>>377161412
I was going to buy because I never played the original

reminder kiwami is still not the definitive way to play yakuza 1 and you should play the ps2 version first

The first Yakuza is the only Yakuza game I've played.
Is it ok for me to play 0?

>>377161412
They already announced that 6 is getting a western release though.

>>377161412

>$24 with a prime order

Yea this ones a no brainer.

>>377163073
Sure, it could be weird playing the rest of the games afterwards though since 0 has the best gameplay

>>377163198
>implying that extremely poor sales of Kiwami wouldn't "delay" and then cancel the release.

>>377163368
That's exactly how I felt when I saw it pop up on my dashboard. I didn't even hear the NA release announcement, but that's a steal.

>>377161412
That logic doesn't work on me anymore.

>>377163541
Do you not want Kiwami? Memes aside I'm really wondering if people have issues with it.

>>377161412
nope, stop your shilling

Both Kiwami and 6 are trash, with 6 being worse.

>>377162409

Botched remake.

Takeshi is barely in 6.

>>377161412
Already preordered

>>377165649
Great, i'll buy them

Kinda surprised at how much fun the idolshit in 5 has been.

>>377166223

Not saying not to buy them, just don't get your hopes up. They're nowhere near as good as Zero.

>>377166515
Not him but honestly that's fine. I like Yakuza enough that a weaker game isn't going to mean I don't still enjoy it.

>>377161412
It's £25, of course I'll get it

>>377161412
pre-ordered on amazon weeks ago, can't wait even if it isn't as good as 0.

>>377163072
Name one thing it does worse than the original, Goro fights don't count

>>377166515
That didn't really stop me from enjoying all the other games either

>>377166590

Kiwami just has terrible music and boss fights. You're forced to lose to Majima early on, and he is doesn't feel like a mysterious threat like he did in the first game. He's treated like an annoying ass clown who keeps popping up.

You don't feel like the dragon of dojima, you feel like a chump as you did in zero.

6 is just 3 all over again except Hanuka gets ducked. 6 is also shorter than 3.

>>377161412
0 was my first and made me a believer, so yes.

Playing Yakuza 0 as my first Yakuza game right now, not very far in yet, I just did the first boss fight against Kuze

I'm loving it so far, everything about this game is cool as shit

Is it worth playing the rest of the series after, and is the gameplay really that much worse than 0 in them

>>377166776


He's in like 4-5 scenes.

>>377166719

Boss fights.

6 was already confirmed for localization.

I hope they announce Ishin this E3

Literally the same in most games, Yakuza 0 introduced multiple styles instead of having one huge style

>>377167332

lmao

Of course I will, the game is $30

>>377161412

No you don't. 6 is already being localized regardless of Kiwami sales.

>>377167158
>Is it worth playing the rest of the series after, and is the gameplay really that much worse than 0 in them
Yes and it's different. You have to understand that 0 is a culmination of years of them trying different things and adding new stuff all the time. Tons of the Heat actions you get even in 2 and 3 aren't even seen in 1 (Though Kiwami should have them), all the Red Heat stuff isn't introduced until 3 along with the Essence of Fear, you couldn't even reliably backhand or backkick people (Where you press away from you + attack and do that swift hit in the middle of a combo) until 3 or 4, in 2 you could do it but it was still very iffy. There's also less Weapon Heat actions, for example in 0 the tea kettle has a unique Heat action but even all the way to 4 (Don't know about 5) it just uses the generic small weapon one where you keep smacking the guy over the head with the weapon.

The general gameplay is the same regarding punching, kicking, and Heat stuff, but the amount of variation increases as the games go on. Style changing was only a thing in Kenzan and Ishin and 0 was the first time it was actually used how it was. In the other games Kiryu had one style and one style only, you just had a massive array of Heat actions you learn as the games progressed via Revelations and Komaki.

I've always been interested in the series but never got around to starting from 1. Then i heard 0 was a good starting point. Loved the shit out of the game.

I would play the shit out of the whole series before K releases, but 1 and 2 are impossible to get since its ps2 and 3 isnt in psn.

This series is so insanely overrated. Out of almost a dozen games, it only has 2 good entries.

>>377167851
Did you end up finishing 4 yet?

>>377168431
Yep, a couple days ago, Dead Souls tomorrow though I'm worried about that framerate and 100% on Dead Souls mode sounds like it's going to be rough.

>>377161412
I don't own a PS4 yet. Still buying it when it comes over.
Yakuza games on PC when?

>>377168251
>2 good entries
>Yakuza 2,isshin, 0

Kek, gotta love how everyone suddenly starts disliking the series

>>377168517
Nice. Working my way through 5. Aside from most of the second chapter, I've really liked it.

>>377161412
Anyone know if Yakuza 6 will have steelbook?

>>377169391

Not counting Ishin as it isn't localized, and the gun ruins the entire game.

>>377169836
Probably. 3, 4, 0 and Kiwami had steelbooks

>play as a member of a Japanese crime organizations

Explain why I should be playing as bad guys?

It's not as good as people let on, honestly.

1 is a clunky mess.
2 is decent.

3,4,5 are all bad games.

Zero is decent.

Japanese people only play on consoles.

>>377170373
But they were, you couldn't get the business edition in EU

>>377170006
Sony funded localizations for some of them, it would be counterintuitive for them to release on a competing platform.

>>377169996
I've only played Zero and I have no why those guys want to be yakuza. Seems like everybody just wants to fuck you over. On the other hand, real estate and cabarets seem like great career options.

