"There is a difference between an opinion and an argument. A review doesn't mean anything if it's just a blithering of opinions unsupported by solid evidence and analysis, which I must note before I say that some game reviewers are wrong. Of course, a certain degree of subjectivity is allowed, but some critics take this much too far, severely underrating Yakuza 4 and the series in general." ~ Nick Tan, Game Revolution
Includes Yakuza: Like A Dragon and the entire Kazuma Kiryu saga.
I already own all these digital+physical.So good to see more people will get to enjoy them.
Wonder why Fist of North Star isnt being added
It's early days but this new service is looking better and better. The full Yakuza series! And with the monthly games this month too. Fantastic month
That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
Cultured Vultures: Ash has a massive backlog of games, lovingly dubbed the Pile of Shame, but its existence is beginning to become bothersome.
With RGG in the mainstream spotlight, about to complete their first simultaneous worldwide release, let's take a look back and rank the Yakuza games.
I just could not get into like a dragon I love Yakuza series but when they went with turn based combat it just was not for me. I hope future entries go back to its original roots or at least every now and then have a game where is real Time brawler combat
We do have judgement so at least there are other similar games being made by same developers
I’m sorry but no way is like a dragon better than Yakuza 0, 4,5, or 6. It’s different with a lighter hearted tone a lot of times. Plenty of slapstick and jokes. It literally feels like a DLC compared to the main Yakuza games. Unless you simply don’t like action games maybe… but going through the underground arenas, fighting the mini bosses randomly on the streets on different games for money or exp (like the guy in the gold suit for example). Not to mention the mini games, which Like a dragon has some too, but not as good as most other Yakuzas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Yakuza from the beginning. It’s like the metal gear rpg/card collector that was on PSP or Vita. It was a cool game and a lot of fun, but it wasn’t a METAL GEAR. It was fun for what it was. I don’t believe this person actually played through all the Yakuzas. Probably gamepassed like a dragon and dabbled in the others to get an idea.
There are a few I haven't played so I am replaying and playing through them now on GP.
I did like Like a Dragon, it kept the feel of the games, but I got bored of the combat about halfway in. It was the easiest RPG I've ever played.
If I remember correctly - Eri, lower defence move for all. Ichiban - Mega bat. Every fight over in seconds.
I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and so far it's the best game I played this year.
These games seem like their from another age.... Can't wait to play.
I really wish I had got into the earlier games in this series cause each new release just seems bigger and more epic.
Well as a newcomer to the series, I just picked up Y4 on a whim, I'm really enjoying it, love the stories and the characters.
Dont buy it......
this game well suck you in,i mean srsly this game is huge.
Great review. Too many other reviewers don't understand the series and just dismiss it as "old fashioned." What those other reviewers don't realize is that this series is *about* being an old fashioned person in a modern world. That's the whole point.
Good to see some intelligence in the gaming press.
