Hell one of the best overall games.

Best blind purchase ive ever made by far. It was on sale in the Xbox store, I saw it was a separate story so you didnt need to play the others and it was turned based so I was like Hmmmm, fuck it why not.

What a fucking blast this game is, the story/characters manages to be both emotional and hysterical. The gameplay is top notch and an extremely fun/unique take on turn based battles. I love how its all grounded in the modern world and makes creative use of that.

So yeah, if you havent played id strongly recommend.

Also im officially a weeb because its the first time I chose subbed over dubbed since it felt weird for everyone to be speaking English in that setting.

Well Big Bobby is also addicted to meth so we should take his opinions with a grain of salt.

I thought that it was alright until about chapter 11, and then it dipped in quality during chapter 12, by way of gameplay and pacing, and continued to dip in terms of story, IMO.

This is about where I stopped. Seemed like I needed to really go grinding and I don't want to, so it's stopped me in my tracks.

yea, I felt it was a poor design choice to arbitrarily make all of the enemies higher leveled like that, and tell you that you need to grind.

even doing the tower thing and the sewers, I was still lower leveled than the enemies.

they weren't that hard outside of some late game bosses, though.

edit: at post 6

I agree, great game (game got very grindy near the end though). If you like the way things jump between serious and hilarious, you'll definitely like the other games from RGG. Lost Judgment just came out and takes place after LAD and makes several references to it (Eg. you can shop at Ichiban Confections)

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I did enjoy it a lot. Got me interested in the series. And I really like how Japanese everything is. The localization is excellent but still maintains a very strong cultural identity that elevates the whole experience

The Yakuza series was amazing. I played 3 and 4 in raw Japanese back in 2009-2010 and always wondered how this game was never bigger in the states. There's just so damn much to do in it, and it's immersive.

The grinding in the final third keeps me from ranking it up there with some of the other games in the series, but I really did enjoy the hell out of it.

Stop overhyping this trash

most of the time it is people that never even played Yakuza back on PS2, also people that played it for free on Xbox GP,

also only played ZERO and are stunned at THE STORY cutscene work that came from ZERO recently, stop it already

I had my doubts about LAD until I played it. Unlocked all the achievements except for the true final tower since I need to keep grinding to get the best equipment in order to survive the upper floors.

I made so many mistakes on that dungeon but still won despite not being entirely prepared. In fact, multiple times I thought I was gonna die, especially during the last boss fight. There was even a time where I lost a couple characters and kept getting pounded until I finally managed to revive them but even that took multiple turns since, miraculously, everyone OTHER than Ichiban kept going down.

Eithers a good entry point though 7 does end up spoiling major plot points from 6
Yeah, I played 0 then 7, and I wasn't lost at all, but did feel like I got spoiled for 6. There are some big moments in that game that hit harder if you're familiar with at least the characters of 0-6.

I really liked it, but it was REALLY grindy if you want to really do it all.

One thing that will save you a lot of woe when you get to it, though: The battle arena you're introduced to during the main story isn't really optional. It is technically optional, but the story enemies will way out-level you unless you go through it.

It's weird, because I like RPGs, and I like Yakuza, but every time I try to play LAD, I just... can't? Like, for some reason I REALLY don't like the combat, but I can't quite pinpoint why.

It's not the RPG mechanics because RPGs are my favorite genre
And it's not the action commands during the combat because I enjoyed Paper Mario well enough

Something about it just feels... off to me.
