We have new eps recorded! Enjoy! Also sorry for the Patreon ad I'm gonna try not to mention it too much in the videos I post on SA. I just wanted to get it out there once (but also please support us).

I really hope that stolen wallet quest is something that can occur at any point in the game so you can bump into her early, walk off when you're supposed to check your inventory, then return presumably days or weeks later in game time to finally check your pockets.

I couldn't beat the Death Bowler either. You'll be glad to know (as I was) that you just have to finish the substories in this game, not complete them, to get the secret boss. Just gotta take them all on (there are a lot) and finish the special training and Hitman missions. Not saying more about those right now, but trust me, they're fun.

And you didn't eat for nothing, it's one more dish towards eating all the dishes (there is a prize for that).

There are two Heat Actions with Pliers, I think it's the only weapon with multiple Heat Actions. And yes, you can get them in future fights. The other Action is even better than the one you did last video. :)

The homeless guy who knows about Kanda probably knows Kiryu from Kage's network and Kiryu put feelers out offscreen with them.

The confrontation with Kanda is my favorite boss battle in the game btw- how many incorrect rooms can we barge into before the actual fight? LOL.

There's always time for sight-seeing in open world games.

Also if Death Bowler's technique is any indication, it seems putting less power on the ball means it will ricochet off the pins more. So if you put max power every time the ball will just plow straight through the pins no matter where you hit and you'll just be relying on the physics moving the pins around to knock the rest down. Put less power on the ball and the ball will hit the side of a pin and bounce off, hitting the rest of them.

There indeed was a key in the parking lot just before the place Rikiya wanted to go to. If you stand at the entrance it looks like its above the sign in front of you at the rear wall, maybe one top of some kind of air conditioner or something.

Rikiya is a bit of a lovable scamp though I think its a forgone conclusion that he will at least almost die at some point.

Hope you do all the Hitmen bosses. Some of them are quite difficult and at least one is an old friend from a previous game.

The two first ones ended so oddly. Like, they say "I love you", you have sex and then you go find another girl? Definitely not the kind of guy I imagine Kazuma to be. At least the third had a proper conclusion.

"Untie the queen"


I think, although I maybe getting my games confused, that you have to buy a magazine from one of the Poppo stores and having it in your inventory (not item box) reveals secret menu items.

Apologies if you have already figured this out but I haven't watched the entire stream yet!

Yeah it's really character breaking IMO.

Notes regarding this episode:

- Talk to that musician guy in front of Millennium Tower again while taking on Hitman challenges. He gives you tips on finding and beating them. On some of the challenges, it's even required you seek his advice.

- I'm pretty sure the fifth Kanda in the VR sim is the last one, there's no swarm mode (relief IMO given the difficulty of that fight).

- Visit the Stardust area now that you've unlocked the casino. You'll like what you find, or rather who finds you.

Good news- If I recall correctly, Yakuza 3 is the only game in the series with this kind of unfortunate phobic substory.

Bad news- If I recall correctly, there are at least 2 more substories that deal with similar issues. :( You'd think they'd be above such stuff.

Thankfully the rest of the game is entertaining enough to overlook the BS, even if it does stick in your memory regardless in a bad way. :(

Hey guys. Wasn't able to record this week, so tomorrow I'll be streaming the back half of the hostess quests. Hopefully around 1PM PST.

I might also stream on Monday, but I'm not sure what I would do. I'll keep y'all updated.

You could play baseball for Monday's streaming. I don't think there's a substory associated with it, nor has it changed much since the last game, but it's there. The arcade games and UFO Catcher are also a possible idea. Or do some Hitman battles- there are a lot of those, enough to fill whole videos all by themselves. I'm sure it will be entertaining, whatever you do.

I think there might be a baseball quest, but I'm not sure I'm good enough. It requires getting a prize in the hard mode.

I'll scan through the side quest list to see what there is, though.

You're right, there is a baseball quest. I just looked it up. Good luck if you decide to go for it.

I also learned the Death Bowler offers you his afro wig if you actually manage to defeat him. Too bad Kiryu turns him down!

I mean I want to show off Amon, so I gotta get good at batting sooner or later.

If I don't get it in the hour stream I'll just record offline attempts and append a success to the archive.

Sorry, I didn't know the baseball center would be half closed. Hope it reopens later.

I've never gotten into the gambling in Yakuza- your latest video illustrates why. Funny that they took out Answer Answer- a history quiz game I would have enjoyed as a history buff and most anyone could look up information to win online- from Yakuza 3 and kept this stuff. [sigh] It really sucks also that gambling is often the only way to regularly make big money in Yakuza games.

Hope you're able to resume updates soon.

So, not sure when the next bit of content will be. I've run out of meaningful side content that AP doesn't care about besides the casino which I don't have the heart to do right now.

Scheduling is hard. I'll update y'all when I've actually got something in the pipeline.
