There is a continuous story thread throughout the games and I would recommend starting at Zero. It is a video game story so it isn’t a big deal to skip games in the series. Yakuza does a decent job recapping the story’s the beginning of each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say very Japanese in terms of culture / wackiness - I would not compare it to Final Fantasy / anime, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 My second favorite Yakuza game with the best combat mechanics found in the series. It has all strangeness of Japanese culture, but none of the Anime shit. Kazuma plays a pretty good straight man to the bizarre shit that is happening. Kazuma’s main weakness is his pervy side so those type of side quests his straight man character breaks a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wackiness of the side quests and mini games you can do make it surprisingly fun. I especially got addicted to leveling up my girls at the club so they can make me more money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've always kinda wanted to try this series. I may jump in with this one. Hopefully this does well and the others get Steam releases, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its $20 and was like 15% off if you preordered. Waiting for Christmas to save a couple bucks at most is silly for such a great game. This was actually the game that got me to buy a used PS4 so I could play it and Kiwami (and eventually Kiwami 2 in a few weeks). Even still, I immediately rebought it on PC and have been playing it again while lending my PS4 to a friend so he can play it as well. That said, there are a couple issues with the PC version. Some people have been complaining that the game won't start, or doesn't start consistently. Sega put out a patch this morning to fix it, but it seems like the patch was causing those same issues for other people, so they rolled it back a few hours later. There's also a consistent hard crash at the start of a side quest, which that patch fixed, but again it was rolled back. Other people have complained about LOD issues and physics issues when playing the UFO catcher at uncapped framerates, but I haven't run into either of those issues. That said, fantastic game. I love the hell out of it and I can't wait for Kiwami 2 and the 3/4/5 remasters to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really since they all start with a bunch of cut-scenes to get you caught up on the story plots relevant to the latest game. Sure it doesn't cover every aspect and it's well worth going back to play the older games but you won't be totally lost if you jumped in on the latest. Plus with this technically being a prequel it ends up fill in the series lore and backstory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The cabaret club was good enough to get through I think. Real estate I regret doing Both require grind but real estate is extreme. I don't think either have enough payoff to warrant doing them if you're not into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness35 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've been watching Dyrus play this on his stream, and gotta say the game is legit wacky but seemingly fun at the same time. 3 hours ago, eggydoo said: This game made me want to eat japanese food all the time.

SimpleG Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I was able to run it at 4k with super sampling at 4x on Ultra and was getting high 40's mid 50's fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
