  • Ultimately, Ishin is a great game to hold us over until Like A Dragon 8, which continues the mainline story, eventually releases. It retains pretty much everything that made the original game a fan favorite among those who did play it, while also smartly modernizing what was necessary with a light and deft touch.
    It’s hard to think of any fan of the saga who will come away from this release unhappy. If you wanted more Yakuza, you have it. If you were starting to get fatigued, but weren’t completely off the train, then this game is just fresh enough to re-engage you, and just familiar enough to scratch the itch.

    Yakuza is one of those franchises where you get a lot of game for your money with all the side activities and sub stories. This one was Japan exclusive for a while so I jumped at the chance to finally check it out and actually understand what was happening. I love RGG studios and can’t wait for this along with whatever comes next. Big fan of these titles.

    No such thing as a yakuza fatigue for me, yakuza is everything I'm looking for a video game, relaxing settings, chaos, violent, slice of life elements, cheesy side quest etc. The combat is easy but hard to master. Kiryu and Majima are great characters, I wish Rgg continue to cast them as actors for more spin offs if they can no longer come up with a mainline story for them. I'm glad this game is finally here.

    Just from the content I’ve seen(given I haven’t got my hands on yet) “Yakuza, Like a Dragon” is hands down the best game when it comes to side activities, miscellaneous task, & optional mini games, & task !!! Just from what I seen without having hands on, like I said. I can tell this game is gonna change & influence gaming from here on out in gaming all around.

  • @calvinmatthews1527

    I understand why this game didn't come out or get an English dub. Cause it released in 2014, still a few years before the JRPG boon of the 2010s where there was little interest in RPGs from East by publishers/developers. Here in the 2020s, the general public is accepting RPGs of any kind now more than ever. A perfect time to release a game of this kind. Thank God it's good too.

    • @theclassicmanila-style8435
      @theclassicmanila-style8435 Рік тому

      I would still suggest to play Yakuza 0 so you can have context about the main characters particularly Kiryu and Majima, I think if you think an idea of who they are, you'll look at them as actors playing on a different movie in this game 😎 it's an old game you'll get it cheap but dont worry this game is not connected to the main line story, its a standalone with the same characters with different names/roles.

    • @johntheyakuza
      @johntheyakuza Рік тому

      no you don't have to play the others. this is just a spinoff which takes many characters from the main series and poses them as the characters of this game. this game has no connection with the mainline story whatsoever. and if you are interested in jumping into the series, I'd recommend starting with yakuza 0. it's the prequel game to yakuza kiwami that started the journey of kiryu and majima. yakuza 0 is pretty cheap as well in steam. good story, best combat in the series, breathtaking music and so many characters you can feel for
