SEGA's Yakuza series thread. Is Haruka gonna have to Komaki Parry a street punk?

There’s a
Brief flashback to seeing Young Kiryu for the first time in that one.

Yeah why was beating her and getting the Boost Gears a way better equipment I needed, to still burn out on the Final rookie track with the Sonic loop that makes sure to put you last. Boosted and was about to win, burnout. 3 Frames sound too similar with corner speed but slowdown/no slowdown. Guess I’ll just copy the color of everyone else on the track, yeah they all run the spiked tires and have lv 3 on, just out the gate way slower than them no matter what Engine/Gears/Battery I setup. Can you get better batteries than the 3?

Free part from the DLC items seems to help, also being a part that wasn’t around in the shop yet to stabilize.

‘Being a man sure is tough these days’ or whatever running to the end with the impossible to determine 2 women in the alley. Go buy your own behind Bacchus porno mag, tell the fatboi to send one to Majima too, use it in combat… not much Heat gained anyway. Ah novelty.

Yeah Im just curious as to why combat is toned down. I can assume the 30fps is there because the game is more seamless and grand. Prob more shit to render. But yeah just hearing about the nerfed combat is heartbreaking lol. Wonder what was going on during development.

Hope when/if we get a Yakuza 7 it wont suffer from this stuff

I booted up Yakuza 3 earlier to give that boss a go that I was having trouble with, beat up some random thugs and found a couple of short side quests before I tried him. Went in with a wooden katana and an extendable staff and ended up beating him first try so now I can finally carry on with the game! Can’t wait to play Yakuza 0 in 2037.

Cheers for the help @WTF-AKUMA-HAX & @Sonicabid

Finished the game.

Spoiler

For the longest time i thought that Yakuza 2 would forever be unmatched. But this game just kicked the ball out the fuggin park.
The story was great and in the end very satisfying. There were a couple of points in the game where i felt like i was gonna cry like a batch
(specific cutscene involving Tachibana and Makoto) swear to everything that is holy…i was real close 2 start weeping.
Also i made the mistake of thinking that Nishiki had lost his marbles but he seems to just have been extremely caring/pure prior to Yak 1 which makes that part that much more sad when you think about it. Overall i really appreciate the time and effort made to flesh out all characters that never got their time in the spotlight in the OG games.
While i had tons of fun with good ol’ brawler Kiryu…Majima stole the spotlight easy. Just much more fun in combat.
Also easy to forget how likeable Majima is sometimes. Grounded Majima > Mad dog Majima , IMO IMO!

I regret removing my FB account where i had Hidenori Shoji added to my friendslist (no joke).
I would congratulate him on making one hell of a fucking soundtrack. I got 3-4 tracks that i’m looping and that pretty much never happens.
REALLY REALLY like the music in this game.

Favorite fightingstyles so far is Thug Majima and Brawler Kiryu.
Also Shibusawa was one difficult sunovabetch. Gives Ryuji a run 4 his money.

I got 32 hours playtime and like 16% overall completion. Was smart enough to start my first playthru on hard.
Gonna dive right into legend in abit.

This game is the best Yakuza game so far and the easiest 10/10 game i’ve ever to rank 10/10.

Fuck this dancing game.

edit: trying to get Isobe, shes hitting 7k scores on easy am barely getting 5k lol.

edit2: beat that bitch. Man I remember the days I could sleep before going to work, oh what a time.

I just started Yakuza 0. It’s fun so far and the story is actually intriguing.

The knowledge you learned there will help you beat Mr. Shakedown when you get to him!

Yes. All of them.

I never liked that move either, where before you can leave it not learned. Or it might use up your DRUNK status on the Heat move from one of the Revelations. I tried to find a use for that here, aiming to knock someone down who has a weapon, before I had any anti-weapon heat moves.

Triangle and Circle of Rush Style both replace that well for something quicker and can be used while running. Yeah I guess with that second thing you might already know about he doesn’t learn to land on his feet after a dropkick until he’s 47 years old in Yakuza 5.

So just never lead with that. Lead with a jab where all the combos really start from.
If you’re at any distance where you might end up running to cover that space, remember you can also

[list]
[]Dash up with X instead or use that dodge anytime during your run []End a run with block, or Grab if you’re feeling risky []Hold R1 for lock on & to walk up[]Use the joystick not fully pressed 100% one direction since he can manually walk too[*]Charge a Hold Triangle attack and wait for them to come up to you [/list]

Edit: only this line, forgot one big one: X then Triangle in any direction is also good practice even before you learn that Dodge Attack for that button combination. Majima backstep sweep kept knocking down (Story Boss) cleanly even max range!

( Don’t remember/know if you can Triangle hold while running-sounds like old Saejima/Akiyama stuff, but did setup something goofy with the Hold Triangle move, not needing it to track-which they can do okay sometimes, over here on the dance floor, gotta make a gif maybe)

10 CP in Shrine
Quick Change Clothes is a Shirt/Armor slot equip. To change between styles even faster then.


LOL Michael J missions, got destroyed worse on the dancefloor going back to see the difference in prizes.

Spoiler

at least on the 2nd one

BIG BLACK BOX or small White Box

Saw both 2nd time around. 1st time around BLACK for a good item since you won’t want to do random fights anymore, like even the gold suit Rich guy doesn’t give anything worthwhile right? Satisfied with that, don’t expect the white box to be a better item.

Yea you also wanna get miracle as soon as you can cause hes really important for real estate lol.

Think I can’t do anymore SubStories and got all the Real Estate people I can

Don’t lose at Outrun guys, 20% swing making you sit thru 20 more Money Battles.

So nerd boy sits at the table thru all those cutscenes as you take the rest out and leave empty chairs lol.

Got a 5 mil score, just too late over in the arcade girl worker’s challenges, 1st one where you only needed 1.5 mil and it doesn’t save the score or let you record it. Have 100% of the 1st area even without the Sushi chef wants you to bring him your fisherman catches to own that store.

Never heard the term “ham cucumber” until this game. :lol:

Working on taking out Media King now. This is great. As I do my computer work I can just collect $$ every few min.

Also anyone max friendship with Mr. Libido in Kamurocho? I been stuck at 80/100 with him

Five knuckle shuffle

Naw still collecting cards lol. I think this is gonna be a case of Premium adventure for this dude, and his pal. Lucky enough I dont think hes important for anything other than 100%.

Like how I am still on chapter 2 and did like 20 or so sidequest already lol. Just beat Mika’s dad and having a brew after having hunted down a nice part for my car in the dream machine.

I’m on chapter 13 and so far I still prefer Yakuza 2 overall.

I’m enjoying the hell out of this game though. I should finish it tonight or tomorrow. :china:

Lol I told this dude Fighter some fruity line and he gave me the creepiest look. Shit was classic.

Na you got waaaaaaays to go if you are on chapter 13 @Sonicabid

Are the subtitles on the small side like text in most modern Ps4 games?
