Jeffrey Matulef writes, "One of the four protagonists, Taiga Saejima, has just escaped death row after being in the pen for 25 years. Upon swimming to shore he passes out on a beach where he's taken in by series hero Kazuma Kiryu and the about 11 or so year old girl he takes care of, Haruka. The following morning Haruka wakes him up to see if he's okay and since his nerves shot from his escape the previous night, his first reaction is to pounce on her."
Includes Yakuza: Like A Dragon and the entire Kazuma Kiryu saga.
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
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
That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
Cultured Vultures: Ash has a massive backlog of games, lovingly dubbed the Pile of Shame, but its existence is beginning to become bothersome.
With RGG in the mainstream spotlight, about to complete their first simultaneous worldwide release, let's take a look back and rank the Yakuza games.
I just could not get into like a dragon I love Yakuza series but when they went with turn based combat it just was not for me. I hope future entries go back to its original roots or at least every now and then have a game where is real Time brawler combat
We do have judgement so at least there are other similar games being made by same developers
I’m sorry but no way is like a dragon better than Yakuza 0, 4,5, or 6. It’s different with a lighter hearted tone a lot of times. Plenty of slapstick and jokes. It literally feels like a DLC compared to the main Yakuza games. Unless you simply don’t like action games maybe… but going through the underground arenas, fighting the mini bosses randomly on the streets on different games for money or exp (like the guy in the gold suit for example). Not to mention the mini games, which Like a dragon has some too, but not as good as most other Yakuzas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Yakuza from the beginning. It’s like the metal gear rpg/card collector that was on PSP or Vita. It was a cool game and a lot of fun, but it wasn’t a METAL GEAR. It was fun for what it was. I don’t believe this person actually played through all the Yakuzas. Probably gamepassed like a dragon and dabbled in the others to get an idea.
There are a few I haven't played so I am replaying and playing through them now on GP.
I did like Like a Dragon, it kept the feel of the games, but I got bored of the combat about halfway in. It was the easiest RPG I've ever played.
If I remember correctly - Eri, lower defence move for all. Ichiban - Mega bat. Every fight over in seconds.
I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and so far it's the best game I played this year.
was crazy. he hasn't seen a women in 25 years. what do you expect lol. he stopped himself though because he knew it was wrong.
where is that "*SPOILER ALERT*" when you need one?
.
*SPOILERS* in article's description & link.
"He doesn't move, but merely hold his position for several seconds until a single tear rolls down his eye."
It's not a tear dude, it's a bead of sweat. He's having a crisis and getting hot under the collar!
"Wait, did one of the game's heroes just briefly consider child molestation?"
Haruka is round about 13 in Yakuza 4, not 11. Given the legal age of consent in Japan (which is 13) it wouldn't have been child molestation, but just flat-out rape. Still severly f**ked up either way you look at it.
This scene was amazing and very moving. But then all of Yakuza 4's cut scenes are awesome - some of the best I've seen in any game.
