Like what you see? Pre-Order the game here! - gsght.com/c/xws9td its fun to click the link so click it Hey so how about something VERY different! Sega was kind enough to invite me to come over and take in a preview of the latest Yakuza game, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii! Your favourite RGG Studio influencer is at it again I guess! TL;DR its all the yakuza madness you've come to love and expect, the pirate/naval aspect is very well done, combat is the most interesting its been to date, and its a very worthwhile addition to the series. Everything presented to me makes it feel like the game is very much another "jumping in point" for the series, as the Majima plot is not tied to infinite wealth(at least not directly) and he starts with amnesia so its basically a blank slate, so if you are in the mood for just a plain ol' pirate game I think it works well as that too!
"Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii" is a combination of words that have never even been uttered together in human history and I'm glad I was born in this era to witness them
@@CarbyGuuGuu Tricky wasn't at the event I was at I'll say at least. Considering how incredibly high production it was overall there was shockingly few people(at least to me)
Yes little bit of Virtua Fighter jokes at the start, but there actually is no VF6 to talk about... yet anyways. Game still early on! Til then sail the seas and try to take on the satan shark to make Jeffry's life easier
Absolutely love you covering some stuff outside of fighting games. You're my go to guy for them, but I simply enjoy your presentation style a lot, so having you cover something like this is actually super cool, especially since I'm really looking forward to the game. Keep it up Roofle. and much love!
thanks for the kind words. Yeah very different for me to say the least but who knows maybe every now and then something like this could pop up again in the future
This is a pleasant surprise! I love the Yakuza series and Majima is my favorite character, so this game was already catering to me, along with the fact that its gonna have the usual Yakuza combat with JUGGLE combos now like WHAAAT?! I'm hyped to the end and back for this game.
I did not know this game was going to be closer to a character action game than a beat 'em up or rpg. I think this video just made me decide to buy this....
Like its still very much a Yakuza game so I don't wanna misrepresent it there, but the actual combat is now getting closer to a character action style with much more aerial aspects.
Our favorite pillar of the Yakoozer community back with another gem. I finally started Infinite Wealth about a week ago and it's great. Hope to finish it in time to have a refreshing break before this.
Not who I expected to see something like this from, but Rooflemonger taking up Gamespot type of reviews and whatnot is a combo I want more of. Let him be the FIRST to touch vf6!!!!
I'm more ezcited for this than I was the Kiryu gaiden game. I'm having a blast with Dynasty Warriors Origins, sounds like we'll have some musou segments. Throwing his dual blades looks alot like the Sun Shang Xiang Chakram throwing animation. Finally excited for the Devil May Cry style combat.
Seems to me like Sega and RGG studios recognizes your love and desire to support Virtua Fighter and decided to have you help with this game too. I need to go pick up a Yakuza game eventually. Hope something like this can continue once VF6 actually comes out!
this game looks like a lot of fun! I played Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon this past year and had a blast! I don't have Infinite Wealth, but it's on my radar!
As someone who loves the series I wasn't very hyped for this game until the previews hit. Ramping up the silliness even more feels like it could hurt the awesome melodrama and gangster power struggles, but man I just love what I'm seeing of the combat.
Well Majima in his current day form(as opposed to yakuza 0) isn't really the melodrama guy anymore. That said who knows, the details on the plot were very very light, but given you know... pirates... I gotta assume its erring towards the absurd
@@Rooflemonger Thanks for the answer - I can wait wait for the game's launch relieved. Seems like this new spin-off AND Virtua Fighter are in good hands!
its a crazy life. Like I got snubbed for the Terry press event cause capcom japan is mad that I make videos that are TOO informative instead of bland hype, and even changed the NDA's so you can't make vids like I do. This whole industry is weird.
The customisation in this looks awesome, gaiden had great customisatiom too but this is another level, creating the most absurd looking ship imagineable is gonna be sweet and bonkers, also pirate baseball..........SOLD feb get here faster
well theres only uhhhhh 7 more games to get through after that one til you get to this one lol. That said though this one very much is presented as a "standalone"
I'll definitely play this though I wish that they also remastered Kenzan as it was first Yakuza game on PS3 and it had unique moves for Dual Swords that wasn't reused and sword moves had some extenctions that modern Kiryu didn't have in 3, 4 and 5. Plus there were some unique minigames.
