I remember being blown away by the graphical improvements when loading up Yakuza 3 on the PS3 for the first time all those year ago.

Having not followed to much media, here's hoping 0's is similarly impressive!

It had a PS3 release as well, so set your expectations accordingly.

Not lying when I say I literally bought a PS4 for this. And now we're getting TWO more of these games, hot drat!

Where are the locker keys???

I may just need to progress further, it won't let me go in a lot of the buildings yet, either.

The combination of Pat from two best friends shilling this, and seeing a clip of Maejima breakdance fighting caused me to cave and get this.

Sure hope I don't hate it.

I'll be surprised if you regret the decision.

Which is also featured in Yakuza 5, funny enough.

Haha, I had forgotten about that. I don't remember much about 5 to be honest, I found it to be one of the weakest entries, unfortunately.

Man, I'm just in disbelief that we went from never seeing Yakuza 3 in the west to this. I'm also thrilled to see all the new players hopping on board here. Game owns, series owns, Sony owns.

It's been such a ride being a Yakuza fan. I'm elated more and more each time than the last whenever we get the next major entries brought overseas, against all odds. Been with it since the beginning. It really feels like an accomplishment that we've supported the series well enough to get to this point. I hope more people continue to discover these games.

If I were crazy enough to get an import copy of Kenzan or Ishin, which would people recommend first?

Probably Kenzan, it came first and I've heard not so great talk of Ishin.

I keep investing in properties and collecting payouts thinking "Okay, next round I'll have enough to acquire that expensive pachinko parlor" but then suddenly more slot car parts go on sale :shepspends:

I'm having trouble getting Majima to show up anymore. I got a text saying he's at Shine, but whenever I go there it just gives me Rina. What do?

So I'm at SSS Rank on Majima, but he keeps popping up and everytime I beat him the meter doesn't go up anymore. How do I trigger the final showdown with him or whatever? Do I have to do all of Komaki's training? Cus uh, I probably won't.

I don't think you have to do all the Komaki stuff, but I'm pretty sure that the fight doesn't show up till near the end of the game. You'll get another phone call letting you know when it's time.

Nah, I'm in Premium Adventure and I've fought him tons of times, no phone call or text.

It was a thread about Yakuza 2 on these very forums that got me to try the series. I picked both games up that day, and while Yakuza 1 was good, Yakuza 2 blew me the hell away and I ended up praising it to anyone who would listen. I've been with the series ever since. Each and every new localization we get is exciting and uplifting; it feels like we're collectively and continuously winning a hard fought battle to show this series love in the west. That we've gotten almost all of them released here so far is nothing short of a triumph, and I'm glad to have been part of the journey, not to mention glad to have been introduced to such an amazing series of games.

A little off topic, but I backed the shenmue 3 kickstarter ages ago with the physical pc copy as my choice, but with this announcement I'm wondering if i should just get all 3 on ps4. Does anyone know if you can change your kickstarter reward?

Accept your kickstarter version and then also buy it on something else, imo. Support Yu Suzuki's vision.

Sweet, nice job. Anyone feel like getting a Shenmue thread going to discuss the upcoming remasters and any news about 3? Maybe it’s too soon for that though.

Sega put out a survey to gauge the reactions for Yakuza 6. Here's the thing, though: they also put a question asking if people would be willing to buy the Fist of North Star game. If you are, then you should answer the survey ASAP if you want to give its possible localization a chance.

Done, done, and done.

Everyone should take this, if not just to encourage more Yakuza in the west.

Spreading the word that Kiwami is on sale on PSN right now, AND there's a really good Playstation Humble Bundle on right now that comes with a 50% off code for Yakuza 0!

Hey Yakuza thread. I want to get into the series but am not totally sure where to start. I was going to start with 0 and then move onto Kiwami but currently Kiwami is on sale and 0 is not. Should I jump in with Kiwami and then move backwards or should I just bite the bullet and start at 0?

There's a PS4 humble bundle that comes with 50% off Yakuza 0. I suggest buying both while you can get em on sale and then start with 0.

Kiwami has some frustrating design decisions but it's still good overall. Just make sure you get the extreme heat mode moves for each style that allow you to keep bosses from healing themselves.

Also I changed the OP to a more minimal megathread series oriented thing and sent in the name change/thread tag change request.

Great work on the OP. Warms my heart to see how well this series is finally taking off in the US after long years of clamoring for any localization we could get. It's been a fun ride and I'm excited for newcomers to the series to discover what makes it so great!
