Yakuza

The series was good until 0 reared its ugly head and brought all these secondaries in who have no respect for the older games. Now it's fucking shit, just like everything else.

why is beast style so useless?
>slow as fuck
>still get knocked down just as frequently unless you're in climax mode and have almost all upgrades

>>390154136
Has been a parody of itself since at least 5, maybe 4.

>>390154425

Beast felt useless in Kiwami but was really strong when maxed out in 0 for some reason.

>>390154425
Honestly, it's a good substitute for Tiger Drop when your Heat is full.

>build heat with rush
>reach stage 3 heat, quickly switch to Beast and block attacks with L1, and trigger the heat attack where you dislocate both of your opponent's shoulder and throw them for massive damage

>>390154651
Mostly because your flame aura doesn't hit as hard and last as long as it did in 0.

We were getting 6 after 0 no matter what, they committed to that when they went back and localized 0. 0's success was the difference between them resentfully sharting out 6 like they did with 3 and them getting 6 delivered to us a year after the Japanese release, along with a quiz asking us if we wanted to buy 7, Kiwami 2, the First of the North Star spin-off and their shitty moba game.

>>390155493
Thx babe

>>390154425
It's still the best for crowd control unless you want to dart around with hit and run attacks in Rush. Beast was let down by losing the health regen it had in 0, more aggressive enemy AI in Kiwami and Dragon of Dojima actually being a thing early on instead of being an afterthought after you depended on Kiryu's main three styles for most of the game.

How do I beat Sera in Melee Battle 10? Is there even a single healing item somewhere?

>>390154425
>why is beast style so useless?

Any office area with lots of furniture is slaughter time

I'm down to Climax Battle and 100% trophies now. Any advice for either? I don't know how to play mahjong

>>390155048
>I INVENTED the tax Kiryu-chan

Got a laugh. I also wanted more Goromi

>>390156326
In 0? Dash punch him and use heat attacks on him when your gauge is full for max damage. Don't fuck around, he can easily kill you in tow or three combos.

>>390156672
Just go for sets of pairs, triples, quads and sequential numbered tiles of three. 1 dots to 3 dots, 5 to 7, that sort of thing. Have a set of those in your hand and you'll be able to call Riichi or Tsumo if you press the square button when it's your turn. Riichi means you declare you're going to win before this turn ends, if your enemy discards a tile you need you call Ron and win the game, if you draw the tile anyway it's Tsumo. Tsumo means you have a winning hand full stop. Keep pressing square to check for either.

For CP you need a Full Straight and a Riichi Ippatsu. Ippatsu is where you call Riichi and get the winning tile on your next turn, you'll get it eventually if you just keep playing and always call Riichi. A Full Straight is a winning hand where you have a complete set of numbered tiles from 1 to 9, along with a pair and a triple, or a different set of sequential tiles. It can be quite hard to get that one, just hope you get lucky. Either make it out of the big black dots tiles 1 to 9 or the tiles which have Chinese numbers for 1 to 9 on them. Also try learning the chinese characters for 1 to 9, it makes the game a lot easier. If you can't be bothered just know that 1 to three is just roman numerals turned on their side and go for those.

>>390157813
The other CP achievements are going out 10 times, which is winning ten rounds (rounds, not games), getting a mangan five times and a haneman once. A Mangan is a winning hand of four or five points, check the game's guide for hands worth a lot of points. Turn on Dora tiles as well for the possible point bonus that'll give you. These just require you to play the game and get a decent hand, not too hard on the easy table.

A Haneman is a very good winning hand, worth six or seven points. That you can get by using the Lucky Tile cheat item you got from the coin lockers. Save your game, go to the hard table and use the lucky tile, you'll either be one tile away from a win or you'll instantly be able to call Tsumo. You'll have the nad thirteen pure orphans and get a yakuman, which is an extremely good hand. Triple yakuman is basically the highest you can score in mahjong. That yakuman gets you the haneman achievement, one tick towards the going out CP, one of five mangan CP, and if you're playing on the hard table it instantly gets you the hundred thousand tags won playing mahjong CP.

