Nah, it's fine. It's like 3 or 4 hours of classic Yakuza gameplay depending on how much you want to dick around the city. But slightly harder since you don't get everything Kiryu gets

Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Currently playing through Yakuza 3 Remastered right now, and is number 4 less uh... parental? Just asking since the stuff does tend to drag on, despite it being nice to see Kiryu have some good in his life for once.
if you like Majima in 0, you'll like Majima mode more than the main game
Also, Yakuza 2 out of context

Oh yeah. 4 is a Yakuza interpretation of a noir mystery. The extent of Dad-Kiryu is two(?) scenes of Haruka telling him to get off his ass and go punch everything back into place.
Oh, excellent. Kiryu-chan is a most excellent problem solver when things need to be punched into proper functioning.
I've been to Dotonbori and it's harmless. Lots of restaurants, feels very "touristy" at parts. Still a very nice area with the Dotonbori flowing between it, the version of it in Kiwami 2 captures the feeling pretty nicely.
Dotonbori also isn't a red light district like Kabukicho.
Back in 2018 we got very fucking drunk and didn't get mugged while looking for a hotel, so that's a thumbs up from me.
Good times, I wanna go back. Fuck the coof.

Beat 5 in my marathon. Felt like more of 4 and is kind of a blur.
Maybe 5 or 6 chapters in Y6 and liking it more since it's focused on just daddy Kiryu.

The bullshit grind for yen in chapter 12 is one of the worst I've ever seen. it's like free to play MMO tier and completely kills the pacing.
It's not enough to ruin the game for me since it's otherwise excellent but what in the fuck were they thinking?

I've been on and off playing Yakuza 0. Kiryu plays like shit and Majima is only marginally better because of the nunchuk move. The styles system is incohesive and overall this is some of the chunkiest, sluggish gameplay I've played in a beat 'em up. Does it improve at all in Kiwami or am I sucking wind until Kiwami 2?
If you think Zero is shit pretty much just give up on the series.
It took me like 10 minutes because my company was already rank #1 so I was getting 3,000,000 yen for every shareholder meeting.
I'm guessing you didn't play much of the Management mini-game beforehand. That's unfortunate.
You're just gonna have to tough it out then I suppose, but it reminds me of when I played the original Yakuza's combat since that's exactly how I felt about that game at the time. If you dislike 0's combat, you would have hated how clunky the original was. Maybe you'll grow to like it by the time you're finished, but you're gonna have a rough time until you hit the Dragon Engine in Kiwami 2 since 0 is considered the pinnacle of the series by most fans.
Kiryu for me is better than Majima because Kiryu is really a hard hitter and bigger counter-hitter than Majima. But Kiryu's only good stance is Legend and Brawler. He becomes really godly when you unlock his proto-Tiger Drop in brawler mode and the Legend stance for the twist counter. then proceed to laugh hard as you can demolish everything with these two moves.
But my favorite of all heat actions is the cigarette spit heat move from Yakuza 3-5, shame its gone with 6 because of public smoking laws.
In Kiwami, its a lot better because there's no slowdown in style-switching. And also you can get really ridiculous combinations using style-switching like the Tiger Drop overdrive (rush-beast-dragon style switch) basically making Amon your bitch
I am mildly disappointed they took styles out for 2 and the later games. While having three weapons is nice, the styles really helped give the combat some extra flavor.
Idk, I like having one style in the dragon engine games because combat has such a great flow.
Rarely ever lock on anymore because Kiryu can attack gracefully in all directions without stopping. The heat mode is 6 is awesome.

I'm starting to remember why I wasn't that big of a fan of Yakuza 3. Everyone graduated from the school hardblocks. It's also a bit clunkier, but that's not really fair since it came before 0 and the Kiwami's.
Judgment's getting a sequel.
