Aw man, no Masayoshi? He was my favourite new character due to this unique fighting style. I'm still pretty hyped about Yakuza 5 though. I hope they tweak Akiyama a bit more since he has the most boring fighting style out of all the new the characters in Yakuza 4.

Haruka's section will take place in a high school where she'll be the "Dragon of [high school name here]" and beat up the school's bullies.

Static Rook posted:I have an Android phone. There's a couple lovely free mahjong apps but nothing good. I'm pretty much reduced to playing those creepy arcade mahjong MAME games and skipping the HAWT HAWT early 90's anime nudity. You're welcome. It's in Japanese but if you understand the rules then it shouldn't be a problem. It's my go to mahjong app for my android phone. Also it says you have to login to play but that's a lie. I haven't even made an account yet and I can still play.

Yakuza 4 uses Riichi Mahjong rules which is the main play style of Japan. This is a good flash version if you're interested. It even has simple instructions to get you started. http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html

From what I understand, localizing Yakuza games are relatively cheap due to it not having a dub. Since the last few games sold decently enough to recoup the low localization cost, Yakuza 5 will most likely be released in English.

first 3 hours in Yakuza 2 the game has ground to a screeching halt as I need to scrounge up 300k in cash and the mahjong parlor is a brick wall compared to the one in 4

Wasn't Shogi in Yakuza 2? I never really noticed it gone in 3 and 4 as I don't know how to play it but it seems weird that it was removed (and now being re-added). Edit: Never mind, it was in 4. I just never noticed it. Zettace fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Sep 20, 2012 |

I personally just chalked it up as Yakuza brand craziness and moved a long. Considering the stuff that has happened in the series, that wasn't that hard to swallow.

In the Yakuza 2, weapons can only be equipped from the inventory (no quick select via the d-pad) and if I recall correctly, once a weapon is used up, it'll disappear and there's no way to repair it. Also, my memory could be fuzzy and I could be completely wrong but I remember that you'll keep random weapons you pick up in fights (pipes, baseball bats,etc). To expand, any weapon you take away from an opponent, if you finish the fight with the weapon still in your hand then you'll still be holding it in the next fight.

Well, most prominent female voice actors (who also do some side idol work) usually start working while in Highschool and University. They seem to be able to do both so why not?

High school in Japan isn't mandatory but almost everyone graduates from it now. In fact, the Japanese government is debating whether to make the High schools public and free because like in most places in the world, a high school diploma is becoming the bare minimum to get any full time position. Edit: Wikipedia says that 94% of junior high students in 2005 entered High School. Also, education in Japan is free as of 2010. Zettace fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Oct 18, 2012 |

Japanese high school isn't particular hard and it's quite hard to fail. The only hard part of Japanese high school is if you're planning to go to University then you have tons of studying to do.

Okay, I think that's enough of a derail for now. We should go back to talking about Akiyama and challenging old ladies to dance battles. Also, it seems like he's actually losing in that picture.

I really hope they don't use Yakuza 4 and Dark Soul's system of having all of the characters separated into their own chunks. I rather have a back and forth between chapters. This is especially true with Haruka's segment as I don't want to be forced to go through a few hours of her chapter without any fighting. Haruka's segment looks interesting but I don't want to be playing her segment for more than an hour or two at a time.

The HD versions look the same as if run on an emulator. A lot of PS2 games look great if you render at a higher resolution than native.

I think the pliers easily wins the "most brutal" heat move contest. In Yakuza 2, you used it to remove a tooth. In 3 and 4 it's a finger nail.

Crabtree posted:Watching that demo for 5, I'm surprised that Kazuma would even attempt to hide his identity at this point. The man has practically beat up half the population of Japan by 2010(?) and that number will only increase with every game. Hell, he's likely the real reason why the nation has a shrinking population. There are at least 2 generations of Yakuza who have some sort of scar or permanent injury thanks to Kazuma Kiryu.

The Taiko drum is just a remapped ps2 controller, right? If that's the case then a ps2 to ps3 controller adapter off ebay will probably work.

Also, in Yakuza you can't attack civilians. Obviously, massacring tons of innocents is not something companies want to be associated with.

RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS posted:You'd be correct. It's not that the Yakuza team don't want to ship with English menus and stuff but it's extra work and you have to understand that they'll not go out of their way for a hand full of people. If they had the work already done for English menus already then you can assume they would have included it.

It's worth the price of entry just for being able to play as Majima. Not to mention that you can go do some karaoke as him which is amazing.

The games come with recaps of the past games so jumping into a later game isn't a problem story wise. However like most games, jumping to an older game will make you miss the gameplay improvements the newer versions have. So it depends on how much you care about such a thing. Yakuza 2's fighting system and moving around the city feels different enough from Yakuza 3 and 4s that I think it's not that big of a problem to go back to and it won't feel as such a downgrade. Yakuza 1 is really clunky though.

Does anyone remember what Tanimura's throw move is before you unlock the armbar takedown thing? Is it just a normal shoulder throw? It's been a while and the armbar takedown was one of the first moves I unlocked so I spent very little time without it so I can't remember what it was at all.

If you don't have Majima's automatic shotgun already then get it. It's so drat overpowered and will tear anything, including that boss apart.

oblomov posted:On Sengoku Basara, it's an ok game, but it's not the best in the series and game is flowed a bit generally. Still $30 was a great price, so I am puzzled why the game bombed as hard as it did. I think it's safe to say that the majority of the North American fans of the series are familiar with the Japanese voice acting either though importing the previous games or watching the anime. Not releasing a major draw for a game like that was already a handicap for that game doing well.

In the past (as in centuries ago), it was tradition for the father to sleep together with the daughter until she became 8 years old or so. It was a big part of the father-daughter relationship. Maybe a reference to that?

Dojima acting as a plot point was good enough for me. It's a case of the person himself not being important (to the plot) but the events and people he's involved with that make him important.

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.
