Why isn't Yakuza 6 as a good as Yakuza 0?

Why isn't Yakuza 6 as a good as Yakuza 0?

No Yakuza game has reached the greatness of Shenmue.

Instead of getting to work with disposable cast, they have to try giving satisfying conclusions to shitton of characters. And writers of the series are fucking terrible.
As far as gameplay goes, step back in mechanics is to be expected since this is the first major switch since Yakuza 3 days.

>trashed by SEGA

Anri is one of the highest quality asian women on this planet, I wonder how she got into porn, probably grew up in poor conditions

Other than the plot, it's because they had no time to learn to develop a new game with the new Dragon engine. Expect Kiwami 2 to run way smoother.

When will developers learn not to put highly anticipated games in series on a new engine without knowing how to properly use it?

I know user, could've been a good opportunity to test the engine with a remake of Black Panther.

>tfw in the last chapter in Yakuza 2
>Have to do the underground tournament and hostess club missions
Fucking kms desu

I've done most of the tournament now but it was boring as hell. Fighting Komaki is a pain in the ass and having to reload + having it up to chance to retry is worse. Least I know I got some awesome final fights to go through after it's all done.

She’s a degenerate whore, that’s how,

Hostesses were the worst part of that to be honest. It was like 10 or 11 of them you have to court and it's so slow.

After doing them in 1 and knowing how long it will take them 2 I'm not at all mad they took them out in US Yakuza 3 just so I get a break from them for a game.

Be glad you're not going to Kenzan directly after 2 then.

Apparently JP 3 also had Hostess Maker that was even slower than it was in 4 which boggles my mind since 4 was agony.

She said in a interview that she does it because is the ultimate art form.

The chick on the left knows what's up. Kiryu looks like he needs a visit from John Cena.

I found fan throwing quite doable if you get the right amount of flick down. Same sweet spot you need to win the banking in pool, half the time I always knocked off the little doll. I could never win a single round of that Simon Says game where you hit or tap the board though, they always got too fast and I made a mistake. The card matching game was just obscene, never mind that even if you know Japanese and can match up the cards the AI still outright cheats and heads straight for the randomly generated matching card while you're scrabbling around trying to find it.

The fan game screwed me over as soon as it went up or down a peg. I could do the default level just fine but as soon as they switch suddenly it's like I'd never played it before as the NPC gets 2s and 3s every throw.

Simon Says was my favorite of the lot once I understood it. Getting to the super speed and seeing the AI mess up was so satisfying.

Card matching is nonsensical. I one spawned literally right next to the winning card, heard the saying (It started with an あ), saw it, moved about half way to it, and then before I could fully reach it and press X I saw on the minimap the NPC came from all the way across the screen from the complete opposite side and picked it. I was so unbelievably mad since it's not easy to read the Hiragana upside down.

>platinumed nearly every game in the series
>still have to do catfights in 0 and actually play Dead Souls before 6 comes out in english

FUCK

You do Ishin? Because I just learned I have to do symbols on top of the weapons and armor when I just got right near the end of all the synthesizing. Dead Souls isn't that bad outside of slots and the Underground Subterranea stuff.

Because Anri Okita is the #1 normalfag JAVfu and Clan Creator looks like shit.

That must be why she retired after she got famous because BIG TITS ON AN ASIAN GIRL? UNTHINKABLE

When the change is as drastic as Yakuza 6, I can see why they do it. You want the new main-line entry of your series to look best possible, and using the main mechanic on remake or spin-off would lessen the appeal.
In the past they have first tested parts of the engine with spin-offs like with Kenzan and Ishin, but since 6 did so many things differently, they would've had to do quite few different games to iron out the mechanics in.

She looks familiar

Yep. Thanks for the advice on the courtesan schmup game by the way, worked a treat. You done the hundred weapon/armor synthesis trophy yet? After you get all the symbols for completion just buy fifty loincloths and the same amount of the first two upgrade hammers, then keep transferring the same trait from loincloth to loincloth until the trophy pops.

>You done the hundred weapon/armor synthesis trophy yet?
Right now I've just been doing the actual upgrading and stuff for the completion list trying to get 1 of everything, and I'm nearly at that point but then the whole symbols being part of the completion list threw a wrench in that plan so now I'm making a separate list of the cheapest stuff I need to grab for that without losing the final upgrades of everything I have.

