Yakuza 3 is the only game I've played in the series so far

Well do yourself a favor and start playing them all!

That's the plan.

It's so refreshing to see a 2010 game not having its visual smeared by unnecessary post processing effects. Especially when Mass Effect 2 belonged to the same year.

Like, I dig how glossy Kiwami 2 looks...

... but I really really miss this type of visual. Simple lighting, simple texture, moderate level of detail. It doesn't treat my eyes as camera lens and there's no color filter here. Really appealing, I love this.

Yakuza remasterd collection Top seller on steam.

The Yakuza 3 logo somehow reminds me of the "Jeb wins every state" meme.

So, how does the whole series play on keyboard + mouse? Is it acceptable? Can you compare it to something else?

 

[Ivan]

Real yakuza use a gamepad

It's ok man

 

[mikaelis]

Ok, I gave in. My first Nippon game series, that I am going to start in a few days. I feel filthy (though I never shied away from anime shit, so maybe I am trained and prepared ).

Should serve me well for another 5+ years (with Yakuza 6 coming in March and Yakuza 7 already here).

Hope I won't regret it.

The individual games are still under Skyrim, how is this game still so fucking popular. Jesus.

Crazy deal for all those. I'm tempted to throw my Steam Card sale credits on them....though by the time I've caught up, they will be bundle filler I guess.

It's ok man

Except for some of the minigames...Karaoke and dance are kinda shit. Found a cheap steam controller for those.

 

[Abu Antar]

Get the collection on GameBillet, it's €31.

 

[Terra]

So how long until the inevitable Y3 "Michiru everywhere" mod?

Its keyboard and mouse is fine most of the time, but the harder coliseum fights are much easier with a controller. Its just easier to pull off Kiryu's more powerful techniques with a controller.

It's also cheaper than the Steam price on Fanatical, at least at the time of writing: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/the-yakuza-remastered-collection (not sure how the currency conversion works though)

I just finished the forget me not sidequest in 7

Spoiler

I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a few tears. That's was completely unexpected. One of my favorite quests in the series. I wish we'd seen more of her in chapter 1.

 

[Deflowerer]

Yeah, that was definitely one of the stand-out subquests.

Most sidestories in 7 are garbage. I only enjoyed fighting the caged animals in the park. The rest won't be as memorable after a year.

You can tell they wanted to make them longer than in previous games, but you end up getting less quests to keep you entertained. The biggest issue with the sidequests is that they don't integrate the party at all, it's just Kasuga doing stuff on his own and the gang magically appears for the fights.

 

[Ivan]

This moment made me tear up. Love these guys.

also, super disagree with the person who said the sidequests are weak. IDK if it's b/c I'm doing it now, but this entry may have my favorites. None have made me laugh more than the Kimchi quest, and the mascot one was a close second. Shit how about the presimmon one, or the boy who keeps eating alone at the burger joint, holy shit what about Mr Masochist!

There have so far been very few duds (i.e. "I know where this is going", e.g. dumpster diver one).

 

[Fishy]

In 3 now and finally managed to leave Okinawa. It... just... wouldn't... fucking... stop...

It feels so good to be back in Kamurocho and no longer saddled to kids.

 

[Jenkem]

I forgot how fucking archaic Yakuza 3 is.. the jump up to 4 was ridiculous looking back

 

[Ivan]

Any hints on how to open gold safes in Like A Dragon? Is it tied to the main quest, a particular side quest/minigame?
