@@iminyourwalls8309 I mean you're not wrong but at the same time you're comparison is unfair since Forza doesn't have combat mechanics.

Guns in GTA are the core of the GTA series and is very smooth to use and are primary focus in most combat situations. Yakuza guns are janky, they are busted, and they have no other function to them besides shooting (with the exception of dead souls)
Because GTA is not intended to be a complex fighting game and at the same time, Yakuza is not intended to be a complex open world since you only just walking around the street and cannot steal or use cars (not even included taxi in 5th series because it counted as a mini game, not main mechanics like GTA).

Yakuza is the furthest from a GTA clone you can get for a game that lets you free roam a city. Every single building in Kamurocho has a story for it. You can look at a random building and it's probably had some sort of significance in one of the games.
Yep. I played Yakuza 0 for 70 hours, pass by that one building next to the Empty Lot area for like hundreds of time, yet only after I play Yakuza 7 do I realize that’s actually a brothel, then after I play Yakuza 1 do I realize that that crazy fucker who drove a truck into the brothel is the same guy who I played back in Yakuza 1. Absolutely insane
Making those pedestrians scream and run away after you beat thugs in dragon engine is yakuza's equivalent to running over pedestrians in your free time in gta.
it's a damn shame this video doesn't have more views. it perfectly encapsulates what makes the Yakuza series so great without spoiling anything major. fantastic job.
Man this video was amazing! The way you synced up the music with the gameplay/cutscenes was just so incredible, such a joy to watch. This is honestly better than the real trailers they use to showcase the game when you start it up
I never liked those trailers because they show too many major spoilers. The only one I really like is the one for 0 and the original Japanese opening for Kiwami using the song 'BLEED'. Thanks a ton for your comment!
@@AxelJVH97 Yeah I never realized how much of the game they actually spoil until after I've finished the game. Luckily for me though, I didn't have anything of the trailers memorized after I started the main game
Im gonna be straight for this. Yakuza is, in every way, perfect. The story, characters, gameplay, humor, and oh god the side stuff... THE SODE STUFF. No matter what you like, you will like something here. Multi layered combat? Heck yeah. Carachters you want to see do well? In spades. Stories that make you cry like a baby and question if what you do is right in some cases? Fuck. Yes. Wanna burn triple or even quadrouple digit hours in minigames? From pool and darts to literal gambilng, yes.
In the Yakuza series, murder is treated as a serious crime and offense, something real mobsters also consider before committing such crime. Its minigames attempt and try to mimic the fact normal life can be just as fun and exciting, if not also quite messy. I've enjoyed both series, shit, 3D era GTA has almost the same vibe as the Yakuza series with its goofiness at times like the Truth from San Andreas. But Yakuza puts some form of grounding in its seriousness before letting shit hit the fan, despite being unbelievable, it is quite actually more realistic than the drab and satirical tone from recent GTA entries, V specifically.
The main reason why I got into the Yakuza series was cause of the music, story wise, characters, memes, Japanese culture, and cause of my brothers who used to play the og Yakuza game on the PS2. My brothers always told me that this is pretty much just Japanese GTA, but after playing it so far (still on Yakuza 0, it’s one hell of a ride so far, and I wanted to start in chronological order) I would beg to differ it way different. It usually takes me a while to try new things because I don’t know if I’ll actually get into it or not, but I honestly should’ve gotten into the Yakuza series a long time ago 😅😅 Of course, I know that not all the Yakuza games are great, but once you know the characters and the story, you’ll definitely want more. I’m just glad that I got into this series!
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort must have gone into picking and choosing and editing together clips not only from several different games, but games this big and varied. Absolute brilliance, especially the opening few minutes. This deserves all the views.
@@aryabratsahoo7474 no spin offs will be coming to PC sadly , johnny and associates literally stopped all the plans for judgement and lost judgement PC 😔

As someone who just started getting into yakuza, I’m both speechless and excited Edit: now am on yakuza Kiwami 2 and it really is exceeding my expectations and it’s comical absurdity and making me cry
Now I’m on yakuza 6 and it’s been a rollercoaster throughout all the way, I almost don’t want to finish yakuza 6 knowing it’s the end of Kiryu’s saga now that I’m attached to all these characters and their stories 😭
Oh my gosh This is the best one so far that which no bs, no Spoliers and most importantly is fun to watch It show that not gta games can done this.... I know im late cause the recommendation , but i just wanna say ,You did a great job mate :D And may you told me what song or theme you use in the Yakuza is serious chapter? It sound so perfect and fit the whole atmosphere the games going to
Sorry for being 3 nonths late but the song in yakuza is serious is "a scattered, eternal moment" its yakuza kiwami 2's final boss theme. As a bonus, in yakuza is extreme, the first song is takumi 2016, and the secone fiercest warrior ~ver. 0~
If I didn’t know anything about Yakuza, the first four minutes would make me say “I have no idea what’s going on but I definitely want to find out.” This is excellent work. “Heat this junk up!”
Amazing tribute video, you've got me all hyped up about making my own Yakuza related content! This franchise deserves all the love it gets, and way more people should be giving it a try! It's an experience that truly captivates you and leaves you wanting more after each entry. Yakuza is
I bothered my classmates so much with how amazing yakuza is (they dont even speak english) that i got one of them to buy 7. Thankfully one of the few that can be played in our native language, spanish.
I regret i ignored this game for ages just because of the whacky shit i often see about it. When i layed my hands on 0 man i was missing out a lot and decided to get all the yakuza games from 0 to 6. This is the only game that made me love and remember a character so much, the only game to ever make me feel bad for the antagonists.
Yakuza for me is the only game so far that could use the SAME MAP for over 9 games yet feel so different, everytime i go around kamurocho, doing all sorts of things, checking whatever is new and im always surprised by the level of detail and flavor each game has, for me the yakuza series will have a really special place in my heart and soul
I went into yakuza thinking "haha funny beatemup with singing hahahaha" and then I cried multiple times over the course of 7 games. Yakuza went from a series I thought was just a silly game franchise (before I played them) to genuinely becoming my favorite game franchise of all time.

