Like a Dragon creator talks about Sega “flat out rejecting” the first Yakuza game thinking it wouldn’t sell
I actually haven't played any of these games. Maybe I should give em a try.
I played Like a Dragon with no background and it was a great experience. Really wacky in a satisfying way. Only grievance is there is ~10 hours of cut scenes to beat the game.
I've only played Lost Judgment so far and it's awesome. It's kinda like a smaller GTA if GTA was an anime.
Have you played the original Judgement yet?
If you enjoy turn based rpgs, you really should give them a try. Infinite Wealth is especially good and you don't need to have played previous games to enjoy it. Not only do they do an amazing job of being funny or dramatic in all the right places, but there is such a wealth of content that you'll regularly get lost in side quests and minigames on your way to completing story tasks.
Infinite Wealth was a very fun game but it's honestly one of the worst stories they've written in the series with plot lines that were incoherent with the situation they've wrote themselves into. Not to mention the amount of time they spent on the Hawaii side of things having a very plain and unexciting wrap up. It's only redeeming points are all the numerous call backs to the earlier games which is lost if you don't play the earlier games.
I highly recommending playing in a modified release order.
There's also Ishin which is fine to play anytime since it's a spinoff but it casts characters from the main games to play historical characters so there's a neat bit of irony if you know who the characters are in the first place. So playing it after 7 would be the best time.
And then if you still want more, Judgment and Lost Judgment takes place in the same world and use the same brawler style gameplay but follows a detective instead.
Infinite wealth leans heavily on the history of the series. The brawlers are the better games especially lost judgment
