I usually just try it on non-poors who have the purple happiness and it seems to work like 33% of the time. There doesn't seem to be a downside to trying. Is there a way to rest my hostesses without opening the club without them working?

Ryuga Death posted:For Majima's cabaret club game, when can you use the extend visit option and have the customer accept? Is it when the customer wants a long session? From what I can tell: The wealthier a customer is the more likely they are to accept an extension. Poor will almost never, Mega-Wealthy will all the time. The happier a customer is the more likely they are to accept an extension. Short Sessions seem less likely than Long Sessions but that may just be a coincidence.

No, but once you get Busy Bee Saki you basically have someone who never needs a break and so you can have her and some gold-rank hostesses carry the club while your Platinums recover.

I've long given up on trying to platinum a Yakuza game, there's always poo poo I'm just never going to bother to get any good at (looking at you, Shoji). Believe in yourself. I have them all except for Zero and 5 (which I will go back to at some point after Zero) and I feel like a better person for it.

For anyone who has trouble bowling, this is the best way I've found. Go with the lightest ball, start from the left and just mash X. Power 90+ and no spin will get a Strike 90% of the time. EDIT: Nevermind, this one is better, because the lack of commentary and also the lack of Kiryu's shirt.

Like a guy may get purple happy face if he came in looking to party and you gave him high party skill, but if he also prefers cute and the girl is an X on cute he's less likely to extend, but pretty much always would if she was double circle cute. I'm not sure if that's 100% true but what I've seen anecdotally supports it.

Oh, sorry about that. I was just going off of a sidequest guide that jumped straight from '10' to 'Last Chapter', so I probably should have said 'at least'. My bad!

Finishing it though gives you the last and secret combat style for Kiryu. Majima also has one with his Cabaret Club

Kiryu also has a Mr. Moneybags that does the same. It lets you facilitate trading money between characters and a shared item box. I haven't maxed out either yet because of story reasons so I don't know what they do at max friendship.

What's the max level for the hostesses? Also, one of my bronze hostess seems to do a lot better than some of my gold hostesses in the Jupiter area. Can any hostess upgrade their rank (bronze to silver or whatever) or are they stuck that way forever?

Can anyone tell me how to perform "essence of steadfast counter"? It's one of Kiryu's brawler moves, and the instructions for it say, "[triangle] when Kiryu gets up from the ground". I've never gotten it to work.

Is it a safe bet to hold off on side stuff until I unlock the major money making side activities? I'd also like to ensure both characters have their 3 base styles before i start throwing money at them since I can't really afford to get what I want in any of their trees yet.

I have some silvers that do better than my golds at times, especially if they are really high in one stat. I think their theoretical max will always be lower. Also, no one who isn't platinum outearns Grandma With The Hideous Shirt.

I weirdly love that about these games. for a crime game about awful crimes/drama/violence/perverts/etc. the body count is usually pretty low and most of the time its suicide or a person looking for redemption kills the villain in some suicidal way. i guess its cultural thing. but i like the ludcrious amounts of brutality you can unleash on some random hoodlum(break his face 20 times and stab him with a katana) and he will still get up. i guess kyru and the rest of the protags learned from batman.

Chapter 10 : the visit at Tojo headquarters was really satisfying combat wise : hordes of goons getting wrecked by stone lanterns and dual techs with Oda and Tachibana, neat 2.1% trophy for having 3 of them also I've put off following the story because Kiryu going to Sotenburo seems like madness and it's 3am here. Also the bat tatoo reveal ! At this point I'm not sure Tachibana really Makoto's torturer because the tatoo could be a triad clan thing, but I don't have high hopes for him not being a slave trader rear end in a top hat. This game is fantastic, I just wish Real Estate Simulator 2015 was as good as Kyabakura Manager 2015.

Might as well use this as an opportunity for the hopefully not really necessary PSA: Real-life yakuza organizations are really really bad. Like, maybe arguably not as horrible as some other organized crime groups, but still absolutely reprehensible. Their most well-documented and successful line of work is human slavery and forced prostitution.

I doubt you need a PSA for that in a game which features 90% insane evil Mafia members, 5% insane good Mafia members who are on the outs for the other 90% and 5% okay guys who really are only part of the Mafia because of obligation.

I think this depends on what you mean by romanticising. At least for the Yakuza series it depicts being in as kind of terrible and you're actually not a pet of the organization more than you are.

Yakuza absolutely romanticizes the Manly Men Having Manly Fights and Manly Feelings thing a ton but that seems like a side effect rather than a part of the Yakuza element. It is however fair to say it romanticizes the gently caress out of hostess clubs.

I think the series romanticizes yakuza life the same way you see mobster life in a lot of classic gangster flicks. We get the high points of The Life most of the time and then get hit with the ugly bits in very brief flashes. That flashback in Chapter 3 where Majima got tortured by his old boss and Nishiki's descriptions of seeing torture victims are pretty drat grim, even for what's supposed to be a mostly serious crime drama.

In terms of the degree of romanticization, it's worth bearing the practices of the organizations in mind, not just how individuals are depicted. I say this as a big fan of other elements of the series; it's basically a big PR victory for organized crime in Japan. It's unlikely that many of the gravure models used for the phone card/videos stuff in the series entered that business voluntarily. Yakuza syndicates are a major factor in the meat factory of Japanese idol industry, from child pop singers on through pornography. It's a mechanism for wringing maximum value from women as sex objects.
