It's a shame they couldn't reuse the old Mark Hamill dub

I'd be alright if a new Yakuza game just had a pandering American character named Marty Hamilton that was modeled after and performed by Mark Hamill.

Hamilton is a surviving member of Black Monday who left the country to try and rebuild the organization before challenging Kiryu, so he would not throw away his...shot. Content: I would kinda like to see Black Monday come back in some form, maybe as a subplot in the online game. It's not like the franchise's US fan base would really care about the unsubtle ultra-nationalism associated with that particular plot thread, and I really enjoyed the Wesker-wannabe from 3.

Doesn't Nioh do this, basically treating English like the alien languages from Star Wars? Captain Walker fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Aug 29, 2017 |

Kiwami is cool but drat I'll be glad when 6 comes out and looks better than an upscaled PS3 game.

I just want this game so much. If it doesn't get a localization, I think I've found the first thing I'm going to go the distance to import.

I bought Kenzan years ago thoroughly intending to play it but it turns out I'm really bad at playing games I don't understand.

Ok, how do I trigger Ultimate or Climax or whatever the hell Heat Actions. I'm on chapter 3, fighting the bald guy at the funeral and when he goes into recovery I can't trigger it. I have purchased the first Heat bar and I'm matching the aura colour, which I assume is the right stance to pick.

Gotta unlock the actions as well, they're the three ones under that climax bar upgrade. I'm pretty sure the tutorial for climax heat actions occurs just before you lose all of your abilities so it's confusing.

It's really confusing. The tutorial should really mention that they'll need unlocked, since I'm pretty sure it's the only time they can be used before you lose everything.

Thanks, found the abilities. More importantly, Kiryu still falls for every scam under the sun

So far the substories feel a bit lackluster. They've all just been fight->done with not a great deal of amusing talky stuff, but then I'm super early on so who knows. I get the vague feeling that for $30 this is basically a holdover title until Y6 comes along but, whatever, still fun and I never actually played Y1 directly.

It's still a remake of a ten year old game. I think if I come away from it feeling lackluster, I'll finish up and do the sidestories I missed in Zero.

Played a few minutes of Kiwami, I can already feel the game is very PS2 and won't be as awesome as 0 from the few heat moves I could perform, but man it's good to be back in Kamurocho. Went straight to the Tachibana estate and couldn't get into my comfy real estate lair, so sad. I'm sure I'll love the poo poo out of it, but maybe I'd recommand to play this one before 0 since it seems so far (I'm like 10min in) a step back from 0. I'm here for the story and the feels anyway, and I believe it will deliver.

Dang I wish there was a handy guide like the Yakuza 0 guide for the sub stories, all the ones online feel a bit more awkward because as far as I can tell they don't list them by chapter.

Seems like it to me, I've been burning through the healing items at a rate. Bald funeral boss who's name I can't remember took way too many hits to put down on Normal.

I dont think you can get enough xp before that point to afford both the climax heat action and the dodge during attacks ability, and it seems like that boss requires both

I actually found Shimano to be super easy once I figured out the trick is to either use Rush and clown on him for an hour, or use Beast and clown on him for 5 minutes. He telegraphs all his attacks and has such long recovery that once I figured out his patterns I stopped taking hits period. e: oh and also figuring out that locking on to powerful enemies helps them more than you, don't use lock-on to fight him at all

Hey. Hey Kiwami. I love you, you're great, etc. But hey, if i skip the cutscene, please actually skip the cutscene. Dont make it nine cutscenes that i have to skip separately. Thats bad.

Kiwami is absolutely 100% a filler title between 0 and 6

I jumped into the series with 0 after failing to make it very far in 3. Waiting for Kiwami to arrive, but should I just play the story missions and not bother with the sidequests then? Or are there any that are highly recommended?

POOL IS CLOSED posted:The MesuKing substory is weirding me out. It's good that they added actual gameplay to their tittywrestling sub-game. It's shame that the progression is locked behind finding more cards before you can fight next opponent. Let me beat that smug Professor Tittywrestling, I don't need more cards for that.

Then complete side quests in premium adventure where you can control day/evening/night. Some quests require Haruka be with you which you can choose in premium adventure

Yeah the whole thing is like when a TV shows writers realise that one of the side characters is super popular and shove them in everything until you start hating them.
