I’m on to Y4 in my lockdown play through of the full series. 3 & 4 are notably inferior games to Zero and K2. I do appreciate that 4 seems pretty easy so I can just do the minimum to get through to 5. Love these games though :wub:

Not the biggest fan of Yakuza 3 or 4 myself I did really enjoy 5 mind . it's to top Yakuza 2 that game was super impressive punching a tiger in the gop was crazy

Harsin’s definitive rankings:

 

1. Yakuza 0

2. Yakuza Kiwami 2

3. Yakuza 6

4. Yakuza 4

5. Yakuza Kiwami

6. Yakuza 3

 

Haven’t finished 5 yet but will probably bump 4 down the list when I do. Not included Judgement, but would probably come just below Kiwami 2.

I enjoyed Kiwami much more than Zero! 

 

I know right?

 

I love Kiwami equally with 0. I think the fact that the story follows the relationship between Kiryu and Nishki makes it almost feel like the second chapter in a 2 part story (with 0).

3 is mechanically very basic and every single enemy is a turtling bastard but it has one of the best stories in the series and is well worth persevering with. I preferred it to 4 in the end, which was more ambitious but also had an extremely stupid plot and some very annoying rooftops.

Were those Japanese only entries any good ? 

 

Ishin was the first PS4 game I bought/played back at release and I thought it was excellent, but it's the only Yakuza game I've played so I don't know how it compares (the number of games in the main series and amount of time required to play them all puts me off).

I was looking at the PS4 too especially as it was 60 fps and at the time quite cheap on import. Years back I would have jumped on it, nor matter the language barrier not so much these days :(

"Finished" 3 last night. Was surprised when I realised I was at the end. Admittedly I'd not been anal about substories etc, but I was still surprised about how quick it seemed to go. Just under 20 hours, and a shameful 11% completion.

I think current plan is to get through 3-5 without being too fastidious about side stuff, and then really savour 0.

And Yakuza 6 finished. First game of the series I've ever platinumed due to how easy it is to actually platinum, but worth it considering its Kiryu's last outing in the series as the main protaganist.

 

Got Judgment and Fist of the North Star left before the first entry in the series thats got the daft looking new main character and is totally devoid of Kiryu, honest! Its been a wild ride since Zero, though I wish I got to play that daft zombie game in the series as well as the samurai era games. Yeah Sega, if you could work on getting those out in the west at some point that'd be great!

 

This series man...

Yeah for as good as the controls were in Binary Domain, they were the exact opposite in Dead Souls. Of course it has fun cutscenes, it's the Yakuza team, but they tried modding third person shoot em up controls onto a beat em up engine and it was terrible to play. I didn't even make it halfway through.

The pacing in Yakuza 5 really is something else. I’ve played entire games shorter than Saejima’s introductory prison section.

 

I mean I like it but it’s like watching a 7-season Netflix series or something. You just accept you’re in for the long haul and let it all wash over you. Not the kind of game to rush through to completion, more something to immerse yourself in. 

 

It’s really cinematic though, love the presentation of it all.
