I just beat this game and holy shit it was great. The only problem

>>387573054
yeah, they literally made no changes to all the yakuza games they made

>>387573054
You should have just waited for Kiwami or started with Yakuza 0.

The first is getting rereleased in like a week. Why didn't you wait?

2 plays a bit better, 3 plays the same as 2? 4 is a lot better, so yeah they improve.

They fixed all the problems I had with the controls in the second game.

>>387573054
Why didn't you just waited for the remake/remastered on the 29th? Should've started with zero if you haven't been to yakuza on this day of age

Controls get better. Story gets worse.

>>387574429
>>387574513
>>387574623
I just feel like I won't be able to enjoy the series as much if I start with the brand new one with tight controls and good graphics. Also almost all remakes suck, why would this be any different?

>>387575682
3,4 and 5 still play really well. It's only 2 that's a bit antiquated but even then a lot of fans feel like it's still the best one.

Anyways, Kiwami adds a lot to the original and is more of a highly expanded remake rather than just a by the numbers remake. It also has added story connections to Yakuza 0. It's probably still worth checking out and would probably be interesting to see the parallels to the first since you recently played it.

I love shit like this. Things that are collectable and serve functions outside of the game are neat. I'd rather have this than some fucking exclusive DLC garbage because it's ALWAYS absolute garbage. OH BOY! A DUMB SKIN! OR SOME STUPID GOLDEN WEAPON! OR A CHALLENGE PACK! HURRAY! Fuck that. I'd rather have something interesting like collectable glasses. The only collectable shit I hate is when it's some dumb statue because they're pretty much always some huge, cheaply and sloppily painted pile of crap made with shit materials and cheap molds that dilute the detail. Not to mention I really don't give a fuck about static statues and prefer to collect articulated figures.

Yes.

>>387585757
Not a single Yakuza is bad enough to skip it. Even lowest points, like localized Yakuza 3, 15fps Dead Souls and Yakuza 6 are worth playing.

>>387585757
If you're already 5 games into the series you're still going to enjoy it.

Gameplay wise it's still pretty tight.

>>387585757
It's pretty good, but has a fairly slow start and 1/5 of the main story is a rhythm game

>>387585858
is there a way to play yakuza 3 with everything still in it? Also I heard that there is medieval spinoffs of the series to, is there a way to get them translated?

>Yakuza 3 with everything still in it
No, sadly, that content is untranslated, so it's not possible to make a patch for now. Maybe some day somebody will agree to properly translate a TON of text. Maybe even for money, but I can't pay him - I don't have money.

>medieval spinoffs
You can play them Kenzan with egomaniac's let'splay and KHH's story translation. Gamefaq's guide is pretty good too. Or you can wait a year or more for a lazy faggot to finish translation patch and play it on hacked PS3 or emulator.

Ishin has a full guide by KHH, VO youtube translation by Salty Yen and KHH is making translated video walkthrough right now too.

PSP games are good too, but translation patch team couldn't finish working on first game, so you're out of luck.

>>387586261
How bad is the localization? Is the story more or less the same.

>>387587002
Yeah, story is the same. Dog name was changed, few (25 out of 125) quests removed (everything related to hostess), mahjong was removed (sega believes it's too hard for gaijins, it seems). If you are not aware of these changes - it's pretty SPICY.

>>387587002
Localizers were shitty programmers and fucked up the code so much they had to cut content and say "well, guys, too japanese, so we've decided to leave some things out of the game".
While in reality they just fucked up cutscenes and scripts.

Also, the translation was worse than average with everyone calling Kiryu "Kazuma" in subs, while it was clearly KIRYU-SAN (the most jarring being the finale, where the final boss in translation lost all respect he had for Kiryu to just call him by his name).

I'm hype for Kiwami after getting into the series with 0. After that I don't know whether to wait on possible remakes of the rest or just play through the whole series to be ready for 6.

Played the first one a few weeks ago. Honestly some of the most fun I've had with a game in a while.

Been holding off on the 2nd to learn some japanese so that when I play it I can try to learn the language a bit which is probably stupid.

Also can't get the emulator to look as good as it did with the first.

I thought Kiwami is shit?

There are also HD versions of 1&2.

>>387595549
Kiwami is literally Yakuza 0 with Yakuza 1 story. It's your choice whether you like it or not, but here you're getting the most polished gameplay in the series with lots of side content.

>>387595748
That's not what I heard. Lots of people seem to dislike Kiwami quite a bit.

>>387595825
That's the main reason (plus they changed leveling up main style by fighting Majima multiple times). Kiwami is a cashgrab to quickly remake original game using Yakuza 0 assets, but here in the west game costs half the price, so main reason to hate the game is gone.

