Can't see any other yakuza threads. I'm that guy who just flashed his ps3 for yakuza 3. I really liked it, I guess I didn't do all the side missions and mini games (tbh I hate minigames) but now i'm playing yakuza 4 and tbh I'm not feeling that multiple characters thing tbh. I just finished Akiyama's part and now i'm playing as Taiga and now I'm level 1 again and there's even a tutorial again. I'd much prefer if the game was split between like 2 characters instead of 4 (and I hear 5 has even more characters?), multiple character thing feels like a mistake. The fighting's fun though.

Kuze is the guy who will get defeated and always rise to Struggle again because he’s just such a goddamned bulldog, this goes on to influence the person Kiryu will become.
Awano used to be a guy who valued strength and action, but success defeated him, he began to value money and affluence over merit. But he is redeemed through his fight with Majima.
Shibusawa is an opportunist, he uses his comrades to further his own agenda and then discards them when they outlive their usefulness. Other than Nishikiyama and Goda, all Yakuza final bosses are irredeemable bastards.

Yakuza 6 is probably fine. I was really hesitant to get Kiwami after reading what people were saying about it online but when I got it myself I ended up playing it about as much as I played 0 (i.e. a lot). I'll miss the arena for sure but if the demo's anything to go by it'll bring enough new stuff to the table for it to be worth getting.
That said I've watched a lot of Kiwami 2 gameplay and I'll be going into it with low expectations. Some of the best music tracks from 2 are gone and some of the new ones are genuinely utter shit, which is a first for this series. The first track that plays during the credits in particular is massively at odds with the tone of the ending and imo completely ruins the mood. They also cut out some of the original's substories and the entire third area in Osaka is gone. But that's all ok since we get to meme it up with Majima in a 30 minute long "campaign" with two bosses both reused from Ishin and a total of two heat actions that are somehow worse animated than they were in 0, I guess. I get that watching a game isn't the same as actually playing it but I think I'll be waiting until Kiwami 2's price goes down a bit at the very least.
Kiwami 1 is a shaky remake too but at least it only added upon what was already there rather than removing some of it too (outside of the pretty inconsequential removal of four optional hostesses).

Also lol at all those niggers who skip 3 and some others because of a babbysitting gimmick. The fuck does that mean. To me these games are good cause you get to bond with the characters and you revisit them in every game, you get to see Haruka growing up and shiet. Yakuza 3 is actually my favorite so far. If you're starting with 0 or kiwami then you're a cuck.

Honestly, I ended up liking her more than the other platinums. Also, once she gets to high level she truly does become the best hostess as she has all stats on 90+ and maxed out HP, the only thing that'd make her perfect is if she also had Saki's immunity to fatigue, or at least got it when she gets to max level.

Finally got around to playing and beating Kiwami. Now, regarding the bad things that I've heard about it, I say that they're true, every last one, though I will admit one thing and that's that the recycled boss movesets kinda had to be done when you put into account that Kiwami's a budget game and also because the boss movesets from the original are limited (that's also why most boss fights were against groups of people rather than 1v1s, the trend of boss fights being largely just 1v1s was started with 2 where bosses also had fleshed out movesets). There was only one recycled moveset where I think they completely dropped the ball and that's Shimano. Mr. Shakedowns were a threat not because they could hit you easily, but if you fucked out they'd sap half your lifebar if not more. Giving his moveset to a character as important as Shimano and then making him do shit for damage made him a joke. Though honestly he was a joke in the original because you could just keep spamming your full combo and he didn't know how to react.
The Majima Everywhere system being required for you to make Kiryu's Dragon style not abysmal was a chore, not to mention that they completely fucked the continuity and pacing of the story by making you fight him from as soon as Kiryu gets out of prison, which makes the whole deal around his first boss fight a complete clusterfuck. I don't know what arrogant mot her fuc ker thought this was a good idea, if they really had to put it in they could at least make it so that it activates after Majima's first boss fight.
Lastly, I don't think I'll get Kiwami 2, the reasons are that I heard that some of the compositions that had to be completely changed (not even remixed) because they were composed by one guy just happen to be my favorite ones, especially Northern Menace. Secondly, I watched a video of the Jap version with the Shindo and the final boss fight and Ryuji is a complete joke, I mean fuck. Either the guy playing was too good or Ryuji was made into a complete wuss. What I liked about Ryuji the most and the reason why he is my favorite boss is because he is unique. He'd completely no sell your offense and counterattack, and the no selling wasn't the bullshit cheap superarmor kind, but he'd flinch slightly before unleashing his attack. Regarding Shino, the reason why he's my second favorite boss fight in 2 is because he'd change sword stances and get a different moveset when he did, in Kiwami 2 he just seems to have the jodan stance.

