Finished Infinite wealth last night. Game was amazing.The kiryu stuff completely sucked me in and was my favorite part of the game. Having only played that and like a dragon, I bought 0,1 and 2 as well after finishing. Can’t wait to play through those.

Zero is tremendous but I also like 1 and 2. The series kinda has diminishing returns like a lot of TV shows over the years, and Yakuza 3 - 6 are kinda more and more for diehard fans only.

Been playing Infinite Wealth lately and it is great. I like the intro music at the beginning but I can't find any info on it at all. Wondering if anyone here knows the name of the song.
It starts at the 11 second mark and ends at about 30 seconds.

Dunno the name or artist but it is the RGG Studio theme. They put it in front of other games too.

Found it.


They do a bunch of electro-western songs, good stuff.

finished my playthrough at just around 80 hours. Loved the game but
was a bit disappointed by the ending outside of getting some closure on the stupidity between saeko and ichiban. I fully expected Kiryu to die at the end and not casually of old age and as a family man despite him deciding he really does want to live over the entire story. I think i just had some boner for him to sacrifice himself somehow to save Ichiban at the end but that's pretty cliche.

NG+ on hard makes the exp/job exp you get like 20x more which is nice, so getting past ~55ish doesnt feel awful like it does on Normal

Looks like LAD:IW is on sale for 20-25% off for the next day if people were waiting for a slight price drop.

About time Goro got his own game. Playing as him in like 40% of Yakuza Zero was easily the most fun I had in the entire Yakuza series.

My boy Samoa Joe is in this game, think he's a boss.

Trailer seems serious. Wonder how much of the goofy stuff from the games will be in the show.

Been hooked on Like a Dragon Ishin lately. Love it for what it is, easily one of the best samurai games I have played. Definitely more my style compared to Ghost of Sushi.

playing Ishin (set in 1800s) now, pretty fun. i'll play infinite wealth this winter and then get around to pirate yakuza next year, by which time there will probably be 3 new yakuza games

this game will be more japanese than the new assassins creed game

LAD: Infinite Wealth is legitimately the best RPG I've played in years, probably since Dragon Quest 11, unless we're counting Fromsoft games. Traditional RPGs though? Yeah, LADIW is basically king shit of the modern era. Highly recommend that game.

This pirate game looks good, and it's probably an excuse for them to get more use out of all the Hawaii assets they made for LADIW, along with getting more mileage out of Goro's fighting style (which was only featured in one other Yakuza game and was super well-liked).

Dammit, I'm going to have to make time that I don't have to check this one out.
