Time for a Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku thread

Time for a Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku thread.

Thinking of importing a new copy of Kiwami. Will it have a code for 6's demo?

All copies do I believe.

On PSN, it says that if buy kiwami before some time in 2017, you will have access to the demo. So I assume physical copies still carry that code as well.

How can we powerlevel our knowledge of japanese as quickly as possible so we can understand RGG games?

Any good idea for a regimen?

Does anyone here know what to do to unlock all of the dragon of dojima(RED) moves in Kiwami? I already finished the komaki missions and got majima to rank S.

Also to those who care, the PS3 version runs better than Zero except for the boat fight.

>Also to those who care, the PS3 version runs better than Zero except for the boat fight.

Which is funny considering Zero run better than Kiwami on PS4

Seriously? What makes it better? Might just pick it up for PS3 then since my PS4 doesn't get much use anyway.

Oh fuck, get it for ps4 if you have one. Im just saying that Kiwami on ps3 has less framedrops than Zero on PS3.

Both games ps4 version are 1080p 60fps so if your ps4 doesnt get use, go get those games and make it used.

For your health

Is it bad that I genuinely liked the Haruka part in 5?

No, it was a good change of pace, and the story in the Haruka section was suprisingly good, especially when Akiyama showed up

I was hoping to get my Kiryu figma this month to snap some nice autumn photos with him but Max Factory is at it again and moved the release date from late August to god damn December. I just hope it'll at least shorten the gap between Kiryu and Goro's figures' release dates.

I feel you on that. I was so ready to have him pose for fight scenes with my other stuff. Least he'll come with my copy of 6 now.

Probably gonna get PS4 Yakuzas too, now that PS4 Slim got announced and is already on the way. Because PS3 version of Kiwami is fine and dandy but contrast between the visuals in pre-rendered opening cinematics and gameplay is jarring to say the least.

Does Sup Forums hate Dead Souls?

English Kiwami when.
English 6 confirmation when.

I just started the first one on ps2. How long are these games on average?

Yet to play my copy but I got started on 5 already. Might give it a shot afterwards or inbetween.

Depends on how much side stuff you do. If you just blitz through the story, not long at all. Probably about 20-25 hours.

Whereas if you're a completionist and you want to 100% everything it's gonna take you 100-150 hours.

Depends on what you do. Breezing through the story should take about 10 hours or less. I'm not entirely sure. I've been averaging about 30 hours on my playthroughs and that's still missing a bunch of side stuff.

It feels more like a spin off of Yakuza 4 than it does the series, the gameplay is flawed, but fucking hell the fan service does it justice, Majima is just epic in it.

How can you hate such a charming game? It's like a gaming equivalent of Japanese low-budget gore-fest movies. And besides, it still has a lot of funny side-stories, just like in mainline series. And the gameplay is pretty fun for Yakuza's team first attempt at shooter genre.

>Baka mitai Kodomo na no ne
Also Virtua Fighter 5 and Puyo Puyo are playable in Yakuza 6.

>Jacketless Kiryu
Such a handsome bastard.

Apparently it has multiplayer too.

What M A S C U L I N E situations will Kiryu get up to next? How will his M A S C U L I N E encounter with a camgirl go? How many tokens will you tip?

She finally made it in! I'm so fucking happy.

Also, Virtua Fighter 5, Puyo Puyo and Takeshi Kitano. It's almost like Sega read my mind or something. I have a feeling 6 is going to be one of the best games in the series.

I'm so hyped, that I may not even wait for it to get localized this time (if it even does at all of course).

That fucking timing.

kek

Im so glad people don't watch me play these games

>someone walks in during a karaoke minigame

ROUGE OF LOVE

Yakuza 0 and 6 to have Pro version. Probably for the best if the Yakuza 6 demo frame rate was bad.

How does Kiryu manage to look even younger in 6 than he does in 5

>It's MachineGun Kiss

>not playing the Haruka chapter at full volume in front of everyone

WHAT ABOUT FUCKING DEAD SOULS

FIX IT SOMEBODY PLEASE

Those are upcoming games in the asian regions, not enhanced games.

That's the power of the Dragon of Dojima.

What's your favourite karaoke song in the Yakuza series, Sup Forums?

>This is Japanese Spike Speigel, Mew, Donald Duck, Beerus and many others

I'm so fucking excited for 0 I can't take it.

The multiple fighting styles and money just exploding everywhere during fights is the coolest.

I want to play as Majima badly.

HEY HEY

Yakuza 5 needs a remaster for the PS4 desperately. The slowdown and framerate drops during fights and just walking around cities is appalling.

Trying to fight as Saejima in Sapporo is awful because of the massive slowdowns, the PS3 just can't handle it.

Hi there, were you hoping that maybe you'd be able to get 100% in 6 this time?

WELL TOO FUCKING BAD
I'M HERE FOR LIFE MOTHERFUCKER

How do you get good at Mahjong?

youtube.com/watch?v=ooFoNwoMxjY

Well Sega has interest in remastering he series for PS4, apparently.

Be Asian.

I can't listen to Otomeiro my life without Kiryu's vocals. It's just not as good without the "GO GO READY GO".

At least mahjong is playable.
>mfw playing pachinko

I gotta say, being able to play Saejima smacking up Kiryu was satisfying as fuck in Yak 5, I like both the characters equally, but there something about swinging the main MAIN dude by his arm and bellringing him which is too good to pass up.

>Mahjong
>Shogi
>Koi Koi

Watch Akagi and try to understand
Also cheat

>Shoji in any of the games
I must be retarded because I just can't do it. Is it like chess or something?

Panchinko, man fuck that, fuck everything.

