Why We NEED a Kiwami 3

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I know people will see the title and thumbnail and will decide to comment before watching even the first 10 seconds of the video and to those people: Throughout this video I explain why a great game deserves to become amazing. I say how Yakuza 3 is unfortunately met with some high expectations compared to later games, but I also say how that doesn't at all prevent the game from still being fun. Not at any point throughout this entire video do I say something like "Yakuza 3 sucks dick". No. Not at all. Not even remotely. I promise.

[@elijahmcdowell9690]

I am replying to show that I have read your comment, and decided to leave why I believe we need a Kiwami 3 and then I''ll watch the video to see if you agree. I feel like we need a Kiwami 3, only so that people who were turned off the series because of 3's jankiness can continue the great series.

[@shizuwolf]

I'm just tired of this conversation coming up. Remakes of the Kurohyou games, porting Lost Paradise to other systems, and the possibility of a Yakuza style Popeye game. Those would be much more interesting and productive conversations to have

If they do kiwami 3, I want more work on the faces and to keep the original feels. I want kiryu to smile like he does in yakuza 3 instead of having a constant angry face like in kiwami 1 and 2. Like, in 3, he's actually happy and calm.

In kiwami 1 I am agreeing with you. It's looking bad but in kiwami 2 it's more looking like kinda tired and matured what he is I mean he went through a lot and is almost 40 at the point. I really like his design there and think it should be taken over maybe with aging indications a bit .

[@majimbo8528]

Yakuza 3 is the slice of life of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise. It's the only Yakuza game where Kiryu's truly at peace and that is 3's charm, it's a breath of fresh air (quite literally) for our stoic protagonist. Putting him into scenarios which tears down his rough exterior to show his soft heart. I absolutely adore 3, sure the gameplay is outdated but it still has it's charm that makes it truly unique. Nagoshi you bastard, ya stole my heart with this one

[@Natsoc1488]

[@bipstymcbipste5641]

I think most Yakuza games nail the characters. The plot and plot progression can be really bad. I loved Rhikiya so fast but when he died I was just like "....okay" cause I was noticing the pattern of really contrived character deaths to the point where Yasuko's death made me cheer cause I was waiting for Katsuragi to pull out the gun. Why even bother having all the badass moments when Kiryu's just gonna leave the antagonist with a weapon to kill his mates and then not do anything to stop them

[@Judgment_Kazzy]

I personally really like Yakuza 3. It's not the strongest in the series but I really enjoy it nonetheless. I really like that Kiryu tries to leave his Yakuza past behind and to see that he just wants to live a normal life with the kids. He also seems so much happier in Yakuza 3, especially in comparison to Yakuza 5 where he is most of the time sad and wishes to return to his past life. I think for his character development Yakuza 3 is probably the strongest and most important game. Most problems, like the blocking and few moves at the start, could probably easily be fixed in Kiwami 3. The biggest problem is probably that you play it directly after Kiwami 2, which is one of the latest in terms of graphics and gameplay.

[@Rdboun]

I'd love to play Yakuza 0 Kiwami and have the 'Kuze everywhere' system they secretly announced a couple weeks back on a friday night

[@NightmareSnake]

I don't think I would want to see Kiwami 3 over literally anything else, but especially Kenzan. Kiwami 1 and 2 make sense to me, because those were games that were stuck in the PS2 graphics era and using Kiryu's old face. But it seems redundant to actually remake any of the games that got remasters. To me those games look and play good enough as they are. Ishin gets a pass because of its lack of a localization, and Kenzan would get the same pass.

[@TheCynicalGhost]

Firstly, good video. Secondly, I don't hate the concept of remaking games. But thirdly, as more time passes I think I'm just tired of constant remakes for games, especially when I just don't think it's necessary. I don't love Yakuza 3 and I don't think it needs one. Yes it has issues, but if you're getting into the franchise, even after playing 0 and the remakes, adjusting to the game even just to see the story continue isn't like pulling teeth. It is still plenty playable and has a lot to offer, it's why it has such a passionate fanbase. What they do to remake it, will inevitably lose what made it what it is. Games are absolutely a product of when they release and I think more people should be more willing to accept that than just continue to beg for remakes. At some point we will get far enough where people will want a remake of a remake just because they like the current style more. Which sounds ridiculous to me. Tl;dr: Games can be old and we can see if the design holds up over time and the games that do are what separates the men from the boys. And gamers should be more willing to go through a process. Primarily ones that go out of their way to discuss games online. And the thought of Yakuza 0 getting a remake made me physically recoil, but it was a good bit.

