Wait, why is this so "cheap"?

[Zyrconia]

Isn't this a full length Yakuza title? Sorry, never played a Yakuza game before and don't know much about them, but they are 20+ hours long from what I heard.

Or is it a remaster?

It's a game from 2015, and Yakuza games don't generally release for $60 to begin with.

It's cheap due to age, and one could argue due to the fact the port is a bit so-so in quality. You can expect 100+ hours of gameplay to 100% the game though, so it's definitively a good investiment.

Expensive usually doesn't equal longer playtime unless you're playing one of those open world games.

To be fair, those are recent titles. Especially Kiwami 2.

It's a pretty good port.

Thanks!

So this is a full featured entry in the series, not some cheaper spin-off.

Good! Looks like a good starting point to get into the series.

[Mhmmm]

It's great, have fun.

It's a prequel so you should play this first before the other games, it's incredible.

Those are both current gen games (well, barring some recycled animation rigging from the PS2 original in Kiwami 2).

Also bear in mind Zero (and Kiwami in NA) had the price of the retail PS4 version heavily cut about the same time the PC ports were announced. (& as an aside, this gen is the first that any Yakuza games have made it into a Playstation "best of / classics / whatever" reissue series in the West, whereas practically every Ryû ga Gotoku game including the spin-offs did in Japan).

100+ Hours.

Just checked my stats, I have 111 hours in the game and I estimate it's nearing the end. No no, this is no cut or lightweight version, it's a solid title that provides excellent value, if you are into the setting (modern Japan criminal underworld with a satirical twist), and if you like the gameplay elements. There is tons of side activities you can try in the game, most things are optional, and as I said, if you are interested in Japanese culture, customs and story-driven RPGish games, you will find it goes a long way for the buck you pay.

Well, the port of Yakuza 0 is definitely a whole lot better in quality as a lot of other ports.

But the price is rather low indeed, they could have easily gotten away with charging at least $30-40. But then again, SEGA seems to understand the gamer community a bit better than other big companies.

That's bs, port was great only exception were controls on mouse + kb in some missions (shooting at highway) and minigames (why we can't rebind the keys?)
