God, what were they thinking with the telephone club? At least I finally got Mirei, I thought I'd never finish this. I've had better experiences with fucking catfights so far, I'm 2/2 there.

For newcomers:

Shit, sold my Alertness Hood. Should've kept it to go around all the bars and maxing them for CP.

So why did Mine do all of his shit despite being gay for Daigo?

Because he had DREAMS.

I can't get enough of Hibiki-chan.

Much better than ehehe~

Any advice on the batting center? Need to earn 10 million, I think.

Would you guys play it?

Release date for Kiwami when?

Lol, I was wondering if that was the actual dub or just PCSX2 fucking up. This dub is terrible in the best way possible.
>The random thugs on the street who shout "What the fuck?" when they see you
Can't wait to get to the second one.

>Sleeping Dogs
If Square Enix weren't working to become the biggest cunts in the business, sure.

From Yakuza 2 onwards, there's no dub.

How would I best go about seeing 40 different Heat moves? I've got 32 now. Already did that cool one on the bridge with Majima, throwing people into the water. Any moves that are easy to miss, or just tricky to do?

I'm getting impatient, the game's supposed to drop this summer but there still isn't any info, haven't felt like playing anything after beating Yakuza Zero
Buy weapons and use heat moves

>Buy weapons and use heat moves
Just had that idea too. Thanks man, will do.

Yeah, Kiwami info is way overdue. Well, it bridges the wait to Yakuza 6 I suppose.

>playing cee-lo
THESE FUCKING DICE

Can I get into this series with Yakuza 0? Really like the 80's setting

Yeah. You'll miss a lot of little gimmicks/easter eggs/cameos, but it's totally fine to start with it.

Keep in mind that going back to older titles will be harder, since 0 is better in almost every gameplay aspect.

>370220187
my nigga yakuza 0 is amazing as a start point, thats where I started and honestly it's currently GOTY for me, until P5 anyway.

>FEEL THE FORCE

For the telephone cards in 0, if I'm understanding correctly the next card of a set doesn't show up until you've got the previous one right? I always need to find A before finding B etc. Does that mean I have to explore every square inch of the city 10 billion times in a row if i'm missing several sets?

KUYASHI

Pretty much. Be sure to equip the Card Watcher if you don't already.

I feel like there would be a communication problem here since Wei Shen is from Hong Kong
That game would be filming amazing though

>got the option to roll for trips on my second turn for cee-lo
>actually get three 3's

A god.

Finally done with it. Only koi-koi and the evens/odds dice game, I think it's called cho-han left in the hobo pit.

Is there any way to buy the Yakuza 0 soundtrack in Europe? Apparently it's only distributed via fucking iTunes. Just went through the disgrace of installing that filth to find out that you can't buy from the Japanese store unless you live in Japan and have a Japanese credit card.

A tip for koi-koi.
There's an option to display info if you're close to a winning hand, and it'll highlight what cards you need for that winning hand.

Just grab the cards with the most elaborate designs.

Sweet, thanks. Actually haven't even started on it, but I appreciate any way to cut down on the time needed to finish gambling here.

>finish chapter 6
>see nishiki breaking down trying to kill kiryu to spare him from the pain he would go through if he was caught
>remember the events of 1
how could it end up like this

Just introduce another Chinese character who is fluent in Japanese and Chinese. Problem solved.

The call that saved the Tojo Clan.

Jesus, I don't know what's fucking going on. Thanks for the tip with the hand guide, that just won me a game out of nowhere. Third of the way to the CP achievement.

Could I get a Japanese iTunes gift card and register with a dummy account? The Wordpress blog uploading the Yakuza soundtacks only has Y0's soundtrack in 128kbps MP3 and it's hurting my soul.

>Farming mr shakedown on legend
Jesus christ I forgot how much of a pain this sponge was

Fuck Awano, that cocksucker.

>Yakuza game with even more screentime focused on chinks than in Yakuza 0

no

>hating cee-lo

Just picked this up 2 days ago.
Whats the best fight style?
How do you spend your money?
Ive been playing it with with weed all this time. Amazing. Karaoke is god

For newcomers? Wtf I aint playing 6 fucking series. Just need yakuza0

I was just having a string of bad luck.

>What's the best fighting style?
As Kiryu? Beast is really strong against large groups, I found Brawler more useful against single, strong enemies. Rush is kind of situational for me, but potentially really fun.

