It’s time to trade the neon lights of Japan for the sun and surf of Hawaii. How does Ichiban Kasuga’s second adventure fare? It’s far-out, dude.
The Yakuza series has officially changed its name to Like a Dragon, and we have another installment with Ichiban Kasuga. We also have a side game to talk about. Wait, Kiryu is back? Wasn’t he retired?
Chris insists Penguin-chan just wants a hug. Josh discovers he’s secretly Truck-kun. Andi grabs his shovel and keeps on digging. Guest host MDi is back in the 80s with gaming. Kelley isn’t married to Chris, but still ready to divorce him! It’s a long story.
Atlus and Sega announced that their lectures from this year’s GDC are available to watch for free. The trio of lectures cover development of Metaphor: ReFantazio and the Like a Dragon series.
The last year presented us with another hefty selection of RPGs to enjoy, covering a wide variety of experiences. With another year in the books, RPGamer spent our customary time digesting the year and present our Best of 2024 Awards.
2024 was another year that packed plenty of punches with its releases. While we go through our official awards process, we asked our volunteer teams to pick out their personal top threes of the year.
Kelley eats radioactive sushi. Chris tries to learn what a “zound” is. Josh goes to the Millennium tower one last time and rips off his shirt. Johnathan makes his bi-annual visit to Suiko-shame Chris.
Kelley risks her life trimming her cat’s nails. Chris optimizes Eiyuden Chronicle live on stream. Robert plays dental roulette.
Chris force feeds people desserts to make people like each other. Ryan likes bad games, just like Chris. Kelley has a penchant for losing pendants. Matt throws some garbage in the pot and suddenly it’s pizza. Now let’s grow old and lose stats together.
Chris gets ready for his favorite part of FFXIV, the benchmark. Kelley complains about her hotel bed while waiting for a tow truck. Josh is force feeding his army desserts. Meanwhile…wait…Robert…wake up, Robert!
Kelley gets bored and cleans her bathroom. Memories of the Virtual Boy make Josh’s eyes hurt. Robert can’t stop singing about Albuquerque. Chris, meanwhile, decides to make his own farming sim with coffee shops and old people.
Chris gets cheesecake from rats. Kelley punches worms to get her Tifa back. And Josh funds a re-dub of Yakuza with Mark Hamil. Now excuse us as we go attend tonight’s brawl at the local Waffle House.
Sam is declared legally dead. Chris’s Batman Cookies set him down a bad path in his life. Kelley’s alien grandpa tells us what Pokémon look like while she ignores her husband. Now excuse us as we shove chocolate down our shirts.
Chris kink-shames Red XIII. Kelley violates the time space continuum with cat cafes. Josh is better at keeping things afloat than Embracer Group. Robert fails at being family friendly.
Robert finds out what Godzilla sushi tastes like. Josh pimps his Segway. Phil has a pictomancer at home. The awards all Chris’s fault, because he didn’t vote. Also, PoE is to Chris, as CoH is to Phil.
Josh increases his charisma with Sega BASS fishing. Chris plays something other than Path of Exile. Kelley thinks the world sucks and goes to pet a cat. Cook my toast.
Ahead of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s release this week, Sega posted the game’s opening movie. Viewers can get a sense of Ichiban’s new civilian life, before everything changes again.
We enter another year stacked full of exciting upcoming releases. The RPGamer staff picked out some of the highlights they are looking forward to in 2024.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is expanding on its predecessor’s Pokémon parody. Players will be able to participate in Sujimon battles, as well as summon them with a new job.
