Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza is in Hawaii an over-the-top, modern-day pirate adventure with an ex-yakuza, now pirate captain & his crew.

Gameplay Captured on PlayStation 5

Seeing that familar beach really makes this feel like an addon to the last Yakuza rather than its own thing.

This looks like fun but $59.99 isnt happening on my end. Once it’s down to like $39.99 I’ll bite. Never played a Yakuza or Judgement game I haven’t enjoyed but if this is like the Kiryu stand alone then it’s a Gaiden game.

Familiar settings is so not Yakuza.

 

[Nankatsu]

Yeah, I'm out.

Ahhh, this is your second Yakuza game I see, very nice.

As much as I'm looking forward to Majima in Pirateland this series is just releasing way too frequently now, I need 2-3 years break between entries. Plus it's coming out in a stacked Q1 so I'll probably pick it up in late 2025/early 2026.

Will pass one this one. I've never enjoyed the Yakuza side games. But I'll be there day 1 for the next main game.

Hmm Im about to finish judgment and I can either jump in lost judgment or wait and go with this. Tough decision.

 

[Dorfdad]

I could never get into these game tried a few but they all just seem over the top silly. I get that’s what they are but it just didn’t resonate with my limited gaming time as a worthy addition. This looks even more silly

These games tend to drop in price pretty quickly from what I've seen.

I enjoyed 'Man Who Erased His Name' last year and I finished it (15 -20 hours). It's the only one I finished (have 0,6,7, Infinite) and really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed 'Man Who Erased His Name'

it's sequel to Yakuza 6, for real it's more like Yakuza 6.5

 

[mdkirby]

I’ll maybe play it, I mostly just want a new judgment tho …none of the others interest me that much

I played Man who Erased His Name and loved it.

By spin-offs I meant the stuff that is just goofy side adventures like this.

 

[bender]

Amateurs!

 

[begotten]

I haven't been able to keep up with all the LAD shit but I'll be playing this because it looks fun and ridiculous.

 

[poodaddy]

As with all things Yakuza, I'm there. Thank Christ for going back to the action based combat, and I see they gave Majima some new moves. Much needed honestly as his mad dog fighting style, while fun, just always seemed slightly underpowered when playable for some reason.

 

[semiconscious]

i enjoyed dead souls, & i love majima, but this is just a bridge too far, personally...

 

[RavageX]

They are about to fully jump the shark folks. I love the series but I think they need to move on from the original characters since the head guy left to do his own new thing (new studio?).

I did not like it. Story wise it was just fine. Rocket shoes or whatever that other stuff was...no.

I think i'd get burnt out on yakuza-esque games though. I played like a dragon and infinite wealth was an option but it was just too much.
