Akiyama's apparently bogus charge of coercion seemed completely factual to me. What would you call requiring that a woman date him in order to get a loan if not coercion?

Welp, seems like we might get some 90s Yakuza then. Hopefully. Were the 90s wonderfully tacky in Japan as well? I'd love to see Kazuma and Majima in windbreakers.

Also, Binary Domain is on sale for $3.74 on Steam right now.

How playable is that if you don't use a mic?

So, someone linked a shogi program earlier. I tried that, but it stopped providing recommended moves very early in a game. I don't really want to learn how to play shogi, so is there an alternative or a solution for that particular program?

Idol music isn't even particularly good! What's the appeal!

3d waifus. They are "perfect" as long as they can maintain the facade, unlike real women who are living organisms with thoughts and opinions and such. The whole industry is weird, and mostly just exists so yakuza have a steady supply of young girls to gently caress.

On an unrelated topic, are Tatsuya's dishes supposed to be horrifying abominations against god and man? They sure seem that way, but it is all played completely straight so I'm not sure if it is intentional or not.

Ms. Park was more than a little crazy. "This is Haruka's dream. I know this because it used to be mine and I told her so." She just grabbed a random kid off the street and shoved all this baggage on her, and then Haruka went along with it because she is very polite.

Even without the forcible dream bestowal weirdness, it was very clear that Park was crazy as a shithouse rat just because of how she spent that money. Then there is how being an idol with secrets bit her in the rear end but then she picked a kid with secrets far more damning than hers could ever be. She was raised by a yakuza, who cares? Except for how Haruka was raised by that one particular yakuza who is functionally invincible. Like, if Park's stuff had been revealed it would have caused a scandal and tanked her career, but if Haruka's relationship with Kiryu became public knowledge she would be the target of at least some of the several million people he has punched in the face. It would actually be a much better method of taking down Kiryu than the usual "aim a gun at him in a cutscene" thing.

Toughness z might not be as efficient from a money/point ratio, but it lets you spend less time on Ultimate Menu Simulator and go back to cock racing. I will refrain from spoiling the wonderful prize you get from beating the final race.

Well, that obviously ain't happening! I don't even see how it is possible, since from everything I've read about that dumb minigame there is no simple trick.

For the coliseum weapon match, what weapon skill should I grind up? That dude with a pistol just fucks me up every time.

I picked this up after watching a Let's Play from Super Best Friends. I've tried to get into the series before and really wanted to like it. From what I saw, it looks like something I'm really into. Is there anything I should know before starting? Any tips to getting to the best stuff as soon as possible? Or for maximizing fun?

Don't pick up any sparkly things as Haruka. Donate all those junk weapons to the weapon shop instead of money, because for some insane reason you can't sell weapons.

uh, that would only be true if they included clothing damage. there are plenty of belligerent punks to go around and it isn't like letting haruka punch some of them would retroactively make the series less manly.

I'm ok with Yakuza's social backwardness (with the interesting exception of its attitude towards Koreans) because it's completely true to the source material: actual yakuza do indeed live in a ridiculous male fantasy world.

actual yakuza are extortionists, drug dealers and pimps. gently caress those guys.

you need to both speak japanese and have the right timing, which is even worse. just find a guide and try it over and over until you squeak by. fortunately, you only have to clear the first round to finish the substory.

After putting the game down for months because Tatsuo sucks so hard I finally powered through his chapter and upon regaining control of Kiryu and Saejima I was relieved to find it wasn't my imagination. He really is incredibly weak and unfun.

Seriously why does he do one third as much damage as everyone else?

you are always supposed to be using weapons with him. unlike saejima who should be left in heat mode all the time, you should burn tatsuo's gauge on heat moves with weapons at every opportunity. i think his style is very boring, but it works okay. fortunately aside from maybe using some stop sign cheese to raise the level cap you never need to touch weapons with any of the other characters.
