I’m a massive fan of the franchise, so it’s a no-brainier that I’m gonna buy and play it as soon as it releases. Im one of those people who signed the petition addressed to Sega about bringing this to the West.
Haha, thanks for signing it. The first yakuza I played was zero. I remember when yakuza came out on ps2/3 back in the day but I didn’t pay attention because I thought I was just another gta knockoff…boy was I wrong lol
Ayy a fellow OG fan. Same here I've been playing this series since the ps2 era. Thanks for having a hand in the petition. Looks like it's gonna be a good year for yakuza fans.
wow, honestly.. same here. I bought 7 a couple years ago partly because of hearing her talk so passionately about the series, albeit having played Judgment already.
3:00 This right here is what I wish RGG Studios would bring back: a chance for your opponent to counter a Heat action if you fail a prompt or something.
@@mydogeatspuke Whether or not he is Majima doesn’t matter even if he’s just a face on a historical figure because he looks pretty much like Majima. People ain’t gonna care enough to distinguish them
@@mydogeatspuke I mean, those people are already in this comment section right now… But if you really need me to specify it, then some if not most of the people who play Yakuza won’t care enough to distinguish Majima and Okita. Y’know, especially because they look, sound, and may probably even act like eachother?
@@mydogeatspuke Right, I guess literally observing the community falls under imagination as well. Regardless, even if they aren’t the same he’s still pretty much just a samurai Majima. Even if he isn’t exactly Majima, people are still gonna get a taste of him in this game.
My friend is gonna love this... He introduced me to Yakuza 0 and advised me to play them in order...so it'll be a while before I'll possibly get to Ishin.... On a sidenote it's Ghost of Tsushima with the Yakuza spin on it and it's really nice. Hope my friend will one day be able to play Ghost.
I have the Japanese version, so I'm really interested to know what has changed. I was thinking to go back and get the plat, but I might just get this one instead.
Do you mean the original version? Because this is still going to be in Japanese. It's a full remake though, and includes characters from the RGG games that hadn't yet been released. The version of the game that's coming out next month hasn't been released in Japan either
@Thembill yes, I'm talking about the original release. I loved playing it, but I don't remember it having cards etc. I'm really hopeful for a Kenzan remake.
Love how passionate you sound about this game. I just started getting into the yakuza series and have played 0 and like a dragon. Absolutely loved it. I want to eventually play the rest of them but this is a definite pre order for me.
Holly was the reason I ever tried the Yakuza series. And I'm glad I did because this series has become my favorite hands down. Of any game series. If you've never played a game from them, or even if you have, Like a Dragon: Ishin is a MUST PLAY. I actually got a tear in my eye I was so genuinely happy when it got announced
Hey Rosie, I'm so excited for this game. I was wondering why did they make Sakomoto Ryoma join the Shinsengumi? Isn't Ryoma one of the proponents that fought against the Shogunate meaning, he would be opposed to the views of the Special Police Force protecting the military government?
I stumbled upon Yakuza zero on a sale bought it with no knowledge. That was the best decision I ever made. As of rn I own every Yakuza and spin off by RGG studios for my ps4. I love the series and I will definitely be picking this up hopefully the deluxe if I can🙏
I'm a huge yakuza fan and I will buy this game for sure. However, I haven't play lost judgment either. Can anybody out there give me a hint on which one should I play first in case I want to save the better for last. Thank you in advance.
In case peiple are here now trying to decide on the game, i am only on chapter 5 and i have 50 hours in it already because i keep getting lost in the side stuff
Can't wait to play this, one of my anticipated games of the year. I was saddened to find out there's no CE on the U.S., so I went ahead and purchased it straight from Japan & import over here. But definitely pre-ordered it too to get the steelbook and not have to wait 3 weeks for my shipment to arrive post launch.
If you've never played any yakuza game do not buy. The irony of goro and kyriu in it won't hit you the way it should. But make sure you get yakuza 0 and both judgement and lost judgement the then hop over to inshin
1. Rosie said so 2. She really likes it 3. I mean REALLY! 4. Not buying it would upset Rosie 5. You don't want to upset Rosie - see Xmas maze for details
I'm sad we don't have another way of the samurai but this looks dope and will fill a similar niche I was sort of expecting it to be turn based with it being Like A Dragon
Generally LAD: Ishin is going to be a breath of fresh air compared to playing Y7 which I didn’t finish because the turn based combat just isn’t for me and isn’t what the game should be about hopefully none of the future games have that combat otherwise it’s really going to turn me off
@@noaamonyakuza5 They confirmed the mainline series is gonna keep the turn based shtick, Judgment and other spin-offs (I guess) will keep the classic brawler combat
Yes, it is a spin off game and thus has no connection to any of the main series games other than the fact that the characters are from the Yakuza series, appearance wise obv.
@@DeathTheKidSSGSS Is that a big part of the experience tho? Does prior knowledge of the characters from previous games important to understand the character they acting as in this game ?
My excitement for this game might be even twice of Rosie. I saw this game before when it was launched in japanese. Its a shame my japanese is non-existence, but I was even thinking to learn japanese just for this game. So imagine my mood when this game was revealed
Can’t believe I’m having to say this on a channel I used to love so much buuuut…. You guys aren’t really a valid source for an objective review. Every game you review is always like THE BEST GAME EVER and you guys are always saying “oh my god it’s SO GOOD” regardless of the title. Not every game is that good. Feels like you all are just getting paid to hype games whenever you “review” them. If so that’s cool. Make your money. Just feel like I can’t trust the PlayStation access opinion anymore 🤷♂️
I wish it had English dub. Thankfully the other games have gone back to having an english dub option. It's annoying trying to read subs and watch something cool happening at the same time. Bring on Like s dragon 8.
The gameplay isn't trying to be extremely realistic, because Ghost is definitely more on the realistic side. The combat of the Yakuza/Like a dragon games was built around fist fighting, so swordsmanship was the never the focus until this game, thus their is not as much depth as Ghost, but that lost depth is found elsewhere imo and each game has it's charms and faults.
This game is a remake/remaster of one of their older games, so the combat was taken from that and upgraded and polished, kinda modernized and that is probably why it may look old.

