6 because it updates so much improving the presentation and how the disparate aspects of the game are brought together into one progression mechanic, not forgetting the awesome storytelling
God Of War recently came out it is facing basically no controversy despite staring a guy who literally murdered his entire family and then blamed the gods for it, America thinks Gouging Poseidon' eyes out in GoW3 is okay, but a cam show show is too much
erector500 you obviously haven't studied Americans then, many do not get uncomfortable with the "sexy stuff", but when it's unnecessarily put in, then of course it's fuckin weird, unless you're a lonely pervert who just wants to get it off instead of playing a game, then it's for you.
Don't smash on the hostess clubs and live chat mini games. Things like this are great and just a part of Japanese culture. The last thing i would ever want to see is their removal in a localization. Even kazuma kiryu needs to get his rocks off sometimes.
BlowCartz lol he literally said that he understands that they are part of the Japanese nightlife so he doesn't have a problem with their inclusion just for the sake of being there
You cannot deny though that whenever sex or anything of the sort is brought up in a videogame critics always start digging for those inconsistencies? In this case he even so kindly went out of his way to call everybody that shows any interest in hostess clubs as "mumbling creeps". The prejudice is strong with that one...
Quentin Els I'm not a kid, sir. And that is true, my mistake. I actually believed they were ps4 exclusives. The Irony is however, I never said they were at first. You commented 4 of those games are not exclusives as if I had. I had however, just stated a fact that the PS4 had those games.
Minh Duc the ign review was terrible. 6 is a vast improvement over the older games in many ways and they barely touched on them. 6 is an amazing game and I accept there are quite a few flaws, but the Gamespot review fairly balances the different aspects. It's a shame that Gamespot reviews are full of spoilers
Zack Smith me too, I loved, especially since, we were kept in limbo waiting for shen mue 3, so when Yakuza came out, it filled that void, and became one of my favourite series
@@tiffanynelson1467 6?Yeah 6 is completely awesome.....good thing about 6 is u dont really need to follow the story lines of the previous titles to truly understand what's going on....it helps to play the others first to meet some of the characters becuase most have reaccurring roles as well as how some of the wars began with some of the familys or clans but it's not really necessary....6 gives u a nice introduction to some of the main and characters and some of their backstories.....overall six has the best overall gameplay and mini games.....all sorte of cools stuff.....6 also was the first title for the new fighting mechanics with yakuza 2 kwimi following along with the new mechanics....at first I didn't like the new fighting mechs and grew to love them ....playing 0 know and as much as I do enjoy the old fighting style the new seems more fighting and realistic...... u will have no idea how unique this game is until u pop it in for the fist time....with that said I would then play 0 following kwimi 1 and 2 then just down the line
I just watched this review after watching the IGN version, ALL IGN did was whine and kept comparing it to the previous game and it was obvious the reviewer didn’t spent much time playing the game. This Review is so in-depth that I might be preordering, all the detailed game plays are what I’m looking for. Thank you. I review this review to be 10/10.
Gale Arcenal Gamespot is terrible for spoilers. I'm glad I played the game already because some of the most enjoyable moments from the game were spoilt here
Mr. Otaku200 when a game has a must play experience any number tagged to it will make the unique experience seem as if it compares to other 8/10 when it really doesn't. This game like nier or azuras wrath are experiences that can not be compared to other games. It should say 8/10 with a stamp of must play.
The person who makes Yakuza was a part of making Shenmue. It has a lot less boring grind though like carrying crates around (and when it does something silly like that it's a one and done joke substory) But yeah, Yakuza is a lot more fun but beyond that similar.
Shenmue is the reason why Sega is out of the console market. It’s only after Sega become a 3rd party developer that the Yakuza series comes to life. And achieved what Shenmue could not.
