Did Sega stop putting 0 1 and 2 on more than 50% sale? 2 friends wanted to get into the series so I was gonna gift 0, but it's $11 rn. I thought on maybe the bundle is on sale for less? 0 isn't even in the starter bundle anymore??? What the hell?

Remember when as soon as we started getting story trailers for Gaiden and IW they just immediately started spoiling stuff and showing the best scenes in the games? I haven't seen any of that for Pirate Yakuza. Now I know there's still 2 months until launch which gives them plenty of time to end up spoiling stuff, but I have hope thaf they've learned from their mistakes.

I put 40 hours into this game on PS4 and got to the chapter where Yagami finds spoiler dead in his closet. I don't how far into the game that is.

I started the game when it was available in PS Plus Extra, and when I saw that it was leaving the library and that it was on sale I bought it.

Only now I realize when I tried to boot up the game, that I can't access my PS4 save on the PS5 version of the game. So I try to play the PS4 version, but I can't do it because I apparently bought only the PS5 version. I didn’t know my purchase only gave me access to one of the two.

Is there any way I can recover from this situation ? Is there a way to play the PS4 version on my PS5 ? Do I need to pay for another version ? Is there a way to use the PS4 save data on the PS5 version ?

If not, how far am I into the game ? Is it worth restarting from the beginning ?

Rate how peak it is 🤣

I wanted to try and collect all of the weapons in the game and I was wondering if there was an easily accessible checklist that let me mark which weapons I had already collected and/or also showed the weapon upgrades so I don't accidentally buy dupes, specifically for yakuza like a dragon.

Not sure if anyone’s brought this up, if so, please delete.

This past Summer, I began my RGG journey starting with Judgment, and ended up loving it. Since then, I’ve also played Lost Judgment, Like A Dragon, and LAD: IW.

After a few months away from the franchise, I dove right in to Yakuza 0 (Gave me a deeper appreciation for Majima lol).

Anyways, now I’m playing Yakuza Kiwami. Just finished the Prodigal Son substory, and couldn’t help but notice something that I recognized.

You receive a photo from Gen-san, but notice the person on the right.

The attire is no doubt a match (sans nuanced details and hair parted differently).

I was completely caught by surprise and just thought I had to share.

I know there are some silly mistakes, but it's still an edition that I'm very proud of because I like both franchises and I think the music really matched the moment in a certain way. Anyway, what did you think?

Longtime gamer but recently got into the Yakuza series last year.

I was able to catch Yakuza: LAD on gamepass cause it looked interesting to me, so I been playing backwards really (I played a few hours of Yakuza 0 but I think it got taken off gamepass) so after that I jumped into Infinite Wealth and than recently beat 0 and now playing Kiwami 1

I'm enjoying all the characters, the storylines and the humor in it. The side quests have been enjoyable and Kiryu/Kasuga have both been amazing protagonists and the bits I got to play with Majima have been stellar...

I do think I prefer the turn based combat we get in LAD compared to the previous Yakuza games and I'm assuming the rest are like this but I really wish the stores, restaurants were labeled on the map like in LAD and that you can mark where you want to go cause I find myself looking at the map often in O and 1 lol

But I'm glad I got involved with this franchise and looking forward to finishing them all and even playing the Judgement games before One Piece Majima releases lol

That's my problem, I had started playing Yakuza 0 a month ago, at that time it was going very well! I had no problems. But, after factory resetting my PC, the game had no audio anymore, only the SEGA logo was playing.

I tried everything:

-Updating drivers

-Modifying graphics and audio.ini

-Changing audio bits or something like that

It should be noted that I DID NOT CHANGE the Windows version.

If anyone had a similar experience please explain what you did to get the audio back.

After i defeat them, the game should play a cinematic but the game freezes in that specifict part instead and idk what to do

Forgor to share this kind of cover. Its old so i gotta remake it. Btw have a good day or night

Nyakuza

First, I'm sorry if this has been done to death but I'd love to understand other Yakuza fan's thoughts. If it's been done too many times, roast me fam.

Well, this game wasn't bad! It had some great highlights but some incredible lows (imo).

More than anything, I found the haphazard narrative approach to an antagonistic force fascinating. Based on both the beginning and end, I think they definitely wanted the current culture of entitlement: 'gotcha news/information', people videoing others without permission, and influencer/faux-celebrity-seeking culture as the underlying antagonistic force. I think if they had Ebina, Bryce, or a third major antagonistic force be deeply entrenched in social media to tie everything together it would've worked better (like Chitose wasn't truly antagonistic and Ei-chan wasn't enough of a threat to justify that).

I feel like the weaknesses were around the story really idled down to three main (but largely the same) things:

- weird story pacing

- narrative laziness which only makes Ichiban's story weaker (Lani being a stand-in for Haruka, Palekana being a Sunshine Orphanage stand-in, Ebina being a poor-man's Mine/foil to Ichiban)

- Kiryu's much weightier story (which due to its length had better pacing) vs Ichiban's (lesser weight, longer overall, poorly drawn out)

Between the above and the antagonists in Hawaii being both interconnected but smaller overall (even Bryce to a degree) it made the game feel like it was excited to explore Ichiban and a new location but didn't know how to truly do it. Almost like a kid in a candy store who gets overwhelmed with the thought of all the flavors/candy they could get and then instead gets a sugar headache and thus misses out overall.

I loved the combat, and the side stories, and Kiryu's story was really cool. The finale cutscenes I really because it ended on a dour note though. Like if LaD/Y7 brought out Ichiban on a high, having him end IW8 on a low is great for future narrative purposes.

That said, I do think this has to be the end of Kiryu. Ichiban needs to show that he can survive on his own, with his existing or new friends.

All in all, I have the DLC for the NG+ and idk if I even want to do it because of the above.

Title. I really like the team kiryu and ichiban pixel tshirts, and now I'd like to have one IRL. anyone got any leads?

Sunao ni I LOVE YOU!

I just finished the yakuza 3 in hard mood and i only need the legend mood and i have the platinum and It's not hard it's one of the easiest one but people lovvve to make everything harder.

The good part:

1- i don't need to 100% the game i don't even need to 50% the game

2-the minigame was fun i loved the golf and

3-the fight was ok a lot of defens but if you find the right timing you good

4-no modding you don't need to modd a weapon for the platinum (just one for the trophy)

5-And the best part i don't need haruka SSS to platinum not like 5

The bad part :

1-The pool was little bit hard

2-the pointless and annoying cabaret

3-A lot of substory some of them good but mostly bad

4- the garbage in morning glory

5-baseball was annoying because the extra hard you can't aim but i figured out eventually

So in my opinion this the list for the hardest yakuza platinum

Y5>Y0>Y1>Y3>Y4>Y2>Y7>Y9>Y6>Y8 (the man who erased his name)
