I am saddened by the fact that Yakuza: Dead Souls did not get the remaster treatment. I know it's a spin-off, but I really enjoyed the fame when it originally came out...
NO FUCKING WAY I COMPLETED SAEJIMA SIDESTORY WITHOUT KNOWING THAT YOU CAN AIM AT FIRST PERSON, I FACED HELL TRIYNG TO KILL BEARS IN THIRD PERSON HOLY HELL.
I swear to god I thought that was rdr2 at the start and got confused af, like why are the graphics so low res? I never thought I'd see a hunting minigame in yakuza, thats lit. Im still playing kiwami 1 tho, hopefully I get to 5 soon
phenomenal remaster reviews (all 3). As someone else stated, the Yakuza series is now quite popular, yet no one's reviewing the remaster collection. Thank you. BTW, where would you rate the Yakuza remakes (1&2)? Are they "must plays"? Or do the other titles in the series outmatch them? Also, have you played Judgement?
I appreciate the kind words about my videos. Thank you for watching them! They are, by far, the most popular videos on my channel. As for your question about the Yakuza remakes, that is a tough one to answer. My first Yakuza game was Kiwami so that one will always hold a special place in my heart. I liked Kiwami 2's side content but I did not love its story (most fans love its story though). To keep it simple, I would have to say that the other titles do outmatch them. Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 5 are my two favorite games in the series. Give them a try if you choose to play any game in the series if you want my honest opinion. Though it is Yakuza we're talking about so they're all worth a try in my book! I only played Judgment for an hour or two. I really need to finish it though. It seems like Yakuza but with different characters.
Tsukimino is the part I'm on now and it's annoying literally thugs or enemies everywhere. On top of that the main story mission so far has you running around to find places.
@@thepretendgamer5019 you were right I continued with saijema part and did alot of side missions. The activities were fun as well especially the snowball fight one.
This review is pretty good however I want to add some more problem i have with the game... Yakuza 5 is definitely my favourite in the series but it's not perfect. Imo I wish they make some part of the game snappier like by remove the sewer so we can enter purgatory easier and the shining item on the ground... Also more phone booth, taxi and a sprint button would be dope
Nothing against the remasters but they could’ve did better with 3-4-5 to standout as a great game. When I played the remaster it felt like the old gen. No disrespect but I think I’ll stick with 0-1-2 because 2 pretty much has a good ending to the series to me.
I think we all would have been ok with these games being remade but, having said that, they all stand up fairly well in their own right. As you can see from my reviews, I really enjoyed my time with all of them.
If memory serves, each character gets four or five (I don't really remember) chapters except for Haruka and Akiyama. They share a set of chapters between them so they both don't get a full section to themselves if you get what I'm saying.

