not until tomorrow anon. Some might get a early copy and stores might break street date but it's not officially out until tomorrow.

>>388544719
I did and so my friends. Not a single reseller gave a shit about not breaking the date.

>>388544719
Going to pick up my steelbook tomorrow

>>388546649
>>388546328
Well that's interesting. Guess I was one of the lucky early ones.

Got my copy today but my backlog is massive and I probably won't be touching the game until 2018 between my backlog and work.

>>388546887
you're lucky. Most moms and pops store don't give a fuck about street date as long as they can get another sale.

>>388544719
Still haven't finished 0.
Maybe next month.

I fucking love steelbooks, truly the best collectibles of this generation.

I don't think I need to play it because I've already played the original Yakuza 1.

Looking forward to 6 even though it supposedly isn't that great.

What do you prefer? A low grade figure that's going to take the dust? a fucking pins? a cheap pamphlet they'll call "artbook"? a cd with 10 tracks from the games you'll never listen anyway?

Let's face it, steelbooks are all you need, they have beautiful artworks, have a sturdy premium feel, no useless informational text, they don't take space, and they are actually useful.

Texas fag here, hurricane has caused all businesses to close. I have to wait for it to go away and the shops to reopen before I can get my copy

I've been playing it most of the day. It's really good, I think I'm liking it more than Zero so far. Majima Everywhere is a fun system or it seems so for now. I can see it getting tiring in the long run.

>>388544719
I got it today, it's fun so far like every Yakuza game, also nice to see how they expanded some cutscenes.
I don't expect a masterpiece, but it's also just 30 bucks.

You're probably the only person on this planet who thinks that.

I am but it just felt more fun, no idea why. Maybe it's just that I was never a fan of dress up games and I've usually always ignored all the hostess things in all the Yakuza games. I beat the first club and then I just gave up on the minigame, it took too long.

Reminder that you should play the original PS2 games but also play the remakes and support the series. Don't be HyperBitHero. Don't be a dumb 0fag.

I started with 3, then went 4->5->0, and now I'll play Kiwami 1 and 2 without ever touching the PS2 games, and you can't stop me.

>>388552502
But anon, when I played 3 the PS4 wasn't out...

>>388544719

I don't get the appeal of these games unless you understand japanese culture. The whacky side missions take away any seriousness of the drama that's supposed to be taking part in the background. Which is a problem, due to the fact that the storyline takes a back seat to side stories. I don't get the appeal and if I was a reviewer I'd probably shit on this series.

So? I heard on youtube Yakuza 3 is shit and has cut content, glad I just discovered the series now and will happily play the superior title that is Yakuza 6, they will surely localize Kiwami 2 too.
It's a shame you needed to slog through those unrefined PS3 games, they don't even run at full 720p lmao.

>>388552804
Giving people advice on the best way to play something and straight up shitting on remakes because "they're differents from muh personal experience, you have to play the shittier version because i said so" are 2 different things anon

I really need to finish 0, but I don't think I'm even halfway through. Spent like 10 hours finishing Majima's hostess club side plot and I know I won't be able to convince myself not to finish the real estate shit when I switch back to Kiryu.

>>388551641
>inferior
Only 2 still holds up as a great game, 1 is pretty painful to play these days.

>>388552650
That is the appeal though. The silly substories make for an amusing contrast against the serious (or at least it takes itself seriously) crime-drama main plot.
>Which is a problem, due to the fact that the storyline takes a back seat to side stories.
No? That's only if you decide to let it happen. You can progress however you want. Occasionally, you do a minigame as part of the main story or as a tutorial but otherwise you can just rush the plot if you want.

>>388553065
I'm not shitting on the remakes though
This is also me>>388552106
I just want people to enjoy the ENTIRE series, in release order. There's so much to love about these games and I don't understand why people skip around like this.

>>388553481
Oh i see you have no arguments, great.

>>388553369
I don't think that anyone wants to play Yakuza games for graphics since it they were always shitty, especially nowadays.
Also the gameplay is pretty much the same, after literary 10 years they just added 3 more fighting styles, it's not such a major step up in terms of gameplay and control.

>>388553187
>There's so much to love about these games and I don't understand why people skip around like this.
Because playing the originals means you must either
>Have a PS2 and copy of both 1 and 2
>Which only got re-releases in the US so the rest of the world is still shit out of luck in getting 1 or especially 2
Or
>Have a PC that's good enough to emulate the games

Stop trying to just go "Play them in order" when the means to do so aren't so straightforward as you're trying to make it out to be.

