Yakuza Series

Looking forward to giving these a shot, people rave about them and if I'm being honest I've always been a bit skeptical.
same here. I hope it lives up because we all know they are people like to keep hyping over trash games.

I love them, in terms of gameplay they're an evolution of shenmue but without the obligatory monotony that shenmue have (still, I love shenmue). It's not pretty and the animations still look like early ps3 games. What it do have is over-the-top japoonese style storytelling and set pieces with the standard japoon sexual culture... personally, I love it, but I'm sure it's an acquired taste.

Like always with japoonese developed games, don't listen to the fanboy hype or you'll risk being disappointed.

I beat up some people, sang karaoke. I'm liking it so far..especially the story, but the press A button for every sentence during a boring convo with aging foreigner is kind of irritating. I know this is common for many games, but it's something I've noticed that bugged me.

I finished RDR2 yesterday and went straight to Yakuza 0. That might have something to do with it.
 
They tend to do it with text heavy games so you don't miss anything.

I'm on chapter 2. Loved the end of the first chapter
 
Put in about 3 hours. It's a franchise I've completely ignored in the past but figured I'd give it a no risk Game Pass shot. I'm really liking it so far. Combat isn't perfect. Difficulty between regular enemies and bosses is vast. Frame rate is giving me a head ache. Animations are last gen. Not 4K on the X. Not the ideal control layout.

Despite all those negatives, this game feels so old school Sega. So much cheese. I like extra cheese on my Sega. I'm liking this game.

Really? Surprising, a while since I played it, but can't remember frame rate issues. And no 4k is a bit lol

Same, no framerate issues here either. About ten hours into it, currently slapping people with baseball bats.
 
Finished Yakuza Zero. AMAZING story!

It took me 32 hours. And I avoided most of the substories after chapter 2 to focus on the main storyline.

I gave it a quick go, was ready to uninstall. Read your post yesterday and decided to give it another go. Finished the first chapter and I’m hooked.

It drags now and then but has more than enough over the top action to make up for it.


Where'd you hear that?

People should check this game out. I mean..I love Shenmue but it's mostly because of the nostalgia from my Dreamcast days. Yakuza Zero s***s all over Shenmue with its rollercoaster drama.

Gamepass Twitter account loves giving hints.
 
I finished Yakuza Kiwami. It was pretty cool to see the changes in some of the characters.

Yakuza Zero was more enjoyable, so if anyone is thinking about trying it out. Start with the prequel.
 
Yeah anyone new should start with Zero.

I really wish the English subs had been included just for the laughs....
