I remember when I got this game and played in the living room, my dad asked me why I was playing a game in a different language. I told him it had a good story and that he should try it. He laughed at me and said maybe. After I left the following day and came back a week later, I find a different save file that's been completed and kiwami 1 and 2 on the playstation. It was a great topic for us as we continue to play through the series.
I started playing this game over the summer, then started my Japanese class in the fall...and I shit you not, my professor looks EXACTLY like Kuze. Identical. He even wears the same glasses.
I can't comprehend how this song was a replacement. I would argue that it fit better. I couldn't bring myself to skip the intro on most occasions. It just seemed appropriate that a game set in 80's Japan would get an intro track with the vibe of an anime intro made around the same period. When I heard the song continue to play past its shortened version during the end credits I was overcome with that feeling of having come full circle. I'm not sure that I would have felt that with the original. I hate that I won't be able to forget this game and experience it as new again.
That's the beauty of good games. But you know, there will always be a game that hits the same mark in quality that will make you feel the same all over again. So in that regard, I remain hopeful, and I hope you and many other people who have played and enjoyed this game do as well.
Want to give you the kudos to have my joy as well with the longer version in credits. I can count on my hand the numbers of game I felt sad for in the credits because I saying goodbye to it. Then hearing that rift start again in 1:38 I realized that's not all what this means, this journeys loops so long as you keep getting back up to play it. You can't play it fresh, but you can age like wine so later appreciate it in new ways.
I've only played a bit so far like to the first fight section cause I'm also piled up with other games like the Gravity Rush games and Persona 5, but from what I played, I was already deeply engaged. I was already interested in what Kiryu was doing and his conversation with Nishikiyama I was liking too, definitely shows they go way back. Combat I already liked but if I was this interested in just a few dialogue scenes, something tells me I'm also gonna enjoy the story of this quite a lot.
roboguy75 you won’t regret it cause I’ve spent upto 100hrs playing this game and enjoyed each and every second of the game,it is truly a masterpiece piece of a game and I consider it the best game ever created. You will be engaged throughout the entire play through of the story mode!
Happy to hear it! Look forward to the remake of the first game; Yakuza Kiwami at the end of this month on August 29th, you'll surely enjoy it just as much!
my first as well unfortunately i can't Play that often because of time restrictions you know when you talk to one guy and suddenly stumble into 2 Hours of sidecontent having no Chance to save and quit
Admit it. All of the Dojima Family Lieutenants were S-Class. They were just so cool. Even Kuze, I just had to respect his tenacity in going against Kiryu again and again.
In terms of dopeness I’d say Kuze > Awano > Shibusawa. Kuze had the warrior’s spirit, Awano realized he’d led a life of hedonism for too long, but Shibusawa basically didn’t capitulate to anything other than Kiryu kicking his ass, and even then he wanted Kiryu to kill him just so it’d haunt the boy.
The best acted, best written, and downright amusing game in the last 10 years. Never has a battle over a plot of land, been so riveting. All with a killer soundtrack. Game of the year, decade, whatever!
Yes you will. Remember I saw this game years ago in stores but never picked it up. Thanks to baka mitai deepfake meme, it made me pay attention to this game and turned out one of the best games I have ever played
I've beat them all 5 is my favorite in story and I think 0 is best game play wise but let me tell you this love it from 0 to 6 in that order 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 it's so worth it Goodluck
Yakuza 0 is the first Yakuza game I've played in the series, and I have just finished the story line. And, I can't get over how good of a game it really is. Definitely one of my favourites of all time. Mind = blown. The story line alone would make a brilliant movie.
Dude thats exactly what I thought!! This was my first yakuza game as well, just finished it and this is definitely one of the best storyline in a video game I've played so far! Loved every second of the story, it'll definitely make an amazing move. This easily tops my all-time favs list!
Same with me man, played it as soon as it was on game pass and finished it within 2 days which I rarely do with alot of games. This game was just something else.
