The giant traffic cones often come out when they do street closures for pedestrians, like in Harajuku (around Yoyogi Park), Kabukicho, Shibuya, Akihabara, etc.

Unless you don't care about trophies whatsoever, but yeah, Normal does enough annoying stuff during fights to make it challenging enough on it's own. I'm looking at you, Tanimura final boss fight. Yeah, do it this way. Go through normal first, then if you want to play it again do it on Hard. You'll have a better time in Hard with your items and stats from the normal playthrough. Reeeally trying not to import Y0, holding out on the thinnest of hope that we'll get an announcement near Y5's release date or soon after.

I'll probably import it since even if they do announce a English release in the near future, it's still going to take at least another year for that English version to be released.

Still playing Y5, got Ishin on the backlog, Y5 English release is coming and there is a metric ton of other great games on the backlog as well.

It plays almost exactly the same if you outfit Tanimura with that bulletproof set. His fight with the same enemies would have been so much better if it took place in some warehouse with a ton of heavy boxes, partitions, containers and other stuff serving as walls to ram people into.

Alright well I'll give that a shot. I am two hours in though and no one has done any damage to me but I assume that's just early game shenanigans.

Samurai Sanders posted:Holy poo poo Zero comes out in three days or so. I guess it's time to hit up Playasia for some PSN bucks, since Amazon.jp hasn't started selling them yet, like I hoped they would (they've been selling PS+ codes directly for months but still not PSN money for some reason). Huh, I wasn't aware you could do that from Play-Asia. Zero is dropping digitally as well? I don't know why I'm asking this since almost every title does now. Edit: Anyone know what the price of it will be on the PSN, if it's on there? Salsa McManus fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 12, 2015 |

Got my shipping notification from Play Asia! I'll be gaming next week, gives me time to beat Hotline Miami 2 like 5 times. My first RGG game on PS4! I still haven't beaten 5 yet though, it takes way too long for me to translate and by the time I do a quest I'm exhausted mentally.

The beginning part of the full version also has those Bayonetta-like half-animated cutscenes.

It's really weird to see Dojima actually doing things instead of being dead as a plot device. edit: some normal enemies can attack really fast, like, in between your hits when you are in rush mode.

Crusher style? How does combat/character advancement work in Zero? And 5, for that matter.

Sindai posted:Crusher style? How does combat/character advancement work in Zero? Zero though has three fighting styles per character that each have their own circular skill tree thing, like Ishin did. New to this game, you don't have xp or golden balls or anything, but rather just money. In the game it's literally called "investing in yourself". This game is overflowing with money (going with the 80s setting, during which the Imperial palace grounds were estimated to be worth more than the entire state of California), but the big chunks of it (2 million yen and up) you'll probably end up using on yourself, leaving the smaller bits for everything else.

I did a subquest where I helped a very meek and polite S&M queen learn how to insult and step on people properly. I love this series. Also I got a "sexy video" of her. After you watch it the camera moves very meaningfully to a box of tissues.

The beginning of Majima's part sure is something. As the trailers suggested, it shows a completely different side of him, much like the beginning of 3 with Kiryu. Or the beginning of 5, for that matter. edit: he still likes kicking people in the throat though, so not everything has changed.

I have no idea what I'm doing in this game, but crushing fools is still hilariously amazing. Sanders! Where do I go after Nishiki and Kazuma have a heart to heart at Kazuma's place after the big brawl with Samurai Tattoo dude? It's interesting to see how they're going to incorporate Majima and Kazuma's mainstay moves into the fighting styles and how they evolve into their 1-5 styles. Odd to see Kazuma's face stomping in the boxing style.

The story has definitely gone off the rails though. I have no idea how all this stuff happens and then there's another six years before Kiryu goes to prison. It almost feels like they're retconning stuff in the first game. I doubt it though; I'm sure they will tie things up in the end one way or another.

ISamurai Sanders posted:Hm...I can't really think of when you mean, since there's a lot of heart to hearts with those two, and a lot of guys with tattoos. I believe it's the end of the prologue. After Kazuma's shower scene and Dojima's first appearance. That shower scene though. This game earns most realistic water in a shower in a video game award for all time. I'll have to plod around when I get home and see what I can do. I told some love sick and broke high school kid to go to hell on accident so that side quest is done. Edit: I don't think you can stream Zero. I tried last night for some internet friends and it was blocked nearly 99% of the time.
