precision posted:Make sure to do the Survey everyone. It's a button panel right next to the one for Manual under the Start Menu icon. It's short and literally has options to let them know "I bought this game because I love Yakuza and I have bought all of them and will continue to buy all of them". You can write in stuff too like "Gio Corsi marry me". Thanks for this, would've missed it. Took 5 minutes and I'm happy to let them know they're exceeding my wildest dreams about Yakuza localization.

Pretty sure I convinced a financially responsible friend to buy a PS4 thru a stream of me doing the bicycle HEAT moves followed by karaoke Judgement. Their little outfits halfway thru are perfectly 80s.

My experience with Amon is always the same: initial reaction of HOLY gently caress THIS IS BULLSHIT, followed by learning his pattern while feeling tension due to the consumables burned to get to that point, then finishing him off and proclaiming NEVER AGAIN.

Chexoid posted:Holy gently caress did they actually get Lenne Hardt for this? Persona 5 has its work cut out for it. Wow what I put Yakuza on pause because I'm super happy with Nioh, but this is something else to look forward to. (also for folks who haven't played it - Nioh owns bones, it's like Bloodborne/Souls but more customizable and the early parts are a bit more accessible while still being difficult).

I also would prefer renovation. Audience is focused and inclusive, and it's good for newcomers to know where to go for Yakuza anything.

"NANI?" is my go-to when something spectacular happens in TV, movies, or videogames. Almost did it during opening night of The Last Jedi when (near the end) everything goes quiet as Holdo warps thru the dreadnaught.

Finally digging thru 0 after leaving it hanging at Ch 2 for months, currently in Ch 10. Can I just say how good the sound is in this game? Not that it's a surprise, but the music is amazing (especially the track that plays during the Kuze fights) and the sound effects in fights are basically ASMR. Body Counters and Essence of Finishing Blows all day.

Saoshyant posted:Sega put out a survey to gauge the reactions for Yakuza 6. Here's the thing, though: they also put a question asking if people would be willing to buy the Fist of North Star game. If you are, then you should answer the survey ASAP if you want to give its possible localization a chance. Danaru posted:Eleven pages?! They had a similar survey following Y0/Y5 (maybe others?). I remember answering questions about the real estate chicken. On top of the rad surprise at the end, it really helps them when folks do the surveys.

As I was posting in the Y6 thread about the music in Y0, I realize I should come in here and say I beat Y0. Enjoyed it all the way through. Normally prequels aren't my thing but this is so well done and I'm glad that SEGA noticed the sales & fan reactions. It's a little strange reconciling the strong image of Majima in the series proper and this one where he's by turns a super classy cabaret manager and something indescribable in 24 Hour Cinderella, but it works. Highly, highly recommended. Still can't get over how good the music is in Y0. Digging the stuff in Y6 but I'd say this is the peak in the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6AuvA-tl3Y They really build up Kuze (just as the music builds and builds) as this absolute badass (endgame) and the nods of how Kiryu eventually respects and then quietly emulates him in the epilogue and beyond are A+. I look forward to fighting him every time, and the music's a major part.

TheCenturion posted:The other thing that really jumped out at me was how much better the proportions are in the new version; Goda's head is wee tiny on the PS2. Yep! One of the first things I noticed in Y6 is that everyone's hands are normal sized for once. Didn't mind it before but the change is immediately apparent.

signalnoise posted:So here's my question- Given I really really wanna dive right back into it, but I don't have Yakuza 2 (or a functioning PS2 anymore) and Yakuza Kiwami 2 is months away, would the story suffer enough jumping to 3 that I will regret it? Nah, there's a comprehensive cutscene/story recap of 1-2 at the start of 3. Some of the cool moments will feel less cool because you're watching them but it'll likely be better experiencing them in Kiwami 2 later.

It's not, no. Ended up enjoying it more than I expected. Would recommend it for the story. Outside of that, real estate is much better for money.

To each their own - I was bad at the Disco minigame until I wasn't. It's a bit like Rock Band in that the lower difficulties are tougher for most folks because the inputs don't intuitively match the rhythm of the song. Beyond that, it's just putting in some extra steps before each beat and nailing the super. In the final danceoff for Isobe, I had a not great performance but won by 50 points. It's easier than it seems at first.

Kuze is a rude early awakening to players new to the series - but really every first boss is. More tips for new players: Keep practicing the dodges, especially to the side so you can hit an unprotected area. Be ready to dodge out of partial combos, especially when the boss starts blocking. Play more conservatively when the boss goes into HEAT mode, but use your HEAT actions during that time when they're available. Keep an eye out for weapons and other objects in the area as well.

Sindai posted:You really only need to know one thing to deal with every Yakuza boss: never just try to do a full combo to them from the front, after two or three hits they will stop flinching and interrupt you almost without fail. This will happen faster and more frequently at the 50% health mark when they power up. This ignores the HELL YEAH feeling of Tiger Dropping a boss with Kiryu, as well as stunlocking a goon with Majima and his nunchaku bat

Finally loaded up the PC version. Had some funkiness involving directional inputs but resolved after a couple reboots. Game runs like a dream otherwise, and for $20 I'll gladly take a few bugs for getting Yakuza on PC. Save Anywhere rules and Body Counters/Tiger Drops are still satisfying.

Crappy Jack posted:You can miss absolutely nothing during the game outside of some optional achievements, full stop. You might not be able to do certain activities or substories at certain points in the story, but you'll always be able to go back and do stuff. (For series newcomers, beating the game gives you access to a sandbox mode, where you can carry over your save and wander around doing minigames and completing whatever activities and sidequests you had left to your hearts' content.) Martian Manfucker posted:this is a big relief. To add: the sandbox mode also lets you switch between characters, change the time of day, and swap a few different outfits.

At that time it was around 125 Yen = 1 USD. Quick way is to take a value you see in Y0, then estimate what 80% of that is, then remove 2 decimals.

It really is different though. 1) First Yakuza game on PC 2) It's not full price 3) Issues aren't uncommon but are also not widespread 4) Bethesda's finances and PC resources are considerably different than Sega's Like it's totally fine to feel frustrated but it's a false comparison

Did they really miss these issues, or did they run out of time while fixing issues we never saw at release (b/c they were fixed)? Tech issues suck. They're super disempowering and discouraging. They're also usually more complicated than they seem.