Well, at least they aren't tied to fighting Amon, unlike in 3 I think it was

Does Akagi actually explain the rules or do you just have to pick it up? Been thinking of reading it.

It's autistic japanese chess, yes.

It literally is Japanese chess.

Can someone tell me why it took so long for us to play as Majima in his combat form? Sega knew that he was the most liked character from Yakuza 1 onwards, yet us folks in the west had to wait a decade to play as him proper, wtf...

>Haruka singing Konnan with Kiryu, Akiyama, Saejima and Shinada cheering her on

I love it.

youtu.be/mnpEVitf-gM

Shoji is even more fucking complicated than chess because when you capture a piece, you can redeploy it as your own. Most games never see to their conclusion, and end is a side forfeiting. Fortunately there's always someone who figures out how to make the AI say fuck it.

He's playable in Dead Souls.

How do you actually play Pachinko? It seems really confusing.

Because he was a plot device for Saejima in 4 and 5, games that had multiple playable characters.

Could you BE more entitled? Majima and Sega don't owe you anything.

>Download Shogi program for PC
>Set the AI to the highest possible difficulty
>Go to Shogi in Yakuza
>Copy the moves the NPC makes into the pc program
>However the AI responds, use that as my move in Yakuza

It's literally just a slot machine with extra steps. Feed balls into machine, balls fall into slots which win more balls. Goal is to get as many balls as possible. You have a tiny amount of control of the direction of the balls but it's pretty much all just luck. Literally just shit invented to get around Jap gambling laws.

It'll be worth it, user.

>"You will never be able to STOP ME"
youtu.be/LkIbZzNIK48

Yeah. It's funny how they get past their gambling laws with Pachinko.

I wish they'd patch in English subs for ishin so I could play it ;(

>Voiced by Miyuki Sawishiro
I want to protect her.

From my understanding, (which isn't much) you move this little lever thing and it effects the power of these little metal balls.

The goal is to get these little metal balls into a little hole.
For every ball that goes into the hole, you get a spin for the slots.
If you get a matching set of numbers, then you get more metal balls as a prize.

THE PROBLEM IS THE NUMBERS NEVER FUCKING MATCH UP!

I SPENT A SOLID 4 HOURS PLAYING THAT FUCKING CHINK GAME AND GOT A MATCHING SET MAYBE 3 TIMES!

ONE OF THOSE WAS FROM AN ITEM!

Use the English guide. It's not the same, but just read the cutscene/dialog explanations before you watch it and it's a bit easier.

You're only meant to be able to exchange the balls for prizes like stuffed toys and shit, but there's always a building across the road run by yakuza types where you can then exchange those prizes for cash.

user is currently working on Kenzan. Maybe he'll do it someday as well.

>le gamers r entitled meme

How's Nu Male's Sky doing for you?

can you really enjoy the story and character interactions that way?

Akagi starts off not knowing anything about Mahjong so you learn to play a bit as you go. The only thing it doesn't really cover is scoring which is a massive clusterfuck to learn by itself.

I'll have to try it out. I was confused when I tried it in 5.

Yeah. As long as it's off the premises, I heard it's a legal grey area.

I cum to that heat move at 6:51 every single time I watch this video.

Only a few more months until January anikis, we're all going to make it.

Honestly, I am. What I do is with major cutscenes or dialogue sections, I pause the game, read up until the gameplay would start again and then watch the cutscene, with the knowledge of what's going on, while enjoying certain things. The guide also explains certain things that are "too Japanese" for most players to understand.

youtu.be/2DgaPvv9gPs

I love how they used Reign for that whole section. It's so fucking fitting and a hype song.

youtu.be/f_60AJiVEh4

I wonder if we'll get Kiwami after 0 or 6?

youtube.com/watch?v=cAOrI1dUYEQ

I hope we get a guide for 6 early or that Salty Yen does an English translation/explanation walkthrough for it fast.

So, realistically. Will we get a western release of Yakuza 6? I need that game so badly, but I can't just play the japanese version using a guide. Tried that with Ishin and it just wasn't that great for me.

Bamco did it perfectly. Released God Eater remake as free bonus for preordering God Eater 2.
But now that Yakuza 2 remake is pretty much happening, I hope we'll get something like 1&2 remake collection.

Probably depends on 0's sales. 5 must have gone well enough, it was on the top of the PSN web store for a while.

I'd say we have a decent chance. It's probably going to be a long wait though. I mean we haven't even gotten Kiwami yet.

Yeah, I'm hoping for something like that too. I doubt they'll do it, but that'd be a great way to entice newer fans. They'd get the first and last game. They should have bundled 0 and Kiwami in one pack in the west.

At least Kiwami is an easier job. They just have to improve the old translation from 1 and make it accurate.

Only because of performance issues and everyone playing the same. It's impossible to completely hate due to all that fanservice. I mean come on, Ryuji is in and he has a gun arm like Barret.

Kiryu is so handsome even middle aged Japanese men are swooning for him

It's actually possible unlike the Samurai games. All depends on how well Zero performs

Might not be enough. Kiwami has a lot of new content and probably rewrites.

At least it's a startin point. I haven't played 1, but that was really westernised, wasn't it?

STUPID
OLD
FUCK

It's the only one in the series to get an english dub. They also changed some of the names to make them more "westerner-friendly" which didn't get fixed until 4. e.g. everyone calls Kiryu by his given name "Kazuma". Which is dumb because he's the only character they do that for.

Kill this arrogant moth er fuck er

Yakuza 1 actually has the most weeaboo translation so far, including not translated "oyabun". Though they changed 2 main characters names and tried to fit translation for dub with Japanese mouth animations.
