"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
I finished Judgement and it's so good. My only real complaint is that the Keihin Gang stuff happens a bit frequently.
I'm just missing two of the side cases. So I'll get back into that at some point soon.

I came to really enjoy Majima Everywhere cos once you got strong enough to beat him quickly he essentially became a metal king slime. I was pretty much maxed out stats wise well before the end of the game lol

I'm really bummed I waited this long to play these games. Unless something really horrible happens Yakuza is gonna be my favorite series of games of all time.

People get pretty bummed out at 3 and 4, but they’re not bad games, and I think they hold up pretty good. It’s just after 0 and Kiwami 2 they feel like PS3 games. My recommendation would be to set them to easy. The substories aren’t as good, 5 is where that really took off, but it’s worth it for the stories and characters.

This, but even then I’d say that 4 is only bad by Yakuza standards. While I was playing it I still would have given it like a seven out of ten. But in the couple years since everything about it except the stuff I hated and the cool John Wick scene with Saejima has slid off my brain entirely and I only really remember the bad stuff

It wasn't THAT bad until the final boss rush, which is the worst I've ever seen in gaming

If you don't want to be baselessly accused of a crime, don't do the voice acting and mo-cap for a bad character -time.

4 is a fine game but absolutely the worst Yakuza game, too disjointed and even though Saejima and Akiyama are cool, Tanimura sucks rear end. And the ending boss gauntlet is godawful

That was 3 though. I’m pretty sure, at least, I played 3-6 in a back to back marathon so to some degree they’ve all blurred into one big mega-game in my memory

Yeah that's 3 with the CIA subplot with Kazama's long-lost twin. I remember because the big bad CIA guy gets grappled by the final boss shouting "hey! HEY! What the hell" the entire time the latter is doing his epic endgame monologue

Even the characters don't know, hence the finale just being everyone going uhhh how about we put some money on a roof and the bad guys will show up to get their free money and we can punch them. it can be the roof of the Millenium Tower. do you like that. Kiryu is this a good plan. and then Daigo shows up to fight Kiryu as his final boss and Kiryu is like "Daigo? what are you doing here?" and Daigo is like "I have no loving idea lol"

I appreciate 4 for introducing Saejima and Akiyama to me series and for Saejima telling his buddy to go balls out.

The final boss is kinda poo poo, unfortunately.
