Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

This game is incredibly fun and entertaining! I'm amazed that a pirate game can be this fun. I assembled a team of beautiful women and all sorts of quirky characters to search for treasure across the land. The protagonist's fighting moves are bizarre and funny, coupled with the hilarious storyline, making it incredibly comedic! The naval battles are simple to control but very enjoyable. If the game's lighting effects are too strong during gameplay, you might need to adjust the HDR lighting settings, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to watch.

At some point, doing the same thing over and over is gonna get boring... and the latest yakuza games are doing the same thing over and over... again.

Gloriously Unhinged. I've never had so much fun taking pictures of old men with glowing crotches. You get to kidnap a child AND his dad. Goro Majima is such a talented musician. He's on some straight up "Devil Went Down to Georgia" timing. This game also features Mario Kart: Detroit. My least favorite part is no gambling on who has the fastest ♥♥♥♥.

So time consuming. They already had the unskippable intro, then some genius added an unskippable menu and an unskippable ship fast travel. These are systems that should take seconds, yet you’re waiting at them far longer than necessary. To the actual review: the game starts real slow, only really picking up around Chapter 3, when the story finally becomes engaging. Once it gets going, though, it is a joyride. The land combat is fun in both styles, the ship combat is where things feel a bit underwhelming. There’s definitely potential there, and I found myself wanting more of it but in its current form it is shallow and becomes repetitive. It’s an area that I would love to see refined in a future installment. While at its core it was supposed to be an asset reuse, I think it adds on enough value to be a great entry in the series. Anyways, I was already sold at Majima dress-up, wish it had more room for outfits and no restriction between Mad-Dog and Sea-Dog.

作为外传整体还行。 ● 主线剧情上比较一般，跟本篇也有一些些关联。结尾的时候说明了这个故事的由来，原来是[spoiler] 想找长生不老药治好桐生 [/spoiler]，我草，要哭了.jpg ● 战斗方面，只能说，不是回合制真爽！ ● 支线方面，最后那个联谊的支线[strike] 挺大的 [/strike] 挺有趣的。

海战系统作为核心做的相当烂，可投入资源的部分不少，最后发现在狂热兰蒂斯一样是三流战力（professional难度下）。 高难度下敌人的往水面撒爆炸桶、反舰导弹之类的东西你一个都没有，你只有两门射击角度并不宽的侧炮（且激光炮明显最优解，其他武器毫无存在必要）和刮痧的机枪，然后敌人是三五成群的围殴你，你却始终只有一条海盗船。 且不论高度重复也没什么特色海战总是重复出现，被诅咒的乐器流程整个就是纯粹的堆数值环节。 海盗游戏里面海战这个环节明明应该花大力气的，做得却是敷衍了事，或者说就是刻意堆高难度，逼你买鸡肋的dlc。

I have had a lot of fun with this game, but I strongly recommend playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth first if you want to get the most out of the storylines and character interactions. The bigger emphasis is definitely on Infinite Wealth - but if you like one of these games, you are fairly likely to enjoy them all. I had dismissed this series as something I likely wouldn't be interested in but am glad to say it has developed into one of my all-time favorites. It's off-the-wall zany at times and dead serious at others, and I enjoy that juxtaposition. This game has crashed on me 3-4 times. I don't recall that ever happening with the previous two entries in the series, which I played in the past year. Autosave functions pretty well - though it is still advisable to save often. It hasn't been often enough to the point of turning me off the game, but it is definitely worth mentioning. Very much a "your mileage may vary" kinda thing.
