What is Yakuza like a dragon? I’d that number 7? Huge savings I guess.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuza_(franchise)

Oh! Turn-based. I’m guessing codex already reviewed this.

The series' name is Ryu Ga Gotoku, which means Like a Dragon. However it was sold as Yakuza in the west due to it being more descriptive of its content for people in the region. Now they've gone back to title them Like A Dragon for the west too.

Dude they are serious crime dramas.

The deep discount sure is tempting.

Only 7 is turn based. The rest are action games. You may need a semi decent rig for them too.

Hey! Is that sega mascot from Japan in the Yakuza games?
Segato Sanshiro

Nix, but there will be a random dude on the streets named Sega who'll get beat up by you just like thousands of other goons.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Needs to be modded in each game.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Lordy, the OST is separate and like $10. Good grief.

[Lacrymas]

It's to support game preservation initiatives. Which I'm disillusioned with for multiple reasons, none of them related to game preservation itself.

TIL GOG installers just fucking delete the entire install folder even if it contains things that were not created by the installer and I lost one of my Stalker gamedata backups with a bunch of fine tuned mods because I wanted to remove an overhaul mod and reinstall.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Right?

Some reviews:

You get to kill sexy monsters and you be can literally smashed to death by huge tits, with a nice sense of humor

The gameplay's actually alright but...
But the game is creepy as hell. As in, it makes you look creepy as hell, more than you probably deserve in a saner world, but in this one, you do NOT want to let your female co-workers know you played this; they'll start looking for ways to get you fired. Heck, you probably don't want anyone to know you bought this. I only did because it had a "basically okay" rating on Zero Punctuation. I would have dropped it down to two stars for creepiness, because figuring out what you're supposed to do can be really frustrating your first playthrough.

Yeah… playing an anime school girl getting smashed by huge tits would probably raise some eyebrows from your coworkers. And why the fuck are you gaming when you should be working?

“ahem… weeb”

Yeah…. I’m sure your co-workers understand you just wanna enjoy a lil school girl getting smashed by monster titties. Work appropriate these days…. Mmmmm hmmm…

Are any of these any good?

Are any of these any good?

I can tell you one thing: Warbreeds is for RTS nostalgics only. It has some cool mechanics like being able to gather DNA from fallen enemies and mix them with your own to breed new troops, but there's a good reason why it's an obscure game. It's just not that good. I still got because it's one of the first demos I've ever played and it has a special place in my heart.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

Are any of these any good?

Phantasie is from what I've heard a classic series on the level of Ultima and Wizardry, it just got hit hard by time and the fact that the fourth game in the series was only released in Japanese despite not being a Japanese series.
Renegade is one I've had on my list of games to play for a long time, but I note that as far as space flight games go, everything outside of Elite, Wing Commander and Freespace has been forgotten and not necessarily for a good reason.

Unfortunately versions included in this package are inferior DOS and Apple II (for Phantasie II) ones.
