It's his origin story of why he's edgy in the others more than anything. They had to adapt the story in Kiwami to fit 0 though.

Does anyone know what this Digest Narration Voice pack for Ishin does? It costs ￥300. From what I understand reading:
http://www.4gamer.net/games/229/G022933/20131217049/
There's narration at the start of each chapter as a recap, and the first half is Ryoma while having the DLC also lets you have Haruka and a couple other characters?

>Each chapter of “Ryu ga Gotoku: Ishin!” is concluded by a cut scene highlighting the events of the chapter. With this bonus content, the player can now change the voice to the character of their liking.

>>389322115
Ah, thanks a lot, so it's definitely not worth it unless you can speak the language.

Why the fuck did they make Dragon style so bad in Kiwami?

>>389322310
If you're talking about double finishing blow needing Heat, I guess it's to make it similar to Brawler or that was their idea for Y0 combat.
Also despite different appearance, Heat in Kiwami works almost exactly the same as in Y0.

>>389322310
It weirds me out how useless it is before upgrades.

>>389322626
I'm at Majima rank A and even with the dodge and attack speed upgrades it's just slow as molasses, with no redeeming qualities.

>>389322310

to make use of the shitty Majima Everywhere System

They made a huge mistake making Sera a cool dude in Zero.

I expected Akiyama show up in the end but didn't happened

>>389323760

they replaced him with some random

no idea why

kiwami is a fucking mess

why is jingu the most cancer boss fight

>>389324489
Because of his henchman.

>>389324489

His fight was great, don't get this meme. Probably people who've never played 4.

2 is still the best Yakuza game. Can't expect most of you little toddlers to have played it though.

>Jingu but worse and with 100 cops and using Tanimura
No one should have to deal with that.

>>389325413

No, did it on Hard. It's not that bad. Tanimura's fight is still the worse even with Sacred Tree set, if you even know what that is.

>>389325472

Do your heat moves upgrade as you use them more often in Yakuza Kiwami? This is my second Yakuza game, I played a little of 5 before this game just to see how I like the gameplay, and really enjoyed how your heat actions gained extra attacks. I haven't noticed it happening in Yakuza Kiwami, is that mechanic just not in the game?

I WANNA BE YOUR GIRLLLL
WUUUUU

>>389326210
Only 4 and 5 really did that from what I know, and even in 5 it was scaled way back compared to 4. 4 had like five or six Heat Actions that you could increase their chains on but 5 only had one or two (Wall slam --> kick and I think ground finishers), other than that is wasn't normal. What you can do is go to your abilities and see if any of them mention something like "Continued use will enhance this ability" in the text since that's what it says in 5, in 4 it was a blue line in the "How to" section of the move.

Hostess?

Gotta be honest, Until 0 I never really did the Hostess stuff. After 0 showed me it can kinda be neat in it's own right.

>>389329484
Yep. I didn't really care for the hostesses you could date up until about 3 or 4 but they usually have one or two good girls in the lot so it's worth doing them even if they take like an hour each and cost about ￥2-300,000 to max each one out. It's a lot harder in the ones prior to 5 due to the heart system though, if you piss them off right at the end of 10/15/20 hearts it means either an extension or doing an entire visit again without messing up.

Riku's by far the best in 5 though.

I have to say I had a good laugh when I met Majima in the bar. Would be even better if I haven't attack me 2 minutes before going in and again 5 minutes after finishing bartender Majima fight.
This system had potential to be fun, but its just way to often

I guess I can think about doing them finally when I go to the old games.

I suppose you're still working on Y5.

>>389330030
Nearing the end. It's Shion then finish up sea fishing, once I get to Kamurocho I do all the gambling stuff which should add 20 hours thanks to Slots and Pachinko, and then the last 8 substories and then coliseum. This game is just ridiculous, I'm at 140 hours now and still on Shinada, not even Kenzan took this long and that game felt like it took an eternity.

You won't be able to do all the Majima related shit again until Chapter 10. So yeah.