It's most likely the devs are too lazy of making a younger looking Kiryu from scratch or editing Kiryu's face a bit. Though I agree, Kiryu should still have a bit of a baby face in K2 instead of a fully aged scowl.

I'm so close to 100% in 0, but the gambling shit is just holding me back from ever getting there. I'm pretty sure it conspires against me after hitting the blackjack table.

Story-wise, 3 isn't that bad honestly, at least it hits all the established Yakuza elements despite over the top things like orphan-hating CIA niggers, Kiryu's old man's CIA nigger twin brother and a weird Okinawa deal which would let CIA nigger black projects cash in on arms deals due to impending wars or whatever the fuck 3 was about when you look at it from a broader perspective. Most notably the main antagonist Mine acts as Kiryu's foil which was always a thing (or kind of like a mirror image when it comes to Ryuji), which isn't the case in 4 and 5 and only gets brought back with 0.
Gameplay-wise it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that 3 in particular got butchered HARD in localization.

If you were following japanese baseball, that arc was rather red pilled. It shows corrupted nature of their national sports shit show. Its like you need to know why "Softbank" Hawks in modern league is the best performing team, and Saitama Seibu Lions constantly lie in dog shit and eat dirt. Bribery, Yakuza and kikish attitude, not like they hide it even.
In a way its all business, but when cornered in sponsors and advertisers expecting to gain money from a certain team, it gathers borderline yakuza attention. And if they don't want scandals and loss of sponsors, team owners would resort to training professional actors, instead of professional players, who know how to lose, and not how to win.

Am I the only one who’s kind of underwhelmed by Six? As a farewell to a protagonist, it’s serviceable Even though they pussy out of killing Kiryu at the end, which would have been a better way for his arc to end tying up the only loose end from Yakuza 1 we didn’t even get a proper final Majima fight. Other than the beginning and the end, we don’t get to see Majima or Saejima or Daigo. Since they’re probably not going to be using these characters much anymore one would think they would give them more screen time, as it is essentially their farewell as well. I would have killed for a penultimate showdown with Majima, it would have been much cooler pandering than the Majima everywhere shit. Now we have Hiashi Jew-Nose as our protagonist, or whatever his name is. Maybe it’ll be good, but honestly Kiryu is kind of what sold the series.

He's the first guy in the series to actually man up, take a failure, and keep fucking attacking anyway.
He's not meant to be respected as a person, he's meant to be respected as a man. You beat his ass and he loses a finger for his failure, but he ambushes Kiryu in a sewer with a fucking pipe and a motorbike, loses again, and then still keeps coming after you. It helps that his fights tend to be the "Learn how to fucking play or die" variety since his personality is reflected in how he fights.
In his fights, he's fast and durable, and doesn't flinch often, and you're expected to dodge and weave often while punching him because he tends to counter-attack with his own punches you when you're doing long combos.

So, I've emulated the first one on PS2, it was definitely an intriguing game, if a lot rough around the edges, but I kinda just dropped it after the mission where you infiltrate a mansion after a funeral. But, wanting to get some mileage out of the old bloodborne machine, I decided to order the cheapest PS4 Yakuza game I could find and it turned out to be Yakuza 0 rather than Kiwami. It's still a bit before the game arrives.
So, I'm not going to ask "hurr durr good starting point" since I already played some of the OG, but is it a prequel that assumes you know about the entire series or is it more stand-alone?

Yeah, if you go in after Zero, shit will feel pretty heavy. The new Nishiki scenes coupled with his part in Zero add a lot more depth to his character. I just wish he didn't go down like a bitch.

Definitely was. Started on Hard too, thinking I could handle it but got steamrolled a lot of times. And gotta admit I dropped the difficulty to Normal for the Virtua Cop part.

I fucking hate shitty sensitivity in that mission. Crosshair easily slips from important targets, but when you need to travel from one side of the screen to another you have to use bullet time thingy. And yes, that damn Truck was far more difficult than Helicopter in 0.
I had blackout in my house during that, and had to complete entire chinese chapter again. But then i completed the shooting section in a breeze, you have to be really precise with your decision to shoot or to hide from red icons and shoot almost every single rocket launching faggot as fast as its humanly possible. I ended up with both my car's and my own health at bare minimum.
Nishiki was a really well crafted boss by the way, couldn't defeat him without weapons, hope i will get good enough some day later to defeat him on Legend without cheating with rare weaponry (but Yakuza 6 is almost unlocked, so i have to play that instead). I also apparently didn't had right kiwami heat action for him? So i had to resort in heat actioning him with weapons to disallow healing.
Also gotta admit, i loved the addition that enemies could execute heat actions on you, but the whole healing unless executed with special moveset based heat action was bullshit, it took a couple of bosses for me to understand it fully and finding out weapons can break them too, the only game that forced me to drink stamina royale not to restore health, but firstly restore climax heat bars.

