Gameplay footage by @samussonic-plays
Check out the dotzip 1000xRESIST spoilercast at https://share.transistor.fm/s/9180106a

1000xRESIST is not only a game about remembering. It is a game about we carry forward and what we must choose to forget. Holding onto every memory from every person on the entire planet is both impossible and dangerous. Some things just don't fit in the backpack.

0:00 - X-Men '97 rules (no spoilers)
1:10 - It's not just X-Men

I swear you don't need to watch all of X-Men the Animated Series to start X-Men '97. And you don't need to catch up. I swear.

Stop doing homework just to have fun. Just enjoy things!

I'll spoil the point up front for you. Yakuza: Like A Dragon rules. It's a great game, and I regret not playing a game in this series until now.

You know what I usually hate? Long, overly complex games, over the top, macho violence, and turn based combat. So why did I start Like A Dragon?

Because Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth features a famous Hawaiian t-shirt shop that was also featured in the now defunct reality Netflix show Terrace House.

That's truly it. Just imagining the vibe of watching Terrace House Aloha State and playing Infinite Wealth at the same time sounded so fun.
