Oh no!

I'm in kimawim the first too, is it "that bad"?

Not at all! Kiwami is an 8/10.

It's a great game overall. But I feel it lacks the impact of Yakuza 0 for a few reasons. It lacks a few of the best mini-games, like dancing, hostess club, and the real estate thing. I also prefer the battle system revolving around the 3 instead of shoehorning Dragon into it right at the start.

Mr. Shakedown was more exciting than Majima Everywhere.

However, you will still love the writing and subquests of Kiwami. It's more like the "lesser" in a series that, so far, I haven't played a bad game in yet.

The *only* game I felt iffy about was Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. It uses the older Yakuza engine (read: Kiwami) but the traveling around the wasteland and no taxis really made it feel like a bunch of unneeded padding. 7/10 game but still solid thanks to excellent combat, solid mini-games, and subquests.

Right now, it's like 0 > Kiwami 2 > Judgment > Kiwami > Lost Paradise.

I'm going to start Yakuza 3 soon.

Yeah arcades are super big in Japan to this day.

A major reason why I miss conventions. MomoCon and Ichibancon invited Tokyo Attack which had Initial-D, DDR and all of its similar games, Taiko no Tatsujin, Rhythm Tengoku, and so much more.

Not only are cons absent during COVID but TokyoAttack closed their business too. So even when cons come back they won't be there to supply cabinets anymore.
