I don't really care much for Sega due to sonics fandom, but Sega genuinely put a lot of love into the yakuza series, it's well written, a tearjerker, it finds the ultimate balance between misery and hope. Loved it, Wish I could play the story again, but I'll probably need a break.

Also, the soundtrack. Oh my god it's perfect.
 
Sega is so much more than Sonic, lol. You're talking about the single most prolific video game company at a point in time, they've made hundreds of games. I don't even like Sonic (the Genesis games were good in their day though, just not a fan of platformers) and I'm a big Sega fan. Glad you enjoyed Yakuza 0, it's a solid series and the continuation of the arcade spirit of their past.
 
Oh hell yeah - absolute banger and the best game in a series with several absolutely fantastic games!

I'll add that, should you eventually decide to check out the rest of the series, I'd recommend going with the vanilla versions of 1 and 2 over the Kiwami ones!
 
Another user with Konata profile, epic lmao. Anyway, this one song just show how peak this game is

I beat the ps2 yakuza games and yakuza 4 on my ps3. I just had trouble playing yakuza 0 due to my controls not working on steam deck from a 3rd party but 2 days ago I bit the bullet and bought it

Yeah, I'm aware. It's just in the beginning I thought I wouldn't have fun playing yakuza

100% agree ?.
 
I pretty much got into the series at 0 back in 2016 and have played almost every game since. Funny, emotional, atmospheric. Middle aged men doing silly things seriously. I'm not a big fan of 4 and 5 but the others are all wonderful.

You like 3 and not 4? To each their own ig. I haven't played 5 or 6 but have played every other Yakuza. And 3 has by far been the worst for me, at least in terms of sheer gameplay. And 4 has the best story so far and was so refreshing coming from 3,

5 really shines when it comes to kyru, haruka, and akiyama. though Shinada's story feels weak so far compared to in 4.
 
Then let's get into more Sega stuff, come play PSO with me cmoncmon *drags him by the shirt*

Agreed on the gameplay side. The amount of blocking in 3 requiring repositioning makes a lot of the combat a chore.

4 and 5 are just far too bloated with the amount of characters I get burned out playing them, sometimes less is more. I feel 0 swapping between only two is a perfect balance and allows for a better flowing story with it personally but I get why people like them.

I liked harukas storyline, but I hated playing as Shinada.
 
SEGA is much more than Sonic, I'd argue Ryu ga Gotoku and Atlus studio under them has been cooking a lot more these past few years.
 
I just love these series, yakuza is really well made and make you feel like you are in japan.
 
Revisiting Kamurocho will never get old, I simply love it. There's something really beautiful regarding the way its made and how alive it feels. It's a very well designed main area and you can never get bored since there's plenty of stuff to do even when you're not focusing on the main story. The other areas are equally well designed but Kamurocho will always have a special place in my heart.
 
Yakuza 0 is an absolute treasure. The soundtrack is god-tier and Kiryu and MAJIMA at their finest. I love how zany this one is!
