Almost every entry has new tweaks to the battle system, and 3 is no exception.
Despite the basic framework being the same between entries, you could never accuse them of being stale. Things are a bit rough and ready in Yakuza 3.īut as with any Yakuza games, RGG Studio aren’t afraid to try new things.
Those quality of life issues we’ve taken for granted aren’t here in this game: substory introduction, no loading screens, the food porn, the map being more accessible etc. Sometimes that is blatantly obvious despite the work gone into the remaster. Poor guy can’t catch a break.Īfter the full remakes of Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2, it now means that Yakuza 3 is the weakest technologically. Yakuza 3 revolves around a plot of land on the Okinawan beach front that just so happens to be the location of where Kiryu’s orphanage is situated. Upon your return to Kamurocho is where things pick back up plot-wise. Yet, even when I am in a new city there is an itch that only Kamurocho can scratch, and I am eager to get back there. That said, spending time in Downtown Ryukyu is a lovely change of pace from the bright lights of Kamurocho. It is great to see Kiryu in a different light, but with only a few plot beats in between, it does drag on an awful lot. We spend a lot of time acting as a father figure for these children as Kiryu, dealing with such issues as bullying, first crushes, missing pets and stolen money.
In that time period Kiryu has opened the orphanage and welcomed in several children. The game then goes back two years to just after the events of Yakuza 2, before then we as the players play through the two years leading up to the shootings. Yakuza 3 opens with a man who looks a lot like Kiryu’s adopted father, Shintaro Kazama, shooting the Tojo Clan chairman Daigo Dojima in Kamurocho and another man that Kiryu has grown close to in Okinawa. Part of the dislike is due to the ‘in medias res’ introduction.
