Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

峰的剧情不错。

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a good game but a terrible remake. I enjoyed my time with it, but it suffers from two major issue: It's still Yakuza 3, and its also closer to a Gaiden game than it is the previous Kiwami games. The Gaiden games (The Man Who Erased His Name, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii) split combat into two styles. One for single combat, and one for crowd control. In those games, it works pretty well. Yakuza style and Mad Dog styles are basically the greatest hits of Kiryu and Majima respectively, while Agent and Sea Dog styles were the new crowd control style. In Kiwami 3, we instead get a horribly butchered Dragon style with almost all of its crowd control moves removed or nerfed, and the new Ryukyu style which is... just fine I guess. Its not a particularly fun fighting style. Here some other bullet points about the issues with this game. - Most substories from Yakuza 3 are gone. There are only 30 substories now, which is less than the Gaiden games. Yakuza 3 had over 100, although most sucked tbh. - Komaki is gone and replaced by the master of Ryukyu style. He inexplicably teaches you the Tiger Drop even though that's Komaki's move. - A major character death is retconned. - Another retcon makes it literally impossible for Yakuza 4 to happen after Kiwami 3. - Revelations are entirely gone. No more hilarious cutscenes that teach you new moves. I still think the game is good. Combat isn't block-heavy unlike the original. The Haisai Girls storyline is fun even if it is basically just the same thing as the Joryu Clan and Pirate Colliseum from Gaiden and Pirate Yakuza respectively. The visuals are solid. Theres some new substories that are pretty fun, like the one featuring the real Akiko Wada. Theres a lot of new minigames and whatnot at the orphanage where you have to raise Kiryu's bond with his kids. I haven't actually gotten around to playing Dark Ties yet, so I'm gonna leave that alone. The TLDR is that its a fun game with issues, but even the worst Yakuza game is still better than 90 percent of the slop released by western developers.

+1

Hasta el momento mi Yakuza favorito. Amo a los nenes del Morning Glory y adoro el enfoque humano y costumbrista del juego. Una lástimas las polémicas del remaster y demás, porque me encanta este juego.

J'aurais pu mettre un bon avis se ce jeux si il plantait pas toutes les putain de 30 secondes et si il avait pas planter face aux boss final ce qui a niquer ma progression

まあまあだ.

I just want to preface this review by saying that I have not played the Dark Ties route yet, and as such, this review will only be about the base game. Say what you will about Kiwami 3, but so far, i'm having a blast. Now, in all fairness, I never played the original Yakuza 3, so I went into this game with no pre-conceived notion of what to expect, what's changed/not-changed, or anything. So far though, I am enjoying it a lot. The combat is tight, fast, and feels GREAT. It's not weighty or anything, but you occasionally get those moments of just grappling someone and throwing them into other people and watching them all fall over, it's satisfying and it just feels so nice. Is it perfect? From what i've played so far, no, it's most certainly not, HOWEVER, it's certainly super fun and entertaining. By the way, it runs very well in my experience. Worth at full price? Likely not. Worth it on a sale? Absolutely.
