Like 30 people got banned in that thread in the last 24 hours so I'd avoid it too.

Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

I think this should be recalled at the start of the respective SGF and TGA threads.
No hate to people who choose to tune in, but it is not difficult for me to find a better use of my time actually playing games on a console I own than wade through WORLD PREMIERES for the 18th "footage not representative of game" GaaS title on a console I don't
- Pronouns
- He/Him
But wait there's more!
Also agree with what @Brofield said. I already said that back in the Tga thread but I feel like this event is just not good for my mental health, instead of being excited, I just get more and more cynical about AAA gaming and the general state of the industry

Uh, do I want to know what was going on there to have the mods ban 30 people in 24 hours?

Geoff will only go away if devs stop coming to his awards event at the end of the year. And announce games at it. And accept awards from it.
- Pronouns

I don't understand this, twitter stuff still shows up for me when I'm logged out or in incognito, does it seriously just not show up for others?
It was like three or four people and it was for stuff like abuse of the pronoun field and sexualized jokes.
- Pronouns
- They/Them
While that's the ideal, best I'm hoping for is changes for this year after the backlash. I didn't watch last year's but it sounded like a shitshow, I can't imagine devs will be all that happy to attend if things don't change.
- Pronouns
- he/him
Of course they'll still attend. Like I said, they get tons of eyeballs on their games, they get awards for the work they've already done, etc. Geoff isn't the disease, he's a symptom.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Do I need to play the other 49 UFO? Also, after that much entries they still haven't been able to identify these Flying Objects?
- Pronouns

You can skip the filler entries and just play the important ones. And I’m not answering that second question, because it’d be a spoiler.

One of the super nice things about there being no remakes of Pokemon games announced today means I can play literally any region and not go "well, maybe I should wait for the remakes". Even Kalos, which was announced and I'm playing now, it'll be a completely different experience.
Maybe it's time for another run through the regions like I did in 2019, hmm...

I am honored to help bring Team BOOKS to victory and serve as the Empathy Blast MVP!
Much like the storytelling in this thread, victory here has been a group effort. I'd like to thank my fellow Champions of BOOKS. We played our GAMBITs just right, STRUCK while the iron was hot, and MANIFESTED our top spot. So proud of y'all! I'd also like to thank @Suswave for putting on one hell of a game with a story I was hooked on, characters I bonded with, and themes that hit close to home. And lastly, I can't forget to thank 2uswave. You may be gone (and fictional), but you absolutely won't be forgotten.
May EMPATHY carry you all forward, and may you always continue to care.

We won by MY ASS! Victory, by any means necessary! We did it @Barely Able! And high five to all members of House Two!
I must also congratulate @VolcanicDynamo for often being the sole voice of empathy throughout the entire game. You very well deserve to be champion of BOOKS!
I'm excited to wear that badge and shimmy up to folks and be like, yeah, I've destroyed angels before.
Thank you again @Suswave for the chaotically fun game! This is gonna be one for the ages.

Thank you so much everyone! It’s been a blast!
If you enjoyed my chaotic approach, writing, or weirdness… please keep in touch! Someday I’ll be far enough with my game, Grögol Bonanza, to subject y’all to a demo…
until then, it’s just videos, soundtrack releases, and shitposts!

Nah, talk to the other faction. Go fish, bud!Go fish.

Yeah sort of. Judgment is kind of its own thing, with little crossover in characters and stories (virtually just cameos), but the gameplay and worlds you explore are the same and are kind of taking over for the action games now that mainline Like A Dragon has become an RPG.
The best starting points today are either Yakuza 0 (which I’d recommend most) since the most easily available version of Yakuza 1 (Yakuza Kiwami) includes scenes that make it more of a sequel, Yakuza: Like A Dragon which is the first RPG one, and Judgment.
- Pronouns

I know a lot of people weren't hot on it but I do think LA Remake's plasticky toy look is quite lovely
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Loved the aesthetic. Wish we got more unique looks for their remakes games in general. Could tell that stutter frame rate though when changing map panels. And I’m usually not too sensitive to that stuff
- Pronouns
- he/him
The order:
0
Kiwami
Kiwami 2
3
4
5
6
Like a Dragon
Gaiden (The Man Who Erased His Name)
Infinite Wealth
Kiwami (which means Extreme) means it’s a remake.
Like @xghost777 said above: Judgment and its sequel, Lost Judgment, are their own thing. You can play those whenever you’d like, irrespective of the Yakuza franchise.
Also like xghost said above: the best place to start is the very beginning, Yakuza 0, or if you’d rather just play newer games, or if you just like turn based games, Yakuza Like a Dragon.
Also, you don’t necessarily need to play them all. Every Yakuza fan has differing opinions on which games are ultimately necessary so other fans might disagree with me. I’ll just say: maybe skip 3. The PS3 release of Yakuza 4 contains a 25-ish minute “here’s what happened” recap video that you can find on YouTube and will save you from the oldest un-remade and least good entry in the franchise.
EDIT: Forgot to add Gaiden to the order
