Yakuza

I bought it completely blind. No videos of gameplay or anything.

It is currently my favorite game of 2017. I fucking love 0 and I'm hyped for Kiwami.

>>377147360
Kiwami?

Remake of Yakuza 1 coming out in august for $35 on PS4.

>>377147542
Remake of the first Yakuza in 0's engine. Coming August. To answer your question, Yakuza 0 is a prequel so you can jump in. SEGA is planning on making a Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza) collection remaster with Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 in the future so might aswell jump in now.

0 is a good starting point since it's the first in the timeline and there's no references to other games (except a few characters who are in 0 substories and show up in the later games but its not that important)

>>377147739
actually, the price is $30

Yeah but not everyone is going to go out of their way to emulate the first one, Kiwami is convenient as fuck. Only the most die-hard fans will have problems with Kiwami but if it's your first time then it's arguably a better experience.

Any advice for a Yakuza 3,4 5 player who is thinking of starter his copy of 0 This weekend?

The new leveling system and combat styles are upsetting my autism.

I also hear that sidestories no loner show up as ? on map and that the substory for realestate is hard.

Are these lies?

>>377150819
>I also hear that sidestories no loner show up as ? on map
They do show up though, as an !

>>377150918
How hard is it to complete realestate shit?

Can I knock it all out in one shot like the Hunting, taxi idolshit and Baseball in Yakuza 5?

None of the guides ive seen really explain how it works other than "beat this guy by throwing money at him and having the right employees"

>>377147232
Only Yakuza game I haven't at least played and the only mainline I haven't beaten.
What is so special about this one that it brings in so many casuals/first timers?
Yakuza went from niche underrated gems to being mentioned on the same level as Nier and Persona

>>377150819
the substories dont show up, but when you've started them they show up as !

>>377150665
>>377150601

He is not crazy. He is just living life "to it's fullest"and not giving a shit after meeting the people from Yakuza 0.
That's about it.
Crazy people are more interesting, not some faggot YOLO bullshit.

>>377151052
real estate is not like the 5 shit, you actually have to spend lots of time on them and most of the time goes to collecting money.

>>377151068
>being mentioned on the same level as Nier and Persona

those used to be niche and underrated too, at least Nier.

Only here. The game sold like total shit in the West - 100k copies. These are Yakuza 3 numbers.
Kiwami and Y6 will sell even less, get ready for Dead Souls numbers and another stop.

>>377151743
Why not both?

What advice do you have for someone who is interested in Yakuza series, but has never played the games before. Is it a standard beat em up with a GTA story?

It's an action/adventure beat 'em up game with stories that are dramatic, character driven, and have more twists in the story the further into the games you go. It also has many many minigames and substories to play with characters that get referenced in later games as well. There are contextual environmental attacks and contextual weapon attacks that you can perform to help you in battle as well.

Emulate the first game, even though the gameplay is still basic at that point you'll understand what kind of a game it is and toasters can do it, and as you go on they only get better in terms of gameplay.

Just got it a few days ago and the only thing I hate is that there are a lot of loading screens when you enter buildings which can get annoying.

>>377151941
>GTA story?
get this idea out of your head, Yakuza is nothing like GTA. Blame Sega for advertising the first game as such.

>>377151941
Yakuza is a Japan simulator. It's story-driven but the side content can easily consume 100 hours of your time. It's that extensive and it's the reason why you'll always get your money back when you buy these games.

>>377151941
Except for it being open in when you tackle missions, it's nowhere near being like GTA.
The combat mechanics are easy to get in to, but harder to master completely. All the heat actions are fucking hilarious and make it stand out compared to your typical beat em up. What makes or breaks the game is whether you're fine just faffing about doing ridiculous side quests and playing mini games which is honestly the real meat of the content. The main story itself (in 0 at least) was decent enough to keep my interest but is padded out somewhat and feels hilariously serious juxtaposed to all the crazy shit going on in the side content.
So unless you mind it at times being a bit slow or being quirky, then most definitely give it a spin. Not like anything I've played before, that's for sure.

Emulate 1 and 2 if you can. Work your way up with 3-5 if you have a PS3. If you only have a PS4 then just go with 0.
Story is pretty much a soap opera with a lot of stupid plot twists, but it's pretty enjoyable.

This was my first Yakuza game as well and I knew very little outside of what the combat was like from a Japanese demo of a previous Yakuza title on PS3.

I also loved it and have pre-ordered Kiwami as well. Might not quite be my favorite game of 2017 but it's pretty fucking close.

