Apologies if this has already been asked and covered to death, but it’s a big thread; if yakuza 0 is the only game I’ve ever played, will yakuza 6 make sense and be enjoyable, or is this the kind of series that you really have to play in order?

History Comes Inside! posted:You're better off playing it in order otherwise you're going to be missing huge chunks of backstory, 6 in particular starts leading directly on from the very end of 5. Alright, thanks; I think I'll hold off and play through the rest then (hopefully 3-5 get re-releases in a timely fashion). I started Kiwami but the combat's a little...not great, compared to 0. Which I understand, of course, but still. Is there any reason to use Dragon style until I start getting it upgraded with Majima fights, or should I just avoid it entirely for now?

The video parlor was creepy but I enjoyed the name of the achievement you got from it. And at least you could skip the actual videos. The phone dating service, on the other hand, I never finished because I play on a large tv near windows that face neighbors

Synthbuttrange posted:Finally got the Dragon of Dojima in Y0. Yeah the real estate game went on just a little too long. I suppose this is at least part my fault but I hit a point where I still had real estate to do, and nothing else, so I just ended up reading a book while the timer ticked down. After how brokenly OP majima’s style was, i was expecting great things for Kiryu but uhh, unless i was using it completely wrong it’s just brawler, but maybe not as good? The big advantage seemed like it was the ability to dump money into stat boosts, which is nice, sure, but majima’s style was so much cooler.

Onmi posted:You really are missing the power of DoD. It's main weakness is being supremely slow when you aren't at 3rd gear, but it's really easy to be a monster. Yeah, I'm sure I just never bothered to really learn how to use it correctly. Also, I think I went through the entire game without really understanding how the heat gauge works; I had been playing under the assumption that it's just a bar that you build up, and then spend on one-shot powerful attacks, but it turns out you can also benefit from just building the bar up and keeping it high? Well, good to know for Kiwami and onward, I suppose Still, not as embarrassing as accidentally finishing my first run of MGS3 without once using CQC

I’ve started kiwami after finishing 0. The thing I miss most so far is enemies exploding into money when I beat them. Does that come back in 2? Also I found mesuking and wow this game got a lot hornier a lot faster than 0 did And does this game have a business-running aspect like 0 did or can I just spend all my cp at the clown right away and not worry about it?

Agent355 posted:The end of each chapter keeps hinting that I'll be able to earn money from business ventures but I haven't managed to do it yet. Just keep playing, each character gets a business eventually through the main plot. I finished Kiwami 1; on the whole, pretty, pretty, pretty good, but not as good as 0. The whole climax heat action thing got pretty tiresome pretty fast. I've only played up past the intro in 2 and taken my first steps into kamurocho but I'm liking what I see so far, it's pretty as hell. I'm enjoying Kiryu as an action movie hero, and I'm choosing to pretend that the part where he slaps haruka didn't happen and am mentally replacing it with the scene where he rescues the puppy from gangsters. As someone who never played a yakuza game until 0, which was my first, Majima I'm having a harder time figuring out; he feels inconsistent (or at least certainly very different) from what he was in 0, and also in (what i assume to be) the original canonical appearances in 1 (I'm guessing the batting cages and shangri-la were his original scenes?). I've decided to just not think about it too much Ainsley McTree fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 3, 2018 |

And Tyler Too! posted:I finally finished 0's story and what a wild ride that was. I really didn't like Majima's legendary fighting style until I realized that you can use it to stunlock bosses. Chug heatorade and you can keep them juggled in the corner while you slash them to ribbons. Yeah, majima’s legendary is sort of a one trick pony, but boy what a trick.

man nurse posted:Yes the entire series is amazing. Kiwami is a much weaker entry, mind, but they’re all worth playing. On the plus side, Kiwami is pretty short, relatively, and it doesn't have anything like that real estate or hostess club grind to keep you in it for hours and hours. I don't consider it a bad game, but it's for sure my least favorite of the three i've played (0, kiwami, kiwami 2) and I was very ready to put it down by the time it ended. And K2 is a real treat to play, following the other two.

The dagger heat animation in K2 has you jamming it into your target’s gut and then slamming it home with your knee, so I guess the guy just really knows how to miss vital organs Also how to sodomize people so hard with a pole that they puke

I did not find the fighting style to be particularly rewarding (compared to majima’s counterpart, which absolutely was) so knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have spent the time grinding it. But it’s worth checking in on periodically for free money if you’re in the neighborhood.

Policenaut posted:It's been awhile but I think you can get the Kiwami moves to stuff Shimano by that point. Kiwami 1 makes such a huge misstep by not informing you that the Kiwami moves are something you have to unlock when the tutorial makes it seem like a basic system mechanic. Yeah all the Kiwami movies can be easily purchased by then, they're the first tier of upgrades. The game just doesn't do a phenomenal job of driving home how important it is to go and buy those upgrades until you're banging your head against the shimano wall and it's too late.

Majima everywhere kind of hit that curve of repetition where it was fun at first, then it got old, but then it committed so hard to the bit that it finally became fun again by the end. I am glad it's not in K2 though.

robot roll call posted:I kind of blew through Kiwami to get to Kiwami 2 (highly recommended, Kiwami is good but 2 blows it out of the water) but I never got sick of Majima everywhere. I only got him to just under A rank though, I hear he becomes a slog after that. Yeah the regenerating health isn't hard as such, it's just annoying in that it requires you to drop what you're doing and respond to it in a very specific way (including going into the item menu if you need a heat boost, which is a small chore). It's easy enough to deal with, it just isn't fun.

I got addicted to the cabaret in K2 and grinded it as far as I could in chapter 5 and now the game says "come back after progressing the main story further". Without spoiling anything, is it going to be obvious when it's time to come back, and if not, can someone just tell me which chapter I should be waiting for?

Rotten Red Rod posted:Uh, what? "Didn't do horribly by Majima?" Sagawa literally strung Majima up and beat him like a pinata.

I know Sotenbori is tiny by comparison so there are fewer quests, it just felt wrong story-wise to screw around once you had Makoto in the warehouse. She’s got takoyaki, she’s fine

I haven’t reached chapter 11 yet and she’s also my VIP so they must be talking about someone else (assuming you mean the head mistress? Maybe there’s another grandma that’s coming) I’ve also completed the cabaret storyline so whoever you get in chapter 11, you don’t need them; I’d say that if you like the cabaret game, just go for it.

Yeah the kiwami heat moves are kind of a nuisance, and they come up more often than they ought to, but the good news is that they go away again in kiwami 2, which is also a way better game in every other aspect and is something to look forward to.
