Yakuza 1

Also combat felt a little bare bones towards the end

>Shitty camera
From 3 onwards the series shifts to a behind-the-shoulder camera as opposed to the fixed angles of the first two games. Honestly I prefer the latter, but each to his own.

You can just avoid the encounters.

have you played ishin and kenzan in japanese? Will i be able to without any language knowledge?

>>384681884
Yakuza 2 is a major improvement over the first.
And with Y3 everything except story gets improved.
The series generally gets better and better with each entry in every way other than story after Y2.
Exception is that Y4 and Y5 have better than Y3 but not by much and Y0 is on par with Y2 in story and top tier in gameplay, peak of the series.
Y6 is an abomination.

>not getting the steelbook
what are you doing?

>>384683050
it's incredibly unlikely, although SEGA's reasons for it are pretty fucking flimsy. Most recently the reason was 'baka gaijin won't understand it' and 'it's not about the yakuza' which is technically true but it's not like anyone would give a shit if they called it a spin off. Maybe if they ever do bring the whole series over to a single console like they said they wanted to, we could possibly get them then.

Reminder that if you ever reccomended someone start the series with 0 you're doing them a disservice and need to stop.
>>384682870
Fully agree with this.

>>384683240
Ok ty. When i will import them once i'm done with main games

>>384683314
I guess I'm a disgrace because thats where I'm currently starting.

>>384683493
Stop before it's too late. Play in release order.

reminder that release order is the only way to play these games. You're missing almost half the game's references in yakuza 0 if you haven't played the other games

>>384683493
Op here
I don't know anything about Y0 but Y1 is totaly worth playing. And it emulates pretty well. Would make sence to play it before the prequel

Kenzan has a fantranslation going on, just super saiyan.

Fair enough then, hard to tell.
I'm just sick and tired of people starting various games, not just Yakuza, from the "newest, shiniest" entry like little children because that's what little children do, go for the newest shiny toy even if it isn't actually better or makes sense to go for it without having the previous ones.

Retards starting MGS with MGS5, Yakuza with Y5 (back when it finally came out in the west) or Y0, Baldur's fucking Gate with the second game and so on. Shit drives me mad.

>>384684378
Your loss. Experiencing Y2 via the flashback in Y4 doesn't do it justice.

>>384684505
You know, I understand skipping the MSX games, I really do, there's a point where most people won't bother because the game is that old and I think the MSX games fall into that category, even I found them rather painful to play through, at least the first one. The second was more or less 2D MGS1 without map scrolling (biggest issue with MSX really, it can't do scrolling) so that was more bearable.

But yeah fuck guys like >>384684258 and >>384684378 Especially the second retard claiming "it worked out great" when he misses literally all the callbacks and has no attachment to the returning characters.

>>384684723
It's inevitable. Stay in these threads long enough and you'll see it happen.

>>384684723
Every Yakuza thread on /v/ has some retard telling people to start at 0 or 4.
4 is actually the less retarded option of the two due to relying less on knowledge of what happens in other games.
Half of Y0's enjoyment comes from knowing what happens to all these characters in Y1.

>>384681884
I playing through it atm, only at chapter 4 so far but I'm finding the combat a little clunky, mainly I use the lock on button but still find myself punching thin air in group battles.

EXCUSE YOU?

STUPID

>>384685128
Lock on is broken in Y1 and that's a fact.
It gets better in Y2 but doesn't ever truly become decent until Y3.
Y6 Lock on is just as bad as Y1, one of many issues with Y6 and why it's shit.

So I'm playing the Yakuza spin off on PPSSPP and for some reason it crashes on cutscenes saying "display driver has stopped". specifically where the old man wants to show tatsuya he killed someone and the moment someone turns on the tv, it crashes

Anyone know any solutions or why does that happen?

listen up autismo

1) Gameplay>>>>story. Yakuza is a really poor, dated brawler/walking simulator with open-world elements. Its story is extremely thinned out, cliched, and over the top in bad taste. So, Yakuza fails in both aspects anyways
2) Every game should be accessible no matter what because it's a product. Accessibility requires no sacrifice and is easy to achieve, but, apparently, the devs were too lazy to do that. The same goes for story because relying on previous installments for too much is a bad thing in itself. "Newest, shiniest entry" by definition should bring new people into the franchise and accustom them, which Yakuza fails to do, again
3) If you think that 'character attachment' is a thing, you should just acknowledge the fact that you're a retarded fanboy.

