Like a Dragon - Infinite Wealth: FULL Story Review

[@Depressed_Utraman]

RGG weren't lying when they made Ichiban the next protagonist of the series, they had to make sure Kiryu to not come back

[@deaddisciple5259]

Mate, you’ve no idea how much I appreciate these yakuza videos! Ive just completed infinite wealth but the previous videos served as a perfect recap.. respect

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

There's definitely a lot to keep straight in this series. Happy to help!

[@achyutabharadwaj6935]

I love how kiryu has cancer because of some radioactive waste and not because he smokes 20 packs of cigarettes a day. Wild

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

@@achyutabharadwaj6935 i mean when you rip through cigs as often as shirts, you have a point lol

[@lizdevilz7271]

I just realize Infinite Wealth is just Kiwami/1 in reverse way. I just start to love how they give Ichiban challenge “Here, Now you’re gonna face what Kiryu face back then. Let’s see how you solve it”.

[@hvze_muzik]

What a wonderful video! Hearing the plot points condensed actually made me appreciate the story a lot more. It made it clear that the problem wasn’t the story as much as pacing and the underdeveloped villains. All of the themes are there and are powerful but they’re diluted a bit by the execution… which I can’t really blame them for when they tried to do so much in one game. Loved this game! Love it a little more now 👍🏽

[@it_burns]

I always send these recaps to friends whenever they need them. You're the best at this.

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

That's love. Appreciate all the support. 🙏

[@Quantum722]

The fact that Ichiban strong lifts a 90 year old dude means he's got 1/3 of Kiryu's strength. Gotta love the KO sfx from SF4 from Kiryu performing the Joryuken (Shoryuken)

[@anthonyjordanmoviesandmore2470]

Joongi it didn't show up for no reason he was upset because he was being left out of the fun in Japan so he decided to chill with his boy ichiban in Hawaii😂😂

[@TheGman4747]

Haha right? He even did it without asking Seonhee because he felt that left out back in Ijincho. Honestly, I don't blame him in a way.

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

I agree and understand that, but let's be real. There's no significant reason why he needed to be in this game. Felt like a last minute add in my opinion. Seonhee could have sent Ichi an email with all the information Joongi provided. 🤣🤣

[@Sirthatguy]

I just beat the game. Imo one of the weaker main plots. Feels like too many plot threads and characters that didn't really mesh into one strong cohesive story. The game shined in just how much content there is, and the charm of its leads.

[@santiagobenavides1359]

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Gotchu! Appreciate the support.

[@pegasuskiller9905]

Thanks again for the recaps man they are so easy to follow

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Glad you enjoy them, youre welcome!

[@sedrayquaza7043]

This game was a fucking rollercoaster. The last scene with haruka haruto and kiryu where our boy kiryu FINALLY takes his name back and now has the will to live!! It fucking made me cry fr 😭. My favourite dynamic intro was prolly sawashiro or ebina wbu? Also i have to say that ebina and bryce didnt live up to expectations, but they were alright. You think hanawa will comeback tho?

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

RGG really going to have to pull something out of their ass to bring Hanawa back, but if anyone can do it, they can. Next game will definitely be interesting for sure.

[@dagarob_c]

Finished it last night and this was like always a great explanation. “Kiryu Ronaldo kicks a desk chair into this man’s back” “Yamai and his body positivity ladies” too many hilarious lines. 😂 I beleive Kiryu will be in the next game but He will marry Sayama and chill with Haruka as Ichiban takes the full time lead role.

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Appreciate you fam. Glad you enjoyed it. I really hope they reconnect. RGG dropped hints that sayama's down and kiryu deserves her fr.

[@m8rs558]

My man coming in clutch. Been excited for this one

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Gotchu 👍

[@anthonyjordanmoviesandmore2470]

I wasn't expecting to like yamai so much I hope he's back in Future games because he really has potential to be ichiban's majama

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

I was pleasantly surprised about Yamai, and personally like his history and character development. He would be an interesting add in future games.

[@Hayashi1987-f7g]

Masataka ebina from the hit series like a dragon previously known as the yakuza series was so popular that they decided to turn him into a real person

[@MargielaTheCat]

[@invisibleloveone]

Thanks again for the awesome video! It has been an amazing ride watching your videos and playing through the Yakuza games. This was like the video game equivalent of playing through Game of Thrones. Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is my favorite game play wise the RPG mechanism are much easier to learn. Ichiban is so different from Kiryu but they are both Dragons in their own way.

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Happy to hear you're still enjoying them! I'm a big fan of Ichi too and am very curious to see where the series goes. Very impressed with how they can make someone so different from Kiryu, yet just as compelling of a character.

[@dennistfossettjr]

You forgot the part about the flying vacuum cleaner that plays bangers

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

These videos focus important mainline story. Sujimaru is goated though.

[@FunhausRyan]

God I love your videos. Please never stop making them.

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Appreciate the love. I will as long as i can, dont worry.

[@KururuFrog]

I really appreciate you, man. The storylines of 8 and 6 were so boring to me that I skipped a lot of cutscenes. Thanks.

[@lordsaladito]

something i didnt catch is how did kiryu got exposed by tatara if chitose wouldnt do it anymore

[@Warrickomega]

Another awesome Review of story as always! Heehe.. I will have to disagree. I didn't mind the new Kiryu voice actor , but I can understand why some might not like them. The joys of references to Bruce. I was kinda wondering if there was going to be a reference to shark jumping (wait, nevermind.. Jaws jumping in) but not going there is also good! I'm convinced if we were to give Ichi a class in D&D 5th edition, he's a damn Paladin of the Oath of Redemption. I am kind of surprised you didn't mention the first time a Helicopter was useful (Airlift of Kiryu)... though it wasn't being flown by Date or similar so fair!

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

Helicopters dont count unless youre fighting through millenium tower. 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the video. I did have more jokes and content in the first draft but it made the video way too long. Trying to keep these "concise" as difficult as it might be for this franchise. Lol

[@Warrickomega]

@@LaMuerteBlanca You do well at keeping things concise. I do love the summary of the Dondoko island side game! I can't wait to see what the HECK RGG does next.

[@TylrSolvein]

I was let down by IW’s story. Most of everything besides a few character arcs felt unresolved. The resolution of the Kasuga and Saeko romance was what put the nail in the coffin for this game’s weak story.

[@LaMuerteBlanca]

@@TylrSolvein all fair criticisms. Im hoping the next one evolves some of the loose ends further.

What happened to Chitose at the end? Everyone was chilling at the bar except her, maybe Kasuga is the only one who forgave her 😅