Any tips for the Arena farming or is it literally just the Komaki one over and over? Because if you do get hit it's a game over.

Hah is that for real
What a braindead slut

hmm

Le fap fap xD

I just did the gun tournament over and over again because I was grinding for gear components for the last few gun modifications, by the time I had what I needed I had enough for all the coliseum weapons. Just max out your weapons and armor and spam heat actions, Ishin's arena is the definition of cheap and it wasn't designed to be balanced in the slightest.

Quick tip if you don't want to do the same battle dungeons over and over again for mid-tier crafting items: enemies drop rarer items the further into the game you get. You know how Kenzan started spawning rich guys who dropped clay teacups worth a couple of ryo from Chapter 10 or so after most of the game having really expensive weapon mods? A lot like that. I did the same battle dungeons over and over daround chapter seven because of a shortage of mid-tier crafting items that were in short supply, while common and rare ones were actually quite easy to get. If you get a similar problem progress further into the story (either right before or after they burn Kyoto) and common encounters tend to just drop the silver ores and clockwork mechanisms you'll need.

And remember a lot of accessories you can't craft or synthesize until you do the substory where Ryoma gets them for the first time.

and as a result we got an incomplete game that is no where near as good as it could be.

Maybe they should have used the Hokuto no Ken game as the testbed for the Dragon engine. Still, Kiwami 2 seems like they learned from most of their mistakes in 6.

I've got like 10 or 20 items left and I'm done with them in chapter 5, though a handful of them are exactly what you said, substory locked. You can actually just grind Bandit 5, Thief 2, and Thief 9 for nearly any of those uncommon/rare items that you can't buy in pretty vast quantities each run, and I bet the last 10 or so areas of the Remnants section will be enough for the items needed outside of Amon's sword requirements. Thief 2 is especially good for Small Clockworks and Handmade Devices since they drop while you're farming for the red wood, Large Gold Nuggets, Platinum Gains, and Platinum Lumps. You get at least one of each per run on top of the other stuff.

My only problem is how the Battle Dungeon's third area and the Arena are clearly just not made with anything but Blink/Two/uncapped Pistol in mind. You literally die in two hits in the Remnants area. The spear mission in it throws you into a room smaller than a Japanese apartment filled with 10 ninjas that can stun you with shurikens and kill you in two hits alongside a boss that can kill you in one hit.

Anri's gonna be in 6, so it's automatically the best game in the series and my GOTY

t. dumb 14 y.o. jerker

>paizuri slot
Slut

Hey man, I loved the 6 demo so I'm sure I'll like the game.
Anri the pornstar is a slut? Gosh, user. How'd you come to that conclusion?

Don't forget you can rebirth your soldier cards to reset their level cap and make them stronger, or synthesize them together with copies of the same card to increase the effect they have, that helps out. When it came to ninja groups I either just used the spinning top in wild dance or ran back down the hallway to funnel them out. Make sure you equip a headpiece with the trait that prevents Ryoma from getting dizzied, their shuriken stunlock is annoying as hell.

>Anri the pornstar is a slut? Gosh, user. How'd you come to that conclusion?
Joke

Your head

former pornstar you nit

Throws Kiryu and Akiyama under the bus for the sake of drama
New engine is unpolished and has Gary's Mod tier ragdoll physics
Kiryu's moveset is tiny compared to previous games
Setting is tiny compared to previous games
Easiest boss fights in the entire series even on the highest difficulties

Was it supposed to be a joke? Sorry, user. Have this upvote. Hope you get gold soon.
What the fuck is she even up to now? I think she's singing nowadays.

>What the fuck is she even up to now? I think she's singing nowadays.
Expensive on-demand escort EXCLUSIVE to white men. She doesn't do Asians, Latinos or Negros.
Not even kidding.

>Don't forget you can rebirth your soldier cards to reset their level cap and make them stronger,
But all that does is gives you a bit more health at the start of the mission and lowers the reload time for the ability, that's pretty much it. It also requires you giving up a sword you usually have to synthesize for the good ones so I just can't justify grinding for that. Thanks for the Wild Dance advice, I know I could spinning top but I have major doubts my damage output would be decent since I'm like half invested into it, I went into Sword and Pistol pretty much.