Only played 0, but I'm very curious about the rest of the series.
I hear a very mixed opinions about basically all the games, but the general consensus seems to be that 0 is the best. I'm not really too fond about most of the games reusing the map, the assets and animations etc. and I hear that Kiwami is basically just a worse version of 0. So where to go from here.

>>377153228
It's rare that a game has actually makes me laugh out loud more than once or twice.
I had a good chuckle the first time Kiryu did the move where he slams some poor fuck to the ground and then jumps with all his force on top of it. Same for the super jumping piledriver and many others.

You don't have a fucking choice then. The answer is yes OP, and what you will miss in refrences from older games, you will GAIN in Yakuza Kiwami because you will have stonger ties to Nishkiyama for it.

>>377153478
Prioritize putting your cp points into business. It's a lot better than the very minor upgrades in the other trees.

>I'm not really too fond about most of the games reusing the map
That's by far one of the best parts of the games, it's fantastic to go into a new game and see all new shops, areas completely changed, new areas you can enter, and old faces. One of my favorite parts of the start of every new game when you visit Kamurocho as Kiryu is to get to meet Yuya and Kazuki again, go talk to the Master at Bantam and have him know who you are, maybe get a substory to see Doc Emoto, and see what wacky hijinks Date has gotten up to before seeing what new things they added, it's fantastic. It's something you really have to deal with or you're not going to like the series because that's a big draw of it, touring Kamurocho and seeing what changes is one major part of the experience.

0 is considered the best because it's the culmination of years of development. You have all the minigames, a bunch of substories, a bunch of references, an entirely new battle system (Though they did kind of prototype it in both Kenzan and Ishin with different weapon styles you could change to on the fly), both cities, and the refined targeting and slapping backwards (When you press square and back and you hit behind you) attacks mid-combo which didn't even get fluid until like 3. Going to the older games you will have to deal with the fact that they're not as developed because that's how it all started, but you get fun stories and storylines to go with it.

Do the real estate side quests until you have the DOD style-

I think it could be done in one LONG session, two decent ones if you do only the real estate quests.
You have to meet mr moneybags kammorucho, whom I think you meet in chapter 5. So play normally until chapter five then hunker down and do it.

You need to wait for the money to be collected, so the more CP you invest in quicker money collection the quicker it'll go

>>377154193
Grind for CP and get "Deep Pockets Mr.Shakedown" as Kiryu. Let Mr.Shakedown take your money, beat him up, and get a good chunk of change from him.
With a shitload of money you can just buy all of the property in the game, and real estate will be done before you know it.

I don't know sales but the game's user reviews has the worst score of all games in the franchise in several sites. People were calling out sega saying that they only wanted to make a game with celebrities on it and not a Yakuza game. The combat and the story were harshly criticized (the combat is broken and feels horrible and the story it's just a bunch of drama, characters that serve no purpose and all the actual Yakuza characters except Akiyama and Haruka do not appear in the game).

Oh, and he kills a load of people who are working with the big bad whose name I can't remember when they burn down the main brothel to try and kidnap Haruka. Amon and the main bad guy are basically the only ones in the main story who don't die to his hands.

>>377157026
Fighting in 4 is way easier, especially as Akiyama because his square mashing bypasses all guards, even bosses. Tanimura's fight is the hardest because the guy has only one heat ability that hits multiple enemies but they throw like fifteen or more generic soldiers at you. Honestly, the best fights in 4 that aren't Komaki or Amon were Kiryu and Kiryu vs Akiyama and Tanimura.

His VA was involved in a drug scandal. Japan ban artists and entertainers from perfoming if they are caught with drugs due to zero tolerance policy. Shame, Tanimura would have made perfect sense to appear in 6.

I had never played a Yakuza game and I got it recently.
It's amazing and I've already put in over 150 hours in. I'm currently playing it and I'm STILL discovering new content that I had no idea existed in the game.

He was an actor at the time, so I guess he was too busy to return, or he just didn't want to.
He's never coming back now since he retired after he was accused of using cocaine.

>Tanimura would have made perfect sense to appear in 6.
Dead Souls too, it's a damn shame since he had a pretty unique fighting style with the parries and arresting mechanic, and playing a corrupt cop who wanted to do good to the disenfranchised was great. At least he still gets referenced in the later games from what I understand so I bet they would have brought him back if they could.

tanimura was a boring twink

>>377157463
Funny thing is, he retired the day after Yakuza 6 came out.

