Yakuza 0 Review Japan Simulator Reaction

[@alessandromattioli8937]

You need to play this game next for a livestream series, there is so much that it offers and is a joyride and drama

[@michealdeangelo7452]

That would be cool. But I feel if they were to get the full Yakuza experience, they'd have to play more than just the main story missions. I could easily see this becoming 20+ part playthrough. Definitely would be more of a time investment than the other games they've played.

[@aamacan]

100% this the Yakuza series makes for a great stream series on the channel.

[@jayjay8782]

I have a plan to get the game sometime in the future but which one should i get? I got the PS4 so pls help thxx

​@@jayjay8782Start with Yakuza 0.

[@hawgfancolby]

Yakuza is a hard series to explain just because each game has such a deep story and they all build on each other almost like almost like a soap opera. Most of the characters are well-written and fleshed out, it’s honestly something you just have to play to understand. 0 is a great game to start with or the best one to play if you do just one game but I highly recommend the entire series for people that want something long-term to play.

[@fettel1988]

It's also really hard to explain when you can look up a clip of adult men in diapers in their baby fetish. Like yo dawg. That ain't a FRACTION of what you tried explaining.

[@idnyftw]

I told my sister Like A Dragon is like a Jdrama written by the crew behind the original Dragon Age

[@akaDALTA]

and depends on where do you start playing (yakuza 0 or 1) your reaction towards majima behaviour will be... something (totally not a spoiler xD)

[@makotonarukami7468]

I bought the collection, along with 6 and 0 a couple of years ago, and I've been ignoring them for months. I'm finally going to start with 0, then take a break with some other game, then do 1, and so forth. I think If I am going to finally play 0-6, I'm really going to need to take Yakuza breaks. I'm simply going to get through the stories and spend little time with the other sides activities then once I complete 0-6, I'm going to pick 3 to save on my PS4 as I delete the others to re-download other games like Resident evil, and etc. Then focus on really taking my time in those 3 that I end up liking the most. (I have a hypothesis that I'm going to end up keeping 0, 5 and 6. Because 0 well very well received, and could persuade me to give the next one as a motivator, and once I get to 3, and 4...I take it that those are less "Great" followed by what I heard from 5 where you play 5 characters, then the Avengers EndGame of 6...I'm guess since it's kinda the last one pre-reveal of 7, and 8.

[@fettel1988]

@@makotonarukami7468 Take breaks, my dude. I started the series with 3, albeit late, and that was back when it took half a decade to get one localized. They are BULKY games, and ever since they got more mainstream, they release too fast for themselves.

Maxxor's description of the game is indeed very accurate. He may exaggerate for other games but this one is very true. You guys definitely need to play or watch gameplay/cutscenes if available.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Feels like a game we need to play and experience 🙂

[@pandanoko729]

Okay to be fair about the Cabaret side story, it’s on Maxor for doing it all in one sitting. It’s better if you do a bit of it each chapter between the main story. Same goes for the Real Estate side story.

[@Mari_Izu]

Exactly, I finished them at the final chapter, playing a bit each chapter to chill a bit.

[@joshuaanderson1712]

Real Estate has you buy up buildings (assuming you've done a fair few of the quests to get the advisors so you have them on hand) then wander around town beating up gang members while you wait for the collection to time out, then repeat until done. Caberet is quite a bit more difficult.

[@bipstymcbipste5641]

​@@joshuaanderson1712 I did real estate all in one go as soon as I unlocked it. I was just having so much fun. Cabaret has you more actively involved so it seems more fun but the money you get from it is just not worth the effort imo.

[@Ctrekoz]

Cabaret is one of the things I like about Y0 the most. Ironic that Mad Dog sucks so I played it (and still do) for fun, not for the fighting style. Real Estate sucked.

[@TwoSevenX]

Actually the final push for money strat is to let either Mr Shakedown rob you, let him grift some other folks, and then beat him up and get your money everyone else's money back, and the Secret styles are perfect for this, Goro is almost impossible to hit and Kiryu simply rubs a nearby building on Mr. Shakedown's face, gently and respectfully. Also not kidding about the Life thing; it's literally the series subtitle.

[@kaizerlith7070]

Yakuza is a series where most of the main plot is super serious. Sex trafficing, murder and blackmail are usually playing some part in the main plot. While all the side stuff and gameplay is so silly. But somehow they mesh well together. The only other series I can think pulls even close to the same mix is Gintama.

[@silentjustin]

You guys should absolutely play this game it is fantastic. From the main story to the side quest and even the mini games are so much fun and the writing in the main story is some of the best crime drama writing I've seen in years.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Seems like a fun series and game to play 🙂🤩

[@idnyftw]

without hitting any real plot points, the best way to describe the lore for Yakuza is you think of a crime-themed Japanese drama series, with whole episodes where it shifts to pure comedy

[@ragnar97]

The Yakuza franchise to me is kinda like a comfort movie, no matter how rough life can get it always puts a smile on my face

[@Mari_Izu]

Yakuza series is basically a playabe Japanese crime drama and Shen Mue's spiritual successor, but focusing more in action and is full of mini games and mini stories to enrich the world and give you some break of the the heavy drama full of cutscenes. Kamurocho is basically it's own character. It's a game that let's you play at your own pace, and that's always nice. It's also a nice Japan virtual tourism, a lot of the stores and restaurants are real, same with drinks, and some games even has the bartender talking a bit about the history of each drink.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Sounds very immersive 🤩

[@Mari_Izu]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It is, I hope you play the series some day, and hope you enjoy it.

[@ayanleman]

Yakuza's so good because it flips on a dime from Crime Thriller to Jackie Chan Movie And nails both

[@Ghostel3591]

One minute you feel like you're in the middle of Godfather crime drama... And then suddenly it is Simpsons Episode and Kiryu just won chicken in a bowling and comes up with idea of making it his new estate manager.

