This is actually really good... Does the story stay this good or get even better...

This is actually really good... Does the story stay this good or get even better? I just returned to the quarter to find these tachibana guys

0 is the peak of the series
you can stop now, it's only going to get worse

I always forget to save progress in the fucking payphones

Please don't tell us you're one of those idiots that started the series with this game. You don't start the series with the fucking 6th game.

once you beat 0 you basically have played enough yakuza

It says 0 on the cover

Play games in release order for fucks sake.

>play first game released
>it's shit
>turned off from the rest of the series despite the fact it improves greatly
thanks user

Except if you start with 0, it's all downhill from there. Not exactly a good way to get into the series either.

I'm not too far into it but I'm enjoying Kiwami 2 more I think.

2>1>0>6>3>4>5

Redpill me on that user, Kiwami's on sale and I'd have to pull the trigger

Kiwami is a 0 expansion pack but a bit worse. It's fine if you want more 0 and can tolerate a quality drop.

0 is a unique story set in a much more wacky period of time for the series, starring a younger main character who's not quite as reserved, with a pretty much peak version of that set of games' engine, including tons of super fun combat styles.
kiwami 1/2 are a bit more restricted in story by virtue of being remakes, but also being on newer engines that have optimization issues (on pc AND console), less content to do (again this is more to do with them being remakes), and things being a lot less silly or "lmao wacky japan xD!" that people got the impression of the series from 0 (not that it's not there, just less of it).
Starting with 0 sets up some wild expectations, is all.

I love K2 no matter what you fags say
The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't have pocket circuit racing

furthering this, if you haven't tried it yet, games pass has 0/kiwami/2 on it, or you can just pirate it and try it if you really want.

Thank you for telling me, I did like Yakuza 0 for it's little minigame quirks and whatnot, but the story and combat pretty much sold it for me.

I think the story stays just as good throughout. If anything, it's the beginning that holds it back. Some of the logic and writing doesn't make sense in the last 25% of the game but eh that's typical of yakuza.

It's easily the best game in the series too. Kiwami 1 and 2 really don't come close, and while I like 5 a lot 0 is just plain better.

>Yakuza 0
shit sux

Everyfuckingthread faggot and you never elaborate

Name one long running game series that started by calling itself *Game Name* 0.

>brought over the universally panned dogshit hnk game
>but not isshin
??????????
still confused.

I just want to take back the love man...

>disco is only in Y0
This is a crime

Too true
The only hope is RGG Studio putting disco in Kiwami remakes, only after Cabaret club management though because that shit is like crack.

I didn't like it. The series isn't for me.

Fair enough, it wasn't for me either when I first started playing with 3 on the ps3 years back, but I came back to it a few years later to play 5 and it ended up being a much more pleasant experience. Not everyone's alike though.

I just don't like constant mini games.
I also started to notice an extremely repetitive pattern with all the sidequests. Couldn't just focus on the story either because I felt like I was missing on everything else the game had to offer.

Yeah that's definitely a big problem with the series, if you don't actively enjoy the minigames it'll get frustrating real quick.
I can't realy c all it a SIMILAR series, but you may like Way of the Samurai (1-3 moreso than 4), if you like beatemups anyway. They've got a similar feeling to the early yakuza games in my eyes, without a lot of fluff.

5 is the worst story in the series. Probably best for Premium Adventure shenanigans though.

>movie game but instead of cutsence you get to mash 'X' 3000 times.
>good game

I think Majima's started strong but fucked up the ending. Kiryu's was opposite, weak at first but ramped up to really good.

>you can stop now, it's only going to get worse
KYS, 0fag

>that Let's Dance ripoff song

amazing game, play till the ending. Trying to 100% the game is pain but its fun since you get to fight a secret boss

Why did they get rid of styles in Kiwami 2? Kiryu's new DoD moveset sucks

The fighting in every game on the Dragon engine sucks. So 6, Kiwami 2, and Judgement.

I enjoyed 3, suck my balls

Back in the PS2 there was only one style. This is why 0 secondaries shit on K2.

Majima everywhere is good as long as you didn't pay attention to the story, especially if you haven't played the original

The Japanese intro song is better in every game except 4.

Disco being an 80's thing is a crime. Oh sure they still had "disco" out here in Euroland for teenagers, more like dance clubs really, and they were all shit with awful music. I wouldve killed to get to do a routine with a girl to a proper disco beat.

I'm not saying 0 is miles better than K2 and I'm fine with sticking to one style but the new moveset of Dragon of Dojima doesn't click like it did
