Jun 6, 2024 · Combat - not only is the block/repel patched out, but if you want, you can play Yakuza Kiwami 2 with Yakuza 5 and 0s fighting styles. It plays vastly better (because Kiwami 2's fighting style is shit), and there's tons of moves to mess around with. Cons are that its a bit more glitchy this way.

Feb 3, 2025 · With Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii dropping in two weeks, fans will finally get a full Majima game. Prior appearances he had to share with others (Dead Souls, 0). Of course, Goro Majima serves as the longest recurring boss in the series, starting from the first game. So throughout the...

Sep 26, 2022 · Like a Dragon sounds fantastic and I really want to play it, but at the same time I played Yakuza 0, Kiwami and half of Kiwami 2 (but I played the original on PS2), so I'm very invested in Kiryu and Majima stories and want to see how it concludes in Yakuza 6. But man, I don't know if I have it...

Jan 30, 2025 · The combat in this series has always existed in a seperate plane (quite litterally in Yakuza 1-5) from the overall story as things like the glowing aura around Kiryu, or the fact that half the heat moves you employ on your foes should rightly kill them is never acknowledged outside of the combat.

Nov 18, 2023 · Yakuza: Like a Dragon is also a fine answer if you'd rather play a turn based RPG. They're the two best jumping in points. Yakuza 0 is chronologically the first game and is intended to be the starting point for players to experience the whole series. It's also the (joint) best game (imo) so it's an easy choice.

Oct 1, 2021 · Yakuza 5 has an enormous amount of content, but its got some of the best storytelling in the franchise, in my opinion. It also has some really fun side-content. If I had to skip one, I would skip 4 but play 5.

Feb 13, 2025 · The 2024 Games of the Year results are in! Thank you to everyone that took the time to vote, and congratulations to all the winners!

Jun 8, 2021 · Yakuza 1 does an incredibly mediocre job of getting the player to care about Nishikiyama as a character, so playing it before 0 is far from necessary and in fact may be detrimental. Anecdotal, but I know people who started with Kiwami that ended up so strongly disliking Nishiki that it actively soured their enjoyment of 0 because of how you're ...

Jan 9, 2025 · Goofiness aside, this game does look a lot like what people wanted from Ubisoft for a standalone Pirate game. I wonder how many new players Sega is gonna catch with this one, and then they may get interested in knowing more about this funny Majima fella and play Yakuza 0.

Oct 1, 2021 · I've slowly been trying to play each Yakuza game, starting with Yakuza 0 and then going in release order. So far: Yakuza 0 is incredible. Yakuza Kiwami is very good. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is incredible. And Yakuza 3 was… not good. Very dated game, and I only give it a generous 3/5 personal score because I really liked the non-orphanage parts of the ...
