I am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.

You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.

Thanks

    Can I just say a bunch of Yakuza games?

    I fell in love with them during the pandemic and they each have something great.

      Which five yakuza are your favourite? So far I’ve only played zero, 1 and 2 (and a tiny bit of 5 on the PS3 through PS+ before i realised i liked it but would want to start from the beginning)

        So I started with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, but gave up on it way too early due to the crazy long cut scenes. A few months to a year later, I picked up Infinite Wealth and was blown away by the writing, character arcs, gameplay, etc.

        It was just so wacky and fun. Shortly after infinite wealth, I went back to Yakuza: Like A Dragon and now that I was more familiar with the gameplay/story telling I was able to get way more out of it.

        I went back to the beginning with Yakuza 0, then jumped ahead to Like a Dragon: Yakuza Pirate in Hawaii (or whatever the insane title the Majima stand alone game is called).

        (these coincidentally are my top three)

        I finished up the pirate one, went back and finished zero (now having more of an appreciation for both Kiryu and Mojima) and have been playing the rest in numerical order. Yakuza One, Two and Three are all great, I think I stalled out on Yakuza 6 before taking a break for a bit.

        I highly recommend looking at the Like a Dragon games - I like Kiryu, but I love Kasugra. His relentless positivity is something that I don’t find often in video games.
