    Just bought it this afternoon, so not been able to put much time into it yet.. Not yet sure if I really like it. Not too bad this far though. The Japanese 80's setting is cool. The random fights I like.
    Combat I have to get used to as I suck at hand to hand combat games, but survived chapter 1.

    Lot's of mini games. Karaoke pushing button combinations was way too fast for me (hate that kind of gameplay) and just did a few rounds of darts which didn't go too well either. Going for a game of pool next.

    Anyone else plays this?

    So far I'm the king of the bowling alley. Only mini game I'm decent at. Liking this game more and more though.
    Crazy amount of fights and in between so far been doing mah jong, some other Japanese game, pool, darts, bowling, video gaming, baseball batting, karaoke and disco dancing. :giggle1: It's fun.

    Graphics arent the best, but it might have been done on purpose to create a late 80's vibe.

    Like some reviewer said.

    But hey you're on Xbox anyway. :giggle1:

    Wow! Just wow!

    At chapter 6 or 7 now and this has turned out to be quite the ride.
    Fantastic storytelling, great, funny and some amount of crazy characters and there's so much * to do outside the main story. Tons of mini-games, businesses to run and side quests. It's all very Japanese and can be high on the cringe factor even a bit sexist at times, but haven't had this much fun with a game since San Andreas.

    Have to take your time with the cut scenes and crazy length of dialogues at times (I even skipped some of it when I had too many beers and couldn't concentrate too much on the reading of it all as it's spoken in Japanese)

    Ain't even close to have played half the game and doubt I even going to see it all, but this far I have to give this game between a 8.5 and a 9. (Haven't even thought about picking up Horizon again.)

    Anytime I see this bumped I immediately feel sorry for you Vinnie cos you seem to be the only * that is playing this. :56:

    If I was on PS4 I'd genuinely give it a go.

    Well, let's not start a new thread (Instead changed the thread title), but just got Yakuza 6 in. :party048:

    Can already tell, this going to be a great storyline once again. Can't wait for the silly mini games though.

    I’m waiting for yakuza kiwami 2 to come out in August then I’ll buy yakuza 6 afterwards. I had the exact same reaction as you vinnie when playing yakuza 0, at first I wasn’t feeling it at all but by the end I was hooked and gutted it was over. One of the best stories in any game and the soundtrack was epic especially for boss fights.

    Opinion on Yakuza 6 till now. (Just in chapter 5 I think it was)

    Some Yakuza fans say they think it's one of the lesser Yakuza games, but I think it's an absolute quality game again. One of the few games where I really feel for the characters. Not many game (series) with such an amazing storyline either.
    Fantastic silly mini games again with some, which left me in tears of laughter. (Only one I hated was the one where you have to shake the controller in certain ways to stop a baby from crying.)
    Was surprised it's played in two towns again (Kamurocho and Hiroshima town of Onomichi)
    The stragegy mini game takes a little to get used to though, but it's a nice change of pace till now.

    Bought Yakuza Kiwami not long ago, good game but it gets repetitive after a while, right enough I've stuck around 40 hours into it :giggle1:

    Yeah Yakuza I tried years ago and was a bit meh about it.
    But picked up Kiwami earlier this year and enjoyed it, though not completed.
    Picked up zero in the latest sale and look forward to kiwami2 as well.
    Doing research, I think they are planning on making a Kiwami version of all the games that aren't currently on PS4, thus making it the first time the whole series will be playable on one system.

    Can't wait.

    Between this and the likes of kingdom hearts, final fantasy etc I'm really stepping up my Japanese gaming. Need to look in to more games.

    Only played Yakuza 0, Kiwami and 6. Out of those three I´d pick Yakuza 0. Two main characters, two cities and an absolute amazing story. Have to warn you though. Conversations can last up to 15 minutes at times. Wouldn´t skip these if you go for the story as well.

    Yakuza 0 is one of the earlier ones isn't it? Think that's the first one being released on pc next month.

    Yakuza 0 is a prequel to the first yakuza but it only came out in the last couple of years, yakuza kiwami is basically the first yakuza remastered and that only came out recently as well. Looks like they are remastering 1 through 5, next one is out on the end of August.

    It's something different not connected at all. I'd love a GTA set in Japan though that be great.
