Hasn't fucking arrived yet
Fucking Zavvi

Currently at the funeral chapter it's great. Majima everywhere isn't as bad as I thought. Currently loving brawler and beast style.

It's alright I guess.

I like how they establish Kiryu's real estate as canon.

>Majima everywhere isn't as bad as I thought
>implying having a senpai that notices you is bad in any way

100% runs are canon.

Purgatory.

I'll admit right away that this is my first Yakuza game, but do all the bosses in the series take this many hits to beat? I have no problem reading patterns and seeking chances to counterattack, but the amount of punishing the bosses can take is honestly slightly overwhelming. The health regen thing especially is a bit excessive.

Otherwise it's a cool game. The city has fucking great atmosphere.

Good. Granted I don't go for the 100% stuff. But it's nice they do that.

I always wondered how canon the real estate stuff is.

Like fuck how much money did kiryu canonically make and why isnt it present with him?

Also zero takes place in 1 week or so so how would you buy the real estate stuff so fast unless canonically he did it after his dojima troubles were over.

Is he actually in the game or am I just getting my hopes up for nothing wanting to hear this:
youtube.com/watch?v=ApreCAQiZ4w

Maybe it's canon that Kiryu got drunk and bumped into rich punks intentionally to egg them on so that he could rob them and buy real estate, or maybe he just beat the Shakedown dudes after they had a bunch of cash.

There's an upradge that lets you do a special attack on bosses when they are in regen stance. That's the intended way

I'm going to start it tonight. I never got around to picking up 0 even though I've been playing them since the first. Once I finish it I'll probably track down a copy of 0.

Kiwami is great but Shimano was annoying.

Though on the ps2 mashing square worked.

They kind of fucked the boss battles in this. You can upgrade and get a few different Kiwami finishers. When the boss starts regening you can match your style to his aura and do the finished as a special heat move. It's a pretty stupid gimmick because a lot of people aren't getting the upgrades before the first few bosses.

The rest of the games have no stupid gimmicks for bosses and are much better. Hopefully Kiwami 2 avoids this as well.

is it worth going to 0 from kiwami or should i just wait to play kiwami

Order doesn't matter. 0 is the better game so doing Kiwami first might be a good idea. Kiwami is also short and has much less side content so you can finish it quicker

Get the heat style upgrades. When you knock em down a certain number a times, they start sweating a fuck ton and it's in the same color as your fighting styles.

While in Heat mode, switch to the corresponding color when you see the mist around them and you'll do some cinematic finishers. This is an upgrade, by the way. It's in the 2-tier ring in Souls upgrades.

It's Yakuza, it's the same fucking game as the last twenty entries

Majima is best boy.

>Fans keep playing similar games because they like what it does

This happens all the time, look at cod.

Nothing wrong with that.

People keep sayig the first game is obselete because of kiwami, but desu, the lack of this boss ruining stuff makes the original so much more attractive. Whatever, I already have kiwami so I'll just rush the kiwami heat attack upgrade.

Thanks!

I want to protect majima's insanity

We warned you that it was just children parroting shit about the PS2 games aging like milk or being obsolete.

Always play in release order.

Dont listen to these normalfags with little time on their hands.

The original is just braindead though. The only hard fight is the penultimate boss because of respawning mobs with Kiryu's movement being too stiff for them

It's a bit of a trade-off but for the better. Overall I had a lot more fun with KW1 than Y1 itself.

Sorry user, he was my favourite too.

My Majima has been smoking a cig in the park for about seven chapters now. What do?

It's not obsolete, it's still a fun game. I imported Kiwami but to be honest I enjoyed the HD version of 1 more. Kiwami looks nicer and has some more side content, but I still like the original. The Majima everywhere thing was fun but gets old quick, and I didn't really care for the Kiwami moves during boss fights. Also Kiwami is much easier than the original I find due to the style system.

The people shitposting about one being better than the other are just retards. Both games offer different things and I'd recommend anyone who's interested in the series to try out both. Don't get baited into this weird "original vs kiwami" shit that is going around. Anyone who's actually a fan of the games can appreciate both.

It's the same with the people who shit on Dead Souls. The game is hopelessly unoptimized but it's a ton of fun and has some amazing fan service.

well said user

the hypest theme that ever fucking existed

I find it really baffling that they introduced Majima and Majima Everywhere before the batting cages fight. Also, did Nishiki always have a little sister? I don't remember this ever being mentioned, even in 0.

Yeah she was mentioned in the original

Yeah. She was mentioned even back then in the PS2 version. They just never really go into it.

Yes, yes, very good Y1, HOWEVER

Nishiki says he's going to his sis's surgery in the original right?

Y0*

>get mad at the Casino
>go blow off steam at the club SEGA playing some Mesuking

First Yakuza game and loving it, i'm still early on but I'm having way too much fun just roaming around the city.

