I have tried the road shootout on Legend 7 times. I have died to the final boss truck driver with one shot left 7 times.

Just got a PS4 as a gift and have been wanting to get into this series for approximately forever. Kiwami is a good/sensible place to start, right, being that it's actually the first game?

Both games are good natural starting points, 4 because it introduces new characters and has recaps of the earlier titles, and 0 because there's not as much relevant backstory to worry about. Don't bother hunting down the PS2 games (since remakes now exist) or 3 (the only real contribution the story makes to the canon is killing off a minor character from 1 and 2).

Kiwami is better if you've played Zero first and Zero's just a better game overall.

0 has Cabaret Club Czar and is thus automatically better.

Kiwami is a good/sensible place to start, right, being that it's actually the first game? It’s a shorter and lower-scope game than 0. In a lot of ways, 0 has acted like a soft reboot for the series in the West - Kiwami was made taking a lot of what made 0 good into effect (Majima Everywhere), and the recently announced Kiwami 2 is building off of 0 in different ways as well. 0 is also much more modern in its design (except for that whole “saving” thing), Kiwami looks nice and has some fun features and a great translation but it’s still based off of a PS2 game and shows. Start from 0.

If you understand that Kiwami is a top down remake of the first game with a few bits added in to tie in with 0, you will enjoy it and I wouldn’t skip it.

Having learned the Komaki Tiger Drop, the Majima fights are a doddle......if only I can get that last fight with Everyone’s Idol Majima..... It’s tedious but I have come too far to not finish that part of the game

Kiwami is absolutely perfect for what it is; a budget priced full HD 60fps remake of Yakuza 1 with tweaked up combat and bonus side content. It wouldn't be quite as good of an offering if it were a full price game because its combat isn't quite as good as Zero's despite coming after and the rest of the content isn't as good either. 0's probably the best Yakuza game available in the west at this point.

The mere fact Kiwami has the best battle system so far is one of its strongest arguments

Isn't Kiwami just literally the battle system from 0, but with the Dragon style added earlier on? If it's not, then it's in a way that I really just don't notice.

There's a few new moves but it's pretty much unchanged from 0, and dragon was actually in 0 as a hidden unlockable. 0 didn't have boss's regenerating health so I'd say 0's combat was better than Kiwami

I'd argue that the quick style change skills make 0's combat pretty clunky when you get back to it. It's just that good of an addition.tap my mountain posted:There's a few new moves but it's pretty much unchanged from 0, and dragon was actually in 0 as a hidden unlockable. C'mon, the kiwami moves is what makes Kiwami's bosses piss easy, saving heat for when they'll use their predictable regen ain't hard, don't try to argue that's a bad point Ledgy fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Oct 13, 2017 |

Do something specific or the boss gets a bunch of health has always and continues to be a lovely mechanic. The Dragon of Dojima unlock for it being one of the last things you get was inexcusable too.

So I'm just moving through Yakuza 0 now, and I just got to the opening cutscene on Majima's story. Can't remember a cutscene that lasts as long, but I especially can't remember one that was as effective. Easily the most terrifying that Majima has ever been.

I gotta say, starting Yakuza 3 right after Kiwami and having majima as the first boss made me laugh more than it should haveSakurazuka posted:Do something specific or the boss gets a bunch of health has always and continues to be a lovely mechanic. The Dragon of Dojima unlock for it being one of the last things you get was inexcusable too. using any heat action including inventory or environmental weapon ones isn't really what I'd call specific but sure, you get more than enough time to build the whole heat bar while they're regenerating the dragon kiwami move is basically the sumo slap, acts exactly the same, costs exactly the same, and you get it waaayyy before majima becomes a chore to fight Ledgy fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Oct 14, 2017 |

Koi Koi took me ages to figure out and even then I wasn’t able to get the advanced hands that earn mega points (or if I did it was a fluke). I’m stuck in the Baccarat now.....it’s loving comedy as it’s pure luck and not going my way. I’m having to save scum past as it’s the only game that has no skill attached to it.

Incidentally, for the Koi Koi, look at Settings before to start the game as the card helper or whatever is handy for telling you if you are close to a particular hand. It helped me figure them out much faster

Not a huge fan of Yakuza 3's combat... I feel like enemies block 3/4 of my attacks, and the early family chairman boss took way longer than I'd have liked. I'm playing on hard, is the AI programmed to block more than in normal or something ?

Last time he won the break shot, sunk eight or so balls before he hosed up an easy shot and basically handed the 8-14 to me. All I had to do was pocket the 15, and the game registered me nudging the right stick slightly as a shot so Kiryu took the world's shittiest, tiniest shot and I lost for like the twentieth time. I would kill myself or something, but if you're talking self harm nothing is gonna compare to trying to 100% a Yakuza game.

Just keep at it and memorise the patterns as best as you can. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that you have to wait a few moments after you've made a mistake before the game will accept another input. There's a sequence just before the chorus that I always lost a bunch of points on, because if gently caress up the timing of the first button presses, and couldn't get back on the beat.

I did for Yakuza 3, 4, and Dead Souls (I have the world first Platinum for Yakuza 3) but 5 and Zero broke me. I had to re-learn the physics for stuff like billiards and darts on PS4 because my tricks there didn't work like they did on PS3 and I just lost patience. These games are just too hard to Platinum now for me to care.

I can't imagine how long it would take to platinum 5, I beat the game at 47% completion and that took 70 hours.