My only wish is to somehow re introduce kuze back into the series, that guy is one gem of an antagonist, even the VA wouldn't mind playing his role again, since he was eagerly waiting for a Yakuza role for ages
@@wesleygriffiths8748 Yeah, but thats mostly because Yakuza 0 is a prequel. That means these characters could only re-appear in the games made _after_ it. It's nice that we got to see Pocket Circuit Fighter in Yakuza 6 again, but by the time that game takes place it would've felt weird/forced to meet Shibusawa or Kuze. But yeah, this is one of the reasons I'd love to see a Yakuza Kiwami 3 at some point. They could easily do something similar to Majima's story in Kiwami 2 where we got to meet a certain other character from Y0 again, just with one of the Lieutenants.
shane199817 I obviously did for the first time because how could anyone skip it but the second time and after that, I didn't until I finished the game when I watched it again. I didn't want to infer spoilers from it. I'm going to get 100% completion, watch it one last time and bit Zero fairwell so I can get ready for Kiwami 1 and 2.
This is one of only few games that actually had me so excited from the beginning till the end and put me through such a roller-coaster with the characters and how things turned out, sure, games is all about fun but if the game can manage to absorb you into it's universe then it becomes more then just a game. This song right here became a part of my life, every single day has to start with this bumping full volume through my speakers, thank you Yakuza for making a franchise that will stay with me till the end
I'm planning to finish the entire series, im almost done with yakuza 5, I always come back to listen to this song everytime I finish a yakuza game and hit harder each time.
I’m in yakuza kiwami. Currently I’m trying to max out every abilities cuz I don’t like to feel weak. I do like the yakuza series but I kinda hate how grindy it is but the side stories and majima everywhere makes it better tho.
Ishin outs now, with the man who erased his name releasing in November and 8 releasing next year. You haven't finished anything kyoudai. You're journey continues

Sad these games dont get the attention it deserves
Real talk. I skipped over this song during my playthrough of Yakuza 0 after watching my friend play a lot of it. I never knew how good this song was until the very end. After grinding out the cabaret and real estate, putting the 3 captains in their place, witnessing the sad reunion of Tachibana and Makoto, and the craziness of the Empty Lot, unexpectedly hearing this song in its glory in the credits made me break down into tears... Thank you, Sega, for a truly heart touching, beautiful game.
Yakuza 0 was my first official yakuza game, my first one i played was 4 back in 2013 on ps3 a demo but my cousin deleted after 15 mins saying the cutscenes was too long (it was his ps3 sadly) then fast forward 2019 i saw 0 and was like oh yeah yakuza i forgot it existed then bought it played it and stopped bc i left my ps4 then 2021 i decided to play and beat it once and for all once i did i instantly fell in love i bought kiwami the day i beat it and rest was history
I’ll never forget the time I played this with my dad and we both experienced the Cabaret Club minigame together and the absolute bizarre nature of this game.
@@hoodycoo4391 KFC means Kentucky Fried Chicken Chicken has 2 legs Do you know what else have 2 legs? That's right! Human also have 2 legs 2 divided by 2 equals to 1 Illuminati has 1 eye KFC is Illuminati confirmed!
@@BlueDragonBot IMHO, either/or could work. I'm all in for this being the Yakuza series theme, but if "Receive You" became the theme, I'd be perfectly fine with it since it also has that sense of iconicness to it.
I went to Japan for my very first time and before put a step on Kabukicho, ive put my earphones and started to listen this intro. I would do it again! PS: I was on Dotonbori too
@@sammayo473 Yes, even when SEGA took inspiration on both districts there is a lot of stuff that exists in both worlds, IE in Sotenbori there's the Kuidaore Taro doll and the Glico Man which are the icons of Dotonbori, and the Parking Lot in Kamurocho really exists in Kabukicho
Discovered it in late 2020 I think, Initially cause of the dame da ne meme, I wanted to also try it cause it had a rhythm minigame in it, so I played it, honestly the best game series I played. Played every single one of them now, including ishin :)
You know you've stumbled upon a goldmine when you're introduced at first to crazy intro video with a really sick intro soundtrack! An incredible plot with great character developments and superb voice acting to add to its depth, over-the-top fight scenes, engaging mini-games and really interesting sub-stories.
