That makes me even more sad. I wish both Lost Paradise and VC4 got the attention they deserved.

Just like Valkyria Chronicles 4, another great game that mostly got ignored.
To think broken ass game like Fallout 76 sells more than these two fantastic games.
It's a shame if true, because Sega even went to the bother of adding an English dub. Unlike Yakuza 6, this could be ported to Switch fairly easily (just reduce the resolution a little and halve the framerate to 30 fps). Hopefully that and a steam version could give it a little boost.
Wasn't Colonial Marines also made by Sega? Lesson for Sega: make more games like Colonial Marines and fewer like FotNS and VK4

Just want to update you guys.
I got the "Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage" game yesterday. It is not as visceral as the Lost Paradise game. You do get to punch a lot more baddies, though. I kind of went crazy with the buy 2 get one free used game deal at GameStop. I bought ten games.
Still, buy the Lost Paradise game. It will be good for your soul.

Yes, PLEASE buy this and enjoy it. It's so wonderful! I got wrapped up in RDR2 and Smash. But now that I beat those, I plan to resume this and finally complete it.

I bought and enjoyed the game for the most part when it came out. For me it was mainly bolstered by doing the minigames and sidequests, as the actual main story is somewhere between comical and awful with at least one shockingly bad twist. Unfortunately the side content is like a fraction of what's offered in most Yakuza games. Still, it was kinda fun while it lasted, even though I think I spent the lasts everal hours of the game grinding Manager Ken so I could pay off both debts, then delete the game. =P

My knowledge of anime begins and ends with this game. You should buy this game if you like "Mad Max" or action movie stuff in general. Be warned, it will make you more manly. My wife was watching me play and got pregnant.

It is ok for you to say NO. I understand. Not everybody will, though. I will show them why you say that.
Everybody, this is the kind of person who refuses the call...

This is very high up on my to play list, got it installed and ready to go. I enjoyed the Ken's Rage games for what they were but regret not giving them more time. Right now I've been getting back into Persona 5 but I've been debating waiting to see what P5R is going to be. Also, in regards to Valkyria Chronicles 4, I did my part and bought it twice, on PS4 and Xbox. I new I'd love Lost Paradise as soon as I saw the "you are already drunk" scene.

I finished FOTNS: LP this past Monday afternoon. Only completed the main story (I do the same for Yakuza) and 8 substories as they were mandatory/required due to setting up other stuff in the game that you can do.
Overall, a good 7.0/10 for me. For whatever reason, the combat feels worse to me than it does in Yakuza (I completed Zero and Kiwami). Story and characters are the highlight of the game. The map is decent size and looks good at best. Yakuza looks way better. The desert is simply dull, empty and bland. In a later mission, you see all these trucks and trailers and honestly, it looks like a PS2 game. It looks bad. At least to me. Also, the driving was meh and having other cars out there and hit you to start a melee battle (as opposed to car combat) was just a WTF moment.
For those who love Yakuza and/or the franchise, you'll most likely love the game. I personally didn't. On the positive side, the game cost me $25 off Amazon and I traded it in yesterday to GameStop for $24 as im an Elite Pro member so for literally $1, game was well worth the 15 or so hours I put into it. If it wasn't on sale for $25, I wouldn't have given the game a chance. For $30 or less and being a fan, it's worth it. For more than that or if you're not a fan, I suggest waiting for a huge discounted price on the game.
With all of this said, once I finish Darksiders III, my next game will be Yakuza Kiwami 2 as I start wrapping that up.

In all seriousness, this game at points gives the player a great feeling of being an overpowered wrecking machine. It has a quality that I find lacking in most glass-cannon type games nowadays. It reminds me of "Kung Fu" on the NES.
One punch takedowns.
It has an earnestness in the delivery that I love. If you are the type who loved when Charles Bronson blew that creep away with a rocket launcher...
..this game will bring you great joy.

Another update:
Holy cow! I did not know that there were arcade games out in the wasteland to find! I found "OutRun"!! And then I got to play "OutRun"! What else is out in the Wasteland?

There is entire quests dedicated to finding arcade games.

Yeah! The arcade owner. He asked me to go find arcade machines for him. I didn't actually think I would get to play them, too! I loved OutRun as a kid!
I also found a claw machine. But I am thinking about old Sega Arcade machines, now. Golden Axe? Space Harrier?

There's a free PS4 theme with this song.
Got this game at launch, and it's basically the best anime game ever made.

Fan of the franchise, and I picked it up recently for $20. Focusing on Lost Paradise right now. I just don't know what to do with the stickers included with this game. Omae wa mou shindeiru
