Hey guys,
Saw the "big japan" sale on the psn store, and they have yakuza 0 and kiwami on sale.
Is it worth to dive into the franchise ?
Saw there is up until yakuza 6! right now.
It's Japanese game set in japan, so if you're you a problem with their culture, you might not enjoy the game. I gave it a try and liked every moment. Going to get Yakuza 6 soon.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Yakuza 0 is an absolutely brilliant game. There is no better place to start with the series than with that game. I have sunk in at least 178 hours into it and still keep going back quite a lot.
Yes it's worth it, but do note that the combat shouldn't be your only draw into the game because it can get repetitive. The minigames, "drama", and humor should also be something you are interested in. Plot is never the best most of the time, it's very Japanese writing, and some minigames have a certain polish, while others are just a funny novelty thing you would probably only try a handful of times. It's the characters and the humor that does it for me to be honest, and the blood pumping OST.
Most substories are hilarious especially if you fudge the responses, but they basically devolve into beating up somebody.
I would play Kiwami before 0, mostly because Kiwami establishes characters if you're new to the series, and it's a remake that while it has new features, is still not as plenty as 0, so you might feel it's a bit lacking if you start with 0. Though that's just my take, but I do feel it should be the sequence to play. I started with the original PS2 games back in the day, and so to me, knowing the characters, 0 was made even more impactful.
I'm currently replaying 3, having dusted off my PS3, and once that is done I will be dong 4 and 5, and then replaying 0, which should be enough time until Kiwami 2 this August.
I would save Yakuza 6 for last, it has the worst combat of the PS4 games especially if you try the demo because they don't have the speed upgrade so you might end up thinking it's gonna be slow as hell.
There's a lot of flaws, but there's something about the various elements coming together that just makes me love the series. Yakuza is pretty much what my PS3 was for with the games, outside Persona, being the only ones I played to completion.
