who the hell pays 50 dollars for a fucking ps2 game

Hardcore fans do, that's what. Gotta complete that collection. 50 dollars for a brand new sealed copy is a steal compared to how expensive some used copies of 2 got.

Majima deserves a happy ending

I was considering but then I totally remembered emulation is a thing

Mahjong is killing me. I can't move on unless I get that straight.

>$49 for some old piece of shit game

What the fuck

KOI NO DISCO QUEEN
EXCUSE YOU? NO, FUCK YOU!

...

thank the fucking lord, i can finally get 2

this is funny and all but I wish some of the other sub stories would get posted, many of them are just as great as this

they are perfect for "guess the game" threads.

>you recruit a chicken as a real estate manager
>you help a kid get his first porn mag from a vending machine

Just when I thought I was going to get Nioh, you just had to tell me they have 2 for $49.

I just started on 0 as my first yakuza and if buying this means support for more yakuza, then this is a definite buy for me.

>tfw don't have the money to buy both 1 and 2 right now.

I really hope they last until I get some money.

Glad to hear it bro. It really is a great series,

Thinking of getting into this series soon, I have a buddy who just finished 0 who says it wouldn't actually be a bad idea to play it first as far as following the story goes. Should I go for chronological order like he suggests, or release order?

Majima's Climax Battles are brutal. I don't know if it's possible to complete some of these without anymore than 4 seconds left on the clock.

Which games are subbed?

I don't want to buy a game that's nippon only

Release order is recommended as you won't feel so jarred going from 0 to 1 (PS2 version), However, Kiwami is a remake of 1 that's coming this summer for the PS4 with gameplay similar to 0's.

If you don't care for the shift in gameplay, yeah 0 is a good place to start since it is a prequel to the rest of the series

Play Yakuza Dead Souls first.

check the pastebin.

I was planning to play Kiwami instead of 1 either way, hopefully jumping from that back to 2 isn't too rough.

If it's anything like jumping from 4 to 1 it's going to be a nightmare.

pastebin doesn't say if yakuza 2 is subbed

Nah, it's not that big of a jump. Many fans, including me, are expecting a Kiwami 2 down the line. It's also one of the best games in the series,

it's subbed. all of them are subbed except 1, which was dubbed.

nevermind, I missed the sentence that says "Available in English" somehow

Confirm Y/N?
This does support sega, correct?

>on chapter 9
>trying to finish up all of the Real Estate stuff with Kiryu before I advance the story
>only missing one Media King building, it's the Pocket Racing shop
>spend some time completing all of the races, only need to do three more: the last race, and two against the best racer RC Fighter
>can't beat any of them because I'm missing the best motor
>can only get the motor from 1 million yen dream machines
>spend the next 5 hours circling around town for dream machines and didn't get jack shit

If these are recent reprints, yes. If they're the same copies from years ago that JADD ENTERTAINMENT has been holding on to, probably not.

So they actually still reprint ps2 games? I heard about the ps1 final fantasy games being reprinted in the 2010's.

My Yakuza 1 disc seems to have reading problems on my fat ps2, yet my fat ps3 reads it fine.

I may get a new copy.

Guys, I'm trying to get Yakuza 4 & 5, but to my understanding Yakuza 5 was never brought in the West, is that correct?

It was brought to the west digital only last year.

On PSN ps3 only.

how do I know if they're recent reprints or not?
OP says 1-3 are, but 4 isnt then?

>that translation
This game was fucking butchered with all it's SJWisms and made up tumblr lingo.

>Guide for newcomers.
>Contains spoilers in the first segment.

>Yakuza 0 was supposed to come in Friday
>didn't come in
>just got an email saying it wasn't going to get here until the 13th
>my comfy weekend playing Yakuza 0 is ruined
fucking amazon

I just completed all the Climax Battles and, as far as I can tell, the only reward is the silver trophy. So beware of that...

>some user six Y0 threads back complains about how impossible getting 100,000 points in Fantasy Zone is
>got it on my third attempt

I wish that user was here now so I could laugh at him. I never even played Fantasy Zone until that challenge.

>The only game I don't already own is Yakuza 3
GODDAMNIT
I JUST HAD TO BUY A NEW FUCKING LAPTOP DIDN'T I

Well, guess it's back to eBay hunting for a good used copy

Guys its going to feel really sad going back to Y1 and Y6 after 0.

Yakuza 0 really is the pinnacle of this series storytelling.

Even the most egregious plot twists of this game aren't as stupid as the stuff that happens in Y1, one of the better stories of this series.

khhsubs.com/rggzero/pocketcircuit.html

Use that. I think it's all parts you can buy. Check the substory list for help with those races too.

Neat, thanks. Take a look at this tomorrow next time I play.

I want to to 100% this game, but I'm dreading some of these minigames

Guys, which story is dumber

Y4 or Y5

Y4 by a mile. Y5 goes to some weird places, but it all comes together nicely enough.

Y4.

Yakuza 5 is probably Yakuza storytelling at its most convoluted, but i feel like Y4 has the dumbest storytelling decisions in the series.

I also feel like Y5 storyline begins to fall flat in the last moments of the game while Y4 begins a downward slop into stupidity halfway through game after a strong start.

I just did the mahjong ones myself. Those were the worst so far. The chinese gambling ones were pretty easy but I'm dreading the pool carom shot stuff.

I haven't done too many of the minigames yet, but mahjong is the one I'm dreading the most. I've got 10 strikes in bowling easy, did the 5 shogi wins with no take backs, and as mentioned earlier, nearly done with pocket racing. Haven't attempted anything else seriously yet.

I'm most mad about playing Space Harrier though. I got 4.8 million on my first try in chapter one and haven't gotten close to the few times I've tried doing it since

I want to fuck the pleasure king

I only found out after 30 mins of playing, but the prompt for declaring richii doesn't show. So you should just press square every turn to see if you can do it.

Also everyone should watch Akagi before playing it so that it's more enjoyable.

>They've got reprints of 1, 2 and 3 on amazon right now. 2 is available for $49.


Any reprints of other hard to find and rare expensive games?

Would love .hack// xenosaga wild arms onimusha haunting ground and rule of rose

Silent hills too

The pool shots only took me half an hour. There's generally an opportunity for one after a break shot, or if you let the AI get down to the 8 ball so you can place the cue anywhere if they don't sink the 8.

I want clock tower and fatal frame

I'm so surprised we didn't get a single fight against Sagawa.

I miss when this series was more obscure.
Another victim of the meme generation

>"It's popular now, meaning it's retroactively shit"

Marry your throat to a shotgun.

If the price of a good coherent story is shitty pictures being made about it sign me up kyodai.

So the Dojima clan are the best antagonists in the series right?

Gouda is a very strong single antagonist but the rest of the Omi clan isn't much.

People who were alive when the ps2 released

I can't partner with any properties in the moon area for majimas carberet club... but I can everywhere else. am I fucked? pic related as there's no 'look' option on any of the places I should be able to buy.

I never said it's shit, I just missed when it was less known

I got the Dream Machine motor and gear and they're too fast so it makes the last races almost impossible.

I used the gospeed moto on the first race not knowing how the minigame worked or how fast the car would go. Needless to say I think I died laughing at kiryu's expression when my car literally flew off the track at light speed.

Same, it was on the last lap too.
I'm gonna have to get the 100 mil one eventually.

real niggas

You can only do that after completing the other areas first.

thanks user idk how i missed that
