SnB were supposed to be shelved, even the heads at ubisoft knew it wasn't salvageable. but Ubisoft SG got coddled hard by the government and paid ubisoft to let them continue it even though the people in charge there were incompetent, and indeed were monsters. this is surprisingly the one time ubisoft were sober enough to decide that they don't want a bad product from an anticipated spinoff, but got paid to push it out anyway

[@aerialdive]

@@bradcole2828 its moreos the fact that RGG just loves really insane and funny shit in their games - yakuza have always been pretty wacky, and majima is just a good vehicle for the spinoff adventures ichiban or kiryu might not have been able to do themselves bc majima is just batshit insane to cope

Every person involved in the design, gameplay, options, features, party members, concepts, insane combat changes, mini-games, title, story, marketing and this direct for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii are certified geniuses. This game should sell a trillion copies.

[@RokkieSparrow]

@@purelysmetalnightcore why not get a disc drive?

[@purelysmetalnightcore]

@RokkieSparrow Short answer is because I'm cheap lol. I bought my PS5 very recently and pretty much only to play Astro Bot, so I opted for the cheapest one I could find, which was a pre-owned one without a disc drive. Even though I could get most of my money back if I were to resell it, I don't think it's worth it to buy one with a disc drive for me. There isn't much available that I'm interested in that I haven't already played or have in my Steam backlog (because those sales are too good to ignore).

Well, from the trailer for this Direct alone, we can see a lot of stuff that wasn't present up until now: - The scale that we fight in a massive battle might not be fewer than 30 (Like A Dragon Gaiden has this too, so it seems to be a tradition to any Gaiden games now) - In Naval Battle, you can change your camera position (On deck or above the ship). Also, you can drift while shooting, and while not stirring the ship you can also use the weapon on board which consists of a Flamethrower and a Minigun - A sneak peak to a QTE for that one battle on the pirate ship, this might happen before Majima set sail to become the King Of The Pirate -> Conclusion? I will not be surprised if they have a reference to Skulls & Bones somewhere in this game. I'm so hyped up right now, it got me some real blue balls :)

I am a late bloomer when it comes to Yakuza. I just started playing the games in November after owning Yakuza 0 for years and not playing it. I deeply regret waiting so long. I've been playing through each game, and I've made all the way to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which I am nearly finished with. I actually ended up playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name before Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which I regret in hindsight because it spoiled big parts of the story. I'm going to buy Infinite Wealth right after this, but I am soooooo excited to play as Majima again. There wasn't a very big opportunity to play as him in Kiwami 2, only about an hour's worth of gameplay. If they nailed the combat here like they did in Gaiden then this should another 10/10 experience. I'm gonna dump my bank account into RGG and Sega's pockets now.
