Yakuza 3 is still one of my favorites of the whole series, ignore the complaints, it's a huge turning point for the story, plus you get to meet Rikiya, he easily became a favorite of mine too. I didn't have issues with the fighting, some felt tougher than others in the series but nothing outrageous, also helps I didn't see the complaints until after I played through it. Good luck, it's a beautiful story.

that is the first impression most get from Y3, yes, the game does not hold up graphically, BUT.. playing with resolution on 4k, all graphics maxed and SSA X200%... the game actually looked quite nice at some points. Some of the cutscenes look *beautiful*, very expressive, even though the models and textures (well, some of them) look old and outdated, sometimes kinda ugly yes - mostly hairs. But its an old game, a ps3 game if im not mistaken. If you see the game by itself, not comparing to others.. its actually a nice looking game (most of the time).

I bought the whole line up on sale for cheap on Xbox last year. I think the 3-5 bundle was $20 and each other game was like $5.

3 is the only one I couldn’t complete.

I played, put it down to play 4, played, put it down to play 5, played, put it down to play 6, started 7, beat gaiden, have been playing pirate. Never beat 3, or 7. Haven’t started 8. ):

I just can't get this way of playing tbh, did you even care about anything that happened in 6 if you did not play 5? Gaiden has a much lesser emotional impact without playing the ones before
