>0 ruined everything
At least 0 was a good place to start for newcomers because it was a fucking prequel. Now newcomers will start from 6 (and many of them won't even play other games) but I'm 100% sure Sup Forums will not bitch about 6 like it bitches about 0, nobody will call people "6fags" etc. Wonder why.

I've only play 0 and Kiwami and I'm not touching 6 until I've played Kiwami 2.
Jason Cook
ok but that post obviously wasn't referring to you
Brody Martin
Most Yakuza fans know that Y6 is a poece of shit though.

Fuck these people. The games are clearly numbered, get busy if you wanna get into it.

Keep fanbases separate from games, you'll never like most games if you can't do that much.

HOW FUCKING NEW ARE YOU
Nathaniel Cruz
Guys, where the fuck can I get Yakuza 3, 4 and 5?
Luis James
some e-celebs promote this retardation (going from 0 to 6 or even starting from 6), like cuckman, which pisses me even more but there are exceptions; I was shitting on zeke when he planned to go from 0-kiwami to 6, but once he started 6, he changed his mind and decided he will be streaming all games, he bought PS2 and he will play original 2 pretty soon. It's gonna be fun to watch all those normies crying about graphics looking too old
Austin Gomez
why do i have a feeling that streamer's you, since literally no one in every yakuza thread cared about him or even know about him?
Nathaniel Lee
There's like a retrospective in every game starting from 2. Many people started at 4 and there's nothing wrong with that, so long they keep talking about what they played.
Hudson Brooks
You allowed people to skip over games and just start at the peak just because it's a prequel, you really think people are gonna get the motivation to go back to the older games? They're gonna play these games the easiest way they can. I don't care anymore where people start as long as they buy these games when they drop. 6 can be your first one for all I care.
Cameron Roberts
How do i unlock tiger drop ability for kiwami 2 ?
I'm on chapter 9.
Owen Hughes
PSN for 4 and 5
Get 3 from Amazon or something.
Henry Morgan
3 is physical only, so you have to search it on ebay
4 and 5 you can get on PSN Store
Ayden Morales
cuckman or zeke? after sega fucked up someone else mentioned cuckman before me. a plenty of people knew about that because sega gave him the full game for fucking free. I've seen like three other people speaking about zeke as well. also I'm not a fat old alcoholic.
Chase Williams
Someone talking/showing you what happened in the game is not the same as experiencing it yourself. Also 4 wasn't the last game for Kiryu. And the majority of people who started with 4 also played other games (since they had PS3 they could play at least 3 and 5), now people will start with 6 (and maybe play 0 after that) and give attention to the lamest entry in the series
Camden Thomas
Ryan Howard
I didn't say it's the best place to start. I said it's "at least" good because it's a fucking prequel. I still think you should play in release order if you can, but if I have to choose between people starting from 0 and people starting from 6, the choice is obvious.
Elijah White
But more exposure will probably result in some people to be interested in the other games. Not everyone has a PS2 or even a PS3 for some reason. Just don't be too rude and try to give them reasons to try the other games.
Joseph Jones
after you fight the tigers in the osaka tower go to the doctor next to Aoi
Mason Richardson
>tfw played and 100% every game in release order
>newfags will never know this feel
James Price
I'm talking about general consensus, people were fine with newcomers starting at 0 since Yakuza really needed the sales. Now that it's ''well known'' people all of a sudden have a problem with starting at 0.
You did this to yourself. I had a problem with people starting at 0 but after seeing all these terrible threads, I couldn't give less of a fuck where people start nowadays. As long as you buy the games when they drop, it's cool.
Grayson Ortiz
so i just played 0 and Kiwami (my first time playing the series) and I have to say, I enjoyed zero but it put kiwami to shame. Really didn't care for the story at all in Kiwami. Maybe I was yakuza fatigued, in general
Kevin Stewart
im surprised you have not killed yourself. 100% a yakuza game looks like pure hell.
Aaron Bell
>newfags saying 6 is the best or one of the best in the series because it "looks the best" and have new engine and combat
Just Wait For It
Cameron Clark
>he doesn't enjoy doing mundane tasks for Haruka
>He doesn't enjoy looking for boss specific heat moves during 2
What are you, a 0FAG?
Dylan Howard
they already did thanks to a certain youtuber
Ryder Perez
0 is a horrible place to start and everyone who's been saying this is a fucking retard. It doesn't introduce ANY of the characters or explain what anything is at all. Kiwami is the best place to start and you can play 0 second if you want.
Ryder Anderson