[@DemonKnight94]

Yakuza 0 is the craziest game i've played in my life. It's not always fun but it's like one of the best gaming experiances of all time.

[@shatterpointgaming215]

Yakuza has been one of my favorite series for years. It's an amazing series with alot of ups and downs. Maxors review is spot on.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎🤟

[@JohnSmith-XYZ]

By the way, you can also start with Yakuza: Like A Dragon, it's the 7th entry in the series but it serves a whole new entry point because it's about a completely NEW protagonist with a NEW cast of characters and story.

It's awesome to see this video be finally reacted to because this is easily my favorite of Maxor's videos. I agree with other people saying you two should play the game when you get a chance because it truly is a outstanding game.

Been exited to see yall to react to this one! Also my favorite Max0r video,this game is like made for him lol,also as a fan of the series im glad to see you guys also enjoyed the emotional beat at the end, it honestly rings so true for this game and the entire franchise. If yall are interested on knowing more about the series in a less sensory overloaded way (lol), Super eyepatch wolf has a great video on it too which dwells a bit more in the history and the themes of the franchise.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Less sensory overload haha. super eyepatch is a creator we’ve been told to check out previously that we eventually need to get to 🙂

[@Mr-Geist-Bong]

Yakuza 0 is by far the best one overall story and gameplay wise. Best place to start and one of the best semi open world games where the world is small but dense instead of large and empty. The main story is very serious and edgy. The side quests are all completely bonkers and a great break from the drama in the story. 100/10 game

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Well said. 🙂

[@10yearjointchannel]

you guys should watch the game's quick time events/action sequences and probably their fails (which are really painful)

I highly recommend reacting to both to the Dynamic Intros for the whole series and the EX actions for the game Lost Judgment (a spinoff yakuza game)

[@gorgeouszan]

Yakuza 0 is on my list of greatest games of all time. It's just plain incredible. It's characters are fantastic, it's plot is engrossing and heartbreaking, it's action is over the top, and it's sprinkled with absurd comedy throughout.

[@regalcartoon5932]

You guys need to play Yakuza 0. And then play Kiwami, and Kiwami 2, and 3 Remastered, 4 Remastered, 5 Remastered, 6: The Song of Life, and 7/Like a Dragon. And Judgement and its sequel Lost Judgement if you want. Perfect time to play through the series. Got two new games coming out that will provide a continuation of Kiryu’s story alongside continuing Ichiban’s story. And the series is being renamed “Like a Dragon” in the west (It’s always been known as Like a Dragon in the east). So it’s the perfect time to jump in, catch up, and wait for the new games.

[@Alphasnowbordergirl]

Personally I enjoyed the cabaret and real-estate missions. The cabaret I tried to complete on one go basically. The story is really good though. I was invested in Majima's love story. You should play it.

[@technogeek]

Ok let's backup a bit. I've been going through the Yakuza rabbit hole myself lately and Yakuza 0 is fantastic. This video was great, VERY funny. It's also VERY exaggerated. Here's the true and false. Yes, the side quests range from the reasonable to the downright wacky. It's a very common draw to playing the game now a days. Yes, the story is played VERY straight, absolutely contrasting the side quests and all the extra stuff crammed into it. NO, Majima isn't a pimp running a "whore house". It's a cabaret club mode that doubles as employee management game and a time and resource management game. I really loved playing the cabaret mode and learning all its nuance. But some people don't like it. That's fine, it's love it or hate it. NO, you don't pair women in the cabaret mode up with customers with the intent that they get a verbally abused. That's a side effect of playing the mode sub optimally. No, the cabaret mode..REALLY...isn't that hard. It throws a lot of information at you up front and expects you to figure some of the rest out, which trust me, is super mangeable. NO, there's no hardcore porn in Yakuza 0. There's an adult video store where you can go and watch short videos of models, and it's very much played for laughs. The blurs were added as a joke to trick you into thinking there's actual nudity. Yes, there's a sexy cat fighting ring mini game. No, it's not something that you risk de-monetization by playing. Again, max0r added the blurs as a joke. Yes, the not canonically killing anyone bit is true. Which makes the joke SO much more funny No, you don't beat up the homeless Yes, the phone minigame is absolutely absurd. It's part of the charm. Do it anyway So when considering what your next livestream or game playthrough should be. Considering where you are in your channel and what you're currently enjoying, there's really only 2 correct answers. DragonBallZ Kakarot, or Yakuza 0. I'd love to watch both, but Yakuza might be a bit more fun first.

[@Quil63]

The Hungry Hungry Homeless in Y7 disagrees with you lol. Also, apparently, it's killed in non self-defense. IE killed someone who couldn't fight/innocent. Kiryu's human meat shield in Y1 stands. XD Everything else, agreed.

[@5223142]

Yakuza is a series with a lot of content. Up until the seventh main entry, it was a beat ‘em up series. With Yakuza: Like A Dragon, they changed it to turn based jrpg cause the new protagonist is that much of a man child For that, there’s two videos that show off how different things are. There’s the Kiwami/Essence attacks, where you use skills that have their own dedicated cutscenes and ride the ridiculous train, and the Poundmates/Summons, where our hero texts the allies he’s made for their help and make even less sense with how weird they are It also had an English dub, so you can choose whether you want to listen to either language

[@acrab6527]

recommending something to watch about Yakuza is hard. Because watching the story cutscenes gets you a scorcese film, but watching the game play is a martial arts movie, and the side quests are the Three Stooges. It's hard to present that you can at any time go play slot car racing for 4 hours, with it's own cast and story line, in between any of the mafia drama.

[@Mari_Izu]

Yeah, for them the best option would be playing it themselves.
