Yakuza is a Reflection on the Struggle to Keep Up with Changing Times

If video games are all products of their time, each Yakuza title is a freeze-frame of the time they were made.

No it isn’t. They’re exactly the games they want to be and I’m glad they don’t compromise.

Eamon969d ago

Lol, read the piece first.

CrimsonWing69969d ago (Edited 969d ago )

What is it about political correctness? Because i still feel my point stands.

Inverno969d ago

Your point doesn't stand and it isn't about political correctness smh

Eamon969d ago

What Inverno said. The article isn't about political correctness.

CrimsonWing69969d ago

Well then what’s the struggle to keep up? My point was they don’t need to change.

Inverno968d ago

It's a comparison to changing times in the Yakuza world to changes in real life bruh. Don't be so stubborn

CrimsonWing69968d ago

You’re absolutely right. I am so very sorry and have learned a valuable lesson. Some things are a struggle, just as this exemplary article has pointed out the struggles of changes in the Yakuza World to changes in the real life bruh, I too, must learn to overcome the struggles of reading a headline and assuming it makes sense to the context of the article.

I owe you, Eamon, and the editor of this article a sincere apology. I will take this lesson to heart, overcome my lazy struggles, and change.

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

italiangamer657d ago

Because it's not a Yakuza game, simple as that.

CrimsonWing69657d ago

Yep, licensing fees and whatnot.

RpgSama657d ago

So excited about the next Yakuza Like a Dragon I enjoyed that game much more than I thought K would have, went and got the platinum and everything.

IMissJimRyan657d ago

Yeah. I played them on GamePass, but it's good to others play those games.

Mobis-New-Nest657d ago

I'm still wondering why Horizon Forbidden West Delux Edition hasn't been added yet. Still hopeful it might get added in September 2022. Come Sony, do the smart business move and add all your first party games Day 1 on PlayStation Plus Premium.

mkis007657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

How is that smart? you just admitted to want to spend $18 for one month whenever a game comes out rather than $70 per game? Their sales are perfectly fine so low sales isn't a valid reason. Relying on subscription numbers is a losing game. You can't guarantee enough people will sub. 20 million subs doesn't beat 10 million copies sold at $30. (my average of the cost of a game over 3 years) For one game you make 300 million vs for the sub plan at 20 million paying 10 dollars a month (200 million) you have to pay out to all those developers before you can even count your money.

No chance it comes to plus plus this year. It will come when sales die down.

This is a dumb idea for a franchise thats almost certain to hit 10mil lifetime.they would lose 10's if not a hundred million dollars.

Two years from now when the horizons, ghost and gow's do come to the service xbox might be in trouble.they have nothing to compete with this line even years down the line.

Its called strategy.

SeTTriP657d ago

I just brought judgement the game is great don't know how I missed it so now I'm planning on buying all the yakuza games so this is great for me.

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

Muigi657d ago

Never played any of them, good excuse now to try these out.

SegaSaturn669657d ago

That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
