I don't want to say it was outright bad but

that Majima story was kinda bad. Only part I really liked was seeing Makoto again.
I just really didn't like his combat and it felt like there was very little effort put into it. Mad Dog style is fun in concept but just ugh. Missing half my combos because Majima flips halfway across the screen sucks.

The Majima stuff is shoehorned into Kiwami 2 due to how much people loved playing as him in 0. It probably serves to replace the section of the original 2 that took place in the second district of Osaka that they cut out of K2. Not having played K2 yet, that’s my speculation, anyway.

Is there a list of Street Bosses?

Last ones I fought were
Kamurocho: Guy with God as his title.
Sotenbori: Some Gold Samurai guy

Wondering how many are left so I can get that done with

It's me, I'm the idiot who liked Yakuza 0 so much I dropped like 400$ on a Ps4 to play Kiwami 1 and 2 before the PC release.

To be fair though, I wanted an excuse to get a console, it's just there wasn't a game series so good that justified me getting one until now.

They haven’t announced them so we don’t know, but I’m assuming just upscales/shaders

They’re PS3 games so the graphics wouldn’t be egregious to play on a PS4 the way Yakuza 1 and 2 would have been

Edit: oh yeah forgot Y3 came out on PS4 in Japan last month and it was a simple upscale, so probably that

They're just the PS3 games at 1080p 60fps and quicker loading. Yakuza 3 will probably have all the cut for the west content restored as well (if it comes out here).

Yakuza 1 is a bit rough, but 2 looks really good for a PS2 game. It would hold up quite well as a PS4 remaster with a few tweaks to the models and textures, FFXII: Zodiac Age style.

Of course, now that we have Kiwami 1 and 2 there's approximately a 0% chance of a Ryu ga Gotoku 1 & 2 HD port to the PS4 because nobody would buy it, but I would still love to see that.

I tried to go back and play Yakuza 4 on PS3 and it just ain't happening. 720p, blurry and jaggy as all get out, 30 fps. I'm jonesing for these PS4 remasters. C'mon already!

I think the blurriness is by far the biggest problem with Yakuza 4. I can deal with 720p, 30 fps and the occasional aliasing (which I never thought was a huge issue with Yakuza 4), but the blur just makes the whole thing look like a mess. I think it was meant to make the visuals appear less jaggy and did a decent job on that front, but... well, just look at this:



That's the game running at its native 720p resolution using PS3 component cables. HDMI would be slightly sharper, but thanks to HDCP it's a pain in the rear end to record.

Almost done with Kiwami2, I'm in chapter 16 and I'm being told that I should prepare, so... I ended up spending the evening finishing the Cabaret Club.
All in all I liked the new batch of hotesses, althrough I really didn't care for Yua, her character is bland and uninteresting.
Aika is just the funny girl but she was cool tho, Shoko gets a nice development, Kirara (despite her really scary gameplay model, could you just blink in a while ??) was surprisingly interesting and the VA did a good job, Koyuki is cute but unfortunately not as cute as Yuki in Y0, and Kana was by far my favourite.
Kirara's subquest being a second round of Yuki's subquest in Yakuza0 was hilarious, especially Koyuki fainting at the thought of Yuki having a boyfriend, Kirara and Kiryu's spying on Yuki and Kiryu slowly lowering his head when they're found out
I may have burnt out a little on this minigame but I'll be sure to check Hokuto's version.

Onward to finish the game now, right in time for Spiderman.

I'll buy the remasters if they come out in English though.

He just arbitrarily turns invincible halfway dead and then shoots me for a absurd amount of damage. If I hit him he doesn't flinch or anything. If I heat move I do 0 damage to him. This poo poo is loving awful and I've lost twice to it.

Going to assume Kiwami 2?

If he's the one I'm thinking about you use the staircase to wait out his invincibility. Honestly, the staircase completely cheeses him because he can't shoot through it.

If you think 4 looks rough these days, I fired up 3 on my PS3 while thinking of going for the platinum trophy, since I left off really close to getting it, and the filtering on the screen is just like looking through gauze. The screen caps I’ve seen of the remastered version look so much better it’s insane!

So, I don't know how to Mahjong at all but for shits and giggles I decided to play a few rounds to see if I can just slowly absorb the rhythm of it after reading the rules a few times (I didn't) yet somehow this happened.

This is what I'm referencing. The tiles are different but he did win with a Mangan in the first major arc.

I hate to tell you this, but a mangan is any hand that just happens to score a high amount of points. (specifically han, which are the numbers it's counting up at the result screen) Mangan is 4-5, haneman is 6-7, baiman is 8-10, etc.

That said, I'd love a zawa-zawa button.

Tempting as it is to steal any tiles that you can, learning to resist and stealing when you need to is a big part. Stealing a tile to form a set seems like a big advantage but it locks you into that set and opens your hand. You're giving up flexibility and the bonus from having a closed hand.

True, but 'all triples with dora 3 attached' is a pretty drat good time to play fast so long as you started with a lot of pairs.
