HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
so is it just a remake of yakuza 2 then?
>>388228290
Oh boi.
I'm new to the series, just started Yakuza 0
Knowing I can play Kiwami 1 and then 2 after it is just amazing.
Great time to try this series.
PUNCHING THE TIGER IN HD MADAFACKAS
>>388228562
play 3-5 once you're done with kiwami 2?
>>388228737
I have PS3 that I bought for a cheap from friend, it's dusting somewhere so yeah I will do that.
I think I have Yakuza 4 from PS+, not sure bout 5.
But 3rd one I will have to buy.
>>388228963
you're a cool anon. not alot of people play them ever since 0 came out
This only thing I wonder is that if they really gonna use 6's engine for this. I hope it's better improved.
Also praying that Kiryu has his proper fighting style in it. As opposed to the weird amalgamation of styles in 6.
I'm surprised the Kiwami remakes has divided some fans. The remixes are nowhere near as good as the original soundtracks but at least Kiwami seemed to do a good job of fixing the original's combat and the fixed camera angle transitions.
>>388229096
it should be an improved version of 6 since kiwami is 60 FPS with 0's engine
>>388229075
Like I said, I'm new to the series so I want to play all of them. Always wanted to try this series, was even thinking bout emulating.
I heard Yakuza 0 is Magnum Opus but I still want to play all of them.
>>388229145
2's combat isn't even clunky. it's a step up from 1's in every single way.
>>388229250
got a PS2? if you do, try Y1-2, if you like them, then you can move onto 3 and so on.
if not, wait for Kiwami 1 and 2
>>388229347
I will buy Kiwami 1 and 2 and emulate orginal ones eventually/
>>388229416
just a heads up, Y1 will feel like shit playing along with a bad dub but Y2 improves in every single way
>>388228290
Like A Dragon 2: Kiwami 2
>>388229484
There is no way to emulate Y1 with japanese VA?
>>388229462
da fuq
>>388229571
there is, i think
PC?
>>388229462
shit taste there namefag
>>388229145
Story and cutscenes weren't improved.
And the story, while fun, could use some work. Not to mention PS2 animations.
But the most glaring things are the bosses and overall gamedesign, which ranges from okay to "what the fuck were they thinking" (chapter 9).
Also Kiwami managed to make bosses boring regenerating sponges (almost all of them can regenerate 2 times during battle!) and Majima annoying as hell.
It's a solid game, but one of the worst in the series when it comes to quality. Sure, it is better than the original, no shit. But it isn't really an achievement.

>>388230221
>since Kiwami was a cheap cashgrab and Kiwami 2 uses 6's shitty engine,
Okay i need an explanation on both of these statements
Damn I don't want to wait until Kiwami 2 release to fully get into this series.
Should I just emulate 2?
>>388230027
Never played Yakuza games. This shit is $23. Should I get it? Does it do the original game justice?
KUZEEEEEEEEE
>>388230363
do it, its the second best game in the series
I don't read slope.
What is this?
Should I start with Zero or Kiwami 1?
>>388230370
If you're on the fence and want a cheap way of getting into the series, play Kiwami. I personally got into the entire series by emulating the originals on PS2 last year, and it holds up fine if you go into the series with no expectations, but if you're the kind of person that finds PS2 games hard to stomach, give Kiwami a go.
>Yakuza Kenzan! and Ishin! fucking never
>>388230706
Yakuza 1 or 2
WAIT, ISN'T THE STREAM TOMORROW? WHAT'S GOING ON??
>>388230807
Why would I play 1 over Kiwami 1?
>>388230862
Kiwami 2 got leaked on PSN
>>388230350
Kiwami is just cheap. Yakuza games always reuse assets, but here SEGA just went overboard. They recorded new voicelines, but overall it feels like a add-on from 90s. Like Spear of Destiny for Wolfenstein 3D. With less content.
And according to today's leak, Kiwami 2 uses Dragon Engine - engine that was first used in Yakuza 6. While somewhat impressive, it looks weird and perfomance is all over the place on regular PS4.
might dust off my ps3 and play 3 through 5
>>388230934
your choice, buddy
yakuza 1 i understand, but 2 is required to play. its a fucking masterpiece
>>388230934
Not him, but the series gets continuously better over time. If you jump into 0 or Kiwami, you'll no doubt experience the pinnacle of the combat system in the series, but it will likely make going back to replay older titles difficult. This is assuming you're the kind of person that jumps into newer releases in a series and has a hard time going back to play the originals.
>>388230957
Thanks, the dragon engine for kiwami 2 is a weird choice though i'd love to have a full 1080 60fps for it
>>388230956
Holy fuck, Kiwami came in the mail and now this?! God, this really is an amazing year to be a Yakuza fan. I want to smooch Nagoshi on his orange head.
>>388228290
Has the stream happened yet?
>>388231095
>>388231040
Isn't Kiwami just a remake of Yakuza 1? If they're also doing Kiwami 2 Could I not just continue the trend of playing the remakes or am I missing something?
>>388231231
The localized version came in the mail? How did they fuck up and send it so early?
>>388231341
bunch of dudes in UAE always gets games a few days early.
>>388231241
I think it's happening soon in Japan time.
>>388231289
It is, but with some series it's preferred you go in release order, and I can understand why people feel that way with the series since the series gets continuously better. This is also because some people like the charming PS2 graphics as opposed to the remakes, and because Kiwami uses a lot of assets from the other games.
>>388228290
Don't waste your time playing Yakuza. The kid you're taking care of decides to become a slut in Yakuza 6.
>>388231341
I have no idea, I live in the Netherlands and I got a mail that my game arrived. This always happens over here for some reason, not that I'm complaining.
>>388231472
Ah ok, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything if I played the series that way. I don't have a PS2 and Emulation has always been spotty for me. I'll definitely try and play through em in at least original release order.
Yakuza 2 is so holy it will cleanse the filth out of the Dragon Engine and raise it to its true greatness
>tfw Y2 manages to be the best game in the series TWICE
>>388231996

