I Looked At Negative Yakuza 0 Reviews So You Don't Have To 

I can't tell if you're a real yakuza for beating Yakuza 0 - 6 w/out a controller OR if you're not a real yakuza for beating Yakuza 0 - 6 w/out a controller

@@ChillyCheeseFryz I am not real Yakuza,I am nighttime journalist(Shinada Tatsuo) enjoyer :)

@@lizdevilz7271 Guess i should get you some cookies for youe milk, huh

I already finished yk2 on the keyboard and its surprisingly simple, granted it's not perfect but playable from start to finish.

Your real yakuza for having the balls to do that

technically you can steamroll the game with guns. but who would do that?

@@alihorda ikr

Americans be like:

Guy should buy a PS3 and Yakuza Dead Souls then, it's a mish mash of popular games around that time.

@@TheKazuma410P A secondary suggestion; Sleeping dogs. It's got karaoke and you join the triad but is over all a lot less goofy and over the top compared to Yakuza and has a much more serious story.

and they always say "show!! dont tell!" to sound more sophisticated

The modern gamer is truly an embarrassment.

My 5 year old PC has 0 of these problems except the loud opening, all I did was take off my earbuds when I ope the game and then just put them back on lmao

there is some weird issues that the game triggers on some configurations. The stuttering issues are caused by the bluetooth service constantly scanning for devices, which usually happens if you use bluetooth to connect your gamepad. Disabling the service in windows settings actually fixes it. My friend had the issue, it only started happening several hours into the game, no fucking clue what triggered it.

I used a steam controller and a frankenstein computer setup to play and it works fine.

I play on Xbox, and the game runs perfectly with 60 fps. What kind of potato pcs are they using?

There's an awesome mod that mutes the Sega sound when you open the game. It is unfortunate that games open very loudly, but it's not at all unique to Sega and happens with most games I open on PC. In over 150 hours I had only 1 crash which is great compared to some other games I play lol

Also space bar and E on keyboard

It's funny because the game actually does tell you about it, but it will pop up extraordinarily rarely on the game tips you get every now and again, and it is so easy to miss. I didn't find out about it until I started my kiwami playthrough and it was quite literally the first tip I got when I got control of kiryu. My mind was blown

@@anthonybello1447 ah, i never knew it told you, i just accidentally figure out sometime through yakuza 5 when i was just pressing random buttons while waiting for a conversation in the game to finish

If you're skipping all the cutscenes you're playing for the wrong reason. That being said they are tedious and irritating but I refuse to skip cutscenes unless I've played before.

@@illestvillain1971 i've played all the games, most of them a few times. how do you think i found out about it partway through the series but know it works on all the games? either way most of the time i use the skip its to get substory lady #320 out of my face for the 5th time so i can get back to the story

Have you ever Yakuza 5?

@@thareqprimaharianto8725 I watched a lets play because I didnt have enough money to buy the game. The only game I got on the Xbox was Yakuza 0, which was my first time experiencing it

@@BladerArt Well, then if you got the time and money, try Y5 and see if this comment aged well

@@thareqprimaharianto8725 is Y5 THAT bad ?

@@Kara-de5cz It's not bad. It's just the story is too long and the storytelling technique is too boring.

Actually yea

I‘m sure that there are a lot of them and he just filtered them out.

Meh, they all said "port is broken" and "game centered around telling a story has too much story telling"

@@SpecterNeverSpectator the second one is true though. Yakuza is slow, especially Yakuza 5, it's super slow

@@dingleitches it takes it's time to tell you the story instead of rushing through it.

Even then the amount of cutscenes is absurd. This game goes through a LOT. So having key cutscenes centered around the equivalent of filler episodes in a show or anime really kills the flow.

@@ziontea7045 a lot of it boring drivel and fluff but I wouldn't skip even so

@@Flufferpup I don't disagree with that. My argument only pertains to those who want to just enjoy the story. To those who play it for that, have a valid argument. The substories are literally filler episodes. And they are damn good.

If they got a problem with the cutscenes, Then they need to play Doom or Doom Eternal, Great fast paced game... But the Funny thing is that the Best story Driven games are the Metal Gear Solid Franchise and The Yakuza series.. even though their cutscenes can be 22 minutes or even 1 hour long, They play out their scenes So well it actually drives you with Emotions Like Raiden Defending Snake from the Cybernetic Soldiers in MGS 4, Or The Pure Sadness when you Fight Nishikiyama for the final battle of the first game.. (Well Annoyed when you don't know his origin of why he did it if you didn't play Yakuza 0)

@@ziontea7045 but you don't have to do the side quest if you don't want to...

Stop talking like you're a poorly educated goon on twitter.

Highly unlikely to be the case, "usually" is crazy, PC ports are notorious for being haphazardly managed especially with such a niche genre that Yakuza belongs too.

