Have put about 4-5 hours into Yakuza 2 on PS2 at this point. I think if I didn't put 70+hours into Yakuza 0 I would be having a much tougher time finding my way around. The shifting fixed camera while traversing the city can be confusing.
Having a blast otherwise. Was worried about how the game might have aged especially having just played 0. Awesome. Fantastic music.
Mason Turner
...
Noah Cooper
120 hours in Zero nigger
Aaron Cooper
>all these people starting the series with 0
Gabriel Rivera
Do Majima and Kiryu fuck the blind chick's mouth at the same? Is that how it all comes together in the end. Just two peckers busting in a blind chicks mouth?
Julian Morales
How do I into roulette? On yakuza 0
Brody King
I actually didn't start with 0.
I sated with 4. Then 5. Then Zero. How does that rustle your autism faggot?
Bentley Ortiz
can i change my costume in 0's ng+ or is it premium adventure onry
Luke Diaz
You can actually change it after you beat the story. Just by continuing your playthrough go to the Real Estate office phone to change and for Majima the caberer club dressing room phone. You need to get the dlc costumes from Bob the clown with each character.
Easton Lee
but if i start a new game with ng+, will i be able to change my costume?
Ryan Bennett
can you visit s&m club on zero? this is super important
Lincoln Davis
How do Kiryu and Majima manage to not kill anyone?
John Reed
There's a small substory, but you can't go inside AFAIK beyond a short cutscene there.
Luis Flores
>I sated with 4. Then 5. Then Zero. How does that rustle your autism faggot?
>Dude, look how retarded I am. u mad bro?
Carson Moore
yes
Nolan Williams
Can all trophies be gained in Premium Adventure?
Connor Bell
You're not a bright fellow.
Anthony Hill
Yes of course. PA is where you will spend 75% of your playtime.
Dylan Nguyen
I don't think the trophy for beating it on Legendary difficulty can be.
Liam Peterson
i already spent 70 hours on story mode
how much more can i possibly squeeze out in premium adventure
Anthony Hughes
Now I'm confused. Thanks for the answers though, I'll just check when I get there.
Eli Stewart
God, I was terrible at fishing in 4 and 5. Now I need to fish to get Majima's Trouble Finder in 0. Any tips? Not there yet, but starting to get anxious.
Jack Butler
Is Yakuza 0 playable for someone that has never touched a Yakuza game in his life?
Aiden Barnes
No.
Play the first game.
Andrew King
Yes. It's a great starting point.
Carter Torres
What? He asked whether it's playable, and it absolutely is, even for a newcomer.
William Edwards
I think it works as a great introduction to the series. Go for it.
Lucas James
This guy is a raging faggot. Zero is a perfectly acceptable starting point woth the series.
Jayden Phillips
Yeah, just like how MGS3 is an acceptable starting point for the MGS series.
William Garcia
Here we fucking go ....
Tyler Cooper
stupid old fuck
Blake Jones
I played 1 when it was first released. Still have my mint condition PS2 copy.
Then I never played the series again and now I'm just about to finish 0 with over 60 hours in play time. I plan on finishing all the sub stories and stuff as well. Fucijng love this game.
You do not have to play any of the other yakuza games before 0. The only things you'll miss out on are a few little Easter eggs.
Angel Reyes
You're golden dude. Do it up.
Nathan Richardson
You're just sad because you didn't play MGS in order because you're an underage faggot. That's okay though, I'll just sit here thinking about how good my time with MGS3 was because I had beaten all the previous titles (MG and MG2 included) and understood the story and all the hints to past games.
Stay mad bitch
Charles Thomas
Who the hell are you even trying to reply to?
Brayden Thomas
4 to 3 to 1 to 2 to 5 to 0 master race.
Levi Morris
ten years in the joint made you a pussy
Eli Martinez
Yakuza 0 is probably the most fun I've had on my PS4.
I plan on getting the remake of 1 once it's released in the west and then hope they remake 2. Otherwise I'll just go out and buy a ps2 copy/pirate it.
I now want to play the entire series
Joseph Turner
You're a fucking faggot, dude. It's embarrassing.
