That makes no sense.

>>387214912
Cutscenes and text boxes

brilliant

>>387215021
Yes, I did and it's an amazing game. I only vaguely heard of the franchise before but I bought zero. I've had so much fun with the main story and side quest and minigames, I think I spent about 115 hours total. The devs put a lot of love and detail into it and it shows. Majima and Kiryu areally great protagonists

>>387216449
Yeah I'm a little underwhelmed too, I was expecting a little more. Fighting is fun but the Kiryu parts are pretty boring so far. I literally spent a week on Majimas side only playing the club minigame

>>387214912
That cabaret club business game was really addicting. Especially customizing the platinum girls.

>>387216643

yeah its grear

>>387216449
>im a faggot

I'm so burned out doing Kiryu's business I can't be bothered to do Majima's. I still want his legend style though
Do you have to unlock dragon of dojima style in Kiwami too? that doesn't make sense if so

>>387218594
Dragon of Dojima style gets unlocked by fighting Majima in Kiwami.

>>387214912
It's the Japanese version of "if you pile up a shitload of mediocre content, it becomes good, right?"

if 6 is the last game in the Kiryu chronology what's next for the Yakuza series?
More spin-offs?
A new series with a new character but everything plays the same?

>>387219143
>More spin-offs?
Yes please.

I want WW2-era Yakuza game.

First Time playing it.
Kuze on Hard really kicked my ass.

When are we gonna get a prequel about old man Kazuma? Being a Yakuza in the old days?

>>387220402
They would never make that because it would be rated adults only or something for violence
In all Yakuza games the people you fight magically don't die but Kazuma butchered people

>>387216449

>I have ADD

>>387218594

You should DEFINITELY do Majima's business. It's A LOT better than Kiryus in every way and possibly the best minigame in the whole game. You're missing out if you don't do it.

They really fucked up Kiryu's business, it's boring as hell and tedious.

>>387220815
I prefer games to be games not movies or graphic novels

>>387220935

You're saying that like Yakuza is MGS4.

There's plenty to do besides the story. I was never bothered by the text boxes and neither was a whole lot of people. And besides, the cutscenes are really well done anyways. Maybe this series just isn't for you.

Kuze is a bit of a casual filter. Easily the hardest boss in the early to mid game.

>>387214912
I finished it last night with 105 hours in and 72% completed.
This was an amazing game.
Anyone know the name of the little music box that's played by the watch at the ending?

>>387214912
Can't wait to play it on PC

well this game was too fucking easy on normal. should i play kiwami on hard?

>>387220908
Majima's cabaret club is much more fun and requires a level of skill (or grinding) to complete with a few fights in between. But it nets you next to no money.

Kiryu's real estate game requires no skill at all and rakes in shitloads of money. But it isn't fun and is basically an idle game with a few fights and other minigames thrown in every now and then.

If you're not man enough to farm Mr Shakedowns then Kiryu's real estate at the maximum level is the safest and easiest way to get money.

Also Mad Dog of Shimano absolutely pales in comparison to Dragon of Dojima style. It's worth unlocking and taking a looking at but I really feel like it underperforms except for clearing large amounts of trash pretty quickly.

>>387222928
thanks anon. i loved Zero but at 20+ hour i was frustrated when i was forced to fight non-boss enemies cause it was way to easy and you can always restore your health.

when should you use rush style?
it's only good for 1v1 but beast style's super armor and instant block seem like a much better option for that

>>387223087
>It's only good for 1v1
You can use it to dodge around large groups of people

>>387223087
Rush works a lot better for 1v1s against faster enemies, like Kuze further into the game. Using beast against fast enemies like that doesn't work because they can hit you enough times to break the super armor before you hit them, or they'll just dodge it because it's so slow.

Problem is once you knock a fast boss down as beast you can just spam leg grab slams until they're almost dead and they start kicking out of it, but by then they haven't got enough HP to put up much of a fight.

>mfw beating shakedown for the first time without weapons

what a pain that I can't give Kiry's infinite money to Majima until near the end of the game or something

>>387223843
I finished the game with more money on Majima than Kyriu for some reason, I think it was because of the bonus you get by beating the 5 stars

I always gound myself with more money as Majima than Kiryu, Majima's access to the weapond shop made Mr Shakedown easy fo farming

DAME DA NE

I thought Majima didn't get the 1.5x bonus on mr shakedown that allows you to get hundreds of billions of yen

Gotta love the Saejima and Akiyama duet on the Yakuza 5 soundtrack

>>387225237
Yeah he doesn't get the perk but felt pretty fast since slime gun of good knives trvialized Mr Shakedown

>>387222928
>tfw no continues is exclusive to Legend difficulty
It should've been there by default. No section in the game is difficult enough to warrant continues, especially since you have healing items.

>>387225682
Is Legend actually difficult? Hard was pretty easy with Sera and Lee being the only fights to give me trouble

>>387225682
excuse me I only play Yakuza for its bowling, billiards, and sexy telephone shooting

>>387225824
I've only done NG+, but I assume it's not difficult by too large a margin since it just increases damage values even more.

On that note, it's hilarious to see how broken you become on NG+. You can get bosses down to 1 HP before they've even triggered their QTE.

Are they ever gonna bring 0 Majima back or is he relegated to being a shitty meme machine for the rest of the franchise now?

wasn't Majima's vision going in his good eye by Yakuza 5?

>>387229637
>not purposely losing 90 billion with kiryu so you can get back 1.5 times as much
stop crying about chump change

is miracle johnson real in the yakuza universe or is it just that Kiryu is ignorant of popular culture and bad with foreign names, meaning he was friends with the real michael jackson?

>>387228682
realy make me think

Is it worth spending CP on girls for the cabaret, or are the ones you get through sidequests and find around town enough?

>>387229839
you'll only get gold hostesses from it but they can be useful if you suddenly need to rotate out a platinum hostess when you weren't ready

>>387229694
you mean the swearing and the different turns of phrase instead of a more literal translation?

>>387229694
Like Kiryu calling Kuze 'sir' instead of brother? It made more sense.

The two or three people here who have it have spoken nothing but good things about it. The only negative I've ever heard of against it is the gun-kata style is completely broken while the other styles deal half the damage it does or something like that which would be the same situation Kenzan was in with the dual katana vs everything else.

>tfw /v/ memed you into playing this trash
It's a dogshit series with almost yearly releases that hasn't innovated its gameplay beyond the PS2 era. Like >>387228758 says, go look at a gameplay video of the first game and you'll see it's the same shit.

>>387221087
90% of the game is dialogue and cutscenes though, with a large chunk of it being sprung on the player as they're walking through the streets, pulling them out of the gameplay for long periods of time. It's almost like the devs wanted to make a visual novel instead of an actual game. Yeah, the mini-games are there, but all of them excepting the cabaret club and pocket circuit racing are shallow as fuck and half are ones most people will have already seen in other games like GTA. Unique mini-games like karaoke, disco, and the sega arcade don't mean shit when there are only a few songs or games to choose from.

Yakuza 0 is basically a visual novel with a few hours of mini-game diversion thrown in.
