Yakuza: Like a Dragon coming to Steam
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
Waiting for the other games to come out on PC/Xbox. 6 isn't especially big but all the other games preceding it that need ports are massive. 6 will be quite a relic despite being so late in the story when it comes out. I wonder if they will replace Nagumo with another actor again. Everything is kinda going slow and the work is massive, ain't no rest for these guys.
IMO it does make sense to have this one day one with the western release, and then work on the back catalogue / Judgement. It's a new character and a great point of entry to the franchise, it has potential to do very well if it's released with the console version in the west.
It's very different in the main combat department,being all turned based jrpg combat versus the brawler type combat of all the other games. Story wise you will definitly get a good idea what the franchise is about though, and glimpses at the other main characters of the other games. Going backwards to see what Kiryu and Majima's and all the other guys' deal is should be entertaining if you choose to go for this game first.
YES!
I played through the whole series earlier this year, i'm so ready for this in glorious 4K 60fps. <3

The gameplay change is the reason I am mainly interested tbh. Really not fond of brawler-esque gameplay and that was always the turnoff on otherwise appealing packages.
It wouldn't be a lot of voice acting compared to the other games but then i'd want him to return for any future game. It would be pretty aces even for just this game.
Yessssssss. I've only played Yakuza 0 so far, but since I heard 7 was going turn based I've been looking forward to this. Of course gotta take it with a handful of salt, but I'm hyped if true.
Bringing in people like you was one of the reasons this game got made the way it is, and also the dev team getting bored with the same type of combat for a lot of games. Good stuff and whacky adventures mixed with japanese soap operas are abound no matter what. Feel free to check those other games out when you have the time, they aren't especially difficult on lower difficulties or any if you ask the hardcore fans, but going for PC gives you easy access on just plowing through content if you intend to. People have their hang-ups, i can't get good at the arcade games and many other minigames, but there's quite a lot of fun to be had.
I said this elsewhere. But I imagine the plan is to get the rest of Yakuza on steam soon (Yakuza 3-6 you could totally just drop as a surprise release). Then to have this and the PS4 version launch at the same time.
I'd imagine they really want to has Yakuza 7 as a new entry point for the series and to hopefully get new fans on-board:

God I will be there day one on PC if they do simul-launch. Was preparing to part ways with the franchise because there's no way I'm buying a PS5 after my PS4 was just a Yakuza machine, but if they start doing multi-platform releases day and date for the West I will continue to support this series at launch.
Man, I am surpised to have don't judgement yet. I loved it on PS4 but that game could really benefit from PC performance.
Just imagine a version of this in English:
Granted it'd be Namba singing it, but same song. I really hope the Karaoke gets dubbed, just to see how the heck it turns out.
Also, sticking with dub talk - since Adachi is voiced by Solid Snakes Japanese VA, I wonder if they could get Hayer for his English VA. It'd be a great little nod, but would bastardise Machine Gun Kiss though!
Well that's not surprising, but the question is whether it's going to be day one on PC along with the PS4 version. That has yet to happen with any of the Yakuza games, and I'd rather not double dip if there isn't going to be a long waiting period.
There's no reason people can't wait to play 7, they released 6 on PS4 without releasing 3-5 on PS4. Plenty of people own both a PS4 and PC and would buy a PC version day one.
User Warned: Port-begging
also port Persona 5 before porting Yakuza
We have 3 Yakuza games on Steam, but only 1 Atlus game
Or port Valkyria: Azure Revolution because reasons

Both rock, no need to just get one when I'd much rather get both localised. Ishin has amazing content, but has the weaker weapon stances in my opinion (gun kinda sucks to use in combat, no fun) meanwhile Kenzan gets both a solid single sword and dual sword load outs.Ishin has the better hand to hand combat though, more moves, a solid Tiger Drop and also a Tanimura style parry move. Ishin has amazing amounts of fanservice while Kenzan has a lesser amount of returning faces, but with really solid original characters. Majima is amazing in both.
Only concern with Kenzan is if they try remaking it with the new engine, I'm skeptical as to how well the old combat would work with that. I'd actually rather just get a remaster with a few QoL changes like improved FPS, resolution, elimination of load times for fights, no more fail/missable states for side stories etc.
I am among those people.
But if you have played only the games available on PC, being 0, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2, and then thought it would be a great idea to jump into Like A Dragon if it were made available next...narratively, you're in for a bad time.
Meh, they'll be fine and it's not like they won't include dual audio.
Unless SEGA is willing to shell out the money, nah unlikely, especially since Star Wars brought more attention to Hamill and he doesn't even remember the role.
It's a fresh story, and a brand new main character, but it still takes place in the same universe after the other games, so expect known characters to make a come back, and references to past events. It's not 100% disconnected like Judgement was.
