When does it kick into gear this start is slow as hell

It means to go bowling.
Read the description for the bowling alley.

>Same engine

I don't think so, Zero is a PS3 game and I think the new engine was started for these remakes.

The funeral.

god damnit.

The new engine is in 6, Kiwami 2, and Judgement

It is clearly the same exact engine. It is impossible to get this wrong. I'm sorry but you are beyond retarded.

>PS2 Engine
1, 2
>Old Engine
Kenzan, 3, 4, Dead Souls
>New Engine
5, Ishin, 0, Kiwami, Fist of the North Star
>Dragon Engine
6, Kiwami 2, Judgment, Shin
>PSP engine
Black Panther 1 and 2.

I can get why so many people say kiwami is probably the worst game in the series, it never really kicks into gear.
Around the end of the game i swear it skipped like 2 or 3 chapters, the boat part with Shimano was like chapter 12, then the very next mission is chapter 16 and the end of the game? I don't get it.

>I can get why so many people say kiwami is probably the worst game in the series
That's fucking absurd. The original yakuza is by far the worst no contest.
Kiwami is only slightly worse than 0 imo.

Just think of it as some DLC for 0. It's much shorter, it added some substory as sequels to those from 0 and shows why Nishiki became a dick.