And that's the basics to playing mahjong in these games. Don't ever bother going for kans, pons, kongs and the like, it'll only lower your winning score and limit your options for forming hands. Always press square and only go for riichi or tsumo. You'll get them eventually.

Is he talking about Saejima here?

>>390158939
Yes.

Okay so I've taken Yui out shopping but I don't know what to buy her. I'm at max A rank if that makes a difference.

I never did finish 4, or start 5.
I should get on that.

>>390159083
Can you take her anywhere else but Le Marche? Because food or minigames is always the better option with hostesses, those bitches will bleed you dry if you try to appease them with brand items. If you want to waste the money just buy her one of the more expensive items, she'll like it.

>>390154425
Beast style has incredible hard hitting moves against bosses like bear hug and the l1 r1 triangle move.

YAKUZA LIIIIIIIIIIIVE

I went back to Yakuza 0 , but I don't know how to get into West Park again. I'm playing as Kiryu, right at the final chapter, and the bathroom doesn't have a prompt to let me into the parkj. How do you get into it in Yakuza0?

>>390161696
It's not walled off like in previous games. The entrance is near the pool bar.

Where do you find the Mesuking card between Giraffe Stag-Beetle and Empress Cicada? Would appreciate even the name if you can't remember where you found it.

I'm guessing they were on equal footing in zero, with Kiryu being stronger by the end of 1.
He canonically beats his ass in 2, so he's stronger than him by then, at the very least.

>>390166619
He also gets the best assassin in China at his mercy begging for life, and easily kicks the shit out of Nishikiyama (who's not quite as good as Kiryu but still)

I'd say at that point in time Majima is a better fighter than Kiryu, but Kiryu surpasses him by the start of 1

>>390166619
At the very least he's more experienced then Kiryu is. Of course when 1 happens that changes.

Got the platinum for Yakuza 0 a few months back, loved the hell out of the game.

Kiwami isn't as good, but I'm still enjoying it and on track for the platinum. Only need to beat it on legend difficulty, the climax battles, and then mahjong, gambling, and weapons/equipment for the CP list

>>390164208
>>390165989
No, you need 100. I was fucking livid. Only thing I need for 100% are 100 weapons and 100 gear items. Was grinding at the Colosseum so I had enough cash to purchase 75 weapons and gear items. Did so then the next fucking tier on the checklist appeared, 100 weapons and 100 gear items. I'm so fucking fed up of this game.

>>390164208
It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't deliberately remove the same mechanic for making money at the casinos that had been there for the last fucking decade. You sell me a game that isn't as long as 0 and you make up for it adding weapons that cost 40 million yen to make me play for hours, without a way of quickly getting that cash? Thanks Nagoshi.

You can either do ten final tournaments just to afford one treasure worth half a million and sell 80 of those, play fifteen hundred hours of mahjong or shogi, grind rich bastards for 100,000 yen a pop, or just put on the Ebisu socks and rubber band your controller so Kiryu walks non stop for forty hours just to afford all this bullshit.

Question regarding it. I recently bought a PS3 as my old one died in mid-2015. It came with a crappy 3rd party controller, so I've been using my PS4 controller on it. I ordered copies of Yakuza 3 and 4 off eBay, do they work with a PS3 controller?

>>390170161
You are retarded. The combat is noticable more fluid just by the fact that you are no longer completely locked on a straight rail once you start a combo.

My copy of Yakuza 3 still hasn't shown up. I checked out Gamestop to see if they had any, but they only had a copy of Dead Souls. Oddly enough the DLC code inside had never been used. I played it a bit, it seems ok, maybe a bit stiff. It helps to think of it as more something like Resident Evil 4 than a modern shooter.

