Hang on, established 2020, so what are their 5 stars for?

Unless for some reason they decided to give themselves a star for every time they won in the FGCL this year, I have no idea.

Remember Inter Florida, the club with the hilariously low-effort clipart crest?

They changed it.

Coming this fall to theatres and HBO Max, Inter Florida FC, winner of the Palme D'Orr at Cannes.

Even the Bard should be useful as a support/buffer in low levels, the rogue can do nasty damage with Sneak Attack. Sorcerors can be a bit meh in low level except in 5e where they get infinite cantrips.

Sounds more like bad luck from how Jericode describes it.

Clerics ARE a bit powerful but yeah that's really fuckin odd. What else is the team made of?

MLS is clueless. Since 96.

did a show. here's a replay if you missed. I did an Iron Man match in Fire Pro... and a PROMO.

The Rowdies beat Phoenix Rising FC. So if we accept that as the outcome of last year's championship, that means that this incarnation of the Rowdies actually has won two championships.

The other teams being noted clipart gator team Inter Florida, and Boca Raton Juniors. Meaning a possibility of an all-Broward county final!

while I love Fire Pro with mods, it's kinda immersion breaking for things like this to happen during a stream:

Why is the new Columbus logo a g?

Why does it look like an esports team logo?

Why are you emphasising the Crew aspect when you're removing Crew from the name?

Why?

Because lol, MLS.

Can we now start pushing to disband the MLS in favor of an open league then?

EDIT-

The CFO of Ralph's Mob got it right

Even Seth Rollins wouldn't put that pattern on a suit

Columbus Toothybois.

I liked the stock cars.... until it got too hard.

Beating it may be necessary to get 100% in the real estate side-story, though. You CAN complete it without it, I think, but that side-story is also really lucrative for money during late game.

Question - do all the mini-games get unlocked at a certain point or can I only play some depending on where I am in the story? 

IIRC, the only ones that unlock as you progress are the casino, two of the arcade games (which you unlock through sidequesting) and the catfight club. Otherwise, as long as you're not in a mission (and thus there's no (/) signs on your map limiting where you can go where you want.

Also, be warned: The slot car minigame and related sidequests can get HARD later on. You basically have to have a perfect build for the track in question in the last few races.

YET-TAY vs Repo be like

I don’t understand how the American roads work.

Everything's made up and your turn signal doesn't matter.

I am a couple of hours into the game. My very initial thoughts: 

• There is way more story than I thought there was going to be. I was not keeping track, but the first fight was 20 minutes or so into the game. 
• I kind of wish there was voice acting in English.
• I like the action of the game, it feels very fun. But I presume the big pull of the game is the story. 

Yeah, Yakuza 0 can be very RPGish in story pacing. Rest assured, there is PLENTY of action, but there's also a ton of cinematic storytelling too. The cutscenes are AMAZING.

As far as the voice acting goes, well the decision to go Japanese-only for VAs goes back to original game, which had a very slapdash acting job where the only person who really gave a shit was Mark Hamill. They all did this thing where they changed the stretched length of the English VA to match the length of Japanese VA, leading to some very weird tempo of speech, and a few things got lost in translation. They went Japanese-only from then on and the vast, VAST majority of the English-speaking fanbase agreed that was the way to go.

As to what Bobfoc said, the side quests and minigames are a huge part of this game's appeal, especially in the case of 0 which has not only has your standard sidequest material, but also a management sim and also a real estate side story, the two of which can take almost as long as the main story to complete. All the sidequests are wonderfully written to.

Gameplay tip: When you get Beast style, that's going to be your main go-to for random encounters and crowd control. You can easily multi-KO people with Heat actions, and your main grappling Heat action is basically a crucifix-style tombstone piledriver. Thug is good against people with guns and bosses and Rush is... well, you can move fast. Yeah, get your 200 KOs with Rush and avoid it from then on cause it kinda sucks IMO. 

Oh, and the first time you see the really tall dude... just don't get hit by him at all. Don't even try to fight. And when you see him in the overworld, avoid him until you're sure you're ready. He CAN be beaten, but not at the state you're likely to be in when he's introduced. You have to either be really good, prepped for him, or ideally both.

I cannot figure out how to make mods work, or if they even do work on the latest version, at all.

They do. The mods discord can help you with that. PM incoming.

also, unrelated "very nice finish" post

Urgh, what a pain in the arse. Not sure if it's even worth it.

Yeah, unfortunately Spike has more or less dropped support for the game so the workshop implementation isn't changing.

It's a shame though because parts and move craft means basically infinite content.

Could always make your own stuff! It's not that hard once you learn it.

Guessing you mean within the workshop?

I download TheAvengers ones as he has a good spread of collections. Are there any others I should look out for? I mainly want current day WWE/AEW and then historic WWE/WCW and ECW.

I... make my own dudes. But from what I know from reputation, Senator makes good stuff, though. Lord Worm too.

But yeah, you have to subscribe to everything the edits need through the workshop. For my custom dudes I made it a point to link to every move that's modded in but I don't know if everyone does that.

Bought the DLC on Steam as was on sale - however loads of my edits are still unplayable as it says I need to subscribe to about 10 individual parts for each of these wrestlers. The fuck? Does it not automatically do that when I subscribe to the edit on the workshop?

Yeah, Spike... did not do that well. Hopefully the edits you subscribed to provide links to the parts you need.