Im still really sad and upset that this will be the last game as Kiryu Kazuma. No one can replace him or compare to such an amazing character. Though, I'm just glad he's alive. I'll be waiting for cameos in Yakuza 7
Yazuka games are the spiritual successor of what Shenmue started. Makes me want to get a ps4 just to play it once (even though I dont even get time so I dont play games anymore)
The facial models during cutscenes in this game and Yakuza 0 are phenomenal. Bioware should have adopted the engine when they made Mass Effect Andromeda. lol
Differently of IGN review. This review is much more complete and shows much more features of the game. This game is unique and the conclusion of a long story saga. Even the Legend Takeshi Kitano is on the Game/ But still I can't accept nothing but at least 9/10. Famitsu was serious about this game and gave 10/10/9/10 and 92, 93. But the western players must to know, this games was realeased in Japan in 2016, and we just playing 2 Years after. This game is amazing for 2016 and still really good for this year game. And all Live chats women and Hostess are all AV Actress Idols from Japan, and they made an amazing live contest in Japan to select the best girls for the game.
i never had an issue with the side stories models, i mean they are meant to be side stuff to do, and i assume there is a ton of them just like past games that i love :) but i love that they took the time to voice them now honestly thats all i wanted, even if i don't understand the language, its good to at least know how they feeling and stuff :) you get what i mean lol
Justin Y. Only 33.4% of Americans have a four-year degree and those Americans earn nearly double the amount as adults with high school diploma. So yes, having a degree makes you more intelligent than most people and statistically more likely to succeed in life. As for your theory about me being Edmond, I sadly must inform you that you are incorrect. I once read that irrational people with no control over their lives are more likely to believe everything is a grand conspiracy. You've managed to lend credence to that argument.
Reanot The words "baseless" and "assumptions" do not constitute as "big words." Now I'm absolutely certain that you've never stepped foot on a college campus.
Doll College graduates have higher IQ's on average than high school graduates. I never mentioned anything about wealth. My statement regarding college graduates earning nearly double the amount of high school graduates refers to INCOME. There is a DIFFERENCE. A study conducted at Ohio State University found a correlation between IQ scores and income. So let's recap: college graduates on average have higher IQ's than high school graduates. A study finds that those with higher IQ's tend to earn more income. Is it difficult to see how I arrived at my conclusion? My argument is supported by actual data while yours is based on raw emotion.
I have already pre ordered yak6 I can not wait, your vid made it look even better than I had hoped I loved hearing the new big mini game is online that could be interesting adition of gametime. If you think this looks great and wanna wet your whistle I highly recommend yak 0 and yak kiwami both incredible. Dont worry about the back story from games 2-3-4-5 I heard yak 6 has a memories menu you can go to and get the recap for every game before you hit new game. I am def gonna watch the yak 5 recap as I only got into the series with yak 0.
When i first played yakuza 0 i didn't think i would like it that much, but after giving it a chance i couldn't believe how fun and good the game was. I actually cared about the characters and everything and it's very rare for a game to do that for me. I'm honestly glad i played yakuza 0 and the other yakuza games. And i honestly can't wait to play yakuza 6
I'm a bit sad knowing this will be the last of yakuza series... I wish they will still make the sequels and I hope they will bring back that lady police from the Y2 or someone new...I mean a guy like Kiryu deserves a love life of his own
calitroit45 Correction: I mean, the last of Yakuza series featuring Kiryu as the main protagonist...it doesnt change the fact that I will miss Kiryu a lot though
calitroit45 yes I know he's older...that's exactly why I'm gonna miss him...that we no longer can play as him...featuring him as a NPC or a cameo will not feel the same...but it's not just him, I will also miss haruka, akiyama, date and those who are closely related to Kiryu
ever noticed how mainstream channels like IGN and gamespot aren't getting as many views as youtubers like angry joe and AVGN anymore? i guess lying to your fanbase to sell crappy games does take it's toll. yakuza 6 is gonna be badass though
Lewis the very first sentence is correct. The second is just not true. He talked about clubs for like 10 seconds in an inoffensive way and people became enraged.
People who played the japanese version once it is released say the story was horrible specially the ending but here they say its good! Im realy confused dont know if i should buy it or not
Always. The Yakuza games always deserve a buy even a pre-order. This ends the story of the main character it would be like missing the end to a movie you just have to play it and its never said it was bad by the reveiwers in any way even other youtubers. People just liked one game more and this one focuses more on the story and feel than the others which is good. This games has no DLC, no microtransaction, not loot boxes, its just the entire full completed game day one with a wonderful game and story in it. You should definitely get it. If you haven't played the past ones get a PS3 or something and play the rest so good.
