Started this game today and after doing the opening and having fun running around and doing about 4 substories, I see my overall completion is 0.60%. I'm having a lot of fun so I am glad there will be plenty to do.

Should I pick up Locker Keys as Haruka and not open the lockers? or should I just not pick them up at all?

Did the different character parts of the game in Yak4 and Yak5 have unique directors and share them between games? Because it feels like that, even if I ignore combat differences. I want nothing but Saejima's part finished the hell up, again.

I can't believe some people complain about Saejima's chapters, it's so good with so many ridiculously awesome poo poo lol.

I would be inclined to blame the loc at least partially. It's never been stellar.

I assume they're using either 'otoko no ko' or 'newhalf' neither of which require translating as 'tranny'.

Oh yeah forgot about that one, it's not really, you can use any of them disparagingly in the same way someone could use gay as a perjurative but it's just a description, at least afaik

They also refer to Michiru as "it" in 3, but that entire sidequest chain was weird.

Yeah, it usually is okama IIRC, so it's Sega "untranslated honorifics are important to understanding" localization that's the problem here.

you need to both speak japanese and have the right timing, which is even worse. just find a guide and try it over and over until you squeak by. fortunately, you only have to clear the first round to finish the substory.

After putting the game down for months because Tatsuo sucks so hard I finally powered through his chapter and upon regaining control of Kiryu and Saejima I was relieved to find it wasn't my imagination. He really is incredibly weak and unfun. Seriously why does he do one third as much damage as everyone else?

He really is incredibly weak and unfun. you are always supposed to be using weapons with him. unlike saejima who should be left in heat mode all the time, you should burn tatsuo's gauge on heat moves with weapons at every opportunity. i think his style is very boring, but it works okay. fortunately aside from maybe using some stop sign cheese to raise the level cap you never need to touch weapons with any of the other characters.

I used environment objects and his free unbreakable weapons all the time and while slightly better than his fists they still barely tickle enemies compared to everyone else's bare hands and feet.

His free weapons are incredibly bad - even the upgraded ones - and basically only there to let you grind xp so you can reach the good stuff. (And to break guards, I guess, they're good for that.)

I never really used weapons in Yakuza until his chapter and the ones you can craft are way better than anything you get for free, it's night and day. It's the difference between doing an alright amount of damage and stunlocking most enemies to kill them in a few hits. Once you get a few ranks in your skills they're strong enough to last for ages, and are pretty cheap to repair.

I beat the game. I think I'm no longer physically capable of recognizing the word "dream" but it had the best final boss I can remember in a Yakuza game. Just two dudes beating the poo poo out of each other through an entire mansion. Kiryu feels like a god once you get his improved counter ability. Why yes I would like a full heat bar every time anyone tries to attack me.  I cheesed Tatsuo's final fight with a firework launcher + frost hammer and avoided playing him at all other times. It was pretty funny repeatedly sending Baba exploding into the air like Team Rocket after Tatsuo decides to beat him up for no real reason. No wonder he wanted to kill himself. The big fat minion is probably the worst Yakuza boss I can recall thanks to his "you pushed more than two buttons next to me in a row, I get to stun you now" counter. EDIT: I tried the double Komaki fight once. Yeah, no way in hell.  I am pretty annoyed you couldn't max out everyone by doing all the side missions, I remember it being pretty easy to buy everything worth buying in 4. Do they really expect you to grind the VR game thing for soul points if you want every skill? Sindai fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Aug 8, 2016 |

if you can't do the komakis normally, just use stop signs.

I mean considering postwar Japanese history it's kind of inevitable, but 0 was kind of sympathetic to Chinese immigrants I guess. Sakurazuka posted:Oh yeah forgot about that one, it's not really, you can use any of them disparagingly in the same way someone could use gay as a perjurative but it's just a description, at least afaik Okama is definitely an offensive term so I think "tranny" or "fag" is probably appropriate as a translation. According to the WP page I just pulled up it started as offensive slang for the anus and by extension homosexual sex. There's also some text there about groups trying to "reclaim" the word, but I think it's safe to say that is not what is going on in this context.

So, the end of Tanimura's chapter into the start of Kiryu's might be the longest period of sustained intense manliness I've experienced. Brotherhood, fathers, brotherhood, fathers, JUSTICE etc. All we're missing is Saejima talking about honor and you'd be checking every box. Also, rubber bullets is dumb but the fact that it is immediately followed by an extended cutscene of Munakata tearing into Sugiuchi about just how loving obviously stupid their entire plan is almost makes up for it.

I liked yakuza 3 but the chase scenes after you move to the new city, made me stop playing. I got 4 free on psn I think? Then this month I got 5 free on psn? Which is better? I will only play one of the two since I am now an old.

HGH posted:The revolving door of prison never stops does it? He had to spend three years for his interference with Tojo affairs despite being a "civilian". Remember the incident in Nagasugai? And i think it will be because of Haruka being the only moral link Kazuma has left. They hope for him to stick to being a Yakuza and stop letting things like morality and honor get in the way. Sorta like if Nishikiyama or Sohei took over instead of Sera and Terada because lets be honest. Despite Daigo's dickery, he didnt activrly call for the deaths of people and told people that Kamurocho's Tojo are the boss amd everyone will bend or be broken. Kiryu needs to take up the mantle formally and not be an interim chairman
