You know the drill.
I'm pretty tired of those fucking Fallout 4 Threads, let's talk about good games for a change.
first for bob utsunomiya
>>315379973
Muh nigga
I want to do things with Haruka.
>>315380132
I wish EA or Activision had a guy like him.
>Okay, let's make a brawler... but in a open city where every now and then some punks want to kick your ass!
>And the story will be about honor, cool guys and with a cute girls to boot!
>Also booze, random jokes and kick-ass music, because if Sega can do anythnig right, it's fucking music, man.
>>315379919
that's not a ladder..
>>315380454
>mfw Kiryu, Majima, Phoenix and Maya teamup in the recent PxZ2 trailer
>>315380294
>the scene with saejima and haruka in 4
Do you guys think this game will come out this month? Can't fucking wait anymore.
>>315380631
I'd say this was way more tense than any horror game from recent years.
Developers really nailed uneasyness
>>315380668
i can't even get my hands on it before my friend finishes it and let's me have his ps3
>>315380631
>>315380294
>I want to do things with Haruka.
What things, anon?
When is release date?
>>315379919
>Want to play Yakuza 3 and 4
>Don't own a PS3 anymore
Also is Yakuza 5 still being localized or is that still just a dream?
>>315380514
why does every fuck who loses an eye get a leather black eye patch? why cant some mother fuckers be hardcore and leave their eye exposed or have a false eye or have a healed eye hole so its like a cave in the face
>>315380897
No, it's not a dream. Not anymore, at least.
>>315380929
>Cause that can cause all sorts of infections.
>>315380897
Yeah, Y5 should be coming out soonmaybe. It can be pre-ordered on PSN and the localization team livestreamed the translated game in freeroam mode a while ago.
>>315380929
I imagine having a hole in your face isn't that beneficial for someone who gets in street fights all the time
or in general really
ISHIN TRANSLATION WHEN
HNGGGGGHH
>>315380132
>>315380427
Now that's what I call midlife crisis.
>>315381206
He's great. Fucks models, bros with the Yakuza and makes sweet games. My midlife crisis will be just a tupé probably.
>>315381206
Aside from literally turning into a dried tomato he seems to be doing alright for himself. He somehow survived Sega's constant staff reshufflings over the past few years.
>>315381010
>>315381049
Is Y5 only comming to the PS3 or can we expect it on 4 too?Hope
>>315381451
PS3 only, but you can probably use PSNow to play it on PS4.
>>315381451
PS3 digital only, they're not going to make a PS4 port just for the western audience
hell Sega had to be bribed just to bring this game over at all
>>315381451
Only PS3.
>>315379919
fuck, Kiryu looks terrible from Y3. They should have stuck with his looks from Y1.
>>315381732
Kiryu from Yakuza 5, Ishin and 0 is alright.
Kiwami Kiryu looks pretty strange, though.
This franchise has the best install screens. What's your favorite?Dead souls install got me pretty hype
>>315381883
You just can't top this. It's perfection.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrkG-ew3QUg
>>315381938
5's install is impossibly good. That's probably my favorite Yakuza song, too.
When is the next twitch stream? I suppose we're getting the announcement of the release date by then.
You know Y5 is going to sell like shit and will be the last localized Yakuza game right?
>>315382643
It can't be helped man. Im just glad its getting a another chance in the west.
>>315382643
Yeah, but atleast we're still getting 5. It's the biggest Yakuza game so far, really glad.
What about just cause 3?
>>315381938
>that perfect music build up on first loop introducing the cast
>that moment when the second guitar kicks in and that zoom in to Kiryu's Taxi while the second loop starts with the main theme playing
Too perfect. They better keep the install screen when Y5 comes over in digital.
>>315383351
It's a shame but I don't see how an installation would be necessary since it's a digital only release.
>still no preorder in EU
i dont wanna miss that discount
>>315383601
Apparantly EU gets the discount during the first week of release or something
>>315383418
I recall the digital release of Y4 and DS had install screen but my memory is muddy.
Is Ishin worth importing? I know there is no chance in hell of it ever getting localized.
Where would you guys rank it in comparison to all the other games?
>tfw when picked up a steelbook edition of Y4 for 12 at FUCKING GAMESTOP
>comes with manual in pristine condition and the costume/mission DLC code
>can't get it pass 10% installation
>disks is scratched up to hell
I sure gamestop employees are fucking with me.
>>315380427
yeah
galo sengen.
>>315384008
If it's anything like Kenzan it should be pretty fun. Just keep in mind Yakuza is a series intended for adults so the kanji level is pretty brutal.
>>315384239
I never played Kenzan unfortunately.
I did see a site that had a very intricate english guide with all the sidequests and everything, so I'm tempted of giving it a try.