Story is not the only thing Yakuza series has, you know. Past games already have too much melodrama and stupid plot twists I stop caring anymore and treat the main story as entertaining but not too deep B-movie. I play the series for the fun stuff and experience.
Buy it. I played it. I really enjoyed the story. Some of the criticism is justified, but on the whole it was very good. There are a lot of people who didn't like the endings of Uncharted 4 and the Last of Us. I'm not surprised that people on the internet are being negative, but if you want to enjoy the game you will. I'm not sure what there isn't to like. It's a typical Japanese and Yakuza story, there are mysterious circumstances that could be explained quicker, but the story is supposed to support a game.
LLK CNHN after playing kiwami last month i thought yakuza was one of these games that the story is a major part of its experience didnt like the open worl and the compat but i fuckin loved kiwamis story and related so much with its charactes and here you go telling me that there is even more serious story flaws besides (6) in the previous games makes me want to forget about the whole series
LLK CNHN I love the main story in the series, but it's not supposed to be the most solid plot. It's always entertaining and intriguing though. The sub stories are real standouts in 6 because they are fully voiced and generally appear to have been given a lot more love
This review does talk about some of the stuff that bothered me in the game. I feel this game has made improvements in some ways, but has sacrificed other things for it. Fully voiced conversations, even outside of story scenes. At the cost of poorly animated models. Like this video showed, characters standing completely still with only their lips moving is very common. At some point i'd check if they even blinked. (they do) No more loading screens for indoor locations. At the cost of butchering the framerate. Also, im not too impressed by the combat. It felt more difficult and chaotic, wich can be a good thing. But in this case it sometimes felt frustrating, especially when the slightest hits stagger Kiryu. Combined with a very low EXP reward, I found myself avoiding combat more than usual in a Yakuza game. I didnt notice much of the reduction of side games. As the reviewer said, theyre quite robust and I enjoyed most of them. The webchat game is funny when you do it for the first time. But after that theres no reason to just google the girls and see so much more. ;)
Mk Ultra I’m almost certain they pushed it because the game suffered from huge FPS issue in Japan. I know they lowered the graphics because Japan was getting sub 30 a lot. It also has a lot of competition this month, which wouldn’t be a very smart move.
I haven't played 6 yet, but I've never found the cabaret to be objectifying or off-key for Kiryu's character. Setting what they're maybe like in the real world aside, Kiryu (and the other characters) always take a concerned interest in the girls. They get to know the girls, offer them advice, and always ultimately wind up coming to the rescue in some way by the end of the side story. It can be a bit white-knighty at times, but you never get the feeling that they're going to the cabarets solely for their own gratification. Now the live-chat, maybe.
First of all thing Yakuza is a beat them up game. Next, it belongs to the group that you can call “low budget”. But despite all that, I still find the series more entertaining than a vast majority of recent high profile triple A. After all, that’s why people play games. To have fun.
As a long time fan i was a little disappointed about the ending of this game... Kiryu deserved better. Also I was disappointed about the lack of amazing boss sett pieces like the previous games. That being said tho, the game was amazing from start to finish. But imo it’s not the best in the series. I give it a 9/10
Review copy were sent to publishers by SEGA. May be they were confident on quality of Yakuza 6 and thought these positive reviews can be type of marketing.
Ishtiaque Hossain thanks for your reply/info. however, isnt it not the most strategical way to promote this game by reviewing it way early before the release ? i noticed some games are reviewed in the same week of release instead :(
Yes but I think SEGA is trying to boost pre-order sales and another reason I think they distributed review copies that early is God of War which comes 3 days later Yakuza 6 release and it is clear that all the gaming websites will go crazy reviewing and previewing God of war during that week. Yakuza 6 will get overshadowed by God of War which has created so much hype since the Sony 2016 E3.
