I'm not a huge fan of Borderlands. I like the stories. But I don't like the loot goblining. Constant hunt for ever higher damage numbers.
There's only 1 company I'll pay $80 for a new game. And that is Ryu Ga Gotoku. Cuz they don't miss. No bad half finished launches. No bad games. Every game is a masterclass in Peak.
Can you recommend me a starting point? For someone who has no experience with these games, or any Japanese games besides Soulsgames and RE4 remake.
Feel free to roast me in the process.
Yakuza 0, kiwami, kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, 4, 5, 6, then 7, then Gaiden, then 8.
Then play Judgement and Lost Judgement. Not part of Yakuza's core canon. But adjacent.
This is the way.