Actually they were legit complaints on launch. It's still a problem to this day. When I open the graphics settings the game just crashes. Still loved the game. The ports got better after this. It's funny but for me Yakuza: LAD ran better than Kiwami 2 and 6. Proof that the devs learn.

@@Leequidude It's funny in a way, but also very maddening at least to me, especially since LAD was the new path of direction that the series would take. Like now all of a sudden things are good?

@@maylabrown4584 That's true but all the yakuza games before LAD was developed with consoles only in mind, just like in the video it was mentioned that the controls are better using a gamepad. I think during the development of LAD Yakuza 0 was already out in PC and they knew they have to nail it. Well... I heard the Microsoft store release of LAD ran like crap so.....but who the hell buys games there 😅

not really, the game does actually crash sometimes, not sure if i was playing a old version of the game since it was pirated, but theres this one mission in the start of chapter 5 where i kept crashing if i didnt walk slowly, also saw a steam forum post talking about the same issue

Im having a hard time getting my cousin into it, as an ex hater, how do i get him to play, like at all

@@paquitopito9289 You don’t, people have as much right to not like something as they do to like something.

They want to be the real yakuzas haha

I’ve been playing all of yakuza 0 with a keyboard and so far and I haven’t had any problems either. I’m on the part where Majima goes to see Lee in the hospital if you wanted to know.

the definition of skill issue

@@Anigeek1246 if you don't have issues now you probably never will as the remakes all have options to remap everything on the keyboard (even though it can be cryptic sometimes and the grab button is the same as the weapon drop one)

Controller is a lot easier to play as you don't really have to set it up like with the key binds but these guys in reviews act like it's borderline impossible to play with it. Like if it wasn't possible then why would they even bother releasing on PC lmao

As a guy who has put Yakuza 0 in one of the few games that is 10/10 for me personally, I want to play the devil's advocate and try to see the other end of this argument looks like, it would be nice if you could join in and have a little civil discussion. The problems with Yakuza 0's cutscenes are that they have 3 different ways of providing the story (the full voice acted typical game cutscenes when you sit down and watch like a movie, the fully voice acted but in game type of dialogues that you'll have to press a button to continue the dialogue, and the just pictures with voice acted that looks like they're communicating with telekinises), which in together could make an ill-connected presentation of the story, let me explains: - The first one is your typical game cutscenes, nothing too much to criticize, though it might put you in the backseats to watch how to story plays out, but that's the problem that every game has, and if it the game has too much of those, it is natural that you'll constantly feel disconnected with the game while the cutscenes are played out. - The second type requires you to keep pressing the button to progress the dialogue, and the characters will just sit in one place until you do so, so for someone that just wants to enjoy the cutscenes and has some popcorn, it is hard to just sit back and watch, when you have to constantly pressing the button, which is annoying to say the least. - And finally the just pictures with voice acted characters telekinises with each other, it has the same flaws of the previous type, but better camera shots in exchange for some kind of artistic presentation. Put all three together and you suddenly has a question on why the game just didn't use one type of cutscenes (the first type) but made upto three types to create this one annoying experience, especially when they're chained together back to back one type to another, you'll have to move from your seats to press button just because the game feels like it wants to change cutscenes style. Another problem with too much cutscenes is that for people who has played multiple playthroughs of the game and has practically remembered the entire plot, it is irritating to just press skip every time a cutscene occur, and even more painful with the other 2 types of cutscenes, which you can't skip but just speed it up, when you just want to punch some dudes cause this is your 100th playthroughs (yes I know climax battles exists, but as a person who has unlocked all of it, it is torture just to unlock it all, and quite reasonable if someone just doesn't want to do it). Thanks for reading all this, once again I just want to say that Yakuza 0 is one of the best games I have ever played, but that doesn't stop me from seeing its flaws, and I hope to have a nice conversation over this, and we could learn something after all this is over, have a nice day.

@@qgvinh8614 I've completed all the climax battles in 0 and replayed the story multiple times. I do get it, having to rewatch all the cutscenes that may or may not be voice acted which can make you feel less immersed, especially if it's the second type where you're just getting up out of your seat to make Kiryu say "ok." It really is understandable, but I find that even having to just read what the characters are saying and being forced to imagine their voices in my head is an upside for me, because if I can imagine the characters saying anything, then you know it's good voice acting, but I can get that some people just wanna get through the story cutscenes to just beat up some random crazy guy. I do think it's part of the problem though, as Yakuza 0 is a mainly story based game, so if you won't even sacrifice your time and sanity to get through the cutscenes that seem a bit useless/and or weird due to being not voice acted between a few voice acted cutscenes (looking at you heat action tutorial from chapter 1), you can't really call yourself interested in the story. Even if it has no relevance to Dojima, the Lot or even Kiryu/Majima's backstory, it still fleshes out the world which personally is something I like, but I get that it's not for everyone, because one of the main draws from the game IS obviously the combat. (and the silly side stuff) so it's easy to forget why the devs made the game. An anniversary project to further develop things Y1-5 did not about character backstory. Good understanding of my opinion though, maybe not everyone thinks of this game I do. My friend recently picked up the game because I told him to, and the first things he did were: Refuse to use Gamepad because the controls to switch the controls were too sensitive Not use lock on or block Completely forget the story at chapter 1 (despite me telling him the best way for him to get money was finishing chapters or going later in to unlock the business minigames) Personally, I can't stand when people treat the game like a silly side quest beatem-up adventure game, because it really doesn't do the game justice. That's why I personally say the cutscenes are the most important.