>>389330762
>I DON'T CARE IF MAJIMA IS DESTROYING CONTINUITY, THE LEAST HE CAN DO IS FIGHT ME WHILE DOING IT
Actually they did something to explain why he's here perfectly fine later in game.

Yeah Shingu's fight is kinda bullshit on hard. Can't imagine what it's gonna be like on legendary

It's doable once you start using Brawler's guard tiger drop lite.

Anyone know if the music played in the shops and clubs have been ripped yet?

I want one of them as my ring tone for my phone.

and I thought Kiryu's knife action in 6 was brutal.

>>389332308
RIP Baseball man. We hardly got to know you beyond 5.

So i played like this. Yakuza 1 > Yakuza 0 > Yakuza 2.
Should i play 3 or Kiwami now?

yakuza 0 should have been a reboot of the series, either that or they should have added more scenes and better writing in kiwami mostly because Majimas decent into madness was a complete 180.

he hardly showed any sort of craziness at the end of Zero same with his obsession with kiryu.
yeah, time has passed between the end of zero to the start of kiwami but thats where they should have explained things more.

i got into yakuza starting with 3 so i knew majima was crazy but when they released zero, he had so much character development so it would have been nice if they actually showed how exactly he came to be that way.

>>389332812
3 gets a bunch of shit. But I still think it's worth playing. Hold off on Kiwami for the time being.

>>389332812
wait until they re-release 3
it got butchered in localization

>>389326046
really hate the gambling and weapon crafting for that 100%. Its just so tedious and boring

>>389332812
Up to you, do you want a new game or a rerelease of 1 that has enough changes to basically make it a new game? You've pretty much seen the story of 1 already but since you did 0 it also couldn't hurt to see the stuff added for people coming from 0 in Kiwami.

Really, it's up to you to decide which one holds more value to you, a new game or a facelift?

>>389324489
>Kiwami 2
>they make Daejin Kim fight worse than Jingu

It was already bullshit in 2, please don't fuck it up

>>389333051
>wait until they re-release 3
Are they re-releasing it?

>>389333606
i don't think there are plans to yet but hopefully they will

Playing Kiwami right now. Fuck this car shooting scene. Can beat this shit.

keep trying. took me almost an hour.

dont be a pussy and do it on easy mode.

Anybody know how to get 'Defeat one kiwami opponent' in the Kiwami completion list?

i feel like such a scrub sometimes when i spam heal items on bosses.

>>389335119
Sorry dude, sometimes I just need a specific costume to get an ability, I don't wanna fight him too many times before locking him out of a chapter.

fucking idol majima wont spawn for me anywhere. i have him at SSS and still havent seen him around town once.

>>389335276
It might be a side mission just keep playing.

>>389335276
It's a random encounter. Just keep praying you get to fight one.

just get the PAL release and a recent build of PCSX2

It's by far the strongest style when fully upgraded. Tiger drop makes every fight pretty damn easy.

In Kiwami, How to i make majima show up at the club as Goromi? I keep getting the other girl everytime i enter. Havent had any other majima occurrences since i can get him to shiw up here.

>>389338551

God I hadn't heard the dub in a long time. Its pretty great

No he should play video games. Fuck rivers, bustling brooks are where its at.

I'm currently playing it, never played a Yakuza game before. The combat is fine but has some issues like being a bit clunky or the random reversals. And the sidequests are pretty boring.
The main story is really good though and definitely carries the game. I don't think I'll play any other game of the franchise though, I didn't really get hooked on it.
Maybe I just need to play more, I just got to Majima.

>>389339218
All of them are below 5'11

Everyone is a manlet

>>389339878
Eh 5'11 isnt manlet in my opinion. How is an inch away from 6' short? Just average honestly. That being said pretty sure the average for nips is like 5'7 or 8. thats getting pretty short..

Anyone elses Majima rank stuck at F? Cant get him to apper under the giant traffic cone or at the club. Already had the police-majima encounter.

Do I have to do anything special to settle the score with Majima?
I have everything max but the last, and I haven't gotten a call.
