Every Yakuza game:

So far I'm absolutely loving it. I immediately feel the much improved pacing compared to the mess/hodgepodge that was Yakuza 4. I'm having a blast with Kiryu following his day-to-day life in a town. It's this down-to-earth POV that's really working for me.

Nice.

I decided to play YAKUZA 0

My experiences so far...warning spoilers

Initially I watched lots of Japanese men talking in cut scenes whilst occasionally pressing a button, normally this would lead to immediate uninstall, but probably for the first time ever.. I found it all interesting and cool.

Later I had several fights leading to one with a man in glasses and tattoos.
After which a strange man invited me back to his house for a shower...Initially I panicked and then remembered this isn't a bioware game.

I met an old man who keeps trying to get me beaten to a pulp

Several adventures followed including helping schoolgirls who like to sell their lingerie to perverts.

More fights

I spend far to long playing mini-games, because for once I actually like some of them

A young woman with mental issues wants to be my girlfriend, and later her father wants me as well

I meet a man called "walking erection"

I collect cards of women and watch them in underwear videos, next to me is a box of tissues...errr..in the game, not real life.

I'm just about to possibly murder an innocent blind girl

Conclusion
This is the one of the funniest and most enjoyable games I've played in some time

Yeah, i also just started it.

Story is nice, loving the city.
Loving the karaoke but the gimped mahjong is garbage.
I'm mixed about combat, dodge is very random, parry is slow af fuck.

 

[ADL]

I'll buy it when they remove Denuvo
fwiw they've done it with every Yakuza release so far

 

[Ivan]

Guys, I keep forgetting to ask this: does Yakuza 3-5 suffer from pretty bad screen tearing across the board. It's there, but I usually get used to it and forget about it. I thought it'd be fixed by Y5 b/c it's a newer engine, but it's still there and pretty noticeable when I look for it. FPS is fine, it's just the horizontal screen tearing. Maybe I'm alone in this and it's just my pc...Thanks!

edit: gonna try this "Turn off V-Sync in-game and turn on Fast Sync in NVIDIA Panel if you experience screen tearing"

 

[Rean]

Yes, tearing is pretty bad in the series and you need V-sync enabled (which works, I don't know why it doesn't for you). I don't think the high seas releases have any related problems with that either.

I had the exact same experience. It's just that much better than anything else out there.

Get used to him. Probably one of the coolest dudes in that game.

Yakuza is a series about serious men experiencing serious situations, then taking their shirts off to show their back tattoos before getting into dramatic fistfights, with everything punctuated by interactive shitposts.

So basically a crime drama co-directed by Martin Scorcese and Gareth Evans, with the script written by 4chan.

 

[Nirvash]

Omg the minicars thing, i'm 12 again

Tell me every yakuza game got this.

Would've added "Enough Soap to support a Telenovella for twenty years", but this sums it perfectly up.

Slot cars are only a minigame in just 0 and Kiwami, I regret to inform you.

They have a pretty brisk rotation of minigames, even some regulars like karaoke don't appear in every game (Judgment lacks karaoke). Hunting is only in Yakuza 5, and speargun fishing is only in Yakuza 6 for example (both are really nice too, I really liked the Hunting minigame in Yakuza 5 a lot and really prefer its more simple and straightforward approach to Red Dead Redemption's way too overcomplicated take).

Pocket Fighter does return in 6 and Like A Dragon tho.

 

[Nirvash]

waaaaait a minute, the eye patch dude (24? like hell) is like... a main character? There are more?

aaaaaah damn adorable loli asking for dolls.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Yakuza 4, 5, and 0 have multiple playable characters (4, 5, and 2 respectively), and Like A Dragon has a party of adventurers on a quest to find an employment agency.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

Yakuza 0 was a mistake. Nothing worse than 0 fags

Please libido sensei, teach me the way of the coomer.
Yes, actual porn videos mod from loverslab is in download.
Thank you, libido sensei.


Yes sidequest are like 100% 4(2)chan, just amazing.

 

[Nirvash]

So...

"Kiryu badass yakuza" civilian friends are... some chick from convenience store, sushi bar dude and... minicar virgin?

But "Goro whorehouse king" civilian friends are... dude from video fap store and coomer master libido sensei?

Not even sure who's in the wrong here.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Not even sure who's in the wrong here

Neither of them

 

[Nirvash]

Oh fuck , ch4 done, i love this game, omg the cliffhanger.

But how i'm supposed to give a shit about kiryu story now?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

But how i'm supposed to give a shit about kiryu story now?

You will. You will.

 

[Reinhardt]

Lol, thinking you can evade Kiryu-chan charm.

 

[Belegarsson]

Just finished Kiryu's first part in Y5 and this game is like a remedy to my Kamurocho fatigue so far. Like, I'm pretty sure I love Okinawa more than 90% of playerbase, it felt like a cozy hometown that I never knew I had, and now Nagasugai is like the perfect location for a mundane part of life just passing by. It doesn't have overly standout locations and few shiny neon signs, the streets are narrow almost like walking streets, and it's cut off right where you catch a glimpse of a more lively city on the south. But this compact size makes it feel like a friendly neighborhood where I feel perfectly comfortable to stretch my legs at night because I'm that kind of weirdo.

Or maybe I just want to live near a canal. Is this fucking video game making me contemplating life choice right now

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

You aren't going to believe your lucky stars when you get to Yakuza 6 if that's the location mood you're after.
