Why I Didn’t Buy – Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

I recently played the demo for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and really liked it. It seemed like a fun mixture of a brawler game and a pirate adventure.

However, today is February 21, the release date of the full game, and instead of playing it, I’m making a YouTube video trying to justify why I didn’t buy the game.

Here’s the summary: the $60 price tag seems too much for what feels like a very well polished DLC for Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. And given the publisher SEGA’s history, it is a safe guess that this game will end up on a subscription service in a few months. In the meantime, for the same price tag, I can buy “Monster Hunter Wilds” which is coming out in a week, and which will last way longer than the 30-40 hours that Pirate Yakuza offers.
