Carolyn takes us to the streets of Japan in this review of Yakuza 4.
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.
Playing this now, it’s the best Yakuza game, don’t know what some "reviewers" were thinking.
Loving Yakuza 4 at the moment. I'm Taking my time to enjoy the city and completing as many tasks as I can in the first play through without it feeling like a chore.
I completed the first part with Shun Akiyama (Very good stuff and very good writing) and I’m probably 1/4th through the second chapter with Taiga Saejima.
The characters are independently defined with deep backgrounds that contribute to their personalities and social interactions. What’s truly amazing is that there is a freshness to the game.
Sure, the graphic are slightly improved and the fighting mechanics are basically the same..that’s a given. The 'gem' however, is Kamuro City (it’s alive) and the fantastic story and lives presented through the writing and art direction.
It’s like watching your favorite annual sitcom take place in the most interesting place that you know. …it doesn’t get old.
… I just have to complete in the next month (Portal will be waiting)
Great review, just passed the game and I gotta say I loved every minute of it, the story was top notch and I can't wait to start all the side missions and everything else. I can see myself spending another 40 hours or so with this game.
F.C.K IGN!!!!!!!!!
anyway, i hope Yakuza 4 lets u BLUFF in poker now. -,-
seriously BLUFFING is an important play in POKER
