not played a Yakuza game before, the first hour of this is cutscenes interspersed with a few goofy beat-em-up parts.
What's the appeal? i'll keep playing, I just want to know what I'm in for and why this is supposed to be good as it's not clicking yet.
Is it just a beat em up or does this get deeper the further I play?

It's deep alright. Everything about is well done down to the substories. The start is slow to build up the story and is worth staying through.

It's a meme

>cutscenes interspersed with a few goofy beat-em-up parts
That right there. It's the modern Shenmue or Kunio-kun game. The games are kind of badly paced though. Sometimes you'll fight for hours with no story and sometimes you'll watch cutscene after cutscene of Kiryu saying "Nandato?!" with a few fights.

It's a slow build admittedly, but it'll grow on you

B-B-but who's the Jannetty?

If you don't like the first hour of Yak 0 you don't like Yakuza, just flush it. You paid 3 dollars to test it and you don't like it, seems fair

You aren't forced to like a game

Get past the Nishiki portion and Bacchus' tutorial on Rush and it'll open up to you. The start of 0 is pretty railroaded, the only thing that tops it is Fist of the North Star's 6 chapter tutorial. Once you get Rush it lets you do minigames, run around Kamurocho, and do a couple substories so you can see what it's about. Yes, it's primarily a beat 'em up with a soap opera main story and tons of side content. It's not super deep when it comes to the combat but it's satisfying, fun, and hefty.

It's free on the gamepass
I want to like it, it's just a slow start
What do you like about the games? Is this representative of the series?

There's literally a fat guy standing in the middle of the hall with a couch and he beats the shit out of you, you cannot dodge his shit, that's it I'm done.

lmao how bad are you at games

poor you : (

You can find cards for jap porn stars then search for them on Bing and fap

lmao

Anyone know if the original PS3 versions have an English sub? I found Japanese copies of 3 and 4 for 2 bucks each

Pretty sure in the first 1 hour is just the prologue and basic fighting tutorial

first 2-3 hours of every yak game is a movie game
heads up
it opens up

The Japanese versions came ages before the English release. No, they don't have English subs. The Asian release of 6 has English on it but that's the only one as far as I know.

He's talking about 3 and 4. Yes they do have English sub

He said he found Japanese copies, not English. The Japanese copies do not have English subs available on them. The English copies have English subs on them.

The guy you can use a heat move on?

It's nothing deeper than a beat em up

it's nothing like shenmue. kunio-kun isn't far off though

How do I heat move?

You will inevitably start to feel bored. You will walk from pointless conversation to pointless conversation. You will read and read and read while character models stare at each other lifelessly. You will do the same unchallenging fights hundreds of times over where enemies pose no threat. You will stare at cutscenes that play out in the slowest way possible. You'll tell yourself the story has gripped you while trying to ignore how badly written it is.
You will wonder why Zig Forums and various ecelebs hyped up this series, and begin telling yourself that YOU must be wrong, not them. You'll tell yourself it's good just to feel a part of something.

That's what you're in for.

>I want to like it
why?

The people I watch on youtube all love it. It's why I want to like Jojo too.

>why?
It seemed like a beautiful game with some old school beat em up elements, perhaps I was wrong.

Walk up to him and press your designated Heat move button, this works against any twat holding something heavy