>>387595748
>>387595825
the styles, especially dragon of dojima and beast are nerfed to fuck though. You can no longer tank everything in beast style and dragon of dojima isn't even worth using until you beat majima about 30 or so times

Too long, didn't see version: Kiwami is excellent for people who already played the first one, but it's extremely hard to go from Kiwami to Yakuza 2 which doesn't have a remake. Hence why Yakuza 1 is a better starting point for people who are new to the series.

Man, I thought you guys were exaggerating the stuff with Haruka in 5 but dear lord was that a slog. Even Akiyama barely made it not feel like it took a year and a half. It's not like the dance battles against T-Set were bad or anything, it's just all that running around to recruit certain people and having to do stuff for the guy under the bridge if you want the dress up power for the next dance.

5 isn't a bad game at all, it just has some low points.

>Kiryu's entire section is great and intriguing, and his taxi stuff is actually fun especially the street racing.
>Saejima's prison stuff is much better than it was in 4 but it has the stupid imagination bit twice which feels like it takes forever and a day.
>You also have the hunting village which takes like two or three hours before you can leave but it's fun for me.
>But then you get to Haruka's bit and it just takes FOREVER
Constantly interrupted by people, constantly shifting between tons of cutscenes, constantly having to practice dancing, constantly having to refill the climax bar if you don't want T-Set to just slaughter you with idol heat, etc. Her story was easily as long as the last two parts put together (Ignoring substories and stuff). Plus there's the fact that we know 6's story starts off with a middle finger to all of Haruka and Park's struggles in 5 so that makes it even more irritating.
>That way they ruined Akiyama by adding one simple Heat Action that takes up a good chunk of his situations that takes a month and a half to see through and it does terrible damage.
Seriously, why did they add that wall push kicking Heat Action? It's absolutely retarded.
Park being Majima's ex wife was a legit surprise though, I loved that.

>>387599896
If you want to 100% Dead Souls it's easily around 100 hours. The hostesses and the journey to Amon will make sure of that. 5 is even longer due to the amount of characters, the amount of substories, and needing to do something like 31 minigames. I think they also made it so minigames don't stack so beating something on Expert won't count for the lower stuff which is what happened in 3.

It suffers from some pacing issues that's for sure. Chapter 2 and 3 takes it the worst because you're kept in the dark about the main story until you reach the last part of the chapter. Then when you get to Kamurocho in the last chapter they infodump everything.
Mechanically it is superior to 4 discounting the newcomer. Saejima and Akiyama has been buffed and everyone(except Haruka) can now participate in the underground coliseum.

Doesn't Akiyama have a similar heat action that triggers when you have the enemy near the wall in 4 as well? That was pretty long too. At the very least there's this L2 button to disable heat action.

Why does everyone think Ryuji is such a great villain? His motives were pretty weak.

>>387608143
You know, people joke about how Kiryu kills random people on the street all the time, but damn. That dude is legit fucking dead after that.

Having never played the series, should I start with 0 or Kiwami? I don't think I can start with the original ps2 version.

He had it but it's way shorter and did way more damage. In 5 it can take up a lot of situations where you want to use another one (Like Pole Smasher for instance) and even if you don't mash the button it's as long as the one in 4 if you pressed the button. The damage is also incredibly low, in this webm the guy is literally endgame and he barely does less than a third of a health bar with it on a mook. Bosses have like double the defense compared to a mook.

Here's the full Y4 one. Keep in mind the only thing that gets removed in the Y5 one when you miss is one of the kicks if I remember right while in 4 it just cuts out the final kick.

>>387608696
On the first cutscene of Shinada right now. I'm rushing through it on Hard to see the story so I can do my 100% run on Ex-Hard (The games prior to Dead Souls I'd do my 100% on Hard and just Golden Gun Ex-Hard but I want to change it up now) and I just learned I have to do a third playthrough if I want that normal trophy. I am internally screaming thanks to that one since it means Haruka's chapter again but I'll at least be able to carry over the Golden Gun and everything from my Ex-Hard so it's not all bad.

Mine was getting hyped up, though. You knew he was going to be the final boss, Shibusawa and Iwata were just like
>oh yeah we're super strong
Aizawa I could forgive since his boss battle is fucking amazing.

>>387609453
surprisingly decent and will probably never appear in a new game
I was backing him as the protagonist of Y7

>>387609453
This is how Kiryu should've been in Zero, instead of that he's literally just Kiryu.

>>387609159
I forgot you can miss the input to skip rest of akiyama's heat action. But it also sucks that you have to hold down L2 half the time to prevent red heat action from triggering

>>387609696
It makes sense but also doesn't

So Haruka fucks dogs right?

>>387608680
>not liking Shibusawa

What a fucking pleb. Silent guys are always the ones you should be scared of

>>387609497

That guy was bear-mode. He's probably bigger and buffer than Saejima.

