I really hate Majimas main minigame

Currently like 50 hours into 0, but only halfway through the main story.

Maybe it's just been a while since I played 5, but I had forgotten how much fucking content these games have.

>how did you enjoy it?

It cemented me as a Yakuza fan is how I enjoyed it. Was thoroughly surprised by the strength of the games story, characters and it's lasting impression.

>>387125014
I knew Kamurocho was based on Kabukicho, but I always thought it was a thematic thing.

>>387125171

i honestly have no idea what is going on in this gif

anyway back on topic, i think 0 was the best game in the series by a decent margin. i think cutting it back to two characters was a smart decision, because the story in 4 and 5 was definitely way too disjointed. also the story in 0 is just overall a lot better with less stupid RUBBER BULLET style twists. my only real complaint is that the Hostess Club/Real Estate stuff felt super grindy and I really didn't want to do that at all

>>387125279
I needed 40hours to complete 0 and completion status says 30% completed ;_;

I love it. It's the most varied game I've ever played.
I'm a little upset about how Mr Shakedown fucks the economy, but that's it. SPOILER Like how easy it is to make the 500,000,000 Majima needed to get back in the Yakuza, or the billion Kiryu gets bought for. I was already carrying that kind of money in my bag.

Oh boy this is going to be great. I'm really excited for Ishin just to visit Gion again. Also, speaking of Ishin does anyone know the screenshotting restrictions? I remember months maybe even a year or two back someone saying it gets blocked on anything that's not minigames or exploring? The guy was trying to screenshot the American substory but he had to use his camera if I remember right.

Kiryu just wants to live out his life peacefully looking after the orphanage and his daughterfu, but every Yakuza after 2 is basically a direct result of his incompetence

>>387125917
ryuji is the main villain in yakuza 2 right?

>>387125917
I wonder how big Ryuji was when he was born.
It's a wonder his mom survived the birth.

>>387126089

Ryuji is the main antagonist of Yakuza 2, and yes, he is a yakuza's son

>>387126120
Yep. He's also a playable character in Dead Souls which was great since his substories were enjoyable.

>>387124586
thinking of buying the game, i played 1 and 2 on ps2, skipped the ones in ps3 because i went the xbox route last gen, am i missing much if i just play the ps4 games? i don't really mind the story but those moments that make yakuza such a great series.

>>387126205

I thought Yakuza 3 was ass, so you're not missing too much from not playing that one

4 was alright - it does introduce some characters who are in 5 as well. I wouldn't say it's super recommended playing, as the games are mostly self contained. You'll miss a lot of references and stuff but you'll be able to understand the main story fine.

In terms of 0, you already played 1 and 2, so I think you're good to go.

The only thing that isn't blocked is the arena until Another Life/NG+/I forget the name right now, then I think pretty much everything is free to record/screenshot and that's including all the substories.

currently there are no plans for any other games to get remade. i'm holding out for yakuza 2, cos that's probably my favourite along with 0, but who knows if that'll ever come out.

>>387126412
Man, that's just as bad as Kamen Rider Battride War's restrictions (Can't do anything outside of the time trials for absolutely no reason). So I should basically leave substories until Premium Adventure if I want to screenshot them? Does Ishin also have an Extra Hard/Legend mode or is that only in 0 and Kiwami?

If you don't want to do them a second time, you'll have to skip them for now. I can't remember it having a Legend mode, but I never really checked or did it.

It also means that you can't take any images or videos of the story sections with the built in share stuff, but I guess that's not an issue for you. 6 blocks story stuff too, but not substory stuff if I remember correctly at least.

Even when he departed on the helicopter he was the only person to look back at Majima.

Am I missing something or is Mad Dog of Shimano just overall not worth it? It seems much less mechanically diverse than Dragon of Dojima and although it's good for clearing regular dudes it doesn't really seem to hold its weight in 1v1 fights especially with how slow it is to start a combo. The running slash is good but requires heat to perform in the first place and is pretty boring to use.

I ended up switching back to Slugger for the finale and had a much better time with it.

Its my first Yakuza game and I think its great. I liking Majima more as a character than Kiryu. I'm also kind of addicted to the hostess minigame (Etsuko is the best). There is no way I'll be able to get platinum; this beast of a game has way too much content.

Just finished grinding 1 trillion yen from Mr. Shakedown. Hopefully thats enough to unlock everything.

Can I play 0 before 1 or does it have spoilers? Is it a Metal Gear situation where playing 3 before 1 and 2 fucks up your understanding of the story?

>>387128947
Release order is always recommended.

>>387128947
I'd play 0 first, especially before 1. There aren't any spoilers except the credits that tell you what's in store for some of the characters in the future.

>>387128947
Release order would be recommended as there's a lot of little nods to just about every other Yakuza game in 0, but story-wise, it's a fine starting point.

These games are so heavy on content that Yakuza 0 will last you a while, easily until Kiwami is released.

