I beat 3 over the weekend. I thought the story fell to pieces in the final act. I also thought the pacing was some of the worst pacing in a video game ever

But overall I enjoyed it a lot. More than kiwami 1. Liked the story more than kiwami 2's but 3's is still pretty bad. Kiryu is rock-eatingly stupid in it too

Combat wasn't as bad as everyone says it is. My brother legit thought I was trying to start shit when I said I breezed through the game after like chapter 5 or so

Looking forward to 4 tho, for sure. Really awesome series lol

The combat in 3 isn't so bad but the enemies blocking got real annoying. I enjoyed it.

3 is universally accepted as one of the worst Yakuza games along with 4.

It's basically: 0 = 7 > K2 = 5 > K1= 6 > 3 = 4

Yakuza 3 can only be so bad since it gives us Rikiya and Mine.

Yeah the over blocking pissed me off. Thankfully it's fixed in Y4.

both of these guys SUCK

Rikiya was funny at times and an alright dude. He was too much of a stereotype tho. Especially the whole ending of his story, just absurdity. Mine was boring and forgettable imo

well i'd only rate them from a gameplay perspective since i havent liked any of the stories yet

K2 > 0 > 3 > 1

Looks like there's nowhere to go but up, so that gets me stoked!

idk i feel like the blocking was wayyyy worse in Kiwami. In this one it was easily to utilize weapons/heat moves and get behind enemies or corner trap them

0 is automatically above everything else in terms of gameplay because of the different styles

Kiwami is a close second because you don't play as Majima, essentially cutting the gameplay in half, yet having more variety then the rest of the series.

Love the styles, and deff prefer them. But the engine in K2 omg, so smooth. Felt like such an unhittable badass. Dumpstered the boss in like 40 seconds

I still literally have no idea why Majima was even playable in 0. He's wildly different (and totally irrelevant) in 1. Barely relevant in 2. Barely in 3 at all.

Because people played those games and were like "Man, this Majima guy seems cool. I want to see more of him" and the developers apparently felt the same way.

My take on what I've played so far

0 > K2 > Like a Dragon >> Kiwami

Just started Judgment, then I'll move on through the Kiryu games

Well he's not cool in 1 since he's just the Joker in that. But like, he has his 1 cool moment in 2 (off screen) and in 3 he doesn't really do anything. Tho his new eyepatch and suit are dope af

Just such a weird character to give a game to IMO

Basically this, Majima has always been a fan favorite and 0 is the closest thing we'll get to a "Majima" game.

If you hit 3 I'm curious as to whether you put it ahead of or behind kiwami. i haven't play 7 but discounting that, it looks like our thoughts line up pretty closely

I don't care what anyone says, Rikiya's death scene was very emotional. I couldn't take seeing my boy cry like that. Also, I liked Rikiya in general lol

I'll talk more about it after work but i'll give you it was sad at first. It just goes on for so long and the shit he keeps saying is comical. It also didn't need to happen - the writers need to stop leaving a conscious beaten bad guy lying there right next to a gun

Oh yea for sure. That pisses me off so much. "Hey guy who wants to kill me. I'm sure you'll take this ass whooping with honor and not pick up the gun that's a couple inches/feet away from you and use it."

4 is a lot better than 3. You get to play as different characters with different fight styles, so you'll get a decent break from Kiryu. Combat, graphics, pacing, and story are much better, although the ending is completely nonsensical still.

I feel like 3 tried the hardest to be politically and globally relevant what with the Western connection and the whole resort deal, but it's still silly.

It also tried super hard with larger-than-life characters. Especially Kanda and Tamashiro (who literally cackles like a supervillain as he knocks over an orphanage).

Oh my god that reminds me of perhaps my biggest complaint

Mwuhahaha we are an evil illuminati group of billionaire cyber terrorists. And we're all here, in person, in the presence of numerous ppl who want us dead or imprisoned. Mwuhahaha

Why would they all come out of hiding at the same time in the same place >.>

I don't rank straight down the line. I have three bins:
Exemplary - 0, 7
Great - All the rest
Good - Kiwami, 6, Dead Souls

6 is the absolute low point of the series, including Dead Souls
Sorry, but 6 and K2 were my favorites of the series. I never played Dead Souls so I can't comment on it. However, I heard it's FPS so I don't think I want to try it out. I'm currently playing Like a Dragon and loving it.

sony backed down on closing the store, so you got time

Its a third person shooter and its mostly fine but you aim with the left stick which feels unnatural the entire time
Good Lord, I'm better with third person, but having to aim with the left stick = fuck that.
