Agreed bro. Just got into the series and idk why it took me so long. Also, the yakuza series on Amazon prime made me get into the story. Started playing Like a dragon gaiden, and the combat and story is just amazing. Downloaded Yakuza O and this one. Finna go through the series
Yakuza 0's story was just as good as the Last of Us in terms of quality and presentation. For anyone who hasn't played 0... get it NOW, I skipped all the side missions cuz it was kinda burning me out, but the main story is almost perfect
"This game has stiff, outdated and unrewarding combat" and yet almost every small snatch of combat you show here has the player almost entirely flailing at enemies clumsily with weapons and transparently mashing Square with Beast style, probably the most weakened style compared to it's incarnation in Yakuza 0. There's a lot of problems with the combat, don't get me wrong. You practically are forced to use Tiger Drop and Rush style counters and dodges, but how are we supposed to trust your review if you're apparently not willing to learn any advanced mechanics?
I´m a Sony fan, but I really dislike these Xbox hate comments. While I believe the last few years haven´t been so good in gaming, and that the ps4 has almost single-handedly made this one of the greatest gaming years in recent memory (Persona 5 and Yakuza 0 are one my fav games of all time, and Horizon and Nioh are incredible), let´s stop hating on XBox fans. Do you really feel so insecure to come on every PS4 exclusive video and make fun of Xbox´s lack of games? Why not just play those games, would you feel good if Xbox One had a lot of exclusives and Ps4 had none, and Xbox fans would keep making fun of you?
90% are metagaming the discussion and are just defending the console they have ironically to mess with people and 10% take it seriously. Either way, there is no reason to own an xbox one.
SkyRip i agree that theres no point to make fun of Xbox or it's lack of games. But xbox fanboys do sometimes dig there own grave with all there trash talk
Yakuza 0 took me by surprise, bought and had a blast although it took a damn long time, but no regrets that ending got all sensitive and what not, Goro majima is the GOAT. Will be buying this game along with 6. Bring on 2, 3, 4 and 5 to the ps4 Sega.
I am complete newcomer for this series and what I can tell you.. This game DESERVES much more attention then it got,it's amazing,hilarious and addictive. I want more of it,already bought zero and preordered the 6th,there is kiwami 2 in Japan they should localize (only text from jp to en) and release it here.Everyone who has doubts,just try it and I hope you gonna like it as much as I did.
PS4: Games games games games games games games games games Xbox: Power The power difference between the pro and the xbox one x isn't as large as microsoft will have you believe
Opinions aside, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are virtually identical. The technology has very few differences between the two. None of which is significant enough for one to get an Edge on the other. The only reason to buy one over the other is for the exclusives.
Yakuza games are the only games you should pre order. Anyway I have amazon prime so I save from pre ordering games which I usually do if I know for a fact a game is good like Yakuza games or ported games. But yeah Yakuza Kiwami came out in japan in 2016 so it's not really a pre order :P
Damn this game looks fun .....sadly its not on pc.....this game will be in my wishlist with the last of us 1 and 2 on it when i want to buy a ps4 .. :)
Sim Gamer add to that list bloodborne, nioh, persona 5 and you have a solid list of PS4 exclusives to try. Also don't forget yakuza 0 & 5, since this game is a series.
honestly been a go to year for ps4 and pc. Both have had a ton of extra games added to their rosters. Users of both those platforms are both likely to have one hell of a time. With the exception of the xbox its been one hell of a time for fans on both sides. Hopefully there can be more mutual respect between the platforms at some point. If the games are fun I cant give two shits about what platform its on. I use a dualshock 4 on my pc regardless lol
imagine being gaming journalists and not able to have people that can understand combat in yakuza games, you can do the sickest shit in this series while switching styles mid fight/combo.. i bet they don't know how Majima system works, not even a mention of Komaki and coliseum..it's disgusting rly.
Ps4 2017 exclusives so far = Gravity rush 2 - Berserk - Kingdom heart collection - Nioh - yakuza 0 - Nier automata - Horizon zero dawn - Persona 5 - MLB17 - Crash - Final Fantasy Xll - hellblade - Matterfall - lawbreakers - uncharted TLL - yakuza kiwami ... etc . Xbox 2017 exclusives so far = halo wars 2 - super luckys tales . 2018 will be the same people , its obvious , Sony >>>> Microsoft , and the abused poor Xbox owners and fans need to jump ship especially after microsoft failed to announce any new AAA ips for the past 3 years ,
i played the ps2 original version and its the best game i have ever played in years ! of course it has a lot of flaws but i good game is a good game and the story is so good i felt like i was watching a TV Show Drama
why every games have to have Batman's combat system? I find that one less interesting than Yakuza's, all you do is smash buttons and sometime counter or react to enemies attacks which are extremely obvious. If jumping around looks good to you then fine.
