  • Infinite Wealth was a very fun game but it’s honestly one of the worst stories they’ve written in the series with plot lines that were incoherent with the situation they’ve wrote themselves into. Not to mention the amount of time they spent on the Hawaii side of things having a very plain and unexciting wrap up. It’s only redeeming points are all the numerous call backs to the earlier games which is lost if you don’t play the earlier games.

    I highly recommending playing in a modified release order.

    • Kiwami 1
    • Kiwami 2 (skip the Majima Saga for now)
    • 3 - 5 (these don’t age as well and the stories are quite a nose dive compared to the previous 2, so I think it’s fine to skip them if the gameplay isn’t really for you)
    • 0
    • Kiwami 2’s Majima Saga
    • 6
    • 7 (known as Like a Dragon in English)
    • Gaiden
    • Infinite Wealth

    There’s also Ishin which is fine to play anytime since it’s a spinoff but it casts characters from the main games to play historical characters so there’s a neat bit of irony if you know who the characters are in the first place. So playing it after 7 would be the best time.

    And then if you still want more, Judgment and Lost Judgment takes place in the same world and use the same brawler style gameplay but follows a detective instead.











  • the fact that I can put the Deck into sleep mode at a moment’s notice, the fact that I can take it on a plane or to another city and still play things from my library

    This is the largest thing for me. It’s insanely convenient just like the switch when taking the train or the bus, except that I have a full library of my Steam games and it runs way better.



  • These changes are great although on a slightly unrelated note. I can sort of understand why they don’t allow you to do it but it’d be nice if I could play something on my Deck while playing something on my PC too. Sometimes I’m just idling waiting for friends in a game and want to pass the time. I know you can just switch off Wi-Fi in the Deck to do that but it is still mildly annoying.





  • Unpopular opinion but I think it’s acceptable as long as its optional especially as multiplayer game where they are hosting servers. Those aren’t cheap and I don’t have the game so I wouldn’t know but if they do release more multiplayer content for free, I think it’s further justification because that’s better than paid content packs. As an example, CoD on PC had a recurring issue of DLC content being useless since too little people would buy them. Titanfall saw this issue as well and it was even worse due to the smaller player base. So with Titanfall 2 they just made it free and added cosmetics microtransactions that were actually reasonably priced.

    Maybe this is not the solution for everything but as long as it has no bearing on gameplay what’s the harm? If you’re not one to spend on microtransactions then you only get the benefits. I don’t think a more benign implementation should be criticised just because we fear the potential of it potentially becoming worse.