>>388228290
We saw it coming yet I'm still hyped as fuck.
>>388231996
>change the twists in the game
>instead of everyone being korean everyone's chinese now
So why does /v/ hate 6 so much?
>>388232172
not /v/, EVERYONE, including japs.
besides the horrible plot, it has a very floaty combat system and it drops below 15 FPS. oh and it has lower content than kiwami so that's a fucking disgrace for kiryu's final game
>Kiwami has 82 on metacritic
woah
>>388231231
Is Alex best boi or is it Trevor?
>People that played Yakuza 0 only are calling spoilers when people bring up Kiwami's story being about Nishiki's downfall
I feel so bad for them, they never felt what people who played Yakuza 1 did with 0.
>>388232172
6 uses a new engine which removes loadtimes entering buildings or leaving battles which is impressive, but its unfinished in its debut game. Some parts of Kamurocho are also inaccessible in 6, and blocked behind lazy barriers. Also because 6 has performance problems on base ps4s and the story continues on from the clusterfuck of 5's ending.
>>388228562
Did they put Hosei in the game in Y0 as the host of the chain izakaya restaurants?
>>388232172
It felt incomplete and rushed. It also removed most of the features in the previous Yakuza games.
Here's hoping that Yakuza 7 return the multiple characters like in 4 and 5.

Looking forward to that dubstep remix.
I wonder if they'll still sample Wu Tang Clan's "NIGGAZ ON THE LEFT" in Blockhead Boy.

>>388228554

>>388233345
6 didn't even have full Kamarucho like 1 or 2 did, surely Kiwami 2 will have the full map right?
Surely they won't use that combat from 6 right?
And they will make sure it runs in 60 fps?
>>388230934
Because they aren't the same thing. you COULD play REmake instead of the orginal Resident Evil too, but why bother when you can get around to it in release order and apreciate it far more?
>>388231572
Yeah SO? Some of vidyas very best girls are canon sluts. Have safe sex with fun people more often anon, jeez.
>>388230027
No.
I still have fresh memories from Y1 so i have no urge to play Kiwami.
I'm also peniless
>>388228290
>using the Yakuza 6 engine
>dem graphics
>ragdoll combat
muh
so it uses the yakuza 6 engine. Holy fuck I hate when devs do a remake and don't give you the 60 fps experience. going from 0 on ps4 to 5 on ps3 it's just less enjoyable in combat.

Yes. This will be my first Yakuza game. Was going to emulate but decided to wait it out. My copy got dispatched today and will arrive tomorrow. Very excited to get into the series.
>>388232794
Fuck if I know my man.
Would be awsome if they did.
>>388230027
Oh yeah. Hooked up the PS2 to replay some more of the original before Kiwami launches.
>>388233190
I stopped watching like 1,5month ago.
The day the left the house just doesn't feel the same.
>>388234684
I hope that ragdoll combat gets tuned, in 6 they were flying around like pieces of garbage, while fun when roaming in the city the boss fights were terrible since you just landed 2 punches on the boss and you need to wait for him to stand up 100x times during a battle.
>>388234856
Holy fuck, it's you again! You never fucking told me how you could fix Haruka snitching on Kiryu in 5 for 6?? Please enlighten me!