Outdated fighting system? Nah,Fighting style system is best thing they ever done. Plus,They gave you chance to do some flashy combo. Learn how game work,And make review with heart. Not do it for money,Please.
Well,I'm glad they made him more human in Kiwami 2. But if you want to see Kiryu's normal face,I suggest you played 3. Yakuza 3's Kiryu is the most human one.
It's been 12 years already? Yakuza has come a long way. Man I love Yakuza series but Sega don't have to make an exact remake in Yakuza Kiwami. The storytelling is so stiff which really ruin my mood, especially after I just finished Yakuza 0.
You playing on easy or something? Battles are underwhelming? Play on hard and bosses are pretty hype and the things that kiryu does, bamf as well Heck the final boss in particular (not even amon), is crazy difficult.
go watch some of the yakuza 0 reviews, if its not arkham style, its bad. even if he didnt say it out loud this time, but when he mentions things like, "combat still isnt..." you can clearly see that no matter how complex it is, its not arkham so its bad for some reason.
this game is free right now PSN store Nov. 2018. if you played the original on the PS2 do your self a favor and don't play this one they took some buildings away in the city and added a little more story the most glitchy yakuza game.. sometimes it feels like Kiryu has baby arms (cant hit anything) and the ending omg your fighting 20 guys with guns and every time you get hit with a bullet it takes 30 seconds for Kiryu to stand up and with 20 guys all shooting at the same time ugh !!!
I'm so sick of every reviewer on RUclips using big words that I don't know the meaning of (and nobody in my family would either). When I pay close attention to the words being spoken, I hear SO many words that nobody in my family ever uses. Like, who the heck uses words like "Catharsis"? Not normal people, I know that.
Its a shit gameplay cant understand how comments defend it but i still play it anyway as i am interested in the experience. But the game play is a joke
No,Play Kiwami 1 first. Kiwami 1 have best combat. Also,You won't be confused when play Kiwami 2. Cause Kiwami 2 really have many reference to event in Kiwami 1.
Who else is excited to revisit the original Yakuza game?
Hell yeah, finally we have the original with Japanese audio.
Oh I loved this series from th he first game. And I'm waiting for the reboot sequel and the final chapter (Yakuza 6)
Im buying this game
Ng June Lam can you show me what game should I start with? I'm a new beginner
me on pc ! (when it comes to pc)
This game is a big part of the culture of gaming. Buy it people.
Gonzo Chimus No. Crap is an outdated, repetitive, nonsense game. I might as well be playing Dead Rising or Dynasty Warriors.
Culture of weeb gaming.
+Chadster Ballsacks culture of good story telling
Kako Mohammed games are about gameplay not story
Itachi Uchiha Wrong, gameplay AND story.
MOST UNDERRATED GAME SERIES EVER
Agreed bro. Just got into the series and idk why it took me so long. Also, the yakuza series on Amazon prime made me get into the story. Started playing Like a dragon gaiden, and the combat and story is just amazing. Downloaded Yakuza O and this one. Finna go through the series
Currently addicted to yakuza 0
No username Username on my list of games to get
What game should I start in the series I'm a newbie for this
Bit late but Yakuza 0 then kiwami, then wait for kiwami 2, 3, 4, 5 and then play yakuza 6 the song of life.
@@gtrrohit5078 bit late but thanks
@@sksahil4829 np
gald to see yakuza is finally getting the attention it deserves in the west.
After 10 years, but still no Kenzan or Ishin
SoulOfTheRisingSun unfortunately Dead Souls killed off our chance for other spinoffs
Im honestly very happy that the series seems to grow in the west, amazing games
Wambologie7 hopefully they remake some of the other games like what they did with Kiwami.
Judge Tom when?
outdated boring fight system?
okay. lmao. shut up gamespot
stargateheaven23 combat looks dull
WELL YEAH, the guy in the video is using the same move over and over. lol
Those are the comments of someone who started out with a barebones character. I would love to see their reaction to a near or fully upgraded Kiryu
SoulOfTheRisingSun um I haven't played the game and I never will because it looks shit
you are shit. lol
never get bored of yakuza's fighting system
Oh look its another episode of lets criticize the battle system just because it's not arkham.
@@raskalnikovvv it was sarcasm
@@raskalnikovvvRead the commeny again, pretty sure it was sarcasm
A game where you will understand the meaning of having fun, thats the yakuza series for u.
Why is it that the reviews ALWAYS say "combat seems a bit outdated." For the Yakuza series. I'd say The witcher 3 combat was by far the worse.
Rico Martinez Witcher 3 combat was fine nothing wrong with it at all. Bloodborne awful combat.
@@paul1561 the witcher 3s combat is by far the worse I've ever seen in an open world game of it's kind. Combat is what made me stop playing it.
@@paul1561 lmao git good
hey everyone
go buy this game
also buy 0 if you haven't already
I bought it. I regret it. I'll probably trade it in. I did as you said, though, King Felipe.
I just couldn't get into the Yakuza series despite trying. I understand why people like it, and I'm glad they do.
@@aretlev fair enough
This game gave us a bikini clad women cosplaying as bugs fighting game. Eternally grateful.
Yakuza 0's story was just as good as the Last of Us in terms of quality and presentation. For anyone who hasn't played 0... get it NOW, I skipped all the side missions cuz it was kinda burning me out, but the main story is almost perfect