>>377170492
One of them.

>>377170581
Sony funded Yakuza 5 and even offered some translators for localizing 0. Dunno about Kiwami.

>>377170339

I don't hate anything. Many of the games in the series just aren't that great. It's fans just think it's the Jesus Christ of video games, and it annoys the shit out of me.

>>377170430
Proof they were? At the time I heard nothing of the sort and even now trying to reseaarch anything I only see the UK and AU getting them

How's Akiyama's chapter? He's my new favorite character, especially after the Hana returns epilogue scene. Also, is the enemy spawn rate really as bad as people were complaining about? I feel like 6 is bordering on excessive since there's like two basically around every corner but it's still tolerable there.

>>377170185
>We will never have a Zach prequel game.

One can only hope.

>>377170430
4 is not a steelbook in the US, only PAL regions got 4 and Dead Souls in steelbook form. 0 was never a steelbook according to Google, it just comes with a steel business card holder with the Business Edition. Kiwami is the first time we get a steelbook for Yakuza in the US. I'm not sure if 3 had a steelbook in PAL either.

>>377171423

How about you go on a quest to kill yourself, you illiterate retard.

>>377171573
Oh, so you were just shitposting all along. Who'd see that one coming?

>>377171456

Akiyama's chapter is cut in half to make way for Haruka's garbage.

>>377161412
they already said they're bringing over yakuza 6

>>377171456
I see no proof Yakuza 3 ever had a steelbook at least outside japan. Wish 6 had a steelbook

nothing in that picture points to a PC release

if anything Yakuza falls under revival of major IPs

>>377171795
Yeah because Yakuza 6 and Persona 5 both had their last game in 2016. It's obvious that both of those fall under "revival of major IPs".

That hasn't stopped them from localizing the games for the PS4 in the first place.

Bear in mind that Sega considers sales of PC games at sub-20 dollars to be profitable, and they consider five digit sales of niche console games good. Porting shouldn't be that big of an issue, especially since the two pieces of hardware are so similar in the end. We're not porting to the NES.

>>377170982
I can confirm no Business Edition in AU.

But Dead souls had a steelbook, too.

>>377171984
>That hasn't stopped them from localizing the games for the PS4 in the first place
Actually it did for a very long time.
They only started localizing again after Yakuza 4 because Sony offered them money.

>>377161412
No because the Yakuza games are mediocre.

>>377170658
It'll probably become Asia only english where we get horrible Singapore English

>>377171916

You really are an illiterate retard.

>>377172121
How do you know

>>377172110
Atlus is also a contributor to all of this.

However, while 0 had Atus localizing the game, Deep Silver is localizing Kiwami to the best of the my knowledge.

>>377172253
>"wah wah please don't make my exclusive toy multiplat because it loses imaginary value for me"

No, you're just trying to bend reality so you feel less shitty about yourself.

>>377171916

Yes, they're been talking about reviving Yakuza in the west for a while now. This is why they're bothering releasing Zero. Kiwami, and 6.

>>377172612
Why are you completely ignoring persona 5? Yakuza has been getting games in the west pretty frequently aswell.

>>377172467

You're an idiot. I couldn't care less if Yakuza comes to PC or not. I've already emulated 1 and 2, and they were nothing special.

>>377172719
k

>>377171456
Haven't gotten to do a lot of Akiyama's stuff yet, most of chapter 3 is focused on Haruka. It doesn't seem like the encounter rate is that bad, though there have been a few cases where two are practically on top of each other.

>>377172702

Because Persona hasn't had a mainline title for 9 years.

>>377171456
Akiyama shares POV duties with Haruka but has enough side-content to make up for it. His combat is also a lot better this time around, with a larger focus on speed and juggling.

>>377172763
>>377172837
A bit of a shame. He felt fun to use in 4 and had some really fun Heat moves (The downed full force kick to the face is so satisfying every time) so I don't really see what needed to be improved really, but now you've got me wanting to play it more.

>>377172762

Sorry to make you butthurt. Your poor man's Shenmue is nothing special.

>>377172816
The last Persona game before 5 came out in 2015. It's part of the IP. Persona didn't need revival because the IP still got games.

Playing it at 10-15 fps is pure suffering.

I'm on the last part of Yakuza 4, what should I expect with Kiryus part and going into Yakuza 5?

>>377173189

I said mainline entry, you illiterate retard.

>>377173238
Kiryu's entire part is great. The story is hilariously insane once you get back to Kamurocho, he has some great fights, and as soon as you start as him you will feel like a massive weight has been lifted because you move like a speed demon with your attacks compared to everyone else. Make sure you equip Tanimura with anti-gun armor in the final chapter and bring a couple Staminans or Toughnesses because his is the most annoying fight out of the lot.

>>377161412
Don't worry, I have every intention of getting it day 1.

>>377175118

I don't get it.

Friendly reminder for those who want to complete Y5 before new game+, it won't carry over from premium adventure; you have to complete it all in the story mode before you finish the game. The point of no return is chapter 1 in the finale with Haruka. Also her inventory doesn't combine when everyone else's does so be careful about opening lockers with her.

>>377175352
"Console Exclusive" has been a fancy way for companies to say "it will only be on console A and not console B, but it will also be on PC". One such game to use this badge is SFV, where it is console exclusive to the PS4 but can also be played on PC.

Sega has been porting a few of their older games to PC in the past few years, and mentioned that PC was profitable.
