Yakuza 3 is pretty laid back. I really like Okinawa as a change of scenery, and it's nice seeing Kiryu try to be a good father figure to all the kids at the orphanage. The minigames all feel really awkward and clunky compared to their Kiwami counterparts, but I figured this would be rough since it's the oldest Yakuza I've played so far.

whatever you do, don't get dismayed by the first boss and his dumb heal skill if you don't have a way to counter it.

it will make sense afterwards.

I waited, oh, 24hrs.

Kiwami is different enough that it feels weird, and changes how I felt about some characters from 0.

That said, the tip about the first boss is on point and the change to Mr shakedown is loving hilarious. Why couldn't I have found this game when it came out

Wait until you play Kiwami 2. The more I think about it, the more I suspect it's my favorite game of all time

Kiwami 2 is so good, I'm thinking of replaying it when I'm done with some of the other stuff I've already sunk my teeth into.

The mahjong completion point in 3 requires you to get 50k points in a single game, and after hours of trying I just got it with exactly 50k. It was nerve-wracking as hell

This makes me excited for 2. I absolutely loved 0, and kiwami is good but no 0.

But the scene in club Asia when majima turns hostess has me loving crying.

The pattern is the same so just write it down. I split the grid up into like a numpad so then it’s just: fast 5, slow 9, mid 6 etc.

in 3 you don't get a crosshair so i balanced a pen against my monitor so the tip was where the crosshair would have been

It is also 10x easier if you use the mouse, although dishonourable

In some of the games there's a little trick where Kiryu tightens his grip on the bat as an indicator that it's the right time to swing.

just did batting cages in LAD last night and thought they'd made it way harder because I could only hit like two home runs no matter what I did

turns out there's a glitch but only if you're playing on PC and in windowed mode. went back to fullscreen and it was like taking off the training weights

I just cannot time the loving thing correctly no matter what. Kiwami is easier than 0 but I still can't get out of the bottom and mid tiers on any of em.

Oh well, darts is still the best.

Now if only I could get not Mr shakedown to pop up more often

I loved that the Judgments kept that but just did “Real detectives use a gamepad” which makes even less sense somehow

Also K2 is probably my favorite but I’m in the middle of Lost Judgment and it’s super sick

Of course when I have to go to the batting cages for something else and I'm just dicking around I pick normal and hit every fuckin ball

E: gently caress me I just figured out what the gently caress to do when they start recharging with a heat glow jfc

Even with all the little tricks like a post-it note the extra hard batting in 3 is killing me. I've gotten 1700 points like 4 times and you need 1800 for the completion point

e: complaining on the internet really does work, got it
