I mean, I'll probably finish real estate and club management before the story ends anyways but drat, I have like 34 hours in this game already and I'm not even halfway through :psyduck:

90% completion + climax battles + loving around in NG+ = 139 hours. Even if I take like 10-20 hours off for my habit of leaving the game running while I do other stuff.

...

NG+ question - you still have all the skills you've unlocked, even if some of them are visually "locked" before you complete the business storyline, right?

Real estate business... I'm getting started in Leisure district and man, investing in properties seems to have low ROI. I spend 2.2m and the expected take increases by 10% of that, at best. Is there a good way to do this? How do I get rich quick in real estate?

Later areas have higher returns. S-ranking all fifty properties leaves you with total payouts of about a billion & a half yen, not including any manager modifiers.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

Can't you just bring over a maxed out Kiryu/Majima into NG+ for Legend Difficulty?

Or at the very least unlocked their respective 4th styles.

you can't NG+ legend in 0 (but you can in kiwami, which is weird) that said, legend is fairly easy enough anyway if you've already been through the game once.

Yup. Just spammed that poo poo through most of the boss rush. They had basically zero counters.
Beast mode is even worse. Particularly those poor bosses that are in rooms with furniture. Even the basic X-X-X-Y just wrecks. Particularly poor Kashiwagi, because the Y is generally considered to be a counter to his flailing.

What I can't figure out is anything worthwhile about Rush.

Rush took a while to grow on me but it's awesome. I think there are a couple bosses with the beast mode style omnidirectional gaurding but most of the time you can just quickstep behind guarding enemies and full combo them-- your hits are doing less damage than in the other styles but since you're almost never getting blocked it feels awesome. Also you can tap L1 with the right timing to just duck attacks instead of blocking them which conserves Heat and lets you avoid some unbkockable attacks. The finishers all kind of suck though and I'll usually switch to another style to spend all the heat I generate in Rush style

Various properties have lovely returns, but some places have staggering returns. I think you can get like 19mn per cycle from each S-ranked pachinko parlors in the Leisure King area.

Just started Kiwami2, got to Sotenburi and oh my god the toylet minigame, I can't believe they put a peeing minigame in this, they are crazy. There's even a device that tell you when your bladder is full, I bet there even is a trophy for doing related stuff. Was it even in OG Yakuza 2 ?
The Yakuza series never fails to surprise me, feels good.
If anyone wondering, talk to the megane-kun right on the left of the entrance to the Sega Club when you start chapter 2.

You only have to do it once and if you fail you can solve it with your fists easily. They make the percentage loss for each mini-game battle with them seem like a huge deal but you'll more than make it back just by doing even like one more cycle of the upgrading your properties.


However if you didn't unlock Super Hang-On yet, it's worth playing Outrun in the arcade with Luka in it to max out her friendship and, more importantly, unlock Super Hang-On which is like Outrun but way better in every way. You only have to get 3,000,000 points to do it and it's actually really easy because all you have to do is never brake. Just let go of the gas for a bit instead. If you do that and avoid straight up crashing you'll make it.

the trick to enjoying Yakuza is don't do more than you want, 100%ing these games is a fool's errand

finally got off my rear end and started playing Kiwami, I never played yakuza 1 so the plot is more fresh to me(though I know the basic beats)

pretty good though it does show it's age in some places, especially the super-simple substories which are disappointing after 0's A+ ones. the new ones that are there are good though(like the return of Pocket Circuit). Mesuking's storyline is also fun despite how much the game itself sucks, Anything that involves Kiryu getting way too invested in a children's game is a good time.

does anyone have any solid tips for fighting Bat Majima though, he is a bastard and I can't figure out how to take him down besides damage-racing him with Beast

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


Majima becomes easy when you realize just go rush and dodge behind him and do the simple combos.

Switch to the needed style to counter his regen. Go back to rush.

Seriously just get good at dodging to majimas back and hitting him from there.

just back off and let him do his combo and then go in afterwards-- get behind him with rush so you don't need to bother breaking his guard. and, as you probably know from abusing it during Yakuza 0, just stay the gently caress away from the nunchuck attack lol

Wait holy gently caress does the color an enemy glows when they enter regen state tell you what style to counter it with? I had no idea why it was sometimes working and sometimes not. If there was a tooltip I skipped through it lol

whenever I do that he just super armors my hits, turns around and beats the crap out of me which is why i'm having trouble

e: also if he so much as touches you he just starts combing you for 5 years which is why I just Beast tank him now because fighting him in rush is super annoying

To be more clear, you need to buy the Kiwami finisher for each style before you can counter their regen phase in the intended way.

Or just do literally any heat move since there are bosses *cough Shimano cough* you have to fight at a point where there's no way for you to have the appropriate Kiwami finisher.

Keep a shitload of tauriner drinks and knives on you at all times, or just play on easy until you get more comfortable. Godspeed.
