3 is easily the weakest game in the entire series. I would know, I played all of them. Very Happy

Same, especially when you do them in order and come from #2 Very Happy the change of scenery is what made me persevere, but it took a while to get into it.
The jump from 3 to #4 is equally big, with the huge scope and different playable characters in 4

There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

I started 0 again and damn the business grind is real. I did start again with the intention of doing all side stories, but this shit is painful. The short and fun ones are nice, but some are real busywork

Another one down! Those end boss fights were bullshit, my thumb is sore from all the punching. The hell was up with the final one Laughing

My beef was particularly with the Tanimura one which really meant mowing down the endless enforcers that kept attacking us while Seishiro would keep firing from a distance. Everything before that was fine as they were just one of one battles. Kiryu's finale battle theme was fantastic.

Nr 6 is a bit more toned down and focused as you play only with Kiryu and (I think) mostly in one location, and it's not as long either. It's a nice one to end the series with, as there are many cameos of previous games and you get to know what happened to them, so I'd give it a try.

I mean, you've come this far Razz

Done with 0, Kiwami 1 and 2 and Gaiden after a bit of a stop since the somewhat more aged mechanics in Yakuza 3 made for a good stopping point there.

Like a Dragon is not bad either but the regular stops as encounter difficulties scale up and need for older-school JRPG style grinding of equipment and leveling has been a reminder of how maybe not everything was better in the past.

It is fun though despite that and the entire series has this stuff, Dragon engine titles and the newer combat with the easier mechanics in the newer game have just made it a bit easier to hurdle through. Even managed to get all the way up through the bonus boss fights in Gaiden which is a first for how ridiculously over the top those can be.
(This one is no exception though and pulls out all the stops in addition to the arena before it.)


Bit into Judgement and then it is time to throw back into the Samurai drama with Ishin. Very Happy
Overall, a great series but one to be tackled in steps or risk serious burnout, Yakuza 0 is massive but so are several of the others if one attempts to see and do most of what they offer.

I have been reading a bit but there has been little to actually post about, previously I was almost only into gaming after all and that has taken a bit of a hiatus or had until more recently.
Last couple of years have been pretty turbulent, not that I am in any hurry but the backlog is growing a bit if I am ever to try and clear some of the games or franchises that still draw my interest, of which this series is a really big one.

As to the games themselves or the most recent one I played through Yakuza Gaiden was a nice little throwback to Yakuza 0, you get money everywhere and upgrading and improving is easy with a relaxed pacing and little in the way of permanently missing out on any content.

While also being a bit less overwhelming, since it is such a large game to get through. But if one sticks with it Yakuza 0 is a good game and still one of my favorites for the series even with the older engine.
No idea for what is next, Judgement, Like a Dragon or an actual Yakuza 8 but hopefully there is more to come for Kazama Kiryu as well.



EDIT: Right the text formatting, have to do a bit of adjusting to get it into something that doesn't look like separate rows of endlessly flowing text again.