Woa much better than IGN, just came from the IGN review, the reviewer was so inept he probably didnt play the game as he made a mistake naming the protagonist lol
Yakuza 2 is my all time favorite! Can't wait to play the Kiwami version and see Kaoru again! Yakuza 6 looks promising though! I'll miss Kiryu so much. Why did they get the game so early ? Isn't it the release is on April?
Probably too late, but she went to America before the events of Yakuza 3 and never said a word after she was gone. Which was stupid writing cause she “promised” to be back with Kiryu and yet she wasn’t referenced nor shown for the rest of the series. Although not proven, I would like to believe that after the events of Yakuza 6, Kiryu lived a quiet life with Sayama.
Die ps2 Version hatte noch deutsche Untertitel (zb yakuza 1) die Reihe scheint sich aber bei uns zu schlecht verkauft zu haben und man hat dt Untertitel einfach ausgelassen. Solltest du englisch können hol dir unbedingt die Teile habe selten eine so gute reihe gespielt
This month we have game like Nino Kuni 2, Yakuja 6 & God of war. I'm freaking screwd. I'm a budget gamer n i have to buy all this games. But it will be very hard for me to buy on lunch.
So do they want newcomers like me to play yakuza 0 then yakuza kiwami then yakuza 6 and then eventually go yakuza 2 onwards. Or were yakuza 2-5 not very good and they are saving you time
I've never played any of these Yakuza games before but I must say... they look very fun! Would I be confused If I never played the previous titles before?
If you got access to a PS3 I would recommend playing Yakuza 5, I think it has the most comprehensive Story in the Series and ends on a cliffhanger that gets resolved in 6. If you only have a ps4 and only want to play one game make it Kiwami. It's true, that zero is a little better... But story- and character wise Kiwami is more significant to understanding 6 🙂
The Merchant I love 0, but it was painful going back to the old engine after starting the series with 6. I need that great presentation and fully voiced sub stories
Lol this would sell for shit on xbox one, keep this ps4 exclusive, it doesn't belong anywhere else after all these years. I'm fine with games like Hokuto ga Gotoku going on pc as well though. I'd still ultimately get it on playstation though.
Which Yakuza game is your favorite?
GameSpot yakuza 3
6 because it updates so much improving the presentation and how the disparate aspects of the game are brought together into one progression mechanic, not forgetting the awesome storytelling
ALL OF THEM!
always the newer ones like yakuza 6 soon
Yakuza 0 is the most complete game, so far, for me. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I can't wait for Yakuza 6!
Somehow americans always gets uncomfortable with the "sexy" stuff, but they are ok with someone curbstomping a guy.
No idiot it’s not all Americans. The same Americans that hate “sexy” stuff also hate violence and cursing. We call them feminists
God Of War recently came out it is facing basically no controversy despite staring a guy who literally murdered his entire family and then blamed the gods for it, America thinks Gouging Poseidon' eyes out in GoW3 is okay, but a cam show show is too much
erector500 you obviously haven't studied Americans then, many do not get uncomfortable with the "sexy stuff", but when it's unnecessarily put in, then of course it's fuckin weird, unless you're a lonely pervert who just wants to get it off instead of playing a game, then it's for you.
@@charliechan6892 I'm American and can confirm that people get uncomfortable with "sexy stuff".
americans, right?
Don't smash on the hostess clubs and live chat mini games. Things like this are great and just a part of Japanese culture. The last thing i would ever want to see is their removal in a localization. Even kazuma kiryu needs to get his rocks off sometimes.
BlowCartz lol he literally said that he understands that they are part of the Japanese nightlife so he doesn't have a problem with their inclusion just for the sake of being there
rays there's still an inconsistency though so it's a valid complaint.
You cannot deny though that whenever sex or anything of the sort is brought up in a videogame critics always start digging for those inconsistencies? In this case he even so kindly went out of his way to call everybody that shows any interest in hostess clubs as "mumbling creeps". The prejudice is strong with that one...
Yep. The cringe is real when someone uses the term "creepy perv" in a yakuza review.
Tony Hybo
They're americans, cut off some guys head and throw an axe at people - fine, but a girl in a bikini? Disgusting!
