Fallout 3: boring writing, great environments Fallout NV: great writing, boring environments Still pretty crazy to me that F3 came out only 2.5 years after Oblivion and then Skyrim was 3 years after F3 and now Bethesda Game Studios is taking over 7 years between mainline releases (hopefully those short timelines weren’t entirely due to crunch)

No particular reason outside of that. 4 is the worst in the series, 0, k1, and k2 are all great. 3 is weird but has charm. Basically definitely start with 0, 4 is the worst by far.

I started with 0 but was just not feelin it and the karaoke minigame just was not my jam. Definitely an “it’s not you, it’s me” thing, lately I need some pretty immediate thrills in my games or I get bored.

I read up on the debate on whether to start with 0 or 1 before I started playing Yakuza and I'm very happy I started with 0. I don't think I would have enjoyed the story as much if I had played 1 first. And yeah I suck at the karaoke type games badly but you don't have to play them much and I think you can fail all of them without any big problems.

Play Yakuza (0), got it, if only because you guys recommend it a lot and I keep picturing Sleeping Dogs but I know that's not right.

There's some limited environment KOs like sleeping dogs and the plot is a convoluted crime story (and good). But your main character has a little more charisma, even if all he does with it is make an angry frowny face and best people

Yakuza 0 has the benefit of the many years experience for the team. By that point they'd made 1-5 so they figured out what kind of game they're (actually) making, streamlining a lot of the systems, like stories with multiple playable characters, and enough response from fans to know who the crowd favorites would be. Add the goofy over the top 80s bubble era setting and it's no surprise why it revitalized interest in the series in the West. If you only play one game 0 is it, with highs at 2, 6, 7. I like the series like many people but most of the games are a tough sell without being invested in the characters, except 7 (like a dragon) which is a new cast.

Nuts and Gum posted:Eh just play sleeping dogs Nah... I played it for the first time a couple years back. It doesn't hold up. It's boring GTA driving and shooting gameplay with a mish-mash Asian setting and a lot of increasingly stupid scenarios with more yelling and hysterics. The first few hours are great but once it settles in it gets tedious.

The actual open world isn't a massive draw, it's more just the setting for all this stuff to happen in and to be honest the Yakuza open world isn't huge, it's a very dense couple of city blocks that works a lot better for the game than being able to drive around

My problem is I play this kind of game for the combat and on that basis there just isn't much of a reason to look at those games twice when Arkham Knight and Shadow of War exist. If you want a fun action combat game, it's Shadow of War. If you like the Predator sections and Riddler puzzles then play Batman.