>>388552056
What the fuck, Yakuza 5 is digital only? That bums me out.

>>388552234
Don't take the dumb puristfags seriously, nobody seriously misses Y1. Y2 is a more sensitive matter , though.

>>388552804
Yeah, forcing your dumb and very questionable idea of of "best" is pure wannabe elitism.
Hint: people who like PS2 games and don't mind dated gameplays would start from the original without your posts.

>>388553065
This, perfectly said. What those guys do is worshipping their personal experience and trying to force it on other people because it's "the best".
That "best" obviously means ignoring all the flawed of the original game and how dated it is.

>>388553187
>I'm not shitting on the remakes though
Nobody said that you do. Yeah, there are people with worse mindset than yours, doesn't mean that your mindset isn't questionable.

>>388553481
See, you completely lack any objectivity, yet you try to force your idea of "best".

>>388553578
Remakes (and sequels to games in general really) are sweeter when you get to see how it improved over the original, first hand.

Don't try and fucking tell me that argument against starting with the PS2 games in these threads has been a matter of scarcity/shit PC, It's almost ALWAYS children like >>388553369

mine comes in tomorrow. I did an unusually low amount of research before buying this one and I've never played Yakuza before. I thought they looked pretty alright from what I've seen though so whatever.

>>388554064

>>388553856

Should I start telling people to play the original RE1 over REMake?

Got the steelbook edtion through prime for $25. Now for the wait.

I like the guy and all but come on, he doesn't even have that major a role in this one's story. Ryuji should be playable in this. Hell even thuggish Daigo or Kaoru with a Tanimura-like moveset would be fine, it's something different atleast.

Hello, HyperBitHero.

>>388554290
>Should I start telling people to play the original RE1 over REMake?
>over
Don't try to imply I'm saying something I'm not. Again, I think people should play the original and the remake.

In the case of RE, I think REmake is especially more fun to play after playing RE1 because it subverts your expectations with the introduction of Crimson Heads.

>>388554290
Yeah why not if it's a good game?
I played RE1 on Saturn since at the time I didn't own PS1 and enjoyed it.
I played RE2 and CV on Dreamcast and rest of the series on PS consoles.
And played REmake just fine on PC.

>>388554442

My copy is coming in tomorrow, but I probably won't play it until I finish Yakuza 4 and 0 (Finished Yakuza 1 earlier in the year emulated).

While on the subject, anyone else like 4 a lot more then 3? I had to force myself to finish 3, but 4 so far has been pretty enjoyable and seems like a improvement all around.

He single-handedly held out entire Omi invasion on Kamurocho. Also Kamurocho Hills plays major role in future games.
Not to mention it's a game which features Soutenbori and Kamurocho, which both were also in Majima's Y0, so why not expend on that.

>>388554804
But aged like milk? But I don't own PlayStation 1?

I'm still annoyed Yakuza 5 was digital-only.

>>388555083
These threads are all ready annoying with the remake only/old games only shitters and that tripfag attention whoring around these parts.

>>388553771
Sega localized it pretty much at the end of the PS3's lifespan (three years after the JP release in fact) and didn't think it was worth giving it a physical release.

>>388553954
>Remakes (and sequels to games in general really) are sweeter when you get to see how it improved over the original, first hand.
And for most people that "sweeter" isn't worthy spending hours playing an older and dated version. Is it really that hard?

>>388554183
Yes, demanding that people play the same game with a way worse combat and a worse environment only because in that case playing a not dated version feels "sweeter" is really questionable.

>>388554513

As another anon said, nobody gives a single fuck about your or mine experience, it's not a universal standard that very person should try to replicate even when there are better alternative, even if you want to believe so.

It's just a fucking game recommendation, if you don't want to play it then don't because no one is forcing you to do it.
I'm sorry that people are not fairies and couldn't guess through their computer screens that you are a special case princess that cannot play PS2 games.

This is how I know you didn't play Y2. Every game up until just added onto the framework of 2.

I wouldn't mind your "live and lit live" sentiment about people playing their way, except you're very obviously trying to push your own view on the PS2 games being "dated". You're just as bad as me.

It was localized and sold during the "every game has to have zombies or a zombie mode in it" craze.