WHY

What's the trick to Shinada? He feels very weak even compared to Tanimura and this My Meteor Tackle seems like a pain in the ass to land on an enemy. Tanimura I get, he had short punches but you use the parry to gain Heat and then retaliate with a wide variety of Heat Actions. With Shinada it seems like they want you to use My Meteor Tackle rather than Heat Actions.

>>387610064
You can fight him in 4 using IF7

>>387611396
>it seems like they want you to use My Meteor Tackle rather than Heat Actions
You can loop it if you have enough heat. His regular heat action does pitiful amount of damage. You're best damage dealers is probably the circle follow ups on strong(triangle)

>>387608031
Amazing Grace, can confirm.

Also, here's the sad part: the singer is long dead.
She sang Amazing Grace in Yakuza 1 and Holy Night, Silent Night in Yakuza 2.

>>387612353
I don't seem to follow, does the O press happen after I've gripped a guy in the tackle or immediately after the first hit before the tackle? I tried it a couple times on Ono but I couldn't seem to get it to work how you're describing it. The best I could do was square x3 --> triangle x2 = tackle forward --> square which throws the guy to the ground.

Are there sidequests you get from finishing the platinum hostesses special training worth doing in Y0? I'm at the point where I'm gonna start making hard cuts about what content I decide to do, since I'm worried about getting burnt out before I even finish the game.

Hell nah I started on 4 and even that is nuts. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I had a blast and 4 is what got me into the series but in a perfect world I would have started at 1.

>>387615024

Next it was Bear Hug counters

What's Kiwami's cheese move this time around?

>>387615828
brawler counters are still decent and tiger drops in dragon of dojima are still great
it's just that unlocking tiger drops in dragon of dojima takes a fucking eternity

>>387573054
The controls get more smooth in each sequel, 0 is the epitome

>>387615918
With exception of 5 and 6.

You DID platinum 0, right anon?

>>387615918
then they take a nosedive at 6 by forcing you either move at a walking speed or sprint (which runs out and has to recharge) when not in battle and only move at full sprint in battle. It's surprisingly hard to just move around enemies in 6 since you have to move so fast

>>387615998
5 got way smoother than 4, what are you talking about? You can nearly turn on a dime mid-combo in 5 and go from punching ahead to behind to finishing ahead all in the same combo now without much trouble. It's not as smooth and freeform as 6 in that regard but come on man. Akiyama alone proves that it's much smoother and more fluid with how easily you can direct his kicks.

>>387587203
They called him kazuma because thats what they called him in the english dub and the translaters left that for the subs in 2,3 and 4.

>>387584363
i loved the dub

>>387615828
It's gonna be a real fucking slog isn't it?
I knocked out most of the sub stories and all of Real Estate when it first dropped just to be disappointed with D.O.D.
is it going to take as long as that? granted, I had a blast with doing all that shit in 0

>>387593829
But thats how my usa iso looks when emulating(and on my ps2)

>>387616093
Sure did.
Back in february also.

>>387616293
In 4 they call him Kiryu most of the time.
The game was translated by different guys (so no Shintaro FUMA).

>>387616345
In Kiwami D.O.D. is better than 0's D.O.D.

Yeah there is a way to disable it but there is blur in that scene on the usa version via ps2 hardware.

But it was never that blurry when you finished off an enemy like in your tiger screenshot. That one was a emulation fuckup.

Yes, movement feels really stiff compared to Y4. Not to mention mandatory slowdown when bumping into pedestrian.

>>387617401
Hey, buddy. Aside from Haruka's slow chapter it's the best one IMO

>>387617521
Movement's fine in battle, especially the sways which feel way faster. You're right on wandering around though, it's at its worst when playing with Haruka and then when you go Akiyama you can suddenly fly down stairs in like two steps while Haruka takes gingerly steps of 2 stairs per second.

>>387617521
I'd blame that more on the PS3 hardware, it'd probably play a lot better on the PS4.
why Sony didn't implement backwards compatibility in the PS$ I have no idea

>>387617686
He means that when you touch a pedestrian you go from full speed to walking speed in an instant, not that the framerate drops. For some reason they decided running around and knocking down pedestrians was too much of a good thing so they toned it down in 5 by forcing you to come to walking pace if you so much as touched a shoulder.

No, no, I don't mean slowdown as in framerate drops, that is different issue. I mean how your character reacts when bumping into anyone else.

Ahh ok thanks for clearing that up.
Frame rate drops didn't help though.

>>387618135
Yeah, Hokkaido is constant slowdown.

>>387617862
I'd say their consumer base is so loyal that they'll support it anyway, so Sony could put out a lesser quality product and still sell a lot.

When will they release Yakuza 3-5 on PS4? Can't be bothered to get a piece of shit console like the PS3 just for those games.

>>387617862
In case of PS3 Sony fucked up with Cell. You should be happy they ditched it with PS4, but lack of BC is the result.
