A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I appreciate OPs opinion but I disagree with it. I played Like a Dragon because the game and the whole series comes so highly recommended. Man oh man is it not for me. The characters are cartoonishly one dimensional, the plot has the depth of a childrens anime and the so called humour is cringeworthyly bad. I had to stop after 3-4 hours. I already got told I need to power through get to the meat of the game to appreciate it. I just don't have the time or the will to suffer for hours in the hopes that it gets better.
Dont generalize the whole series based on 7, its the only JRPG in the series for now, and if you dont like it just try 0. I love the series but 7 is my least favorite because its turn based.
I love turn-based, it's my favourite fight mechanic. Like I mentioned, it's the childish over the top slapstick story I have an issue with. Are the other entries more mature?
The whole charm of the series is the contrast of the "serious" main story and the silly sub-stories, so I guess if you dont like that, it's really not for you. Every game has heartwrenching moments, but I wouldnt blanket them as mature.
Same. I'm not a fan of the Jrpg genre typically but I tried it because it was included on PS plus for a while and had stellar reviews. On top of all your very valid complaints that I agree with, the pacing is just abysmal. At one point you literally see a long cut scene, do nothing but walk down a street, see another one. Then go down another street and turn left and the you guessed it, cut scene that goes into a SECOND cutscene.
I get that people like it/that style of game, and I'm happy they enjoy them but it's definitely not for me.

I think I got a little farther than you and I even appreciated the humor and goofiness but it's just too repetitive for me