Yeah, you need to get it from the oh-so-not-fun Majima everywhere bullshit and I think it's the 3rd last upgrade you get from it. On the flipside, it's by far the most powerful climax heat action, it takes out a whole bar and a half if I remember correctly

Knowing Polygon they probably didn't even fucking play it. 0 you could say is a good entry point since it's a prequel to all the other games despite the myriad references to the other games that you won't get, but it doesn't completely hamper the experience like starting off with the literal final entry for the main character.

I did too, they were a nice way of putting the player and bosses on a more level playing field. I really like first webm related in particular, it's very well animated.
I know there are more than just these three but I'm not sure how many. I know Nishiki can pummel you when you're on the ground though and it does tons of damage.

You would be right, that NPC is clearly different from the generic rabble appearance-wise. I meant unassuming in that he just stood there like other NPCs and would have flown right past me if I didn't feel invested in this world enough to talk to NPCs. I'm certainly not criticizing the game for it, I think it's a very neat touch. The game doesn't set up a huge alarm saying "YOU SHOULD TALK TO THIS GUY". It just gives him a unique skin and a role of the sensei of the first fight tutorial guy so you know he's legit and not trying to rip you off.

Dear fucking God, I hope this is not the case if it's a minigame that has tangible benefit to doing it like Majima's mobileshit-tier hostess crap. JCC could thankfully be completely ignored unless you're a trophyfag.

ALWAYS play in release order. Especially these games. You appreciate the fuck out of the technical advancements, really. 1 and 2 ive been told run fine emulated, proceed to play 3 through 5 on your ps3, then 0, then Kiwami, then 6.
Kiwami is cheap fuck because its standard was $30 to begin with, and its almost completely reused assets from 0 (0 was the first game on PS4 using the updated at the time game engine). Like anons have said, youll be spoiled or wont understand things playing out of order, and the plot of the games is one of the draws because its got a track record for being good writing. You owe it to yourself to play thos series the right way.
6a70c9 No.14661988
Dammit, Yakuza 6 plot is on the whole new level. Chinks get shat upon, Korean fags get shat upon, fucking Tojo clan becomes home for smart villains not even desiring to fight Kiryu directly, with Nishiki-wannabe young antagonist.
I am so far so satisfied with it, the story is down to earth as possible, and as slow in telling and twisting as your average TV drama. And you can tell there are some Yakuza 3 parallels where instead of Okinawa you get similar situations in Hiroshima. It tries to overcome mistakes done in that game, and technically first truly next gen yakuza just like that game was for its time.
Its also worth noting certain parts of the story love to recite back to kiwami, expecting viewer playing kiwami right before it. Its kind of weird in a way, because Kiryu wasn't even used to remember stuff happened in first yakuza in ps3 games with exception for mentioning MIA in 10 billion yen case, but Yakuza 6 treats what happened in first game like it happened yesterday.
Story is complex where you the least expect it to be.
In terms of gameplay despite me being constantly stuck in cafes and restaurants to levelup faster (because this is now the thing, its even faster than going to gym they advertised so much), i noticed that crowd fights when game pins you down against tons of enemies are actually more challenging than most of the bosses. Granted its easy to crowd control them with throws and abusing the game's physics, but that is still something counting that its so fucking easy to pin down bosses and just spam everything at them, for well controlling player their blocks are nothing and dodges are rare ocasion. At locations with furniture bosses are even more easier since furniture has massive damage numbers.
Its also funny to see when physics violently glitches out and after glorious punch to the face, ragdoll of the boss proceeds to jump high into air for no reason. Or when certain objects make wrong collision with kiryu and get launched into space.
There's so much in this, and yet it also feels different. This game was surely made with intention to wrap up a good ending for Kiryu.
>>14661292
>>14661281
Clan creator is also a cheesy way to get money, if you're good with it and have powerful codes, you will gain millions in a breeze, faster than with normal encounters. And after getting millions just hit the gym and buy appetite risers, which you will spend later on consuming more food, which will bring you closer to extraordinary stat boost as long as you know how to combine it right.
Overall it will speed up your general leveling if you're smart, as soon as you get to kamurocho from hiroshima (its recommended dealing with 2 first lunatics before doing so).
On top of that it has its own certain exp stat bonus for each mission.
The only problem clan creator has stupid intro and outro unskippable cutscenes, and they are your only nemesis to grind even faster. And each lunatic guy has his own boss fight. But just crowd control their goons, and deal with them 1 on 1 and it will be easy. Except they are supposed to be wrestlers, so they can grapple Kiryu easily just to show their moves.

Is saves the proper game, and then saves your configuration.

