I just picked up Kiwami 1 and 2 on the Steam sale, as I finally got into Yakuza 0.
I tried playing the first two Yakuza games on the PS2 back in the day, and I'm pretty sure I played Yakuza 3 at some point too. I could never get into them for some reason, think it was because I thought it was GTA-like and was disappointed in the limited environments. I got Yakuza 0 for the PS4 on my bday last year. I liked it, but the load times and frame rates were obnoxious.
I bought Yakuza 0 on the Steam Xmas sale this year, and finally started it this week. I ruined my sleep cycle on it lol, about 50 hours in already, what a blast. The story/characters are so damn good, and the bizarre side stories, and crazy amount of mini game are bananas.
Kiryu is such a badass, and I love the various mob bosses, especially Kuze, he's nuts.
Magima is fun to play as too, especially his Eddy Gordo capoeira style. My fav mini game/business thing is his Cabaret club. I've spent stupid hours getting the best girls in town, dressing them up. It's ridiculous, but it def tickles my yellow fever. Now that I finally understand the dancing element, I'm really enjoying that activity too.
I love the Mr Shakedown aspect too, they terrified me at first, now I hunt them
The Godfather meets Anime, such a perfect combo I didn't know I needed. I can't wait to finish this so i can start Kiwami 1. I know it's the remake of Yakuza 1, so I'm pumped to get to play the story for the first time, and a modernized version.
Damn, I was hoping they'd get the Kiwami/0 treatment. Anyone pick the remaster up? Was it hard to go from Kiwami 2 to Yakuza 3? I'll surely pick it up when they release on PC, just to continue the story. I'm glad to hear they put some cut content back in, especially the hostess thing.