PS4 had Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Ni No Kuni 2, The Last of Us 2, Days Gone, Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Neir Automata. Like Gosh Dang.
bigzachful 4 of those aren't PS4 exclusive, including nioh you didn't mention
Quentin Els
All of those are PS4 Exclusives...
bigzachful sorry kid I can play them on my PC and my PS3, nothing exclusive about them, go look up the definition of the word
Quentin Els
I'm not a kid, sir. And that is true, my mistake. I actually believed they were ps4 exclusives. The Irony is however, I never said they were at first. You commented 4 of those games are not exclusives as if I had. I had however, just stated a fact that the PS4 had those games.
bigzachful lol you literally said “All of those are PS4 exclusives” in your second comment. Are you high?
Better than ign
Minh Duc the ign review was terrible. 6 is a vast improvement over the older games in many ways and they barely touched on them. 6 is an amazing game and I accept there are quite a few flaws, but the Gamespot review fairly balances the different aspects. It's a shame that Gamespot reviews are full of spoilers
Minh Duc agreed
Why? Just because they gave it a higher score?
Its bc its just to complex for them. I believe ign always have the yakuza games pretty avarage marks. Bc that cod man gotta have that 9
Lin Kuei Avenger yakuza 0 got an 8.5
Now don’t tell me that’s an avg score
Even a 7.5 is not an avg score
Ps4 owners, please give this game/series a chance, it is Amazing.
Zack Smith me too, I loved, especially since, we were kept in limbo waiting for shen mue 3, so when Yakuza came out, it filled that void, and became one of my favourite series
I shall i wanna get this one it looks the most interesting out of the others
@@tiffanynelson1467 I played them all and i can simply say 6 is my favorite!!!There all great tho.....6 to me had the best story next to 0
james haven cool cause that's the first one i'm gonna try out
@@tiffanynelson1467 6?Yeah 6 is completely awesome.....good thing about 6 is u dont really need to follow the story lines of the previous titles to truly understand what's going on....it helps to play the others first to meet some of the characters becuase most have reaccurring roles as well as how some of the wars began with some of the familys or clans but it's not really necessary....6 gives u a nice introduction to some of the main and characters and some of their backstories.....overall six has the best overall gameplay and mini games.....all sorte of cools stuff.....6 also was the first title for the new fighting mechanics with yakuza 2 kwimi following along with the new mechanics....at first I didn't like the new fighting mechs and grew to love them ....playing 0 know and as much as I do enjoy the old fighting style the new seems more fighting and realistic...... u will have no idea how unique this game is until u pop it in for the fist time....with that said I would then play 0 following kwimi 1 and 2 then just down the line
Character too perfect. Y’all complain. Character is actually a flawed human being. Y’all still complain.
Yakuza is one of the best series ever!! If you never play Yakuza 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5... you dont really understood what is this about. Yakuza 6 == GOTY.
you forgot number zero.
I just watched this review after watching the IGN version, ALL IGN did was whine and kept comparing it to the previous game and it was obvious the reviewer didn’t spent much time playing the game.
This Review is so in-depth that I might be preordering, all the detailed game plays are what I’m looking for. Thank you. I review this review to be 10/10.
IGN is like a teenager need more bombastic scene..
meanwhile Gamespot is like old man that seeing more refine things..
Ign giving it a 7.5 for feeling too familiar when they give CoD 8s and 9s every year, gtfo.
at least the context is more reasonable other than repetitive...
LN2233 Yeah they do.
This game is a 9/10 game, both understold it.
IGN and Gamespot are just mad that girls are sexy in this game.
Did you say a cat cafe ?? here take my money
Dude choose your clips carefully. This is full of spoilers. And I'm not talking story related. That fighter reveal was wasted.
Gale Arcenal Gamespot is terrible for spoilers. I'm glad I played the game already because some of the most enjoyable moments from the game were spoilt here
Yeah you're totally right
If you like Oldboy you will like yakuza series.
The josh brolin version ??
8/10
You're welcome.
For what?
Mr. Otaku200 when a game has a must play experience any number tagged to it will make the unique experience seem as if it compares to other 8/10 when it really doesn't. This game like nier or azuras wrath are experiences that can not be compared to other games. It should say 8/10 with a stamp of must play.