They invited rooflemonger to do this to distract him from the holy truth of VF6 ‘Heeeey look over heeeeere at the cool pirate game’ meanwhile they wheel a tv with VF6 on it behind him and out of sight /j this is cool
I wonder how many games exist, where, at the beginning of the game, you are lying stranded at a beach with amnesia.^^ But beside that, i think, that this game will be great fun, something like Black Flag on drugs.
Yo Roofle this was unexpectedly sick of ya to cover, great high quality overview! I hope you can answer this crucial question: how many seconds were you able to aerial juggle combo enemies? RGG’s previous Gaiden game sadly limited players to a 6 second maximum juggle, which was a HUGE downgrade from the combo possibilities in their best action game to date (unless this dethrones it) Lost Judgment My only worry with this new RGG action game is another foolish combo limiter, especially when the combat design is more conceptually stylish character action inspired than LJ, considering all the weapons and aerial focus (also wow practically ARPG summons!)
well I didn't have enough time to go hyper in depth cause our preview was broken up into segments. I don't think you can keep someone in the air for 30 seconds like some vergil combo but the aerial aspect is very much a planned part of the game now.
@ Yeah totally understand with these preview events covering so much Guess I’ll temper my expectations on doing Pirate May Cry Aerial Rave hijinks… tho at least a lot of your footage still looked even more INSANE than what was already expected from the recent trailers haha Anyway, hopefully we all will be seeing Majima as a guest in VF6, plus prominent FGC folks like yourself and many others at the next inevitable Sega/RGG previews!! Thanks again Roof much appreciated!
It looks amazing, but your video didn't adress the most important question about any Like A Dragon/Yakuza game: DOES IT HAVE POCKET CIRCUIT RACING?!?! (I just really love it, okay?)
@ Well ... shit. But everything looks great otherwise. Pocket Circuit Racing is just very dear to me. Like all minigames in this series, WAY better than it needs to be.
Like what you see? Pre-Order the game here! - gsght.com/c/xws9td its fun to click the link so click it

Sega is rewarding Virtua Fighter's most loyal soldier 😂
Who can say if they even knew I liked VF, its a mystery
I’m betting Tricky got to play, as well.
Hope she uploads her preview.
@@CarbyGuuGuu Tricky wasn't at the event I was at I'll say at least. Considering how incredibly high production it was overall there was shockingly few people(at least to me)
The irony that this is closer to a "quadruple A" game than Skull and Bones because it is multiple "triple A" games in one lol.
Also RGG acc cares about quality lol
this just concretizes how good you are at doing this sort of overview video, great job!!
The Game Industry fears a rooflemonger that expands outside of fighting games
Yes little bit of Virtua Fighter jokes at the start, but there actually is no VF6 to talk about... yet anyways. Game still early on! Til then sail the seas and try to take on the satan shark to make Jeffry's life easier

Sega: We can't give you VF6 roofle....but we can make you a pirate.
This channel just keeps getting better, FGC AND Yakuza content? Splendid.
This is my first strictly not FG related video in many years lol, it was kinda scary to put up
@@Rooflemonger Your video format definitely worked really well for this I'm always excited for a Rooflemonger video
Majima will no doubt be Jeffrey's greatest ally in the battle against the evil Satan Shark.
damn, not a game I would've expected for you to ever get a preview to, but I'm hyped!
Jeffrey McWild substory where you have to hunt the satan shark would easily print money for sega
Roofle playing this for preparation, because Majima is going to appear in VF.
Majima looking like he is ready for Tekken 8, pet companion, transformation that will be Heat, supers and aerial combo
I think you will find he's looking like he's ready for virtua fighter 🤔
8:26 "Her Majesty's Royal Navy" is something I would have never expected Roofle to ever say 😂 you're the GOAT bro
Im so dang excited for this game and am so happy youre the person bring the early review!!! Worlds colide!
The goat making ng content about the next goty, what a time.
This was fun. The Yakuza games are always fun & this wqs a welcome surprise for sure 😁
Samoa Joe is in this game, which makes it an automatic 10/10
AND HE RETURNED LAST NIGHT LETS GOOOOOOO
Lord Roofle shilling for the greatest series of all time?!? Couldn’t be happier!!!!
4:44 gotta love that basic Yakuza way of naming enemy mobs. Made me burst out laughing lol.
This is a pleasant surprise! I love the Yakuza series and Majima is my favorite character, so this game was already catering to me, along with the fact that its gonna have the usual Yakuza combat with JUGGLE combos now like WHAAAT?! I'm hyped to the end and back for this game.