TL;DR: Everything you like is shit

apparently trying to make it more physics based and interactive. The webm's I've posted were from the demo, where you can't get any moves but honestly it just feels pretty bad to play.

the story is pants on head retarded and a bunch of kamurocho is blocked off for no good reason. There's no arena, the framerate/resolution are dropped and it runs like shit on the base ps4. The clan battles are kinda boring because you don't actually fight in them.

the new engine makes things feel floaty for some reason. The dragon engine doesn't seem necessary at all, and I feel like this game would have been vastly improved if they'd done it on the 5/ishin/0/kiwami engine, which still looked just fine and dropping ps3 support would have meant they could up the textures from the shitty ones we got.

>>384687582
Mother fucker I don't have time to go back and play yakuza 1,2, and 3 before I even think about it playing some of the new ones. 4 was clearly intended for newcomers and OGs alike. It started the story with 3 new characters that have never been in the yakuza series before, it had a fucking series recap because even the devs understand that that's A LOT of game to get through.

Look yeah in an ideal world I would have loved to go back and play the ps2 games but I just don't have time for that, so 4 worked as a great starting point for me.

It's already out and people diagree.
2 is by and large agreed to have the better plot and characters in the series and every other game has used 2's combat and lock-on as a baseline anyways.
>ultimately unimportant in the grand scheme of things
That's like saying Silent Hill 2 isn't the best because it's ultimately unimportant to the main mythos.

So is Kiwami just a remake of 1 but with 0's mechanics and engine? I thought they already remade 1 for the PS3 with HD graphics or something

>So is Kiwami just a remake of 1 but with 0's mechanics and engine?
Yes.
>I thought they already remade 1 for the PS3 with HD graphics or something
That's called a remaster and yes they did. It's the PS2 games running at a higher resolution with very little else changed.

>>384690898
>It's already out and people diagree.

They're nostalgia fags. 1 being dub only should be reason enough to disregard it.

Bought Yakuza 0 on sale and realised I got 5 for free ages ago so I've been rushing it, almost done in a week. Do the earlier games have less cutscenes? I was kind of expecting a beat em up, though I really like the setting and cinematics

Ben Moore asked them about Ishin and Kenzan at E3 while he was checking out the Kiwami demo.

They said it was due to how far behind the west is when it comes to the Yakuza franchise. They're fairly surprised at the following the franchise gets over here so they're trying to please western fans as much as they can by getting the mainline titles out but they're worried about "oversaturating" us with releases if they were to release all of the side titles at once.

It was kind of a non-answer that could either be taken as them waiting until the west is caught up with Japan on mainline titles and they'll think about it after Kiwami is released OR it could be taken as them having no plans whatsoever. It's hard to say just because the west is so consistently behind with every release so maybe, just maybe we will get them eventually but not they'll come after Japan has already had them for a few years.

It came out literally a month later nerd. It's perfectly easy to believe he picked up both games around the same time. Also he's right. Yakuza 1 was clunky when it came out and I don't believe in the "games age" meme. It was just always clunky.

God Hand shits all over Yakuza in terms of combat, but the way you phrased your sentence made no sense. You said you played it upon release. A game like Yakuza wouldn't take long to even 100% and fight Amon. I doubt you played it for a whole month and "went back" to God Hand.

So I recently started Yakuza 0 and I find it really fun but it's so easy to break it.

I've played every numbered yakuza except 2 and never found such an efficient grinding method that is Mr.Shakedown.

I'm in chapter 6 and I'm almost done with Kiryu's real estate side story. I'm literally sitting here now waiting for my collections to roll in so I can hit the percentage threshold to take on the Media King.

Can't wait for Kiwami to sidestep the issue of upgrades tied to money.

I think he legitimately snapped dude. He can control it at times like meeting Akiyama during 4's boss fight with his underling, but he just wants to uphold his Mad Dog image to keep his position. I think he gets super serious when he needs to, like trying to find Saijima's little sister.

>>384695314
Only 1 and 2, no PS3 or 4. Planning to get on it and beat 3 and the rest.

I know there are hints he's not exactly insane in Yakuza 4 or 5, for example, but come on.

>>384695474
in yakuza 2 he sacrifices himself for kamurocho

>>384695474

It's due to trauma. It affects his interactions with people, and he feels the need to uphold his crazy image. He's still a damn fine business man besides the fact who can be serious. Think of it as a crazy drug fueled mix of autism and ADD.

Yeah, 0's skill system was kind of busted and resulted in money becoming pretty trivial. Like, it was never a major hurdle in other games but tying it to the XP while still using typical XP numbers forced them to hand you so much cash all of the time to the point where items and shit effectively felt free since it would never put a dent in your pockets to buy something.

