Finally picked up this game for cheap after lots of recommendations.
Game is pretty fking legit. Lots of fun side games, very interesting story, city looks amazing if you're into 80's Japan, and the fighting is 9/10 fun.
but...
I seriously don't know if I can finish it. The cut scenes are never. fking. ending. and some are long AF. I want to keep playing because the rest of the game is awesome, but getting through the never ending cut scenes is fking brutal.

That end fight scene in Judgement, when Tak looks sidewards with the lightening flashing in the background . Fwark. Fights don’t get much more epic than that! Hnnng.
Judgement had better character relations/dynamics for me (Tak and Kaito were an amazing duo) than Yakuza...Though I do prefer the Yakuza series and character general.
I wonder how Y7 is going to perfrom without Kaz though? I will pre-order for sure but I will certainly admit to being a little apprehensive. LolGender Identity: Miscer pronouns: ****/****got

So I haven't played a recent one but people seem to generally agree that 0 is the place to start. It's the beginning and it's the best (again, as I hear it).
The yakuza games are story-driven action games with JRPG and light open-world elements.
You spend a lot of your time doing mundane tasks, beating up groups of bad guys, and just generally living put your life in Japan.
The Yakuza series is really great but it's not for everyone. The games can get sort of repetitive.
BTW, how hot are Czech girls ?

I think it's fine. They ended the Kiryu side of the franchise with 6 and now starting with 7 they are taking things in a new direction for the series going forward. If that new direction isn't some peoples thing then that's fine and nobody is forcing them to buy the game if they don't want to. Just view it as the Yakuza series ended with 6 and this is the start of a new primary series within the overall world and franchise because despite the 7 in the name that is pretty much what this is. They are maintaining the numbering because the devs themselves view it as a mainline Yakuza game and are giving it the focus and dedication that comes with that designation but it's still pretty much a soft reboot designed to branch off into it's own thing rather than directly continuing from the previous games.
Overall I think they've handled this well. They gave fans of the previous characters and style a game to finish things off on and with that done I'd say it's fair for them to be allowed to move on and take the series fresh start in whatever direction they want to take it.

Holy ****kk. The scene where Nishiki drives Kiryu out of Tokyo and into the woods...
WOW. That was seriously some of the best, if not THE best fuking ~5 minutes of video game history for me. The monologue from Nishiki and following conversation...the music. Got damn man. Chit had me in my feels big time...Last edited by R3L3NTL3SS; 08-04-2020 at 06:56 PM.

I'm at the part where you had the meeting with those 3 lieutenants about that empty lot and being set up. I have to go to the loan shark/credit leader, I think I'm still chapter 1. Thought looked cheesy from screenshots before of the scenery looking cartoonish, but it's pretty good, has that old vibe of that time. You go to a phone booth to save? no auto save?

I skipped all the cutscenes that didn't have action in them, which is most of them lol.
All of those character intros wore me out. Ex: Hideo Yagasaki, leader of Tojo Clan.....Kosuke Yoshinoya, patriarch of Dojima Clan, etc etcAmerica is the number one clown show
