Yakuza. I just needed something to play on PS4 and over the years heard so much good stuff. I finally dove in because it was a prequel. Boy, I wish I played this series earlier. I have Kiwami pre-ordered and pre-ordered that CE of Yakuza 6.

That's somewhat surprising, given your affinity towards Sega, the fact it's been running for 12 years, and during that timeframe it's arguably the best franchise in their portfolio. 

I didn't have a PS2 when it launched and got one in 2011. My PS3 in 2012. I almost picked up 4 back then but it seemed it was so deep in the series I would be lost and the PS2 games were expensive so I figured I missed the boat. 0 being a prequel was a revilation.