As Majima? Honestly, anything. I found myself prone to use Slugger, since the unbreakable bat is useful against enemies with weapons of their own. Breaker is hilarious though, and can sometimes be useful against groups.

>How do you spend your money?
Abilities, Real Estate, side activities like Pocket Circuit.

>I've been playing it with weed
See pic.

...

Look, he may have killed a STD-riddled ho in a disco club, but he saved Majima from being killed by Lao Gui.

Also, he's the most relatable and realistic lieutenant.

Fuck off Degenerate.

...

DUDE

Does the avarice shirt increase how much you can get from shaking down the 9 foot tall fedora?

Wei Shen never once speaks Chinese in the entire game.

>best fighting style
Depends on the situation.
Blue styles are all round styles.
Pink styles are fast.
Yellow styles are powerful.
Experiment and find out what works best for you.

>What do you spend money on?
Healing items and abilities are your priority. Buying weapons is also good so you can use unique heat actions and because guns do a lot of damage.
Just make sure you have some money left over for Kiryu so progression in the Real Estate subplot is easier.

Thanks, yea I had the same idea rush for crowds and brawler for a couple enemies.
The pic is nice but I dont get the reference.
Im still trying to find punchout or fisting artist. Whats he about.
How long did it take you to finish the game?

Drugs are cool mmmkay

I have a error titled "Cannot open file OGREVO 1" after chapter 9 in Yakuza 2. pls help

You all thought I couldn't do it. All of you. And yet, defeating the odds, I did it.

i beat yakuza 0 recently and i had some concerns with the game's finale


why wasn't kuze the final boss? shibusawa was easy as shit compared to your last fight with him in the middle of the street.

why didn't they build this whole thing up with shibusawa and kiryu? shibusawa goes on about making the title 'dragon of dojima' for himself, has a dragon tattoo similar to kiryu's, and even mirrors all of your fighting styles. all shibusawa did was some shit in the backround during the story and had little to no direct conflict with kiryu compared to kuze or even awano.

if i were the japanese video games man i'd have swapped the final kuze fight with the sewer one, and then put the sewer fight right after shibusawa. have kiryu, nishiki, and kashiwagi, makoto, etc fleeing into a sewer system only to have kuze come outta nowhere on a motorbike in one last desperate attempt to stop kiryu

kiryu has everyone flee to safety while he stays behind to fight kiryu, and after the battle, their fates are left ambiguous. game continues from there as normal

end autistic rant.

haha dude weed lmao

...

took me 70 hours of doing most if not all the substories, caberet manager, real estate manger, restaraunt eating shit

The way the game handles Shibusawa is kind of brilliant when you think about it:
Throughout the game Shibusawa is described as being the most covert and intelligent of the three lieutenants. He's the kind of guy who will strike when you least expect it.

So, to empathise this, the game has Shibusawa take the backseat during the first half of the plot, only for it to be revealed later that he was just biding his time, waiting for Kuze and Awano to fuck up before he made his move.

I don't know if that was intentional, but it's amazing if it was.

I ask again. Why is there no proper Brothel Tycoon game? I get AAA studios not wanting to risk it, but it's guaranteed to stir up some controversy that could be gold for indie devs.

Cabaret Czar is so nice, I just wish it was a fully-developed game. Preferably from Japan, don't need western tattooed whores, personally.

Use spoilers, my negro.

Just grab the soundtracks from fucking rutracker

What's the Isobe Fan good for? Can't find it in my items, nor my gear or weapons.

You use it in dancing.

But how? It's not used during Fever and I can't equip it.

do you play pc games fag ? there's this game called HunieCam Studio, by the developers of HuniePop.

I know, and it's fucking terrible. Cabaret Czar is more evolved than that. HunieCam Studio is RenPy tier in terms of development quality, plays almost exactly like Punch Club, just with different stats. I'm talking production values like Zoo Tycoon shit, with real effort beyond just busywork.

And I play mostly on PC, "fag".

kek

What does this do anyways, what a waste of money

how
what is that

its done by indie developers. No AAA game studio is going to drop 30 millions on a Prostitute Tycoon Simulator pal.

There are indie games much more involved than that though. I said that AAA companies probably wouldn't feel the need to risk it, but something that's on a technical level of Zoo Tycoon back then should be manageable nowadays. Or even just as a mod to an existing management game.