One question, what's the max level? It's like 150 or something, right? There's no way you can max out all trees in 99 levels.

Not even kidding? Guess you're absolutely right, then! I'll take your word for it.

How expensive?
I'm not even kidding when I'm saying that I would pay a few months of salary to get her to suck on my nipples like in the movies

Anyone heard anything from Anri's new album? Is it any good?

How does one even get in touch with her if you had the dosh to fuck her?

Yakuza 6 is gonna be ok at best but Kiwami 2 is going to be a better game on the dragon engine since they got time to polish it and judging by the footage, it looks better than 6.

she's on twitter and speaks fluent English.

shes a solid 7, only for the tits, her ass is flatter than the earth

>some autist is actually gonna try to get in contact with her
Kek, tell us how it goes.

Can you private message on twitter?

How many dweebs do you think writes her every day saying they want to fuck her?

Not being a pessimist, just thinking how it would realistic be a possibility.

I'd probably do it if I had the money

All four styles cap out at 50 after you max out the grid and beat each master for limit break training; reach level 99 and after you fight Komaki, Bradley and Ginryu at the same time and reset your level cap the second level 99 is the strongest you get, but you can max out all skill trees again at something like level 95. I stopped relevelling at 75 so I'm not sure what happens when you get new skill spheres after you've max'ed out all the grids.

So let me get this straight.
>Get to 25 on a style
>Uncap
>Level to 99
>Rebirth
>Styles are all whatever you left them at, the only thing that changes is you get thrown back to level 1 on your general level ups.

Bascially. You can only break the style level cap after you max out a style grid. You can do that with normal level up spheres but you'll probably want to use style sphere grids to get as many skills as you can. Max it out, beat the master and the style level cap increases to fifty and the grid itself resets. You can fight all three masters after you hit level 99 regardless of style level, I maxed out gun and wild dance twice and I didn't have enough spheres to max out sword and unarmed, after my level cap reset I could finish their grids and do the limit break training.

I've already done Pistol so I get how it works and I can almost do Sword since I just need two more levels and have had it filled out for ages. One last question:
Dragon is only on Amon's sword. If I synthesize Amon's sword to something else will I be able to get it back from Bob Utsunomiya's ancestor or is it a one time only deal?

I might actually die if I keep trying to 100% 0 and Kiwami
There is so much shit to do in these games that it's ridiculous. I'll at least get all the sidestory stuff out of the way because a lot of it is worth seeing. The last ones I need are Majima's hostess ones and they're super boring to do. Having to do a full Cabaret Club minigame in between talking to them is super tedious and none of the girls are really that interesting

100% the games is definitely fun most of the time outside of hiccups like slots, just don't do them one after the other to give your mind a break because they take 80+ hours. Yakuza 5 for example took me 200 due to just the insane amount of stuff to do to get everything completed.

For hostesses in any of the games do one the whole way through since their lives are interesting enough to at least follow and then go away for a while. Doing 5 or, God forbid, 10 in a row is one of the worst things you could do to yourself and it drains your soul. I've done it three times now. One of the best things to do in the games past 3 or 4 is to take them to Karaoke as they have unique variants of the songs so that's something fun to look forward to.

After you get the shit version of Amon's sword by beating him you can buy it again from the casino or as an arena prize, I forget which, though it's even more costly than the Golden Gun. When it comes to symbol aynthesis completion it only counts traits that are transferable, special enchanted traits like Dragon, Electric or Fire are non-transferable so you don't need to synthesize them away to get 100%. You don't need to give up Amon's sword, the Golden Gun or the Dragon Hawk, don't worry. Just getting a weapon with that symbol counts towards completion. The only enchanted trait you need to synthesize is the enhanced symbol you get by combining two weapons with the same trait, you can get that one by just combining any two fire swords. Although if you're really crazy get Amon's sword, buy another and grind the material to complete that one too, and combine them both to get a sword with Dragon and Enhanced, Ryoma will shoot out red sword waves instead of blue ones.

Come off it, she has an ayy face, a pathetic man ass and that's it. JAV girls are ugly 99 times out of 10

Hostesses work differently in 0, though. You have to do it one conversation at a time, and have to do a several minute-long minigame in between each conversation. There are 6 hostesses with around 5 or 6 conversations each, so it gets really fucking annoying to get through after a while.

No idea.