I don't know why this game hasn't been popular over the years. The story, twists, plot, overall game was just a masterpiece. This game should be recognized not only for the memes but for the game itself!
To me, the English version fits the tragedies and hardships of being a Yakuza more, but the Japanese version better fits the indulgent party vibe of 80's Japan. Both, however, perfectly capture the "I wanna kick some ass" vibe.
The opening that started it all. It's not been that long, but I've played all of the Yakuza games from 0 to Lost Judgement in these last few months, and it feels almost nostalgic to come back to this song again. Truly a masterpiece game.
I got into this series not long after you posted this comment. If I had the resources to build a time machine and go back to kick my younger self in the groin for not playing this game earlier I would do it. It changed my life for the better
I got this game for free from PSN a while back, but didn’t actually open it till about a month ago… The intro was enough for me to go buy the whole series with steelbooks and I have yet to be disappointed
It was one of the first game I've bought on my ps4, since i always wanted to try this "GTA in Japan". Well, it didn't click at first but on my 2nd shot I've became a huge fan. Yakuza 0 is one of my favourite game in general and probably the best of all Yakuza games
@@sarcasticauthor9242 don't forget to say your interlocutors name at a conversation when you're at a loss for words "Nishiki..." "Tachibana..." "Oda..." "Kashiwagi-san..." "Kuze... no aniki..."
I played through the whole game in one sitting. Yes, it was just that good. This opening really got me hooked and I couldn't stop playing. The story was amazing and it was slow at first, but the plot was just immense and just awesome, I even cried at some points, which is a very rare thing for me. When I finished the main story and the credits complete, this opening plays again and even though I played it in one sitting, it just felt so nostalgic for some reason, and I have no idea why. This game is the first of the Yakuza series, and also the first game to make me really cry (Chapter 6 ending). A true masterpiece that I will never forget and forever cherish in my heart.
it takes 10 minutes to begin playing 1 hour to understand the combat 10 hours to complete the story 100 hours to decide when you're gonna stop 1000 hours to realize that this franchise has become part of you
I wasn't ready to enjoy Yakuza as much as I did. I mean come on, a fighting game? I suck at those! But it was on gamepass, and a friend recommended it so I installed it. Heard this song play and I knew, somewhere inside, I was in for something great.
Yakuza 0 is the first game I have been invested into the story for a very long time. Played it on release on PC and starting to replay it again. The feels from this song is insane.
The lead guitar on this does something for my soul in these quarantine times. Almost like Chuck Schuldiner noodling around figuring out the last Death album
I'm so happy Yakuza 0 was my first and that I didn't skip the intro. It was just so good, even the montage of cutscenes that accompany it, just perfection. Majima's fight scenes and Kiryu and Nishiki's camera pan showing their tattoos sends me.😭 This song is rad.
Yakuza 0 is probably the best game in terms of story and music. The fight mechanics is awesome especially with the Mad Dog. The music alone just drew me in.
this opening is hands down one of my favorite songs from 0. it really captures how intense and exciting 0 was at different parts of the story, especially with all different shots from kiryu and majima's cutscenes. when i first played 0, i had a tendency to skip the intro; as i got deeper into the story, i began sitting through it and going "oh hey, i remember that moment!" and it always hyped me up before i jumped back into the game. i love bubble as well, but this opening takes the cake for me.
Beat this game yesterday, what a story, especially Majima's, and if I heard this song without knowing this game was a prequel, I would've thought it's the final game of the entire franchise chronologically.
