Make sure to do the Survey everyone. It's a button panel right next to the one for Manual under the Start Menu icon. It's short and literally has options to let them know "I bought this game because I love Yakuza and I have bought all of them and will continue to buy all of them". You can write in stuff too like "Gio Corsi marry me".

I love how consistent Kiryu's characterization always is. Rule 1: Never compromise on anything ever. Rule 2: If something interferes with Rule 1, beat it until it stops. So I was like, hmm, a Shogi parlor, I don't remember that, this seems like an interesting game ...

For a sidequest thats all about helping Michael Jackson make not-Thriller they sure made it a real unfun piece of poo poo to play, escort missions are garbage. Game still rules though. I beat Mr. Shakedown and now theres a 2nd one stalking the streets

StarkRavingMad posted:I love how consistent Kiryu's characterization always is. Kiryu really is the best just because of how genuinely hard the writers work to make that stupid, stupid, character feel real. Like, you have normal rear end people, total dirtbags and lawmen alike, saying 'what are you DOING you have to just loving chill' and here's this cartoon man going 'no, a true yakuza never chills' while his loving bosses say "NO WE CHILL A LOT ACTUALLY" desperately behind him, yet somehow it works really well.

Kiryu is great because he has no loving off button for ANYTHING. He takes literally every single thing with the exact same unrelenting sense of seriousness and it becomes fantastic.

Mechafunkzilla posted:Welp I figured it out. I was using an accessory called "Charismatic Autobiography" that gives good good stats but apparently makes enemies like 10x as aggressive. It's definitely not clear that's what it does in the item description. I took it off and I can clear fights without getting hit now Yeah, just checked and I had that equipped. That explains quite a bit. You get it from the Damned Yanki sub story.

Well, I admit I got a few game overs on mooks, and I needed a meal or a healing item after every fight, but I managed to clear chapter 2 with the stupid thing on so I managed. Rush was great for dodging, and like I said Beast style at the right place at the right time can destroy groups in seconds. Regardless, it is a nasty trap.

Digging the game so far, lot of charm, lotta style. I'm still in chapter 1, but I have already brutalized fools with a bicycle and witnessed several scenes of Kiryu's stoic burning manliness. Thumbs up!

hey is there a good spoiler-free guide for missable things by chapter or whatever? I remember there being a couple encounters you didn't want to miss back on whichever of these I last played, Yakuza 2? speaking of which it was weird as some of the buildings started to look familiar since I don't remember anything from the earlier games so far I did like two missions and then wandered around and got in like 35 fights. also pulled a max star thing out of one of them million yen gachas but I dunno what its for. pinewood derby??

Who the hell decided the most natural way to translate Japanese name order in the middle of dialogue is "Last Name, First Name?" The rest of the translation is really good, but when it comes to the name order and leaving in honorifics it seems like they just took the lazy way out. I find it super jarring.

projecthalaxy posted:I love the sub stories in this one. I just helped some kid get his copy of Dragon Quest 3 that his father stole (??) and lifecoached a yankee band on how to be super huge posers. I only have like 4 hours logged but it is already my favorite Yakuza. It has social links. Social Links!  Someone needs to capture the dramatic zoom it does.

For so long in fighting games I've seen attacks that clearly break the opponent's neck but they are ok afterwards, it barely even registers anymore.

What chapter do you get your businesses and is that a good way to make money? Some of these upgrades are getting pretty pricey.

Since Kiryu and Majima never really meet in this game, do we know if there are still any rad team up heat actions and stuff? I just remembered that part in 5 where Shinada and the Ace Pitcher he hit the homerun off of team up to beat up like a hundred dudes, and how hard it ruled.

got this the other day and I'm enjoying it a lot even though I don't normally like the type of game where you are basically just watching a movie for long stretches. but in this case its really good. the voice actors of the older lieutenants like Kuze are especially great I feel like I'd get a lot more out of it if I knew Japanese though! Kind of weird playing an open world game where I have no clue what most of the signs/businesses etc are

A tremendous amount of the disgusting/shady vibe is lost by not being able to read the signage. Like half of the signs in this picture are blatantly sex trade-related. Sheep fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Jan 25, 2017 |

The localisation team deserves an award. There's some liberty taken, but it's all done for the sake of making it lively for a western audience.

Yea I normally don't do these things but not only does Yakuza need its fans to say 'no no we WANT this, this is a GOOD thing you're doing' still, but boy is this localization just a gold standard in itself and totally deserves praise. I made friend with a weird RC racer nerd and then became one myself when I realized car customization was a thing, then I met a dominatrix and helped her be better at her job before impersonating a producer to help a man who's name means butterfly film a food tour show. This is all while having to clear my and my family figure's name for a murder that could ruin our lives forever. You know, Yakuza poo poo. When do things shift to Majima though? I wanna know when I should try to do all the side stuff I can if the game's gonna shift focus.

Since people are talking about it, I noticed this interview with the guy at Atlus who lead the Yakuza 0 localization: http://michibiku.com/interview-localizing-yakuza-scott-strichart/ EDIT: The base translation was done by the same guys as the previous games apparently, then the Atlus guys did a second localization pass on it.
