ninkendo 01/22/21 12:01:29 AM #57:	Top 10 Favorite Games of 2020 #4. Yakuza: Like a Dragon With Kiryu's arc ending in Yakuza 6 I was skeptical about them continuing the series with a brand new protagonist. Little did I know they would change it up completely to become a turn based RPG and give us the best main protagonist (and party!) of any game in recent memory. While Kiryu was a guy I think a lot of people would aspire to be as an ideal man, he's built up such a history that it's not a very realistic goal. Ichiban meanwhile instantly relatable. He's a bit naive of how the world works early on, but after the first 2 chapters his endless optimism begins to rub off on you and he feels like a friend you've known your whole life. The game itself still manages to feel like a Yakuza game despite the change to combat. You're still going around a big district running into various types of dirtbags (of which there's a pokedex for now) and beating them up, doing a bunch of wacky and goofy substories and then occasionally doing the actual story where the real serious events happen. The newer minigames this time include an entire business management sim where you raise a company's stock price to #1 in the region, a direct mario kart ripoff called Dragon Kart and going to vocational school to take exams to raise your personality traits The battle system itself is kinda basic, but it's trying to be like Dragon Quest so I can understand it. Honestly you can just put it on autobattle most of the time and it takes care of it, although if you're underleveled you might find them burning through your healing items instead of using healing magic. I'm usually not a fan of class systems, but turning classes into real life jobs you have like a chef or an enforcer or a hostess is a fun twist. It really only affects what weapon you equip and what skill you learn. Generally a character's starting class is their best one, but skills you learn and skill boosts you get from leveling them up are permanent so you're encouraged to learn a variety of classes for those bonuses I spent a good 50 hours with the game so far, but most of it was side content because I love doing side content in Yakuza games. I'm not to chapter 12 yet in the story, but I hear it's a banger so I'm looking forward to seeing it play out. --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:949776458] in SHINE's Fa...
