    phenomenal remaster reviews (all 3). As someone else stated, the Yakuza series is now quite popular, yet no one's reviewing the remaster collection. Thank you. BTW, where would you rate the Yakuza remakes (1&2)? Are they "must plays"? Or do the other titles in the series outmatch them? Also, have you played Judgement?

    • @thepretendgamer5019
      @thepretendgamer5019  4 роки тому +4

      I appreciate the kind words about my videos. Thank you for watching them! They are, by far, the most popular videos on my channel.
      As for your question about the Yakuza remakes, that is a tough one to answer. My first Yakuza game was Kiwami so that one will always hold a special place in my heart. I liked Kiwami 2's side content but I did not love its story (most fans love its story though).
      To keep it simple, I would have to say that the other titles do outmatch them. Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 5 are my two favorite games in the series. Give them a try if you choose to play any game in the series if you want my honest opinion. Though it is Yakuza we're talking about so they're all worth a try in my book!
      I only played Judgment for an hour or two. I really need to finish it though. It seems like Yakuza but with different characters.

      @thepretendgamer5019  3 роки тому

      If memory serves, each character gets four or five (I don't really remember) chapters except for Haruka and Akiyama. They share a set of chapters between them so they both don't get a full section to themselves if you get what I'm saying.

    This review is pretty good however I want to add some more problem i have with the game... Yakuza 5 is definitely my favourite in the series but it's not perfect. Imo I wish they make some part of the game snappier like by remove the sewer so we can enter purgatory easier and the shining item on the ground... Also more phone booth, taxi and a sprint button would be dope

    • @thepretendgamer5019

    Nothing against the remasters but they could’ve did better with 3-4-5 to standout as a great game. When I played the remaster it felt like the old gen. No disrespect but I think I’ll stick with 0-1-2 because 2 pretty much has a good ending to the series to me.
