Poll Should I get Yakuza Kiwami 2 or Dragon Quest 11? (56 votes)

Yakuza Kiwami 2 46%
Dragon Quest 11 54%

Need advice. I'm not sure which game I should buy. Yakuza Kiwami 2 or Dragon Quest 11? I've play Yakuza 1 in PS 2 and Yakuza 6. I like Yakuza 6 but don't like Yakuza 1. Now Yakuza Kiwami 2 is using Yakuza 6's game engine I get interested in it. At the same time,I'm also interested in getting myself a Dragon Quest 11. I've never play any other Dragon Quest before, part of me wanting to get something new. So for those who have play both of this game before, which should I buy?

Haven't specifically played Kiwami 2, but DQ is really good starting point for someone new to the series.

I have played both, and both are very good. Kiwami 2 has a much better story that Kiwami 1, the big bad is excellent and his interactions with Kiryu are great. That being said the monsters in DQ11 are very cute. I would lean towards Yakuza just for its wackiness.

Kiwami 2 might be my favorite Yakuza game overall, but if you haven't played 0 yet I'd recommend just playing that first. It makes a lot of callbacks to 0, even moreso than Kiwami 1. And it's also one of the best games in the series. Unless you skipped it because you already watched Beast in the East, which is fair.

Similar to Harinho above, if there is no particular hurry then I would wait a week or two. The Playstation Store is adding games to their holiday sale weekly, so you may see one or both pop on sale next Tuesday or the Tuesday after. Not to mention that most stores will have post Christmas sales on the go... especially if you live somewhere that observes Boxing Day.

As for which of the two, I voted DQXI on account of having a soft spot for the series. Nostalgia may have a lot to do with this, but I do tend to find those games a lot of fun.

I borrow Yakuza 0 from my friend. Haven't play it yet. Thinking about playing Yakuza Kiwami 2 after Yakuza 0 but at the same time, I also have interest in Dragon Quest 11 so I'm kinda divided on which I should buy.

Good point but waiting can take forever.

Story is a big draw for Yakuza so you should play those in order starting at 0
