The Great Filter. This is where new Yakuza fans either persist or die.

Game definitely has problems, but the worst in the series? Absolutely not.

It's an amazing title with a interesting story and big repercussions for the rest of the franchise, just, dodge enemy attacks and then punish the enemies, you'll thank me later

Do not listen to the fans who tell you to just blatantly skip this game.

Obviously, the combat and graphics are not as advanced as in the newer entries to the Yakuza series but it is a very enjoyable experience nonetheless. Especially the story is, although sometimes slow-paced, very well-written and features great characters.

i cant stop my infinite buss

This game improves on Yakuza: Like a Dragon in basically every conceivable way except for the story. But I'm going to let you in on a little secret: the story is almost always the weakest part of any Like a Dragon game. It just varies by how much.

To me RGGS is really good at character stuff. In this game specifically I mean stuff like Memoirs of a Dragon, Drink LInks, Table Talks, etc. I'm also referring to character development and relationships between the characters as part of the story (whether friendly or antagonistic). Where they almost always fall down is the driving plot that moves the game along. They are way too ambitious. Infinite Wealth is absolutely on the farther end of that scale and it suffers for it.

That said, I love this game just like I love every other game in this batshit crazy series. The combat flow is so much better in this game and that alone made it way more fun. I also never once felt like I had to go out of my way to grind levels like I did for that one fight in Yakuza: Like a Dragon (you know the one). I enjoyed exploring all three cities, there were tons of great moments in the substories, Bond Bingo was a fun mechanic, I could go on. That's the stuff that makes a Like a Dragon game and it still rules.

Interested to see where things go from here.

The best Yakuza game for Wii U

Early impressions on chapter 5: This game is far stronger narratively than any of the previous yakuza entries. I love my hobo family.

I'm not the biggest fan of JRPGS nor RPGS in general, but I liked this entry, the new protagonist is extremely likable and funny to watch, the story is extremely good and made me shed a few tears