>Kiryu beats Ryuji

So does Saejima beat Ryuji?
Can Majima beat Ryuji despite losing to both Kiryu and Saejima? (not counting 0 since Ryuji was a kid)
>>388235030
It would be if they actually did. But I swear the host looks exactly like Hosei

>>388234856
Bong actually, and i don't plan on having daughters, just fucking other people's. think about it, having a daughter is the ultimate cucking, you try to instill in her all the virtues you think will make a good woman and what happens? A scumbag just like us can see those virtues and takes her and fucks her good. And she likes it. If you raise a daughter well, you are actually just raising her for a man thats gonna come and fuck her.
>Thanks "dad", i will take GOOD caew of her.
Thats right anons. You're getting cucked and don't even really know it yet.
>kiwami 2
>with the dragon engine
fuck I can't wait for that 900p 22fps experience
I bet they'll fuck up the soundtrack again toothere's rumours that they're adding majima as a playable character, meaning they'll fuck his character even more to have a reason for him to be playable

They fixed Yakuza 2 to be 60 fps when Yakuza 1 run at 30 fps, they can improve it now with Kiwami 2.They won't, the game will be released in december 17th and Yakuza 7 will be released 6 months later
>>388235978
They content is still good and improving but it's just missing that home comfy part.
>>388228290
So, are they planning on ruining the music from 2 as well?
>remake
>ANOTHER yakuza game
literally who cares
>>388231572
That's not even the shitty angle of it
Through 5 & 6 she pretty much permanently ruins Kiryu's life, just by being a complete moron. If she was consistently characterized as a moron I'd sort of understand atleast but they kept pushing how "ahead of her years" she was before those games
>>388236334
Fuck off
>>388236115
That fucking snitch..
>>388236096
I'm gonna stay positive but I'm scared this will be the case again, I'm sure they're gonna improve 6's engine for Kiwami 2 but I'm afraid they're still gonna pump out new games every year even though they've made the step to actually go next gen, they really need to work on these games longer, I wouldn't mind a Yakuza game every 2/2 and a half years as long as the finished product's good. I enjoyed the 6 demo a lot so I'm sure I'll like that game too but they've gotta stop with the yearly schedule.

I'm interested in this series, best way to start? release order? Remake then start from 2, play whatever you feel like playing?
>>388237076
release order.
>>388237076
People who enjoy video games will tell you to play release order or any possible way you can (emulate or play on real hardware)
Kiddies who played the game only because it was marketed with memes and quips and got popular for it will tell you to play only 0 and new released titles like Kiwami 1 and 2.
It is up to you how you want your games to be enjoyed.
>>388237076
If you're interested in the whole series, and not just Kiwami/0, then go with release order. It's pretty nice experiencing the changes they make throughout the series.
>kaoru in hd
i'm excited
IM TOO EXCITED! finally get to hear kaoru's VA again. i'm glad she got some more work to do.
>>388232172
It's my first Yakuza game, and I like it.
I didn't find the story bad, but the fans on the Internet hate it simply for what happened to Haruka in 6, which I don't care because I know almost nothing about her.
The main story itself in 6 is great maybe execpt the last chapter. Lots of cool shit happened in the last few chapters.
What's better in 6 than 0/Kiwami:
Combat is more fluid in 6, you don't feel like being animation locked
Cutscene
Set pieces
All sidequests are voiced
What's worse:
Frame
No different styles and enough moves, so you'll played the same way almost every single fight till the end
No long and cool heat moves
No portable weapons and enough unique weapon heat moves
Half of heat moves are locked behind the heat mode which you have to manually activate, so I end up not using them, because you usually finish normal encounter while accumulating heat.
No roaming hard encounter like shakedown or Majima
You don't get rewarded enough doing minigames and sidequest. You unlock new moves or get equipment having unique ability in 0/kiwami, but you get nothing but EXP and money in 6.
If Kiwami 2 improve the combat variety and fix the fps, then it should be a great game.
>>388238409
>6
>first yakuza
we've hit a new low
>another shit remake
why
I could play it right now, but I jewed and order it from abort because it was slightly cheaper.
BAKA

