Interestingly I think 6 is the only Yakuza I'd put in this topic. Most of the rest definitely have connections and recurring characters but not to the point you couldn't feasibly start with them.

Yeah, I did get that impression from the way people on the internet and my friends talk about them. Though when/if I want to dive into the series further I imagine I'll start with Kiwami.

.I feel like most Ys games are not the best game to start with.

Why? Is the gameplay too complex or something?

@Raka_Putra Hopes and Dreams was in VGMC14, so it's probably not allowed

Oh, thanks! Somehow I missed it.

Persona 3 might be hard to get into nowadays, but it'll be even tougher to go back to if you start with P4/P5.
...and that's before taking P1-P2 into account.

I've only played 0 and 7 so far which funnily enough makes me completely oblivious to the 'actual' mainline story with Kiryu and Majima.

While we're talking about getting into a series with later games, recently I played Uncharted 4 without playing any of the previous games and thankfully it worked just fine, though I imagine the ending would've hit much harder for longtime fans.

I also played Radiant Dawn without playing Path of Radiance and did just fine since it had Micaiah, though to me the Dawn Brigade was just a cool bunch of experienced mercs.

Yeah, I heard Trails has very tight continuity. I've heard good things about the series but it's kinda daunting to get into.

Danganronpa V3

That's a great answer. Would be very interesting entry point, considering the ending...

I'm watching a 5-hour long KH3 review/recap video and well, with all the darkness mumbo jumbo, bloated cast of characters, and so many plot details spread through dozens of spin-off games, it got me thinking that Kingdom Hearts 3 must be one of the worst games to start with for someone who wants to get into a video game series.

I imagine this applies more to story-heavy series that are direct sequels, but what other games do you know that are just not a good way to introduce a new player to their series?

Isn't she dressed like the mailman, unless she's got another form later on (never played P4G).

Elizabeth, but also

Where the heck is Theodore

Only if it's free.

I'm also quite flabbergasted at what seems like MLP cameos, since they're owned by Hasbro.

Well, that was certain a movie trailer.

Thanks, much appreciated

Where can we see the VGMC13-15 list? I don't think it's on B8Wiki yet.

Hype. Though I hope it'll be even scarier without resorting to too much CGI monstrosity.

Not a fan but I just haven't listened to his works.

No guarantee about whether or not the shopkeeper's town will be safe. Other than the shopkeeper, it's fun to see there's a decent spread of everything else...except the town greeter lol.

I hope you're pre-beared for this unbearable bear of a battle!

Koromaru > Morgana > Teddie

Morgana is annoying and a simp but I like his design better than Teddie.

I agree with the Wanda/Vision spoilers.

Also Spider-Man No Way Home...you know the one (unless you've been spoiled).

Thanks for sharing. I think it's good that you're acknowledging your dark thoughts. Maybe not outright murder but I've definitely considered physically harming someone. I hope you have outlets to temper or channel that energy.

Read an interesting theory that I can buy.

Basically, someone is faking an alien invasion to scare the main characters away from their property and land, but then actual aliens will come into play

That's interesting and quite plausible.

Also yeah, Peele's movies gave me the same vibes as SCPs or Junji Ito stories.

MZero posted...

i assumed this would be a comedy and was not ready for that trailer

It looks pretty comedic compared to Get Out and Us.

It's like the "Thrilla in Manila" but with Diana and Camila!

Alien invasion?

Hoo boy.

Pancham is amazing. G-Fetch is also really cool but I never had one T_T

Ryuji's design is really nice.

Ryuji > Junpei > Yosuke

Weird dog.

crazyisgood

Sailor Moon has an RPG game in the 90's? Interesting.

Also Suikoden II for sure! The fact that it's only one that I have played notwithstanding.

Ooh okay, didn't hear about that one. Good for them.

Didn't Telltale file for bankruptcy like 3 years ago

Well, Dhelmise is already halfway there.

I can never remember which two of Ghost/Grass/Steel/Water it is. And when I first saw it whoo boy was I ever confused. It's the first two.

As for today, Cloyster, but none of them was my particular favorite.

Yeah 5 and 6 have some looong cases.

Yeah 2 was pretty good too IMO, though I wasn't sure at the beginning. I enjoy how the different guests bring a different dynamic with the main character.

Episode 3: I'm originally from Pakistan but moved to London when I was 3. lmao

Looks ok.

It's a partially improv series where a celebrity guest has to play detective in a murder mystery, but only they don't know the script and what's going to happen.

On episode 1 with Conan O'Brien and I'm having a blast so far!

8/10

Some great cases, but the Khu'rain and non-Khu'rain parts kinda feel a bit disjointed, and Sadhmadhi is not a fun main opponent.

Clobbopus I guess. It's the only one I wouldn't feel guilty putting in my team instead of an aquarium.

Shellder is also cute though. And anyone remember back in Gen I when we had the other, more elongated, and smoother design? Glad they discontinued that one.

This Direct was hype.
Live A Live and Chrono Cross were the frontrunners for me.

I don't actually remember.

Yes, poor Ramza..................

07th Expansion

Well, this was hard since I don't have strong feelings about most of these.

I tried using Frosmoth in my gameplay but...she wasn't all that great in the late game. And the typing made her extra squishy.

I went with Glalie. I didn't like it very much at the start but it grew on me. And it's pretty useful in Pokemon Shuffle.

Again, thanks for all the recommendations! I've got Hitman but hasn't had the chance to play it.

The Forgotten City - should be around 5-8 hours

Oh yeah, definitely getting this. Has heard nothing but great things about it.

Thank you!

They're not on sale currently (the CNY sale) but I'll jot them down.

I'm about to finish Y7. It's such a long (though great!) game and I'm in mood for shorter but just as great experiences.

I hope it's Nintendo.

Snom is for petting not fighting!

Well, that's not taking into account GTA I-IV sales, so...