No one is demanding anything, not only that but Yakuza 1 and Kiwami are completely different games.
It's like saying don't play 0 because Kiwami is identical but has few improvements so there is no need to play the inferior game Yakuza 0.
Like are you for real?
You are on a fucking video game board and you are complaining that people are recommending you to play more video games.
You should be happy because you have so much choice.

It isn't a matter of a game invalidating the other or doing some things better. Both games are great and are quite different aside form the story. Play both. Don't give me some shit about "muh time is valuable". Video games are already time sinks.

>>388555870
Actually "what feels dated" is your opinion too.
Because right now certainly 0 and Kiwami aged like a fucking milk when they were PS3 games and now we have a real next gen PS4 game with new engine and combat called Yakuza 6.

>>388556152
Using PS2 animations on next gen models
Not creating different fighting styles for bosses, just reusing the assets from previous games
Making bosses have a shitty gimmick
Majima Everywhere which has tons of problems in itself, mainly that it's used for upgrading Dragon Style and changing the story
Reusing and reskinning pretty much everything out of Yakuza 0
Game doesn't have the same ambience and feel as original game, they didn't even bring gelato shop back, it just has everything left from Yakuza 0 like mentioned before
No Boss replay mode or toy box with different features that was available after beating the game in Yakuza 1.
In short the biggest problem with Kiwami is reusing the old assets, be it either from PS2 or Yakuza 0.

Fair points, but it's also a half priced remake running on Yakuza 0 engine. Obviously they're not going to go full out on it and let some corners slide due to even lower budget than usually.

>>388555739
>Yeah why not if it's a good game?
Nobody said that it's not a good game. It's a good dated game that got a version enhanced from any possible point of view. For a person that just want to have fun with a game playing REmake is a no brain choice, IF he derives enjoyment from old games enough to justifies spending hours on the dated version when there is an objectively better alternative he should start from RE1. Guess which one is the more general case and which one is the more peculiar case.

I played the demo of Yakuza on PS3 years ago where you start in a nightclub and fight on some stairs.

>>388557765

Who cares? Are you really this autistic? As long as people are buying the games, that's great.

So since there is a new protagonist, does that mean that the next Yakuza game won't focus on Kiryu "my wife's daughter" Kazuma?

You seem confused, this is only a video game recommendation, if you are afraid of playing PS2 games then simply do not play them.
I don't see a reason why people are making a big fuss about it.

>>388557763
They will in a couple of months when Kiwami is old news and faggots stop bitching about it vs the original. Then we'll get this shit all over again but worse with Kiwami 2.

It just has to ride itself out.

>>388557839
At this point you might as well start with 0 then go to Kiwami, it's kinda being set up that way now.

got it early on saturday from based best buy.

as someone who's played 1-0, kiwami is still plenty fun and i love the facelift it got. the ps2 animations give it a weird kind of charm too. i also don't mind the soundtrack as it still gets me hype to beat down some goons.

I guess because it's a stupid question. Happened a lot in MGS threads too.

>>388557807
Sega is bearing the brunt of the costs to make it super appealing to take advantage of the new found interest in the series. They're playing the long game and hoping if they are cool to people now, then they will get fans for life.

Y0 was kind of garbage (in a different way from how Y5 was). Have low hopes for Kiwami despite loving the PS2 original. Nagoshi needs to fuck off with the Majima wanking already.

>>388557943

The originals. Play in release order. I reccomend not starting with 0 because most of its impact and characters will be lost on you.

>Happened a lot in MGS threads too.
Except MGS bots always say to start with MGS, not the Big Boss saga.

Here we have people selling a half-baked prequel over the series true origin. 0 should be played after 5, because 0 calls back to all of the past games including the original.

I do think this: whilst the new boys miss out on a lot of refrences, the story of Kiwami will be more powerful to them than maybe it was to us oldies because they started with Yakuza 0 Nishki

It's just shitposting and should be ignored, right now in this thread I see mostly discussion on how bad those PS2 games are when people just wanted to recommend some fun games to new comers.
It's not exactly their fault for not knowing they don't own a PS2 or they hate PS2 graphics.

I recently imported 6, and I don't get the hate for this game. The performance isn't even that bad. No worse than Kenzan or 3 back in the day.

Combat feels great because there's weight to your attacks, and the ragdoll is great.

Chinese pandering isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Music is still top tier too.

