purely speculating after about 1-2 hours (probably bigger LAD spoilers) but i am very excited to fight ichiban and the gang. i sort of hope it plays out RPG style, would be a nice transition to infinite wealth

(~3hrs) finding a way to get to the "castle" while ichiban is in a coma dreaming about dq made me smile (i think he's still knocked out at the camp? timeline seems murky after the move to sotenbori through where i've played)

DisposableHero posted:Quite a while back I had started series playthrough with 0. I got through Kiwami 1 and had started 2 but LAD came out and I got excited and switched to that. timing aside i pretty much followed this course (LAD->0->K1->K2 in progress) and the only stuff you really need to know are either things that will be part of the intro or stuff that is technically a spoiler but probably known to you if you're posting in this thread: kiryu started running an orphanage, a lot of stuff happened, then he faked his death to protect them. there's clearly plenty to be gained from being more familiar with the lore but you shouldn't be too confused on the core of the plot i will say going immediately back to sotenbori in K2 after gaiden was incredibly disorienting, i kept on tilting the camera up for no reason stuker fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Nov 22, 2023 |

Mode 7 posted:I get that this is the team's first stab at a turn based RPG system, but if Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth doesn't come with some major, major adjustments then I guess I'm done with the mainline series and that's heartbreaking. the combat system in 7 was never quite as abrasive to me so i can't say whether the changes will really solve your issues, but at least one aspect you mentioned (manual positioning for attacks) is definitely addressed in IW. and you're going to be playing gaiden anyway, so easy enough to jump into the IW gameplay demo once you finish and take the temperature

Perfect dude to get advice from about a girl you like. also in the middle of my first Y4 playthrough and i swear i dumped like 3 hours into that minigame as soon as i unlocked it i think i'm still chasing the highs of Ichiban Confections

Khanstant posted:I only did the first one before saving for the day, so I haven't dug in yet but it seems leagues better than the worst version of hostess club again just from the intro. it's got a lot of parallels to the Y3 clubs but the bro dates are a fun change of pace and it's nice to end each cycle with a fight instead of walking around the club in the same circle i didn't realize that locker keys were locked into the protag you find them with and did way too much exploring as akiyama, so missing the underground until saejima could be a blessing in disguise. you can definitely find trash in the first act but i don't think the exchange unlocks until saejima stuker fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Jan 3, 2024 |

Dr. Cool Aids posted:I'm gonna play the game Khanstant posted:Yeah I'm just gonna keep rolling. I've already picked ahead by starting the series with 7 and playing the judgement games, but at this point I am so close and I want to know the stuff so I'm just gonna do patience. I bought 5 or 6 the other day and it said some spoilery shiti n the item sunmaru that has me ?????ing so hard I can't just read the summary, gotta live through because goddamnit sounds like exactly what I've been hoping to not happen w Kiryu family unit. my course has been LAD/7>0>K1>K2>Gaiden>3>4, but i spoiled myself some on 6's outcomes just from reading up a bit to give context to 7's back half. i regret doing this, but at the time i had no idea how much i'd want to play every game in this series i'm probably gonna finish up 4 in the next couple days and i'm thinking the best move is to jump to 6 and do my best to clear it before 8 drops. 5 sounds long as hell and disconnected enough-- beyond Gaiden this is the first game i've had a chance to play on release and that seems fun stuker fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Jan 5, 2024 |

