Yakuza Series

I was just about the post that the character models look...weird.

Yeah it's an odd step back after Kiwami 2 which looked beautiful.

Sounds like a Kiwami 3 was planned but dropped in the end.

Having played 0,1 and 2 first I've enjoyed the slower opening chapters more this time round.
 
Well just started my first Yakuza ever. Yakuza 0 on XSX. Playing on easy 😎 Haven’t hit gameplay yet. Just got my 10% cut from the loan shark.

Um, are these just fighting games with mini games (karoke, etc) thrown in?
 
Yakuza 3 was just ok. Rikiya was MVP though. Funny how one of the more likeable characters is in 3.

I've just started 4. I'm glad it's another remake. Akiyama is a badass too!
 
Yakuza 5 was good. Fun gameplay and better execution dealing with multiple protagonists than in 4. Alot of heart was put into this one.

The game took 59 hours to finish(!)..pretty crazy. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Yakuza 5>0>2>4>1>3 for me. Next up is 6.

Finished Yakuza 6. It was impressive! And it was dope AF. Yes, that really sums up the game. Yakuza 6 is dope.

I think 5 was better overall, but the improved graphics in 6 really pull you in. The subquests were voiced too this time around(!), which I really appreciated.




Takeshi Kitano and Tatsuya Fujiwara in there as well (Battle Royale).

3 really needed a remake. It was a slug to play when it originally released and its not aged well.
 
Currently playing Like a Dragon and I love it but I am at this huge difficulty spike right now that kinda sucks,I have done a lot of fighting,side stuff,jobs,bonds, including raising 3 million bucks for ''reasons'' and for this Boss fight,I am 8 levels behind...I mean this is ridiculous and at close to 50 hours so far,having to grind for that part is making me want to stop playing. :(

What difficulty? One of the reasons I play on Normal or lower now because it's just artificial grinding which is annoying.
