Yakuza 3 is the worst?

[Cloudia]

Is it the story or the combat? so far i don't mind being dad Kiryu since it's so wholesome, but all the fights are ridiculous. like not hard, just stupid how all enemies block your attacks and you can barley land any hits unless you loop around them with a dodge.

Yes, Yakuza 3 is the worst mainline entry (so take that as a mark of quality).

Dad Kiryu is great, but the issue is more how orphanage stuff should've become side content after Kiryu first sets out to Kamurocho in 2009 (because it will grind the plot to a halt at random intervals when the narrative purpose is already well established, even up to the 11th hour).

It's almost at the point to where i wanna skip it, but i refuse to do that.

You want to pursue new fighting techniques as much as possible to work around the blocking spam.

in my impatientness, i played this in RPCS3 just a month prior to the steam release to get a taste, and i have to strongly agree. It's a fantastic game still, but doesn't hold a candle to 0 and kiwami. Maybe i like it a lil more than kiwami 2 and i appreciate that the overall game world feels smaller and more cozy, i love the new location, but the orphanage stuff shouldve been sidequest *and* more fleshed out at least.

[Redblaze27]

Yeah, the orphanage should've been an entire secondary campaign.

Make the thread again when you finish the game. There's a few reasons you probably haven't gotten to yet that informs people's opinion about it. Personally I think K2 is the worst game in the series, it's still a good game but I just dislike the story and some of the plot points were so ridiculous I can't forgive it.

Honestly, i like the story, i just wish the combat was a little different instead of spammed enemy attacks and all your attacks just met with blocks, not to mention friendlies don't do much fighting, they just kinda dodge around instead of helping you.

Coming from Yakuza 0 Kiwami and Kiwami 2 (with a little bit of OG 2 for good measure) I am finding the orphanage refreshing as a story basis. I understand later its a grind but atm I like the idea of growth for Kiryu to finally feel as though he has something to finally live for after losing pretty much everything up to this point. All he has is Haruka and the Orphanage. Tojo is barely afloat, Saya left him, and he lost the 3 most important people in his life (Kazuma, Nishki, and Yumi) of course that is to be seen with how the game is playing out, but I feel refreshed with it even if it feels odd.

Eh, I've played all the Yakuza games and as far as combat at least, this one is the most frustrating. I love the story and setting though. Same with 6. 3 and 6 are considered the black sheep of the series but I really enjoy them.

very cool profile.

[Maxz85]

I'm enjoying it so far, orphanage stuff is pretty refreshing from usual "saving Tojo Clan" stuff.

[まあくん]

nope.
6 is the worst and shouldn't have existed

I couldn't disagree anymore.
The orphanage stuff is too important for Kiryu's character making and it's perfect in his mainstory position.
I wish that similarly to this we had more main story content as a homeless in Like a Dragon as well, we have got a few substories about homeless persons, but being able to do them at anytime ruined the whole thing. Being forced to play them during the first part of the game while the main character used to live as an homeless as well would have been much better than letting you play them later in the game.

i don't know if it because of nostalgia of being my first HD yakuza after playing 1+2 classic
but i have so much good memories about yakuza 3 ! i played all except 6 and yakuza 3 is my favorite !

[YourSenpai]

6 is the worst . Rushed story , lame and boring side quests etc etc . Yakuza 3 is weak too but not as 6
