The pager thing is pretty clever. When reading the numbers out in Japanese it is 7=na (short for nana) 2=ni 4=shi 10=te (short for English ten) 6=ru (short for roku) "Nani shiteru" or "whatcha up to?" Since it is a pain in the ass to use Japanese symbols with a pager (only 3 buttons for over 2000 kanji and 92 symbols in Japanese's other two alphabets) it is far easier to use numbers to represent sounds instead.
@ReefPlaysGames you need to work on your blocking though. also quick tip, hitting enemies from behind will always land and it also prevents them from guarding. it also breaks their guard.
welcome to the fanbase kyoudai🍻 hope you play all the games including the spinoffs, Ishin and the Judgment games. you are in for a ride. Hope you enjoy!
Welcome to this journey! If you're to continue playing this series, play everything in these. Minigames and ESPECIALLY the side stories. Story is important, but side content in Yakuza games is as important as story. I wish you luck and good vibes!
Always good to hear people enjoy Yakuza! I can definitely understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea... but appreciate anyone who does get in to it! 👏
Yakzua is great. "This man is swoler than i thought" all the bosses are. Pro tip use the heat actions. Theres a bunch of context situations which are very cool.
Y0 is one of my favorite games. Its also weird how people like Kuze and Sagawa became favorites towards the end. Make sure you complete all substories to fight the true boss of the game!
@ReefPlaysGames oh yeah, they can be time consuming but it's worth it. Both majima and kiryu has a fight with them each so you can focus on either one.
If you like being rewarded for style-switching, they really incentivize it later in the series, especially in Kiwami (the remake of Yakuza 1) and the two Judgment spinoffs. (set in the same world, but you're a private detective)
My favourite games series! I played Yakuza 0 back in 2019 and since then, I've played all of the games available on modern consoles. Utterly fantastic series, hope you have as much fun as I have and will continue to have with this incredible series
Yakuza 0 is an AWESOME game, I just wish it had a little less, y’know, softcore p0rn. Imagine somebody walking in on you when your just trying to play a substory or something
masterful gameplay my man, keep it up 🔥🔥🔥 one valuable tip: the more you use the same heat action in the same battle, the less damage you do for each of them (even with a diff enemy in the same battle) so switch shit up, use more heat actions and equip them weapons 💪💪💪 you got this
Yeah these games take a long time to platinum. But they ooze with flavor and style that you rarely find in other games. Even gameplay wise these games are not the best per se but the story and characters are so good and badass that it captivates from beginning to end. Also it’s learns you a lot about Japanese culture. It’s because of yakuza that I discovered shogi par example and all the kanji and hiragana/katakana on all the boards it’s fun when you know how to read it and start to recognise a lot of stuff. It’s just really well done.
Welcome to the family! Got into the Yakuza (or "Like A Dragon") saga just a couple years ago myself. It practically rekindled my love towards gaming after many years of drought. Now I've beaten all of the games in the chronological order, all the way to #7. I can honestly say that there has been no "bad" Yakuza game so far, even if there's clear ups and downs. If you plan on venturing further into this crazy yet emotional franchise, I do suggest looking up either the classic PS2 games or some restoration patches for the older titles. The Western releases did cut out a lot of stuff, and the remakes of the OG two titles leave a lot to be desired as-is.
Or just play the Kiwami games. Most of the cut stuff was in Yakuza 3 which had something like 30% of the side content removed. But Yakuza 3 in the HD collection has the content added back in. Minus a few things that were changed for the HD versions that were in most of the original versions. Some of the trans substory stuff was removed. They still have the trans characters but their content was reduced.
@@ReefPlaysGames might poke my head in later if i have time-though i’ll probably have to watch the vod-also, don’t worry if you want to take the game at a slower pace :) chapter two opens up a lot of things to explore
Yup I stream on Fridays! Here’s my “streams” playlist where you can find the past ones: ruclips.net/p/PLKyN2J-HeD_G0bhBWEDpXq_3NZqk5L88I&si=n5XTRqWydXwIOA8g
Okokokokok, but you have to understand, that now you simply cannot stop at 0. 0-6 + LAD games + Judgment. Let the brain rot consume you, there is no point of struggling But for real, be careful, this series could hook real bad. And Judgment, being a spin off series, has my favorite story(the first one) out of all the RGG games
4:30 Nah stand on it, you're completely right lmao Mf dirty asl and I actually like that, gives personality I'd say. (And green flies.) But personality, like Gotham

i am a simple guy, i see a guy play yakuza for the first time, i like and subscribe
omg sameee, yakuza fans just built different
Yakuza? You mean YAKUZE
Exactly 🤌
Same lol
@I_love_breald_and_Hungry_Jacks lololol
That first boss fight against Kuze, with pledge of demon playing, is such a good introduction to boss fights in the series.
My ringtone such a good tune right there with war maker with Mabuchi in like a dragon
For a newcomer you gave Kuze some work, i see mfs getting FOLDED left and right, but you made him sweat, actually impressive.
Thank you! I play a lot of souls games and sifu as well, so the transition wasn’t too bad.

Gotta say for a first time player you probably delivered the best beat down on Kuze I think I've ever seen. Bravo!
He deserved the beatdown so I tried my best!
@ReefPlaysGames you need to work on your blocking though.
also quick tip, hitting enemies from behind will always land and it also prevents them from guarding. it also breaks their guard.
Soon as you said im feeling this with bakamatai
I said
Welcome to the yakuza brotherhood my friend
You earned a subscriber
No better time to get into the series than now. Welcome to the Year of the Dragon!

Story is important, but side content in Yakuza games is as important as story.

Appreciate it, I’ll be streaming it on Fridays if you wanna stop by!
Always good to hear people enjoy Yakuza!
I can definitely understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea... but appreciate anyone who does get in to it! 👏
Thanks for watching! I’ll be streaming tonight too if you want to hang out and see more.
Yakzua is great. "This man is swoler than i thought" all the bosses are.
Pro tip use the heat actions. Theres a bunch of context situations which are very cool.
"No way there's a second phase"
Well, yeah. Technically.
And a third and a fourth
Y0 is one of my favorite games. Its also weird how people like Kuze and Sagawa became favorites towards the end.
Make sure you complete all substories to fight the true boss of the game!
Had no idea about the substories, thanks!
@ReefPlaysGames oh yeah, they can be time consuming but it's worth it. Both majima and kiryu has a fight with them each so you can focus on either one.
@@ryannem1216 Damn bros spoiling all the secret stuff
Oh so thats how you fight him, i didnt even know
@nintendosgamer2613 I didn't spoil anything. I simply explained how to get them and I encouraged the grind being worth it
i love watching people play this for the first time lol. its kind of old but is still watched upon and loved by new fans of the yakuza series.
If you like being rewarded for style-switching, they really incentivize it later in the series, especially in Kiwami (the remake of Yakuza 1) and the two Judgment spinoffs. (set in the same world, but you're a private detective)
We waiting for part 2
Streaming today around 5
