About Yakuza Kiwami

Yakuza: Kiwami is an enhanced remake of the original Yakuza game for PlayStation 2, not just an HD port. While the original PS2 release also had English voice-acting for western release, this PS4 remake only retains Japanese voice-acting for authenticity with available subtitles for other countries.

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,777 ELO points over the last 170 days.

    Oh sure, I definitely played this for the gripping economic simulation, right.

    j'ai enchaîné les mêmes bagarres de rue trois soirs de suite avec un pote, on rigolait bien au début, la troisième soirée on regardait surtout l'heure.

  2. NeonWarden

    The combat loop is satisfying early on, but it gets repetitive fast once side content piles up.

    Mon fils a fini par lâcher la manette sur ce même effet, alors qu'il tenait toute une soirée sur Sleeping Dogs sans broncher

  3. VinylByte

    I picked this up right after finishing Sleeping Dogs, wanted more of that crime city vibe, and ended up spending a whole month wandering the same few streets over and over. Sleeping Dogs felt more like a game about a place, this one felt more like a game about people.

    Carpentier2010

    Un jeu sur les gens plutôt que sur un lieu, ça rejoint ce que je pense de Mafia aussi

  4. BossRex

    Would this even survive a straight fight against Sleeping Dogs on tone alone?

    TurboPhoenix2006

    Un combat sur le ton, sérieusement ? Sleeping Dogs a une histoire de flic infiltré, celui-là raconte une saga sur des années, on compare vraiment des torchons et des serviettes ici.

    GlitchPilot

    Sleeping Dogs gagne sur le ton et l'ambiance de ville, ce qui manque un peu ici c'est justement cette identité de lieu

    NovaOwl

    Tone alone feels like a weird bar honestly, and it kind of proves the point that people keep comparing instead of judging this on its own thing.

  5. SilentRunner

    ¿Alguien puede explicarme cómo se mantiene en el 351 con tantos duelos jugados? Con un 64% de victorias esperaba verlo bastante más arriba en la tabla