I'm a huge sucker for period Japanese games, regardless of realism. This looks like a ton of fun! ⚔️
Rosie is the whole reason I started the Yakuza series! Her love and enthusiasm for the game is infectious. I can't wait for this one!
Simp
It was really great that we had Hollie in the beginning and when she left, she passed the baton to Rosie!
wow, honestly.. same here. I bought 7 a couple years ago partly because of hearing her talk so passionately about the series, albeit having played Judgment already.
3:00 This right here is what I wish RGG Studios would bring back: a chance for your opponent to counter a Heat action if you fail a prompt or something.
I am super looking forward to this, definitely amongst my most anticipated games of the year. It looks so good!
If fantic Majima is the thumbnail, I will watch. (Also: Rosie please introduce Majima to Ash. She will love him).
Its great they are doing this. Perhaps one day they will do a remake of the older Kenzan game which was set it the same period.
u know if u see Majima in it then its a must buy.
@@mydogeatspukeSame thing
@@mydogeatspuke Whether or not he is Majima doesn’t matter even if he’s just a face on a historical figure because he looks pretty much like Majima. People ain’t gonna care enough to distinguish them

I am very excited for this game to come out and hope other iterations of Yakuza games that were only available overseas come out too 😊
Years ago I found a video of Majima/Okita singing samurai karaoke and it's the best thing ever! Can't wait to play this game!
The god of pro wrestleing has a cameo in it as a summon
A big thank you from me to you Rosie! It’s because of you that I’m on the Yakuza journey! just finished 4 yesterday now it’s onto 5
Waiting for like a dragon sequel, this game will do 😤❤
My friend is gonna love this... He introduced me to Yakuza 0 and advised me to play them in order...so it'll be a while before I'll possibly get to Ishin....

@Vanswock ah
From Yakuza to samurai police.
Oh man are those hundreds of gintama episodes finally going to give me a small heads up?! Do they have the neo-Armstrong-cyclone-jet-Armstrong-Canon?
Hahaha, i was just about to comment how this is as close as we will get for a Gintama videogame!
Glad i started watching the show recently
I hope they give us Like a Dragon: Kenzan as well!!!
Based kenzan enjoyer
bakamitai is in there? now i really can't wait

@@charliemilroy6497 yeah from what I understand it's quite Final fantasy 7 level of remake, but it's a pretty big venture that they put into it
@@charliemilroy6497 The card system is a dungeon feature. You access the dungeons in Shinsengumi HQ, near your save room.
Love how passionate you sound about this game. I just started getting into the yakuza series and have played 0 and like a dragon. Absolutely loved it. I want to eventually play the rest of them but this is a definite pre order for me.
brothel mini games....*flashbacks of first god of war game* GYAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!
Ah yes, the Like a Dragon series is well-known for its realistic authenticity... Should be fun all the same!
This is awesome Rosie!
Awesome to hear Professor juice professing her love for such a cool series
this is the first game I have pre-ordered since Elden Ring, I *cannot* wait to play this.
I was already pretty excited for this game, now after watching this video I can't wait to start playing it!!
Definitely looking forward to the game 😏

I've played all 8 games in the series so far, will bypass my other 20+ backlogged games for this one.
Kenny Omegas also in the game!!
Hopefully this sparks way of the samurai 5

You had me at brothel mini game.
So this is about as close as we'll get to a Gintama videogame
Or rurouni kensin
The pun game in this video is on point. Eye see you Access gang.

