Start with 0 and go in chronological order.
The old games are very jank.
Chronological order, but Kiwami 1 and 0 are kinda interchangeable for a starting point honestly. Just play one after the other and you're good.

Just play one after the other and you're good.Nah, Kiwami 1 expects you to be familiar with the combat system when you start it, plus it has new plot threads that continue from 0 like Pocket Racer, and various points where Kiryu makes reference to his Real Estate stuff from 0. Start with 0
I heard Sega officially said you should start with Kiwami but most people seem to think Sega is wrong.Sega is wrong. The Creator said 0 is a great starting point
I've always felt so overwhelmed even thinking about starting this series because there are so many games.It's a series you'll slowly play through for like 2 years or so. What's important is that you take your time with the series and play at least 1 other game between entries or so. If you try to blitz thru every game to "catch up", you're gonna burn out real quick because they do all play pretty similarly.
Are they really worth playing? I have so much to play already.
I've always felt so overwhelmed even thinking about starting this series because there are so many games.The actual main plot can be rushed through. The issue is each game is stuffed with side content that can take countless hours to complete. But its all optional. You can just do the main story and still enjoy it

The games arent gonna go anywhere. Just treat the series as something you could dig into when you have nothing to play otherwise and play an entry every couple of months. Take it slow and enjoy it >_>
The story also is a fair bit more basicI was actually really confused about the storytelling before I realized it was a remake of a PS2 game.
Start with 0 and go in chronological order.This
0 -> Kiwami -> Kiwami 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> Yakuza: Like a Dragon -> Gaiden -> Infinite Wealth
The old games are very jank. I would only play them after you've played a bunch in the series if you're just curious about the roots.
I've always felt so overwhelmed even thinking about starting this series because there are so many games.After only beating the first 2: yes absolutely. I can't think of any other games that quite match the tone and energy of Yakuza and I think the stories are legit good. I also enjoy the gameplay and all the minigames.

I've always felt so overwhelmed even thinking about starting this series because there are so many games.Yes absolutely worth it. No need to stress over playing all of the games asap though. They aren't going anywhere. As others have said just take your time with it. The games have a serious main story, but really wacky side quests. It's a fun contrast.

I forget if it's K1 or K2 but one of the two of them had this puzzle pool minigame, and it was hell.0 also has puzzle pool
The first few were fine, and relatively fun/only a little annoying.
Then there was this one where you had to jump the cue ball off a literal ramp over an obstruction, land it on top of another ball and knock that ball in this certain pocket, and that was just insanity. 3's expert pool ain't got nothing on it. I gave it a couple of tries but then I was just like screw this.
3-5 remastered all are PS3 games so they don't look bad but they also don't play perfectly either.
3 Remastered's pool physics are a little fucked up cuz they increased thr framerate from 30 to 60, but didnt update the gameplay logic, so you might see goofy things like plants swaying twice as fast, heat bar draining twice as fast, and the pool accuracy being off. The rest od the game plays fine otherwise (...well as fine as 3 can play >_>)I wish devs would go back and fix shit like that. There is no way they don't know about the bug. They just never felt like devoting time to fixing it

Is it still possible to complete the pool in yakuza 3 remastered?Yeah. It's tricky but it's doable.

Yeah but it's really annoying. There's probably mods to fix it thoughNo use for console players though unfortunately
No use for console players though unfortunatelyI think the Xbox version might be okay, but the PS4 and PC versions are definitely fucked up
