It bothers me that this game series became popular, I liked when it was more niche because it made me seem better then other people when I would play these underground gems and no one else did. But now everyone fucking likes these games and it's made me lose all interest in the series despite supporting them since the PS2 says

Yakuza 8 flopped in the West

>sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan. Sales in (the rest of) Asia are also quite strong, but the momentum in Japan is even greater than in the past.”

Don't worry anon you can still be a cool contrarian if you put 3/4 on a pedestal and go on an autism crusade against anything made after 0.

>>712912439 (OP)
Hardly anyone who likes the games has actually played them, and in the rare instance where they have they've probably only played Yakuza 0.

>>712912439 (OP)
you started with 0 like everyone else, so shut your mouth

I only ever played 1 and 2 with the english dubs and I have no interested in the sequels
even the dubs they slapped on to the newer ones are trash in comparison

>>712914314
erm... yakuza 2 does not have a english dub you stupid nigger. never post in my thread again, okay?

>>712912439 (OP)
I greatly enjoy your retarded, self-imposed suffering.

Things becoming more popular IS bad though

>>712912439 (OP)
You're a 0fag, die.

>>712916674
NTA but what exactly is wrong with having been introduced to the series with 0?

>this game series became popular
>now everyone fucking likes these games
I never see anyone talk about this game series unless it's in my friend group. I even get to still play through infinite wealth completely blind, and it's great.
I'd also argue that there are less people interested in it now compared to when it was the "meme-flavor-series-of-the-year" a couple years ago.
The only time I recommended Yakuza 0 to someone, they were filtered by the fact that there was no dub. Since then, I never recommended this series again.
The turn-based aspect of the new games is also a filter.

Hypocrites here will mock you, pretend to disagree and call you names. They all feel the exact same way deep down.

become a fan of point and click adventure games, you won't have this problem.

Feels good having my favorite series untouched by normans. It will stay this way forever.

Yes most people aren't pedophiles

We had a good run.
0-6(no not you kiwami or k2) were pretty good

You're miserable, man. I know this is /v/ and that this type of thread is common, but you should remember that.