(y4 finale) everyone was that saying prison saijima was the most infuriating part of this game, and i didn't think it was that bad i definitely hosed up in not re-distributing gear ("if kiryu has it its fine he's the important guy"), but tanimura's final might destroy me e: i know my entire issue is going in with only a protective amulet plus 3 restoratives but what the gently caress man akiyama had no problem with the approach stuker fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Jan 6, 2024 |

any other series i know i’d drop the game rather than reload at that final battle phase if all i needed to do was inventory management so anyway it’s been a couple hours of finishing substories in kamurocho i’m sure i’ll get back to new serena after this next one Last Celebration posted:The final fight balancing is kinda hosed, you can realistically treat Akiyama/Saejima’s final bosses as mid bosses with all the prep work that entails, Kiryu’s final boss was significantly easier than that iirc, and Tanimura gets the crazy spectacle fight against a small army that you wanna be fully loaded up on Staminan Maxes for or have the anti-bullet armor. yep basically as you described, kinda frustrating because i want to do more mining but it’s a silly priority with how his fight goes stuker fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jan 6, 2024 |

Khanstant posted:Lmao I thought I was at the end of the game but there's another 2 guys to play lmao apparently. Still as Saejima though, noted to get the tree armour for the next guy... Why is there a next guy anyway what the hell guess I'll find out soon enough. How do I get my sacred tree items to future guys? as mentioned you'll be able to switch chars and get a unified item box once you get to the last chapter, saejima does still have to run from cops but there do seem to be fewer than where you're at pre-majima i wouldn't stress too much about the sacred tree armor items until that last chapter unless you're struggling with something, didn't feel necessary for that char's initial arc but (non-plot spoiler on how you get them) they're gated on training completion for diff chars so going through the unlock will earn you some stuff anyway. i'm not sure if any of the trainings are locked by chapter so you might not be able to complete them at the moment

History Comes Inside! posted:That’s why you put all the pieces of sacred tree armour on Tanimura before you go there my second attempt was actually pretty funny, because between all the levels/training to get the sacred tree gear (and giving stuff to chars other than kiryu) i absolutely steamrolled the first three fights and likely could have pulled off tanimura's w/o the sacred tree buff. glad i didn't have to try and do that tho

I said come in! posted:And the last few Yakuza games played really well on Deck. They didn't really require any sort of graphical sacrifices in order to have acceptable performance. And I say this as someone with really high standards for frame rate / graphic fidelity. this reminds me of something i wanted to ask the thread: did anyone here play through Y4 on deck, and if so did they run into slowdowns regularly (seemingly unrelated to how much was happening on screen)? was an issue for me to the point where i moved back over to PC, but Gaiden played just fine so i'm wondering if it's the older engine or i need to do some proton tweaking

Ytlaya posted:I get the distinct impression they may have only played Y0 and K1. i believe they most recently finished 7 from some earlier posts, and it wouldn't surprise me if that's contributing a bit to the "what if it was a reboot" mentality with the disconnect in the timeline but in 7 you don't even run into date and haruka (i think? been a while) so how do you hate them that much after just K1/2 lol

Khanstant posted:I think the plot in 4 is pretty interesting at least now that everyone's stories have finally knotted together. A lot of it ties back in to stuff from 0 and 1 in different ways but it's a little disjointed in how you experience the story and there are like 5 double crossing moments. It does put me in a spot of wishing Kiryu wasn't involved since he should be at home with his kids but at this point in the story yeah it pretty much is a Kiryu shaped job left to do. felt the same way for most of the last chapter-- the most disjointed part imo comes (pre-finale cutscene spoilers) with Daigo. RGG do their best with the pre-fight speech but it came off overwhelmingly as "well we need someone for kiryu to fight". i also think there's plenty of ground that could have been covered on his life post-Y3; the game might have been better served with a daigo arc instead of the kiryu one, as sacrilege as that feels stuker fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Jan 21, 2024 |

CHaKKaWaKka posted:Thankfully I already beat Gaiden. I had initially stopped playing 7 when I switched from PS4 to PS5 a long time ago but came back to it after beating Gaiden. I forgot that I had just changed classes on all my dudes and only had the basic weapons equipped for a series of story battles, that was an ordeal. wait i know they had the free upgrade, but is there a way to convert your PS4 saves to PS5 saves for 7? i've found myself wanting to jump back in at times, but playing through an entire vanilla game is not ideal
