Game looks fantastic and love the premise.
I'm in the same boat. The Yakuza, Shenmue comparisons have turned me off from giving the Yakuzas a fair try, doesn't help that the games are confusing for a newcomers with constant prequels and sequels and remakes and spinoffs all pretty much releasing at the same time. All with varying engines to boot. All that said, this feels really interesting playing a game with a detective POV instead of a criminal. Kind of a breath of fresh air.I've never played the Yakuza series thanks to the 'Go play Yakuza instead of Shenmue!" brigade which just put me off. Though I did really enjoy Binary Domain. I'd be interested to check this out.
This has to happen!Fighting Vipers will be playable at Project Judge, it is time for a Model 2 Arcade Collection http://www.siliconera.com/2018/09/2...ps4-for-the-first-time-through-project-judge/
Don't make the same mistake I made. I played the first Yakuza way back on the PS2 because someone told me "It's just like Shenmue!"I'm in the same boat. The Yakuza, Shenmue comparisons have turned me off from giving the Yakuzas a fair try
Fair enough. I will play Project Judge and keep an open mind since it seems like a good game for a newcomer to jump in with the new advance engine they made.Don't make the same mistake I made. I played the first Yakuza way back on the PS2 because someone told me "It's just like Shenmue!"
Well, it wasn't anything like Shenmue, so I hated the game. It wasn't until over a decade later I'd give the series another chance and got the Shenmue comparisons out of my head that I really enjoyed it and it's become one of my favorite series... So basically I've been missing out this whole time due to that one bad experience that never should have happened...

I might never get into the Yakuza games but i might get into Project Judge. And i'm fine with that.
I have thought of it but i'm more interested in Judge tbh since it also seems to be standing on it's own and it's a breath of fresh air to have a game of this type and not play a criminal plus its got the more modern engine apparently. Seems more appealing to me.I really recommend at least playing Yakuza 0. It really is a great jumping point and if you're not into it, then you know it's not for you. There are definitely fan servicey things in it referencing the other games, but the game does a really good job of standing on it's own.
Probably, not sure though. I know 6 had a demo, another really awesome game lol. 0 and 6 are easily my favorites...I have thought of it but i'm more interested in Judge tbh since it also seems to be standing on it's own and it's a breath of fresh air to have a game of this type and not play a criminal plus its got the more modern engine apparently.

That said, I was wondering. does Yakuza 0 got a demo? would definitely be a painless experience trying a free demo to see if it clicks for me or not.
Good. Will try the Yakuza 6 demo then. Thanks.Probably, not sure though. I know 6 had a demo, another really awesome game lol. 0 and 6 are easily my favorites...
So I finished Yakuza Kiwami 2 last night. It goes without saying that it's a great game and a better remake than Kiwami 1, in that it didn't feel like an expansion pack to Y6, the way Kiwami 1 felt like an expansion to Y0.
That said, I kinda felt the story was not as amazing as fans had set it up to be. To be fair, I'm sure some elements in the story are aged, and if I played it in 2006, I'd probably like the story more. I think there were just too many twists towards the end that Japanese writers seemed to love back in that era. However, its still a pretty good tale, and I think the characters are great. Ryuji truly is one of, if not the best, antagonist of the entire franchise. Sayama as well is pretty great at the core, but she does suffer from the way Yakuza writers tend to write women. However she is the most capable female in the franchise, and it's a crime that she hasn't appeared since the beginning of Y3.[/B]
I think for story I rank it Y0 > Y6 > or = YK2 >> YK1.