Larry Medina So it's OK to dive into this?
Mr. Otaku200 if I were u I would plays zero then this. That was what they had in mind.
Larry Medina ok
This might sound stupid but, Is Yakuza series somehow inspired by shenmue ??
It is its spiritual successor. I'd say Yakuza is the more mature but younger sister.
Definitely. It's very different in tone though.
The person who makes Yakuza was a part of making Shenmue.
It has a lot less boring grind though like carrying crates around (and when it does something silly like that it's a one and done joke substory)
But yeah, Yakuza is a lot more fun but beyond that similar.
Found the guy who's never seen a kdrama.
It's based on japanese crime cinema with some superhumans for good measure because video games and sega.
Shenmue is the reason why Sega is out of the console market. It’s only after Sega become a 3rd party developer that the Yakuza series comes to life. And achieved what Shenmue could not.
Im still really sad and upset that this will be the last game as Kiryu Kazuma. No one can replace him or compare to such an amazing character. Though, I'm just glad he's alive. I'll be waiting for cameos in Yakuza 7
All these pros. And only 8 why not 9 :( come on gamespot. It's Kiryu final chapter. :(
Becuase he didnt like objectification of women. he was OK with thousands of men getting their heads bashed in though.
8 is not a bad score it means a great game with some issues stop moaning.
Bristolian Gamer lol
Yakuza is better than games that get 9's and 10's though.
It's
1) Too niche
2) Disgusting feminist reviewer
Yazuka games are the spiritual successor of what Shenmue started. Makes me want to get a ps4 just to play it once (even though I dont even get time so I dont play games anymore)
Please tell me Hitomi Tanaka is in the live chat
sadly not
The facial models during cutscenes in this game and Yakuza 0 are phenomenal. Bioware should have adopted the engine when they made Mass Effect Andromeda. lol

10/10 Anri Okita inclusion
A series that all smart PS4 console owners should buy. Not shitty games like CoD and Tekken.
i never had an issue with the side stories models, i mean they are meant to be side stuff to do, and i assume there is a ton of them just like past games that i love :) but i love that they took the time to voice them now honestly thats all i wanted, even if i don't understand the language, its good to at least know how they feeling and stuff :) you get what i mean lol
I see Yua Mikami, instant 10 out 10, Greatest game of all time, take that BOTW
the Tamiya guy is so freaking old while Kiryu looks like he's just started to age. lol
I just bought this for like 5 bucks on PS Store.
Good deal
Loving this review! So much better than ign's. The game is so fresh smooth, real fan would understand👍

Story is not the only thing Yakuza series has, you know. Past games already have too much melodrama and stupid plot twists I stop caring anymore and treat the main story as entertaining but not too deep B-movie. I play the series for the fun stuff and experience.
Buy it. I played it. I really enjoyed the story. Some of the criticism is justified, but on the whole it was very good. There are a lot of people who didn't like the endings of Uncharted 4 and the Last of Us. I'm not surprised that people on the internet are being negative, but if you want to enjoy the game you will. I'm not sure what there isn't to like. It's a typical Japanese and Yakuza story, there are mysterious circumstances that could be explained quicker, but the story is supposed to support a game.
LLK CNHN after playing kiwami last month i thought yakuza was one of these games that the story is a major part of its experience didnt like the open worl and the compat but i fuckin loved kiwamis story and related so much with its charactes and here you go telling me that there is even more serious story flaws besides (6) in the previous games makes me want to forget about the whole series
LLK CNHN I love the main story in the series, but it's not supposed to be the most solid plot. It's always entertaining and intriguing though. The sub stories are real standouts in 6 because they are fully voiced and generally appear to have been given a lot more love
The voice acting and cinematography are quite amazing
This review does talk about some of the stuff that bothered me in the game. I feel this game has made improvements in some ways, but has sacrificed other things for it.
Fully voiced conversations, even outside of story scenes. At the cost of poorly animated models. Like this video showed, characters standing completely still with only their lips moving is very common. At some point i'd check if they even blinked. (they do)
No more loading screens for indoor locations. At the cost of butchering the framerate.