That is ridiculously good

Good on you. You'll enjoy the rest of the games even better because they have even more side stuff to do.

Does Akiyama pick up money in the ending?

>mfw You no longer sense a connection with Majima
I JUST WANTED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY EARLY
SHITTY FUCKING MAJIMA EVERYWHERE
Zombie Majima was fun though

Nope. Still a random homeless dude

No, sadly.
They fucked up.

Say what you want about Yakuza 3 at the risk of my rants but it has the best songs.

Now im mad about the fuckign wubstep.

They literally had one job.

>pocket circuit
Speaking of, what's the setup for beating Takuma (as part of PC Fighter's substory)?

What comes to mind when you see this?

The only people that throw a shitfit about 3 are people that get all their opinions from ecelebs.

The biggest issue with 3 was cut content. The orphanage was great, the cast was great, it had good substories. The twin stuff with the CIA was just 3's rubber bullet moment.

Long face

KILL

Trust

He's an asian G Man who's about to go and hassle Gordon Freeman

Honestly I picked the songs best for ac tion which is what these games are about.

I'll give you Y1 end point though, always humming that one.

Seriously shitposters and resident tripfag

I fucking dare you!

oh i think you know. While we're at it, here's an update from an alternate timeline where the dub survived:
youtube.com/watch?v=qC-w6bJiVjE&ab_channel=devilleon7

THIS ARROGANT

Can someone clearly explain the "healing bosses" gimmick?
Where do I put my points to immediately get rid of this bullshit?

Pocket Fighter is getting married and he wants to find a protege to replace him. After bumping into the other guy who's name i forget, he tells you that Takuma tried to become a F1 racer and failed, resulting in him distancing himself from the other two kids and having to take a job as a host instead. Kiryu finds him and tells him to stop being a wuss, and then you race and agrees to become the next Pocket Fighter.

Go to the "soul" upgrade tree. Immediately south of the centre is the path to the necessary upgrades. They are called "Essence of extreme ___".

MO
THER
FU
CKER

No, I mean what's the customisation setup. I can't beat Takuma even though I pretty much have all the parts.

>mfw ywn have oneesan Majima stalking you through the streets

You just saved me a lot of pain, user, thanks.

Starts off strong, but kinda goes to shit with the over-orchestration, imo.

No problem.

Oh shit, I thought you were asking because you only played the import or something. My bad.
I found it to be way easier than it was in 0 as it didn't require building a car that couldn't finish the race without assistance. I can't remember exactly what I used but I can go check if you want.

Was I the only one who didnt realize you could sprint in 0 until now when Kiwami brought it up?

> I can't remember exactly what I used but I can go check if you want.
If you wouldn't mind, please. I'll make a note of your setup and start from there.

REMINDER!!!!!!

KIWAMI HAS A SURVEY

In the survey is a bunch of usual stuff, but it also has questions on localazations on future games, Kiwami 2, Fist of the North Star.

Didn't you ever wonder what "dash" meant in the completion list?

I can't stop running into sub stories

Does anybody know how to trigger the majima encounter where you get flash step reborn the last email i got about him said hes west of shichifuku but i see no where to fight him

Ultra Slick Tires
Ultra Rocket Frame
Godspeed Motor
Ultra Boost Gears
Regular battery, bumper, max suspension and stabilizers

you need to enter the pocket circuit stadium and do a few tournaments there. after you do a few and walk towards the parts shop you'll trigger the event with majima.

I really want a PS4 Kurohyo - Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho Remake

Thanks, man. I'll check it out and if it doesn't work, I'll hammer something out using that as a base. Appreciate the help.

a remake of these games with 0's gameplay would be great

>he doesn't like Def Jam

This was my first Yakuza game, bought it on a whim and loving it, where do I go from here if I only have a ps4 but want more Yakuza?

i think it's fine. i just prefer the mainline yakuza gameplay.

I always hear good things about the PSP spinoff games.

I've never played this series. Should I get this?

When do haruka requests start?

Yakuza 20
Kiryu is very old and wants a peaceful life but Daigo fucks up again.

premium adventure

Can you create a clear save in Premium Adventure (like in 0)?

tfw not released on ps3

yes.
you can also start a premium new game on legend difficulty this time around.

Is this some new pasta?

Good stuff. Cheers.

There's 0, and Yakuza 2 is getting a remake soon. Yakuza 6 is also getting released next year and SEGA should have ways to get you up to speed on the plot.

>all of these hate for Shimano
just wait till you get to Arase fags

Does hard mode just make everyone block everything all the time still?

It's not so much hate for Shimano but hate for the Kiwami heat gimmick

No. Every boss has super armor and a billion HP instead.
