The guys be like, "I play Yakuza for the gritty depiction of organized crime", and then spend 12 hours giving women makeovers in the cabaret club minigame.

Everything I hear about the Yakuza games make me want to play them.

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 23 points 6 months ago

I highly recommend Yakuza 0. It's an origin story prequel for the series and personally I think it has by far the best storyline. It also has the caberet club minigame!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I think I might have that one!

I third playing Yakuza 0. If you like it, you'll more than likely like the whole series.

Odd question, but how much of it (and the newer games) are fully voiced? That was the main thing that turned me off playing them was how much of the content was just reading popup boxes of text.

[-] msage@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

IIRC, Zero had the most voicelines from the first 6 games.

It's an amazing experience, I wish I could play it for the first time again.

They're pretty great.

I spent 40 hours in the Mahjong parlor, waiting for my businesses to drop off their monthly profits so I could invest it again. It is an accurate depiction of being a crime boss, dammit!

[-] msage@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

How did you learn to play Mahjong?

I lost my money on the fights... and some on billiard. I just wanted to beat Erika.

[-] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 6 months ago

I learned it by looking up a guide on how to win at the Mahjong minigame in Yakuza 0. The guide existed. It was a crash course on how to play Riichi Mahjong.

I also played a lot of Mahjong Soul after that. It's a little easier to open a website than having to walk over to the Mahjong parlor every time, but a lot less atmospheric.

[-] msage@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

That's exactly it - those games just breathe atmosphere, and even the minigames add another layer to it.

Sit down, drink up, then throw darts into the wall, cause you've had too much.

perfect/10, will play every game of the series, and then Judgement.
