Like A Dragon: Ishin!

[herb]

Anyone else playing this? It comes out physically this Tues but digitally was able to be played since the 17th. It's a remaster of an older ps3/4 game from the Yakuza devs. A yakuza styled game set in 1860's japan. It's everything I've ever wanted in a game.

Trailer for those interested:

I'm pretty excited for it, it looks like an awesome update and the original game is unplayable unless you known Japanese. Probably won't pick it up anytime soon though, I still haven't finished LAD lol.

I honestly dropped LAD as it's way too grindy(even tho I understand that's only because of Ichiban, still makes it a drag).

Ishin is easily my GOTY, you'll love it.

Was this Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! for PS3 originally?

Nah that was a different one. This was originally Ishin on ps3 and ps4. Sadly we'll probably never get Kenzan

sounds awesome

Maybe I'll scoop this up.

Does it have all the silly side missions like the regular Yakuza game?

I mean, that's the only reason I play the series is for the side missions.

It does. It also has gambling on chicken races

Runs beautifully on Steam Deck. Handheld Yakuza ftw I think.

yeah

Wish it was on the Switch for this exact reason.

Don't feel like getting a Steam Deck.

Nintendo could finally release a Switch 2 that ran mid-range Steam Deck and they'd print money. More money I suppose I should say.

I used to be on a huge Yakuza phase, but that was on the PS3 days... got plat to 3, 4, 5 and then 6 and 0 on the PS4. I think I played them way too much because after 6 I just dropped the franchise and never looked back, I even have Judgment sealed somewhere.

Maybe Ishin will be novel enough to rekindle my interest in the series.

I need to pick this up. And then proceed to forget to play it for a year

Just picked up a copy recently. Been waiting for them to release this in the west for so long.

I played 0, Kiwami 1 and 2, 3 and eh whatever I just can't do it anymore either.

I tried stumbling through it back in the day in Japanese on PS3. It was not an easy time

Yeah, those text heavy games are never easy to blindly go through. I tried doing that with Der Langrisser FX and only got about 1/3 through it