Kuzeeeeeee
rosie went to the brothel for a quick romance session
No worries, I have already pre-ordered. XD
Looks good, been looking for a samurai game set in the bakumatsu period 😬😬
I need this. Thanks. Had no idea this was even a thing. Sugoi!
's soon as I saw Kiryu-chan...
If you've never played any yakuza game do not buy. The irony of goro and kyriu in it won't hit you the way it should. But make sure you get yakuza 0 and both judgement and lost judgement the then hop over to inshin

2. She really likes it
3. I mean REALLY!
4. Not buying it would upset Rosie
5. You don't want to upset Rosie - see Xmas maze for details
Can't wait for this
Can't wait to buy it on steam , Isshin also my top tier game in yakuza series
Is there a release date for this game? Man, I still need to play the previous Yakuza game and Lost Judgment.
For a crossover to be link for red dead redemption
I love rosie
Wish it had an English dub option 😞
I brought half of the Yakuza saga just to sit in my backlog....... I pray I do not do the same for this
Good video, I am looking forward to playing the game.

Already pre order I'm huge fan yakuza series
Reason six: Because it's yakuza
As someone who bought all the yakuza games in one setting during a steam sale im so excited
5 reason that can be summed but by... its a Yakuza game
Awesome team, great video.
I have only played Kiwami and like a dragon but I LOVE this time period. Can I pick up this game without playing the entire series ?
Yes, it is a spin off game and thus has no connection to any of the main series games other than the fact that the characters are from the Yakuza series, appearance wise obv.
@@DeathTheKidSSGSS Is that a big part of the experience tho? Does prior knowledge of the characters from previous games important to understand the character they acting as in this game ?
It's an RGG adaptation of the events that led to the Meiji Restoration(IRL Japanese history).
You'll be fine.
My excitement for this game might be even twice of Rosie. I saw this game before when it was launched in japanese. Its a shame my japanese is non-existence, but I was even thinking to learn japanese just for this game.
So imagine my mood when this game was revealed
Since I've played every RGG game from Yakuza Zero to Lost Judgment, of course imma get this game
Give me this game now!
Since I am RGG fans,This make this already must-play to me.
Majima 😍
My one and only reason to play Yakuza (in generall): Majima Goro
Rosie's boyfriend is back!
Rosie got me picking up the yakuza games again and i do not regret it thanx Rosie!
I can't wait to play this, I'm already dreading the amount of time I will be sinking into this one.
Yes
Can’t believe I’m having to say this on a channel I used to love so much buuuut….

Reason 1/1: its Yakuza game
Good game
Yakuzer
So it’s not gonna be turn-based?
Only the main games are atm, RGG Studios said that they will have normal fighting system games alongside (after this we are getting Gaiden)
This is a remake of a 2014 PS3/PS4 game that uses Yakuza 5 tech.
Can you play this without playing all the other Yakuza games?
Yea it has no connection to the other games other than the characters (who kinda play other characters if that makes sence)
Yea, go for it
Of course!
Thank you so far I've played Yakuza 7 and a bit of 0 so its nice to know if I want to jump in I can
@@mydogeatspuke but you understood what I ment
Good thing like a dragon ishin can already be played.
Women
It's a tough choice. Ishin or Octopath Traveller II. What a time to be a gamer. 🔥
Freee
This is turn base gang 👍
It's not
@Torrie Starfrost good I will get it then 👍👍
His name is Ryo-ma, not re-oh-ma. Two syllables. And Edo is eh-doh. Not yi-doh.
I wish it had English dub. Thankfully the other games have gone back to having an english dub option. It's annoying trying to read subs and watch something cool happening at the same time. Bring on Like s dragon 8.
Like a dragon DLC?
Full stand alone game
Stand-alone brawler style game, not turn based, and you can play this game without having any knowledge of the series
they changed the title for the series to Like a Dragon to match the Japanese name
@@tokisugar oooh
So Rosie failed to build the hype for Ash to play as she is only looking forward to watching Rosie play it..
See if you guys can "review" the 2014 original lol
i dont like this game 😂😂😂
If you play Yakuza with English dub you need to be sectioned
Hey the eng dub had mark hamil voicing majima in the ps2 version
The movement looks pretty poor compared to Ghost of Tsushima
The gameplay isn't trying to be extremely realistic, because Ghost is definitely more on the realistic side. The combat of the Yakuza/Like a dragon games was built around fist fighting, so swordsmanship was the never the focus until this game, thus their is not as much depth as Ghost, but that lost depth is found elsewhere imo and each game has it's charms and faults.
Because this is a 9 years old game remade in a new engine, the animations are reused mostly.
Game takes place in feudal Japan = Ghost of Tsushima clone
What does this have to do with Ghost in the first place?
@@mydogeatspuke I know, it just seems like some people think that way. The same people who call Yakuza "Japanese GTA"
Why does it look okd
This game is a remake/remaster of one of their older games, so the combat was taken from that and upgraded and polished, kinda modernized and that is probably why it may look old.
