Batting, slots, UFO catcher, chou-han, poker, blackjack, roulette, Love in Heart, and the hostess club (8 or 10 girls between Shine and Jewel if I remember right). Underground Coliseum too but I wouldn't count that as a minigame personally.

Nah, it's a more polished Yakuza, 0 felt more modern on a technical standpoint.

It would be much better if it didn't have arbitrary limitations that was imposed for each chapter.

Sure, it's practically cheating because Majima gives so much EXP, but who the hell cares? The bosses in the game (especially the Akai Brothers) are dirty cheaters anyway.

Just pick what you think they'd want to hear. 90% of the time pandering to them raises the bar, only sometimes do they hate being patronized or pandered to but it's very obvious when you just stay away from those options. The guy at MEB or your city's equivalent also gives you an overview on how you should respond to the women. Akiyama's Honoka in 5 was said to be eccentric by the guy so all I did was just pick the options that flattered her, praised her for her hard work, and made Akiyama seem a bit like an airhead and it worked out fine.

So that's why Kiryu becomes a billionaire in 0 but is poor as shit in Kiwami
>>
>>389026434
I don't know if Kiwami/0 have it but the Gacha Drink raises the bar by at least half and gives you an item, so if that's in them always buy that. Otherwise you can probably go back to MEB and ask the guy there about whatever hostess you're trying to get with and he should give you a spiel again. Either way, when it comes to hostesses just pander to them and if the conversation looks like she's pissed about something or trying to steer the conversation away just do your best not to belittle her.

Keep in mind all you need to get is where the stop is, anywhere past that doesn't advance the end bar so you don't need to worry. Only extend your visit if you haven't hit the stop.

You need to exchange points constantly with the clown at the entrance to the city. This game spoonfeeds players. You get some of the best items in the game, if you can get enough points. Unlocking the ability to eat while full is a goldmine for farming points. Just go to each restaurant and select everything on their menu, all in one sitting.

Sadly, it's quite the opposite. Any dreams of going to a magical land filled with hot Asian women have been shattered.

The ability to dash nonstop + money shoes are pretty much needed too offset the majima dumping XP down your throat.

>>
>>389017846
>>389026906

This is precisely why I've been having all my friends who want to get into the series start with 0. It's one of the few times that playing a series out of release order is okay because 0 just plays so well into 1. Whereas you play release order and you go 5 games before you get back to characters like Nishiki and at that point he doesn't mean as much to you anymore whereas you play 0 into Kiwami and it's a fucking gutpunch. They've even retconned things in Kiwami to fit with 0 it's clearly meant to be played this way now.
>>
>>389027171
Literally why the fuck is he still alive in Yakuza 3 and not sinking away in the depths of the Tokyo Bay? Kiryu even fucking recruits the asshole in Dead Souls like he's an old friend or some shit.
>>
>>389027171
I lost track of whom he might be, so I looked him up...and completely spoiled the game. Talk about an edgy storyline.

I've spent so much time doing substories and minigames that I haven't actually progressed with the story. I have several collections almost complete (progress gated by the fact that I'm still in chapter 4).
>>
>>389027478
>Whereas you play release order and you go 5 games before you get back to characters like Nishiki and at that point he doesn't mean as much to you anymore
He meant nothing to me when played 1 regardless. He was a coward who couldn't stand Kiryu being the center of attention, hated that Yumi liked Kiryu more than him, and had a terrible final boss fight. Even Jingu put up more of a fight than Nishiki. The only decent scene he even had in the original was his suicide and even that I couldn't care about.

People starting with 0 will have a new perspective but you just didn't care about him at all in the original. Sera as well since just just suddenly dies moments after he's introduced. My first playthrough I didn't even know who died when I went to the funeral it was so abrupt.

>>389027516
>Kiryu even fucking recruits the asshole in Dead Souls like he's an old friend or some shit.
Keep in mind every single mission with him all he does is bitch about being with Kiryu and begrudgingly helps him from that sniper. They're not friends, they're just dealing with their hatred by surviving against zombies.

