it was all downhill from there  

Yeah coming from 0 to Kiwami 1 they delegated

Spoiler!
Majima to Mr. Shakedown sadly 

Kiwami 2 kicked back up for me in terms of story and the minigames really help hold it down strong. As well as the extra content. 3-5 if they brought that over, I personally probably won't replay them, but 6 I would. Would love a Kiwami 3, but don't think that's happening. And yeah I agree with the combat system, I feel like it adds a needed change the formula. At first I was against it, but looking back at how grindy it can get with thugs in past games, I welcome the change.

Ouch. I have been dreading the increase of games from $60 to $70 for a long time. Technically we were due this increase awhile back, as games have been stuck at $60 for like 14 years or something, while all other forms of entertainment from movie tickets to DVD's to MP3's have all seen price increases in the same time frame thanks to inflation, but developers managed to stave off the increase with microtransactions and deluxe/gold editions and the likes, but I guess that was no longer good enough for them. So I'm not surprised if next-gen AAA's will be $70, but I will be disappointed for sure. 

I'd be much better knowing that if they increase the price they also have to stop taking out content and selling it back as DLC. Some games I'd be ok with buying for 70 (NOT GTA 5 AGAIN), but like a new Bully (RIP), and like Forza Horizon. But like Ryuu posted, this only helping Xbox gamepass. I hope they continue to put their games on game pass day one.

You know, of all the games that could be used to ease players into the thought of paying an extra 10 bucks next gen....NBA2K is NOT it lol. I mean that shit is just an entry fee for a game like that these days. The amount of BS they nickel and dime you for, as if it were a mobile tier f2p game, they got some nerve asking for more up front.

Most games I play nowadays are on Game Pass. If not I wait until they are discounted to $40 or less.

This has been pretty much my approach as of late as well. Between GamePass, and some of my own backlog, I got a lot to keep me busy, and then I'll pick up certain games on sale when they're around half off or so. Next gen, with MS probably having a stronger first party output (I should hope), I expect that I'll be waiting for even more deep sales.

There are games from certain developers like CDPR, or Larian that I'm comfortable purchasing games for 70 bucks or more from, but those are few and far between.