This
I don't give a fuck about the main series, I just want those feudal japan games.
>>388237262
>>388237339
>>388237368
If a remake tries to keep the same tone as the original and improves it, I wouldn't mind jumping into those and revisting the original later.
But i'll look to see If 1/2 has any copies available round me, if not Kiwami 1, regular 2, onwards since it's not that long with the PS3 era ones (2009 onwards), games seem charming anyway and I don't mind how the PS2 ones look or play anyway.
Thanks.
>>388238409
You forgot to mention in what's worse:
25% map of the Kamarucho is cut, Onomichi is small and empty compared to previous games
No secret moves, unable to train
Unable to upgrade or purchase weapons and equip them, something that has been there since the very first game or upgrading since Y3
No Purgatory meaning you can't fight in the ring
No ufo catcher
Dev promised seamless and more open world, litelarry gives 2 passages through buildings and access to 2 rooftops so you can unlock 4 safes with some shit items
And that also means no locket keys
And no save rooms or item boxes
The main story has few nice moments but over all it was a rather boring mess with the main twist being revealed too early plus it was being foreshadowed in the very beginning of the game.
>>388239087
I like Kiwami but 1's tone is darker, Kiwami is too bright in general and the Majima Anywhere system kind of ruins his character. Plus you'll appreciate the improvements more if you go by release order
>>388239087
>If a remake tries to keep the same tone as the original
Well... Kiwami was reskinned 0 so the tone didn't match at all, the atmosphere and ambience was totally different compared to original Y1.
It's funny how amazing the city sounds and ambience were in 1 and 2 while in later games it just wasn't so great anymore.
>>388236079
Is that a model swap?
Playing Yakuza 1 on PS2 now then I'm gonna play Yakuza 2 on PS2 . Am i doing it wrong ?
>>388239583
No, that's actually the ending of Yakuza 5. Daigo finally gets his shit together and Kiryu lets him accomplish his YUME of becoming an idol.

Muh nigga. You know what elsed did it for me growing up with Yakuza 1 & 2 in the late 2000's? Reading "Tokyo Tribe 2" shit felt like Yakuza was that manga in game form.
Good
Yakuza 2's story and characters are stupidly good
>>388240931
Said no one ever.
>>388240789
Tokyo Tribe's actually based on a manga? I don't know much about it but all I know is that the trailer for the movie was insane and that Riki was in it, might have to give the manga a chance if what you're saying is true.
>>388240789
I've only watched the movie so far, but I lost my shit whenever Riki was on screen. It was quite the trip to watch several Japanese crime films after playing 0. Those Dojima lieutenants keep appearing everywhere.
>>388241409
>Those Dojima lieutenants keep appearing everywhere.
because they're extremely well-known, its like seeing nicolas cage everywhere
>>388239946
I hear that they actually improved the engine for the western version of Y6
Some people on twitter are saying that they were playing Y6 demo on a PS4 slim and it runs perfectly fine (which is weird because we all know that JP version runs like trash on a normal PS4)
>>388230027
yep. arrives the 29th
>>388241534
I'll believe it when I see it but it still won't fix the shit story, shit combat and lack of content.
>>388241662
Story went to shit after Y4 so who cares about it
>>388241310
Damn, am i really so old? Yeah, Manga disn't kick off big time in the UK till like... 2002, and my firsts were Battle Royale and Tokyo Tribe 2 (which the movie is based on) i thought the manga was just a Japanese take on American black ghetto culture at first and had no idea that the Japanese delinquint youth had their own very real gang and hip hop culture until i saw it as enemies in Yakuza 1 & 2. SARU!!
How many bongs until the stream?

You probably aren't anon. Unless Yakuza 0 is really the best selling game of the series and you are all underage. Playing Yakuza 1 & 2 wasn't "hard" you literally just needed a PS2 in the mid to late 2000's, they were marketed well before Yakuza 3. You would know that though, if you had a PS2 in the 2000's.

this has to be it. it's no coincidence that Kiwami 2 is happening along with a new mainline yakuza game

Excluding the obvious Yakuza 7, could be another Ishin/Kenzan spin off, Binary Domain 2 or a new IP.

The thing it's not as you remember it from Y2-5, but Y1. And really, you can't even do 3 times Square rush combo after you get from prison. You're locked to 2 sqaure rush with finishing blow. Really Brawler is way superior early in the game. Also DoD double finishing blow works only in Heat mode.

>>388243736
The entire Yakuza series has been using real actors since 4.
>>388244465
That chick was retarded in 4 and also her actress looks better
>>388244465
I'm talking about remasters/rereleases, you'd have to pay the actors AGAIN. That's why Onimusha is never gonna get a rerelease.

I'm not too familiar with the actors in Black Panther, but I do know all the cutscenes are illustrated, and I kinda doubt they'd get a whole bunch of big time actors for just some PSP games. Though, there was a live action Black Panther TV show, so maybe they share actors.
>>388244951
Reverse order it is
>>388244881
Yes, don't let autistic morons like >>388244951 trick you. Even Sega considers it a good starting point and reprinted the old games for the newbie boom.
Wow another boring Yakuza game, thanks Sega, its not like you have any other good IPs people could be working on.