Love this game, would definetly pay for it when i can since i got it from Gamepass, now me and my father went into the whole adventure of this series, best moments between us for sure since he watched the goofyness and serious tones of all, starting from here
originally he was the mad man going off of the english translation of the first game then mad dog in the second and onward. I am unsure if it was the same with the Japanese version though.
Yeah but to be fair, it's not as bad as Kiwami 1 where you just know that Niskhi and Kiryu fight. When I first looked at the intro first time (I never played any Yakuza game) It was cool but also the context is cut right off properly.
Bought this game because I found it in a cash converter and didn’t know what to play anymore as no game interested me. Just stumbled on it like that. This is probably the best 20 bucks I’ve ever spent.
I've finished all Yakuza games that available on Steam,The day before yesterday,I've cleared Judgment as well and planned to get Lost Judgment and Kaito Files dlc as well. So,Man,This song really gave me strong nostalgia. I wish I could play Yakuza for first times again...
Got this game with the Humble Monthly Bundle for February 2019. I'm now 70 hours in, and am now really looking forward to playing Yakuza Kiwami when it comes to pc! I love how these Japanese games are coming to pc, really shows what I've missed

The translation is wrong though. its literally "The Costumer is God"
How did it take me so long to notice that Kuza is on a motorcycle in the cover of the game.
Kaizo Aleks Didn’t even notice until I read this comment so you’re not alone
In the in-game intro, though, he's supposed to be shirtless. I suppose that they simply decided to have him wear a shirt for the cover art.
he is also heading for Kiryu
You mean drowning in the sewers with a broken everything?
Ah, yes, Kuza. Kuze's long lost biker sister.

Admit it. All of the Dojima Family Lieutenants were S-Class. They were just so cool. Even Kuze, I just had to respect his tenacity in going against Kiryu again and again.
Hate him at first, respect him as a warrior at the end.
Kuze was a massive dick... but I began to respect him as I kept fighting him.
Yakuza 0 had top tier villains. Amazing game.
Awano aka Riki Takeuchi is even more epic in real-life. Check this out, lmao: th-cam.com/video/txcVMXzRNoQ/w-d-xo.html
In terms of dopeness I’d say Kuze > Awano > Shibusawa. Kuze had the warrior’s spirit, Awano realized he’d led a life of hedonism for too long, but Shibusawa basically didn’t capitulate to anything other than Kiryu kicking his ass, and even then he wanted Kiryu to kill him just so it’d haunt the boy.
1:24 - 1:32. It sounds so good it gives me chills.
Combined with seeing Majima at the ICU doors breaking down for in tears the first time ever in the series, it only amplifies the chills
That’s just a fact
Wait, where is Makoto?

Thank you so much for this, man. It's good to see someone else liking the English intro.
I LOVE it.
devilleon7 give it to me
I love it too! :D
How could you not love this? It's great!
It's not the English intro, it's everyone's intro except Japan
Yakuza 0 was my first official yakuza game, my first one i played was 4 back in 2013 on ps3 a demo but my cousin deleted after 15 mins saying the cutscenes was too long (it was his ps3 sadly) then fast forward 2019 i saw 0 and was like oh yeah yakuza i forgot it existed then bought it played it and stopped bc i left my ps4 then 2021 i decided to play and beat it once and for all once i did i instantly fell in love i bought kiwami the day i beat it and rest was history
I’ll never forget the time I played this with my dad and we both experienced the Cabaret Club minigame together and the absolute bizarre nature of this game.
This game was special. Can't believe it's been 7 years
PS4で初めてプレイしてPC版でこのオープニング曲聴いたときは感動したわ。
日本版のほうは龍が如くって感じで、海外版はYAKUZAって感じがして好き。
Cuz of this music I can barely ever skip this intro
I NEVER skip this intro. You just cant!
This song makes my muscles 10x bigger
THAT'S RAD
HOLY SHIT

KFC means Kentucky Fried Chicken
Chicken has 2 legs
Do you know what else have 2 legs?
