I said I was going to finish before I played . Turns out I’m a big fat liar who does not keep their word. The moment I was offered a code, I snapped it up and started playing immediately. It’s a huge game, and I haven’t come close to finishing it or unlocking every game mode – I haven’t even managed to get to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dondoko Island, if you can believe it – but I&r⛄squo;m not here to talk about what’s in the game. I’m here to tell you that there’s still time🦹 before the game releases, and you shouldn’t make the same mistake I did. Play Yakuza: Like A Dragon first. Hell, play too. Trust me.
That’s what I said I was going to do, and what I should have done. The Like A Dragon series is an odyssey of sorts. Every main story installment feeds into a single cohesive plot throughline, following Kazuma Kiryu’s long, complicated life and keeping him on as a supporting character, even when the series pivots to focus on its new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga. Being the point where a new protagonist is introduced, Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a viable entry point to theꦺ series, and it’s a direct prequel to Infinite Wealth. If you go into Infinite Wealth not knowing what’s happened in the game before it, you’re going to be confused.
The first chapter of Infinite Wealth helps to catch you up a little on what happened in the previous game, but definitely not to the extent that you’re going to understand all the narrative context. I played a few chapters of the preceding game, and I was still very lost. Some characters were familiar, but many were not, and very 𓆉often, I had no idea what was going on, who was talking, and what on earth they were talking about. I still have no idea why Kasuga and Kiryu are buddies, because I didn’t get that far in the previous game. A lot of things in Infinite Wealth are flying over my head, and I know it didn’t have to be this way.
A small relief is that Honolulu is mostly a blank slate. While chapter one is a lot of contextualisation and bu🍃ild-up, eventually, we see what happens in the trailer – Kasuga makes it to Hawaii. Good for him, I say, and good for us who aren’t caught up with the series, because Honolulu loses a lot of the background characters we’re expected to know. After all, Kasuga doesn’t know anybody here, so the char🌺acters we meet are fresh. It doesn’t matter what happened in the previous game, because those characters, mostly, aren’t here.
Characters from the last game might re-appear later in I﷽nfinite Wealthജ, in which case I’ll be confused again. I don’t know if that happens or not, I haven’t finished it yet.
There’s plenty to love about the game, even if you haven’t played what came before, but know that you are going to be scratching your head a lot. There’s still over a week before Infinite W💝ealth releases – that&rs✨quo;s probably enough time to finish Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Like A Dragon Gaiden if you really, really buckle down. If not, I guess you could just watch a story summary on YouTube or something. Trust me, it’s better than nothing. Infinite Wealth tells a great story, so don’t disadvantage yourself by not knowing what happened right before it.
I Don't Think I'll Ever Go Back To Non-Turn Based Yakuza Again
Auto-battle in turn𝄹-based combat is the best thing for a ⛦lazy dude like me