If you dont have a PS2 or want to bother with emulation:
0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2 (Coming in August), 3, 4, Dead Souls (optional), 5, 6.

I can't remember most of the silly stuff being a huge part of the main story. They kind of just introduce you to them via the main story.
Also the saving thing is a holdover from the PS3 games. They also save twice.
I do believe Kiwami does the same thing, but also allows you to save anywhere.
6 and Kiwami 2 does away with this, allowing you to save anywhere and there are autosaves.

Spent my first 5 hours with the game. I can't decide if letting you off the leash right at Ch1 is good or bad because I'm just horsing around. So far and no need to mention the things we already know (like parts of the city that are locked or the frame rate) my modest two cents:
>the good
- starts very strong, the bar tussle that leads to the combat tutorial and the scene after are fantastic and for people going blind, it plays with their expectations really well (is that coke?)
- it lets you off the leash right on Ch1; other games usually take 3-4 chapters until they do
- encounters are very frequent, you can run into another right after finishing one
>the bad
- the non-cutscene dialogues look very awkward, the character models are very high quality but barely move so those parts look very stiff
- another issue with the above is that the dialogue moves by itself which requires a fast reader at points and makes screencapping some of the better lines a bit trickier; could use a option like a anon mentioned
- still no option to set volume for music, voice and sfx separately
Ran into some substories. Hiji starts amusing but gets kinda scary, Haruka's Biggest Fan brutalized my feels into submission and you bet your asses I already went to titty chat.

That reminds me of when SJWs started the statue genocide, people posted those "the statues are fighting back" photos. That was some funny shit.

The substories in Onomichi are even crazier. Also then there's the random trouble encounters you unlock a few chapters in. I missed one of the interesting ones asking you to find and diffuse a bomb in Kamurocho. Also lots of references to other media as usual.

Well, I mean, the main story is still a serious drama, but they do have you do a karaoke session and this whole business about the american sensei. It's a change from Yakuza PS2.
Speaking of which, I'm alternating between the OG and 0, and I run into the empty lot in the former, protected by a dude who tells me to fuck off. Did they really plan that far ahead, or is the empty lot important later on in 1 and they just referenced it in 0 ?

Speaking of which, that gym is a actual one, right? Talk about a shinning endorsement. They even got that jackass friend of Saejima totally ripped even if he still goes down like a fat bitch on prom night.

Very important, mein Führer. Do the following - take note of where the place stands and see what's there when you go play the OG.

Yep, Rizap is an actual thing. Though they've already had stuff like Mountain Dew and other things in the games.

All of the drinks in the stores and in the bars are real life drinks, I think most (if not all) restaurant chains represented in the game exist in real life too.

That's true. Smile Burger, Don Quijote (and its jingle), and a bunch of restaurant chains are all real life brands.

You know, 0's making me feel for Kiryu far more than the PS2 game did. He's better established as a stone-cold badass ready to do anything for the ones he cares about. In the OG he just kinda babysits a girl ? He just doesn't have the same weight to his character.

Understandably. The first game is where the writers were mostly unsure of where they wanted his character to go and how best to establish him. They had an idea behind his character but couldn't build on it properly. The plot of Yakuza 1 as well suffers a bit from this.
By the time 0 rolled around they have a better handle on his character and how he would act before 1. In 0 he's way more impulsive, brutal, and much less refined.
By 5 and 6 he's just so tired.

In 5 he has actually become autistic somehow. I don't know if he's still autistic in 6 but holy shit.

I dunno, but he's understandably frustrated, grumpy and down in 5.
In 6 he's just so fucking tired. You can see it in his face when he's talking to people.

Is karaoke back in Hokuto? It would be hilarious if they made a version of Bakamitai for Kenshiro.

I don't get it.
They could have easily just put the karaoke minigame in but I guess they wanted to do something different.

Completed Y6. Story twisted so much it hurt at chapter 10 and later. But the worst part is that they saved worst villains for later. I am surely not a fan of that, at some point shit just got too predictable. I easily guessed loads of shit through the story, it almost made me hate the following reaction of main characters. Loved every second of it though.
Don't know if i want 100% it. Bosses were piss easy even by the end, where i already got past limit breaker shit and generally speaking enemies let a lot of your moves hit, not to mention despite limit on healing items, game allows you to carry countless food items which also restore health. It was rather casual experience after kiwami. But fun non the less.
I really wish Akiyama and Date weren't the only returning guys in the fucking series. Its crazy talk, but i missed Majima. Here's hope Shin Ryu Ga Gotoku won't be shit. And despite desiring good sales for Kiwami 2 i feel like replaying Yakuza 2 on Yakuza 6 engine is not the most desirable thing to do. I fear its only going to be downhill from here.
