    I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain + more!) Discussion Thread

    This is almost certainly not happening, since it isn't up to SEGA. The talent agency who Takuya Kimura works for, Johnny's & Associates (massive assholes all around to begin with, late Johnny himself most of all), is virulently hostile to the idea of a Steam release for some reason (this is also...

    That's basically the key thing to understand: Orphans (whether actually orphaned or just abandoned by their parents) are treated AWFULLY in Japan. Kiryu had it better than most IRL orphans do in Japan because of Kazama's involvement with Sunflower, and that's a reason why he cares so much about...

    6 is somewhere between Kiwami and Kiwami 2 in length I'd say.

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain + more!) Discussion Thread

    One of the central ideas behind the series is to have protagonists who are like the romantic depiction of yakuza (and how the yakuza depict themselves, hence pseudonym chivalrious organization; there's a great article by Jake Adelstein who is a veteran crime reporter specialized in the yakuza...

    Shinada's the best character in Y5, and has the best part of Y5 too. Especially Shinada! Poor guy deserves a break.

    Doubtful. The Japanese talent agencies are retarded, but they're also vicious and ruthless bastards. Johnny & Associates among the most vicious and ruthless, probably even after Johnny Kitagawa finally went to hell.

    Hearts of Iron IV - The Ultimate WWII Strategy Game

    I have a creeping suspicion they've been playing TNO for that graphomania. I personally don't mind in principle, in TNO it's essential due to the nature of the mod as a strategy/visual novel hybrid... But in base HoI4 where things are balanced around 70 day focus cycles it's a little odd as a...

    You aren't going to believe your lucky stars when you get to Yakuza 6 if that's the location mood you're after.

    Yakuza 4, 5, and 0 have multiple playable characters (4, 5, and 2 respectively), and Like A Dragon has a party of adventurers on a quest to find an employment agency.

    MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries by Piranha Games - now on Steam and GOG

    The bump sound effect was also more comedic than anything, so it went well with the pitiful damage.

    Slot cars are only a minigame in just 0 and Kiwami, I regret to inform you. They have a pretty brisk rotation of minigames, even some regulars like karaoke don't appear in every game (Judgment lacks karaoke). Hunting is only in Yakuza 5, and speargun fishing is only in Yakuza 6 for example...
