  • Howdy everyone, and today we are ranking the spinoffs in the Like A Dragon/Yakuza franchise. So I am not looking at any of the numbered titles here. I am also only looking at the games released officially in English. I am looking at Like A Dragon Gaiden though! Enjoy!

    Like a Dragon Gaiden may have a recognized "official" playthrough time of 9-10 hours, but if somebody heavily invests in the Akame Network and the Coliseum then the final time will probably be somewhere between 17-20 hours.

    Judgment was my first dive into the franchise. One of the rare times where I played a game from start to finish without dropping it. Gaiden was the second title that I did that with. Now I’m binge playing Lost Judgment and Ishin now that I’m in the mindset to complete them.

      Same. I've already clocked well over 50 hours, and I find the sidequest much more engaging than those in the mainline Yakuza games. It's probably because Yagami is so likeable that you just want to spend more time as him as possible.

      I actually like all the games I listed, but Lost Judgment was peak gaming ( I loved the Kaito Files) for the spin-off category.
      My personal gripe with Gaiden is the story length, I just wish it was a bit longer, like 1 or 2 more chapters, but overall experience is AMAZING!
      Judgment is a solid experience and welcoming one, too. I had a few glaring issues, but it's hella solid.
      Ishin is great. I didn't mind the trooper cards. I'm glad it came to the west. I eventually started slowly loving the game.
      Fist of the Northstar is surprisingly my introduction to the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise. It may be the lowest on the spin-off rank, but I still loved it.

    Dead souls is a pretty fun game with how it's just mostly long battles instead of boss fights. Song like Cry..., Return to Nothingess, The Long Battle, both Octopus and Hayashi themes are great. Fotns also has a crazy deep combat system. You can do back combos, juggle goons and bosses and continue juggles after enemies bouncing off of walls. Both these games and also Kenzan are way more fun than Ishin. The grind in (K)Ishin is much worse in than fotns because you can be max level halfway into ng+, while in (K)Ishin you have to grind so many hours for exp for materials. Honestly Kiwami Ishin is the worst spin-off, the original has a much appealing combat and visual design. Especially a lesser grind. I find the original Ishin one of the better RGG games, but not as good as Kenzan.

I started Judgment last week but haven't gotten the itch to boot it up again. I think now that I'm playing a title with the same formula but a whole new cast of characters unrelated to the rest of the series, my brain is starting to feel burnt out lol.

      You could play Ishin next as it's more related story wise its set in the Edo period. The new LAD games are turn based, so I would say play 0 before that. 0 is probably the best in the series. 0-6 would be your best bet. Then the 2 Judgment games. After that you can go turn based with 7 and 8 if that's your thing. Personally I enjoyed these games being brawlers which is a very rare genre these days.

    Fist of the Northstar was the best game of 2018 for me easily. The anime is great ,at least the first storyline and the gameplay was good enough that I actually got the Platinum for it. That rhythm was tough as well. It's funny because I liked the club stuff here but hated it in Yakuza 0. I loved all the RPG stuff and have always thought the Yakuza games were always RPGs anyhow. In a lot of ways I think its better than the other spin offs but I've liked FOTNS since that late 80's.

    • @ninjanizzle
      @ninjanizzle 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      FOTN wasn't better of even equal to God Of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, or Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018. I beat all 4 and enjoyed all 4, but FOTN just ain't up there like that. I'd say Assassin's Creed Odyssey was also far superior. Also the Club thing in FOTN was like a poor mans version of the one from 0 and Kiwami 2 LOL. When I saw that was there I was actually hoping they copy and pasted the 0 1 over. Like you I've been a fan of FOTN for decades, way back to the early 90's I think when we got the OVA. I still need to go back and watch through the entire anime to get the full story, do you remember the live action movie?😂

    My take on your Judgment opinions:
    1. It is fair to not liking the detective but man this is game you play as a DETECTIVE so you should expect to have some aspect of it. I personally hate Judgment's stealth tailing missions but love the observation aspect of gameplay and other stuff in the series.
    2. I do agree on Judgment having a better story on majority than LJ for it is a personal journey of Yagami but the difference at least LJ in focus in the story unlike Judgment that has side cases mixed in the main
    3. I disagree calling Kuwana a "weak" character and it is a direct polar oppsite of Yagami. My take is Kuroiwa is the better villain but Kuwana is the better antagonist in the Judgment games

      K1 and 2 were both good, but K1 was ruined with the Majima Everywhere system. You should've had the option of switching it off, as it becomes an irritant and obstacle to exploring freely as you could in the original.

      I'll be honest, I'm on the other end of the spectrum: Like a Dragon is a cool and fitting name for the franchise, considering that it's no longer going to focus on Yakuza and its activities. The franchise is moving on, which is something so few companies with recognisable IP names are willing to do. I respect that.

      Like a dragon is actually what the series was always called in Japan. Yakuza was just the name lost in translation for the west.
      IMO it makes a lot more sense to call it that because you don’t even play as yakuza for most of the games.

    Man, I did not enjoy Ishin. I could not remember any character's name from the story besides Ryoma and I found the story to be uninteresting with lots of bloat dialogue. All the substories I did were all shit mmo fetch quest design so I stopped doing them (some of the substories were alright but the fetch quests were a huge turnoff). The game also forces substories onto you by placing them on routes to your next main scenario objective. It was also clear that the wild dancer style was the best style in the game alongside with Swordsman style. I saw no point of Gunman or brawler. Also I believe they should have never added the card system, it was unnecessary and I felt like I never needed to use it and whenever I did, it just ruined the immersion of being in that period of Japan. Lastly, this game feels far from a current gen title compared to other Yakuza current gen games. It had no infinite sprint, fast travel was annoying and the taxi guy was so far away from Terada. I always had to make that tedious 1 minute sprint to the taxi guy to fast travel to the barracks.
    My personal top 4 spin-off are:
    1. Lost Judgement - In my opinion, the best gameplay and Kuwuna was a good villain.
    2. Judgement - Gameplay was slower than L Judgement but I liked the story more.
    3. Gaiden - Not done playing it but I enjoy it way more than Ishin and gameplay feels like Lost Judgement.
    4. Ishin

      Ishin:Whenever you want. Ishin takes place in edo period japan with samurai so you don't need to worry about missing out on the story.
      Gameplay wise it's pretty fun,the combat is smooth and feels nice to play,but the time it takes to get into a fight when it starts takes ages even on ps5. Grind is also pretty insane.
      Gaiden:Play Gaiden after you've watched the series recaps. It's about kiryu,the guy you play as in the rest of the series.
      Judgement:Probably the best choice because they are some of the best games in the series with great stories that don't really tie into the main series and super fun gameplay

Combat was fun for the first half or so but the later sections of the game felt like an absolute slog with high health enemies, enemies with high damaging attacks - sometimes even instant kill attacks (I played on hard). I get the game probably wanted to me to grind out the blacksmith and do more battle dungeons but I just wasn't having fun doing those so I didn't which made the game tedious.
