But how did they sell?I'm not expecting anything, I want it. Doom and Wolfenstein are both gory and great looking even on switch.

Cool. Glad we have one die-hard Yakuza fan here. I had a little trouble getting into Yakuza Kiwami, but I'm at the point now where the story is taking off, and I'm getting into it. From the sounds of the reviews, I'll be picking up Kiwami 2 down the road, too.
The stories are just so well done that they have all hooked me, I like brawlers too so that helps. I'm worried about how I'll feel when they move on to a new character with the next game in the series, I really like Kiryu.
Oh, I didn't realize that Kiryu wasn't in #3. That's too bad. I like him as a character, too. So moral and serious. The contrast with some of the side stories can be really funny, and the way his character plays off Nishki and Majima is great.
I agree about the Yakuza stories. I'm not into crime dramas, usually, but these really surprised me. Maybe it's the different culture; maybe it's the morality; maybe it's just how much melodrama there. I think it has a lot to do with the characters, who are unique and interesting. The humor helps a lot, too. The game could be rough, if everything was serious. Whatever the mix is, they pull it off and keep me entertained.
No he's in all of the games so far but 6 is supposed to have been the end of his story but there is going to be another Yakuza game with a different lead character I really wish they had released them in order here so it wouldn't be so confusing lol.
I want to try one of these games, but I hate taking chances on games these days. Which of these games on the PS4 would be the best to try out?
Plugging away at this, although I have to admit, I've lost my enthusiasm. I just don't enjoy the brawling gameplay. I am just playing it strictly for the story at this point. The side missions are occasionally funny, but I don't know. I went a couple weeks without feeling the urge to play at all. I think I'm losing my enthusiasm for the series. It just feels like a way to pass the time. I do like Kiryu as a character, but I'm not sure it's worth playing through, just for the story. The fighting -- which of course is the main gameplay element -- just doesn't interest me.
I've been losing interest in videogames generally, though, so I'm not sure if it's specific to Yakuza or just part of an overall pattern.
I haven't been playing as much lately either but there are a few games I'm really looking forward to that are coming out in the next few months. I think with Spider-Man, AC: Odyssey and RDR2 I spent a little too much time gaming during the holidays and kind of needed to step back a bit. Once MK11 and Days Gone come out though I'm likely going to be right back into it.
Ah so you were high when you were starting to get back into Xbox, that explains it! lol jk. I get ya, I regret buying the One X myself now, games look good enough on the Pro that I could have been just fine without the One X, it's proven to me I don't need two consoles so I doubt I'll ever buy another Xbox again unless they really do a 180 on first party, and I don't see them doing that based on their current strategy. That Netflix of gaming model is going to kill any incentive for spending a large amount on non GAAS games, people may dispute that but when you look at Netflix and the issues they'll be facing when it comes to their financials I don't see this model working well for gaming long term. We'll see, never say never but unless Sony craps the bed and ruins things with he PS5 I'm pretty sure that'll be the only place I'm gaming next gen.It's been a mood I've been in for about six months now, since after the E3 hype faded. I was heavily into games then, although that was because I got hold of some weed. Weed always makes me get into videogames, maaaan, and play them for hours a day, maaaaan. But after the weed runs out, I am back to feeling ho-hum about games. The feeling has intensified lately. Not sure why. Could be because I'm very conscious lately about how I spend my time, and maybe also because I don't feel the need for stress relief/escape as much as I did in the past, because life has gotten better and easier (thank goodness).
I bought an X during that little June heyday. Seemed like a good idea at the time, though I really need to learn to stop making videogame-related decisions when stoned. They never work out, lol. I ended up selling it a week ago. I've also been going through my house, room by room, on a minimalizing juggernaut -- tossing out everything I don't use or need anymore. Many trash bags full. X was something that had to go, too. Not interested in all the streaming stuff, cloud initiative stuff, gamepass subscription "Netflix of gaming" angle, Play Anywhere, or any of that stuff, especially when it's combined with releasing one mediocre game after another. I much prefer Sony's focus on home console gaming and fewer but quality games. My time is much more valuable than my money. I'm not interested in a wide selection of mediocre but titles for $10/month. I've got better things to do. And I feel like having 2 consoles under my TV is excessive. I'm not so into videogames that I need two consoles. And Sony deserves the spot.
(heh, that was a bit of a ramble. I figure it's better here, where only you and maybe two other people will read it.)
I'm not sure what game will pull me back in. I've cooled on Days Gone. This is a commonplace observation, but it seems like "just another open-world zombie game" to me, and I'm not a big fan of the gorey and grey aesthetic. I might end up giving it a chance, just based on my affection for Syphon Filter, but I'm not feeling real positive about it. I'm wondering how Dreams will turn out. I'll probably get Ghost of Tsushima, when it comes out -- and certainly Death Stranding and TLOU2, too, although those might not come until 2020. I've got some other smaller games I'm curious about, but nothing I'm chomping at the bit for.
p.s. Majima has made his entrance in Kiwami 2, so things are looking up.

Looks like MS and Sega really have made up. Never expected to see this series on Xbox