I'm not making shit up though user, so your sarcasm is unfounded. For starters, she's not even Japanese. She was born and raised in England and is actually a half-breed.

And you also can't dictate what dates you do with your hostesses so you mainly just take them to Karaoke where they all sing the same song

framerate

>You don't need to give up Amon's sword, the Golden Gun or the Dragon Hawk, don't worry. Just getting a weapon with that symbol counts towards completion.
Oh man, you eased my worries. I was half way through writing up what I needed before you said that. So then Rust, Fire, Wind, Electric, Light, Poison, and Dragon aren't needed at all? Plus buying another Golden Gun requires no effort so throwing Profit off of a clean one isn't a big deal compared to getting the materials for the headband that has it.

That seems like a nightmare, is the minigame easy at least? Now I can understand why you would dread it.

>framerate
Y6's problems are far more than just shit framerate.

Makes you think...

>30+ and still single

Shes never getting married right?

i don't even bother if a game doesnt run at 60 so i wouldnt know

So you never played any Yakuza game other than 0 and Kiwami? This series isn't for you.

It's actually very easy. You can completely fuck up the conversation and still progress with the girl's story. The only interesting girl is Yuki, and it's because she feels like more of a daughter than a girlfriend so the conversations go a lot farther than "I want to fuck you but I'm going to say it in the least subtle way possible yet Majima still doesn't notice". You don't even have sex with them after you complete their substory, because they actually work for you

Remaster fucking when ?

>same image in every thread
get some new images already fuckface

some billionaire chink will just buy her, just like what happened to Rola Takizawa, I'm still fucking mad at that

Who the fuck wants to marry a pornstar?

Nah I'm pretty sure she was just sweet talking. what popular pornstar would they're embarassed of their job and wants to quit asap? Especially jav actresses that have dedicated fanbase.

>crying about more anri
>doesn't even post a good pic
Hmm..

I would

Hostesses in 0 are part of the dedicated cabaret club minigame. You go on practice sessions with them that work like the dates in older games except you don't have to spend any money, your only focus is getting their affection gauge maxed out via dialogue choices. The only thing that affects is how much EXP they earn, a bad session or a bad date just earns them less, you don't lose any money doing it. It's far less frustrating than other games and it means they earn more money for you in the cabaret minigame, so there's actual incentive beyond 100% completion. The only bad part is you can only do one session with one girl per round of the minigame, but that's not so bad so long as you do each girl in order before you take on the next cabaret club. Some people here didn't bother doing the dates before taking on the next club so they had to max out all six hostesses AFTER they beat Club Moon just to fight Amon.

man what did she do to her face. Her face in this pic was perfect. Fucking mental illness. Or whoever pressured her into doing plastic surgery.

...

>marry a pornstar
Pornstars that are currently active?
Literal cucks. Or other pornstars.
Pornstars that retired?
Somebody who is really open minded. And cucks.

Tell that to Kim Kardashian

>vagina charged with the power of hundreds of males
>Our child will be stronger than any of its predecessors
A living God would be born.

>not wanting to marry a rich rice nigger pornstar and have a sugar momma so you can NEET off and play vidyia all day

MY FUCKING HEART

i would suck ai's weird thumbs

>pretty in real life
>looks like a ghoul in 0
How'd they fuck it up that badly

>what popular pornstar would they're embarassed of their job and wants to quit asap
Allie Sin was great at that, funnily enough. Always looked bored as if she would do literally anything else.

>JAV girls are ugly 99 times out of 10

funny because most japanese women do
porno at least once on their lifetime.
you clearly havent looked at real life japanese women, most of them have fucked up teeth and stubby bodies

I'd still fuck her but I see what you mean.
>Ai and Anri will never collab
Fuck this gay earth

most pornstars say they like sex as much as their orgasms are really
you really think they want to put their fans off?

dude, I watched an interview with Hitomi and Anri where they say they love sex and gargling on cum, but when i look at them when they fuck they are disgusted most of the time.

Also, tatamae

Even the JAV girls have fucked up teeth, it is literally and eyesore. It's too disgusting.

I like fucked up teeth desu

It's called aging and porn does that shit to you. Look at RIO looks today compared to the glory days.

Cos you have fucked up teeth you ugly motherfucker

Nah, I think it's botox or something. Her cheeks gives it away.
