Like a Dragon/Yakuza Ranked

Thank goodness this side series will still be a thing for years to come. I feel like this game and the last are an interesting deviation from the main series that also compliments it, yet it just outclasses the main games in almost every single way. Even if I’m not too into the direction the main series is going, I always have the judgment games to come back to and I can still say I’m a yakuza fan lol

Love this game and its cast to pieces but why mortal wounds? Why waste my time with this? Still love this game down.

It has breakdancing majima that is actually a viable fighting style against bosses. What do you mean I can’t give it 4 and a half stars?

Weirdly nationalistic third act aside, it’s good fun but calling this a remake is bogus. Also feel like the fandom hyped this game up when it wasn’t available in the west and now everyone acts like it’s just a whatever game now. Always has been lol

Yakuza was already a soap opera-y jrpg game series but this is ridiculous. Feel like I’d love this game more if I didn’t bang my head when it came to the combat and bosses. Hope LaD8 fixes this.

Yeah this is unpopular but I like the cast and some of the story a lot despite the rushed nature. Gameplay stinky though. A remake announcement of this would kill me.

Finale is almost peak, everything else after Saejima is introduced is severely bad that I may experience this against some point just to feel the soul leave my body and dance around.

70% of this game is boring as hell, but man the last third is so great. Awkward ending for Kiryu since he’s still active and Haru deserved so much better coming off the last game.

It's cool. Majima Everywhere is the only thing I remember from it and like. Don’t ask me about the story or terrible final boss reveal.

So forgettable. Ryuji is hot though but damn the combat sucks here. Feel like I’m playing sandbox in gmod sometimes.

Kiryu section is peak, everything else is annoying and stinky. Why you make Saejima actually hot but make his section so god awful I almost quit the game. Why does the fan base hype this game up so bad?