That's right! Human also have 2 legs
2 divided by 2 equals to 1
Illuminati has 1 eye
KFC is Illuminati confirmed!

This series made me a chad
This is where boys become *CHADS*
I believe it.
Where the boys solve their problems with guns in GTA, the Chads and boys becoming Chads solves their problems with their bare hands in Yakuza series.
This needs to be the Yakuza series theme. Like individual games can have their own themes, but this should be the theme for the whole series.
Nah bro, nothing can replace “Receive You.” Now THAT’S the series theme! This one is fucking dope too tho.
@@BlueDragonBot IMHO, either/or could work. I'm all in for this being the Yakuza series theme, but if "Receive You" became the theme, I'd be perfectly fine with it since it also has that sense of iconicness to it.
I went to Japan for my very first time and before put a step on Kabukicho, ive put my earphones and started to listen this intro. I would do it again!
PS: I was on Dotonbori too
I'm jealous. Visited Kabukicho back in 2016 before I even knew the Yakuza games existed
Do those places actually exist tho?
@@sammayo473 They do. Kamurocho and Sotenbori are inspired off of Kabukicho and Dotonbori, which is their real counterparts
@@sammayo473 Yes, even when SEGA took inspiration on both districts there is a lot of stuff that exists in both worlds, IE in Sotenbori there's the Kuidaore Taro doll and the Glico Man which are the icons of Dotonbori, and the Parking Lot in Kamurocho really exists in Kabukicho

I can’t wait for all these new yakuza 0 fan’s to discover just how brilliant this series is.
Just started a week ago with this being my intro to the series. I'm absolutely loving it
Discovered it in late 2020 I think, Initially cause of the dame da ne meme, I wanted to also try it cause it had a rhythm minigame in it, so I played it, honestly the best game series I played. Played every single one of them now, including ishin :)
You know you've stumbled upon a goldmine when you're introduced at first to crazy intro video with a really sick intro soundtrack!
An incredible plot with great character developments and superb voice acting to add to its depth, over-the-top fight scenes, engaging mini-games and really interesting sub-stories.
Just finished this game. So in a nutshell:
Kiryu: how many times I have to fight you?
Kuze: yes
Kiwami Majima would like to know your location
hope you finished kiwami!
yoneda:
Japanese Op: Kiryu
English Op: Majima
I don't know why this game hasn't been popular over the years. The story, twists, plot, overall game was just a masterpiece. This game should be recognized not only for the memes but for the game itself!
it has been
Good thing this is in english. I almost thought they were playing those instruments in japanese or something!
it's the English version
00:56 This feels so nostalgic for some reason, incredible game overall.
thank god the full series was on Xbox such a masterpiece
What about Ishin
Man this hits different after finishing Infinite Wealth, remembering the entire adventure you went through from 0 to 8.
THIS SONG IS SO DAMN ADDICTING! I WANT TO PUNCH SOMETHING!
I've yet to find a song that gets me as pumped as this.
Shove a guy’s face in the pisser and then kick him out the window lol
Jacob Owen will do now
ORAORAORAORAORA
@@Zonefire15 Even for this games' standard that was a bit overkill
The epitome of the franchise, that has the best themes in both English and Japanese.
This is one of the game intros that you couldn't skip because it was so frickin' good
This kicks the ass of the japanese version, no contest.
*fingers crossed that this is the intro song for the TV show*
Wait what
Either this, Receive You, or Funk Goes On.
Of those three, it would probably be Receive You.
1:09 was when I knew I was gonna love this game, it's so hype. And I wasn't wrong, an absolute legend of a game.
Yes the super cool
Sounds are here
This game i spired me to get physically fit,it’s been two years so far and I’m this close to having kiryus build
Kickass!
This game is amazing and I'm glad it was my first for this series.
