>we want the Metal Gear Solid audience
What went wrong?

what?

The guy on the right looks like Kato from Gantz. Uncanny.

ure dead kid

preordered months ago and havent even gotten around to "0" yet. Still playing 4

Hyped, I already played one but I'm down for it again to refresh my memory and go into 2 more versed

>theme is digital only

Get fucked Sony

Yeah, I want that physical theme.

I never preorder and I usually don't buy games at release. Still, I kind of want to buy this game but
>free PS4 theme
Who would ever buy a game for such useless (digital) crap?

>ps4 exclusive
Not for long.

>Yakuza 1,2,3,4,5,6,0 and spin-offs are all on Sony platforms
>B-B-B-BUT THIS ONE WILL BECOME MULTI-PLAT

post yakuza memes

Yeah, I must be imagining thing-

>a port that was never localized
>therefore every other game will be ported

keep on dreaming

Literally the only time it wasn't on ps, and it was just an HD collection and only in Japan.

I don't see PC written anywhere on that label

Just started 0.

Gonna most likely order Kiwami soonish

About the steel book that comes with the Amazon pre-order. Does that mean it comes with two cases or is the steelbook like a sleeve?

also it bombed hard as fuck

So the other guy was wrong then? Thanks.

usual steelbook with sleeve like most jap games

You get a steel book case with a plastic cover, no normal plastic PS4 case.

Sucks. I would have bought it if it came out here.

Of course it bombed, why would 4 year old Japanese children be interested in Yakuza? That's literally the demographic of wii U owners in Japan, actual real children unlike the west where adults buy that stuff.

Is 2 skippable, story wise?

with this remake i can go from 1 to 3,4 and 5 on ps3

God it's so easy to trigger yakuzafags, why are they such vile little shitposters anyway? I see them ruin unrelated threads constantly.

This image should be the OP of every Yakuza thread mandated by law.

2 is the second best yakuza along with best story you faggot

go emulate it

On 3 (or maybe 4, I can't remember) there's videos of 1 and 2 to let you know what all happened.

What's the story with Kiwami?
My little brother wants to buy 0, but I told him he should play 1 at least before he spends $60. Is this the remake of 1? While the game hasn't really changed since the first one, the remake is probably going to have a lot more goofy shit in it that's going to hold his attention. The first game was pretty serious throughout and most of the sidequests were finding people's pens or notebooks.

Story wise 2 is the best game in the series, so no.

obsessed

2's the second best one emulate that shit fucko

Dojima's kid is a cool guy and mahjong is a really fun game once you learn how to play it.

Does anyone know if these games have a translation patch?

Sonyfags weren't as bad during the PS3 era. Now with the PS4 and a bunch of newfags coming in from neogaf/reddit we have those people infesting every thread.

and if he can't emulate it ?

That's just the Japs being Japs.

Is Sega going to release Yakuza 2 on PS4?

Yeah this. Yakuza threads were actually pretty decent before 0 came along.

pray for 2 to come out as a ps2 classic on ps4.

It's just a nice little bonus. It's in a steelbook and with prime it's a little over $20 from amazon

It's always like that when a series gets too much attention

Did they fix Nishiki as a villain?

I can sympathize with you two as a WiiU/3DS owner watching switch owners metaphorically shit piss and vomit all over the board.
Used to be such a comfy and chilled out fanbase when no console war faggots were on our side. People who participate in console wars are a disease on good discussion.

>starts console-war shitpost
>LOL ITS JUST TRIGGERED YAKUZA FANS
>Also, PC when?

there were loads and loads of Yakuza threads and none of them had any of this even after 0 came out.

>Kiwami

nah, I just emulated the first one for free so I didnt have to give money to these people

I absolutely adore the Yakuza series but this thread reeks of shitposting and shilling.
THE MAJIMA EVERYWHERE SYSTEM IS FUCKING GREAT

it's just butthurt WiiU owners. ignore them

>b-but they asked to play the same game so let us shit up the entire board
Okay.

