Is this true?

no
it's actually one of the worst entry points what the fuck

lost in translation maybe?

>the worst selling is actually the best starting point
objectively wrong since it is also entirely Kiryu story and if you haven't played the other games you're not going to know who the fuck anybody is or feel any weight in the story. 0, 1, Judgement, or Like a Dragon are the best options for a first game since they are actual starting points.

they are always legally obligated to say every game is the perfect jumping-on point
if fucking yakuza 5 or 6 released today they'd call it the perfect jumping on point
they're literally not allowed to say "no, you should wait to play this until you've played the previous games first"

>The latest RGG game is the best entry point lmao
Must be an internal meme at this point.

Niggas will never cope wity the fact that yes, you will indeed need to consume ONE THOUSAND HOURS of vidya to understand Yakuza. You can cope or eat a dick, but you still need to play them all.

I'd say you can skip it outright and lose nothing. But I have kiryu fatigue anyway and at this point everything we don't know about him is a plus.

>uwooo noooo you can't start with the prequel!!!!!!!

>>713268912 (OP)
xqc told me this game is fire, so imma buy it lol

>gaiden is about kiryu and hanawa being more than just handler and agent, and essentially being true friends
>hanawa dies in IW and kiryu doesn't give a single fuck
yeah maybe writing gaiden after IW was finished was a bad idea

also, my favorite e-celebs are featured in this game, so imma buy it too haha :)

>>713269808
Nta. I would suggest nobody to start with 0 because most of the charme of the game comes from the memberberries you'd only get when playing everything till 6. If you aren't invested in the series already 0 is a lackluster game.

What the fuck happened to this series...

No
That's a blatant lie for more sales.
Weakest Yakuza

Always start with the first, no exception

>>713269448
It's why FF was smarter with the whole one story thing.
Somnium sequel ruined Date character by trying to appeal both newfags and oldfags ruining the character

>>713270240
It was always a joke but just got more obvious about it as time went on.

>>713269448
yakuza 5 is the best jumping on point though