Come back to this song, I summon thee
to me the English one fits the game more but i love both the Japanese and English opening themes
To me, the English version fits the tragedies and hardships of being a Yakuza more, but the Japanese version better fits the indulgent party vibe of 80's Japan. Both, however, perfectly capture the "I wanna kick some ass" vibe.
SUPERSONICGIRLIFY great way to put it
The opening that started it all. It's not been that long, but I've played all of the Yakuza games from 0 to Lost Judgement in these last few months, and it feels almost nostalgic to come back to this song again. Truly a masterpiece game.
I got into this series not long after you posted this comment.
If I had the resources to build a time machine and go back to kick my younger self in the groin for not playing this game earlier I would do it. It changed my life for the better
Just finished the game,my god it was awesome!
And hearing this theme in credits is just a perfect ending.
Also thank you for uploading this track!
Here it is, the song that introduced me to one of my favorite game series ever
This song is more Dynasty Warriors than the actual Dynasty Warriors. I love it. Sorry Bubble, this one was perfect for that cutscene.
It felt a bit like Etrian Odyssey later on, but that's probably a coincidence.
theR1ch I kinda wish they go back to this sort of epicness in the newer Dynasty Warriors games.
I feel like Kazuma Kiryu could pursue Lu Bu.
YOU FLAMING IDIOT
TAKE THIS
(sry, had to)
Kazuma Kiryu could Tiger Drop Lu Bu for sure.
I got this game for free from PSN a while back, but didn’t actually open it till about a month ago…
The intro was enough for me to go buy the whole series with steelbooks and I have yet to be disappointed
Did you finish it?
It was one of the first game I've bought on my ps4, since i always wanted to try this "GTA in Japan".
Well, it didn't click at first but on my 2nd shot I've became a huge fan.
Yakuza 0 is one of my favourite game in general and probably the best of all Yakuza games
This game has literally made me embrace my masculinity and work out. Gentlemen, I'm gettin' that Kiryu body.
Get those gains bro, oh and if I hear on the news some madlad fought 10 dudes and sent them all to the ER with a bicycle I'll know who
How to be like kiryu 101
Be well groomed
Be kind
Be strong
Be ripped
Be disciplined

God whoever played the guitar is amazing!!!! 🤯🤯🤯
The guitar is SICK! Mind if I ride off your comment and request that we please appreciate the drums as well?! Especially during the chorus.
This is some 80s type stuff
I played through the whole game in one sitting. Yes, it was just that good.
This opening really got me hooked and I couldn't stop playing. The story was amazing and it was slow at first, but the plot was just immense and just awesome, I even cried at some points, which is a very rare thing for me.
When I finished the main story and the credits complete, this opening plays again and even though I played it in one sitting, it just felt so nostalgic for some reason, and I have no idea why.
This game is the first of the Yakuza series, and also the first game to make me really cry (Chapter 6 ending).
A true masterpiece that I will never forget and forever cherish in my heart.
it takes 10 minutes to begin playing
1 hour to understand the combat
10 hours to complete the story
100 hours to decide when you're gonna stop
1000 hours to realize that this franchise has become part of you
the story took me 86 hours
5 hours to realize that this franchise has become part of you*
I am the Yakuza 0 all this time
The story is 80 hours long
I wasn't ready to enjoy Yakuza as much as I did. I mean come on, a fighting game? I suck at those! But it was on gamepass, and a friend recommended it so I installed it. Heard this song play and I knew, somewhere inside, I was in for something great.
The bad thing about the song is that is:
*The song ends*
:(
This track is RAD!
Yakuza 0 is the first game I have been invested into the story for a very long time. Played it on release on PC and starting to replay it again. The feels from this song is insane.
1:24 - I feel this bit … ❤
There are few games where you know just by the intro or menu music your purchase is justified, Yakuza 0 is one of those few games.
Hearing this theme kick in half way through the endgame credits was cathartic
I fell in love with Yakuza after 0.
DUDE SAMEEEE?
Same!!!