You know I have fucktons of hours on Mount&Blade, I played RE1 when I was a kid and it was a magic experience, I emulated Yakuza 1 years ago, and so on.
If there were Bannerlord, REmake, Kiwami in those period I talked about I would have just played them instead of their original versions without any second thought because I wouldn't have seen and still don't see the reasons for spending time on a objectively more dated version when I can have a more polished or simply better experience. Really strange, weird, incredible, incompressible, Lovecraftian, and Kafkian, my fellow purists, isn't it?

I haven't played Y1 in ages, but i still expect the dub sometimes while playing the remake. Especially the first time you bump into that guy near the start of the game or when Majima shows up.
Nice remake so far though, i like the upgrade system

>>388558729

>or start off with the best entry and the others feel like shit.
Starting with 0 and then going straight to 1 or 2 instead of the Kiwamis would probably give you something like that since it's a big step down in terms of quality of life improvements and heat action choices (Lock-on and freeform combos being two of the big ones) along with less minigames and tons of missables (Which is something that only got phased out in 4). Kiwami 2 to 3 on PS3 is probably going to be a much easier pill to swallow, and even Kiwami to 2 would probably still be a pretty easy pill to swallow since the lock-on is way better than what 1 had and it had tons of content.

It's not like it's impossible though. the games themselves are good and you just need to acclimate yourself to their style of play, they all work perfectly fine standalone even if you'd go from something like 0 to 1, so as long as you like the games you're fine, you just have to deal with the changes since 0 is a culmination of all the years of improvements.

>>388558849

Which is fucking stupid because PS2, PSP, PS3, and yes on PS4 the whole series in niche. People can play them however the hell they want, that's no sweat off my back. The in-fighting of a terribly small fanbase is what annoys me. That and people being to fucking lame to make their own decisions.

Personally I'd reccommend people avoid 0 & 5 just because they're atrociously padded with filler and dumb and furtherly overcomplicated mechanics. Hell, 0's plot at times literally gets hijacked by side-activities. What the hell.

Performance is very bad compared to latest Yakuza games.
3 and Keznan only had slight drops in the city while 6 framerate is all over the place, you also forgot to mention the horrible pop in and stuttering, similar problem was also in Ishin and 0 with that.
Combat is also dumbed down, while the new additions of physics and weight are nice, the combat is bare bones as they released it.
Another thing you forgot to mention is the lack of content, Ishin and 0 were pretty long games, over 80 hours without a problem of playtime when in Yakuza 6 in just over 40 hours you can platinium the game meaning you pretty much saw all the content, that included completing all mini-games and sub stories and some challenges and of course replaying the game second time on LEGEND difficulty.

I liked it a lot, it doesn't have as much content and 0, but that's probably because they also had to make a new engine.
The combat is fine imo and yeah the ragdolls look silly but it helps a lot to make hits feel even better.
Considering their usual development time i'm actually surprised that the engine runs so well, people always forget that the other engines really didn't run well on PS3 either, they were always unoptimized as fuck even on PS4 it's basicly the same just bruteforced to 60fps, trees and shit still pops in after 2-3 meters.
And people always the jump in visuals isn't big, but it's huge. The lighting is almost too good, it's up there with FOX engine just in terms of lighting and the animations are way better too, not to mention the models.
I'm actually really excited for Kiwami 2, they've probably improved the engine a bit by now. I'll wait a bit before i preorder though, maybe they actually say something about a western release soon

But your hits feel like nothing, the only time you actually feel impact is when someone blocks your attack and that's because it flings you back. It's completely missing the feeling of punching you had in all of the other games so you always feel like you're whiffing punches even when you're landing them on the enemies. I would say the normal triangle kicks (Not the finisher ones) feel like they have impact as well, but it's pretty minor, even the other games' wimpy kick felt stronger than Kiryu's long kick in 6. Ragdolls are good though, we need more ragdolls, kicking a guy straight into a store and the door opens is hilarious.

>>388559779
>Combat is also dumbed down

How so?

Also the performance in games like Zero were only great on PS4 because it's technically a PS3 game.

It has a decent amount of content for just focusing on Kiryu. There a shitload of stuff to still do. It's a short game for sure, but that doesn't make it bad.

Thank fucking christ. Sounds like they finally cut much of the fat cluttering the series up. Y1 & Y2 were 20 - 30 hour long games @ 100% which was far more than enough for an action game. From Y3 and on the bloat skyrocketed all the way up to the shitshow which is 0's mobile-tier wait-to-play retail/hostage club management nonsense.

Well, if it removes (for the second fucking time) crafting nonsense from the series I will mourn the loss of weapons but accept it.