The only exceptions would be the real estate and cabaret purchases but Shakedown grinding trivialized that pretty quickly as well as gaining skills.

You can finish Kenzan's main story with the KHHSubs video walkthrough. Anything besides that it's tons of Japanese guides, ThePatrick's guide (Don't use the swords section, it's almost entirely worthless as you have absolutely no idea what sword is what since he doesn't list any of the Kanji), and a lot of patience. Amon is worth the hassle though, he's by far the hardest one and the most fun one (At least up until as far as I've played).

If I remember correctly, in Y1 you could just grind the encounters until the thugs stopped spawning to prevent you from leveling up too much. If you do it right then you get minimal amount or no thugs at all outside of the missions because you were always near or at the level the game stops spawning them.

I played the jap version so not sure if that's the case with us version.

I've emulated 1&2 but still haven't played 3,4,5,6,0, or the other spinoffs. How soon till rpcs3 can emulate Yakuza 3?

So what do you guys think the new announcement is?

Kiwami 2, 7, or another spin-off?

>>384703067
Nagoshi said not to expect new yakuza specific news until two months after june, so I doubt we'll see anything yet

>>384703067

>>384703067
The key word for the new title is "chinpira", right? I expect a game not unlike that Black Panther PSP spin-off.

Well that's convenient, just started playing first game. Though i'm probably near the end already. Why Majima is the only one with interesting bossfight? Others are just so boring.

>>384703873
Is it gonna be about underlings and shit? If so, that'd be hype as fuck.

>>384698067
What did they change about it in Kiwami? I know he's just a boring gun guy like the one you fight earlier, but the SWAT team are cool. When I blew them away with that shotgun I was saving up it felt pretty incredible.

I hope so. Kiryu deserves a fucking break.

>>384694629
If you wanna get more money off Mr. Shakedown, make as much as you can from real estate, save up completion points and buy Mr. Shakedown Carries More Money at the shrine so when you fight him next let him beat you then go get the money back and you'll have twice as much. And just repeat that method, and keep using payouts from real estate to boost cash flow. Complete all the easy sidequests and spend to completion points on unlocking all your skills to their fullest and level Dragon up to 100.

Also you can buy a dozen Zap Guns that takes him down in a under a minute.

>>384681884
Why didn't you just wait a month and play Kiwami instead?

kiwami kiryu looks great, but he's got this problem where his face is in a frown all the time. I think this was because when they rigged all the new models to the ps2 animations they didn't change his face rigging, so he has the exact same face the entire time
ps2 kiryu still the best kiryu though

>>384705719

no different from his zero face

Nope. 0 is the only good game in the series.

Ignore the autists. I started with 0, immediately played 1 and 2 afterwards and had a great time. Do what you want, you'll be fine.

>>384711003
>>384711121

what makes it good is similarities

>>384693079
Yup, check out Kabukicho in google street view. if you've played a lot, you can easily find the landmarks.

Are the PSP games any good?

>>384712390
they've got this weird camera that gets really fucking close on the action during fights. They also weren't created by nagoshi's team so I'm not sure how great the story is. The soundtrack seems kinda neat though

>>384697556
I played them with a wireless 360 controller, only had trouble with the R2 mashing.

>>384683314
I played 0 as my first entry then played through the whole series in release order over the course of 3 months

>>384711003
I feel like they are actually going to localize it later next year after 6. From what I've been hearing it could be they make a big announcement later this year at one of those Sony game events like they did when they announced 0, Kiwami and 6 for NA

>>384712390

Yakuza 2 is an improvement over the first game in all respects, get to it man. It's a genuine masterpiece.

DON'T DO IT PLEASE

>>384693662
I don't suppose you know what song plays during the cutscene where kiryu gets stabbed? I can't find it on the soundtrack

Did the reprint actually raise the aftermarket price of 3? I can't find it for less than $40, I'm sure it was like half that before.

I bit the bullet on buying 2 for $100 just a month or two before the reprint brought the price down, now that I want to buy 3 it seems to have gone up.

is there any way to fix the ridiculous blur and ghosting in yakuza 2 on pcsx2?

>>384718524
3 has always been all over the place, sometimes it was $20, other times it was $50-60, the reprint just seems to have stabilized the price. 4 seems to be stuck at $40 for at least a couple years now, and Dead Souls is always like $10-20 (Though this didn't get a reprint).

>>384718828
Yes: either switch to software mode during cutscenes or play the EU version which doesn't have this issue.
