Sorry but those PS3 games feel kinda useless tbh. Why ddnd't they start this offer of only PS4 games this year? Or at least from January 2019? Why wait till March to start giving only PS4 games? They should have made this offer the moment they increased the price of PS Plus.

God damn it, Sony. Why would you put the Jackbox Party Pack but only for PS3? That's the least useful way to do a Jackbox pack!

......

...that's exactly why they did it that way, isn't it...

PS3 games are quite good for a change and I'm not sure what to think of Roundabout but it definitely looks unique!
Nice to have Kiwami as well for when I get around to playing Yakuza 0!

Good Month. Eager to try out a Yakuza game.

What is this Burly Men at Sea? It looks great.

For newcomers to Yakuza, It's not vital but i'd strongly recommend playing Yakuza 0 first. It's currently on sale for $16 and Kiwami feels more like an expansion pack to 0. It really fleshes out some of the characters you see in Kiwami. Also, Yakuza 0 is one of my top 3 games this generation, it's superb!

But yeah, thrilled hopefully more people take a chance on this series. Kiwami 2 (i enjoyed much more than Kiwami) is one of my favorite games this year (planning on playing the series in order, so i haven't touched 6 but have heard great things about it as well.)

I wished that they would cut the price of that Duke Nukem character DLC to half with the latest add-ons sale. That character DLC costs more than full games whether discounetd right now or in general.

I really enjoyed Roundabout. It's a fun, quirky game. It's like a more humorous version of the movie Drive. I'll take this opportunity to play it again.

So would this be the best place to start the Yakuza games? I know 0 is a prequel but Kiwami is the remake of the first, right?

There are two options :

start with Kiwami, remake of the original first game. It's decent, but even with addons, it feels barebones at times.

Or

jump with 0, the fucking best yakuza ever. Then follow up with Kiwami, the direct sequel and treat it like an expansion to the story of 0. It will feel barebone after the content fest that is 0 but the story will be MUCH better doing 0 then Kiwami.

Or

I think the duo of top games is pretty solid (I'm really excited to get to Kiwami) but I do really hate the trend of PS4 basically only doing ports for this.

- Bulletstorm
- God of War III
- Heavy Rain
- Beyond Two Souls


alone are all just PS3 ports.

Very pleased about Kiwami, I'm almost done with 0 and had a blast. Looking forward to playing them all

I love that a ton of people will be introduced to Yakuza and hopefully this can be a gateway for more people to try Zero.

I hope Kiwami's awful bosses don't frustrate people enough to drive them off the series and dismiss the other, better games.

lol they actually put the PS3 version of Jackbox instead of the PS4 version.

Never played Yakuza, I know 0 is set before Kiwami but is it better to play Kiwami or 0 first? I've heard 0 is better than Kiwami.

Oh, nice. I still have yet to snag Kiwami, wouldn't mind playing Bulletstorm again, and was curious about Burley Men at Sea. Pretty great month for me.

All in for playing Roundabout again, plus I can introduce my girlfriend to it.

Plus Yakuza and Bulletstorm too, I guess.

It's easier going from Kiwami to Y0 as the latter is an improvement on almost every single aspect of the game. Story wise tho, it would be better to go first with Yakuza 0.
