Yakuza: Like a Dragon, an explosive new entry point in the acclaimed Yakuza series, will be releasing as a launch title on the next-gen Xbox Series X, with simultaneous releases on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.
Fahad from eXputer: "Yakuza combat trades the series' classic brawling for menus and strategy, leaving some fans missing the beat-'em-up thrill."
It completely murdered the series for me. I love beatem ups, it's my favorite genre, always has been. The Yakuza series has always been the golden standard of that in my opinion and the annoying part is that they only went turn-based because of the reaction to a April fool's joke. Turn-based was something that I could never really get into despite trying. I wish I could get into it but it just does nothing for me and so when this game decided to go turn-based it just completely killed my favorite series which just really sucks.
I love the turn based battle system but I do wish they would have split the series into two franchises, the ones with Kiryu follow the classic battle system while the new ones with Ichiban do turn based combat
Least then both fans could have been happy and they could have cycled between each of them to keep things fresh.
I used to love using an arcade stick for these games. It's really really fun this way.
Pure turn-based games seem like a thing from the past when devs were trying to do something more cinematic but could not.
Not for me and I’m glad they made this shift. It’s been an incredibly fun game to play and honestly one of the highlights this year for me.
Who needs realism when you can throw a bike at a man dressed in a bin bag?
SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have announced that Yakuza: Like A Dragon has sold 1.8 million copies worldwide.
Very good for what was was considered a niche series once. Especially as its turn based 😅 can't wait to live on Infinite Wealth for a month
I hope we get HDR support!
that was a great trailer....Time to revive that old SEGA and Xbox partnership. Bring more of their games to Xbox like Atlus's Persona series. If they don't want to work on Shin Megami tensei series then at least port the Persona games on Xbox.
Quite the coup by Microsoft!
Good this series is still so underrated and under appreciated. As a long time fan I am not sure about the new turned based battle system but I still want the story
It will be so weird not having kiryu there
Big news for me. I have Yakuza 0 on hold while I finish up The Witcher 2 but I just love that Sega seems to have gone all in with this franchise on Xbox and Windows 10. Keep them coming Sega.