@@angelusvastator1297 But it's like calling every 2D platformer a Mario clone. It's a shame too, the GTA comparison killed amazing games like Sleeping Dogs.
Both Yakuza and GTA stay true to the culture they are based in. You're not going to see people in Yakuza doing meth on the sidewalk while coming across 10 brawls because that's just not what you'd see in Japan. They're 2 completely different cultures. GTA is about the absurdity of the average person as well as the absurdity of our politics. How Japan handles these things is vastly different.
Got into it in 2020, but started playing in 2021 (my friend showed me a bunch of stuff and introduced me to it, I bought y0 mid-2020 but I for some reason never played until last year) But god, best decision I've ever made. I'm only on 3, kinda close to finishing, but have also played 7 (kinda wish I waited, but it's fine) and am playing Judgment , and I gotta say, one of my favorite game series of all time already. I'm extremely fixated on it which is kinda bad but that's normal for me, I get into something and it's all I ever think about lol. I've been in a bad mental state for a long while now and these games have been such a huge help for me, seriously. Gotten me through a ton of shit. So glad this series exists and I'm grateful to my sister for buying me all the games lmao 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Yep when I play it I think about final fight sometimes .I always wanted a newer final fight but I think Capcom would have a very tough time beating the yakuza games at this point
I find the GTA radio commercials funny like Little Lacey Surprise, The Barfs, Chateu De Buff, The Evacuator, Space Monkey Seven, anti-internet activists, etc as well as the talk shows like in VCPR, LCFR, WCTR, etc.
You actually can drive a car in the fifth one, you have to participate in a taxi service as a respectable taxi driver, earning points for stopping at red lights and using your turn signal
Never played these series before, but I've seen some videos of it. And it looks really interesting. Don't wanna say anything before playing the game but it got my attention.
funny how some of the scenes used in "yakuza is serious" are from some substories that are kinda silly, but out of context they look so super serious and appropriately dramatic
Unlike gta, yakuza actually has a 6th title to its franchise

I'm only on 3, kinda close to finishing, but have also played 7 (kinda wish I waited, but it's fine) and am playing Judgment , and I gotta say, one of my favorite game series of all time already. I'm extremely fixated on it which is kinda bad but that's normal for me, I get into something and it's all I ever think about lol. I've been in a bad mental state for a long while now and these games have been such a huge help for me, seriously. Gotten me through a ton of shit. So glad this series exists and I'm grateful to my sister for buying me all the games lmao 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I love the editing haha The way you time the scenes 😂😍
When I got my series S. The first game I played was Yakuza 0. Craziest game ever.
This is masterpiece man
This is the best video about yakuza i ever seen
What a gem of a video, thanks reddit
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
The Yakuza spin offs are just mainline games that don't follow the main story
Funny enough, I started both the Yakuza and gta games at the same time (with 0 and San Andreas respectively). I enjoyed a lot both
This vid alone made me sub it's really good
Best Franchise Ever!!
Yakuza is mens game, gta is for 9 year olds.
it is not...
Its Final Fight with open world.
First of all, you are not a criminal you are vigilante that fights crime.
Yep when I play it I think about final fight sometimes .I always wanted a newer final fight but I think Capcom would have a very tough time beating the yakuza games at this point
This video Is so amazing, i wish i had seen it sooner!!!
I find the GTA radio commercials funny like Little Lacey Surprise, The Barfs, Chateu De Buff, The Evacuator, Space Monkey Seven, anti-internet activists, etc as well as the talk shows like in VCPR, LCFR, WCTR, etc.
"but what about spin offs?" *almost immediately shows ryujis ass getting grabbed*
15:52 majima said WHAT???
This is amazing, holy shit
Eh. Can't Drive Cars.
BUT BITCHING FIGHTS!!!! 12/10!!!!
You actually can drive a car in the fifth one, you have to participate in a taxi service as a respectable taxi driver, earning points for stopping at red lights and using your turn signal
TECHNICALLY you can.
You drive cars in 5, and a fucking forklift in Dead Souls.
Best video ever.
I'll buy the whole trilogy to play this game, it's to damm good
Uh its not a trilogy fam
@@yungoldman2823 uhhhhhh well whole series I guess🤣
I've said it in at least one other comment section before, but I'd say Yakuza is closer to River City Ransom than GTA.
The fucking thumbnail XDDD I'M FUCKING DYING!!
Never played these series before, but I've seen some videos of it. And it looks really interesting. Don't wanna say anything before playing the game but it got my attention.
funny how some of the scenes used in "yakuza is serious" are from some substories that are kinda silly, but out of context they look so super serious and appropriately dramatic