>Doesn't reprimand the post talking bad about Nintendo just above him
Like a big dumb walking stereotype

wait... what is this system? You mean you can play as Majima the entire game??

you a bitch ass little wigga

No Majima anywhere system is basically the Mr. Shakedown system from 0 but with Majima as the boss you fight, you can find him on the streets or get ambushed by him in a variety of situations, the system is used to power up your Dragon of Dojima fighting style

2 is the best, if you skip that one I will come to your house and shit in your fucking mouf

He invades your world and challenges you to a fight like an invisible Mr.Shakedown.
>Majima behind a dumpster
>Majima under the giant traffic cone
>Majima as a girl in the host club
>Majima as a police officer
>Majima from the sewers
>Majima as Dojima
>Majima anywhere at any time.

>GTA
How? you can't attack civilians and start cop fights, you can't rob cars n shit, you can't do 80% of shit outside of combat, and you can't kill people.

But it sure as hell better than GTA

So this explains Majima ninja turtle pic I have. Excellent.

Until Kiryu is finally replaced by a new character, every game will be shit. I'm fucking tired of the story suffering because they need yet another contrived bullshit reason to drag him back in.

isn't Yakuza 6 the last game with Kiryu?

I hope so

So why did Majima went from this calm collected man to a homolust rival in Kiwami?

I get that the latter is his character's default personality in the series but what's with the polarizing change from 0 to 1?

I own a PC capable of good PS2 emulation, PS3 and have also bought Yakuza 0 for my PS4 but haven't played any of them yet. Should I start with 0 and then go from 1 or just start with 1 and work my way up to 0

Please guys this a yakuza thread, one of the most civil threads on Sup Forums, let's not ruin this. Can we please discuss who the best character is instead and why it's Akiyama-san

60? That shits like 23£ with prime or around 26 ameribucks

0 is a great starting point if the original ps2 game isn't an option

all of them in Yakuza 3

they just had a reprint pray you can find it 40 dollars I BEG YOU ITS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES IN THE SERIES

Did you even pay attention to the story in 0? He realized he was being played like a clown by Shimano so he decided to start acting like a clown.

wow a watermelon

yes.

Start with the first and work your way up.

0 > Kiwami > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6

Kiwami comes out in august.
2, 3 emulate.
4, 5 is on sale at EU right now.

I already played the original on the PS2 but I may buy it just so we can keep getting Yakuza games in the west.

I think he means 0. Which is about $50

I did, it just didn't seem THAT drastic when he made that comment. He seems more like "alright fuck it, I'll play along with what Shimano wants" rather than this weirdly obsessive wacky man.

I didn't care for that minigame but I usually jack off to Ai so I'll choose her.
You're a fucking retard for even asking this, if you're capable of playing all the games always go for the release order.

>all these faggots trying to start on 0

i mean the game's good but fuck me it will hurt your yakuza 1 and 2 experience.

Calm down autismo, I wouldn't be asking if there wasn't differing opinions on the subject

2 story isn't even as good as people claim it to be.
It goes full retard at the end.

its 26£ on ps4 big in japan sale and was 29$ today on amazon with prime

>it will hurt your yakuza 1 and 2 experience
not really

NANI?

It's easy to miss since it's in the last 30 seconds of the game.

0 is still really expensive, but I'm surprised that this one is so cheap. Going to pick it up for sure. It's just really too sad that they couldn't get someone to do an English dub with famous actors just for old times sake.
Oh, does it have that ultra cool SEGA logo screen?
youtube.com/watch?v=2IC_z7zvTRo

Yeah he didn't really fully embrace his clown persona until all that shit with Makoto was resolved but then he went full clown afterward since he is still Shimano's dog.

How's Kenzan, Ishin and 6? it's the only ones i haven't played

>play a full retard series and only realize it at the end of the second game
you are slow af dude

God I love this fucking game

The Yakuza series is more of an arcady beat em up-RPG with silly mini games and side quests in a semi open world like 3D River City Ransom.

Nigga Y2 was the first Yakuza I ever played.
And the story is pretty good until the end, well except for the whole korean doppelganger thing

Don't play release order, play numerically, 0>1>2>3

Relatively, that's not very absurd. Y2 is great.

I asked because I know it's a prequel and have heard different things from different people, autismo. But feel free to keep sperging out

Hope Y2 gets a Kiwami-like remake. Then 3,4 and 5 get ported to PS4.

Fuck me, did you start with MGS3 as well? Don't talk to me anymore, you're embarassing.

The gameplay gets better each game, so you're just gonna be making 1 feel a lot worse than it is by going with 0 first.