>>388244881
Would you rather eat a slightly and warm 2 year old reheated pizza first and when your stomach is full being forced to eat a bunch of 10 year old cold pizzas?
Or would you rather eat the all those cold pizzas first as they slowly get warmer and tastier by each one you eat and in the end you get the best one that is both fun, tasty and hot to consume since they release those every year?
The choice is up to you!
>>388245659
We get it, you keep posting this. We get it, the soundtrack is gonna be butchered. Hey buddy, pal? We get it.
>>388245659
iirc the singer for the end credits christmas song is dead.
>>388245624
He cant announce a new F-Zero without Nintendo's consent though, at best you could hope for a new Super Monkey Ball
>>388228737
by the time hes done 3-5 would have been released/announced
>>388245624
He meant Monkey Ball, last time he put RGG on something different then sony it sold 5.000 copies.Still RGG1&2 HD would be good on Switch
>>388245668
I'll take the hot pizza and later maybe i'll just have something else rather than moldy old crusts.

>not being an newfag with only the current gen makes you an autisitc moron somehow

>>388246010
>5000 copies
Yikes, no wonder they don't want to go multi platform..
>>388245873
Doesn't matter, they always make new opening and ending themes for each game, same happened with Kiwami 1
>>388245407
You are a fucking ass m8, Yakuza 2 is the best fucking one. Fuck off.
>>388245864
Every day until you agree
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-ZRsSposHA
Am I making a mistake by starting this series with Kiwami 1? You guys making it sound like its a mistake by starting with the remake.
Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy that you casual newfag plebs FINALLY gave the series the jolt it needed to take off in the west, but goddamn the amount of plebs in Yakuza threads increased by tenfold.
Still, I forgive you, it means I get more Yakuza games in the west and fanbase matters little to me.
>>388246116
I also heard the WiiU version of 1+2HD was worse than the PS3 version
>>388246116
That was only because Sega singed some deal with Nintendo on Wii U 3rd party support and RGG studio was forced to port it.
Thinking of it now, Yakuza portable collection with Y1, Y2 and Kurohyo 1&2 enhanced ports would be nice for the Switch.
>>388246238

>>388246584
Or people are tired of the elitist morons who keep shitting on people who don't want to play a game that aged like milk. Y1 is a chore to replay these days.
>>388246225
I'm still fucking mad this was cut from the western released despite NOT being a fucking licensed song.
Also all those amazing licensed songs that were in PS2 Yakuza 2 will be gutted from the remake's western release, I hope you realize that.
That's why I'm hoping that they get ported to PC or that PS4 gets hacked, so I can restore the licensed music.
>>388246238
No, it's just stupid, why would you play a newer game and then force yourself to paly older one to know more about the story.
Not only that but you will not see the progression the series made in over a decade.
Every game has it's own fun and the substories were the best in the first 3 games, plus 3 and 5 has shit ton of content next to 0 while Kiwami is reskinned 0 with less content then newer titles.
Yakuza is a story heavy game and the gameplay just started to improve with 0 just so it can get get shitty again with 6.
But in the end it is your choice if you want to play less games, or only games approved by normal-fags just because they got hip and cool now.
>>388246436
>no reason to play half life! Black messa exists!

sure there is, as the other guy said you can more appreciate the changes and get a fuller story. personally i don't care for story so i just want the best possibly gameplay. then if i want to go back i will, if not there is no shortage of games i want to play.

That's genuinely what I'm hoping for.
1 and 2 remakes + 3-5 HD remasters for PS4 and PC. Also restore 3's cut content while they're at it.Switch and Xbone need not apply.
>>388246487
ya think? just fucking use 4chan X and run ID script
dumb newfags
>>388247403
Y1 is fucking awkward to play blindly too. If not for the way better music, I'd recommend Kiwami over it every time.
>>388247531
OH SHIT
>>388247506
well in that case my reason is my time is limited so i'm going to focus on the best games. i appreciate your insight though.

>>388246584
>>388246742
This is a video game board for fans of video games.
Saying that older games of the same series like Yakuza are shit is ironic and idiotic to say simply because yakuza series has virtually the same gameplay in every fucking game.
The gameplay and graphics change so slow each release that if Devil May Cry 3 would be numbered the same way as Yakuza series it would be DMC 14 because that's how many games it took the studio to improve the gameplay on that level.
Not only that but you are missing out tons of content in the older games, be it sub stories or mini-games.
Just because you hate PS2 and games for it because they are old now doesn't make Y1 and 2 objectivly shit and bad when 3,4,5 is just has graphical advantage and few new moves and tweaks here and there.
The real difference starts with Ishin on PS4, 0 is reskinned and tweaked with hands-only combat and Kiwami is just a quick cash grab that makes it soulless compared to original game.
If he doesn't care which game to play then why even ask if everyone is so defensive about playing old games?
For all I care he might play Y6 and be done with the series.
>>388247220
Will people even like it? Beat-em-ups are not really that popular

