i upload at very high quality but it still takes me 20+ minutes to upload a five minute video to youtube from my pc. i think at&t hates youtube because my connection to it is too lovely to even stream from it at decent quality.

also the inability to delete notifications is still bizarre. back when the witcher 3 came out for some reason it failed to upload a bunch of my saves and the game was continuously trying to upload a rolling set of auto saves for like 20 hours, i cant remember how many failed upload notifications i had to delete it was a nightmare

There are a number of differences between DS and Yakuza, and a big one is no real lockon. Another is that some attacks seem to have a random chance of success.

I'm asking what I need to do to get good, because mostly I'm getting punched in the back if the head. Not a problem that exists in Dark Souls.

Edit: I have Hulu data, something I have no idea why I needs to try to upload, that it's failed to upload ever day for almost a year. I had to delete failed Hulu uploads through nlast September before I could upload a YouTube video.

Even though that makes no sense.

In DS, if you are locked on, you will always be facing your enemy. If you got hit in the back, you didn't lock on.

I do not know what you're talking about.

Do you have an example?

The closest example I can think of is Lower Undaad Burge, heading towards the Depths, but it's like, super telegraphed...

Regardless, I was talking.about the ability of enemies you are fighting toe-to-toe to just move behind you and stun you from behind. Not remotely a thing in DS...

Holding R1 locks on to an enemy, but you usually don't want to do that if you're fighting a large group since you'll want to be able to send attacks in any direction. Kiryu's Thug style has either a builtin or early-unlockable counterattack ability that's great for responding to potshots. Avoid getting surrounded by dodging and running when necessary, but IMO the best way to not be surrounded is to knock enemies flat with a combo's finishing attack. Basically just do light attack combos and punctuate them with the occasional strong attack when you have two or more guys in front of you or you need cut off an enemy's attack windup. That'll keep the pressure off and let you build up some heat which will give you momentum in the fight. Once you get a sense of the basic rhythm you should start doing heat attacks, using grabs, picking up weapons, and trying other styles. Not sure what attacks have a random chance of success, I've been playing for hours and it all feels pretty deterministic.

Locking on does not keep you facing towards them when they dodge though, which makes it almost pointless...

Yeah, beast is really good for any situation where there are lots of weapons of opportunity.

Ok then either duel them in the matching move set or bash them to bits using the other two

Take me to your Shida

With the "Spend 100 get 15" deal coming up I have a couple questions.

1: If I add money to my PSN wallet before the sale starts but spend it during the sale will it still count towards the 100?

2: Do things like renewing PS+ or my PS Vue subscription count towards the $100? I think my PS+ is up next month and my Vue sub will renew during the sale so...

1) Yes

2) It counts but only if you buy it in the store rather than using a card (as least for PS+, not sure about Vue)

I get two e-mails a month for my vue sub (one saying funds have been added to my wallet and one confirming the payment) so I assume it's spending from the wallet. Thanks for the info!