Also, im not too impressed by the combat. It felt more difficult and chaotic, wich can be a good thing. But in this case it sometimes felt frustrating, especially when the slightest hits stagger Kiryu. Combined with a very low EXP reward, I found myself avoiding combat more than usual in a Yakuza game.
I didnt notice much of the reduction of side games. As the reviewer said, theyre quite robust and I enjoyed most of them. The webchat game is funny when you do it for the first time. But after that theres no reason to just google the girls and see so much more. ;)
this is such a good review wow
That lady at 02:50 knew that shit was about to go down
8:57 Takeshi Kitano... is that you??!
Okada...
Yano
Finally next gen games are starting To show up.
Defo has the best trophy list in the series
if this game is ready for a review, then why was it delayed for april?
Mk Ultra Rumors is that the physical copies had a problem
fabi_87 last year? It came out in 2015 lool
Mk Ultra I’m almost certain they pushed it because the game suffered from huge FPS issue in Japan. I know they lowered the graphics because Japan was getting sub 30 a lot. It also has a lot of competition this month, which wouldn’t be a very smart move.
i dont think they would want to compete with god of war tho
No it didnt, yakzua 6 came out in late 2016, your thinking of 0 which was a 2015 game.
Why is it ok to complain about the sexism in Japan but not ok in other places that have POC?
PlayAsia is releasing the English version on March 20th.
Honestly this is top 3 in the series for me, although I was unsure about it at first.
8!!!!! I would give them ten
I haven't played 6 yet, but I've never found the cabaret to be objectifying or off-key for Kiryu's character. Setting what they're maybe like in the real world aside, Kiryu (and the other characters) always take a concerned interest in the girls. They get to know the girls, offer them advice, and always ultimately wind up coming to the rescue in some way by the end of the side story. It can be a bit white-knighty at times, but you never get the feeling that they're going to the cabarets solely for their own gratification.
Now the live-chat, maybe.
Great game amazing and full of content. It is an amazing send off to the series for all yakuza fans. I give it a 9/10.
Does Shin Yakuza come out simultaneously worldwide?
김강준 we don't know yet but probably not even though the release dates have gotten closer and closer with eatch game
First of all thing Yakuza is a beat them up game. Next, it belongs to the group that you can call “low budget”. But despite all that, I still find the series more entertaining than a vast majority of recent high profile triple A. After all, that’s why people play games. To have fun.
the karaoke minigame is alone worth the price x D
Pocket FIGHTAAAA
As a long time fan i was a little disappointed about the ending of this game... Kiryu deserved better.
Also I was disappointed about the lack of amazing boss sett pieces like the previous games.
That being said tho, the game was amazing from start to finish.
But imo it’s not the best in the series.
I give it a 9/10
Kiryu-san is a beast!
Yeah okay, but what about performance on the Pro?
Watched through the play-through of Yakuza 6. While it is safe to say it was an amazing ride of feels, 6+ games still can't get me to like Haruka.
Much better than IGN
guys, how come the review is this early while the game will only be out one month from now ?
Review copy were sent to publishers by SEGA. May be they were confident on quality of Yakuza 6 and thought these positive reviews can be type of marketing.
Ishtiaque Hossain thanks for your reply/info. however, isnt it not the most strategical way to promote this game by reviewing it way early before the release ? i noticed some games are reviewed in the same week of release instead :(
Yes but I think SEGA is trying to boost pre-order sales and another reason I think they distributed review copies that early is God of War which comes 3 days later Yakuza 6 release and it is clear that all the gaming websites will go crazy reviewing and previewing God of war during that week. Yakuza 6 will get overshadowed by God of War which has created so much hype since the Sony 2016 E3.
Woa much better than IGN, just came from the IGN review, the reviewer was so inept he probably didnt play the game as he made a mistake naming the protagonist lol
Yakuza 2 is my all time favorite! Can't wait to play the Kiwami version and see Kaoru again!
Yakuza 6 looks promising though! I'll miss Kiryu so much.
Why did they get the game so early ? Isn't it the release is on April?
I came to know what happened to Sayama.
