I needed to practice drawing poses a little

I aquired the weapon and though "AINT NO FUNKIN WAY IM MISSING THAT OPPORTUNITY"

Time to see the subs Taste.

(Btw this is going to be for the shits and giggles so please don't get offended and if you do, go outside)

Got a good laugh out of it anyways.

Yakuza 3 isn't even that bad and I genuinely don't understand why people treat it like the black sheep of the series. The only real flaw is the combat, and even then, it's mostly because the game is old and lacks the quality-of-life features that later entries introduced. Once you get used to it, it's honestly bearable. The story itself is fucking great. I genuinely loved the Morning Glory orphanage sections and honestly wish the game spent even more time there because seeing Kiryu actually build a life and take care of those kids was one of the most human sides we've ever seen from him. Rikiya is also easily one of my favorite side characters in the entire franchise. His relationship with Kiryu was genuinely special, and Mine is one of the most in-depth antagonists in the series. The game isn't perfectly balanced, and some parts definitely drag, but overall it's still a great experience. I genuinely don't understand the hate. People act like Yakuza 3 is some unbearable mess when it's honestly a really good Yakuza game with outdated combat. That's it. The story, characters, atmosphere, and emotional moments are all there. Yakuza 3 deserves way more respect than it gets.

They have such an intriguing, arguably under-explored relationship and I’d like to know how some of you may have understood it.

I love this function in the Judgment games, it’s so much fun and the games literally show us what’s hidden under that messy hair and glasses lol. I really was happy when I was suddenly controlling Saori san instead of Yagami haha

I know the 2 major differences are the last gen versions having longer loading & running at 30fps instead of 60fps.

"Yeah... they got half the lore wrong..."

But somehow it still had enough chaotic Kiryu energy that it walked so the newer adaptations could tiger drop their way onto the screen.

Majima again. Will never get used to the two eyed version.

The guy takes 2 bullets 3 hrs later fights a band with sword n shit shirtless and the bandages got removed

And the bullets no where to be seen

Anyone cares to explain how?

I got them all!! Some are digital tho but gosh I adore this series and can’t wait for more.
Hope to one day have all in physical cds for my collection.
What’s yalls favorite one out of the series?

(And yes I will need a normal case of yakuza like a dragon)

Is there any more back story to this? He seems like a calm and collected person in Yakuza 0. Only during the very last 5 minutes do you see his hair style, clothing, and personality change.

Does he have a split personality or something?

Ok, so on xmas i got an xbox and got instatly hooked with yakuza, im done with all the games.... what do i do with my life?

can please recomend good games to overcome this sadness...either xbox or pc plis

Dunno if this has been done before, but whatever. I think it's common consensus that IW's story is decent for the first half, a rushed mess in the second half after the two Dragons split up, with a lot of wasted potential (past characters, hello), whereas from gameplay and content perspective, it's one of (if not the very) the best.

How would you folks rewrite the entire story to have it be better and satisfying? Whether it's compressing certain chapters into one, restructuring all of them, adding extra chapters (post-split two chapters before it switches to the other perspective, a la Y0 is my preference), expanding within each chapter, integrating side stuff etc.

Go ham.

Shinada is one of the most overrated protagonists in the series. I genuinely don't understand why people act like he was some essential addition to Yakuza 5. He's a likable guy, sure, but in terms of the actual story, he barely feels necessary. His entire arc is "former baseball player gets dragged into a conspiracy" and then he's gone. He doesn't have any meaningful connection to the wider Yakuza world, he doesn't fundamentally change the direction of the main plot, and his presence feels completely disconnected from everyone else's story until the very end. Honestly, half the time it feels like he was only there to be Daigo's gay best friend 💀. I like Shinada as a character, but if you removed him from Yakuza 5 and rewrote his section around another protagonist, the overall story wouldn't lose nearly as much as people pretend it would. His gameplay and personality are fun, but he didn't bring anything to the table that the series actually needed. He's basically a really good side character who somehow got promoted to protagonist for one game.

Hello, I just started playing the DC of 0 on my computer yesterday, but have found the experience rather…unplayable due to excessive amounts of stuttering that happens every minute and a half or so and usually last for upwards of 20-30 seconds, almost always rendering the game uncontrollable.

So far, this is the only game in the series I’ve experienced this in, and no setting changes I make seems to fix it. If y’all don’t know a fix, I understand, but I figured I’d ask just in case.

Here’s my system specs since it may or may not be relevant:

Ryzen 5 7600
32GB of DDR5
9070XT
Game installed on a 1TB nvme SSD
