Beating Avowed in active players....

[Tomatokek]

Congrats Yakuza team. The gamers have spoken.

okay

Avowed is worse than Skyrim. What did you expect? Trash game.

the sheep player without personality who plays what others play

One thread saying Avowed has more players than this game, and another saying the opposite.

Dear God, that game really is living rent free on some people's heads, isn't it? I wonder if they've ever tried just playing games and actually enjoying them, instead of subsisting on a diet of nothing but performative outrage videos on Youtube, telling them to always be angry at stuff.

What is with this forced rivalry? It's not even close to being the same type of game. I don't go around comparing Final Fantasy titles to sports games just because the release date is close.

That is just how some people are.

Some people really need to get out of their chair.
Take a look in the mirror.
Ask themselves the following question.
What am I doing with my life?
Then move on with their life because it is a pointless waste of time to argue over stuff like this...

Yakuza is a game that doesn't have huge audience, also considering Yakuza series are primary PS5 game. Avowed on another hand supposed to be that big game everyone was talking about, so Avowed having such little numbers is sad. But you cope how you want.

I dunno, ask Avowed fanbois who started the war first.

Avowed is a new IP and Yakuza got into the mainstream

What a blatant lie and misinformation, This is nothing but malicious criticism.

yakuza pirate = 18,288 all time peak so far and 15k playing right now

avowed = 17,490 all time peak so far and 14,218 playing right now.

And people say that Avowed is a massive catastrophic failure, one of the biggest flops of 2025 so by that logic Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza is also a massive flop.

Who said it was supposed to be? It obviously had quite a low budget, came out day one on game pass, the numbers are just as good if not better than almost every other game Obsidian has made. Literally the only thing that would indicate that it was supposed to be big is the fact that Microsoft published it but they barely did any advertising tbh.

It was never hyped up as you described, only by the people who convinced themselves that it was the "next Skyrim" and whatnot.

Aren't both games played by gamers? I don't understand.

"Comparison is the thief of joy"
I am going to play both, as will many others I am sure.