>some shit in the background
The guy was keikakuing the entire plot from behind the scenes. Remember that he had Oda on his payroll from the very start. Nearly everything that happens in the game is due to the machinations of either himself, Shimano or Kazama. Kuze was the brawn, Awano was the brains and Shibusawa was the combination of both of them.

Kuze's fine in his role because he's not so much about power as he is about pride and fighting. Dude even says the sole reason he joined the yakuza was to fight people. The last fight is pretty explicitly Kuze wanting to fight because he's finally found someone who has reawakened that old spark in him in Kiryu. Great boss material but not someone who could be considered a final boss.

honestly what would the appeal of such a game be ? unless its a porn game with lewd content I doubt people would pay to have another tycoon game, this time with 2d hookers.

I would.

I'm trying to play Yakuza 5 but man this game is so fucking boring. I guess after playing the entire series up to this one, the constant rehashing of moves, locales, characters and storyline gets a bit boring.
This one also overdoes it with gimmicky minigames and other bullshit.

I am especially struggling now that I'm playing the Haruka story. How the fuck Sega fucked up the rhythm minigame so hard after making Project Diva is anyone's guess, fucking hell, they even have Miku collectables in the game, why the fuck is the rhythm game so fucking bad? By the way, I'm not a huge fan of ParaPara which is what they were going for with the random dance battles, but fuck, was it so hard to match the movements to the music at the very least? ParaPara looks fucking retarded as a dance style but if it's not even matched to the (shitty) music it's just embarassing.

That being said, I heard Y0 goes back to good, no bullshit gameplay and a tight story, but I have to buy a PS4 for that and I don't think the console is worth it yet.

I enjoyed driving the taxi. The thing that annoyed me about Haruka's part was the writing and that there's only three songs in total, and you keep playing the same song 20 times if you want to do all side stories.

The other side stories were fine though.

My kyodai.

Majima is for _______

It's just something that Majima busts out randomly while dancing. Same with Kiryu and Ogita's fan.

Oh, sucks. I hoped it would boost my performance or something. I got a little better at disco, but I still suck at it. Barely maxed the first song on hard, the others I'm pretty much hopeless about.

Please remember to repost this when Kiwami come out

>Remember that he had Oda on his payroll from the very start

I still wonder how exactly this benefit Oda

Use spoilers, cunt.

Oh yeah, y'know just your general yakuza lieutenant punching holes in walls, he is my favorite though for how dumb and likable he is, also
>Lao Gui best assassin in Asia
>Shoots Awano multiple times in the body
>Doesn't just shoot him in the head to preserve ammo
What a chode.

Not as much of chode as you are for not using spoiler tags.

Awano was a tank, so one bullet probably wouldn't have been enough.

Can whoever posted the story in the last Yakuza thread about an old lady making ice cream in Osaka and eating it near a business man share the tale again?

I don't even need to search for this song, it's perpetually stuck in my Youtube front page

...

Kill yourself. An attempt was made, and it failed.

wat, I don't remember this and I'm sure I was on every thread

Oda tells you exactly what happened. He was a human trafficker. When Tachibana figured out that Oda had sold his sister to the Korean mafia he would've flipped and that would've been it for Oda. Oda was gay for Tachibana and could not allow this to happen so he sold out to Shibusawa to help them find Makoto so she'd die and there'd be no risk of what he did getting to Tachibana.

I think it was two weeks ago when everyone was talking about how similar in game locations were to real places in Japan.

I know all of this but I feel like in the end Shibusawa wasn't helpful for Oda at all and just fucked himself over

Not like Oda didn't fuck himself over first by reaching turbobeta levels I didn't think were possible

Wouldn't Ryo be able to translate?

Complete the real estate minigame and you get the option to build a solid gold Kiryu in the real estate office for the low price of 10 billion yen

How do I beat Mr shakedown?

By getting good.

Alternatively, by getting Slime Guns and Zap Guns.

Buy zap/slime guns and a spicy knife. Shoot him with the guns to build heat then use the knife. If you kick him right after using the heat move you might be able to get some more heat moves out of the knife. Rinse and repeat

You deal damage to him until he loses

I just beat Yakuza 3 last night - Mine a shit, he's totally gay for Daigo and I'm glad he fucking died

Furthermore that game is shitty and I can't wait to play Dead Souls later