Easy Way: Go to Deborah, put on the Ebisu socks, and rubber band your controller so Kiryu walks in a circle. Leave your PS4 on overnight and come back in the morning, you'll have loads of money.

Street battle grinding: go around looking for noveau riche enemies with equipment on that boosts their appearance and the money you get form random encounters. Help every trouble victim you find, there's a low chance of thme giving you gold and platinum plates, sometimes silver ones and gold and silver bracelets.

Arena grinding: wait until the last chapters, when the last few arena prizes unlock. Do the final tournament over and over again, with Tiger Drop you can blow through it in two minutes. You'll get at least 40,000 points, 10,000 more for every perfect round you have and more depending on what crowd pleaser bonuses you get. If you're lucky they'll ask you to dodge and enemy's attack, you can get a load of those with rush quicksteps. Use those points to buy a knife which you can sell to weapons vendors for 1 million yen. I'm not sure how much the treasure items retail for, I think the dragon statue is worth 500,000 yen but I'm not sure.

Casino grinding: you can't use a zero jewel to get ten million yen straight of the bat any more. Not sure why they changed it after eight games, but there you go. You can still buy them in the traditional gambling hall however. If you win a large bet in Cho Han and bet against the dealer successfully you can earn tons of points but this can take a while. Mahjong and Shogi are similar but you have to actually be good at them to pull it off. A lot of it is down to luck, and I don't think cheating items can be obtained again outside of the ones you get from coin lockers. The weapons dealer in chapter 2 sells lopsided cigarettes but that's it.

>>390170115
Don't worry, I maxed out Majima Everywhere and finished every substory I could find with the Trouble Finder including minigames like Pocket Circuit and got 66% completion and I only had 32 hours clocked when I beat the game

>>390170276

すみません

But I love the series. I just don't have the time to spend on 4 and 5, I heard 5 was fucking massive.

I love dead souls. It's a fun game and I hope they do something like it again in the future with yakuza. A squad based 3ps in the Yakuza world, kinda like binary domain would be nice.

I just finished kiwami and will start Yakuza 2 soon. Does anyone have recommendations for PS2 controllers that aren't shit or retardedly expensive?

I played Yakuza 1 and thought it was ok but the gameplay wasn't great. Should I keep going?

So I've heard the majima everywhere in yakuza kiwami was so bad that made the game somehow worse than the original yakuza 1.
Is it just oldfags memeing or is it really that bad?

>>390173002
Isn't that bad. Just people who don't like the sudden popularity for the games.

>>390173002
It's not that bad, he goes away for parts of the story leaving you with plenty of time.

Only problem I guess is if you hold off on doing most side stuff until the very end because then he'll continually pester you, instead of doing them at chapter 6 when he's smoking in front of Purgatory.

>we've had all sorts of arcade games in the yakuza series

>>390171442
You wish GTA had all that content

>>390173590
yeah mesuking is it for the arcade, apart from the UFO catcher but that's not quite the same thing
6 has the retro games, virtua fighter 5 and puyo puyo though

>>390173002
In the original, he was just a side character that only wanted to beat the shit out of you because he thought you were stronger than he was. In Kiwami, he fights you because he wants to help you get stronger. I personally don't like the change since Kiryu and Majima didn't really become buddies until 3. Majima respected Kiryu, but he didn't necessarily like him at the time.

As someone who has never played the series, should I get Kiwami or 0 first?

>>390173002
It's not that bad. He's weak enough early on that you can handle him without problems, and then as you get stronger, Tiger Drop completely trivializes the fight. It's fun fighting him I'm, and when he gets annoying in premium adventure, there's an accessory that cuts down how often he shows up.

Kiwami is really sloppy.

It looks less polished than 0 by miles, has janky looking cutscenes and pop in and there's so much shit just copied and pasted. from 0.

I ain't complaining, he's got a sick theme.
My ex was obsessed with k-pop so it'll be nice kicking his teeth in

Did he leave that much of an impact?