This is not common knowledge enough but yeah Yakuza 3 remastered is technically a downgrade from its original release on ps3.

Hopefully they keep the eyes similar if they ever do kiwami 3 because something about them just feels special in this one which is fitting considering one of the lines from Joji

[@dragonistlym29b]

Here's my personal opinion that kiwami 3 should be released. First, you can improve the ratings of yakuza 3. yakuza 3 is the most extreme contrast of reviews among fans. There are probably a lot more people who don't like it and a lot of people who decide not to play it. As a result, there are a lot of people who don't play yakuza 4 and yakuza 5 itself because people skip yakuza 3. This is a huge loss for players to enjoy the kiryu story. If you make it right, not only can you reverse the bad reviews of the past, but those who are satisfied with it will naturally try to play 4 and 5 degrees. Second, yakuza 3 is a work that has good characters' charms compared to storytelling that is divided into likes and dislikes. I think one of the advantages of yakuza 3 is its attractive and unique characters. Characters such as Asagao's Kids, Mine, who is evaluated as the best boss of the series, and Rikiya are the biggest beneficiaries of this work. As mentioned earlier, those who skip 3 do not know the charms of these characters. If kiwami 3 is released, it could greatly contribute to making these characters re-examined and popular. Third, we already have the case for kiwami 2. In fact, the story for yakuza 2 is not as good as 3. The emergence of tigers and Osaka Castle was a much-criticized factor in the past. However, kiwami 2 scored 85 Metascore points. This shows that you can get as many hits as you want if the game itself is quality, regardless of the story. The story for kiwami 2 hasn't changed much compared to the original, just improving the graphics and adding play content. The same goes for kiwami 3. If you reinforce the flaws in the original story, but improve the combat system and put in a great variety of sub-content, kiwami 3 can be made into a piece of work enough for kiwami 2. Although some fans keep mentioning that the story for yakuza 3 doesn't need to be remade because it's the worst, if you counter them with the example of kiwami 2, you can't really argue that kiwami 3 is unnecessary. Fourth, if kiwami 3 is successful, remakes of 4 and 5 can also be realized. Fifth, it's possible to keep our forever hero, Kiryu, in the name of a remake. For fans who are sad to let Kiryu go, releasing a series of Kiwami series could be greatly welcomed.

[@luisramirez-or5vg]

Once Kiwami 3 comes out, slowly but surely Yakuza 4 will turn into what Yakuza 3 is now in terms of it being the black sheep of the franchise and eventually people will ask for a Kiwami 4

[@sillysalad0]

would it though, because 4 doesnt suffer the same gameplay problems that 3 has that people are upset about

[@sandorbence2067]

Yakuza 4 is leagues ahead of 3, crazy how there's only a year between the 2 entries. It's so much more polished and fun, that it would benefit much less from a remake. Not to mention the biggest issue there is the story, they won't rewrite that.

[@Maloolz]

And then after 4 Kiwami, Yakuza 5 will be too dated. It's a continuous cycle, which is why I don't join the people who constantly say "YOU NEED TO REMAKE X GAME". How bout' we just make new games???

[@sandorbence2067]

@@Maloolz Given how the new games turned out and the general direction for the series maybe it's better to remake old games/entries in this case than create new ones. But I agree, we need more new original titles, it's remasters/remakes and sequels all over.

@@sillysalad0Tbh it kinda does. It’s not as bad as 3, but it’s infinitely more obnoxious than 5. If 3 got remade I could easily see people railing on 4 more.

honestly could have split this video down into sections, with a camera facing directly towards you with a text box underneath saying "What should I ask about?" with a selection box of four options for the different sections of the video

Okinawa in the Dragon Engine will look incredible, that's what I want to see the most.

[@paragonrobbie9270]

As someone currently going through 3, I really wish it could've been a full remake. So far I'm liking the story a lot, but getting to the story bits means I need to play the game, and that's the most paunful part.

Mate right after you said there was no Yakuza games on switch you beat it by 2 hours god speed

[@RTXWorld-m2h]

Yakuza 0 is one of the very best game ever made imo , i hope we get a remake of it
