Fantastic news for Like a Dragon fans as the latest in the series Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has been checked over and confirmed Steam Deck Verified by Valve ahead of the release.
It will arrive on January 25th, and the previews coming in from elsewhere have been pretty glowing, so it's good to see another major upcoming release that will work great on Steam Deck (and so Linux desktop too!). Valve gave it the Verified rating with the current Proton 8.0-4.

Confession time: I've not played any of the Like a Dragon games or the Yakuza games either. Am I really missing out on something here? If I were to start - where do I pick it up from?

I might despise the actual Yakuza in real life. But Kiryū Kazuma is an absolute badass. 💪
Quoting: GuestAlso how can you despise Yakuza...So, after the Fukushima thing, the Yakuza teamed up with the company that owned the reactors to force people they were loansharking to go work at reactor cleanup even though it was a death sentence. Then when they got sick from the radiation, they were laid off so they could go die at home and nobody would record it as having anything to do with work at a reactor. So yeah, that's one thing that might cause a person to despise the Yakuza. As well as nuclear reactor companies.
Quoting: GuestIf you told me Robert Pickton gave lots of money to charity in between his rapes and murders, it would not really make me say "Oh, I guess he's not so bad on balance".Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: GuestAlso how can you despise Yakuza...So, after the Fukushima thing, the Yakuza teamed up with the company that owned the reactors to force people they were loansharking to go work at reactor cleanup even though it was a death sentence.

Meanwhile the Yakuza where launching relief efforts (that the government didn't) when the Earthquake hit Japan in 2011

That's just more of the same sort of rhetoric some people used to defend the mafia organizations in Italy and the US. And the triads as well I think. "They took care of their communities." You know, when they weren't doing vicious crime syndicate stuff.
The Yakuza are seen as this romanticized comic book version of the brutal murderers and criminals they actually are. But hey, these games look pretty entertaining.
Quoting: tuubiThey do look entertaining. And I myself sometimes enjoy a nice "Rough-hewn but honourable Yakuza guy does improbably noble things while taking care of an orphan girl" manga. I don't confuse it with real life though.Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: GuestIf you told me Robert Pickton gave lots of money to charity in between his rapes and murders, it would not really make me say "Oh, I guess he's not so bad on balance".Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: GuestAlso how can you despise Yakuza...So, after the Fukushima thing, the Yakuza teamed up with the company that owned the reactors to force people they were loansharking to go work at reactor cleanup even though it was a death sentence.