>newfags saying 1 is the best because FUCK YOU OLD FUCK!
I'm convinced you people don't actually like the games, you're just here to shitpost.
Adrian Robinson
I disagree
As someone who just played both for first time, I thought Kiwami was a letdown after zero.
I would recommend Zero first to anyone.
It's superior in every way
Jordan Kelly
start with 6
Michael Ramirez
I know 0 is a better game that has nothing to do with it being a good place for newcomers to start though. It fully expects you to know who all of the characters are and all the different families and how they operate and all that shit.
This is as autistic as someone saying you should start with MGS3, just because "its a prequel its technically first"
Tyler Baker
I've never had so much fun with the combat in these games before
the fact that tough boy is playing only makes it better
Lincoln Lewis
>everybody recommends playing a prequel first rather than a remake of the chronologically first game
>thinking you're going crazy watching this for weeks and weeks
It's not about what game is best, it's about what makes the most sense. Zero references characters from a variety of the games all the way up to 5. "Starting" with Zero only makes sense if you have no intention to play the other games.
Ryan Davis
actually yea.
Aaron Ramirez
Two points here.
If you want someone who has never played the series before to enjoy it, Zero is absolutely the best way to start.
Because 1) Kiwami is a lot worse than zero. Some people may not continue the series if it's there first experience with it
2)Your premise that it fully expects you to know all the characters is nonsense. I literally just played Zero as my first entry into the series about a month ago and had no issues following along. In fact, all the different factions and characters was part of what made it so interesting in the first place
Cameron Rodriguez
I miss the handful of people we had itt. Them's were the best times.
These threads started going downhill once Kiwami and 6 came out in Japan. 0 put the nail on the coffin. This is the price that we had to pay. I stopped caring long ago, though. Just buy the newest games and you can shitpost all you want.
Carson Adams
Why buy the newest games? Why "support" it when it's already over? We have only K2 to wait for, it will be localized anyway. It's over.
Anyone who genuinely cares about shin negroid crap is retarded so I don't even mention it
Tyler Rogers
Damn, you're right. I don't really care for Ichi either at all. I'll probably be done with this series after 6. I don't really care for Kiwami 2 either since I've already played 2.
I'm sad it's over but I'm glad I'll finally be able to leave these terrible threads. They're the only reason I even browse this shithole.
Bentley Howard
I wish I could fight Ryuji for the first time again.
Andrew Moore
I started with 0 because at the time it was the earliest in the series and available for someone only willing to own a PS4. It felt natural, the introductions were decent for the character they are in 0, even if they change by 1. It's fun and it's great, and I'm glad me saying that makes faggots like
mad as fuck for being muh sekrit gaem faggots.
Henry Nelson
I wish I could fight Mine again.
>that buildup
>that clash
>that freeze frame
>that music
>that suplex off the fucking building holy fuck mine
Andrew Anderson
I feel like these two bosses were the hardest ones in the series, to be honest.
Parker Moore
>tfw agree with most of this
>started at release order
only wrong one i see is 4. only akiyama was good
Bentley Nelson
But i owe 4 in phisical copy
Evan Wood
>thinking Sega has enough balls to actually permanently let go of Kiryu
>despite how every attempt at transitioning to a new protagonist in a long-running series following one character in general has ever gone
>even after that extremely blatant backdoor for bringing him back being set up at the end of Y6 itself
Dumbest anons in this thread.
Carson Martinez
It doesn't make me mad, I'm not mad about people starting with Zero (I still think it's the best to play in release order but I understand not everyone is able to do it)
I'm only mad about the community turning to shit due to Yakuza becoming more popular, I'm also mad about the fuckery that is 6. Zero and Kiwamis could be the last Yakuza games and I would be perfectly happy with that.
Blake Brown
For real, beating Ryuji felt so good. His last QTE always got me. That ending made it worth it, I wish Kiryu could just live a happy life with Kaoru. Mine was tough as hell, too. Kiryu was pretty challenging desu.
Carter Garcia
I'm willing to emulate 1 & 2, but not really into the idea of buying a PS3 for 3, 4 and 5. Could I play 0 after 1 & 2? I really want to just continue 0 but if my enjoyment of the game is going to be greatly expanded by playing in at least a little release order then so be it.
Isaac Price
most don't because most haven't played it. They have only heard shit from autistic Jap trash asshurt over Haruka getting chinked.
Dominic Green
>0 is the best because it has 4 styles
>4 tiny movesets (that share most heat moves too) with half of them breaking the game entirely with how OP they are
Rush mode was genuinely the only good thing to come out of 0's movesets
Angel Powell
Remember when it was exciting and somewhat rare to see Yakuza threads? Those were the days..
David Richardson
I agree, 5 is still the peak for me when it comes to what I want from these games, 10/10 Japan simulator. My favorite combat in the series too, 4 styles was fun for a while but it doesn't have the individuality that 5 had.