Probably too late, but she went to America before the events of Yakuza 3 and never said a word after she was gone. Which was stupid writing cause she “promised” to be back with Kiryu and yet she wasn’t referenced nor shown for the rest of the series.
Although not proven, I would like to believe that after the events of Yakuza 6, Kiryu lived a quiet life with Sayama.
I never knew this game had callbacks to the first one story wise.
The complaints about sexy mini games are SO STUPID. HE PROBABLY JUST PLAYED THIS 1
Yakuza looks like what shenmue 3 should look like.
Wieso kommt so ein fantastisches Spiel nur mit englischen Untertiteln?
Die ps2 Version hatte noch deutsche Untertitel (zb yakuza 1) die Reihe scheint sich aber bei uns zu schlecht verkauft zu haben und man hat dt Untertitel einfach ausgelassen. Solltest du englisch können hol dir unbedingt die Teile habe selten eine so gute reihe gespielt
Then Sega is still pissed over the demo
This month we have game like Nino Kuni 2, Yakuja 6 & God of war. I'm freaking screwd. I'm a budget gamer n i have to buy all this games. But it will be very hard for me to buy on lunch.
But Kiryu is canonically a pervert, havent you played all the other games?
Lol he is
No pool or bowling mini game?
Tyler Martin awesome. Wish there was pool though. It was my favorite mini game.
All of them my favorite
So do they want newcomers like me to play yakuza 0 then yakuza kiwami then yakuza 6 and then eventually go yakuza 2 onwards. Or were yakuza 2-5 not very good and they are saving you time
I would actually argue Yakuza 2 and 3 are the series high point.
4 however...
10 days left
hype 2 stronk
How did you get this game so early?? I thought this game will be release on April 17
I've never played any of these Yakuza games before but I must say... they look very fun! Would I be confused If I never played the previous titles before?
Captain Cartman Yeah, it's about 6ish games worth of content you're missing out, but if you want to start somewhere, yakuza 0 is the best rn
Captain Cartman not really, you can play this one and understand the story.
I hope this game didn't make any of your staff uncomfortable
It is a game or movie???????
Both
Seriously, does going to prison make you reverse age? Because Kiryu still looks 20.
Japanese don't age as much
So many great exclusive on ps4. Yakuza 6 is 83% on metacritic, most of them 90% !!!
I don't think you understand what makes this series great.
2 points off this game is perfect.
Fuck it. I'm sold. PS4 it is then.
I'm I best playing all of the PS4 yakuza before yakuza 6?
If you got access to a PS3 I would recommend playing Yakuza 5, I think it has the most comprehensive Story in the Series and ends on a cliffhanger that gets resolved in 6. If you only have a ps4 and only want to play one game make it Kiwami. It's true, that zero is a little better... But story- and character wise Kiwami is more significant to understanding 6 🙂
it's on PS Now i think
The Merchant I love 0, but it was painful going back to the old engine after starting the series with 6. I need that great presentation and fully voiced sub stories
The game seems neat but the fucking animations seem even worse than in kiwami
This game is diverting my focus from God of War😨😨
Subtitles ? ... Really ... I can't read while I'm also trying to see things !
GROW UP
8/10? THAT'S RAD!
I want this on switch ( if its not). I don't care about graphics in these beat em up games....
aditya ch Yakuza has always been exclusive on the playstation. Doesn't stop you from dreaming though.
Tselel Leb Yakuza 1 and 2 were on the Wii U in an HD collection, but it was a Japan exclusive.
AquaGamesRX OK.
Lol this would sell for shit on xbox one, keep this ps4 exclusive, it doesn't belong anywhere else after all these years.
I'm fine with games like Hokuto ga Gotoku going on pc as well though.
I'd still ultimately get it on playstation though.
AquaGamesRX What's a Wii U?? 😂
Yakuza does what Nintendon't.
Isn't this review a month too soon?
4:27 Yua Mikami ;)
Never played the Yakuza series.
Mr. Otaku200 Start with Yakuza 0. That game was released last year and is easily the best place to start.
StaticShock42 I see. Thanks.
I was all set ahen i saw ragdoll physics
Great Game love playing it!
