Summary
In this episode Gino, Em, and Pete play their first Yakuza game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon! We cover the game's bonkers story, classic JRPG combat, and rediculous characters. We also cover the game's ability to highlight marginalized people while also making violence the answer to almost every problem. Like a Dragon is a game of contrasts. Unfortunately, Em's two hour explanation of the rules of Mahjong had to be cut for time. However, I assure you it was riveting.