No. 3 just lacks cut content. 4-5 are both great in their own ways.

I'd honsetly like more Yakuza games with the amount of content that 6 has or slightly more than the content that 3-5 had and even 0, but 0 handled it a lot better.
Ever since PS3 it really started to go into quantity over quality territories

Enemies do that in every game, we're talking about actually feeling the hits. While they feel a bit light in most of the games they have weight the farther into a combo you go barring Akiyama. With Kiryu in 6 it's his finisher kicks that have the impact but that's pretty much it. Normal punches and kicks when enemies are on the ground don't really feel powerful and it just feels like you're dragging the attack across their body, and the grounded enemy kicks just fling people everywhere. Hell, even using the bikes feels like they're lighter than the other games (Bikes are strong though, I just don't like it as much as the other games' bikes). It's got the basis of being good, what they need to do is remove instant blocking in the middle of combos and make the fighting feel heftier than it is because in every other game even your level 1 base self feels like you're much stronger with your punches and that they havemore impact.

>>388560587
Demo so far, I'm waiting on the English release. I was not impressed with just the base combat as it is because it just felt really off compared to any of the other games. Enemies being more active is great, and that smooth transition between forward - back - forward - finisher combos is so satisfying with how you can now manage everyone around you easily. What I don't like is the actual just base level punching and some of the finishing punches, and the kicks just feel all over the place when it comes to impact.

>>388561832
We dont need a kiwami 3 though. 3 is modern enough.

Just gives us a 1080p/60fps port alongside 4 and 5

Its funny, 3,4,and deadsouls werent technically 720p(they rendered at 1024/768) and while 5,0 and kiwami on ps3 are 720p they can have serious frame issues.

>>388561653
>5 is spread too thin but it's not shit.
They literally rehashed Saejimas plot from 4.
And Shinada had to be one of, if not the, most irrelevant major playable characters in gaming history. Had 5 simply been the wacky adventures of Kiryu, Haruka, and Akiyama the game would have been so much better off. Their fighting styles weren't shit, their side-activities weren't shit, and their plot points actually mattered in the grand scheme of things.

Hey, fuck you.

>>388561832
The chance of simple PS4 ports is probably higher, but even then it won't happen before 2020
If you have a PS3 starting with 3 might be the best thing since the games mostly improve things here and there.

Either way you either have to play Y2 on PS2 or wait at least 1 1/2+ years for Kiwami 2. 2 holds up pretty well though, way better than 1

>>388544719

>>388561686
Except even at level 1 with the characters in literally every other game you know how the game will play generally. You know the impacts of the attacks and how it will feel for the rest of the game (Akiyama is the exception), you know how the game feels when you fight and how enemies respond to your attacks, you know how weapons work in general since most of the stuff around you in Kamurocho alone is mainly what you'll see for the rest of the game. Yeah, I don't know how the extended combos feel and how combo breakers feel, but I know how the base game feels and the base game feels very off without factoring in anything else which none of the other games had a problem with. They can only go up from the base game.

Take Kenzan for example, there is no difference between starting Musashi and ending Musashi outside of extra combos for your attacks and heat actions. Attacks don't feel any different, you're not even faster, you can't break combos, and the base gameplay is the exact same. Or take 5 as en example, impacts of attacks don't change at all unless you shift to Akiyama who suddenly has attacks that don't really feel like you're doing much damage or impact unless you're doing his triple finisher kick, and they clearly have the base combat right and know how to add impact because Kiryu and especially Saejima are fine with their attacks since they feel hefty.

>>388562208

The DoD style is a lot more expanded than it was in Zero, and the fighting styles have a few new moves.

>>388561810

Performance looks alright to me. Nowhere near as bad as the demo.

His fighting style was trash and his batting cage side-game thing was also trash. He had literally zero relevance to the overall plot nor any of the main/major characters. Have no idea what the fuck orange Nagoshi was on when he decided on such a character.

I enjoyed it but they needed to tone down entire story of "You need to respect the animal's lives" and Saejima going "I am not going to kill an animal just to get you cosmetic bear fat" since during the entire thing you're trapping upwards of 36 animals and possibly forgetting them or just running around with the golden rifle slaughtering groups of deer and you could not care less about slaughtering the animals indiscriminately since they sell for 10-15k a pop. They should have let you leave as soon as you got to the village though, you're pretty much stuck an an hour of unskippable tutorials before you can even think of going to Tsukimino after you spent an hour or two at the prison.