Like its still very much a Yakuza game so I don't wanna misrepresent it there, but the actual combat is now getting closer to a character action style with much more aerial aspects.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
3:23
That guy just got a pair of blades thrown at his direction, dragged by a chain to receive a gunshot to the face all for a dollar.
its a rough economy these days
Now they have to invite you for VF6 preview event
Alright, Sega, don't forget about Roofle when you have a preview event for VF6. He's the most loyal of loyal soldiers for VF.
This game looks fantastic and I cannot wait to pirate it up on the high seas Like a Dragon Style
One of my favorite games in Ass Creed Black Flag and this looks like all of that and more, I can't wait!
I'm definitely looking forward to getting this!
Our favorite pillar of the Yakoozer community back with another gem. I finally started Infinite Wealth about a week ago and it's great. Hope to finish it in time to have a refreshing break before this.
Per usual, Roofle the paragon in video game reporting
I genuinely think that Yakuza is the greatest game series ever made. There is SO much to do in every single one.
ROOFLEMONGER UPLOADING YAKUZA VIDEO
BANGER
You had me at ‘plasma cannons’.
Like a Dragonge - Piratege Yakuzage in Hawaiige
We lived to witness mainline rgg hack and slash
Okay, I am enjoying this one. This is nice
The fact that I can play ocean hunter in the arcade alone is a big selling point for me.
The minimap have the same shape as majima eyepatch Nice detail !
A yakuza vid from Roofl?? Wonderful
As a massive yakuza and fgc fan it’s a s if the best of both worlds are combined into this video
VF 3 comes with a pirate themed Like a Dragon game starring the lovable Majima?? Sign me up!
Not who I expected to see something like this from, but Rooflemonger taking up Gamespot type of reviews and whatnot is a combo I want more of. Let him be the FIRST to touch vf6!!!!
This game looks so fun. Cant wait.
This video is a welcome surprise, good stuff.
Good to see a pirate game like this that isn't a butchered Ubisoft mess.
You deserve it roof!
Finally a Majima game after all these years.
Well there is Yakuza 0! Thats sorta a good one
Unexpected but I do actually wanna get this game now
Kiryu Chan for the Win! Take care roofle!
Roofle is the GOAT. Leave the content making to Roofle 👍
Omg I can't wait for this game
I'm more ezcited for this than I was the Kiryu gaiden game. I'm having a blast with Dynasty Warriors Origins, sounds like we'll have some musou segments. Throwing his dual blades looks alot like the Sun Shang Xiang Chakram throwing animation. Finally excited for the Devil May Cry style combat.

CUSTOMIZATION!!! I'm sold
A pirate character, like Cervantes, could be a cool fit for VF6
1:05 that caught me off guard 😅
this game looks like a lot of fun! I played Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon this past year and had a blast! I don't have Infinite Wealth, but it's on my radar!
Everything presented to me is that this game is mostly a stand-alone as far as the plot goes, you dont gotta be invested too deep.
Can't wait for the Amon pirate ship
GET TO THE TOP CONFIRMED
As someone who loves the series I wasn't very hyped for this game until the previews hit. Ramping up the silliness even more feels like it could hurt the awesome melodrama and gangster power struggles, but man I just love what I'm seeing of the combat.
Well Majima in his current day form(as opposed to yakuza 0) isn't really the melodrama guy anymore. That said who knows, the details on the plot were very very light, but given you know... pirates... I gotta assume its erring towards the absurd
@@Rooflemonger yeah, and RGG are masters of the absurd.
GET TO THE TOP!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!
Which style was your favorite to use, Gangster style or Pirate style?
Gangster is more "classic" yakuza, all the really crazy stuff is in pirate so thats the one I preferred of the two
@ does that include the summon of the Ape god?
@@Quinmcgaming Ape gods are indeed exclusive to pirate style
@@Rooflemonger Makes sense since mad dog gets shadow clones
Wow that's the original Daytona 2 and not power edition! Cool! Also that's not VF3 TB is regular VF 3! Neat! Also the Ocean Hunter!
Oh this being the non fg vid you mentioned makes perfect sense
Hadn’t look into it too much beforehand, but this game looks really cool
4:10 did the ape literally just straight up do Kiryu's extreme heat fist of flurry
Yakuza and roof crossover? I’m so down
CAN you board ships and beat the crew on-board? THIS is the dealbreaker
yes there is ship boarding mechanics. Although the smaller ships you cant board cause they are fodder kinda like random gang members.
