Current Events > I can't get into Yakuza 0

(+) Yeah! (+)

Every time I try playing it I get bored. I don't think it's my cup of tea

That's a bummer. :(

What chapter are you in, if you don't mind me asking?
---

I've made it to chapter 3 I think. I find the combat to be pretty dull. People rave about how great it is but it just seems like standard beat em up fare

don't worry TC you're not missing out, it's just generic weeb shit

Have you switched to the second playable character? If so, then yes, you're on Chapter 3 or later.

There is a depth to the combat, but not on the level of your average Platinum game, if that's what you're looking for. Once you get more abilities you get the opportunity to flesh it out.

Regardless, if the story, dramatics, over-the-top tone, and diversions of the city aren't enough to entice you, then yeah, it's probably not a game for you.

Not as generic as your personality

You must be very young.

I was in college when Yakuza first came out.

That's too bad. The combat definitely isn't like, character action game deep but it's still pretty good, especially once you get more styles.

The big draw though is the super serious crime drama story juxtaposed with the goofy as fuck substories and world. Also 80s Japan.

The game's sound design doesn't get enough credit either - I spent some time in Japan when I was younger and the ambient crowd sounds around town are so spot on it's instantly nostalgic for me.

Did you like Majima's intro?

Didn't mean it that i played it as a child, it came out when i was in my early teens, im just exaggerated a bit :o
Im just disppointed at how many people discovered this game at 0 and then call it weeb shit

I love the series, but I'll admit that the combat isn't that amazing. It's mainly building up your heat gauge and then using it to activate a powerful move.

The story and large amount of side content are where the series truly shines.

Im having trouble getting into it too. I really wanted the ability to change my outfit but didnt want to wait until the end of the game to unlock that ability so that demotivated me.

Oh yeah. Outfit changing is post-game. No getting around that.