Funny how he criticised the gameplay as old fashioned and clunky because modern beat em up games are nothing be quick time trash.
Outdatted fighting system?
This clown sounds like he was expecting Batman Arkham fights.

well still better than those sony fans who go to Xbox video and make fun of it there, since it usually has no connection to that given video
SkyRip they usually troll Xbox channels that talk shit bout ps4 and it's games, ie Crapgamer
90% are metagaming the discussion and are just defending the console they have ironically to mess with people and 10% take it seriously.
Either way, there is no reason to own an xbox one.

Also another great PS4 exclusive to the already great PS4 exclusive library. Great game.

I LOVE YAKUZA SERIES
Already Pre Ordered The Steelbook in Play-Asia I’m Hype! HAHAHA
jclausell Nope.
jclausell its only 30 dolars
Yakuza games are the only games you should pre order.
Anyway I have amazon prime so I save from pre ordering games which I usually do if I know for a fact a game is good like Yakuza games or ported games.
But yeah Yakuza Kiwami came out in japan in 2016 so it's not really a pre order :P
Joseph John Juachon preordered this since I've played the Japanese version and loved it. 30 dollars is just a bonus.
i've seen and heard of this series before but...still....the graphics and areas you visit are beautiful....
nice review
No i didn't buy it. i have plenty to keep me busy.
i have not even heard of this series before this game. so i have no experience playing myself.
i might check it out one day if i have time.
Well it's 30 dollars...Pretty nice for that price
Yakuza 2 is my favorite. I cant wait to play it in HD.
Damn this game looks fun .....sadly its not on pc.....this game will be in my wishlist with the last of us 1 and 2 on it when i want to buy a ps4 .. :)
Sim Gamer 2018 seems like the go to year for a ps4.

Can't forget Minecraft 4K!
And ofcourse you can never forget 9/11 in 4K 60FPS. How can Sony ever compete?
Nier Automata, and Lawbreakers are on PC
I can't wait for this. Playing through 6 right now as well. And just bought 3. Love this series
i just want to play wrestling girls in scalantious clothing mini game
Buy Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3.
then get a rumble roses game

Missed Yakuza for ps2 and was waiting for 0 to go on sale so this is a perfect intro into the series. Great exclusive for only $30
Get gamepass
Been playing since ps2 and will gladly revisit this masterpiece again
Imagine thinking Arkham has a better combat system than this lul
Mahjong, straight and forward? Yeah right
Now we just have to wait for Nagoshi to remake Yakuza 2, which in my opinion, has best storyline in the series.
I loved Yakuza Zero, I'm gonna pick this up when it goes on sale
Hypocrite America supports ISIS! It's only 30 dollars at launch.
not gonna lie, bikini beetles sold me
This is the best combat the series has seen
What are you even on
About?
The way he was talking about it didn't seem like it was an 8 at all lol

