Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. (2/25/25 - Xbox/PS5/Steam)

[Christian Lowe]

Unique spin to say the least. I love everything this studio does so I’ll go into it open minded, but there’s a lot about Majima that we don’t know in the story line that I’d have rather seen covered. Pretty much everything from 1990-2005 in the Yakuzaverse isn’t known with him. I also have wanted a remaster of Yakuza 3.

Either way, I’m excited. They’ve never let me down before.

Majima vs Pirates. Sign me up.... Definitely a unique twist to the series. I'm willing to give it a shot.... Another one based in Hawaii... I like it. A change of location was needed. Also,a Samoa Joe sighting towards the end! Sorry,my wrestling fandom taking over.

I'm glad there's a new one coming out. They've kept this series going strong for 20 years now. Hard to beleive.

Don’t know if you watched Tokyo Vice but the bad guy from that show is in this too. That got me excited. He was the best actor in the entire series.

Yeah, I've watched it a while back. I didn't notice that.

Looks like a great cast as usual.

I can't wait until the 21st. I'm digging the gameplay and everything you can do in this game.

His summary is basically what I tell everyone.. people who love the games will love all of them. If you don’t, though, it will be hard to get into.

Just got the platinum last night. Amazing work as always from RGG. Don't want to spoil anything, but ends up being pretty gut wrenching for longtime fans of the series- especially the post credits cutscene.

Didn’t know this game had a thread. Beat this a couple of weeks ago.

I really liked it gameplay wise, though it was way too easy, and only like 3 fights total gave me any real challenge, which was a shame. But the combat was really fun and almost as good as Lost Judgment's.

My main problem with this game was the story. Like….. what the hell was that, honestly? Nothing truly happened, and I really didn’t get invested in the characters beyond Jason and Fujita. antagonists were half baked and had so much wasted potential. I wasn’t expecting a Red Dead 2 tier story, obviously, but it was genuinely a nothing burger. Really disappointed in it, honestly, but it could’ve been worse.

Still really enjoyed it though. Honestly crazy to me that RGG is capable of releasing so many quality games every year, reminds me a lot of Rockstar’s run from 2001-2013. It’s remarkable. Really hope we get Judgment 3 next.
