Yakuza thread

Majima did nothing wrong

Well he didn't really except you know calling a hit on a medium sized mobster out of concession.

So 2018 was said to be a good year for Yakuza right?

apparently that's what the localizers said, yeah.

Customer is king desu

why? we are getting kiwami 2 this year?

And Fist of the North Star.

Will there ever be a better Yakuza game than 0?

For the nips yeah. They get HGG, and maybe another game?
For the West, we get 6 and maybe Kiwami 2

Yakuza 2 already exists

Majima ruined Kiwami

What was his fucking problem ?

Doubt it.

he was annoying sadly.

So where do I start if I wanna get into the series? I've heard nothing but good things about it. Anyone have like a guide or anything?

Kiwami, Kiwami 2, 3, 4, 5, 0

Release order if you can.

>get to the batting cage story fight with Majima
>Wait doesn't this end with him getting stabbed
>it does
>leave the area and immediately run into him in the streets

The Majima everywhere system isn't very good. It also gives an absurd amount of EXP, I was capped out by S-rank.

Emulate 1, if you can't get into the gameplay but enjoy stuff like the story and the tone of the game then skip to 0

hell no

Even if there is people won't accept it.

Help Sup Forums. The last time I stumbled into him was early on in the game, then I got a message from his buddy saying next time Majima would be hiding in plain site or something. Never saw him again.

I think for that one you gotta look for the giant cones. He's hiding in one of them.

Giant traffic cone

Thanks mates

What's so bad about kiwami and kiwami 2?

Kiwami for cut content and Majima everywhere, along with remixed music that sounds worse
Kiwami 2 for Dragon engine, cut content, less music, and more Majima pandering.
Personally, I like Kiwami 2 a lot but I understand why people hate it

What's so bad about Majima? He's more interesting than Kiryu

Nothing, but Kiwami and Kiwami 2 went out of their way to put a lot more Majima than what was needed for the story, cutting original content in the process

Where can I download Yakuza 2 in the fastest way?

>We will never get Isshin

We will also never get HGG

I don't know, the likelihood seems to be there

>K2 finally has great combat
>So the devs got lazy and ruined other things about it

Does Kiwami 2 have the terrible load times of 6?

I'm not holding my breath. Outside of Dead Souls, the West have never gotten a localized spin-off game.

This is post-zero though.

What does that have to do with spin-offs?

>K2
>great combat
having played both 6 and kiwami 2, I can say that the combat is still shit, except now it gets annoying even faster because every finisher sends enemies flying away from you

Zero did so well that maybe they'll experiment with spinoffs.
Especially since FotNS is popular in the west

I hope. Apparently EU is big on HnK.
But again, given the history of Sega not localizing spin-offs, I'm more inclined to think otherwise. I hope I'm wrong.

>having played both 6 and kiwami 2
post proof

>every finisher sends enemies flying away from you
>Not following up with the running punt kick

I got rid of 6

Y0 already made one of the biggest fanservice decisions ever by letting you play as Majima. How are they gonna top that?

It supposedly has a lot of cut content from original

if i get a 6 the HnK game sucks

That's Kiwami 2. It's nowhere near the best game.
Y2 is still the best.

He said Yakuza 2, not kiwami 2

>9
It'll be the best RGG game ever

rerolling

0 is better

If 7 there's a secret fight with Kenshiro Kasumi voiced by Akira Kamiya

Release order is the only correct choice. Emulate 1-2, play 3-6 on ps3 then 0 on ps4. If you REALLY want it you can start from 0 then play kiwami(remake of 1). Kiwami 1 is good even though the original is better. But avoid kiwami 2 at any cost. It's absolute garbage compared to original 2.

Nope. 0 is 2nd best.

...

Why does Kiryu always have that look in 5?

He was more interesting than Kiryu, even though he's just a joker ripoff in 1. Now it's just developers trying to make him a forced meme.

nope, 0 is the best and the only one worth playing in this shit series

Nope. 2 is the best, and along with the rest of the games, are worth playing in this great series.
except 6

Best boy

Fun guy.
But you are wrong.

Instead of them changing the protagonist to an okinawan nigger, why not just have us play a babby yakuza like Kido

Isnt Kiwami 2 fuckinga Yakuza 2? Kiwami was first, so Kiwami 2 is second

>Isnt Kiwami 2 fuckinga Yakuza 2?
Nope. It's a re-make. Not the same game.

CHINKED

Lets see how kiwami 2 is

I'd say Shin Yakuza has a chance, but only if they do take it as a fresh start for the franchise and keep the references to a minimum.

>and keep the references to a minimum.
i'm hoping for that too.
i'd be fine if they only reference side characters like komaki and stuff.

...

I’m like four chapters in and it’s fun, but it’s not really revolutionary or anything. It’s also my first Yakuza. The only challenge so far has been Mr Shakedown and he’s not too bad if you stay the dodge-heavy stance and have a few cures. The most fun part so far is just the side quests and the mini games I guess. Not to be “that guy” but when does it get really good?

Considering previous thread died, and I couldn't ask it there.
I'm currently emulating Yakuza 2, US version.
I've heard that EU version has no bloom? Is it true?
I am currently emulating in software mode which means it's mostly blurry mess except in cutscenes. I've only managed to get as far as Chapter 6 so I can restart if EU version lets me play at 4k.

>I've heard that EU version has no bloom? Is it true?
I've heard that also, and some anons have confirmed it in the past.
I have the US version so I also have the retarded bloom

emulate the PAL version.
I think I've got a think about swapping saves over somewhere, let me have a look.

yeah there it is. this is for yakuza 2 so you can just follow it.

Thanks mate.

Can you easily get into this serie by playing the last game if you didn't play the other before ? Or am I fucked ?

He's tired of all this shit, man

Yakuza 8
>Haruto being bullied by young Yakuza members
>Flying jump kick appears.
>Haruka appears. Dragon Style.
YFW first female playable character.

if last game means kiwami, you might be somewhat alright since 0 was a prequel, although you'd miss a huge amount of context and a lot of the substories are callbacks to 0. If last games means 6 when it comes out in two months, you're kinda fucked since you'd be skipping five whole games of development
