Policenaut posted:My personal theory is that challenging Kiryu is like some kind of practical joke for the thugs, Yakuza, and other denizens of Kamurocho. Like everyone got beat up by Kiryu when they were younger and when they get new recruits they're like "hey if you see this dude you should go shake him down it'll be easy!' and they just sit back and laugh. Also, street thugs just can't resist fighting anyone who has that old man smell.

I love how consistent Kiryu's characterization always is. Rule 1: Never compromise on anything ever. Rule 2: If something interferes with Rule 1, beat it until it stops. So I was like, hmm, a Shogi parlor, I don't remember that, this seems like an interesting game ...

Captain Walker posted:I'm surprised to see so few people complaining about this minigame. It's like they took Saejima's dojo from 4 and removed everything that had an element of enjoyment or player control to it. I mean, it's pretty upfront rock/paper/scissors that lets you try to button mash to resolve a tie. I'm not sure what's to bitch about, you know exactly what you're getting after you play it once. You also can get such a dumb amount of money from real estate that I don't think anyone is too bothered by losing a few million on Rumble Roses Salty Bets. You also can easily save scum it if you're not to the point of burning money yet. The first time I played it, I went outside, saved, plunked down 10 million which was most of my bankroll at the time, and won like 50 million back. Thanks weird porno librarian looking lady! Then I never played it again.

ImpAtom posted:From what I can tell: I think it also helps on extension if the girl fits his other criteria. Like a guy may get purple happy face if he came in looking to party and you gave him high party skill, but if he also prefers cute and the girl is an X on cute he's less likely to extend, but pretty much always would if she was double circle cute. I'm not sure if that's 100% true but what I've seen anecdotally supports it.

Ryuga Death posted:What's the max level for the hostesses? Also, one of my bronze hostess seems to do a lot better than some of my gold hostesses in the Jupiter area. Can any hostess upgrade their rank (bronze to silver or whatever) or are they stuck that way forever? I believe level 30 is the max. They'll never change from silver to gold or whatever. I have some silvers that do better than my golds at times, especially if they are really high in one stat. I think their theoretical max will always be lower. Also, no one who isn't platinum outearns Grandma With The Hideous Shirt.

I feel like right about the time I'm a little tired of Majima or Kiryu and start thinking "I wish the game would switch to the other guy for a bit of a change," the game switches to the other guy. I've found it to be really well balanced in that way. (Not counting the week I spent on maxing out the Cabaret because I couldn't stop playing that stupid subgame)

exploded mummy posted:I did it on my second try. The key is to trigger a level 1 buff and then not really try to save up for anything higher if you can avoid it. As long as a table is in Fever mode, it's immune to the attack. Yeah always be fevering, and give the girls gifts to bring their health back. Also if any of your platinum girls aren't in top condition, take a day and run all your D-list bronze girls in a normal club run to let your real crew be at full. I beat Moon by like 20 million, it's not that bad.

Moltrey posted:Aw beans, alright yeah. I know more side quests unlock with new chapters so I'll keep an eye out, but I'm more so doing it for the fun stories where before I was doing everything out of obligation. Slot Cars game turned out more fun than I expected, especially with all the crazy 8 year old drama sidestories. Shogi can go to hell, I'm not going to bother to learn that. I enjoyed capping out the Real Estate and Caberet Clubs and that got me enough fat stacks to upgrade all the abilities I cared about plus do a good portion of the legendary trees. I'm almost done with the main story and I think I have almost all of the actual substories aside from maybe one of the telephone girls, and that's probably going to be good enough for me after I finish the story, I'm not crazy enough to need full completion on all the minigames. I can see Nioh peeking around the edge of this game at me going "I'm not going to play myself over here." ...I may come back for more Mahjong though. I think I really like Mahjong.

polish sausage posted:I gotta say it was really nice for me that outrun was in this game since it's generally one of my favorite car games ever and i still play the 3ds version and coast2coast from time to time, so the challenges were a cinch. Space harrier challenges were also easy for me but I chalk that more to me playing a shitton of it in shenmue 1. The nice thing about those games is that all you really have to do to get better at them is just keep playing. I liked Luka being all "I got a new high score on Outrun, it's 1.5 million!!  "You do know you can take it out of low gear, right, Luka? And the gas pedal is the one on the right?

Finished it at about 56% completion. I may go back and do some mop up (if only to play around with the costumes), but that's about it for me. What a great game. Now the wait for Kiwami begins. Have they given any hint of doing a similar remake with #2?

Captain Walker posted:I feel like Majima in general has a really hard time with enemies that block, at least without using Heat actions. If you're in Thug style you can grab but that takes forever, and don't ask me how the hell you're supposed to break through in Breaker style. Bat style's nunchucku thing with the bat itself murders the gently caress out of people who try to block, especially if you unlocked the ability to make that move last longer.

Could only play for about an hour tonight, but I’m enjoying it so far. Lots of good characters, and the battle system is actually more engaging to me than my usual “just mash it out and drink a lot of staminan” style. Will have to see if it holds up, but fun so far!

I don't know if I would have been able to play one of the old Yakuza games with the dub, I'm too used to hearing Kiryu in Japanese, but for these new characters I like it. I don't care if I go to jail, I will serve my time stoically and not rat out the family like a true Yakuza.

Simone Magus posted:Kiryu has about him the simplicity and naivety of the true zen hero Kiryu was always bound and somewhat blinded by his overly romaticized idea of what a Noble Yakuza should do (even though he isn’t actually even in the Yakuza for most of the games). Ichiban is the same, except it is his idea of what a Dragon Quest hero should do. Which makes him even dumber, but still very likeable.

Now, given what I'm reading about Chapter 7, I'm thinking that needs to be one of my first orders of business once I get out of said endless Chapter 6 dungeon. On your map, there is a button to bring up a list of places. Look for Ichiban Confections in the shops.

Deified Data posted:Anybody else have that problem in games like this where they'll give you opportunities to break away from the main story and do side content for a while, but things in the story are way too urgent to be put off and it kinda breaks your immersion to try doing side content when, say, someone's being held hostage or being chased by assassins? I'm in chapter 10 or 11 and it feels like the story hasn't given me a chance to come up for air in a looong time I do the opposite, I always wander off to do side poo poo at the earliest possibility. Which leads to situations in most games where it's like "WE HAVE TO GO SAVE BETTY, SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED" and I go screw around for six months and then when I return to the main quest I show up in a suit of ultimate power armor with a +17 sword of instant decapitation and the midboss is there with a couple of daggers going "oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck"

I'm a simple man, I leveled everyone to get all of the easy attainable cross-class skills (basically everything like level 12 or below), and then dumped everyone into a class where their normals regain MP so I could spam skills all the time. So I been running Fortuneteller/Host/Hostess/Idol (Nanba spoiler and Homeless Guy when he is around) for most of the game. Of course, cross-leveling all those classes early means I've been ridiculously overlevelled for most of the game, I think I was like level 30 in chapter 6, so it hasn't much mattered what I do for a long time now. As for AOE, the shield bash one in Enforcer is cross-classable, has a surprisingly wide range, and you get it at level 4 or 6, I forget which, so you can get it in like two minutes. For the ladies, I think I've been using the Night Queen kick, although for the party member in Idol she usually hits the "all enemies defense way down plus charm" button first.
