"In terms of gameplay Yakuza 6 does little to break new ground, making it weaker than last year's Yakuza 0" - So when Call of Duty or Pokemon do this it's fine but when Yakuza does it it's a negative?
You should get someone who actually enjoys the Yakuza series and knows how to pronounce the names of the characters and isn't doing this just for the money to review the game. Your "criticisms", if you can even call them that, were weak and poorly constructed. Enjoy the dislikes on the video for being out of touch once again with your community IGN.
I dont even play COD games, and i would not dare to call them low effort, be more respectful with the developers even if you dont like those series. Yakuza 6 its getting this kind of scores on many other sites, just look at the Japanese reviews of the game. Just because 0 was great doesnt mean the next 6 entries are as good.
When you milk the general public off 60$ every year to provide the same game with different asthetics to them, you might as well put some effort into it.
Arnab Sarkar Playing devil's advocate here. There are multiple companies that make COD games, so each game usually takes up to 3 or so years to make I believe.
Doesn't break new ground? It's the first time the dragon engine is featured in the series. How is that not new grounds? Also, not once in the video did he mention anything about skill specific moves that require timing to pull off. Second, you never mentioned anything about ultimate heat mode where your moves change as your heat bar goes down. Third, it seems like you just played the game for an hour at a time and never actually got the meat of it but only reviewed what was on the outside. Lastly, get the name of Ka-ZU-ma Kiryu right. Then again, this is IGN.
Reviews like this are why the developers didn’t really want to bring this to the West the game is really about the immersion into the Japanese culture no lie I played the first one and I’m on yakuza 0 now and I never felt bored not once
I was playing Yakuza 0 when this was uploaded! It's actually my first Yakuza game. I also own Kiwami and have Yakuza 6 pre-ordered. Own 2 games and have 1 pre-ordered all before I even played a single one. That's how much I really wanted to get into the series! And I'm really liking it! It's fun and has likeable characters. The substories are hilarious and kinda touching. I can't wait for 6! I wanted it but I actually went and pre-ordered once I found it will have New Japan wrestlers in it. Regardless if it's that gang minigame, I just want to see Okada and Naito. Only problem is that it will be a big jump from 1 to 6. Well, hopefully we do, in fact, get that Kiwami 2.
CCzarMasta56 You began with the right one. There's other installments in the franchise to experience. Be aware that the other installments are on PS3 so give it time.
I think it's worth purchasing an original PS3 (if you can get it on the cheap) so that you can go back and play part 2 (even though it's a PS2 game but is playable on original model PS3 because it was backwards compatible) and then play 3 and 4. Unfortunately 5 was only a digital release outside of Japan and that's the only one I've yet to play. But even if you don't you can still get a pretty firm grasp of everything that's happened from the recaps or even just watching game play videos here on youtube.
CCzarMasta56 lmao I did that too xD got yakuza 0 and own Yakuza kiwami but pre ordered 6 lol... I hope I can play the others on PS4 cause I own a PS3 but I'm not sure about buying it for that system..
The moment he said “Kazama Kiryu”, I stopped watching the video. How can you take the reviewer seriously if they made a small mistake like that? Did he not proofread his script? It shows his lack of effort.
To be honest I felt zero's gameplay kinda repetitive, but I don't really care about the gameplay it's all about that amazing story... Who honestly looks at a yakuza game and says I play it for the combat?
danie wolmarans I've never seen anyone say they don't play games for good gameplay. You can have the best story ever written but if the game isn't fun or interesting to play then it's a waste. but thats just me
I didn't care for the way u unlock moves on yakuza 0. I prefer the rpg level up element like in previous installments. Thats why I felt Kiwami was more fun.
Combat has depth, this one does too, you just play the game on easy difficulty and are overleveled honestly. Kiwami was pretty damn great on gameplay and difficulty. Fighting Arenas are hard etc
The reviewer be like "It has many new updates, no loading screens, some improvements here and there but hmmm... It doesn't cater to me personally and doesn't meet my personal preferences. So let's see if i can nitpick it and give lower score. Maybe people would just buying into it and be our herd of sheeps" LMAO Whatever, mate. People are smarter than that. We take times to actually appreciate things we love and we learn to understand the quality ourselves. Don't get it wrong mate, you can have your opinion, keep it. Afterall, anyone (I mean anyone) can make review videos on TH-cam. LOL. We can have our own too though.
