Be prepared for Yakuza kiwami to be great as well but with half the content. I'm glad I played kiwami first.

I've played 1 through 5 and it might be the most consistent game series in memory. They're all good games.

Looking forward to getting around to 0 and 6.
---

0 and 6 are both great.

Kiwami sucks. Take a LOOOONG break after 0 before you play it. Cuz content is lacking in comparison and the combat is horrible. Every boss is a massive, unflinching sponge and it gets old fast.

Ill take my chances for $10 new steel book edition.

I liked Kiwami. As long as you go in knowing that it's a remake of the very first game on PS2, you'll enjoy it. Plus the new Nishki scenes flesh his character out WAAAAAY more than the original.
---

I played 3 and 4. Loved the shit out of them.
---

dont neglect the real estate and cabaret mini-games / sidequests. they will be the _only_ way to get money sufficient to upgrade the end-game skills.
---

Real Estate gets you so much money. I legit spent like 20 hours doing it before moving on with the game lol
---

FYI yakuza 0 is $20 permanently now on psn
---

In 0 kiryu can max money pretty easily and fast with Mr.Shakedown.

The story is great. the boss gameplay is just ruined starting with Shimano in chp2 and then I think there was ONE boss who wasn't an unflinching damage sponge after him, but that's it
---

Yeah, that Chapter 2 boss was pretty bad. I don't remember the bosses too well, which probably isn't a good thing >_>

That trick where you get that buff that gives you 50% more money from beating enemies? Yeah, I used the shit out of that by letting Shakedown take my money and using Tiger Drop to get it back lol

Tell me more. I'm in chapter 9 now and just starting to dig into side quests, real estate, and money in general.

So here's the trick:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/816306-yakuza-0/faqs/74451/mr-shakedown

The interesting thing about him is not just that he keeps coming back with more money, but if you have the CP award called "Mr. Shakedown's Deep Pockets", you'll get 1.5 times anything you pull off of him. This makes his normal 1 billion in the late game turn into 1.5 billion, but you can go further with that idea. If you wish to balloon your money to new heights, go out and purposely lose to Mr. Shakedown, then find him later and apply as many multipliers as possible. Defeat him and you'll rake in a mad stack. This mostly only works for Kiryu, as he's the one to get that reward. Repeat this with the same amount of money and you can turn 5 billion into 7.5 billion, then 11 billion, then 16.5 billion, and so on upwards until you feel like stopping.

I'd like the option in kiwami just to hear mark Hamill but from everything I hear, most of it is terrible. I'm find with the sub we get.

You can lose to Mr shakedown as kiryu and then switch to goro and beat him to transfer funds.