>>377157630
vs Akiyama and Tanimura was orgasmic man, especially when you just slaughter them at such a low level and they go "Who in the hell was that guy" and then when you meet up at New Serena Akiyama basically goes "You're my hero Kiryu, you saved me all those years ago".
4 was so good barring Tanimura's last fight.

>>377157719
He felt like he got less screen time (One chapter of his is literally just walking to the underground parking lot to get money and then visit the police office) and his substories mainly centered around Hometown, but the guy had potential. He also played off the crew pretty well, especially Akiyama. Akiyama and Tanimura were a fun team.

Well, there's a Kiryu vs Saejima fight, and webm related, so I assume so. Haven't played it yet, want to complete Dead Souls first.

>>377157621
A lot of newbies jumped on with Zero and we're getting both Kiwami and 6, I'd say things are looking up for now.

>>377158721
Holy shit, i might skip Tekken 7 for this.

5 is literal garbage. confusing plot, too many main characters, annoying new character, ending is shit and its too fucking long (longer than 0)

dont get your hopes up about it.

He'd probably do some lines with him since Awano doesn't give a shit about being a Yakuza

>>377147232
Who here played the cabaret mini game obsessively? I fucking love it so much. I've put about 20 hours into it and turn on the game occasionally just to play it.

Also Yakuza 0 has one of the greatest stories I have ever experienced. Every time I came back to play it had constant surprises unlike any other game I've played. Even my gf loves watching me play it.

>>377151052
It really depends on how you want to go about the real estate shit. It's super easy for the most part. The issue is that because of the amount of money involved, it can take a LOT of time. You can go about it normally by hitting it up every so often to collect your funds, buying property when you have the money to do so, and basically just chipping away at it piece by piece. You'll likely end up finishing all of Kiryu's other shit well before you manage to finish it though and you'll be stuck playing the grinding game.

Honestly, my recommendation is to wait until you are in a good position to grind money from Mr. Shakedown (there's an exploit where you repeat the process of beating him and then losing to him to multiply your money by around 1.5x each time). Use that to build your funds up enough to just straight up buy all of the properties in one go and then go about the investing and shit as normal. In the long run, it's probably a much faster way to complete it than chipping away at it piece by piece.

Majima's host club, on the other hand, is more involved. It's still a pretty simple minigame but it requires far more active participation than the real estate game. Doing the Mr. Shakedown trick helps but it's much less of a fast track.

>>377159483
Probably. Also this is the funniest scene.

does anybody else just bait out Mr Shakedown into doing that charge move over and over and punching him in the back of the head? holy christ it's tedious when their health starts getting big, but it's consistent. Still in chapter 3 and it seems to be the only decent way to get cash quickly

>>377161742
i'm on chapter 4 or 5 but i still run away from him every time. never fought him.

can someone help me

Just walk around, enter and exit shops or go sleep with the hobos to see if that forces respawns.

He's commonly sleeping by the bowling or walking North Senryo Avenue down to the south. May be sleeping in a corner

>>377154058
Honestly, why would you even need the Dragon of Dojima style to beat Shakedown? Just use Rush style and hit & run tactics. It barely takes any longer if at all and Shakedown can't even lay a finger on you until you want him to. Instead of doing real estate to get DoD style so you can grind Mr. Shakedown, you're much better off grinding Mr. Shakedown so you can finish the real estate faster and get DoD style.

>>377161320
>>377161151
Well these just add to my enjoyment of Awano

Any stuff like this for Kuze's VO?

I've played all the English games in release order and I'm about to finish 0. I enjoyed the game a lot, but to be honest it's a bit disappointing how the series has tonally degraded from being a mostly serious crime drama to campy j-drama status over the course of 3 -> 5 -> 0.

You're insane if you think Y0 bombed in the grand scheme of things.
Also, to cap it off, source? Is that US and EU combined?

>>377162245
Do the Miracle substories and pick the black box on the second one to get the Encounter Finder for Kiryu. I can't remember how you get Majima's.

When you equip it, it will show everybody in the immediate area who is looking for a fight on your minimap as well as marking Mr. Shakedown's location on the map so even if he's all the way across town, you can see exactly where is.

>>377155261

his pistol heat move is so fucking nasty in 6. He just strolls up to the poor sap and dumps the clip into his stomach.

>>377163880
Different anon, the miracle boxes actually matter?

>>377164316
Yes. I don't remember what was in the first one but I know that in the second one (the one after the dance-off with Miracle), you have to pick the black box if you want the encounter finder.
