SEGA has produced two of the finest adventure series of all time – but it's only right, now, that gamers recognise Yakuza has surpassed the iconic Shenmue.
Looks like a great event upcoming for fans of the genre. Get ready to unleash the dragon at Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience, a celebration of the series proudly presented by Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio at Lounge 21 in Anime Expo.
TheGamer spoke with tattoo artist Horitomo about his work, traditional Japanese tattoos, and designing the incredible tattoos in Like a Dragon.
As a Yakuza/Like a Dragon fan, the opportunity to check out the real-life Kabukichō, the location of Kamurocho in-game, couldn't be missed.
I see Yakuza as being a way better series than Shenmue, mostly because it had more games to flesh out the series. I don't think Shenmue could reach the height that Yakuza has now.
That being said, I still prefer Sleeping Dogs over both of them.
The gameplay is better which is no wonder since it had around 10 years to be as good as it is..but the story and the whole setting and their characters? Way too different to compare.
Both are stellar. They can both do well if Sega uses their brains.
No.
Both are great but Yakuza has always been better.
