redpanda416: The west game devs are giving you what they want. The east devs are giving you what you want.

majimbo8528: This is what peak Japanese Imagination and cocaine looks like

faust_wither: this when dev said "bro we should add something" and they never stop adding.

KartenonYT: It took Ubisoft like 10 years to make Skull and Bones and they had AC Black Flag as a blueprint. Unreal.

Coconut-219: Its crazy the transformation of the Yakuza series from "cool but slightly smaller-budget series" to "we have so much money now we can basically do anything we want to"

CrimsonFIame: The Yakuza series is always a blast to play through. Highly recommend it

killjoy004: Someone tell baldy that Yakuza 8 had Pokemon with homeless people.

Edit: For those of you confused, the previous game, Yakuza 8 (Infinite Wealth), had a mini game where you could catch random people on the street/homeless people and make them fight others. There was a whole pokemon style gym battles storyline. The name of the minigame was Sujimon. Super fun.

There is a water-type gym where the leader is a hot chick who owns a swimming pool and her 'pokemon' basically are just her simps/white knights who fight for her lol.

TurtleChad1: "Ubisoft won't give us a good pirate game"

RGG- "hold my shake"

keeysOST: What's even funnier is that this game probably has a smaller budget yet is looking better than whatever Ubisoft did.

bonesaw7468: -"Guys i have an idea."

-"Don't tell us, just put it in the game!"

kueapel911: Okay, you might not gonna believe me, but let me tell you, this is a serious game about the decline of japanese criminal syndicate, trying their best to reform their way and rehabilitate the former members. I swear this is serious game.

Are we clear? Now where is my magical girl majima costume, I need to score the perfect score on 24 hour cinderella karaoke.

PetarBladeStrok: Yakuza series has always been peak. One of the best storytelling & gameplay in gaming.

michaelscotthawthorn7871: Game Director: Hey CEO, what features do you want?

CEO: all of them

Game Director: ?

CEO: ALL OF THEM !!!!

Wurmt0ngue: the first Quintuple A game

Auth_Hamilton: I've never seen someone look so surprised at a yakuza game, except for the pirates it's been like this for years.

xjudoflip7381: Love how there are flamethrowers, machine guns and laser cannons, yet you still dual wield swords as your main weapon. It looks crazy enough to work

loszhor: I like how this trailer focuses on gameplay and actual shows and explains it in detail.

stray1239: maybe the real Skull and Bones was the friends we made along the way

Mariodash23: Yakuza is that franchise where one minute you're working at a caberet where guys pay to hang out with hot chicks, then you could be doing a side quest for a child who wants a crane game toy, and then you could be outdoing a bunch of kids at pocket circuit racing.

This is all in one game btw, and I haven't even mentioned the chicken you unlock from a bowling side quest that can help you finance real estate!!

johnherrera5261: " Its like a game with a bunch of mods, but it's just the game" perfectly described like a dragon

LottieFlow-z6f: It's funny how he notes that everything seems like a mod.

Yakuza is essentially the developers taking what they've done before and piecing it back together. Anything and everything is on the table. You could see anything from four games ago or a deep cut from the beginning.

Truly a resourceful development studio.

brainrich1358: I think gamers have pretty much had their fill of "realistic games and realism" in video games. They just want games to be games again. Realistic games are fine but when every other game is going for realism, it becomes stale and predictable, and as of late, companies haven't even been getting the realism part correct either. They just want games to be fun

buddabudda: Giant sharks and parrots, boomerang swords, and magic ninjitsu clones

- cut to reality and what everone else sees

Majima screaming hysterically while hitting an unconscious man over and over with a baseball bat

zel2113: If anybody wondering, yes that is Hawaii. They are literally showing Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Chinatown. I'm so surprised how close they recreated it while avoiding copyright issues. Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Ala Moana Mall and River st/Chinatown.

EXMachina.: I swear that Yakuza series became a better mascot than Sonic games.

SaitanicTurkey: This IP has become the next generation Saints Row