Levi Rodriguez
But that's the point user. I'd rather not see any new Yakuza games than see tired Kiryu being dragged again (not to mention shin negroid). I know people at Sega don't have any dignity and balls and that they will probably make some attempts to bring Kiryu back. The point is, I just don't want it, I don't want to support it, I want it to end.
Ryder Garcia
Why do people keep calling Ichiban black?
Hunter Hughes
>5
>all that haruka and idol crap
Grayson Davis
I've only played 0 and Kiwami and I'm not touching 6 because if 0 was the peak I don't want to see the valley.
Carter Sanchez
That was fun.
Jack Clark
It was fun but it did get kind of old after a while, dancing over the same song over and over.
Luke Reyes
I know that feel. Threads will never be the same again.
Wyatt Taylor
I can understand that and it comes from a person who played all the main games
Juan Williams
People who say 0 was the peak are fucking idiots. 5 was the peak.
Hunter Wilson
I'm glad you had fun with it but to me everything haruka and idol related is retarded and I can't take it
Alexander Wood
2 and 0 are better than 5 so how can 5 be the peak
Aaron Gomez
ahh that parrot's opinion
Hudson Rivera
I don't care.
Jaxson Myers
Understandable, I dislike Haruka too but her chapter was just refreshing and something new, whether they nailed it is subjective.
Xavier Fisher
I'll never understand 2 dickriders
Jonathan Morales
>0 ruined everything
That can't be true. Yakuza will ruin everything the moment it comes to PC, as is usual for all Japanese games. Thankfully Sega cares too much for the series to turn it into a sloppy steam port slut.
Jaxson Reed
Would you fuck off with your platform-war shit?
Christian Gomez
At this point calling everyone who likes 2 and 0 best a "parrot" is also parroting .
Mason Gray
1 and 2 had really well-told stories and likable characters that were never matched in the PS3 games.
Robert Brown
If 100%ing her chapter wasn't such a pain in the ass and didn't have the fucking retarded "hope you didn't use any locker keys as her, faggot", it would be been one of my favorite chapters.
Nathan Davis
>1 and 2 had really well-told stories
1 kind of sort of but 2? Did you even see the ending? You literally bash 4 what you praise 2 for.
Daniel Collins
The first Kuze fight was pretty tough but that's probably because you're weak at the time. Shibusawa was kind of a motherfucker, too. 4 had the weakest bosses(outside of the protags fights).
>those fucking final bosses
>gorilla man Saejima vs some shit kid
>Akiyama's was fine
>Kiryu vs Daigo was hilariously one sided in Kiryu's favor
>Tanimura vs a frail old man & some jobber SWAT guys
Ian Johnson
>2
>well told story
lmao it was just as dumb as 3 with the whole Korean twin out of nowhere for no real reason and the whole Terada mess
Hunter Hill
no it isn't you idiot
Nathaniel Torres
Fighting Akiyama and Tanimura was hype as shit.
Shame the Autist of Dojima obliterates them.
Matthew Butler
>likable characters that were never matched in the PS3 games
This is an absolutely retarded claim.
Daniel Reed
Why on earth do people think 0 ruined Yakuza?
Jayden Baker
I love that the finale of 4 gets so corny that it almost feels like they're acknowledging how video gamey the situation is.
Jaxson Bennett
>tfw liked all yakuza games
you all need to chill the fuck out
Luke Bell
Not him but the Terada twist does nothing to the story and might as well not be there.
The actual story of the Go Ryu fighting the Tojo is simple, coherent and compelling. Especially when compared to the convoluted nature of the latter games.
Hunter Edwards
>not Downie of Dojima
Anyways I liked Saejima vs Kiryu at the orphanage more, fighting on the beach during a sunset was nice, plus at the time Saejima seemed like an interesting guy compared to Kiryu, what with all the murders before you learn about rubber bullets
Ethan Taylor
Skyrocketed popularity, hence making threads worse. That's basically it.
Cooper Torres
>tfw liked all yakuza gam
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN ONLY LIKE 0 AND 2!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T LIKE 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Connor Morales
That was a good fight too, mainly because of the
>oh shit I get to fight Kiryu
factor
Landon Thompson
Thats why the twist was stupid. All the games have a decent story with retarded twists. 2 is no exception.
Jaxson King
>tfw contrarian and only liked 1 and 2
Brandon Lopez
This.
As soon as ranking comes into play rabid autists tend to conflate 'least good' with 'bad'.
Lucas Green
>the fact that tough boy is playing only makes it better
Fuck, I just realized we'll never get those songs if it's ever localized.
John Hill
I think 2 by far has the most coherent and competent story, the redeeming factor of the shitty twist is that it doesn't matter and can easily be ignored.
the story of 3 and 4 are built on the foundation of a convoluted narrative where you have to keep track of several character betrayals and motivations.
Nolan Diaz
pls don't do this.
Jordan Myers
>2
>well told story
That's laughable. I couldn't take it seriously when Kiryu was willing to die over some girl, giving zero fucks about Haruka.
Logan White
>no part in 0 during Majimeme's story where you fight Kiryu but don't learn who he is, sparking Majimeme's homolust
Damn shame
Power rankings ruin every thread, no matter the game
Nathan Cruz
What's the best way to play this series? I got a hacked PS3 and Wii U and legit PS4
