at least I'm not the only one enjoying this amazing game. fuck I cannot recommend it enough, especially to people who remember the ps2's golden age

>tfw Kaoru was only in one game

It's my GOTY. Being such a hardcore fan just makes 0 so much sweeter.

Cabaret management is the shit. I love dressing up my girls.
Not fair. Even worse, her VA has like no other roles that are known.

she was in 3 for 5 nanoseconds

I wasn't going to buy this because I was excited for Nioh but I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it much more than I did Nioh. Yakuza 0 is the true second PS4 game.

Oda-San > Majima-kun

I only played one other game way back when, can't even remember. had a young girl in most of it. loved it then but wasn't able to pick up any others. 0 though is ridiculously amazing imo, so much content, top notch VA work, well worth the price of admission

>rival battle with club mars
>expect to win handily
>he wins with a 4 mil difference

literally reloaded my save right there, that shit was humiliating losing to that fat fuck.

Get the fan number up to about 1600 and you can steam roll him.

yeah, i took no chances, i got it up to 2000 and won with 17 mil profits the second time.

yuki-han is also best girl. glad her substory had a happy, lighthearted ending.

How the hell do you do heat actions with Rush style

Also the only other game I played was 3, but the heat actions seemed WAY more violent and over the top in 3 than 0.

are there level recommendations for the hostesses or are the battles all about how many fans you have?

So the catfight thing is entirely RNG bullshit isn't it? I keep redoing the mission so I can beat the gambling king but every time the same thing happens.

I do okay and then the AI says "Fuck it im cheating you lose" and just beats my ass. They suddenly start picking every opposite of mine and no matter how fucking FAST I tap the AI wins because fuck me I guess and every attack that lands is fucking massive while I win four and do just as much damage as a single one of theirs.

...

It literally tells you how to do them in the abilities menu when you press triangle
nah. get all/most of the partner shops, do 5-10 nights of business. make sure your hostesses are in great condition for the battle.

>every losing a cabaret battle

I didn't even get any of the business partners or girls from sidequests and did the cabaret battles as soon as I got them and never lost one, or even got close to.

>So the catfight thing is entirely RNG bullshit isn't it? I

yup. rng. i got lucky on mine

>tfw nobody fell for my oda vs majima bait

what went wrong?

American dick.

git gud. I won on my first try in every battle.

>unlocked golden gun
>never even use it because regular combat is more fun

What specific part in the story was Majima's turning point?

no fuck him

when he cucks himself

>Didn't even make it into Top 10 PS4 games when Berseria did
Yakuza was never meant to be popular

I opened/ran the club for two hours. The club was ranked B before I started competing. Then I had to play a bunch of chapters in the game before I could officially go against Club Moon. I had 55,000 fans yet wasn't allowed to compete in the chapter I was in.

When you're managing the club as Majima, how do you attend to a table where there's a problem? I never figured out how to do that?

Also what are the rankings of Triangle, Circle, Cross, which is higher or lower?

Feels legitimately horrible. Yakuza was in GameFaqs top ten list for half a week, then it fell off the chart.

>Help!
>Check please!
Press triangle to attend. Press X to switch out girls. In battles, I just continually moved the controller, while spamming triangle.

select table and press triangle. That's basically how you attend any problems and request from hostess.

You only press x when you assign a hostess to a table.

>Help!
>Check please!
lmao

Thanks

>I just continually moved the controller, while spamming triangle.

I just wait until they need help before moving.

Why am I so fucking bad at disco

Cross is the worst

Triangle is in the middle

Circle is good

Circle inside a circle is the best

Beat Yakuza 3, 4 and 5. Playing 0 now and it's amazing. 5's story shit the bed half way around the Haruka mark, ending and final boss was dog shit, felt nothing compared to 3 and 4.

I'M FUCKING SICK OF MAHJONG HOLY SHIT

WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP GETTING KEKED OUT OF MONEY
HOW THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE KEEP DECLARING RIICHI ON TURN FUCKING THREE
WHY CAN'T I DECLARE RIICHI YET STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S DISCARD TO DECLARE RON WITHOUT CHANGING A SINGLE THING

I WANT TO SHOVE A COIN UP THE SLANT-EYED CHINESE FUCKER WHO CAME UP WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT GAME

THESE SHITTY ASS TILES AREN'T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO DECORATE MY BATHROOM WITH

JESUS FUCKING SHIT I'VE NEVER BEEN SO ANGRY AT ANY VIDEO GAME BEFORE

I used to be really bad at it until I started using the music more than the visuals

Thanks. I have no idea why the game never tells you this in the tutorials though

>WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP GETTING KEKED OUT OF MONEY

lmao

>Yakuza 0 not on the list
>FFXV and RE7 are
fuck this gay earth

Majima was such a composed and well written character in this game, that when you go back to the earlier games he's literally a completely different person. They had his character as comic relief, but now that kind of fucks with 0's narrative. I wish he could have stayed the way he was at the end of 0. Not a complete nutcase. Yes, I know he's merely pretending, but it's his persona 99% of the time so it's obviously part of him.

