You should. It's the perfect starting point, too, being a prequel. In fact the next game we're getting is a remake of Yakuza 1.

You should just go out and live it for real, assuming you are in a decent sized city

Maybe it's just because I'm in the middle of it but I think this might be one of the best games I've ever played. I can't think of a single thing I dislike.

Majima's storyline is really bad rear end so far. The only other Yakuza game I've played is 1 so it's neat to see his character get fleshed out beyond just being a crazy guy.

Welp. Guess I'm not giving Yakuza 0 any more chances, after all. I played like an hour, then I had to go. I saw no way to save. So I assumed (perhaps foolishly) that Autosave occurred. Booted up just now and nope. No save.

Not going through all that initial slow boring bullshit again.

Outtie five thousand.

This game is cool, but the beginning with all the cutscenes and no fights is awful.

"Majima, the one-eyed, mad-as-a-hatter psychopath of the Yakuza series takes on the role of the protagonist’s sworn nemesis. And to punctuate that in Kiwami, there’s a new system where he pops out of the most random of places for impromptu encounters. I’m talking “pops out of a manhole” levels of ridiculous,"

the spottiness of translations in the past was because they all had roughly a squillion words of text and cost way too much to translate and put into the game

now sega has atlus doing the translation, sony footing the bill, and some pretty good sales numbers of y0, so i think its safe to say you'll be seeing a lot more of this series outside of japan

probably not that weird samurai spinoff, though

GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
This series always interested me, I remember seeing TV commercials for the first one like 15 years ago and thinking it looked awesome. I think Yakuza 0 will be the first one I buy. I assume I won't miss too much not playing the others right away?

The end of Chap 6 is very very good. I've been taking my sweet time wrt story stuff though, I've mostly been doing completion stuff and substories. This game rocks
