I felt this way DURING Infinite Wealth, so I have 0 confidence the slew of issues with what they did to Ichiban's character in that game will ever be fixed lmfao
'Like a Dragon' executive producer Yokoyama says he treats each new entry like it could be the last.
"As an example, I haven’t thought about what happens to Ichiban Kasuga in the future yet [after the events of LAD: Infinite Wealth and Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.”

Only put like 5 hours in, but MIO Memories in Orbit is sick.

Long Island Cheeseburger. It was a shitty hole in the wall my parents used to take us one town over when my dad would be off on Sundays.
It had giant blues brothers statues outside (can’t find a picture) and was so tacky. I loved it.
