Topic	SHINE's Top 10 Games, Top 5 Unplayed Games and Top 5 Old Games of 2017
ninkendo 12/20/17 4:02:17 PM #29:	TOP 5 UNPLAYED GAMES OF 2017 #2. Yakuza 0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ghK1zX0Rk LIKE A DRAGON! It makes me very happy to see Yakuza 0 has seemingly made this series finally relevant in the west. For those unfamiliar with the series the games are an ongoing japanese crime drama starting in the 90s and going into modern times and Yakuza 0 is a prequel that takes place in the 80s when the characters were still fairly young into their yakuza careers. Kazuma Kiryu is awesome and is already nearing my top 10 protagonists of all time. The man is a badass one man army with a heart of gold and pretty much exactly what I want from the character I'm controlling in a game. I had been collecting these games for awhile now and finally played through Yakuza 1 and 2 on PS2 this year. The games are free-roam beat'em ups with RPG elements and are very much the evolution of games like River City Ransom on NES or Shenmue on Dreamcast. The game's stories are separated into chapters usually and in some of the games you're switching which character you're playing as. They perfectly balance the dire seriousness of a crime drama story while also throwing in comedy and signature japanese quirkiness through its sidequests and minigames. Despite being a prequel I didn't play it because as I said in an earlier post I like to play games in release order to appreciate the evolution of gameplay. If I skipped straight to 0 after only playing 1 and 2 I fear I wouldn't enjoy 3-5 as much as they may be missing some of the gameplay enhancements found in 0. It's that reason that I haven't played it and what helps me enjoy more games than I normally would. Yakuza 6 is fast approaching in early 2018 and is supposed to be the end of Kiryu's storyline so I may have to quickly get through these games so I can experience that game's story with everyone else. At the same time there's already a ton of other great games coming out in early 2018 also that I've committed to so it's going to be tough. --- http://i.imgur.com/LhGP5E6.gif https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/CaptainRockman.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:892580548] in SHINE's To...
