I don't think anyone here is in danger of ditching their life to become a yakuza or misguidedly supporting yakuza efforts so maybe we can go back to talking about this sweet-rear end video game I'm playing idk

e: oh no new page!

Majima Plays Recettear is strangely addictive even though I know I'm never gonna use like 99% of these weapons because Yakuza games have beaten it into me that only scumbags fight with anything besides their fists/feet (I'm treating Majima's Bat as an extension of his arms in this case)

e: I actually have worked for former(?) Yakuza people, AMA (but not in the thread proper)

I like the kind way that Majima and the hostess look at each other when he gives her a napkin or whatever.

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. :swoon:

Yeah I just bowled a 300 thanks to that second video.

So ummm how do I transfer stuff between guys in premium adventure?

Starring old man Kazama and so on from the previous generation? That would be pretty awesome.

One problem I can forsee is that Kazama and others from that time apparently were just straight up hitmen, and that doesn't fit the theme of the series so far.

You know what would be cool is if the game had an iPhone/Droid companion like GTA5 and Assassins Creed and so forth had. Both businesses and the weapon agent system would be perfect for that, and you could tie it to your psn and get your money in the real game.

Half the time there's smartphone apps everyone hates that there's one at all, the other half everyone demands them. Never understand, really.

Either way that wouldn't feel very 80s at all so meh.

Don't let your health dip below 3/4 for long and absolutely do not stay on the ground / let yourself get stomped. The end.

I think at 'higher levels' he also gets a oneshot - when he's in red heat and shakes himself up before a charge, that's a grab and you absolutely want to avoid it.

The whole cutscene is the slickest loving thing. "You keep concentrating on the customer and keep the customer's attention on you, but we're both gonna take a half-second glimpse to show we know what's up and you're cleaning out his pockets :thumbsup: "

I'm actually not sure what the max level is but Yuki's 35 and still climbing, so...

e: Also it took me a while to realize you can reassign people who've already sat down with a customer, so that can really help once you start getting people asking after specific girls. Also, a useful tip for the club battles: I'm pretty sure that anyone in Party Time is immune to the opponent's debuff effects, so spam that poo poo as soon as you can.

The game had a companion app for Vita in Japan where you could do coloseum fights and play super monkey ball.

It's definitely 40.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
Goddamnit Kiryu, get your mind out of the loving gutter for once. She's ten years old and certainly does not mean it in the way you think she means it.

Also stop flying off the track while you're at it.

So nice little bonus when the PS4 4.50 FW is out officially and you have a Pro, Boost Mode gives more consistent 60fps performance in the heavy areas of Kamurocho that tend to get a little framey.

Majima smashes the cue ball at 100% power, completely accidentally sinks the 9.

At least he didn't teach her the way he teaches Kiryu things, by stabbing him over and over again.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Stoic stiff face reactions is great, too. Though it seems like both Majima and Kiryu suffer from the same obliviousness when it comes to women in this game.

A weapons shop opens up for him in chapter 6, I believe.