>>387124586

I preordered steel book Kiwami last night.

>>387128947
Other anons are right. Release order is the way to go. You'll be able to better appreciate all of the changes that the series went through.

Doesn't release order require you to buy like five other games though? That's a long road to Yakuza 0.

>>387129472

honestly i think playing 1 and 2 is sufficient for 0

1 and 2 focus heavily on Kiryu as the main character and most of his character development is done there

nothing really happened in 3 and then 4/5 have a lot more characters which occupy the spotlight

>>387129472
Yes, it would require you to buy 5 good games that are all worth playing.

Even 3, before some fag says otherwise.

>>387129567

goddammit, meant to finish that by saying 1 + 2 are probably sufficient enough to play 0 and get most of it. 3's little tie-in is only the fortune teller, really, isn't it?

0 gives more context to a certain someone being important in 4/5, that's... about it as well.

3's fine, it's just the orphanage stuff that might put some people off at first. The kids are fun and Mine is an enjoyable villain, not to mention Daigo's coma accuracy and Wesker are absolutely hilarious.

Not to mention if you started with 1 on PS2 it's the first time in the series where you go from cutscene --> fight seamlessly and it was orgasmic.

So buy it? There's an entire PDF translating everything and giving you the main story overview. Yeah, it's not perfect and who knows if KHH will ever get to those video translations, but the guide is so thorough you can platinum the entire game and know what happens in substories and the main story. Sure, it's not as convenient as being in English but it most definitely is something you can play.

>>387127463
its not so bad. beating the dancing king of osaka was true livning hell.

its funny there was a dick move option you could pick if you beat him. its as the dev knew he would be a pain in the dick and you could tell him to fuck off.

>>387124586
I'm still looking forward to Kiwami, but the fact that Sega is editing cutscenes for the NA release is really disappointing. I had hoped the days of stripping random content out of these games were gone.

>>387126298
Why do people hate 3 so much? That was the first one I played, and it hooked me on the series.

>>387132298
Tell me more about this. What's being changed?

>>387132298
Wouldn't be surprised if it was some kind of bug. I mean even guy in charge of localization finds it weird. I mean the point of cutscene was to show shitloads of NPCs on screen.

>>387132419
https://twitter.com/devilleon7/status/896650590968795137

>>387132419
Saw it on the site that shall not be named. Apparently Sega has removed all the Dojima members from a big cutscene. The thing I saw it was an overhead shot of a courtyard, and in the original game there were hundreds of Dojima family members there, and in the new one it's just an empty courtyard. Really weird change to make, but Sega gonna Sega, I guess.

>>387132510
But it's a pre-rendered cutscene, how would a bug like that even happen? If the NPCs were there when it was rendered, then they should always be there.

>>387124586
I've been trying to beat Jo Amon with Majima and I don't want to cheese it with the zap gun but this fucker's attacks are unpunishable
What the fuck am I supposed to do

>>387132650
Maybe because they had to re-render it and they overlooked it. I mean that's the Shimano "introductory" cutscene.

Yes, but I'm not jazzed about the design, I wish it was just the dragon or just the dragon and the koi.

>Enemies block like crazy and nearly never let their guards down meaning fights take forever.
>Bosses take this one step further and now have super armor so they just shrug off attacks and lead into their own combos and block everything nearly all the time.

>Komaki is way easier than his Kenzan counterpart.
>The insane amount of things cut out from the English version and the nonsensical way they kept hostesses despite it.
I still don't get why they kept the hostesses, that means you have to pay for their likeness and voices when all you do is walk into a random Smile Burger and there's this attractive woman there wanting to ride your dick and tell you all her problems to the point of you two getting married in one or two of the cases in two dates.

That's all I can think of.

Waiting for decent sale because 90+ canadabux is just too much
But Kiwami Steelbook? Shipping to my house soon for like 45 dollars.

I just started my second playthrough of 0 on Legend difficulty and Mr. shakedown shook me down hardcore, lost about 50 mil pretty early on. He seems way tougher in this one and I don't have the slime gun yet, tips on getting my cash back?

Cheeze him.
Put the game on easy, pick rush style, 3x square and run away, bait his charge attack and hit him in the back or his big swing where he takes a knee and punch him in the face.
Don't use heat moves, speed is important.
T.made half a trillion of mr shakedown before I got DOD style.

Anyone?

Just level up mad dog style until you can easily kill him and have enough HP to tank any attack save the laser.
I stopped at level 20 but you can go for as many as you like.
Fight broken with broken.

Ended up doing it spamming the mad dog style's counter
Thanks anyways for the advice

Well I'm trying to beat the game on legend, so lowering the difficulty isn't an option, but I'll give it a shot. Just got to majima's first sections and I forgot how late in the game you gain the ability to freely swap between the two of 'em.

The tactic is the same on all difficulties, you'll just have to keep at it for ten extra minutes on legend.

I liked it a lot, pre-ordered Kiwami awhile ago because of it.
