Yakuza / Like A Dragon |OT| That's Rad!

I think there are youtube videos that also go through the story of each game which can help people if they want to skip some of the collection, Y1, etc. However I do feel Y2 was very good and a game a person should experience in the series and same with 6.

Agreed, K2 was a really fun time. In case anybody here is daunted by the length of the series, almost all of them have story recaps, so youā€™re up to speed. It generally doesnā€™t matter too much though, and I think the real strength of the series is balancing straight dramatic plots (that are occasionally very stupid) with funny stupid substories (that are occasionally deadly serious).

Iā€™ve heard good things about the LAD dub, but I prefer subs in almost every situation.

I thought the story really fell apart at the end, but it was a fun ride. Glad you enjoyed it! 5 is a really big one, so prepare yourself!

5 is the biggest game in the series. People often call it the ā€œSan Andreasā€ of the Yakuza series because of how much content there is.

Always thought the long battles were the best parts of Yakuza games.

5 is my personal favorite, amazing game in all aspects

Pretty much, yeah. I would also suggest people to give Judgment a go, considering it is an entirely self-contained story. An absolute gem too.

The beginning of Yakuza 5 is really wholesome :slight_smile:

Should be joining Game Pass soon, no?

I guess. Maybe in 3-5 months. But I think it is worth the purchase anyway.
