First 2-3 hours. They fixed all the pacing problems of the last time anybody saw the games. Good shit. Gripping story. New cutscene look reminds of the ones on PSP being outright graphic novel manga panels.
Spoiler
HQ fight to finally stop that guy from trying to chase you
Ending in a dropkick, so sick
You thought the zombie game was the one where you get easy money! Glad I came into this one not knowing anything about it. I guess I got spoiled by reading the gameshow demo of the dominatrix substory when looking for news once, but they might have changed the words to clean it up more lol
Donât Forget about L1 bob and weave instead of just side/back dash with that parking lot 1 minute training. It didnât work on Mr Shakedown though. Seems he does BEAST mode style, and that guard run you can learn even hits you when he does it.
Thought I was gonna get pinched by the cop stop search since I was holding the gun from the shrine Bob free items. Guess I could show it to him next time/reload save and see it. Lotto machine gave me a Fighter Binding, on the 3rd try of those.
I got there pretty quick and didnât mess around for 20 hours like Kiryu town in Yakuza 5.
Thought I lost 2 hours of stuff when my game crashed in that hard to get to casino, PS4 random any game crashes, but skipping the story and boring Be a Fake boyfriend mission it was only 30 minutes to get back to where I was. Only mad because I beat Mongolian Guile first try, but still did it again without leveling up health or Attack power since I was hurrying and forgot to cash that in. Turned away from a story map point too as I saw him lurking, when I didnât have Bat Fighting though since that makes it easier.
Oh and they also fixed running into people on the street, which was a problem in 5 but oddly was never a problem before. Move everyone out of the way, more than one person at once, or theyâll even jump out of your way. Goon fights will stop you dead if they see you and youâre in mid sprint though. Like going in the same direction, you didnât see them, they were even back turned, just a weird hitbox then.
Half dozen Kiryu missions I did gave good equipment. Not the same so far for Majima, because he has that expensive fetching thing. Got the Rarest Return Result for a trophy, only 0.5% people have right now, but it wasnât the rare item that said he would get if âLUCKYâ just standard weapons.
Im so hyped man. A friend of mine barely got to play Yakuza 1 back in the day so i guess 0 is his real first dive into the series. Hes loving it
Me and him been sharing gameplay clips and etc and now 2 others homies gonna cop. So hyped for them to enjoy.
Also some very cool Yakuza 2 foreshadowingâŚ
Spoiler
Theres a sidequest about a bully, when you go fight him, that nigga is a teenage Ryuji Goda. Cool seeing him in his younger days. Based off dialog he seemed to be a delinquent who also cared for people. But at the end of the sidequest Majima even says he think their paths will cross again someday haha
Main Story Character from Yakuza 2/Dead Souls spinoff
Spoiler
Ryuji Goda in the 6th grade, already as big as he was
Stealing the pants off the high school bullies to leave them in their underwear.
âHeâs never gonna look right in that tiny backpackâ & âI donât know who he is, some crazy big guy with a kids backpack jumped me, what a headcase!â
Trying to power through the main story to get to the stage where I can run a business and crazy assholes everywhere are jumping at me with side quests. Gotta admit tho the humour is insane. Dude wanted backup to walk over a bridge cause duses beat that ass cause of a jacket lol.
All of the music for Majimas training, different ones for the different guys, is also quite good.
Didnât get any new moves doing the breakdance fights instead of just the training quick 3 to learn fast, like it says it should open up by doing those street performances, but didnât do 2 more left of those right now. Got boring grinding that nonstop for 5 straight, needed to get back to the city. Heat one gave 5,000,000 once though.
Of which you have to share 80% of that with these 3 monkey magic dudes. Who each say âAYOâ differently when you do the heat action, lol
Didnât get that option, Iâll try again when I get home, maybe I need to buy some of those 30M yen abilities. Kiryu too damn expensive lol.
Oh yea wtf Majima fighting styles are well better than Kiyru this time round, in fact it seems Kiryu took a heavy nerf in general. Anybody feeling this?
Did you break all the mannequins in both training courses? And Kiryu does feel less brutal to previous games. Not sure how to explain but it just feels like it.
Kiryu is less refined, shit you can take out a whole encounter with Majima breakdance keeps going rush combos long after you stopped with Square, like 2 Square and flare spin kicking then pose kick some more with all Triangle. Or using the bat as a nunchuck then you can turn and hit the next guy while youâre stuck there in place, I also figured out.
HEAT shows up when you finally get someone stunned with the Kiryu Boxing rush
Always takes out 2 guys minimum, no lining them up needed.
Now if there was only any ways to get more stun, and WTF when they stun after the knockdown but get back up with no dizzy. I thought these guys were based in Fighting Games⌠guess Virtua Fighter, their expertise and series doesnât have that. Couldnât HEAT anybody while wearing Brass Knuckles until they were knocked down ttoo.
Oh okay, I just skipped to the 2nd one with the center gun guy. Didnât do her 1st one on the Pier figured its the same as the demonstration. Gunshots had a graphic update and the enemies seem to use them more, got messed up offscreen in the Main Menu climax fights when 2 dudes offscreen were doing it, but that Cannon actually shot rounds with secondary attack not just swing it around slow and get myself shot for trying.
MR SHAKEDOWN ones there seem impossible!
These all seem to be like that.
Looking at your skill chart, thereâs notes that its gonna be a MASTERY 1,2,3,4,5
(but its harder to see than the âYou need Level 1-2-3 of HEAT to use the moveâ ones, bcuz its just a light 1 thru 5 for these)
But, you probably do have to have that tree started and thus, the one right next to it to get an unlock. Too bad they donât color it too to figure out what it is red/blue/yellow. Looking like Health/passive/ or attack for those on there without the lockbox on it.

Edit: Chinese Restaurant guy for learning weapons just moved open more of the chart, and didnât need all those stipulations so thatâs cool. Kiryu not able to send searches, when I got way more money on him, need to find the money transfer guy now switching back to Majima after leaving him some. You can share items that way also without it being the end of the game/free adventure too.