I wanted to finish all the substories before finishing the main story like in Zero but most of the substories in Kiwami are pretty straight forward and boring so I decided to just do them in the premium adventure.

>>389028216
>but what's wrong with the new engine
The base PS4 it's 30 fps with framedrops, constant screen tearing, several second load times for battles, and I believe 900p. On the Pro it's 30 fps solid with the only framedrops being in karaoke (Though I never noticed anything in the demo but it could have changed for retail), no screen tearing, instant loading into fights, and it's 1080p. Fighting also feels fluid but way too light for everything but that's not really the engine's fault.

I have faith Kiwami 2 will be improved since 6 was their first foray into using the engine and they don't want to mess things up again. People who are denouncing K2 for using the engine are only doing it because they don't trust it after 6, but they've had what, a year to improve it? They might not hit 60 FPS but you can bet your ass they at least listened to the complaints the Japanese players brought after 6 with the engine.

2 is still the best in the series there's almost no way they can fuck it up as long as they get things together technically.

I haven't started Kiwami yet because I've been finishing up Epic Mickey but does the addition of the Yakuza 0 styles trivialize the game at all or is it balanced around it?

Baccarat is literally how you make millions in seconds starting from either 3 or 4. If you do side content and 100% it's mandatory, and for slots in particular it's worth it to get cheat items. Mahjong also gives you an instant Riichi Ippatsu if I remember right with its cheat item.

It was fun but the problem is they repeated that first song at least 20 times Then it seeps into your head and you end up liking listening to it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOQKO4yk0Qg
I keep humming this damn song.

Seriously though, her part goes on for hours even if you ignore everything but the main story. Constant "practices" when all you need is Idol Heat and to never drop a combo to beat anything which is incredibly easy due to how lenient the timing is, constant scenes that aren't cutscenes which take forever to get through, and having to deal with wandering back and forth between Dyna Chair and somewhere else. Akiyama and Park save that part.

>>389033003
>Implying Jiro being replaced by Mario is not a massive improvement.
>>
>>389027883
Haven't played 6 yet but the combat does look worryingly barebones and janky. One of the things I like about the Yakuza series is that it's almost purely iterative. Each game is more or less the same as the last but with various improvements and additions. Yakuza 6 seems to throw all that out and try to reinvent the wheel and as a result it's not only less refined than the last 3-4 games in the series, but it has less content than them too. And the parts that were supposed to make it worth it, such as new physics, aren't actually good at all. If they really want to stick with the dragon engine then it might be another 2-4 games before it's developed enough that it's as good as the rest of the series.

The hokuto no ken spinoff is apparently using the 0 engine though. Either they don't consider themselves to have enough experience to develop 2 dragon engine games simultaneously, or they're admitting that the dragon engine is actually not that good.

The way the Kiwami finishers are nestled into the early upgrades reminds me a bit of The Wonderful 101 since one of its crucial early upgrades is also bought and pretty important by the second level. I'm glad I saw some footage talking about the Kiwami finishers before playing. If the game had a one time warning covering the importance of the finishers going forward, at least recommending the Rush finisher before proceeding to the funeral, Shimano's fight would have been much a much smoother experience for a lot of players. Maybe the fight in Yuya's bar could have had its boss introduce the regen mechanic but since you have three characters pummeling him, it wouldn't have much effect and demonstrate how important the finishers are when Kiryu is fighting alone for the majority. I'm not into handholding, but I can see how an oversight about a crucial upgrade can leave a bad impression at the start, or maybe it should be up to the player to discern the upgrades importance for themselves and Shimano acts as a lesson to those that didn't notice the importance of the Kiwami finishers when examining the upgrade trees.

>>389033578
Y1 works fine. Y2 has some rendering lighting issues in cutscenes but some people get around it by some optimized settings. Performance wise they both work.

Ignore /v/ shitposters. PS2 emulation is good to excellent 90%+ of games. Some particular titles have some issues but its unlikely you'll run into problems with Yakuza.

Fuck the chink who thought of that one I am fucking sick of it. Also fuck some of those extra missions in the main menu like that harder boat chase.

