It depends on what experience you want to have with the series. Let's say: ---For the plot only, I suggest you play Yakuza 6 and Yakuza 7 before starting Like a Dragon Gaiden, this game explains what happened to Kazuma Kiryu after the events of Yakuza 6 and serves as a bridge between his appearances in Yakuza 7 and Infinite Wealth (Yakuza 8). ------ For 100 % Personally, I've always tried to vary as soon as possible during the game: minigames, substories, Grind, training missions, story or learning the combat/bosses. it's up to you, I've never felt bored or frustrated with this method, except ryu ga gotoku ishin and hokuto ga gotoku. In any case, since yakuza 6, platinums or 100% in yakuza series have become pretty lenient for everyone, Although, ryu ga gotoku ishin remake has a horrible grind system, but it's kind of the exception.
@@DanteDevil12 Thank you for the advice you gave, maybe I will finish the whole series first, occasionally do minigames or substories to strengthen Kiryu, after everything is finished, then I will do 100% progress
@@DanteDevil12correction: yes, Yakuza games have become easier to 100% since 6, but that's because they put the really difficult stuff in the Judgements
@@pastor1339 I agree with you about judgment ps4 " vanilla", for puyo puyo, pinball, I also want to add drone time attacks. The ps5 version is nerfed, but there's still drone minigame. But for lost judgment, I was surprised at how easy it was the game. Drone racing is nerfed, robot minigame is overatted, I don't remember anything that bothered me in the slightest during my 100 %.
Which combat engine do you prefer? Yakuza 0/kiwami 1 engine or the new dragon engine? I really don't like the ragdoll physics of the new engine even though the graphics look better
I prefer the old engine, But lost judgment has a great level of depth, although I haven't played the game too much for the combat system, I tried to finish it quickly and i made a mistake. Gaiden for me is very fun, too.
2/10. I did 100 % in every game and i finished them pretty quickly considering the average of most players in terms of hours for the completion by TT E exophase stats. (including The OG Ishin and hokuto ga gotoku) and I did again yk3,yk5,yk4 several times. For me it's not a satisfying platinum, it's definitely too easy. The platinum difficulty doesn't have to be too grindy like ishin remake or hotuto ga gotoku, but it doesn't have to be that easy either, it's ridiculous. Platinum can be achieved in 20 hours, in fact I have seen players who have done it in 15 hours during the first time. The platinums of yk3, judgment vanilla, kiwami 1 or original ishin were much more satisfying. It would also be good as kiwami 2 or lost judgment, very enjoyable.
Congrats on the plat
It's better, if i complete all story yakuza 0-7 after that, i completed 100% progress?

am i the only one still naming yakuza these games? i dont like the actual name so for me gonna be yakuza for the rest of my life
Same, I've been playing this series for so long time, it's kind hard for me not to say "yakuza", Although I understand the reason for the change.
For me the "most actual" name has been " Ryu Ga Gotoku " and I can't get that out of my mind lol

what do you think about difficulty?
2/10.

I gotta say I am really disappointed with this game. Not because of the story, the story is great but the combat system is absolute trash.
Play with the LaD Gaiden Deluxe mod. 10/10 combat lol