Sympa Dm I downvoted the terrible review, not the game or the score. The reviewer didn't really consider how much better the whole package is and complained that there wasn't so much to do in onomichi, it's a small town, it's supposed to have that vibe. There's more to do there than you first experience and the reviewer clearly didn't go much past the story to discover the best parts of the game.
@BMO it's any other game with sequels where you won't have any connection to the characters or understand anything about them bc you won't have played the previous games
I'm still looking forward to this despite the criticism of lack of challenge/simple combat (which, if true, I agree it's a downgrade). And that's because the story is always the thing that I value the most in this franchise: I haven't played Zero yet, but Yakuza 5 was probably my LEAST favorite Yakuza ever because despite the better gameplay in comparison to 1-4, it had imo the worst pacing & story. So if 6 is anything in tone like 3 or 4, I'm gonna enjoy it.
There’s way more actual combat depth in the singular style; there’s room for a lot of experimentation. Sure you can button mash it I guess but on hard and legend it’s required to really grasp the mechanics. Long time Yakuza fan here... I’ve played every single game in English and Japanese and I still believe this is one of the best if not the best in the series. I’ve had two years since the Japanese release to consider that so I feel like I’m pretty sure the IGN reviewer was full of bs.
Seems like it’s really similar to Kiwami 2’s gameplay and that was easily my favorite of the games right now (going in release order, and I’m playing Yakuza 0 right now).
"I didn't feel the need to play to completion as a result" Then your entire argument is out the window. Another IGN half job. Tumblr for gaming. Off to another review i go.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone is going to have different tastes in games. I don't think I've ever played any game that's perfect but the Yakuza series has been about the only game series to captivate my soul to the point where I actually get excited for a new chapter.
7.5 :( why? I thought the things you mentioned was good. Less grindy, less loading, less chore filling. Never cared for the side content and most of the side quests were annoying fest quests and hated looking for them. This seems easier now which I like. I wish you spoke more about the story as in what you think of it more, main mission is what I am after forget the side quests, arcade games and other modes. How was the sound track did it have that awesome vibes from Zero. How were the boss battles. you didnt talk about anything on that
IF you started with 0 and DIDNT play any of the other games besides Kiwami, then you probably came to expect some crazy "key change". Most fans are in it for the stories and the side stuff to do, Yakuza hasn't changed its core gameplay since the beginning. Thats why this series is Niche. Also, this is a sequel to 5 NOT 0, so the three fighting styles are non-existent to the story at this point unless they retcon every other game besides the Kiwami's. This game is mostly for people who have been following up so far, not new fans.
I played the game hands on when they messed up the demo and I played a little over halfway and I must say it's an easy 8 and I'm sure I would give it an easy 8.5 would I have finished the game, this deserves a much higher score than what he gave.
Wait u say the combat is a problem with the whole throwing guys into other dudes and then whacking them with objects like the game forces u to do that but u don’t have to u just choose to do that when u could make it more fun 😓
Man i wish Kiwami 2 was out before this, it's so tempting but i don't wanna skip half the story. It's a real shame this one is only 30fps. Yakuza 0 is one of the best games i've ever played.
I agree with this review. Yakuza 0 was the first I played in the series, I was hoping 6 would be better then it was. However I'm still a fan of the series, and will likely play the next installment.
It isn't. It's simpler than previous series, much like the first five games, but it combines elements from 4 fighting styles to make one large style of its own. And now the game has new physics, and destructible objects that make fighting in a McDonalds fun.
Loc K ign is so inconsistent, they can't even be consistent with a game series. 6 is obviously better than Kiwami in almost every way, but 6 was scored lower. 0 is undoubtedly more content rich and the story is great, but the new engine and progression system are so much better. It's clear that the franchise has improved a lot in many areas, but neglected others. This review focused almost entirely on the negative side of things
the problem with all reviews is that people always use their preferences in reviews. I can't blame them because it happens to me too. Its hard to review something and not be tempted by our preferences.
I’m new to the Yakuza series and I’m not gonna believe this review. Anyone who reviews a game comparing it to other games or previous games, is a weak reviewer. I’m not gonna believe someone who reviews a game after playing half an hour. Thanks.
Kazama Kiryu LOL. Another game the reviewer didnt play, probably lifting up points from other reviewers. Stopped watching right when he obiviously don't know the name of the main character...
