Excited to play this video game. It's a shame the best character and secret protagonist of the series Akiyama isn't in it though.

That's a weird way to write "Haruka"

I think the Artful Dodger does exactly that. I remember him throwing shade on Kiryu to the other protagonists
Or it's the Karaoke Girls who tell Stories of a grey suited man singing enka.

The combination of Pat from two best friends shilling this, and seeing a clip of Maejima breakdance fighting caused me to cave and get this.

Sure hope I don't hate it.

Pat is wrong 99% of the time,but not about Yakuza.

I suck at Disco. Bad.

I'm saddened that Ruby Plates apparently crashed hard in the digital age. They would've made hostesses that much easier.

Is this game supposed to be insanely difficult? I can barely make it through random encounter fights against 2-3 guys early in the game, on normal difficulty. They just kick the poo poo out of me nonstop. And I'm really not someone who's bad at video games.

I take it it's your first Yakuza game? R1 for soft locking,beast and pickups will wreck stuff in seconds, rush is good for bosses due to triple quickstep.

You wanna play this like a Dragonball Z fight and punch people in the back after quickstepping around them. Brawler also has a counter after you are a hit. But yeah, don't shy away using pickups, rush cannot pick stuff up tho.

Blocking is a trap tho,you just get staggered to hell outside of beast style.

I've played tons of brawlers and fighting games and am good at them. But it feels like I don't even have a chance to get a single attack off.

You aren't quickstepping then.

I am. I just get swarmed.

Seriously, is the game supposed to be crazy hard? Something feels off.

I dunno. You can end most fights on the street in under 5 seconds and enemy attacks are pretty telegraphed. If you get cornerfucked, chain quickstepping around them in rush helps, brawler does more damage so switch to that when you have air.

Also,never not pickup bicycles,the are weapons of mass destruction.

Welp I figured it out. I was using an accessory called "Charismatic Autobiography" that gives good good stats but apparently makes enemies like 10x as aggressive. It's definitely not clear that's what it does in the item description. I took it off and I can clear fights without getting hit now :doh:

So yeah, gently caress you guys. I knew something was off.

Well. You still got hit. Kiryu never would've gotten hit even with that accessory.

Rush really helps building heat, especially on Mr.Shakedown with minimal risk, so you can cream them with a better style.

I wish any of Majimas styles were good against Mr. Shakedown. They have so many recovery animations that can gently caress you up, i don't feel safe fighting them without consumables unlike with kiryu

Brawler is pretty good, two, three safe hits, backoff , repeat. If he does the windup punch, you can go for a full combo.

I cannot win the chicken. I cannot do it.

I played 20 sets of 10 and best I can do is two and then I choke. This sucks

I finally did it on the last 3 sets after two hours. Trick is hitting two pixels off center with 98/100 power.

I'm legit good at the ufo catcher tho. I spent hours on that.

To be fair, with a secret wallet you lose nothing. The running grab is highly telegraphed and I never got hit by that, I lose by being too greedy. Sotenbori has one with 1,5 billion yen, I've defeated them 8 times or so and his healthbar is deep purple and it just takes too long.

The bowling thing is horse poo poo , cause you cannot get the building without winning Nugget

I've heard if you get enough people to buy the game you can become a Yakuza. Or get beat up by Kiryu.

I bolded your problem for you. That and Staminans and Tauriners.

Yup. They take 5-10 minutes safely if they have purple or white health. I usually don't bother except for Majima cause Kiryu prints money by idling. All the media king properties could be 50% cheaper tho.

Yakuza endings tend to be hit-or-miss for me, depending on how much of a mess the big reveals become, but I really liked this one.

This one worked really well. It was about ambition and greed how everyone handles it on a smaller scale . Not about a resort mystery plot or a identical twin or the government needing the yakuza part of the same coin yada yada and they even kept the number of betrayals in the single digits!
I also liked Makoto, she tried stuff on her own instead of being just a damsel. It didn't work, but she was fine.


It also helps a lot that the plot is offset by hilarious 80s sidestories

Nah, I could tell them apart, but I had no idea that the courses had differences. I only took the 3k one and was wondering why I only got the same three girls despite hanging up and redialing.

Apparently it isn't. I was just unlucky, I was missing the polite one who speaks in keigo.She had the same background picture as Riku, the cutesy voiced, short haired one. I nabbed them all now.

I wish the Hostess Clubs are a thing in this, I get why they are not...but still....I liked hearing about their fictional hostess problems.

Majimas Management doesn't really count, imho.