>>315384351
not that anon. There multiple throw backs to the original franchise with the music remixes. Just download the demo if you want a hands on with the combat system.
>>315380742
>>315384509
I've played the Japanese demo and thought the combat was really fun.
The guide I'm looking through right now seems to explain a lot of what's going on in the story and it looks like it has a good amount of side content.
I think I'm just going to import.
What do you guys think our chances are that zero gets localized? Should I just import that one too?
Living in Japan, torn between getting PS3 or PS4.
PS3 has Ryuu ga Gotoku Kenzan and a shitter version of Ishin. PS4 has the better version of Ishin. Not interested in the ones set in modern times.
What to do?
>>315385000
Ishin is better than Kenzan from what I've heard.
Kenzan was a fun experiment with new hardware (PS3).
>>315385000
Well if you get a ps3, you're getting to play two games instead of one and it's cheaper.
Of course there is a chance that the ps4 may get another game in the future that ps3 wont get.
I would still go with the ps3 for now. Ps4 really doesn't look like it will be worth owning until late 2016 or early 2017.
>>315385546
Yeah, I'm kinda thinking the same. PS3 will even get Persona 5 and Star Ocean 5, at least here in Japan.
On the other hand playing the worse version of something is kinda eh.
>>315380132
That guy is incredibly ugly.
>>315384892
It Zero does get localize i can't imagine it would be soon. If you know abit of moon and have to cash go for it, the story is pretty straightforward this time.
>you will never have a Yakuza HD Collection in English
It could get so many people into the series.
>>315387304
with the marketing they're giving?nah, that shit wouldn't fly.
>>315387183
Yeah, I may have to do that. It took them way too long just to release 5.
With the way things are going I may even have to end up importing 6.
Being a Yakuza fan is suffering.
>>315387397
Especially if you don't know Japanese and have to use some guide to play. That can't be very enjoyable way to play.
>>315387104
This ugly son of a bitch is fucking beautiful women doing nothing, and basically you're fucking retarded.
Click here to find out how.
>>315387646
The funny thing is that there are 2 JAV girls in that picture.
>>315387478
There's an anon that was working on encoding Kenzan and he pops up every now and then. But again, you'll need cfw on a PS3.
>>315387397
It all depends on if 5 sells more or less. That or begging again in 3 years.
>Yeah, I may have to do that. It took them way too long just to release 5.
Sega booted out tons of localisation staff and went on to focus well profiting games in the west (Sonic, Total War, Alien, Football Manager) and that's that. Then Sony footed the bill for it to come out.
>>315387478
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to how much I'm going to have to rely on these guides to do everything. Getting 100% may end up being too tedious and time consuming this time.
But eh, what can I do? It's either that or giving up on the series, which I obviously don't want to do.
>>315387741
Enlighten me anon, which 2 does JAV?
>>315387910
>But eh, what can I do?
L E A R N
the magical language commonly known as
J A P A N E S E
>>315387931
Not him, but I think the one in the white dress is one of them.
I hear they got even more JAV stars for zero.
>>315387384
Honestly, I would thinkand hopethat the news from gaming sites alone would expose the series to a lot of new people. Not to mention it'd be less daunting for them being able to start at 1 as opposed to seeing 4 or 5 which have been more recently been in the news, localization-wise..
>>315387931
Rio (Tina Yuzuki, the one in a white dress) and Erena Aihara (the one in the blue dress).
>>315379919
So let's not talk about Yakuza?
>>315388058
I'll probably never live in Japan and I don't watch that much anime. Doesn't really seem worth it just to play some games that I like.
Especially since so many games that I want end up getting localized anyway.
>>315387910
Yakuza 5 has platinum requiring you 100% it. There's tons of shit that requires guides to know what to do including fishing that's missable.
So it's guide gaming either way.
>>315388058
Someone needs to do the "Do it for him" card with Kiryu pictures like the ones we have for the waifu threads.
>>315388210
After you learn Japanese you'll get interested in the games that didn't get localized.
>>315388112
Ai Uehara didn't make it in 0. For shame.
>>315388153
Looks like i know what i'll be doing tonight.
>>315381994
too bad digital only means no install screen for us
>>315383872
no they didnt
>>315379919
Colour me surprised, almost 80 post and still no JAV.
>>315380718
Having a character that's daughter-like to the player in the cast and then putting them in some sorta danger is pretty much the easiest way possible to pull at a player's heartstrings.
So what are some of your favorite Yakuza songs? A couple of mine:

