    I’m a PC player so I started with Yakuza 0 a few years back. Yakuza 3 has some really nice PC specific settings, like super sampling (resolution scale) or really great keyboard and mouse keybinds, we can basically set up controls for each activity in the game, and that includes every mini game out there. It’s not exclusive, we can use either gamepad or mouse and keyboard at will, but the changes we make for each activity will remain saved there.

    Performance wise, I’ve played on a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, quite a bit overkill on the GPU side of things specially but it’s what I run these days. I settled on using 4K DSR downsampling, Ultra Settings, adding an extra 125% super sampling via Resolution Scale on top, and with some FidelityFX Sharpening too to make up for the slight DSR blur….and the game looks great like this, and runs at stable 60 FPS with enough GPU usage headroom to stay at 60 every second of gameplay.

    All of the games in this collection have an issue with variable frame-rate though, so if we don’t “respect” the in game caps, either 30 or 60, the game slows down, so we need to keep either a 30 or 60 cap, or use the “Auto” FPS limit setting in game. This, however, makes my camera movement stutter quite a bit, so I prefer to use a 60 FPS in game cap and adjust settings and resolution to keep that cap at all times.

    The story in this game I found it quite interesting despite being perhaps a bit slower paced, especially at the beginning, without getting into spoilers (yeah I know, game is from the PS3 era but still, for those starting to play on PC first time, it’s still new).

    Eventually, the story goes into overdrive mode, as usual, and I couldn’t stop playing until it was over, so that’s a good sign I guess? I had fun, lots of it, for sure.

    It’s not really a very short game, if you do secondary stuff and enjoy some mini games now and then, overall it has a good length in my opinion, and as usual really interesting characters to discover.

    It does have those special moments that hit you really hard in the feels too, as usual, part of the charm in the series is that, teaching important life lessons, and this game delivers on that front.

    As the first entry in the remastered collection and if you have come from the previous game on the series and PC, Kiwami 2, it may feel like a huge graphical downgrade, only logical since these games are several engine generations behind the Dragon Engine the latest entries use, but the gameplay is very solid and responsive in my opinion, and with all the settings and resolution cranked up, it holds up well, being a PS3 era game after all. These are remasters too, from PS3 games, not remakes like the Kiwami series, keep that in mind before feeling the “downgrades”, and think in “PS3 generation mode”, or something like that :P

    A solid game in my opinion, to start off this collection, probably the “weakest” of the three but that’s not saying much considering I still had a lot of fun with it.    … Full Review »

    Unfortunately, this is probably one of the worse Yakuza game's but do not be saddened since there are still some good things in it. The combatUnfortunately, this is probably one of the worse Yakuza game's but do not be saddened since there are still some good things in it. The combat is awful and really tedious and repetitive and there aren't really any memorable songs or mini games to keep your mind off in fact they are pretty boring. Yakuza is very well known for their amazing side stories but sadly this game didn't have any fun or that interesting side stories to begin with which kinda takes out of the experience. The only part that I really loved was the orphanage story which to be honest was amazing , the kids were so fun to get to know and I really wished that they would spent more time on that part than any other part of the game , hell one of the kid's even refused to date another kid because he was black(lmao) but by the end they learned tolerance and so on (which was amazingly well done). The story sadly is also not in par with the other Yakuza game's and the villain has the most basic and boring as **** motivation that you can find. I can only suggest this game when it's on a discount and of course if you are a yakuza fan (if you are not then don't buy this since it will most likely get you off the series , go play 0 you noob) 5/10 needs more orphans.… Full Review »

Şirket açısından baktığımda anlayabiliyorum, o kadar eski olmadığından remaster yapmayı tercih etmişler fakat oyunun grafikleri ve mekanikleri çok antik hissettiriyor.
    Senaryo açısından biraz değişse de diğerlerinden farklı bir havası var güzel duygular yaşatan bir oyun olmuş.    … Full Review »
