It's definitely more refined, but all Yakuza games more or less play similarly, so go ahead and join the party!
Haha, thanks. I'm just speaking from the heart because I feel like I know Kamurocho intimately. I can hum the Don Quixote theme perfectly.
Hats off to Lord Nagoshi and co. for this wonderful world.
I just hopped in this thread. Did you seriously just post this?

Btw. is the Yakuza still a thing in Japan?

Does his best thinking in the flying car
I'll be away for a little while, if anyone else wanted me to add the Yakuza tag for them, PM me and I'll do it when I come back.
Alternatively here is the tag for anyone who has the skills to do it him/herself
Right on, preordered, suited up and ready

Never played a Yakuza game, so I have no context. For all I know there are 25 minute cutscenes followed by 45 seconds of actual gameplay, hence the question.
Oh that's not bad regarding the 5 minutes at a time thing. Sorry, re-reading your post, I'm not sure what gave me the impression that it was actually your review.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
He's not wrong you know .. the author of the review is a fan of the shooter genre as per the blurb below the review. Why would you assign a fan of shooters to review what is essentially a JRPG ?

Yes. Dosent change the fact Japan is still ranked in top 10 for safest contry in the word. Probably Yakuza have a hand in that as they follow strict rulles of conduct and are not just street punks causing chaos.
Peer pressure is best for all reviews, trust me.
Who needs individuality or views of people from different taste and backgrounds.

I was more weirded out that he started gaming in 2006. I feel old, now.

Naaah Sega is making Yakuza games only for us. The Western people.
70 hours played, 60fps 99% of the time. There were some battles where it dropped slightly but it was hard to notice.
To be fair I'm pretty sure they just up-res'd existing assets from Yakuza 5 (which I was completely OK with, game looks good).
Yes and some of them are fans of the series,
no joke.
Think he means the organized crime variety
It's very popular there.
It's basically a JPRG. Tons to do so you won't need to worry about lack of gameplay. The cutscenes in the series are usually nice and meaty but they're good drama mixed in with humor.

I think he just didn't enjoy the gameplay. I think most people would enjoy the gameplay.
Was about to link that, dammit ;-)
If you like Majima, it'll be worth it. I think you unlock it by completing the sphere grid.
Kiryu also has one and is unlocked the same way.
oh no, not the blurb!

Poor Nick (EGM). lol I actually enjoyed the on-camera work he used to do with the old Gametrailers crew (now Easy Allies). Had good chemistry with Huber.
It just sounds like the gameplay/combat aspects of the game just didn't vibe with him. Shouldn't throw him under the bus just because he started playing games in 2006. I think my main thing with his review is that his dislikes of the game didn't come across in the writing.

What does this sarcasm accomplish ? The author states his preferences clearly, this game is the opposite of the genre he enjoys. Give me the best RTS ever and I'll give it a bad score because it's not my preferred genre.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Please Game Collection, take my money so that its dispatched 20th January and comes on the Saturday.

It's unlocked by
completing their respective real estate / cabaret minigames
Oh my bad. Though doesn't that also unlock the locked off section of the sphere grid?

YAAAAAAASSSSS!!!
I never doubt it would be bad but I'm glad it's good. I can't wait. Now thinking about it, I want to play the first games again.

Wow. Much, much better scores than I expected. Will likely end up best scoring Yakuza game.
With this and gravity Rush 2, ps4 is off to a stunning start to 2017.

With Kiryu as an example, taking over a section of Kamurocho opens up existing pieces of each skill tree. Taking over all of them unlocks
the fourth fighting style
That style also has blocks on the outer edges it,

Solid start for the PS4 this year with both Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush 2 reviewing well.

Alright after reading the OP and this thread, I'm in day one. Never played a Yakuza game before so this will be my first foray into the series. No expectations outside of the positive impressions so I'm looking forward to this and GR2. Have to finish up GR1 in time for the sequel and then straight to this.

All the moves can be unlocked on any difficulty. Just keep playing the game and doing Kiryu's real estate missions and it should unlock (I forget the exact requirements, but you don't have access to the outer spheres immediately. I unlocked everything on hard difficulty just by playing the game and doing the side content).
With regards to the performance of the game (it was asked earlier in the thread). Basically the game runs at 60FPS 99.9% of the time. There are a couple of areas in the game (such as Theatre Square in Kamuracho) where you get screen tearing briefly, and the frame rate will drop for a second but that's it. The only odd performance issue I had with the game is a boss late in the game, where the game ran at an unlocked frame rate and was quite inconsistent (never sticking at 60FPS) though I've not read anyone else having problems with that battle, be interesting to see if it happens again in the English version.

oh hey, more sarcasm. Got any other tricks ?
This is quite well written. I just wanted to make sure you knew that GameTrailers was resurrected as Easy Allies. I saw the RIP GT at the end of your bio and got concerned you were living without The Nine when you didn't have to.
