Yakuza 0 - PlayStation Hits - PlayStation 4

Intro: Boy, what an experience this game was! I just finished my first playthrough, with it clocking in at around 78 hours, and I had a hell of a time exploring Kamurocho and Sotenbori. There were thrills, chills, and a lot dudes getting their faces beaten in. Now sit down children, and let me tell you the tale of how Kazama Kiryu and Goro Majima turned themselves into the Dragon of Dojima and Mad Dog of Shimano. Story: Our story begins by rewinding the clock from our modern day to Japan in the late 1980's. This is the time of Japan's bubble economy where drug and prostitution was being used to finance classic anime and video games. Cash rules everyone and everything, and there's always more to be earned through whatever means. We start with fresh-faced yakuza member Kazama Kiryu beating the hell out of a man in an empty lot. Kiryu leaves the man bloodied, but alive. The next morning Kiryu sees that this man has been shot dead and he's the prime suspect and in hot water with his yakuza organization. Meanwhile in Osaka, Goro Majima is the manager of the wildly successful Cabaret Grand. This is but a gilded cage for Majima as he's still in trouble for disobeying orders. Majima is under constant surveillance to make sure he doesn't leave Osaka. Then one day he is given the opportunity to get by into his organization's good graces by performing a hit. Both of these events will spiral out of control for these men as they face insurmountable odds and we the players are treated to one of the best stories in gaming. There are too many twists, turns, and plot twists to count as the plot winds down. If you're just doing the main story, I estimate you're in for between 20-30 hours. As you'll note from my preamble, I said I played 78 hours, so where did the rest go. I'll answer that in another paragraph, but let's get down to the meat of a game, the gameplay. Gameplay: At its heart, the Yakuza series is a 3D brawler, and man do you do a lot of brawling in this game. Both characters have three different fighting styles to choose from in battle. Kiryu has Thug, Rush, and Beast style, while Majima has Thug, Dancer, and Slugger style. Kiryu's Thug style is an unrefined version of what would be his style in the later games. Rush style is like an agile boxer, and the one I found the most useful in the end game. Beast style has Kiryu picking up weapons with every attack and battering his opponents with. Majima thug style is similar to Kiryu's while his dancer style has him rolling on the floor, striking stylish poses, and doing crazy moves. His slugger style sees Majima using his baseball bat to punish all enemies. The combo system is done by mixing light an heavy attacks. The real star of the shows are the Heat Moves! If you get an opponent in a specific spot, press triangle to perform an insane move that will devastate anyone. These moves are brutal and will probably make you flinch at a few of them! When not beating in the face of every nameless goon in Japan, you're roving around the district of Kamurocho or Sotenbori. Notice the word district instead of city. These games have a much smaller open world then most games, though I don't feel like that detracts from the world. The worlds are small, but you get to know them incredibly well by the end of your game. The game worlds are covered with vibrant colors to get that 80's feel. With the story and gameplay out of the way, what's left to talk about in Yakuza 0? Side-Missions/Activities: The side content of Yakuza 0 is the true star of the game! There are 100 side missions for Kazama & Majima to accomplish, some of which include invading a Scientology-like cult, taking part in a risky drug test, and protecting a Michael Jackson parody from zombies in his latest music video. These quests can be anything from funny, a little sad, or sheer craziness. Beyond that are the 80's arcade games to play, RC cars to race, disco songs to be danced to, and so much more! You will sink so much time into these side activities and mini-games. There are also the businesses that both characters run which are another time sink. Kiryu runs a real estate agency and buys businesses around Kamurocho for a bigger payout. This was the lesser of the two as it was mostly waiting for a meter to fill, but Majima's business could be it's own game. Majima runs a hostess club, and it was a lot of fun to do. I was always going back for more time at the club, and was kinda sad to conclude the hostess club story. All of this stuff is 100% optional, but you would be severely depriving yourself of the majority of this game if you did. Conclusion: Yakuza 0 is something that doesn't come along very often. We fans of this series had to beg and fight for the Yakuza 5, and only ended up with a digital only version. Seeing this game's runaway success and glowing reviews makes you feel good inside. It's like seeing a runner struggling to keep up with the pack get a boost of speed and go on to win the race. The game may have a few flaws in it's graphical quality, but everything else is perfect. Even if you just play the story mode, I guarantee you'll be entertained all the way through and have a crazy fun time. For those who dive deep into the world of Majima and Kiryu, you'll discover one of the most wonderful, heartfelt, and optimistic games in history. This is my favorite game since I played Witcher 3, and proof that the PS4 needs more killer exclusives like this. Do yourself and your Playstation a favor, and buy this game to get an experience that you've never had before!