>>390176072
>Did he leave that much of an impact?
The only reason I like him is because of the robes and hair.

kiryu is a beast with super human strength but i like to think majima is the better fighter. better fighting styles and Technics.

I love how both Amon and Kiryu break the 4th wall.

>kiryu keeps calling that guy fat boy in the golden pork substory in 3
kiryu's kind of a cunt in 3, huh

>>390179086
Might just be shitty localization, they still had the crappy new names in 3.

>>390179268
I'm playing 2 now and besides Kazama being called Fuma and everyone saying Kazuma, the main thing that throws me off is how they have EVERYONE speak with crude slang like "yer" and "aint", why are the respectful Jin Oda and young girls on the street talking like Shimano

>>390170991
Do they not have baccarat? Even if they didn't why not just savescum roulette? Bet on both 0 and 00 so your payout is 16000 points and you only need to reload your save for, at most, 10 minutes or so to hit one of the two. I do it in the other games as a way to get money to play Baccarat more than a handful of times.

You should also play MGS3 and watch Back to the Future 3 first.

>>390180256
Already done that and it's nowhere near enough cash to get you the gear items and weapons you need.

>>390180132
I love how smug he and Sagawa are

>>390180132
it was a metaphor
he saw the value in kiryu but knew his morals set them apart
him asking kiryu to dance was to lower himself to their level and become a immoral debauched individual capable of being a killer and true yakuza

>>390180424
Once you unlock the last coliseum round and semi-master Tiger Drop, then using the points to sell the prize items will make you more than enough. Would recommend Dragon Mail, Leech Gloves, and Collateral Damage Belt for it.

>Finish Yui substory and get a video

>>390180415
Nobody at Sega expects new fans to go back and play some PS2 games before they can play the newer games. No company does this.

Also MGS3 is completely fine as a stand alone game you idiot.

Imagine feeling superior because you played a videogame before somebody else did.

can you get the legend difficuly trophy if you play it on NG+? The only trophy guide I can find claims you can but you couldn't in 0 so I don't know

>tfw finally got the mahjong completion points
that wasn't as hard as I expected and mahjong is pretty fun. would definitely recommend to anyone who is intimidated by it

>>390180767
You can do it simpler than that if you change the difficulty to easy. Make sure you either start with full or no heat and use the Dragon style sumo slap heat action twice it will kill all enemies, During the next round when you are empty use rush style to get the full heat gauge refill from the dodge the first enemy attack passive.

>>390181256
My thoughts exactly when I played 0. Haven't touched mahjong in Kiwami yet, but can't wait to do it again

Ok, beat the game today, one thing: the last bosses fights, except the Nishiki one, were a pain in the ass. Between those hordes of goons stunlocking you and those stupid health regens, I really, REALLY, didn't enjoy that part.

>>390181256
What I never got is why the hell does mahjong have more things you need to do than the other gambling games. You don't have to win with certain hands in poker, just win a lot.

Fighting Majima in Shangri-La loses the luster when you've beaten his ass 40 times already

Man, Zero spoiled me on the yakuza villains now. using real actors for the cast was such a good idea.
now replaying kiwami to 5 (currently on 3 right now) i just think all the bad guys look way too goofy now since they arent based on any actor, as far as i know.

Only played through 0. Haven't gotten around to grinding through the real estate and the cabaret club stuff yet which I want to do before playing Kiwami.
By then it'll probably have gotten a price cut, so that's fine by me.

>>390181303
That move is unlocked by Zombie Majima? Do you need to fight him again?

Seeing them both in Heat when their in the darkness was pretty cool though.

>>390179921
Because the Purgatory casino and the hidden one don't sell gold plates any more. You can get all the casino tokens you want, only the Japanese gambling ones can be exchanged for plates.

>>390154425
Beast is good in the tight alleyways since you can charge everyone into the wall, and when there are large objects like a motorcycle. Otherwise I prefer brawl and speed styles.

