Will have to pay attention to the story line this time Don't want to be a spoilsport, but I don't think it'll be too different this time around. As amazing as the game is, if you want to know what's going on in the story (which you totally should), it WILL require a certain level of attention especially during the cut-scenes. If you are used to watching foreign language movies with subtitles, then it shouldn't be much of an issue at all. If you watch anime (I assume you don't) even somewhat regularly, then it's not even a concern to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got around hentai yet but I remember asking you if you wanted to sell your copy back then Yes I'll pay proper attention this time round.

Dead Souls & Kenzan (needs English subs) deserve a remaster. I feel Ishin deserves a Kiwami style remake. The game was already on PS4 but sadly the lack of English subs and no western release was a bummer. It'd be fun to experience that timeline with the power of Dragon Engine it would look amazing.

And the excitement fizzled out quickly as Akiyama's story chapters are so generic and boring. Was feeling sleepy playing it and was about to stop playing for good when Saejima's story started. Finding his story much better, having many cool moments. He is another awesome character introduced by this game. All the side stories are meh so far and that third Taanpura character isnt that great so far. So overall found both Y3 and Y4 disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Wonder if anyone's seen this? Especially @adity since you're a fan of Yakuza (Especially Y0) Edited March 9, 2021 by roun90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauji Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Finished it. It was a mixed bag. Kept going back and forth between quite good and very boring. Had a good start with Akiyama then his story went Ubilol route, game picked up again with Saejima and then again took a nosedive with Tanimura. And everyone is a gangsta till Kiryu shows up!! Game ended on a high note with his story arc. First, the things I dint like - I know a Yakuza game's story can't be taken seriously but there were quite a few moments where it was like - Then the sub-stories were disappointing. In the earlier games, quite a few substories brought a smile to my face when they ended, but not a single memorable one here. Combine this with map, which is a chore to use and it gets quite frustrating, especially with Saejima. First, its difficult to pin point where you need to go and then if Police sees you, a chase sequence starts and you can end up anywhere in the map and have to backtrack. Add random encounters to this and a 5-10 mins sub-story is stretched to half an hour. Really liked the new characters - Akiyama and Saejima and the story arcs of Saejima and Kiryu. There were many great moments and links to past game's plots. Majima's guest appearance was cool and Kiryu is badass as usual. Spoiler You play half of the game as Akiyama and Tanimura and then in one sequence Kiryu kicks both of their asses...together!! Overall, would still rate it much higher than Y3.

Ethan_Hunt Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I think the sub-stories hit a dead-end when it comes to creativity as you progress through the series. They either end up repeating a lot of sub-stories from the past games or make them very generic. Yakuza 0 is where it hit the all time peak with sub-stories not just being memorable but something that had a nice message embodied them. Plus that small background music that played toward the conclusion of some of the side quests that showed some moral change/message was great. One of Kiwami 2's hostess side mission was pretty much a direct copy-paste from Yakuza 0, where Kiryu & Yuki tail a hostess for a supposed person she's been seeing and giving money to. They feel as if it's some marriage scam or something. The conclusion is very similar to how Yakuza 0 had this sub story with Kiryu and Youda follow Yuki. Even the dominatrix sub-story was repeated in Kiwami 2 I think. I feel as if they latter entries should have trimmed down the sub-stories instead of just bombarding us with it. A fewer amount of meaningful side quests would have been great. I literally fell asleep trying to play the first golf quest in Yakuza 3. So yeah, not sure if the sub-stories are even worth it at this point. I completed all of them in Kiwami 2 though including all the bouncer missions and the Amon quest line, which was great.

Ethan_Hunt Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Just wrapped up Yakuza 3 and I enjoyed it. I know it's slated as the weakest and it probably could be, but the main storyline was handled really well IMO. Particularly, the final 2 chapters which were total adrenaline rush and emotions overload. The characters were a true highlight. Rikiya & Nakahara were amazing. I wish they had a backstory for Rikiya like they did for Mikio. Moving away from the Dragon engine and back to this archaic engine felt really weird, but that was OK after a while. I really wish all these games had gotten at least a Yakuza 0 engine level Kiwami remake treatment. Anyhoo, the amount of sub-stories in this game was bonkers; 119. This is probably the lowest completion rate (stats below) I have had with any Yakuza game till now. I'll just finish up the last few sub-stories, the Hitman missions & call it a day. I didn't even get time to invest in Hostess maker this time as it was so poorly designed. It's one of the few activities that I really enjoy in Yakuza series. Nevertheless, don't skip this one and stick to the main storyline only if need be and it will definitely be well worth the effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan_Hunt Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Oh yeah, the non-stop blocking was absurd. I just kept spamming the XX, YY combo to momentarily break the guard. Can I just add "F*ck those enemies with tasers!"? I mean seriously. It drained even more HP than a non-stop hit from the end boss. Also Komaki seems to side step (more like side skate) at the speed of sound now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akiyama was a cool character but his story was kinda lame. Saejima's combat was trash and f**ker moved like a truck. Half his story was in the sewers and I couldn't take it. Quit the game midway through. Coming to 5 though, the presentation is really slick and I'm digging the story so far. Graphics, combat wise it's equivalent to 0 which is great. Yeah, even I didn't like 4 much but I did complete it. Easily the worst Yakuza game. Enjoyed even Dead souls more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