Id agree afterwards sure, fuck id say Yakuza 2 ia slow by comparison after 3 came out, but if he CAN and has never played Yakuza before, fuck it, start with release order. If he hates 1, ge won't magically like 0

>>388249782
exclusives are all they have. underpowered hardware. no mod support. PAID ONLINE.
so they only have exclusives which the cucks are losing one by one
If Yakuza ends up on pc it will really be over. I hope sega has it in their hearts after sony helped them localize the titles and their dedicated fans bought their games to not go that route to a group that never spent a cent on them.
>>388248271
In Japan.
why are shitposters so hellbent on destroying yakuza series? first they make multiple posts of themselves saying start at 0, then replies to themselves like>>388247531 and right after that post, they resort to injecting console-war shitposts as a last resort
what's the fucking problem? did a yakuza rape their mother or something?

And you need to understand that you can't force your opinions on people.
What if people get turned off by the old graphics and voice acting? Then what? Let them make their own decision rather than forcing it on them.
You seriously can't be that bothered by this.
>>388249579
I can literally see the stab scene in my head
Who cares about rehash 1, Yakuza 6 and now Rehash 2.
WHERE IS MY FUCKING YAKUZA ISHIN IN ENGRISH SEGA.
I'm sick of Tokyo at this point. With all the jerking off for the chinise, I hope we get a part of the story in Hong Kong to explore something new.
>>388250920
No one is forcing anyone?
Guy asked for recommendation, fans of the series recommend what they think is best.
If the guy doesn't like it then........ he will simply not play it because it's his choice.
It's just a discussion and some people are thinking of those old games like someone is forcing them to become slaves or something and have 100 years of despair, torture and hard work.
>>388251010
>I hope we get a part of the story in Hong Kong to explore something new.
It's called Sleeping Dogs and is legitimately amazing.
>>388250602
Not him but I like discussing stuff with other people. When a PC port is announced that is thrown out the window, at least for a few months.
Either way, I'm sure some of you were here when some literal who site reported a rumor that Y0 was coming to PC last year. We had 2 threads of 500+ shitposts before it was reported to be false. I even asked some of them if they knew about the Yakuza games and the majority of them said no as you'd expect. They were just here to shitpost and laugh at sonyfags. So if a PC port does get announced some day you can expect the same.
Is Yakuza good?

>>388251475

>>388251338
Honest fan here.
It was always a mediocre series that appeals to few communities, like Sega fans or Gokudo movie style films, or just people who like beat em ups or maybe even Shenmue fans.
The games have rather simple drama like story with a very simplistic gameplay but the main selling point of the series was always exploration of the red light district and being able to for example play mini-games or talk to girls in hostess-clubs, other one was Yakuza themed story line.
Gameplay didn't advance much in recent 10 years until Ishin came out and packed shit up to the brim, Yakuza 0 took all of the elements from Ishin and improved it even more.
But once you actually play the game, it either clicks in and you will absolutely love the series no matter how shitty it might get or it might just be ok or shitty to you.
Also the music is pretty fucking great.

I get it that you are so defensive and hate all those bad companies that keeps all those hundreds and thousands of games but people have fun with them.

The story fucking sucks
Its supposed to be the finale of Kiryu yet the majority of it is based around new characters, Someya being the only good one while the rest are mainly chink pandering
Theres also a big lack of heat attacks

Not at all, as a sony pony myself i wish you all the ports of yakuza. This will help my cause and prevent things like Yakuza 5 not coming from happening again. But i won't apologise for enjoying a series i like that happens to have been on my platform since 2005. Unless you also champion the ports of PC exclusives that can be ported to console, you should not claim anti-consumerism. If you think consoles should have access to console capable PC exclusives as well, then we can talk.

I'd like to but I'm not really sure about it.
I only played 0, and really liked it, but from everything I've heard, it sounds like coming from that to Kiwami, it'll only be a disappointment since there's generally less of everything compared to 0.

One dollar.
>>388252608
First one 50-100k, maybe 200k at best if properly marketed. The ones after that less and less like with most Jap ports.
This has been bothering me for a long ass time. I just beat Yakuza 0.
What does Kiryu actually say in Japanese when he learns a new style? "It's rad" seems to be a liberty taken by the localization team.
>>388252608
It would sell worse than Senran games
SEGA's only money makers on PC are Football Manager and Total War. They know their lane and stay in it.
>>388252454

Please provide sources, if PC was supposed to be THE platform of choice, the reality would be forced to conform to this without question.
>>388252454
What facts? Because you didn't post any my friend :)
I guess those companies must be really dependent on those extra 20 000 sales coming from PC market when that one console game sold 1.3 million BUT here is a twist! it sold 1.3 million in japan only! rest of 2 million was in the west :)
So yeah....... that extra 20 000 is so much, such a fact my PC only ple- I mean friend :)
>>388234856

>>388252760
>First one 50-100k, maybe 200k at best if properly marketed.
Yakuza 5 sold around 100k, so I guess they would double their sales by making a PC port.

