A yakuza fan liking yakuza 6????????? I M P O S S I B L E

@@unclekaz3153 I don’t get it I’m finally grinding through 6 have 15 hours so far and I’m loving it!

@TDFPL excatly 0 kiwami 2 5,6 are fantastic 3 and 4 are good to great games comoared to the othe rin generall there are no bad yakuza games 3 is just the weakest game and alot of life improvemements that were added later missing

@TDFPL The only gameplay problem with 6 was the lack of a Boss fight. A leader of a clan with a small health bar is not a boss. Every other Yakuza game fight last a lot longer

Start with Yakuza zero. I just started the series myself last week.i finished yakuza0 first and now I started Kiwami. Once u play zero, you'll be hooked and in awe! I kick myself for not starting sooner but this coronavirus lockdown has me outta work so decided to start. Plus, they are all on sale right now on ps4 store! So grab them while they're cheap!!!!! I bought them all once I got my stimulus check. I think around 120$ for all 7 .No regrets! :)

Yeah, Jono dove in and couldn't stop until he finished the whole series, so definitely take Red Beard NJ's advice! ~Greg

Just take it a game at a time. They are all good

@Miscellaneous Mind That's a good problem to have! ~Greg

Just take it one game at a time :) Even if you only play Yakuza 0 you’ll be glad you did.

That's what everyone keeps telling me! Enjoy the ride! ~Greg

YUP. ~Greg

From what I've been told, you're in for a great time with Kiwami! Glad we could help you figure out if this remaster jived for you or not! ~Greg

They seriously should just make it an option to turn off random encounters instead of locking it behind an accesory.

@@KaiKrimson56 yeah

And we're not about to stop you! Get into it! ~Greg

As Palpatine would say, "Do it." ~Greg

It's going to be a good time for everyone! I've heard good things about 0! ~Greg

@Naked Old Snake It's too good for its own that I compared Kiwami to it that I got sorta disappointed learned my lesson and I enjoy each game for itself

As far as I've been told about the series, you've got a good, fun run ahead of you! ~Greg

i know I'm actually so pumped finished 3 last week going to start 4 this weekend and progress on

Seems like a solid breakdown! ~Greg

Is it true that in 6 kiwami 1 and kiwami2 you can smash ppl through shop Windows and continue the fight inside? Would be so cool

Will they be in crisis in Yakuza 6!?!?!? ~Greg

@@rpgfancom Spoiler alert! Yes.

Heard good things about both! Enjoy the ride! ~Greg

If you did Yakuza 0 next you should do Kiwami and Kiwami 2 after that. And then maybe skip to 6 lol. Play 3 and 4 if a completionist but if you need to know what happens watch a KZfaq movie edit. Just because those games are pretty dated at this point. But if you’re the type who has to play them all then good luck lol. And then once you’ve done Yakuza 6, make sure to play Judgement. And of course Yakuza: LAD

@@BladetastersDelight thanks, indeed I went from 0 to Kiwami, and I think it's a much better game in terms of story certainly, and I'm gaining on my knowledge of the series from 0. Still working on that game, buy I want to play Kiwami 2 for the advancements made possible by the Dragon engine. Can I ask for your thoughts on Like A Dragon? Is it worth bothering with?

@@PinkFloydFan74 so it was actually Like a Dragon that got me into the series lol, but that’s as someone who prefers turn based jrpgs over brawlers. Went back and thrashed out the series after it. I think LAD is pretty phenomenal in terms of story and as a turn based jrpg, but if you don’t like turn based games that might be a hurdle. But can guarantee the story and characters are great, as well as the side content (the two big mini games in that one are a Mario kart type racing game Dragon Kart, and a business management sim). There’s this general consensus in the fanbase that Yakuza 0, Judgment, and Like a Dragon have the best stories in the franchise. But again, turn-based jrpgs can definitely be a turn off especially to people who love the brawler combat the most.

So I keep hearing! ~Greg

Have fun! ~Greg

Nice! Enjoy! ~Greg

@@rpgfancom have u played all

Glad to hear you dig the series! It seems a hard series not to love. Thanks for commenting! ~Greg

@@rpgfancom I bought the digital version a few days ago but I could only download Yakuza 3 why?

@@francescomenna4188 I honestly don't know! That's odd if it's the whole collection and you only got one! Contact the distributor? (Sony, Steam or whatever?) Hope you get it sorted! ~Greg

@@rpgfancom I solved thanks

@@francescomenna4188 Thank goodness! Have a good time with them! ~Greg

Enjoy! It's apparently great! ~Greg

You're in good company! ~Greg

You can play Judgment no problem. It's amazing too. You could probably play Yakuza 6 too, but then you would obviously miss three full games of story which might decrease the impact of 6. Both Yakuza 4 and 5 are also considered better games than Yakuza 6 for what it's worth.

why do you wanna jump into Yakuza 6? It's basically a worse Kiwami 2.

Hope we helped you figure out your stance on it, then! ~Greg

No hate! It's a good game! Enjoy the heck out of it! ~Greg

Like, the game release or where the story is set? ~Greg

What makes you say that? ~Greg

@@rpgfancom I can only speak on my initial and current impressions, as I've just begun to play Y3. The graphics were initially a bit jarring as I had expected the remaster to be of similar quality to the first Kiwami, especially alongside the dated combat system of 3 - that's the fault of my own expectations though, as I hadn't researched what engines were in use for the remaster collection. I myself am fine adjusting to older graphics and expect this feeling to fade. I was just as quickly jarred by the very sudden ditch of Sayama's character. I purchased and downloaded Y3 in a hurry after playing through the climactic ending of K2, so to see the culmination of it's story quickly dismissed after all the build up/character development left a bit of a bland taste in my mouth. I may as well add that I am a totally new fan, I decided I would begin the series in order of release with the Kiwami's (remake was not released first I know, but you know what I mean), which I thoroughly enjoyed. I expect the rest of the games to be quite enjoyable and I will see my Yakuza marathon through over the next year or so; but man, that sharp turn they took after 2.. jarring was the only word that came to mind after diving straight into Yakuza 3.

@@loto7197 I can't disagree with you. Yakuza 3 is a great game, but it does feel dated compared to what they achieve once they move to the new game engine in Yakuza 5. I still think it's worth playing, though. The story is solid and the combat, though somewhat simplistic, is still fun. We're on the same page about Sayama, as I was a fan of her character in Kiwami 2. The only thing I can guess is that they wanted the storyline to focus on Kiryu being a single "Yakuza Dad" to Haruka and the orphans, and Sayama didn't fit into that picture. At least they somewhat addressed her departure rather than have her suddenly vanish!

i started at 3 so i can’t imagine how satisfied imma be when i get to the more new games including like a dragon cuz i dont mind turn base

Now I want to play the series to find out who Mr. Shakedown is and why he's so IMPORTANT :O ~Greg

@@rpgfancom mr shakedown is in yakuza 0 if your curious

@@Santiago-pt7qq Nice. I'll ask Jono to extol his virtues for me, then. ~Greg

@@rpgfancom Remember to buy lots of stun guns.