>>389035032
Boat chase is easy, just run it about four or five times and you should know the turns he takes, then as long as you're on his tail constantly ramming the boat he can never shoot. For 7 pairs it's all just luck, what you can do is pay the 50k to the guy at the counter for ranked matches and then you have infinite tries for no cost, this works for all the later games too so when you need to hit 50k in 5 that's how you can do it without blowing through thousands of yen.

Cutscene-heavy, pretty funny side quests, story is kind of a soap opera with buff guys. Gameplay varies. There are some thing that feel weird about the combat that haven't really been changed, but it's a fun brawler with a progression system that means you'll unlock new moves all the time.

Do we know how well Yakuza Zero sold?
>>
>>389034726
i got pretty good at it in the end
every character besides jennifer and fransesca like to play the same hand probably 60% or more of the time and another almost all the rest

they would generally mostly play their 2 strongest hands so whichever hand gets you either a win or a draw against their 2 best, use it every time

jennifer and fransesca seem to mix it up more and like to limit you to your weakest hand a lot so pick it and hope for a rainbow attack

use one of those best two if you don't care about winnings
otherwise, maria and yurie have a chance to get up and knockout their opponent instead of losing, so that can sometimes get you over the line in a final

draw tap-offs are fixed so just tap it hard but don't kill yourself
it seems like the strongest players come out on top the most

I'll never understand that, just port Kiwami 1. If it sells only decently you will still have part of the people who liked it more motivated to buy a PS4 to play 0 and Kiwami 2, if it sells well they opened the door of another western market.

>>389037149

It's the opposite, there is no reason to make it happen and get some extra cash and more recognition, and in the west it's probably still not selling that well, just better than before.

Gameplay-wise, Zero is probably the most complete game. It also feature some cameos and cute moments that you'll miss out on if you haven't played the other games, but the same goes for Kiwami; it makes some references to Zero that logically weren't included in Yakuza 1 years ago.

I'd say save Zero for last. Start with the original or Kiwami.

That's why I considered more cases in the first part of my post and talked about extra cash not important profits in the second. PC ports are cheap and don't need to sell fucktons of copies to be profitable, especially when steam fee is well-known for being low.

>you don't know what's involved in porting a game.
Please explain, so far it only looks you have no idea of what you are talking about.
There are even many publishers that keep porting a series even when it has sales that look low, and the reason is clear, porting is cheap enough to to not be the huge risk you are trying to depict, and the jap pc ports market has only grown in those years.

Kiwami has the advantage of being a 0 expansion yet 0 is still much better

>A majority of the bosses are literally who tier with a bunch of fodder grunts added to the mix, no one Kuze-tier (Or any of Majimas cool bosses like Sera, Kashiwagi, Nishitani, etc)
>Nishiki is a garbage villain even with the much improved backstory (which makes him absolutely pathetic and an almost nonthreatening antagonist) because 1's original writing for him fucking sucked, every time you see him on screen you just want to go back to disco dancing, karaoke singing and fighting Tojo guys/Kuze

Zero expanded on characters you knew from previous games/from the original, that's why it was so cool fighting them. I wouldn't have given a fuck about fighting Kashiwagi/Sera if I played Zero as my first but fighting them with knowledge of the previous games was cool as shit. I enjoyed Kiwami more than Zero because of how straight forward and simple the story was compared to other games at least.
Plus the game was difficult which I liked.

Random, but does anyone know why I cant get a perfect ISO of Dead Souls to run on 4.81 CEX PS3? I get an error everytime I try to load it.

Is Dead Souls the Undead Nightmare equivalent, has a story, but completely non canon?

That's pretty much how it is to the series, yes. It gets referenced though, both 5 and Kiwami for sure have stuff that reference it. It's not on the same caliber as the other games though, it's really clunky and has a terrible framerate but it's charming and the story is fun to go through.

There was a guy here months back who knew Japanese and commented on this. He said the games (Both Kenzan and Ishin) use modern Japanese outside of certain things like period-accurate honorifics and period-accurate terms. There's also a complete dictionary of said terms in-game that you can look up at any time and in the text bars (At least in Kenzan) you could press a button (I think it was triangle) if a Kanji was in yellow I think it was and it would give you the definition.