The main guy in this series always looks pissed off, even when he's not mad.
Well,I'm glad they made him more human in Kiwami 2.
But if you want to see Kiryu's normal face,I suggest you played 3. Yakuza 3's Kiryu is the most human one.
I really need to get into the series
BenRiley83 get yakuza 0, do the main story n skip all the side missions n stuff. The story is crazy good
It's been 12 years already? Yakuza has come a long way.
Man I love Yakuza series but Sega don't have to make an exact remake in Yakuza Kiwami. The storytelling is so stiff which really ruin my mood, especially after I just finished Yakuza 0.
again with this "combat is bad because its not arkham style" crap?
This is a great game I hope many people play it. This game was so awesome when I played it back in the PS2.
You playing on easy or something? Battles are underwhelming?
Play on hard and bosses are pretty hype and the things that kiryu does, bamf as well
Heck the final boss in particular (not even amon), is crazy difficult.
Personally I didn't care for the other Yakuza games, but I understand why people like it.
Ripa moramee What's your opinion on this one, I've played either 5 or 4 and I know I didn't take to it.
I thoufht the combat looked cool. I like beat em ups.
go watch some of the yakuza 0 reviews, if its not arkham style, its bad. even if he didnt say it out loud this time, but when he mentions things like, "combat still isnt..." you can clearly see that no matter how complex it is, its not arkham so its bad for some reason.
This franchise is one of the few I wish was on PC
Who's here after the reveal of PS plus November lineup?
Me
who know the song they used in the end of this review ?
It's "For Who's Sake", the final boss theme.
thank you so much XD
I never get tried of beating up people in yakuza
A much better review than IGN's
My first introduction to the franchise is yakuza 0, so I'm just wondering if goro majima has always been goofy and crazy.
Dunno why people love this game. I find there are too many damn cut scenes. A lot of stupid missions. It gets super repetitive too. Not that great.
because its awesome
If you don’t like action don’t play it
This game would sound horrible if they had English actors.
I loved 0, I'm very excited about this one. I just wish there were a way to get 2 in my country, guess I'll have to skip it and go for 3.
I watch ye Sleep just wait, there's rumours that Sega may remake the 2 and 3 for ps4
I haven't finished 0, I wonder what happens to goro to make him a villian :/
this game is free right now PSN store Nov. 2018.
if you played the original on the PS2 do your self a favor and don't play this one
they took some buildings away in the city and added a little more story
the most glitchy yakuza game.. sometimes it feels like Kiryu has baby arms (cant hit anything)
and the ending omg your fighting 20 guys with guns and every time you get hit with a bullet it takes 30 seconds for Kiryu to stand up and with 20 guys all shooting at the same time ugh !!!
Add to the list baby!!!!!
I wonder If they are going to port/remaster other Yakuza games to PS4
Sky1ceb3rg yeah they just announced yakuza 6 is coming to the states next spring
Am I the only one who thinks
Goro would shit on kiyru after everything happening in yakuza 0
Yes you are only one lol.
I will not spoiled,But the game will prove you wrong more games you played.

Will be getting this game very soon. I think the first game has the best story but the worst gameplay. Thos remake looks like it fixes that.
Should i buy kiwami or zero first
FT9 Zero is the prequel of kiwami, so go for Yakuza 0
Zero first.
So,Final fight in Kiwami will felt more impact.
Should i buy this or the zero one first?
Zero and then Kiwami.
Why do they always get the guy who dislikes the combat to review these games
is now free on psn
Jup i know and its nice
How long is the average gameplay?
Does it make you feel like spida-man
Day one in Aus purchase.
Can I skip kiwami and go onto kiwami 2
No,Play Kiwami 1 first. Kiwami 1 have best combat.
Also,You won't be confused when play Kiwami 2. Cause Kiwami 2 really have many reference to event in Kiwami 1.
I just got my self yakuza 0!!!
Should I play this first or zero?
Diego Michel Zero

No thank you. Don't want another old game being released again. Don't like them on any platform.
no idea what you even mean lmao
