Judgement is getting remastered already when it was only released like a couple of years ago? That's quick. o-o
I can't judge themIt feels like they’re trying to make the rerelease look more “natural” but it just makes it more boring visually.
O O FI can't judge them
Welcome to the "We Love Yakuza 3" club! We're few in number, but god damn do we exist :)Well, I finally beat Yakuza 4. A very good game in its own right, but it doesn't hold a candle to 3 imo. The combat was still great, but I actually didn't like it as much as 3 (crazy, I know). Playing as the 3 new guys was fun enough, but none of them were as fun as playing as Kiryu in 3 (or 4 for that matter). The story was complicated and had plenty of twists, which normally I like in a game, but I just didn't care for it here for whatever reason. Conversly, Yakuza 3 had a, relatively speaking, very simple and personal story. Which I normally don't like, and yet I loved it. The actual story telling to deliver it was imo much better in 4 than in 3, yet I just liked the actual story and characters in 3 a whole lot more. And there's just no beating that Okinawa setting for me. All those little moments with the kids in the orphanage, with the dog, on the beach, the humor... It was all just so masterful in 3. And again, to reiterate just how crazy and wrong I am, I really LOVED the way the combat felt in 3 and the way the enemies were all balanced. I loved the elaborate encounters and I loved the bosses. I just liked it more than in 4.
idk. Like I said to start, 4 is a very good game isolated on its own, but 3 is just an absolute wonder. If I'm being honest, I probably won't play 4 again, but I know for a fact I'll be coming back to 3. If you put a gun to my head and made me rank the ones I played right now, it'd be
0 = 3 > K1 > K2 = 4
Which is fairly close to Sput's rankings, although he hasn't played 4 yet. 0 was just a good all around package, excellent at everything. 3's only real weakness to me was the storytelling (probably the weakest story telling of the games I've played so far), but the story itself was great, characters/characterization were great, and the setting/execution was just untouchable. K1 had a fantastic story AND amazing storytelling, great characterization, and the combat was solid... But modern(ish) Kamurocho just doesn't excite me the way Okinawa or 80's Kamurocho does. The side quests and side activities also weren't as good as 3/0 overall imo, but that's exactly what you'd expect for the first entry in the series. Even with this remake, which I know added some stuff.
I feel like 4 had a better story than K2's PILE OF GARBAGE (imo...) story. It never really bothered me the way K2's did, but it didn't really excite me the way 0/K1/3's did either. I felt like K2 had mildly better storytelling though, for whatever good that's worth when it's telling a story I hate. Weirdly enough, I felt like 4 had better combat, yet K2 had far better encounters to actually utilize the combat in. K2 had better side stuff. Aside from that, it's all a wash. Pretty comparable as a total experience imo. Very good games, but my least favorites of the Yakuzas I've played thus far.
Now onward to 5!
EDIT: Also just wanna add 3 and 4 had some really good tracks. I think that was the part of 4 that pleasantly surprised me the most. I hope 5 continues this trend. Probably my favorite track from each:

FAKE NEWS. Hidden, reported, and called the police.Right, just started the fifth chapter in Yakuza 3 Remastered and the game is really beginning to pick up now. All that orphanage shit can fuck right off.
"Aww, but it was so nice seeing Kiryu interacting with the children and being a good father figure in their lives. It really shows a different side to his character. They even call him Uncle Kaz! So kawaii desu ne!"
PUT IT IN A COUPLE OF FUCKING CUTSCENES INSTEAD OF FORCING ME TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE ORPHANAGE AND RYUKYU DOZENS OF TIMES FOR NEGLIGIBLE REASONS FOR THOSE UNGRATEFUL LITTLE TWITS, THEN! Christ. I hope a tsunami washes the bloody place away. Keep the dog safe, though.
Kamurocho is where it's at.

It's good; you still get multiple fight styles, but from a practicality standpoint, literally only 2 are useful per player.I haven't played Yakuza since I platted 5 on my ps3.
I might get Y0. How is the gameplay in the prequel?

Did you just assume my morality alignment? That's, like, really offensive. It's 2021!It's good; you still get multiple fight styles, but from a practicality standpoint, literally only 2 are useful per player.
The story is good, but highly-overrated because there's a love story there and people go nuts for that.
The extras are phenomenal and arguably the best in the series, plus the, "Another Life," from 5 is expanded upon and done very well.
Lots of JAV actresses as well, which makes it fun.
Don't buy into people saying that, "it's the best one," because it isn't. Top 5? Absolutely, but not the best.
You're evil