Goddamn that Majima fight in the batting cages was intense. Switching movesets mid fight and pummeling me with the same moveset he used in 0, fucking great.

The Majima everywhere system is a little silly though. They should've held off till after the batting cages fight to introduce it and just added a handful of optional Majima fights. Feels really out of place constantly fucking around with him all game and then suddenly having a fight to the death.

The thing is that with Kenzan at least (I'm assuming Ishin is the same way) you didn't need to know anything about the history the game was based on even if we completely ignore period-accurate terms. Musashi has so many liberties taken with who he was that the Kenzan character is basically a different guy, the story is structured so that it introduces everyone properly and explains their roles (Though the Emperor and who Musashi assassinates is kind of left to the imagination), and the only historical reference to something from that time period that I could even see that you would need to know some Japanese history on was a substory where a fake Benkei was blocking you from crossing the bridge into the suburbs that you fight Amon on.

>but I dont think I would enjoy looking at a guide trying to follow along
You only need to do that if you want to 100% it. For Kenzan you just need two monitors, then just sync the subbed videos and copy what KHH does. For Ishin it's written guides that summarize things and a let's player who verbally translates things as he plays through it.
>>
>>389047548
It's fun having a laugh at Sega's excuse for Ishin, because it's so unfounded. The samurai games are no harder to follow than the mainline games with their foreign criminal clan structure and numerous families and characters to keep track of.

The reason Kenzan and Ishin didn't happen was because the franchise was already niche in the West. Ishin especially because at that point we were 2 mainline games behind Japan and 5 didn't look like it would happen. Now with the release of 5, 0, Kiwami within two years of each other and 6 right around the corner we're caught up on mainline games. All that's left is spinoffs and Kiwami 2 at least until the end of 2018 with Online. Honestly no reason not to try Ishin now. Nioh sold amazing in the west, and people eat up samurai like crazy. At the very least SEGA should be honest with their excuses and just give us a definitive no.

Kenzan will never happen though because it's not a PS4 title.

I've played Yakuza 1 and 2 on the PS2, but no further than that. I was planning to get 3 soon and move on with the series in release order, but I'm interesting in playing Kiwami, partially because it's fucking cheaper than 3.

I'm a stickler for playing games in release order, but this being a remake of a game I've already played, would there be any issues just picking it up? I know it recycles some stuff from 0, I'm a bit worried those things won't be as impressive in 0 if I see them in Kiwami first.
>>
>>389048221
Kenzan and Ishin actually have a story that is presented better than a series of short cutscenes and two-paragraph missions briefs. If anything Nioh requires some familiarity with Japanese history while Kenzan/Ishin you're fine just knowing there's a war going on. Any relevant info you need is given to you during cutscenes and dialogue with NPCs.

That's because Nioh's plot was an unfocused piece of garbage salvaged from an abandoned screenplay, with the whole thing summing up to "muh spirit, stop Kelley, you're welcome Ieyasu".

If you only played it a year ago it might not be worth it right now. The story additions aren't really anything major, so it'll all feel very similar. You can play it before 0 fine though, as 0 has much more content and length so it'll still be impressive even if you play Kiwami first.

I'd suggest at least continuing on to 3. It kind of wraps up 1-3 as a trilogy of sorts before 4 and 5 start introducing multiple characters and POVs. A lot of people shit on 3 because of the orphanage stuff, but it's a great game and the orphanage stuff just adds a nice layer of character to Kiryu who is already great.

Play them in the order they released. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 6. Any game that doesn't have a number in the title (after the first game, of course) is either not worth your time, not localized, or not canon.

it should've been toned down a fuck ton to the point where you should only unlock special heat moves by doing it. theres nothing fun about having a fourth style thats shit for the majority of the game.

Thanks lads, I'll go for 0 then Kiwami.
I don't have much time to play so they'll probably release kiwami 2 until then.

Reminder there's Yakuza 0 on sale on European PS Store and it's cheaper than Kiwami right now.
