The series promised gritty crime dramas with tattooed gangsters smashing skulls.
Majima is a mainstay of the series, first introduced as a villain and then morphed into an anti-hero.
The eccentric thug is the wild yin to Kazuma Kiryus stoic yang.
Soon enough Majima encounters some down-on-their-luck islanders, being terrorized by wannabe pirates.
Beyond the Pirate trappings, it’s typical Yakuza fare.
What really makes the story tick are the unlikely friendships that Majima strikes up on his journey.
Your ship handles more like a souped-up motor from Need for Speed than a heavily armored galley.
you might also ram opposing ships using boost to deal a decent bit of damage.
you could also switch to deck mode during combat to fire a rocket launcher or man the guns personally.
Confusingly, these pirate battles operate with different rules than regular land brawls.
Pirate Gaiden
Alongside the main quest, there are, of course, hundreds of distractions.
In Honolulu, youll find more traditional Yakuza fare quirky sub-stories, minigames, bounties and more.
Like a Dragons trademark minigames of course return, but many will be disappointingly familiar to fans.
Its too ambitious, too idiosyncratic.
