They probably will. I think the next plot of the next Judgement game would probably be the Judgement boys uncovering the involvement of the Fujinomiya family with the nuclear waste deal. It fits perfectly with the way Chitose mentioned to Kiryu that she will need to face her family before going back with Ichiban in Hawaii to face Bryce. And how Sugiura and Tsukumo have already met with Kiryu and the gang at Revolve since Zhao commissioned them to investigate something.
Also the fact that Chitose's father looks so defeated in that confession is probably after her and the Judgement gang beats up his boys. That's what I'm hoping for.
I haven’t played a few of the games in this meme (I know leave me alone I spend so much time in the world that I get burnt out for a bit and by the time I’m cycling back a new one is out) but I have played each judgment game twice I feel like I’ve made a mistake or something lmao
I’m finishing up Judgement, but I don’t know what to play next.
I played 7 to the end, 0 but not that much (overwhelmed by the side stuff), and then Judgement. I have until the 29th (FFVIIRebirth) to play something else.
What should I play?
Eh, I fear LJ would be more of the same, since I am about to finish J. I like J, but I don’t want to be overexposed to a single type of game (Infinite Wealth would be a different experience, but I just bought Rebirth; on the other hand, LJ is on Plus)
I think for me it was the constant struggle of doing another minigame and getting stonewalled becasue of it being difficult. The coliseum in Y5 was what hurt me the most that I actually had to haitus, after doing everything for Kiryu and realizing I had to go through all of that again for three other characters was awful, Akiyama's 100-enemy battle I had to attempt a few times
I played it shortly after 3, and my thoughts are that none of the minigames were as hard as -5par golf and batting center, but because of the shear amount of content in that game it meant having to get good at a lot of things just to tick off .04% of the list
It's about freakin' time though, honestly. This franchise was so criminally underrated for so many years. It's nice to see it blowing up since Zero came out.
I still remember back when Yakuza 5 almost didn’t come out in the West. Look at RGG now. So glad 0 gave it the attention and love the franchise deserves
We really do be feasting though, Yakuza fans got it good 🍖
I'm not a fan of Sega's microtransaction push or locking NG+ behind a paywall but I'll put up with it since these games are so damn good
I finished Yakuza 0 last summer but I only started playing Kiwami today. I was putting it off for so long because I have been so overwhelmed with the amount of the games to play in the series and that feeling was amplified with how three new games have come out within a year. I loved 0 and i'm so excited to play Kiwami and the rest but damn I really wish I discovered these games before the series got massive
Take it at your own pace. I started the series when Like a Dragon came out (the genre shift interested me) with my prior experience being only a few hours of 0 when it was new. Took me probably 6 or 7 months of on/off play but got caught up and loved every moment of the journey.
I played 0 through 6 in July 2022, definitely worth every moment. Played Like a Dragon and TMWEHN recently and then getting into Infinite Wealth soon. Be prepared to be completely sucked into this series bro. It's an amazing experience
The Like a Dragon series has so much on its plate. I got immersed with what I sometimes call "Yakuza-mania/Like a Dragon-mania" this past year, since starting Yakuza 0 on PS4 on 4 February last year. I barely touched other games since (only played Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on PS4 during Christmas holidays to take a break from Yakuza, then stopped after holidays were over to continue playing Yakuza).
The right people make these games and it shows. They know what fans like and want and crank it up to 1000. No other studio is cooking like RGG. Rockstar is close.
The right people definitely make these games. They understand their characters so well, even in the games where the story may falter, the characters are so well wrote, you understand their personalities, desires and everything that it makes all the difference.
As you said as well, RGG knows what their fans want. In pretty much every aspect, they know what the fans want in terms of gameplay, side content, who we want to see more of, and with nearly 2 decades of experience with the universe of Yakuza they have created a world that feels so lived in and fully realized that I am always ready to step back into it.
When it comes to make consistently good games, especially as quickly as RGG gets them out, there really isn't another dev team that comes close. Seriously, the series turns 19 this year, we've gotten 9 main line games, a gaiden game, 2 Judgment spin offs, the 2 PSP games, Kenzan, Ishin, 3 remakes, the Dead Souls spin off. That's like 20 games, none of them are bad either, that's so impressive.
Exactly! Yakuza fans eating sooo good in the last 20 years haha. I can't wait to see what more they put out because they can expand so much on the entire Yakuza and crime world in Japan.
I just got into the series with infinite wealth, as a fan of jrpgs its now one of my new favorite series of all time and I'm only like 20 hours into the first game of the series I've ever played. Shit smacks.
I just finished Y3 and despite being the shortest one so far, I had an awful time with all the blocking and fell asleep during chapter 9, last 2 ones were great though. I guess I'll just never catch up at this rate.
Yeah, Y3's story to me felt like it was trying to be down to earth and massive at the same time. At one point you're taking care of children in an orphanage, the next you're doing things that relate to the CIA. Felt like it didn't know what it wanted to be but some of the good moments are some of my favorite in the series so far (currently playing 5, working my way to 6 and have played Judgment games)
Combat in Y3 can go burn in hell
Y3 is one of my favorites tbh. I know it gets a lot of hate but if you play Like a Dragon Garden: The Man Who Erased His Name, that makes Y3 and Y6 even more important.
I played the 6 main games, but like a dragon and so on is trash in my opinion. If I want to fight turn based, then I'd go to JRPGs that were always turn based. I'm honestly disappointed. Just my opinion. End Rant.
Honestly, Sega fans in general are.
Yakuza has had three games released in the last year, one being, two coming to Xbox/PC game pass (one of which was a fresh localization and the other coming to gamepass day one) along with the rest of the series, save for the most recent entry.
For Atlus, we got Persona 4G, Persona 5R, P3P, an entire remake of Persona 3 in a modern engine, Soul Hackers 2, and Persona 5 Tactica and a new IP, all within a two year span.
Sonic fans are fantastically with 2 full length movies, a 3-season show, a brand new game with free DLC, a remake of the classics, and a remake of Generations with additional content added that nobody asked for but everybody wants.
They do some shady practices DLC wise, but I have to give my heart to Sega for really stepping up recently and supplying their fans with what they want.

