I started to love this game almost immediately, but the moment where this game fully and truly hooked me was the cutscene with Kiryu and Nishikiyama after the fight in the sewers. Nishikiyama takes a gun out wanting to mercy kill Kiryu and seeing the distraught and pain in his face, his voice straining as he struggles to pull the trigger. One of my favorite scenes in all of gaming.

That scene and others really empower the events of kiwami in my opinion. I'm not through the game yet (I think I'm at chapter 5), but having more context for kiryu and nishikiyama's relationship made the early events of kiwami give me far more complex emotions and questions than if I had played kiwami first. Really shows that zero isn't just a great standalone title, it's a fantastic prequel as well.

"Clobbering anyone who looks at me funny" I'd like to point out a thing that makes Yakuza stand out compared to most sandbox titles: Kiryu, Majima or any other protagonist NEVER initiate combat, never directly attack people, they defend themselves. Part of it is due to the series creator's personal stance on not liking the idea that violence is fun, and part of it is a brilliant choice that prevents discrepancies between the narrative and gameplay. Whereas, say, games like Just Cause allow you to quite literally murder anyone in cold blood and destroy anything in your path, while still telling the player that Rico is the good guy, in Yakuza you never do something Kiryu wouldn't do. That way, there is no discrepancy between the characterization of "Storyline Kiryu" as a good-hearted, rugged but still kind person and "Gameplay Kiryu"

That's not true. Right in the prologue he already starts fights, not to mention the whole rest of the game. In the intro cinematic he runs into (literally) a random guy knocking him down for no reason. Then a few minutes later Kiryu meets two drunks who aren't even remotely trying to start a fight with him and barely even look at him, Nishiki says "let's go around them" and Kiryu says "no let's beat them up". And he does! And so on for the rest of the game.

I would really like a yakuza game that takes more after GTA with a bigger map and cars of course, full freedom to attack whoever, but still retaining the denseness that Yakuza 0 has (haven't played the others but from what i understand its the same) Of course that's a tall order but if they were able to pull it off they'd probably end up being GTAs first real competitor.

D'jango Markov Yakuza you play AS kiryu tho. He wouldn’t attack anyone at random. So it’s a narrative limitation. You care about kiryu because he interacts with the world consistently. GTA and Red Dead try to do the same thing. But they fail, because of player agency. GTA 3 has that on lock, but the increasing narrative elements and restrictive nature clash.

One of the coolest things you'll find in later games is that the area Kiryu explores in his part of the game is a staple of the entire series. That district is generally the same in every Yakuza iteration, just with differences here and there as the games go on. While this might SOUND boring or repetitive on paper, the opposite is true. Since there are so many things to do in the games, you never feel bored and, due to the small area you go back to on every adventure, you see it grow and change. It's alive, just like Kiryu himself and you become familiar with it to the point where you feel attached to it. This becomes not just Kiryu's turf... but your turf... your home. So you begin to feel like you really do have a stake in all this. It's honestly pretty clever for Sega to do it like this.

It's worth noting that Sotenbori is not a neighbouring district in Tokyo, but is actually Osaka's Kamurocho equivalent. Which makes its relevance to the Empty Lot storyline even more intriguing, since the war for it extends across the country as opposed to just being Tokyo focused. That's also why there's a dialect difference between the two, with the residents in Sotenbori speaking in Kansai-ben (more casual with a harsher tone) which was translated to a more southern style American dialect in the English localization.

I used to play in DDR tournaments and rhythm games are almost always fun for me, so I was floored by how this minigame was the bane of my playthrough.

Hard to say. I agree that the story is better told in Jugement, but I think the story (i.e. the actual details of the plot) felt really typical. Judgement never surprised me with a ridiculous twist, and I think that comes down to the type of film they were taking their cues from. Japanese Yakuza movies are operatic madness in a cool jacket, and we don't make stuff quite like that in the West. Detective procedurals are a dime a dozen where ever you go and the tropes are pretty consistent across them, but video games have an easier time looking like Law & Order then they do looking like an 80s grindhouse movie.

Thank you for this video, many of these popular KZfaq Gamers have tremendous influence on the games people play. I would have never touched, looked at, or considered playing Yakuza 0. I then watched Angry Joes review, Ive been increasingly critical of Joe in recent years, but he sold me on trying this game. I played it and hated it after Chapter 2 and deleted it. A few months later the gaming Gods touched me and I gave it another try. By the end of the game I was amazed at the greatness of this game. When those end credits hit with that great song, I stood up and actually applauded this game. I have since played Kiwami 1, Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, recently beat Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 6 and waiting on the remaster Yakuza 5 in February. I never would have played this great franchise if not fro Angry Joe. People will see your video and will try and enjoy this great franchise, you really do provide a service. I wish more KZfaq Influencers spent more time promoting great games rather then endless content on Fallout 76, Anthem, and EA.

Yakuza has become one of my favorite game series of all time after starting from 0 this year and I seriously can't wait for the remasters and play all the main games with spin-offs in time. This is probably my first The Completionist video I watched so I wasn't part of the meme of Yakuza 0 sadly... But I think I've discovered something amazing... I'll keep watching the older videos!

Yakuza 0 is better than any GTA. Everything from the story, combat, side missions, cutscenes... it's just on another level entirely. I say this as someone who grew up on GTA games, but yeah... the only thing GTA does better is probably the scale. I think it's great in terms of offering massive open worlds, with all kinds of vehicles, radio DJs, etc. But Yakuza 0 is better in everything else.

@harrylane4 3 жыл бұрын

They aren't really comparable, honestly. GTA's open world was designed to fuck around in and emergent storytelling, and the story itself is an afterthought. Yakuza's world, on the other hand, was designed as a method of delivering stories. Hell if Yakuza 0 doesn't blow GTA V out of the water for my tastes though

@delk1299 3 жыл бұрын

I feel like comparing them in the first place is not great Yakuza is a game that feels like an RPG with a crime drama for a story whereas GTA is the Sandbox experience where you can fuck around and live out your power fantasy. Even most of their stories are about rising to the top of the ladder and bathing yourself in power

This might be one of, if not the most uniquely designed set of open world games as I can't recall any others that are made in the same way Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio does.

Anyway, the Yakuza series is on my favorites list now and I’ve been making sure to get my hands on every Yakuza game on the PS4.
