Crappy Jack posted:Yeah, so, when the series was first coming out, this was obviously the first one available on the PS3. Yakuza 1 and 2 were PS2 exclusives. So for a lot of people, this was their first taste of the Yakuza games, and after hearing all sorts of word of mouth about these badass crime game beat-em-ups, and....well, you can see how people were a little put off at first. 3 and 4 are the last ones for me to play. The opening section of 3 is making me very sad, knowing that this is the life Kiryu wants, and comparing that to how he ends up.

3 absolutely had a slow burn opening that’s meant to get you acquainted and attached to the orphanage and Kiryu’s new life. Don’t worry, the plot picks up in typical Yakuza fashion. It’s a great entry in the series.

i've only played y0. Are there other yakuza games where all the last bosses confess their boundless admiration for the protagonist then whip their shirts off and lose gracefully, redeeming themselves in the process?

i was referring more to Kuze, Awano, and the other dude (who, while less redeemed than the other two, gains some sympathy by revealing he always expected to lose). mr assassin man does not fit my description ofc.

Usually the confession happens after Kiryu beats them down so hard, it completely shatters their worldview and they realize the error of their ways, not before. Unfortunately there's then like a 99% chance that they'll either be shot or exploded seconds after this happens.

Just beat Judgement's Amon for the first time. Probably took me 3 hours, maybe more. I'm curious to hear what your strategies were for his final form. I didn't quite have enough heat moves I could pull off to end the fight fast, and trying to punch him a bunch is dangerous because he does so much damage back. Feel like I knew what to do for 2 hours, but just couldn't pull it off. E: despite the struggle, it was some of the most fun I've had with the game.

In fact you'll be okay just dodging and blocking his blue mode even when you're in red mode.

Dodge the steal, extracts for the weapon phase, revival extract during final as a backup. Dodge during red, flip kick off wall to drop shield during blue then EX (recharge with items if needed) and try for take him down with easy EX moves. You basically get one shot at the final form, but even with that it took me an hour or so to clear him. (All stats were max)

I couldn't get neither the wall kick nor wall kick ex move to work in the later stages. How I did it: dodge until he throws grenades and punish with flux fissure, repeat until 2nd form. Use EX boost in the matching stance until 3rd form. Try to pull off EX moves and flux fissures as he's about to change stances in 3rd form. Really feel like that breakdance spinning kick would have helped take a good chunk off, but I haven't figured out what move that is or how to do it.

I watched a video on how to do it and did it with that. His sonic booms heal you and refill your EX gauge if your current stance matches the same color so you can just tank one phase and EX burst down another so long as you break the shield with a wall kick when the timing is right. Really fun fight. Remember that you can equip medikits and such in your quick slots and they persist even if he steals your phone.

Did not know about wall kick. I just did heat moves in the opposite style. Apparently tiger drop works too, I think flux fissure works when he is blue as well. Honestly I just thought he took the normal amount of damage when you're in the opposite style.

Yakuza: RGG sounds dope so far. I can see people bulding up classes around the physics, like a lineup made for maximim knockback that pushes all opponents into wallbounce animations. Or cars. Though I love the live city beat-em-up of judgement, I am kinda interested to see how The RPG formula pans out.

Feel like I knew what to do for 2 hours, but just couldn't pull it off. I went into the fight fully drunk and used one of the rare non-DLC elixirs that gave you some kind of special attack (forgot the name of it, been a while since I finished the game). Once the fight started, I started up EX mode and used the special attack on him as many times as I can which did so much damage to Amon that it skipped the part where he's supposed to grab your phone meaning I had access to all of my items and the pause menu the entire fight, making the rest of the fight easier.

Count me in as someone who's pysched for for Yakuza 7. There's been about 9 or so Yakuza titles and spin-offs out in the West with the same core gameplay so a change of pace is welcome. Judging by the quote from Vikar Jerome's post it looks like it's gonna have a rhythm mechanic similar to Super Mario RPG which would own and go a long way to keep the gameplay from going stale and feel more like an action game. Or I'm just dumb and the quote is just referring to ye olde QTEs of yore. Metroid Fitzgerald fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Aug 31, 2019 |

The April Fools video absolutely was not gameplay, but rather a proof of concept video for how the flow of fights work, where things move in real time and your moves can be interrupted

Re: my yakuza 3 talk from yesterday, I want to be clear I'm not complaining about how it has the slowest/longest opening of the series but I think it's undeniably one of the longest openings before you truly get the free roam. It's nice walking around his coastal city. It's spent too much time in kamorocho after yakuza 0 - judgment.

My only concern with the battles in Yakuza 7 is how much time it may take. You get jumped a lot in these games, and one of the things I liked about the new engine was it seemed like fights "engaged" faster and you were able to clear through mooks quicker. Turn-based battles aren't usually known for being speedy. Plus this studio is kinda bad about being efficient with things like this (why the gently caress don't the batting cage challenges have a retry option).

They've managed to make the fights feel fantastic after years of refining the combat, but everything else they do in these games is hit and miss, and there's a lot of potential to miss here.

I'm at the same place and after doing the quest for Turtle Financing with them I ignore. mr. kim is very mad at me but whatever dude I love that Kaito and Yagami really feel like buds. Him just being along side you in the big fights really makes you guys feel like partners. I love the whole mystery gang that meets in the old game center, everyone is cool

I just finished Yakuza 3 last night and (ending spoilers) I have no idea what __Mine__ said during his moment of redemption because I was too busy laughing my rear end off at Andre Richardson grunting and cursing in the background. Way to ruin an emotional moment, man  Also, that's one way to fade to credits, jesus christ!

Was Mr. Kim patched to be nicer if you skip the threat level bosses? I remember him being way meaner if you just didn’t do it. Now he’s like “I believe in you, you’ll get them next time” and like way nicer about it lol.

The final boss fight in Judgement was fun and satisfying, even if the motivations are a little contrived. Just 2 dudes fighting in a pretty wide open area, storm raging in the background. That swing in around the window frame after getting kicked out was funny and badass. Some Fast and Furious poo poo.