Logan Davis
Shouldn't they (1-5) be played in order? I understand playing 0 first but isn't it one continuous storyline or no?
I'm ignorant and need an answer because I have 4 downloaded on my PS3 right now and I'm tempted to start it before the yakuza 1 remake is released.
Sebastian Nguyen
No fishing masters ITT?
Cooper Murphy
All these jealous fags who weren't playing metal gear solid until Sup Forums was jizzing on it.
Fucking embarrassing.
Mason Taylor
They should be played in release order, like you would do with any other vidya series, or hell, any other form of media ever.
Xavier Parker
He was joking. Yakuza 4 has a Reminisce mode that shows you the plot of the games 1-3. If you don't want to play the originals and wait for remakes, you can stat with 4 and watch those Reminisce cutscenes.
Ethan Wilson
I fished once and I was fucking horrible at it. It's the only mini game I outright failed and I haven't played it again since
Nicholas Walker
They should. That's the way I played them for the first time, though. I have since corrected my mistakes of yore by playing through them again in chronological (which is also the release order), excluding 0. Nevertheless I enjoyed 4 immensely even as a starting point to the series.
Jacob Watson
Oh I see. I've read online that Yakuza 3 is garbage. Is that true?
Jose Kelly
I started with 4. Beat it. Enjoyed it. Played 5 because it's a PS+ game. Kind of lost motivation to play during the hunting Saejima section. Played, beat, fell in love with Yakuza 0. Now playing Yakuza 2 on my PS2 and having a blast.
If I had planned it out, I probably wouldn't have played them this way, but I'm not regretting. I saw the "reminisce" videos with Yakuza 4. I'm enjoying my journey through these games.
Blake Campbell
Everything before 0 is garbage.
Dominic Taylor
How does yakuza 4 feel in comparison to 0 in terms of gameplay mechanics? Does it feel really dated in comparison?
Jaxon Nelson
What did you think of the main antagonist in this game
Caleb Ross
kill this..................dumb motherfucker
Bentley Cook
Thanks for the uneducated and shitty opinion.
Jose Howard
lol I played Metal Gear Solid back when it came out in 1998.
Fuck I played Metal Gear on the NES back in the eighties. Didn't play the MSX versions until they were released with MGS 3 Subsistence.
You're a waste of life.
You fucking pig.
Jayden Williams
Is this your first time in this board?
You're posting like a child and I don't think you understand what people on this board do. There are lots of shitters here. Get used to it.
Christian Carter
It's one of the more controversial titles. It's very plodding and takes a long time to get kicked into gear. Many people regard it as a low point, but most people I've seen in these threads came out liking it in the end.
It's the only one I haven't played, actually. Don't have time.
Yakuza 4 isn't that much older than 0. It feels very different, and some of the minigames (like Hostess Maker) have much less attention paid to them, which can make them boring. Not the user you were talking to, but I really liked 4, despite some of its flaws. It didn't feel dated to me at all, though 0 still is a noticeable step up.
Benjamin Mitchell
0 is a lot smoother, so it might feel somewhat clunky at first to go from 0 to the earlier titles. Having said that, it's still far from unbearable. There are some aspects in 4 that I find superior to 0's, too. You really should give it a go.
Jason Rivera
Fuck all these dipshits, just start with 0.
No use in playing all that old shit when you can just play the newest game in the series and watch YouTube videos to catch you up on the stories in all the other games.
Thanks for the replies. Yakuza 0 has made me fall in love with the series and I now want to play them all, I'm just making sure it's still worth my time since everyone seems to think Yakuza 0 is hands down the best game.
Carter Butler
Don't bother with the older games, they all feel clunky as fuck. Everything they do, 0 does better, so there's no point going back to them.
Caleb Phillips
I think most here would say 2 is better, but yeah, it's a toss-up between that and 0. The PS2 games will definitely feel clunky, but I think you should be fine with the PS3 titles. I actually found 4 and 5 easier to control than 0.
Andrew Long
>watching YouTube videos instead of just playing the games and having fun This is the board for video games is it not? I thought people here liked video games.
