What device are you using to play those games on PlayStation Now? I’m on a PS4 can’t cannot get them (Could it be because I’m in the EU?)

Yeah they aren't on the EU PS Now which is pretty poo poo.

People in Onomichi want convenience store food for substories but there are no convenience stores in this stupid town, so I'm gonna have to stuff a bunch of sushi and bento boxes in my pockets and walk around with them for a couple of days before I come back.

Mmm-mmm, artisianly aged sushi.

This quest drove me crazy, because the guy asks for a pork bento, but what he wants is a tonkatsu bento, and I completely blanked on tonkatsu being pork. I only found it by going on a circuit of Kamurocho and buying every single food item in case some idiot wants something stupid. No, it's just the two idiots.

If it makes you feel better I still didn't actually give him that drat bento until nearly the end of the game because I would keep forgetting to dig up exactly which conbini I could actually buy that specific bento at :toot:

I'm at the final chapter of Kiwami where you are able to clean up the rest of the substories before the final stretch. I have been totally ignoring the Majima Everywhere....can I still complete the Dragon fighting style at this point or were some of the Majima fights time sensitive to particular chapters?

The only thing time-sensitive about Majima Everywhere is more how often you were allowed to progress.

Chapter 2 stops you before Rank G To Rank F Majima, Chapter 4 stops you before Rank C To Rank B Majima, and Chapter 8 stops you before Rank B to Rank A Majima.

Chapter 10 (if I'm reading the only guide on Kiwami right) is the point you can just grind all of Majima (and Komaki, don't forget Komaki Tiger Drop please).

Oh yeah Komaki! I'm sure I still have access to him. Might as well grind it out to get another week out of the game before I finish. Closes the gap until I get 6.

I took Majima Everywhere from rank B to SSS and maxed out Dragon style in an afternoon, it's daunting to look at and some of the "has to be this specific Majima spawned" ones were kind of frustrating but ultimately pretty straightforward.

Honestly, I know it's a game, but that minigame made me feel pretty uncomfortable. It's too real and too awkward.

e: I've just learned that the localisation for Kiwami 2 will have the original licensed music. I think this is a first since the PS2 games, right?

They sneaked For Faith into US Yakuza 4 during the game installation. But I think that may have been some weird oversight because IIRC it was said officially the game wouldn't have the licensed stuff and the in-game intro just uses one of the generic tracks like US 3 and 5.

Batting centre substory challenge is bullshit.

It wants 5 HRs in a row out of 10 balls. So I can do 8 HRs in the set but if 5 of them aren't all in a row no dice! :suicide:

There's actually a very consistent pattern to them. Remember how the first 5 move and then just keep the reticle on the square you're expecting.

History Comes Inside!
Nov 20, 2004




Oh yeah I can hit every single one of them for a home run, just not consistently 5 in a row because that would be too easy. I just knock out varying combinations of 4 in a row throughout the sequence.

It's a pretty poo poo way to set the challenge up because if you blow anything after the 5th pitch you can't make it anyway.

By the way, I just want to mention that Tachibana is a really great character and I was super bummed when he died. Before getting to see his sister even :(. I'm playing Kiwami now, and I hope that the remake threw in some mention of Tachibana, because it's pretty implausible that Kiryu would just forget about someone who had such an important role in his first big "adventure."

It just occurred to me that I have a bottle of Yamazaki that I bought years ago because I drank it in Yakuza. That's what I'll drink in mine.

Also, I've literally never been more excited for a special edition for a game.

Good ol’ Yakuza. Encouraging drinking Japanese whiskey with on-brand ice glasses.

I wish Yamazaki wasnt so expensive these days, I remember buying a 12yr for like $45 years ago. It is so loving good with Coke.

The cheaper Toki line is pretty decent but it has a bit of the peat that the Hakushu has, which I'm not a huge fan of. The GF loves it tho so I always have a couple bottles around.

Havent tried any of the non-Suntory whiskeys but I really should one of these days.

I never had a Hibiki I didn't like, but Yamazaki excellent also if you can't find the former (the 12/17/etc. Hibiki will be sold out pretty often at a lot of places because it owns). If you want to go cheaper the ones that just have the Suntory label on them are good too. Basically nothing on this page is bad but get something a lot cheaper if you're not sure what you'd like:

I'm 3 years sober so I'll probably just put Diet Coke in mine :unsmith:

Just hit the start of chapter 12, I can't decide if I want to take my foot off the gas and wrap up as much as possible or if I want to just burn through the story to finish it up and save all the side content for a second play-through when my physical copy arrives.

Or just do it all in both play-throughs, that's always a third option. I've already done a fair number of substories/troublr missions so it's not like I'm saving myself a huge amount of content. Maybe if I'm really lucky the save will be compatible, although I'm not holding my breath since it didn't pick up the save from the EU demo.

IIRC the reason for the delay was "issues with the special edition" so I'm assuming they already had a batch that was cracked right out of wherever they were packed and we'll hopefully be okay.

I think I bought my bottle of 12 year for 60 maybe 3 years ago, and now it's 85. The closest stores to me that carry it now are 45 minute drives or more, and the only store in the state that apparently carries Hibiki is on the other side of it, so good thing I still have my stuff.

I was really nervous about playing Kiwami after all I had heard about it, but I've been enjoying it! Yakuza still rules. I hope Kiryu and his boyfriend Nishiki can make up after all this. It's def still a remake of a PS2 game but maybe I'm just simpleminded as I'll never not enjoy bouncing couches off a dude's head and dropping kicking fools.

I'm still a bit burnt out from doing all of the Real Estate/Cabaret stuff and over half of the substories from 0 last summer, is there anything in Kiwami that's that level of importance? If someone told me they beat 0 without really touching Real Estate/Cabaret, I'd feel they missed a large chunk of content. I'm still doing substories as I run into them and engaging with Majima Everywhere as they happen, but I'm kinda looking to mainline this one a bit more.