125 hours, I've beaten the story and am just finishing up some post-game hoopla to prep my clear save data for the new game plus. This was the first Yakuza game I've ever played and I've been playing games since '85. Been following the Yakuza news on Siliconera, the metacritic hit so positive on this I decided to take a look. Some youtube guys were showing off all the sexy minigames, and I was just coming off Valkyrie Drive, so I'm not ashamed to say that Catfight Club, et al... peaked my interest. Turns out that Yakuza is very Persona-esque, which was a very unexpected surprise. Except that the story is japanese crime drama, very well done, kind of reminded me of Oldboy. Like if you put Park Chan-wook and John Woo in a blender with a couple of the Dead or Alive beach volleyball girls and an entire minigame collection and hit frappe. Action, romance, the wife kept turning off her sodapop games to watch me play and help run the cabaret club and find the telephone cards and grind the arcade games. I highly recommend a quality wife if you're going for completion. Cabaret club, real estate royale, the funny substories, the 30 second videos of japanese pornstar girls in bikinis playing with balloon animals, this is what Sega does that nintendon't. Bowling was fun. Poker, blackjack. The equipment searches, crafting, leveling the skill trees. Mr shakedown. Fight club! Darts, fishing. I liked that you can customize the appearance of your hostess girls and that's how they look when you go on disco dates. Karaoke, while not my thing, was a thing to see. Racing pocket circuit cars was kind of fun, collecting parts. And the telephone club hook-up game, like old school tinder in japan of '88. This is video games the way they were meant to be played. So many diversions, and it never felt like the side stuff hurt the pace of the main story. All the characters were so great, with so much character, makes Bioware look like high school community theater. Now it wasn't Witcher III good. There was no nudity. Not enough blood. No Ciri, Yen, Triss, etc... depth of romance. Koi-koi is no japanese gwent. Not enough messed up shenanigans. Although it got pretty damn close. I mean this wasn't full-on Battle Royale, it was more like Red Cliff, but if the future Yakuza games can hit this type of content and quality, then I'm all-in. Senran Kagura is the type of tone a lot of the fun parts had. Some Saints Row The Third. Almost a little Kung Fu Hustle. When I'm done with Nier Automata and Persona 5, and its the dog days of summer, Yakuza 0 ng+ is going to be a beautiful pina colada. Very few video games come along and give you as much as Yakuza 0 does. I think they might be onto something here.

Great game. Very fun. But if you don't enjoy cut scenes, especially ones that aren't in English then don't buy.

This is a very story-driver action RPG and I understand that not many people are immediately attracted to game of this genre. After putting in around 30 hours, this game has became one of the best game I’ve ever played. A lot of the moments has made me tear up for the deep story but has also gotten me laugh. The great main story keeps you playing and often times the side story is so distracting but makes everything even better. Often you’ll be surprised by the creativity this game has to offer. The game is weirdly hilarious in many ways and brings very deep and satisfying emotions at the same time. The fighting isn’t too bad but it gets repetitive after a while. I found myself setting to easy mode because I don’t want any delay in continuing the story. The scenery was so real that my mom immediately recognized Osaka when I was there. There are so many things to do in the game like bowling, karaoke, batting, etc. I found myself using the clawing machine for a long period of time just to make a child happy for a side quest. You’ll also get the opportunity to be the president of a real estate agency and a manager of a club. All the side quest are fun and helpful in some way and not a “has no reason to it quest”. There are just so much creativity to the game that by simply wanting to eat takoyaki, it started a side quest with a purple hair old lady that later became a hostess for my club. Weird but makes sense and that’s the charm of this game. Definitely recommend for anyone that enjoys a deep and at times funky story.

What an amazing series, many content is packed in it, makes it very addictive, the price is amazing and was delivered on time!

Lo compré en formato digital hace meses durante una oferta. Lo jugué y tengo registradas 94 hrs y me gustó tanto que me sentí en la necesidad de adquirir mi copia física del juego, el cual es en mi opinión es de los mejores videojuegos de PS4, está entre mis 5 favoritos de la generación. + Historia principal extensa y emocionante. + Mucho contenido secundario de gran calidad, en verdad Sega se lució y el videojuego es todo un masterclass de como hacer este tipo de contenido. Muchas misiones secundarias, muchas de ellas muy cómicas, muchos minijuegos, bailar en la disco, karaoke, administrar un cabaret, juegos arcade clásicos, carreras en carritos de juguete, dardos, billar, mahjong, shogi, etc, etc. +Buena jugabilidad. Los controles funcionan perfecto + Excelente música. Un soundtrack muy extenso que incluye bgm que perfectamente ambientan la acción en pantalla. Además, hay muchas canciones muy buenas que uno puede escuchar durante la historia y los minijuegos como el karaoke y la disco. Un juego altamente recomendado, de gran calidad en todos sus apartados y que se nota que lo hicieron con mucho cariño. Un verdadero carrusel de emociones, puede ser dramático, y a la vez hacer que estallemos de carcajadas con las situaciones y personajes, en verdad hacía mucho que un videojuego no me hacía reír tanto.