>>390182368
Bravo Nagoshi.

Does anyone have a good trophy guide? The only one I can find it complete shit and inaccurate for the most part.

>>390182317
It has much less content than 0 though so it only makes sense. 0 also already went on sale like less than two months after its release.

>>390182317
you want me to tell you how I know you're poor?

>>390180564
wtf I love Yokoyama now

>>390154136
I didn't get into the series until Yakuza 4 was "free" on PS Plus. Since then I've played every main line game but Yakuza 2, and technically the original Yakuza if you don't count Kiwami. I want to play the Kenzan spinoff games, but I would like to easily understand the story without manually translating it.

>>390181671
Kenzan was where they started using the likenesses of real actors. 1, 2 and 3 had celebrity voice actors but for digital characters, 4 onwards is where they used their faces on mainline games.

He becomes one of Majima's roaming town fights after the email event. I wouldn't bother grinding money in the arena until you have all styles maxed anyways.

>>390182424
Casino trade in has weapons worth 500k in Kiwami it's not that bad.

>>390182704
Why not wait for it to drop while playing through my current backlog anyway.
Get that stick out of your ass.

>Want to replay 0 before going to 2
>Still haven't grinded past Venus for Mad Dog

I really hate this shit with a passion. The Real Estate game was at least manageable because you could do sidequests while waiting, but sitting back for three minutes just to refill some rich asshole's glass and always stomp out rivals is infuriating.

And fuck Majong. How the hell am I supposed to get a Riichi? All I do.is call out Chi and Pons while that smug cunt across the table cleans house with the wind titles I keep discarding.

Hey I played all the minigames and got no trophy. What's up with that?

>>390183213
That Yumi sure is cute though.

>>390183213
>calling chi and pon

First mistake. You never say what cards you have in poker.

>>390183386
Gotta view a show at the Asia club. Had the same problem last night.

>>390183538
I'm not following.

Isn't that the whole point of Majong?

>>390183719
No. You're not supposed to reveal your hand (I.E. Steal tiles) unless you're mainly going for a gimmick hand or you can Kan something like a dragon or your main wind. It drops your point gain and makes it a lot harder to Riichi and Ron/Tsumo.

Guys help me out I'm playing Kiwami right now, what's the best chapter to fuck around ? I'm afraid I'm "rushing it" being chapter 11, I just fought Triggerman and I'd like to know when it's best to do random stuff ? I'm rank B majima everywhere. I really don't find the dragon style fun for now, will it improve ? Beast and rush are the best/most fun imo.

>>390183918
You can actually finish all the Majima everywhere shit from chapter 10 onwards. So knock that out of the way first.

Did they write off Akiyama out of the ending of Kiwami? What the hell.

>>390183918
Dragon style is shitty for a long time but it's great once you totally max it out

The main things that will make it more fun are Dragon's Speed Reborn, attack power, Sumo Slapping, and Tiger Drop

>>390184036
>>390184313
Also how many more chapters before it's ogre ? I don't want to rush it I wanna take my time I already miss yakuza 0 so much ;_;

>>390154136
Kane and Lynch 2 is the best Yakuza game

>>390184609

Holy fuck I hate this highway railshooter sequence in Kiwami so much.

>>390154136

Just finished playing through 3 after 0, Kiwami and 2. Hyped for 4 after those slow orphanage chapters.

Hitmen hunting was cool though.

If they can make it as dense as they usually do, I'm game. Just let the driving be a minigame ala Yakuza 5.

>>390187207
Not really, the small densely packed districts are part of the series' charm, making it generic open world would remove part of what makes the series unique

>>390187207
>does this improve the yakuza series?

No

>>390187207
>does reducing the density of content improve the series
Nigger the games barely get 2-year dev cycles. You can't increase the scope and fill the game with fun things to do (to the standard the rest of the series set) on that sort of resource budget.