>>388252869
It's between 2 and 0 in mainline. Including spin offs, Ishin enters the mix.
The first thing I'll do if Kiwami comes to PC is restore PS2 music.
>>388234856
Haruka isn't real
>>388252959
They don't need to because the series alone sell over a million every year in Japan alone.
They don't need to predict if westerners will buy their game because the localization theme put up some memes and that sells the game here.
>>388253085
Yakuza 0's combat was damn smooth. I heard the original PS2 games had problems but you should give the new ones a try.

>>388253268
Not a single Yakuza game sold 1 million, unless Yakuza 0 somehow managed to beat around 500k in the west.
Sega was happy with 500k sales in Japan and Asia.
>>388252959
Only if people are interested. It really depends on the marketing and if people know about it and are willing to give it a shot. Most recent example would be Cold Steel. It sold over 100k on consoles, while on PC it sold 17-20k on PC with almost no marketing. CS2 will do even worse.
I actually dunno if Steamfags even know about Yakuza. I watched some streams of Yakuza 5 and Yakuza 0 when they came out. Most people in the chat saw those games for the first time. The streamers were even more retarded comparing the combat to Batman Arkham games and spewing other bullshit, but that's unrelated to PC sales.

Not a native english speaker but he says something like:

Generally if the localization team finds some hard word to translate they will just resolve to memes and quips.

>>388253530
They've disappeared ever since Kiwami dropped.

The PS4 started getting localized Yakuza games and it goes against /v/'s anti-Sony agenda for the PS4 to have games.

0 and Kiwami brought influx of newfags that murdered the threads
Literally the fate of EVERY single niche series that becomes even remotely popular.
>everyone ITT has only played 0
i'm fucking done
>>388253497
People who want more Sega ports, definitely want.
It's kinda amusing that PC Gamer actually tries to make the series more popular in PC circles, even though there's no Yakuza game on PC. Weather it's a rumor about Sega making more PC ports, actually asking Sega about PC ports, or a list of console games they would like on PC, you'll pretty much always find Yakuza.

Bear in mind consoles had the game since 2013, for multiple regions. PC just got it, only for the west. That being said, I doubt it would sell any better if it was a simultaneous release. Not even western publishers care about the platform, not even western games sell well on PC, there's a reason why so many companies abandoned the platform to run to consoles. They only come to PC because of Steam, hoping to get some of that heavily discounted PC money.
>>388253596

>>388254205
I was talking about the western releases. Cold Steel 1 and 2 overall sold over a million. CS1 in the west sold over 100k and the report was made either late last year or early this year, I think. The game came out here in December 2015
>>388252238
Because getting burned out before you reach 0 or Kiwami is a much better idea!
>>388228290
Cool, I bought 0 a couple of months ago and have been playing it bit by bit.
Just pre-ordered Kiwami too
>>388254407
Yes, they have been doing that since 10 years ago.
Their fastest record not counting spin-off by different studio was Yakuza 1 to Yakuza 2 which was made in only 6 months.
>>388254394
nice persecution complex cuck
and even then nintendofags are still not as cancerous as you
>>388254407
They've been like this forever.
>>388254072
It's funny, even other weeb games like Neptunia didnt get that much shit with its remake that reused loads of assets. Yakuza's first entry is fun but it's pretty flawed if you go back to it after playing nothing but the newer games, and Kiwami 1 and 2 if nothing else are fun remixes for fans that already played the originals.
>>388254654
really? go ahead and post some proof while i do
>>388254525
Even so, that's two whole years versus what, a week? I am the very last person to defend to say PC is a good platformit isn't and will never hold a candle to PS, but maybe there's some correlation between time of availability and units sold.

>>388249215
why not 3?
>>388255156
That's why some people suggest to start with the series in release order, it makes 0 feel like a fun adventure with Nishiki before it all falls apart.

Can I start with Yakuza Kiwami? Its dirt cheap on amazon while 0 is still 50+ dollars.
Im kind of hoping for something with quirkiness of twin peaks? Does this fit? Im aware Yakuza probably isnt very surreal but quirkiness is a plus.
>>388255343
>Tfw someone posted my picture
>>388255516
It's mainly quirky in terms of side quests. If by any chance you cant emulate the originals on PS2, or you cant find copies of the games on PS2, grab Kiwami.
>>388254881
A year (when the report was made) against 2.5 weeks. It'll keep selling but it'll probably take a couple of years until it reaches 100k. Trails just isn't that popular. Only 1 of the 3 previous games broke 100k+. Well either way we've gone kind off topic.