@@Rooflemonger Thanks for the answer - I can wait wait for the game's launch relieved. Seems like this new spin-off AND Virtua Fighter are in good hands!
13:58 GET TO THE TOP! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!! THIS IS GONNA BE PEAK!!!😭😭😭😭
10:03 wild K-Son spotted
Just take my money
Everybody is just taking Ubisoft's lunch
its so funny how you don't get invited to try games like cotw but sega looked at you and went, yea he's our guy
its a crazy life. Like I got snubbed for the Terry press event cause capcom japan is mad that I make videos that are TOO informative instead of bland hype, and even changed the NDA's so you can't make vids like I do. This whole industry is weird.
@@Rooflemonger lets just hope this video does well with rgg and they invite you for vf6
With RGG making new VF, I am hopiuming hard for Yagami, Majima, Kiryu and Kaito san.
Any of these announce and it’s instant buy.
The customisation in this looks awesome, gaiden had great customisatiom too but this is another level, creating the most absurd looking ship imagineable is gonna be sweet and bonkers, also pirate baseball..........SOLD feb get here faster
Can you actually play as your crew members during ship's raid like in Gaiden's Coliseum where you could play Kaito?
Far as I saw, you are always in control of Majima
So this game is perfect
Still working my way through Yakuza Kiwami lmao
well theres only uhhhhh 7 more games to get through after that one til you get to this one lol. That said though this one very much is presented as a "standalone"
Incoming Jeffrey and Devil Shark side quest in this game to cross promote Virtua Fighter
Majima is in his late 50’s btw canonically in this game 😂
@@markcampbell8590 I talked to the developer about exactly that, they had japanese staff on site. Its basically "don't think about it too hard"
He needs to be a Tekken 8 guest character 💯
I think you will find he's kinda gonna go to virtua fighter instead
I'll definitely play this though I wish that they also remastered Kenzan as it was first Yakuza game on PS3 and it had unique moves for Dual Swords that wasn't reused and sword moves had some extenctions that modern Kiryu didn't have in 3, 4 and 5. Plus there were some unique minigames.
They invited rooflemonger to do this to distract him from the holy truth of VF6
‘Heeeey look over heeeeere at the cool pirate game’ meanwhile they wheel a tv with VF6 on it behind him and out of sight
/j this is cool
I expect the devil shark in this game.
thats the dream
@@Rooflemonger It would be a wasted opportunity not to. You saw all that water.
I wonder how many games exist, where, at the beginning of the game, you are lying stranded at a beach with amnesia.^^ But beside that, i think, that this game will be great fun, something like Black Flag on drugs.
This is absolutely the psychotic twin to black flag, in the best possible way
Hell yeah
Very eager to play it!
Watching this makes me want a Skies of Arcadia remake/remaster/sequel/prequel. Anything, pleeeeaaassseeee!!! 😢
Nice stuff. Not fighting games but good video
once every 7 years I make a non-fighting game vid I was due
unexpected but not undeserved 🎉
Hype
Cowards will say this is not fgc content,t litle do they know this is pre work for the VF6 character Majima Goro
Yo Roofle this was unexpectedly sick of ya to cover, great high quality overview!

It looks amazing, but your video didn't adress the most important question about any Like A Dragon/Yakuza game: DOES IT HAVE POCKET CIRCUIT RACING?!?! (I just really love it, okay?)
I think its everything that was in infinite wealth + a few more. I dont remember iw having pocket racing so prob not
@ Well ... shit. But everything looks great otherwise. Pocket Circuit Racing is just very dear to me. Like all minigames in this series, WAY better than it needs to be.
I just hope steam releases the system requirements soon. It looks like a stacked game. Dont want another ff16 incident.
I think your ship is a little too unbalanced, considering the enemy literally cannot see it.
Was that the Satan Shark as your figurehead😆
I take this game as a prequel to Jeffry's final battle
w h a t
Looks Cool, gotta love Pirate stuff. Is Bleach Rebirth of Souls gonna be considered a Fighting Game the FGC will get behind and play?
FGC will never, ever back any arena fighter. Sparking zero is like the longest lasting arena fighter of all time and it lasted 3 weeks.
@Rooflemonger I gotcha, Thanks.
Skull and Bones but more fun
didnt know you was a yakuza guy
Love the series. Can't say ive been there since the ps2 days but I got on board with Yakuza 0 and been there since.
Queria que a seong gee tivesse no jogo. Colocaram uma tal de Yurina como membro da tripulação do Majima, total desconsideração.
