YAKUZA 0 ZERO (PS4)

Very entertaining

The delivery was quick, but the game was damaged in the spine, which is a bit bothering. But overall the game is amazing.

I received the PlayStation Hits version, which is not the one shown in the ad.

This was my entry point into the Yakuza series, and I went in not knowing what to really expect. I was sold on the game after seeing a trailer on the PlayStation Store, and immediately went onto Amazon to buy it (I like physical copies, I’m old school, sue me.). With most of the games I’ve bought in the past few years, I’ve felt at least a small amount of Buyer’s remorse, but this time I felt absolutely none of it. Yakuza 0 is wild, and the closest western comparison I can give it is being like Saints Row 2. Not in terms of gameplay, really, but more in terms of the absolutely PERFECT balance of completely bonkers and hilarious moments alongside the serious, gritty, heart wrenching story moments. You really care about what happens to the characters, you grow to love and care for both Kiryu and Majima, you feel a true sense of brotherhood for Nishiki, and grow to hate many others. Honestly, I didn’t think I would enjoy a game in which I’d have to be reading subtitles constantly to understand what was going on, but I was sorely mistaken, the game being in Japanese never took me out of the experience at all (Rather, I feel it actually added to it), this is helped by the fact that the voice work is FANTASTIC. I can barely speak Japanese, so I may not be qualified to judge, but to me, every single word spoken by the main cast felt like it came from the heart, the acting is honestly incredible. There’s plenty to do in the world, a wealth of side activities from karaoke to bowling, and side quests - often funny, often heartwarming - always enjoyable. Seriously, no matter what, play this game. Give it a shot. It’s fantastic, and it’s one of the best in the franchise. An incredible jumping off point for someone new to the series too. TL;DR Buy it, play it, no excuses

Yakuza 0 is a great entry point into the Yakuza series of games. It introduces you to the main players who have become the face of the series and fan favourite characters in later games. Honestly having known nothing about the Yakuza games but seeing the gameplay and being curious about the series this is a purchase I'm glad I made. It really is a great Action-adventure game withe easy to learn mechanics and tons to do in the world thanks to an assortment of mini games.

Be aware that this sellers version is the playstation hits version and not what the original photo shows. This doesn't affect gameplay but if your like me I dont like the garbage red title. Game is surprisingly good I've never played a Yakuza game so I've been really enjoying it

Can't believe that no one has picked up on this but the Language is completely in Japanese, with no English spoken at all. Yes the subtitles are in English but this game has lots of talking, which means you have to constantly read the words. Take your mind off it for a little while and you miss the story. With so much dialogue to read I got bored with the game fairly quickly.

I'm really not sure what everyone else is playing. There are a few things which are cool about this game, one being that it feels like Shenmue. Apart from that, it really is a poor quality title for 2017 which needs to be alot cheaper. Some quick info: . Virtua fighter type fighting controls . Shenmue type world (with less interactivty) . Great voice acting . Cool story . Limited area of exploration . Limited interaction with the environment . Linear gameplay with lots of invisible walls . Repetitive battles ( I dreaded the thug interactions as it drags you into a boring button bash each time) . 2008 graphics . Feels like an arcade game/ looks like one also . Fillled with lots of weird mini games (dancing/singing/arcade games and more) . SEGA you've dissapointed me. So yeah, I dont like it and I dont quite get the appeal personally. *My opinion*