@@impactored2873 I wholeheartedly agree, I understand everything you have mentioned, the voiceless dialogues are one of the best things when you try to do the voice act by yourself or with your friends, or maybe just imagine their voices inside your head, this made one of the most engaging experience I have ever had playing a game (I'm looking at you Bacchus, with the onlt canon voice of him is Boy, and the rest is up to your imagination)

@@qgvinh8614 H E Y B O Y

@@impactored2873 I also played through a lot of Yakuza games with keyboard and mouse with little to no troubles, also it requires some rebinding of some keys, but it is a same that your friends can't enjoy the game the way it is supposed to because they want the freedom in their choices, despite how it might affect their enjoyment, it's the kind of GTA mentality that just doesn't work with Yakuza. I get that some of the things we like could be a downside or bad thing to others, cause every person is different, so every experience is different, so I stop being triggered or pissed because of someone else's lack of understanding to something I love, and just feel sorry for them for not able to enjoy this one of a kind game that is Yakuza 0.

I was gonna say this, I played literally ALL Yakuza games, 0-7 with a keyboard and mouse, and it was smooth as shit! I didn't even feel weird, if something felt odd I'd just change it to match the controls from Yakuza 0 and Kiwami, so I have no idea what the reviews were on about honestly, keyboard and mouse are just fine.

I finished Yakuza 0 with a keyboard and mouse. Only problem I had with it is the car chase mini game. It was so frustrating, that when I found out that it was in Kiwami 1, I never bothered playing through that.

thats crazy, i played with controller and would switch to kbm for the disco minigame bc i found it awkward with the joystick

Saints Row feels like an over the top GTA while Yakuza feels like a crime drama that could happen in real life

While playing mahjong, what I would do is take pictures of the board when an opponent won, and then tried to replicate the same hands. I've just put them up on a google drive, you can take a look here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/191jEccROI5vRtLlDu7f-tV5UrjlX15bp?usp=sharing unfortunately there is no "easy way". Although I do recommend playing in the lower difficulty hands, it takes longer to get the points the opponents will get worse hands, giving you more chances to get points yourself. Good luck on the mahjong journey, I didn't like it at first but when I learned how to play it became very addictive.

There is a pretty solid theatre play on YT

Video games stories are a lot more engaging because you are actually part of it , that alone makes it better than movies Red dead redemption 2 for example is something no movie nor a series can match or replicate

I think there is a misunderstanding people have with the text based cutscenes. Instead of watching a movie like with the type 1 cutscenes, the player is forced to play through the cutscene taking them out of the experience because they have to tediously press the button to scroll through the walls of text. And it's not like this game has the best pieces of writing for all text. A lot of times it's just "usual Japan grunting noises but in text form". Having the player play through the cutscenes instead of simply watching them play out really kills the flow. I've beaten this game 3 times. Loved it to death. But that was by far my most consistent complaint. It's like marathoning a movie series but you have to press pause and play after each line of dialogue is spoken by a character. Most games with heavy story reliance are automatic and don't require player input most of the time. It's there to just let you sit down and immerse yourself. These games through all of their titles doesn't do that for obvious budget (or even weird negligence at times?) The amount of reused assets is insane for this franchise. It's normal for most but man it's extremely apparent here

@@ziontea7045 agree the voiceless texts was my biggest gripe with the series , I got used to it over time but I would still prefer if everything was voiced it would have made the world a lot more immersive than it already is and it would have motivated me to go find every single substory But I understand it was the budget that is the problem , at least yakuza 6 and LAD had voices for most of the dialogues

Yakuza 0 OST - I'm Gonna Make Her Mine

@@Rasburr thanks

I am close to 80 hour in chapter 7 and my cabaret bussiness is just about to really boom.

Yeah I haven't had problems with MK controls either. While recording the gameplay I played with the Mouse and Keyboard and I got used to it fairly quickly

All the Yakuza games are fairly easy on KB/M even on the hardest difficulty, all depending on how used to it you are

I definitely don't prefer mouse and keyboard but its really not that bad