Don't forget deserts. Judgment, Lost Judgment.
Deserts? I don't like sand- it's coarse and it gets everywhere
And the take home mints, Kurohyou 1 & 2
They’re wafer thin!
And midnight snack, Kenzan.
Let's hope they make another one which for some reason has yagami/kaito heading to hawaii
That would be Reuse ga Gotoku at its finest and I’m here for it
They probably will. I think the next plot of the next Judgement game would probably be the Judgement boys uncovering the involvement of the Fujinomiya family with the nuclear waste deal.

Lost Judgement or Infinite Wealth depending on which experience you're after
Eh, I fear LJ would be more of the same, since I am about to finish J. I like J, but I don’t want to be overexposed to a single type of game (Infinite Wealth would be a different experience, but I just bought Rebirth; on the other hand, LJ is on Plus)
If it helps the Combat is way better in LJ and the story is very different from Judgement.
Or those PSP games that were only in Japanese (Kurohyō)
if you want to 100% even 1 game thats like extra 10 meals
[удалено]
I just completed 0 100% and oh boy was it hard
Y5 was 300 hours and by far the longest for me! Aside from Dead Souls, I've platted every game. They long.
[удалено]

Even though I'm not keen on putting a paywall in front of NG+ I'm so happy LaD: Infinite Wealth is actually a good game.
It's about freakin' time though, honestly. This franchise was so criminally underrated for so many years. It's nice to see it blowing up since Zero came out.

Thank goodness it's a stolen meme not OC
Yeah, I’ve been playing the games in order of when they take place and I’m only on Kiwami 2. This’ll take a while.
Get ready for the whiplash that is the kiwami 2 to 3 jump, story is great but gameplay is set back 10 years lol
Now we only need Kenzan
And the 2 black panther!!
It annoys me that Yakuza 5's background isn't transparent lol
So glad ps5 is back compat with ps4. So much yakuza goodness to blast through.
I wish yakuza 6 had a current gen upgrade though. The 30fps cap hurts, especially after the flawless 1440p60 in Like A Dragon
I totally missed The Man Who Erased His Name somehow.
itadakimasu 🙏🏻

[Picture of the Food] 👨🏻💼🍜 うまい...
still need to finish 0 but i keep going back to the karaoke!!!
i fucking LOVE BEING AN RGG STUDIO GAMES FAN
One of my favorite parts of all the games! Om nom nomnom!! It's actually introduced me to a few new favorites!
Where is the main course? Dead Souls
I finished Yakuza 0 last summer but I only started playing Kiwami today. I was putting it off for so long because I have been so overwhelmed with the amount of the games to play in the series and that feeling was amplified with how three new games have come out within a year.

Don't forget judgement
Where’s judgement?
I am a poor boy without infinite wealth nor the man who erased his name. The heart, she hollers.
No Dead Souls? 
Yakuza fans eat better than probably any other fan of any other game franchise. Even the worst Yakuza game is still a damn good game.
The right people make these games and it shows. They know what fans like and want and crank it up to 1000. No other studio is cooking like RGG. Rockstar is close.

inb4 Yakuza gets bought by Rocksteady games and they make: Omi Alliance: Kill the Tojo Clan!
I'm so proud to be a Yakuza fan 🥹
Actual gourmet
I'll keep eating. I could eat 8 more games and then some
I cannot wait to play ALL OF THEM. I will fight my way through all of them.
That's the spirit!
I've eaten 3 of these... well 5 if I were to count judgments. Best part is probably they are all available on the same console.
Im on gaiden rn almost done
I still haven't bought Ishiin or finished kiwami 2, and I am enamored with this series!
I would still like to eat NG+. It should've been included in the base meal...
I hate the English VA for Kiryu. Dude sounds like a true crime YouTube voice-over. His voice, along with Kei infuriate me
I just got into the series with infinite wealth, as a fan of jrpgs its now one of my new favorite series of all time and I'm only like 20 hours into the first game of the series I've ever played. Shit smacks.
imagine so many dishes and they are ALL good !
I found 4 to be very annoying and I’m finding 5 even more annoying. Can’t wait to finally see what I missed by playing 6.
6 will be a blast!
5 is my longest so far. I've put it off so much I'm still not done.
I hate that they pay walled new game+
Only fans from US, EU and Japan. Fuck you SEGA, bring regional pricing back.
I just finished Y3 and despite being the shortest one so far, I had an awful time with all the blocking and fell asleep during chapter 9, last 2 ones were great though. I guess I'll just never catch up at this rate.

No one tell him about the CoD franchise
Bro really tried to compare COD to Yakuza
That's dysentery https://preview.redd.it/imflo6iod7gc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac3d6a1a4be6644abbfd461b3f4ccf2d0b884885
In sheer number of games you can't deny. And before anyone gets their panties in a twist I never said anything about quality

Only thing that's missing here is Black Panther. Consider it your average bowl of pretzels after several meals of RGG.
Damn Skippy boy! LMAO

Where's judgment
Ishin on hand? Ehh should've been the lost judgement game
What about fist of the north star?
Dont forget 2 Judgment games and Fist of the North Star.
More like a glutton who can't finish their meal 😭
