I think getting the poo poo kicked out of you by Kiryu is just a badge of honor for the yakuza

It's a badge that literally everyone has at this point but still

For a sidequest thats all about helping Michael Jackson make not-Thriller they sure made it a real unfun piece of poo poo to play, escort missions are garbage.

Game still rules though. I beat Mr. Shakedown and now theres a 2nd one stalking the streets

Kiryu is still an oblivious idiot no matter what the age

Young girl: I think you should only show your underwear to those you really love... :wink:

Kiryu: ok

for rush style is there any point to the charged triangle attack aside from looking cool? it takes forever to charge and once Kiryu is done he spends about 5 seconds regaining his composure, which is more than enough time to get my poo poo kicked in

Is there some trick to dizzying people with it since it seems to happen so rarely at the moment, they're usually dead before it happens.

If you want to dizzy don't ever use the finishing blows, just mash square

mr. shakedown gets really loving tough after you beat him 4 times. He gets a running grab move that instantly kills you even on easy and it's pretty much impossible to dodge on like half the areas you can encounter him in. This whole mechanic sucks.

that doll girl substory had no right to end as sweetly as it did. Majima is just the best dude.

basically any substory involving a child in yakuza ends on a really sweet note, which is a nice change of pace when most of the time you're dealing with some of the most outrageously evil people in existence.

it's not even the yakuza that are that bad, straight up everyone in kamurocho is a piece of poo poo. like on the way to go meet my new tonfa-wielding coworker for drinks I've stopped 8 rapes, 6 muggings, 12 kidnappings, and shut down a sex slave ring

Took me a while to realize you can just block most of Mr. Shakedown's attacks until he hulks out, made a lot of stuff easier to deal with.

I never realized just how good Kiryu's fighting style in all the other yakuza games were until I unlocked the Legend style in 0. Tools for any situation, bounding throws are fun as hell, and the default fight music is great. I'm having a hard time switching to other styles now except for maybe Beast if there's a lot of stuff around.

Man... Majima's dancing sidequest is hard. Every time I manage to improve my score, so does Isobe. I've seen her get a score in the high five thousands, and now that I'm good enough to beat that every time, she's upped her score to more than 7500. Is she programmed to just do a little better than you every time?

Edit: No, it looks like there's no rubberbanding here. She just beat me by 1500.

More Edit: Now her scores are breaking 8500. I haven't gotten anywhere near that. Will she ever get a low score again?

The dance battles have a really wide range of scores they can get and it's completely random, idk what causes it. I was only able to beat her and Kiryu's last guy when the RNG was feeling merciful and they only got about 5000 points, just keep at it and maybe the game will take pity on you too.

I got a little annoyed the toughest pocket races seem to have a significant random element with how the physics and stabilization work, but it sure beats the extremely transparent grind of real estate battle.

EDIT: I just got warned that to progress further against the gambling king I need to unlock something, which won't happen until later in the main story. If I keep pushing the gambling % higher will I be locked out of collecting money completely when I hit 60% and can't meet him or will it let me max the % and then immediately give me the challenge and then final fight events when possible?

The latter

Kiryu seems to have a new kind of counter where if you block at the exact moment an enemy attacks and press Triangle you do this jumping knee attack that does a ridiculous amount of damage

My only complaint here is that I feel the game would be several times better if they actually had left the standard series combat there. It would give a reason to make the entire game like the raid missions and maybe with a bit more focus on melee weapons, which I love to use in the main series anyway. It also would have completely solved the shooter mechanic issues.

This would have made the fights against not-Wesker and the final boss really drat good, and possibly the best Yakuza game ever

The timing for Disco is really weird and the fact the squares constantly flash blue and red when 2 of your prompts are also blue and red really mess with your head

Also the scores for winning are super inconsistent. I got 7000 against Ogita once and lost because he got 7600, then I got 6000 the next attempt and won because he only got 5600, poo poo's wonky

I gave 2 and Fist of the North Yakuza 4s and the F2P trash a 3. I have a horrible feeling the F2P is the devil's bargain of Yakuza anything on PC if its even minorly succeeded, so I'm willing to tolerate its existence if it lets Kiwami and 0 migrate to steam one day. Ain't touching it myself, but it'd probably be better than most other F2P garbage that likely won't last too long because it isn't Overwatch or whatever is the current king of online crap.

Oh, I didn't actually care, I just wanted to make a dumb joke