Jonathan Lee
>I thought people here liked video games Have a nice first day
Ian White
Been on this board since its inception bud.
Carter Stewart
It was a joke, pal.
Camden Sanders
Finally a Yakuza thread. I've been wanting to talk about 0 for since I've began playing it.
This game is fucking amazing and I can't wait for the remake of 1.
Landon Ward
>inception nice meme, we're not talking about movies here
Isaac Fisher
Is it just because I'm early in the game, or is the Slugger style super fucking strong?
Camden Taylor
It's basically god mode. Once you upgrade it fully it's unstoppable. Literally no use for any of the other fight styles when playing majima.
Noah Wood
Thought so. Thanks.
Jacob Flores
I'm just happy is finally getting some love. I think 0 is the first Yakuza game that I don't fear will be the last one localized.
Sebastian Ward
Mad Dog fighting style is so fun >tfw Majima sliding around everywhere on all fours at mach 6
Bentley Williams
So where do I start with this series if I only have a PS3? Yakuza 3?
William Bailey
Helps that Yakuza Kiwami and 6 are already officially announced. I'm sure that would change if Yakuza 0 was a sales disaster.
The newfound enthusiasm for the series is great, regardless. It seems to be giving the franchise a second life.
Michael Perry
How can I play Yakuza 2? Is my only option to go out and buy a PS2 copy or pirate it?
I have a PS2 so it's feesible I was just hoping they'd announce a remake of 2 after doing 1.
Jaxson Fisher
All of Majima's fighting style are super fucking strong. With a fully leveled Breaker, you can clear up a random fight with a single square 3x + triangle combo.
Nolan Torres
>see someone mention an Awano avatar in a Yakuza thread >look it up >practically every region except NA got avatars with Yakuza 0 >meanwhile I'm stuck with a generic one because none of the avatars available to me are ones I'd want
Jose Anderson
Emulators or buying it used/re-printed. Remake for 2 hasn't even been announced.
Sounds cool. Have struggled with that style the most so far, but I'll try to give it some love.
Ryder Long
The head spinning kicks are basically unstoppable.
Justin Jackson
I know but it's been rumoured.
Nicholas Nelson
ya or try to get 1&2HD version but it's JP only
Adam Foster
That's my point. If it hasn't been announced yet, they have to make it, release it in Japan, then decide whether to localise it, then actually do the localisation. That's at the very least a year off, m8, most likely more. Look up how long localisation took for past titles.
Levi Watson
I'm playing Yakuza 2 with my PS2 with a 2 disc version burned copies. I have Free Mcboot installed on one of my PS2 memory cards.
The case of my original model ps2 is also modded with a flip top case.
Asked about a rumor. That story made the rounds last summer.
Why are you people so fucking dense?
Austin Garcia
That's not even a rumor you dumb nigger. If you actually read the fucking article, it says they're considering other remakes based on the sales of Kiwami. That doesn't mean shit; I guarantee you every year Sega "considers" making a sequel to Sonic Adventure.
When I asked for the source of the rumor, I was expecting something a little more substantial than a mention that the series is doing well, from 9 months ago no less, especially considering something pretty fucking big happened in the series between then and now.
Wyatt Flores
Faggot doesn't understand what "rumour" means.
Brody Jackson
To be fair, when you say "it's been rumoured" that sounds like they've started work on it without having officially announced anything. He's right that SEGA considering something means very little.
Colton Gray
>Hey guys, did you hear the rumor about Super Mario Galaxy 3? Nintendo considered it because of the sales of Galaxy 1 and 2.
Robert Martinez
Bought PS4 pro, bought Yakuza 0 as my first game, haven't played vidya seriously for a while.
This is hands down some of the most fun I've had in ages. I love this game.
Anthony Reyes
You are exceptionally stupid.
Josiah Cruz
It's fine as long as it gets them into the series.
Daniel Williams
>tfw Majima and Nishitani could have been best friends if that cop didn't kill Nishitani
Jace Price
>Uh oh, several minutes have passed and I haven't figured out how to refute his statement. If I don't respond quick, I'm going to look like the one who's wrong! >Shit, better call him stupid, that'll work.
