00:00Avowed, what's your favorite letter of the alphabet?
00:04Huh...
00:05Interesting.
00:06Now Yakuza, what's your favorite letter?
00:08🎵Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh🎵
00:11🎵Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh🎵
00:11🎵Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh🎵
00:12Now this is my kinda game.
00:14Since the last Grand Theft Auto, there have been 11 Yakuza games released
00:18and each one of them is longer than the wait for Grand Theft Auto 6.
00:22I think there's 16.
00:23So to catch the newbies up to speed,
00:25Sega pulled one of the most creative writing techniques in the history of video games.
00:30Where was I?
00:31Who was I?
00:32Majima goddamn Niiija!
00:35This is the best video that I ever did.
00:36But Amnesia?
00:38Really?
00:39Back in my Avowed video, which I never made,
00:41I spent three-fourths of the video talking about Balan Wonderworld
00:44because it's the better game.
00:45This time, I'm not even gonna mention Balan Wonderworld.
00:47Heave ho, off I go!
00:49On a ship to what is a no-ho!
00:50Hey, that's a bit off! On a ship to what is a no-ho!
00:52Heave ho, off we go!
00:54On a ship to what is a no-ho!
00:56Are you sure there's no stopping us now that we're chasing after our dreams?
00:59All the best games have singing, like Alan Wake.
01:02I thought this song was really stupid,
01:04but then, like, ten minutes later, I was singing that song for the rest of the game.
01:08For me, the smell of alcohol always reminds me of home.
01:12You had a nice chat with Noah.
01:13Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has the best title, but is not the best title in the franchise.
01:18That's probably one of these still even the least essential Yakuza
01:21is more essential to me than the best Pokemon game.
01:25It blinked.
01:27Wait, he blinked, right?
01:30Oh my god, he's alive!
01:31It's a person!
01:32Kill that! Kill that! Kill that!
01:36The last boat-type game I played was Skull & Bones,
01:39which was developed by 100 Studios.
01:41Pirate Yakuza is made by one studio, which is developing 100 games.
01:45In Skull & Bones, you can pay microtransactions to chop down trees.
01:49In Pirate Yakuza, your boat can do a nitro boost and drift and shoot lasers
01:54and glue a bear to the front of the boat.
01:56This series is famous for having good characters,
01:59like Man Who Wants to Sell Cow,
02:00which is an obvious homage to the Man Who Rages Against the Storm from Balan Wonderworld,
02:05which we're not gonna talk about.
02:06You stand before Captain Beef!
02:10Think about how much better Monster Hunter would have been if Captain Beef was the main character.
02:14With this Yakuza, you can play Sega Master System,
02:17you can put a pirate hat on your tiger,
02:19you can date your tiger, but that was just a scientist pretending to be him,
02:22the tiger will punch people in the head,
02:24and you can do dancing like in Balan Wonderworld, which is a phenomenal game.
02:28Customize your wings!
02:30Customize your shirt!
02:32Steal my shirt, you piece of crap!
02:35Yakuza is set in an alternate timeline,
02:37where Sega is still one of the big three and gamer cred is properly respected.
02:42Every minigame has challenges to complete,
02:44which rewards you with pirate points, which is how it should work in real life.
02:48Most RPGs are still stuck in this past-gen practice of grinding monsters to get stronger.
02:54How primitive, how archaic.
02:57Me am very fancier than you.
02:59I have unlocked the erudite achievement by playing Pool and Fighting Vipers 2 at the arcade.
03:06You win!
03:10Before Kiryu was hitting people with bicycles in Yakuza 1,
03:14Steven was hitting people with bicycles in Fighting Vipers 2.
03:17This lineage, this history, it is essential to the world of Yakuza.
03:21This game does recycle a lot of content from Infinite Wealth,
03:25but every Yakuza has its twist and turns.
03:27You might think that the cooking minigame is where you're gonna be cooking,
03:30but actually, it's the golf minigame.
03:34We're cooking now!
03:35Logically, the pirate part should be the best part because you can fight a crew of sumo wrestlers,
03:40but actually, baseball is the best part of the game.
03:44And if you do good enough there, you can unlock the Angry Birds theme song to listen to on your pirate ship.
04:09This is a pirate-themed game in a ninja-themed year,
04:13but it also has ninjas, too.
04:15And at the end of the day, isn't that what Christmas is all about?
04:27These are good games.
