Yakuza: Like A Dragon (2020)

[eJm]

First proper Western trailer for the game and, as the tweet says, it's launching on pretty much everything.

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Even though I'm getting it on a different system, the sheer fact it is an Xbox Series X launch title makes it likely to be the best launch title on the system.

[Deleted]

Surprising it's going to launch on the Xbox Series X and not the PS5, but then again, the PS5 will have backwards compatibility with PS4 games (and only PS4 games).

[IgnahtaSempria]

Cool. At the rate this quarantine is going, I'll be able to finish the series before this comes out.

[eJm]

We have new English text gameplay, more Dev comments and a release date which is....the launch of the Xbox Series X which...yeah...

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

The title just makes me want the next karaoke game to be "Like a Dragon, touched for the very first time..."

Also, best new karoke song for the series is in this game:

It’s a about demons making a hot pot in hell using useless humans as ingredients, the main one being people who send stupid replies on Twitter lol

I'm like 90% sure it's also a homage to Seikima-II.

There's a bug with the Rookie Enforcer Part-time Hero challenge I discovered where the number won't go up unless Kasuga has the job.

Every other character I've used in the party never gets their Enforcer kills counted, even if they were the last attacker to finish the battle.  The description claims the kills should count for any character.

Just thought I'd bring this up to see if anyone else is having the issue.  It's on the PS4 version.

Thanks for the heads up since I’ve been playing through this the last few days.

By the way, I’m digging it way more than I expected it to and a weird nice diversion from me starting the “core” series with 0.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I like this game, but the cutscenes do get too long in certain parts, such as Chapter 3 and the finale.  In Chapter 3, I was thrown into a minigame right away and was wondering when I would get to save again.

[JIMBOB]

Love having the sewers and Battle Arena to level up characters at different points in the game. Also been winning money at the casino to have enough money to get the strongest weapons and gear before the final battle.

This game has its claws in me which means I’ve been playing it a lot.

Like the story is good with all its twists and turns but when you’re helping a guy called Mr Masochist feel pain again, that’s when the magic happens.

[Hypnosis]

The 16-bit sprites of the party members on the loading screens makes me want to see a spinoff old school JRPG with Yakuza characters.

Joon-gi Han is basically Korean Darby Allin, right?

Even sounds like him.

Just going to leave this here.

[eJm]

That's...pretty damn significant considering.

Bumping because Ive just finished this game and need to say how freakin’ wrong I was about it

As soon as they announced it was becoming turn based I immediately said nope not for me especially with the protagonist change but when I was trading some games in I had credit left over and just said fine I guess and man was I wrong. This game was awesome and I had such a blast playing it even the stuff like the management game. Normally with these games whilst I enjoy them I find them overly long and the substories annoy my OCD because I find they just get in the way but this time I actively sought them out because I wanted an excuse to keep playing

I’m up to 78 hours and if I didn’t have a massive backlog I’d probably do more of the games, part time hero missions etc but I could defo see myself coming back to it at some point

Played The PS4 version and enjoyed it so much I said screw it and got the PS5 version also.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I need to get back to it. I played the first three chapters or so when they put it up on Gamepass and then it just wound up completely sidelined.