Just started playing as majima, saw mr shakedown and tried to save before fighting him, lost and reloaded the file. Mr shakedown was gone

Yeah, this game has some spooky shit in it. There's videos circulating that Mr Shakedowns are basically your inner desires, so when you fight him, you're actually the one shaking down people on the street.

Yeah, as 0 is my first Yakuza game I was pretty shocked at his outfit change at the end, I look it up and he actually looks looks like that for the entire series, what the fuck? That hair and jacket is atrocious.

Majima never had this big of a role in the Yakuza series. Whenever he shows up in other games, it's usually just as a boss fight. He's mostly comedic relief. 4 and 5 give him a couple scenes where hes normal, but it's nothing compared to how he was in 0.

>tfw I want to buy a PS4 just for yakuza 0 and nioh
>tfw im sure that im going to regret it

Im a wagecuck and 60$/game sounds fucking expensive after steam.

How is that mahjong coming along user?

You got all the challenges right?

cause yakuzas fans are all classic niggas and only buy physical

I wish majima had it this easy.

How the fuck does that shakedown have that much money?

just repeated fights?

>just beat game after doing all substories and at 90% completion

guess I'll go emulate yakuza 1 then

how many hours?

f you have kazuma's deeper shackdown pockets you get 1.5 the amount when you beat one. So get some money lose to him then go fight him win and you'll have his original plus all of yours multiplied by 1.5.

why do western people hate this game so much?

Dang, thanks for the advice. I still need to grind out some more CP for kiryu since I got everything on majima

Guess I can just farm real estate for money to lose to that big fuck

Was Majima raped by Shimano?

As someone who skipped gen 7, has been a steam fag for 10 years, and who has never played a yakuza game in my life...

I actually bought a ps4 for kingdom hearts ONLY, but saw this game and literally bought it on a whim. If you have a ps4 but haven't played yakuza 0, you simply must.

yes that's the best way also when they lose enough their default money is over a bil. If you get bored of doing it buy a slime gun it destroys them.

I heard slime gun was amazing against them.
Why is that? I have never used the thing honestly

I haven't the slightest idea I just started using it and two shots gets rid of one bar.

Does anyone have any tips for the disco minigame? I have to fight Gambling King and I keep getting obliterated. I usually get around 4000 points on both easy and normal, while he gets 6000 somehow.

How can you get fever twice in one song?

>HOW THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE KEEP DECLARING RIICHI ON TURN FUCKING THREE
This is just a problem in general, the NPCs in the gambling games have the most insane luck imaginable.

I've had guys in Cee-lo get 4-5-6 or triples three or four times in a row as dealers, while I've thrown 1-2-3 twice in a row on more than one occasion. I've had guys in Koi-koi get nothing but emperors, the two cards for moonlight, and the red moon on their first draws. Every person on Mahjong declares Riichi within three to five turns guaranteed while you're sitting there with a hand that is barely salvageable and all over the place with the enemy discards being dragons you actually need to make a hand or the wind that would help you win. Then there's those assholes running the reverse baccarat game getting 9-1's or always getting 2s when they're at 7s but you getting even close to a 9 is like pulling teeth and you either get a face card or go immediately over. Nearly all my losses to a dealer in that are because I get face cards when I desperately need anything 4 or higher while they sit at 7-9 without even having drawn a third card.

Hell, even on Blackjack those cunts somehow manage 21s like it's nothing and you sit there with a thumb up your ass sitting on 18s as they draw on 15 and land 19+ almost every time. I've seen the NPC dealer get closer to 21 from 15+ than I've ever seen then bust out in any of the games so far.

Just keep at it, at least it's not Haruka asking you to do things.

>finished 0 and finally moved on to GR2
>it feels lacking in comparison
Damn

>That moment where they reveal that Tachibana has the bat tattoo
>The fakeout when it turns out Oda was the one to actually do it
HORY SHEEEEIT

I was so fucking confused at that reveal

Media King right? You and me both. The one time I make it to 6000+ the fucking cuntflap goes and gets like 7300.

The only thing I've found useful is that since I tend to lose my rhythm if I try and cram in as many steps as possible every time I move, during the parts of the song where the symbols are popping up two squares from each other, I move just the two squares for the first target, and then every second one I go the long way around the target square and try and get in as many steps as I can (normally 6-8). It sort of helps me keep the beat to do it like a one-two-chachacha kind of thing rather than just PPPFPFFTTTBLBLLL all over the board.

Ironically I figured I'd just savescum the disco challenge to save myself more real estate grinding but I've been putting off playing it because I know I've just got disco bullshit to look forward to. I might as well just take the 10% hit, just shits me knowing how close I've come.

Yeah Media King, my bad. Fuck I just hate how this whole minigame works, if it was pressing the buttons it would be manageable, but having to squeeze in steps just kills me.

>you will never see Kiryu bury the Tojo Clan himself

Yeah, I just can't keep the beat when you have to start getting more complicated to win. I still sorta like the game, I'm just really bad at it.

Good luck with it man.

Try to complete the songs without using fever, fever can sometimes mess up your rhythm and if you can keep up your combo you will actually get more points without it.

Pretty happy I did it the other way around.