Samee beet series with best protagonist and antagonist. Protagonists like KIRYU-CHAN,majima goro,akiyama,tanimura,ichi and shinanda
And antagonist kuze,dojima,nishki,mine,ryuji,arai,iwami
The lead guitar on this does something for my soul in these quarantine times. Almost like Chuck Schuldiner noodling around figuring out the last Death album
What an entrance to such a badass game
I consider myself very lucky to experience such masterpiece
majima = 24 year's old
kyru = 20 year's old
Makoto = 20 years old
Tachibana = 25 years old
@@Liraaaa1 touchybanana*
This song is so good, I get it stuck in my head all the time. I wish I could go back and play Yakuza 0 for the first time again.
Perfect as a workout music, gave me instant additional testosterone
I'm so happy Yakuza 0 was my first and that I didn't skip the intro. It was just so good, even the montage of cutscenes that accompany it, just perfection. Majima's fight scenes and Kiryu and Nishiki's camera pan showing their tattoos sends me.😭 This song is rad.
Yakuza 0 is probably the best game in terms of story and music. The fight mechanics is awesome especially with the Mad Dog. The music alone just drew me in.
Having finished 0 a week or two ago and started on Kiwami, this intro lives rent free in my head. I love it!
I remember hearing this for the first time, best fucking intro in my life
The song that plays when i do my workouts. Preps me for when i need to fight my way out of my job
Usually English Intros aren't that good, but this is an exception.
this opening is hands down one of my favorite songs from 0. it really captures how intense and exciting 0 was at different parts of the story, especially with all different shots from kiryu and majima's cutscenes. when i first played 0, i had a tendency to skip the intro; as i got deeper into the story, i began sitting through it and going "oh hey, i remember that moment!" and it always hyped me up before i jumped back into the game. i love bubble as well, but this opening takes the cake for me.
I just finished yakuza 0, man I was so happy hearing this song play in the credits
Beat this game yesterday, what a story, especially Majima's, and if I heard this song without knowing this game was a prequel, I would've thought it's the final game of the entire franchise chronologically.
Love this game, would definetly pay for it when i can since i got it from Gamepass, now me and my father went into the whole adventure of this series, best moments between us for sure since he watched the goofyness and serious tones of all, starting from here
Goro Majima is a Beast!
no he's a mad dog
dog is also sometime referred as a beast too though...
so technically correct?
originally he was the mad man going off of the english translation of the first game then mad dog in the second and onward. I am unsure if it was the same with the Japanese version though.
Lord of the night then mad dog of shimano
The song of spoiling half the game in the intro
Yeah but to be fair, it's not as bad as Kiwami 1 where you just know that Niskhi and Kiryu fight. When I first looked at the intro first time (I never played any Yakuza game) It was cool but also the context is cut right off properly.
Worth it tho.
yeah, but if you are playing it for the 1st time you just don't fkn know what tf is happening jahjahja
Its only spoilers in hindsight lol
Bought this game because I found it in a cash converter and didn’t know what to play anymore as no game interested me. Just stumbled on it like that. This is probably the best 20 bucks I’ve ever spent.
*Heaven or hell?*
*Duel 1*
*Let's rock!*
Wait, what do you mean wrong game?
Lol true 😂
@@rikustorm13 I mean would Majima really be that far out there for a guest character for Strive.
listening to this after reading about a Yakuza boss arrested for selling materials to build nuclear weapons
I've finished all Yakuza games that available on Steam,The day before yesterday,I've cleared Judgment as well and planned to get Lost Judgment and Kaito Files dlc as well. So,Man,This song really gave me strong nostalgia. I wish I could play Yakuza for first times again...
Got this game with the Humble Monthly Bundle for February 2019. I'm now 70 hours in, and am now really looking forward to playing Yakuza Kiwami when it comes to pc! I love how these Japanese games are coming to pc, really shows what I've missed
An intro that could convince you to buy the game alone.
