Like many new to the series, Like A Dragon brought me into the Yakuza world. I loved that game so much, I've bought every Yakuza game from 0 forward. Can't wait to play this game!

[@Pablo-ig7tx]

Oh, we have an almost similar upbringing to the series as i started with Yakuza 0 back in summer of 2020 and directly went for Like a Dragon in 2021 as i had readen both of those games were good entries for new players ; so i played both entries before beginning to play Yakuza Kiwami which was not my cup of tea .. it felt flat in comparison to Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon plot .. by the time i tried Kiwami 1 in 2022 , i had played another RGG studio game : Fist Of The North Star Lost Paradise which i had a good time with and, funny enough ; 70 hours or so whereas i could not continue Kiwami 1 after 10 hours 😅 .. I have played Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon so much over the YearS they became my most played Games Ever to date .. and i decided to buy Like a Dragon Ishin which i liked although not being a fan of the History of Japan necessarly. I also bought Kiwami 2 brand new for 20€ and is waiting for me to start and finish Kiwami 1 but i am occupied with Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth since irlts launch ; i did not wait for any game as much as this one .. and so far i prefere the original Like a Dragon 😅😔 as far as Story Goes .. it had much more impact on me ( Infinite Wealth is still a good game though ).

[@tenkai3641]

If Darryl Kurylo had voiced Kiryu this dub would be so fucking perfect, especially considering they got bill farmer back as Date. Having them both for one final goodbye would have been perfect, it would be such a great send off especially considering Kurylo and Kuroda are around the same age, and that sort of experience is extremely difficult to emulate. I really hope the casting director and whoever gave the go-ahead to YongYea instead of getting Darryl Kurylo back gets fired, that individual cannot have been of sound mind when making that decision

[@treazn]

Darryl Kurlo was an awful fit for Kiryu in 2005 and it wasn't any better in Like a Dragon. It was a mistake for RGG to bring him back in the first place. He makes Kiryu sound like a space marine

I am going to buy this, but only after they release some edition which includes all of the extras without additional cost.

[@jbones1453]

Same. I refunded my preorder once the ng+ bs came to light. When that’s included, I’ll bite or I’ll happily wait for it to be included in ps plus.

[@mandrews6282]

Maybe a complete addition years down the line. But almost every game does this these days. If you want all the extra features you have to buy the Deluxe or Legendary or Ultimate or whatever edition of most games. Only complete edition rereleases or remasters generally contain all the dlc content for free at no additional cost years later. You’re better off just waiting for a sale on the Ultimate Edition if you want to save money on the game while getting it sooner. A completely separate topic is the NG+ dlc. I’m picking up the game but I totally get people who want to boycott it for that reason. Sega got away with it in the Last release, charging Japanese players buying Yakuza Like A Dragon extra to get NG+ as a dlc pack. We usually get delayed releases in the West though so by the time it made it over here the backlash had them remove it. Where it’s a simultaneous release here this time, I don’t expect them to backtrack, without having to refund people who already paid for it, but with enough outrage they may think twice for the next release. Although apparantly Japanese players were more than willing to pay for it anyway, which gave them the confidence to do it here. And it’s not a great trend. I’d expect this from EA or Ubisoft or even Sony in it’s current iteration. But Sega leading the charge here kind of sucks. As a massive Yakuza fan I just can’t wait for a complete edition or remaster next gen to play it. And Sega knows this unfortunately. I’m just buying the reg version though without NG+. The game is 70-80 hours for just the main story, nevermind the absurd amount of side content usually in these games, so I doubt I’d replay a 200 hour game again at anytime soon anyway. And these days even when free we dob’t get Ng+ in most games until 6 months out. It def hurts community goodwill. But they’ve given us so much quality content for 2 decades, I’m willing to give them a mulligan as long as it doesn’t become a trend.

[@moonpresence9707]

You'll never get it then, because none of the other ganes did that.

[@chisaten]

@@moonpresence9707 You're wrong. The previous game Y:LAD, released an ultimate edition that included all of the preorder content, and other games do that as well. There are other experiences as well. I paid $120 to preorder FFXV with a lot of bonuses, and a year later the Royal edition was released at $50 which included preorder content along with extras that were released after the initial game was released. I preordered Dragon Quest XI, then three months later it was discounted and (again!) included the preorder bonuses.

[@CAP-yi8wt]

The main game will take some 55-60 hours to be completed. Honestly I can’t see myself going for ng+ after that long. Infinite wealth is already stuffing more content that most games so even if a pretty scummy move from Sega I just can’t fault them that badly, I didn’t go for a ng+ for the first one either.

Im a fan of yakuza "like a Dragon" I played most of the games, I am just missing the 3 last games, but I am just staring to feel very bad for Young Yea. I have not played yet the Man who erased his face , or like a Dragon II, but I do think he did great in Lost Judment. Is just that the Kiryu's original actor's shoes, I'm very sure, are impossible to fill, and he's also a character that looks very complicated to act as, he's a character with a perpetually stoic appearance and tone, but is really actually emotional, and some of this emotion is still in his voice. He has a huge sense of wonder and is even childish, it's difficult even for the directors I bet convey this about the character in a balanced manner while maintaining the serious persona on Kiryu's at the surface.

No idea why he talks about the story requiring leaps of logic, or how the series isn’t about believable stories. The entire canon series is top tier realistic fiction, and the only “leaps of logic” are the in-universe characters making human mistakes or misunderstandings.

Kiryu is such an integral part of the series and based on the trailers he may or may not be reaching his end soon. You don't need to play the previous games given ichiban is gonna be mainly the protag (unless you didn't play 7) but I am sure they are gonna bring up how legendary Kiryu is and his background. You can play IW honestly and go back, so you get to see why Kiryu is hilariously strong and resilient

I'll enjoy the cut-scenes once they are up, but no way am I playing this game. If this is truly the last game with Kiryu, I have no idea why there are forcing OG fans to play this turn based. For me, Yakuza 1,2 (PS2/PS3 HD), 3-6 are the best games in the series I replay constantly. All these turn based games are not for me....they should of done a Gaiden 2.0 to finish the story with Kiryu if that is the plan. I don't think new fans care too much about Kiryu anyways...they are more interested in Ichiban.

[@theworld6710]

Umm, why? Tons of people are fine with turn based, and it allows them to easily implement Kiryu into the story.

[@DavidHosey1]

OG fans almost all love this style of game too, and almost all newcomers care more about Kiryu than Ichi. Don’t know what you’re on about lmaoo

[@AnimeTrap69]

​@@DavidHosey1he is acting like a majority of these 'og' fans hate turn based and the new fans cant play the beat em up games. I literally played through the whole series after i played lad to prep for iw

[@GeorgeGeo]

They still selling this shit. How many times do they think people are going to buy it.

[@trevindavis8890]

Series been around for about 20 years. So people buy it. And im one of those people.

[@DavidHosey1]

Forever. Top tier storytelling and fun will always be worth it, whether when it started back in 2005 or literally ever in the future

[@dontusemynameasshole]

I just wanna know if there’s anything comparable to the business management sim of the last game. I didn’t care for the pokemon thing aspect much
