Yakuza 5 on ps+
-
I see Yakuza 5 is on ps+ for ps3. Ive heard nothing but praise for the series is this a good place to start or should i track down the earlier ones. Either way im hyped to play it.
-
I played 1&2 and loved them. I have 4 from a previous PS Plus month. Yakuza 3 doesn't seem to be available digital and it's not exactly cheap anywhere that I can see - is it necessary to play 3? Can I just skip 3 and play 4&5?
-
You should definitely at least play 4 first if not the entirety of 1, 2 and 3 as well. 4 (and I think 3) have modes that let you watch videos that essentially tell you the basic rundown of what the previous games did and I'm not sure why that isn't in 5 as well.
-
Good to know, I've been looking to get into Yakuza but didn't know where to start.
-
@DeweyDTruman Looks like this free games gonna cost me a fortune. Lol
-
I've been holding out on this series for a couple years now. I have 3, 4, and now 5, but no way to play 1 and 2.
PS2 classics please papa Sega.

@DeweyDTruman
Actually all but 5 have the ability to watch recap videos to bring you up to speed on everything, although the ones in 3 are the longest if I recall correctly.
-
I didn't play Yakuza 2 or 3, but also got Yakuza 4 from PS+.
I have to say that Yakuza 4 is necessary for playing Yakuza 5. It introduced a couple of key characters that will be in Yakuza 5 that you will get no context of if you didn't play their arc in Yakuza 4. I only read up on Yakuza 2 and 3 from these retrospectives that they have available ingame or conveniently on Youtube if you don't want to boot it up. Those are good enough, but Yakuza 4 has a lot more going on for it.
-
I just sold my ps3, but I'm gonna get this anyways just in case.
-
@TokyoSlim You get all the free PS+ games regardless. It's free!
-
@Whoaness
So long as you add it to your library first, Kinda wish stuff would just be added automatically if you have PS+
-
@DMCMaster Im in the same boat i only picked up a backwards compatible ps3 recently to play my old ps1/ps2 games and the exclusive games i missed.I went with the 360 last gen I regret my desion now. Suppose it serves me right for going to the dark side. Still i love my bullet hell shooters thats why i chose.
-
This is maybe the weakest of the Yakuza games. I'm about 3 quarters through the game. It's not a terrible game but it doesn't hold up well to most of the other games. As someone said previously play 4 if you can before this one.
@DMCMaster I've started added games via a browser. So much faster than using the console store and it shows all the available games rather than just the ones for that system.
-
@Abdul-M No way, Yakuza 5 is the best one. Playable Haruka is the best!
-
In case anyone missed this the other day
Youtube Video
-
@Whoaness No way! Haruka is the worst. The games called Yakuza not Idol :P
-
@Abdul-M Nah, the best part of Yakuza 5 apart from Kiryu's taxi driving.
-
BTW if anyone wants a quick preview of 0, Kiwami, or the demo for 6 let me know and I'll try and schedule a stream of them.
Would also included Isshin but I haven't beaten it yet.
-
@Whoaness Oh man the Taxi driving :( Sega made Crazy Taxi which is crazy fun. Kiryu Taxi driving is not. I did enjoy the Saejima's hunting tasks.

@Abdul-M Haters gonna hate
