As I (Matty) prepare myself for the Yakuza pilgrimage, I needed to know what to expect in such a long, storied franchise. Due to its popularity on Game Pass and the upcoming "Infinite Wealth" entry, now is the best time to inform yourself on burning questions with the biggest one being: Do I have to play all of these games to understand the newest one? Joining me today is Jason Polansky, Producer at Atari, to serve as the ambassador for the Yakuza series! As this was his pitch for the episode idea, I have Jason steer the ship for our conversation much like Ember's Arcade did during the MMO report.

I was a little disappointed to hear Matty may skip Zero and go straight to Gaiden Colon The Man Who Erased His Name if h isn’t feeling 3. To me it is the gold standard of the series. But maybe I’m alone on that. To me it’s like playing Final Fantasy and skipping 7… or playing Fallout and skipping 3.

love this. would love to see more jason next year! and more 3rd party interactions as well bring jaffe on to duke! would love to see more folks come thru to the dukes. im almost done w mainline yakuza games. on yakuza 5, and have been having a great time. played 0, 1 and 2 a few years back and played like a dragon, 3, 4, 5, and judgment this year. excellent games. 3, 4, and 5 get a bad reputation, unfairly so in my opinion. 3, and 4 are quite dated, especially 3. but 4 has an awesome story. hopefully matty gets thru 3 alright because the story really picks up after a few chapters. anyway, enjoy yalls christmas breaks :)
