ROFLMAO! And in Yakuza 16, Kiryu is a vengeful ghost!

I'm going back and replaying Yakuza 5 for the first time, and Act 4 feels pretty bad. Shinada's moves are all boring and the reveals about his big game 15 years ago make it feel like the third act to an entirely different game.

Everything about Shinada as a character owns, but he's 0 fun to actually play.

I liked playing him more than Saejima  The whole being in jail and out in the wilderness thing was incredibly boring, and his combat style wasn't really my thing.

Yeah Yakuza 5 is a bit of a mess. Saejima's chapter does indeed kinda suck but thankfully you can blaze through it pretty fast.

Yep. I appreciate that they tried to do more, but it just means the game feels way less focused. I have my problems with 4, but I think it's way more of a solid package all around.

I'm almost done plowing through Majima's cabaret missions because I love management games with active elements. One element about it that I am still uncertain of is what effect it has when you choose the "Give Girl a Reward" option when the customer leaves. It clearly restores more of the girl's HP than the "Praise Girl" option does, but it also flashes the message "Girl's Performance has Improved." The best lead I can find is one guide suggesting that the Reward option will boost the Girl's XP as well as HP, so choosing it will level her up faster, but you can't see XP gains when you are running the cabaret floor. I initially thought that the Reward option would raise a girl's mood, so you could send an overworked girl out to the floor and then increase her mood to happy with trinkets, but I guess that would be pretty broken, and monstrous. I've just been choosing this option by default since I'm flush with yen at this point, but does anybody have more information on what the Reward option does?

I just beat the game, and it was loving amazing. However, I have what is probably the dumbest question for this situation. Are there any tips for combat? I did almost everything on my first run, but as soon as I got to the secret bosses and coliseum, I realized that enemies improved dramatically. Regular goons and even bosses I've defeated no problem mostly because they almost never defended. When it comes to optional encounters, however, I feel like I'm missing something. I don't know whether to dodge, defend or just hit the enemy and if I should stick to some styles in some cases. Majima's Amon in particular wrecked me. I kept chipping away at his health, but as soon as he got to 2nd form, he just killed me. Not that other Amon was better, but there I can probably just see when he dizzies me to dodge his death beam, I guess Also, would you recommend to upgrade the 4th style? I dunno how much boost it gives, but if it boosts attack as much as it does health - and that seems to be literally one pixel - I want to know if I'm wasting money.

At that point in the game you should practically be making GBS threads money so there's no reason NOT to upgrade your fighting style, whether or not you feel like the upgrades are tangible. What else are you gonna do with a billion dollars? As for fighting in general, do a lot of lock on, wait for them to attack, dodge and whiff punish. That is VERY general advice mind you.

Knuc U Kinte posted:Is there some weird tokyo gaijin geography elitism that I'm thankfully unaware of? Not just gaijin only, there are plenty of areas considered uncool or awful to go to. Koenji is just a boring suburban part of the metro area. Considering how many people live around here, there are lots of places that are this. Partially this is because it's on the JR Chuo line, which is one of the most heavily trafficked as well. But even then there are some hipster areas (Kichijoji, Nakano to an extent) near there as well. One thing is for sure: At least it's not in Saitama or Chiba.

Nice restaurants, modest walk from Shinjuku, that one festival... Edit: also koenji has all you can drink pocket circuit so gently caress you haha.

I think I sold my calming towel before I realized its value. Can I get another? The FAQ says it is a substory reward only.

I'm glad the Yakuza series, so far, has only done these free DLC packs. No worries about having to buy a season pass or cut content/story mode DLC bits.

There's a ton of places with Tamiya Mini4-ku circuits throughout Japan: http://mini4wd.rccar-navi.com/ Turns out there's a fair number of watering holes, too, for the nostalgic.

Since it seems like we're talking about travel now, do you all have any advice for visiting Japan for relatively cheap (as far as international travel goes)? My girlfriend and I would like to go at some point.

My girlfriend and I would like to go at some point. More like making fun of suburb-rear end Tokyo. There are cheap-ish places to stay that AREN'T capsules, including hostels. There's cheaper food if you know where to look. You can skip the Japan Rail Pass if you're going to stay just in one metro area (ie only around Tokyo/Yokohama). You can skip going to the top of places like Tokyo Skytree (overrated). You can get drunk for cheap, you can avoid taxis, and generally have fun and explore the country and culture without breaking the bank. Relevant to the Yakuza games, I've been to areas seen in multiple games (Kabukicho, Dotonbori, and Nakasu in Fukuoka) and they're generally safe to wander around, especially in the afternoon/evening. Just don't get into conversations with dudes on the street trying to advertise for shops and you'll be fine. Kabukicho is half Chinese tourists by now, and a short walk from Shinjuku, a major destination in Tokyo. Dotonbori is famous for the restaurants and also has some pretty good bars mixed in with the more adult establishments. And, in general, drinking and going out in Japan is a very safe and fun experience. If you have any other questions PM or ask in the Japan local thread, don't want to derail this too long before Kiwami hits in the US.