Well if SEGA released their Yakuza games on reasonable timings, that would made it great, instead they just realized that Yakuza is being played by the rest of the world too (Thanks to Sony)
'hard boiled' isn't a saying guy, it connotes nothing... wait, I editted b/c I realized you don't know the difference b/t a hard boiled or soft boiled egg... ha! Aren't you an adult?
if you're thinking about getting this game, don't listen to this tool. get it! this was my first game in the series and since i have purchased all of the current ones on PS4. Yakuza 6 is a phenominal game, one of the best games i have ever played and without a doubt my favorite of 2018, do yourself a treat and give this one a shot. if you are skeptical try the demo out, if you like it purchase it!
I just got into the series. Playing Kiwami AND I LOVE IT. I had it back in the PS2 but it never appealed to me probably as I was too young to appreciate it. Now I know all games are on PS4, but seeing as Kiwami 2 has all the bells and whistles and more from 6... in what order should I play the series?
@Una Persona Im actually at Yakuza 3 now haha. So far I love 2 aside from the substories, I think 1 had better. And 3 Im on Chapter 3 but I love how this is so different than the earlier ones.
Could have had a spoiler warning...man this company is.... nevermind watching another review...
Exactly

Thanks for heads up tho
Thank you

It's clear that the franchise has improved a lot in many areas, but neglected others. This review focused almost entirely on the negative side of things
the problem with all reviews is that people always use their preferences in reviews.
I can't blame them because it happens to me too. Its hard to review something and not be tempted by our preferences.
I’m new to the Yakuza series and I’m not gonna believe this review. Anyone who reviews a game comparing it to other games or previous games, is a weak reviewer. I’m not gonna believe someone who reviews a game after playing half an hour. Thanks.
Shenmue 3 babyyyyy
Joseph Tertia I'm a Shenmue Stan but those character models look like they got their faces tattooed on
Kazama Kiryu LOL. Another game the reviewer didnt play, probably lifting up points from other reviewers. Stopped watching right when he obiviously don't know the name of the main character...
Tbh I agree with the score the game is decent but it's not the best Yakuza game I have played
Amazing series
lmfao i swear a Yakuza game releases every 3 months
Electrolizr They have all been made in Japan for years but they just translate it all and it’s done not to much work
Well they actually rerelease the game...it out on japan years ago
Well if SEGA released their Yakuza games on reasonable timings, that would made it great, instead they just realized that Yakuza is being played by the rest of the world too (Thanks to Sony)
I wish
Electrolizr lmfao I swear they release the exact same COD every few months.
It's clear Ign hates yakuza series
You’re literally saying the combat is TOO perfect?! That doesn’t even make sense!
'hard boiled' isn't a saying guy, it connotes nothing... wait, I editted b/c I realized you don't know the difference b/t a hard boiled or soft boiled egg... ha! Aren't you an adult?
"Kazama Kiryu"
7.5 is a high score if this was any place else other than IGN. Almost an 8/10 is just good...uh ok.
if you're thinking about getting this game, don't listen to this tool. get it! this was my first game in the series and since i have purchased all of the current ones on PS4.
Yakuza 6 is a phenominal game, one of the best games i have ever played and without a doubt my favorite of 2018, do yourself a treat and give this one a shot. if you are skeptical try the demo out, if you like it purchase it!
Does Shin Yakuza come out simultaneously worldwide?
83% on metacritic! Most of them 90, so it's a great game! So many great exclusive on Ps4! :)
7.5 still means it's a good game im fine with the score I think its pretty fair
After listening to the review, I expected a 5.0... What good is your 1-10 scale if you have little you enjoy about the game yet give it a 7.5?!
557 likes, 577 dislikes.
IGN what did you do?
can't wait for next week
Pro tip, Fast press X (Lots and Lots of dialog reading)
u can also skip entire dialogues in this engine
how he pronounces yakuza is killing me lol
Thats how you pronounce it
Why does everybody get the name wrong it's kazuma not kazama
7.5 ain't even a bad score. Idk why people expect their games to be perfect when they really aren't.
I think it's mainly because some bad games ign reviewed have got a higher score than yakuza
I just got into the series. Playing Kiwami AND I LOVE IT. I had it back in the PS2 but it never appealed to me probably as I was too young to appreciate it. Now I know all games are on PS4, but seeing as Kiwami 2 has all the bells and whistles and more from 6... in what order should I play the series?
@Una Persona Im actually at Yakuza 3 now haha. So far I love 2 aside from the substories, I think 1 had better. And 3 Im on Chapter 3 but I love how this is so different than the earlier ones.