No, you need to play Mushiking: The King of Beetles first to fully enjoy Yakuza Kiwami

Im saying if someone gets burned out by Yakuza before they get to 0 them they didn't really like Yakuza anyway
>>388255621
Thinking about purchasing to support the franchise and maybe see the entire series on ps4. I need games to play.
Buy Kiwami or else
>>388255363
Most people here said that I should skip it because it barely adds anything to the overall story.
Yakuza 4 even let you watch a recap of what happened in 3 and it seemed really dumb.
I don't really feel like I missed much either which is weird considering it's a main line game.
>>388255943
There were like seven different traitors in 4.
>>388244465
Seajima's sister was so classically... Japanese looking.
>>388255943
Wait for Yakuza 6, the ending part alone has like 8 twists.
>>388256034
Or else what, bitch boy? What are you going to do?
>>388255976
What do you think I've been doing? I've been getting all the games I can after emulating Yakuza 1 last year, I even got the reprints, the HD collection on PS3, and I fucking preordered Kiwami.
>>388255670
This. It all depends on marketing and if people tell others about the series. If it's niche like Trails it'll sell like shit. Same with Yakuza. Even now with 0's popularity there's plenty of people who don't know about it. So who knows how well it might do on PC. The first port might even sell like Trails in the Sky FC and then it all comes tumbling down with sequels.
>>388256214
Haha what
that's too many twists Yakuza
>>388256243
YOU'RE GONNA LIVE TO REGRET IT
>>388255943
The stand-off in Kamurocho hills was the exact moment I turned my brain off and stopped taking the story seriously for these games. 4 was being some what promising story wise, despite RUBBER BULLETS. Then five betrayals occurred in the span of 20 minutes.
>>388256835
Yeah but Yakuza 0 has the best story in the series.
Even its dumbest moments are very tame compared to any other game in the series
So what's more convoluted.
The Yakuza 4 or Yakuza 5 story?
>>388257057
Ishin>0
Fight me
so why do so many people believe there will be a 3-5 pack released for ps4?i sure hope its true i only ever played the ps2 gamz
>>388257057
>i made you kill this girl because i knew you wouldn't kill this girl
>don't kill anyone kiryu even though you've killed everyone on the highway
Say why are physical copies of Yakuza 2 so expensive compaired to the rest of the series? I think I will emulate the game anyway but I would prefer holding a physical copy.
>>388257057
Didn't 0 have another writer that kept Yokoyama in check since he's awful at writing main stories.
>>388257171
5 but the aidoru parts really tie them all together
>>388257262
I agree Shimano whole plan is fucking dumb, but its so much more consistent than everything else in the series imo
>>388257196
I can't read Japan so i dunno
so why does everyone in this thread assume it will get released outside of japan?
>>388257346
I believe 0's story were just leftovers from the original writer's stories from 1 and 2(?)
Don't quote me on that, though.
>>388257402
That is true.
>>388257196
Barely anyone played Ishin. You'll get no replies
>>388257057
I actually enjoyed 2s story more, even if the ending went off the rails. Still, 0 was definitely an improvement after BEAUTIFUR EYES, RUBBER BULLETS, and MUH YUME.
>>388257601
s-shut up
>>388257601
Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 6 got Chinese release on Day 1 along with Japanese.
>>388257346
Possibly
Makes sense given how much better the story is than the other games had 1-2 some the writer for those was an actually good crime novelist
>>388257601
Because Sega has been releasing Yakuza games outside of Japan? Plus with PC port basically being confirmed it's pretty clkear they aren't going for Japan with PC release
>>388257171
Yakuza 4 had the dumbest plot twist in the whole series, but i had a real tough time following Y5 overall story

>>388257982
I'll wait for it anyway. Who knows in the future we might get a patch translation.
>>388258006
but also like 3 years after japan did
>>388253530
Honestly the people that are bringing these threads down are the ones who fly into an autistic rage when a newbie comes in asking about which games to play. When the words "release order" get brought up, in any context, a lot of unpleasantness and insults start hurling around from both sides, and each side is always blaming the other for why these threads have become less civil.
And console warriors/falseflaggers of course, but that doesn't usually last too long after a game releases
>>388258262
>t. newbie
I don't even get why people ask such questions. I started Yakuza a few years back, started with 1. Same thing with MGS, Fatal Frame and so on. It should be common sense to start with release order unless the games are unrelated unrelated and it's a long running series like DQ or FF, then you just google it. It's no different from saucefags asking to be spoonfed. Thank fuck /a/ doesn't allow it anymore.
Main reason I'm excited for 6 is I get to kick Korean Vergil's ass.I hope
