Are there literally no guides that explain wtf is going on with the Amon fights? I don't meant "Amon fight on legendary l33t no damage no weapons" - I mean something that actually explains what happens during different stages of the fight and what he's actually vulnerable / invulnerable to.

zap gun him to death.

awano rules, if theres a a yakuza 0-2 i want kuze and shibusawa to get out of prision only they retcon shibusawa and replace him with awano and dont explain it and then you play as kuze and awano going after those young upstarts yakuzas. also sagawa didnt get shot either and hes back to being awesome.

doublepost to add a question about aforesaid style: i seem to have a lot more trouble building heat in mad dog than in any other style, but switching is kind of inconvenient with having to hit the menu. any tips? (besides drugs, of course)

just use his one heat move he has in that style when 3 people are around and then never use the style again and go back to slugger because holygoddamn that soundtrack.

Has anyone done actual karaoke of any of the songs that are in the various Yakuza games as karaoke minigames? I'd totally watch such a video. There are actual karaoke tracks out there without vocals for various songs at least.

yeah none of the points you make in any mini-game battle counts towards completion lol.

just lose the 10%, you gain it back in no time. only losing the media king's 10% is annoying because of how grindy his area gets.

anyone playing kiwami 2 (or 6) on a ps4 pro, are the textures blurry? like sign textures and poo poo? i'm getting some weird lower than expected resolution textures on stuff like building signs and names, like they look lower res than 0 and kiwami and i'm wondering if its a side effect of the new engine on my ps4 slim. i mean, its not terrible or anything, just wondering if texture streaming had broke or some poo poo.

Can't you just bring over a maxed out Kiryu/Majima into NG+ for Legend Difficulty?

Or at the very least unlocked their respective 4th styles.

you can't NG+ legend in 0 (but you can in kiwami, which is weird) that said, legend is fairly easy enough anyway if you've already been through the game once.

One of their localization guys discussed that for 6 actually. They got a lot of complaints that they translated "aniki" wrong in 0 or Kiwami or something and that they should've just left it as-is, so I think that's where they're going, moving forward.

thought it was boss or something? i remember for the 5 mins i played of ps2 yakuza shinji saying it out loud and i always thought it was kiryu's nickname until i played 0.

I think I'm coming up on the Climax to Kiwami 1 and I have three questions...

So Nishiki has a sick sister who needs a heart transplant, Doctor says he needed 30 million to find an Organ dealer, so Nishiki starts presumably paying the Doctor with money his tough gets him. Later on we see that Nishki's tough got 30 million from the doctor who then dips on Nishiki. Is the implied order of events. Doctor owes money to the Yakuza, presumably Kazuma or Nishikis family. Nishiki asks doctor for Heart. Nishiki starts giving doctor 30 million. Doctor pays off his debt to Nishikis tough and runs? Or is it Nishiki asks for Heart, Doctor falls into debt to Nishiki's tough for what ever reason, and uses Nishikis money to pay that off and runs?

Are the Yakuza games always surrounding a mysterious mcguffin like, "The Empty Lot" or "The Ten Billion"?

Is Dragon Style useful? Even midway upgraded it doesn't seem to have much use, because the other styles just do everything better.


dragon style owns when you get the speed upgrades and everything else like the group fighting and group heats. its worth it, soon as i got the speed upgrades i barely used the other styles.

Akira Yamaoka does NOT gently caress around in the Colosseum. If the preview shows you're going to fight a guy using "Self-Taught Kenpo" back out and try again. He's Komaki except all his attacks come out at triple speed and I'm pretty sure he has more health and attack power too. He makes for a pretty powerful Clan Creator goon if you beat him though.

i like how in the new theme tune for cabaret mini game now has the "yakuza riff" in it. the same one that's in the track that plays from 0 when you're kicking rear end during the end of chapter 1 and in the kuze theme. whats the source for that riff? seems to pop in alot of the tracks trough 0-k2 but since i started with 0 i have no idea what the original version was.

I think the blurriness is by far the biggest problem with Yakuza 4. I can deal with 720p, 30 fps and the occasional aliasing (which I never thought was a huge issue with Yakuza 4), but the blur just makes the whole thing look like a mess. I think it was meant to make the visuals appear less jaggy and did a decent job on that front, but... well, just look at this:



That's the game running at its native 720p resolution using PS3 component cables. HDMI would be slightly sharper, but thanks to HDCP it's a pain in the rear end to record.

wait, isn't that where the takoyaki place usually is? they turned it into some ice cream dairy death dump in the future? that's some loving bullshit, man.

also love how you can recognize street locations like your own actual home town. yakuza is the best.

i can't find it in a non-lovely version on youtube because of quasi piracy but awano from y0, played by takeuchi riki, had a great appearance in one of the gaki batsu games ten years ago. he does his tough guy yakuza act while introducing himself as "takeuchi yuko", a popular female actress who is like the opposite of a swaggering tough guy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWixNXfgEXk&t=318s

takeuchi was also the judge in "endo's pervert trial" where during a segment where the comedians time travel back to feudal japan (long story) they end up watching a series of court trials, before one of them is dragged before the judge to answer for his crimes of sending just cringingly bad and awkward sexts to women and just acting like a terrible creep show in general. also his family is there and his ex wife

Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise platinum acquired! Final time: 160:22:50 with 83.90% in-game achievements earned. Extra Hard actually got hard by Chapter 11, because enemies like crossbowmen could deal up to a tenth of my health bar with a single arrow so I had to start using Ki Bursts and instant kills/techniques to clear the areas.

My collection of Yakuza Studio platinums is progressing nicely! Out of all the Western-released Yakuza games, I'm missing Zero, Kiwami 1, and I haven't even played Kiwami 2 yet. I think when I feel up to playing a Yakuza game again (in a few months) I'll go back and replay Zero on Legend, get that 100% achievement rate, add that to the collection. Does the completion rate carry over? I'm actually kinda hoping it doesn't because I want to start on Legend with nothing.

in yakuza ps2 have i hosed up getting amon? i got the stuff about meeting with yayoi dojima before the whole lau stuff, which in kiwami doesnt happen until the last chapter, which makes way more sense, but i figured since its a substory i'll just do it in chapter 10 after the car chase. but now i dont have the option to meet up and the florist said that the ex-dojima guys are no longer a problem? can i do it after the shinji/reina stuff or have i hosed up? i assumed you couldn't miss anything but wondering if that came in later games?

3 and 4 are older engines, theyll just look like a chunkier version of 0, they feel the same tho. 5 is the same engine as 0 so that will 100%

playing through 3 after kiwami 2 recently and it was a tad jarring for 5 seconds but still played as good. then again i am a weirdo who doesnt get fased by that kinda stuff.