“A certain fan favourite character”
Probably Mr Libido
Haha, I kind of wish that was the case...
As I've said before you are so deserving of more subs. You've just Yakuza 6 left to review!
Thank you for the kind words. And yep, Yakuza 6 is the only one left...until Like a Dragon comes out later this year.
I began to watch your videos of yakuza today, and I am so happy to see yakuza 5 review today, keep up the good work man
Thank you! I'm glad you're liking both my videos and the games!
finally someone that spreads more 4min on a review great video :)
Glad you liked it!
I loved playing this game when I first played it. I remember playing saejimas part during christmas. It was perfect
Yeah, I find it amusing that most of the games are set during Christmastime.
Lol true i'm playing it know, but saejima chapters were really, really boring
@@Faffabucco Fr It kinda is tho lol. Its just that the setting was like perfect when I played it over december 2020
@@dylanlaps4392 and now haruka... dear god, i'm basically playing just for akiyama
I’m definitely buying the collection after seeing this lol
Great! I hope you enjoy it like I did!
@@thepretendgamer5019 i have spent 50 hours on yakuza 5
I played 3 and 4 remastered, when I’ll be ready I’ll play 5 remastered, too
I hope you like it. It was my favorite of the three.
yakuza aged like a fine wine. it's one of my fav jrpgs
It is a great series!
It’s just an RPG, not JRPG. Games like Xenoblade, Persona, and Final Fantasy fall within the JRPG genre
@@gassygastronomer isn't a JRPG just a japanese rpg? That fits for yakuza, no?
@@garfellow5507 JRPGs rely on turn-based combat
@@gassygastronomer wait....what about xenoblade then? Idk if I'd consider it a turn based game. Seems more like auto attack while also choosing skills
I am saddened by the fact that Yakuza: Dead Souls did not get the remaster treatment. I know it's a spin-off, but I really enjoyed the fame when it originally came out...
Yeah, I really wish they would localize it for the West at the very least. Everyone seems to really love it.
@@thepretendgamer5019 it is localized
Right you are. I was confusing Dead Souls with Ishin and Kenzan. My apologies.
Dead Souls desperately needs to be ported to a more powerful console because the frame rate is atrocious on PS3.
good job on the reviews
other reviewers just state the obvious but you actauly go in depth
i like that
you definitely earned a sub from me
I appreciate it! I always try to be as in-depth as I can without giving everything away about the game while doing it.
*Sees Tiger tattoo on his back*
Ah yes, *Tai-ja* Saejima
He's a good character, all right.
5 is probably the only one out of the three remasters which actually still holds up.
It is my favorite of the three but I still had a great time with all of them.
How on earth do you not have more subs? Excellent review!
Haha probably because I don't have that many videos. Don't worry though, more are on the way!
Thanks for the review dude doing a great job
Thank you for watching!
great review! underrated channel.
Thank you!
Am i the only one that hoping Kiryu become tofu delivery guy in gunma instead of taxi driver in fukuoka ?
I would love to see him become a tofu delivery guy.
I love yakuza side stories, I spent the least amount of time on side stories on yakuza 5. I might go back to do more hunting and fishing
NO FUCKING WAY I COMPLETED SAEJIMA SIDESTORY WITHOUT KNOWING THAT YOU CAN AIM AT FIRST PERSON, I FACED HELL TRIYNG TO KILL BEARS IN THIRD PERSON HOLY HELL.
Great review as always
Thank you!
Is it just me or does bald saejima low-key looks like dave batista?
Haha yeah, he kind of does.
I swear to god I thought that was rdr2 at the start and got confused af, like why are the graphics so low res? I never thought I'd see a hunting minigame in yakuza, thats lit. Im still playing kiwami 1 tho, hopefully I get to 5 soon
Haha, I could see how you would be extremely confused by that. I hope you enjoy Kiwami!
Nice review, thanks
You're welcome!
to be honest the locker keys are the exact same in kiwami 2
I just wish you could simply walk over them and they were automatically picked up.
I cannot wait to play these games when they come to the Xbox and PC
Yep, I'm glad they're finally bringing Yakuza to more platforms. I hope a lot more people play them as they are pretty great.
After you play 6 and 7 you should import Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin from Japan, it’s excellent😉
I wish they would simply localize it cause it does look like a good time.
@@thepretendgamer5019 yeah I think it is the best one alongside 0

Yeah, there are a ridiculous amount of enemies in that town.

Yeah, the shiny items on the found definitely need an auto-pick up option. Especially after so many games in the series.
Are the side stories necessary to fight the Amons or can I ignore them entirely and focus on the substories?
The Amons only appear after you've finished all of the other substories so you're good!

Obviously they won't be changed much they're remasters not remakes like the Kiwami games
Afro Shinobi true, I just wish they would’ve gave these games the same treatment.

Yakuza 6 review when
how many chapters do each character get? I ordered the remaster collection and I am just curious

hey good review i subscribe
Thank you very much! Welcome to the channel.
i just bought this super classic series last nite which came to 130 i didnt buy 0 and the zombie one sense i beat them earlier this year
Enjoy! They're all great!
Ya. Ku. Za. … Yakoo Za??
The only i hate from this game is harukas part
Haha I can understand that.
This reminds me heavily of RE6 and sonic 06 but its yakuza and better
I haven't played those game but I'll take your word for it!