SEGA announced KIWAMI translation!Korean
>>315389613
OH BOY
NOW I DON'T HAVE TO LEARN JAPANESE!
>>315389450
And they're probably going to pull a Usagi drop ending with Yakuza 6.

Hi guys.
I've contacted KHHSubs and Captain agreed to send me text files with his translation. Now I won't have to re-type everything like a retard.
I want to kill myself.
Every time I fix one problem - another appears.I'm not going to give up, though.

>>315390132
Don't give up, anon! So many Yakuza fans will be happy to finally play Kenzan.
>>315390132
You're that Kenzan anon! Good to hear the progress.
You can do it anon. Do itfor the Dream

>final boss themesReceive You doesn't play during the final boss of 0. I figured I should vary it up a little bit, since I realized that all of my favorite songs were the final boss themes.

Good taste though. I've listened to Fly so much that it's ingrained in my head.
>>315389450
True but at least it something someone in real life might worry about rather than zombies or my evil self from another dimension.
Even if it has 0 chance of happening
I want the next Sony Experience to announce Kiwami or 6 localization

>These are some of the few threads I still enjoy on /v/.

If undertale and five nights at freddies threads can reach hundreds of posts with the same 60 autists posting in them; then I don't see why yakuza can't.
>>315391641
Maybe we should try and create one?
>>315391776
I'd be for it. I'd try to bump it whenever possible.

As wonderful as it may sound, i doubt it will last long. Do it when Yakuza 5 comes over or something because there will not be enough discussions.
>>315391641
Probably because it's not a meme game.
That and there's really no interest in the west for these games.
But yeah, fuckin' go for it. With Yakuza 5 about to be released, Yakuza 6 announced, and a fan translation of Kenzen going on, I imagine we'll have plenty to talk about.

>it's true
I-it'll come to day where we'll be able to play Yakuza the same year as Asians. Right?
>>315392159
Yeah, that seems like a good idea. I hope I still remember to make one by then. If not I'm sure someone else will... right?
>>315382643
I would've bought it on PC in a heartbeat. Unfortunately my PS3 is hacked and I won't bother to drop 60quids on a last-gen console game.
What a shame, I genuinely believe Yakuza is one of the best and most unique things to come out of Japan's game industry since Shenmue.
It really doesn't get the spotlight it deserves, and I largely blame that on SEGAs incompetence as a company.
>>315392346
Having daily threads after Yakuza 5 launch could be helpful for getting people into the franchise. If the threads gets large enough and gets shit on by shitposters then it might be time to migrate to /vg/.
>>315392553
Yeah, that's mostly the same problem for me too. My PS3 is pretty old, and even if I had enough memory on the thing to download the game, I don't think I would in the first place since I'd have to drag out the console. A real shame.
>>315392553

>>315392553
>PS3 hacked
How?
>>315392553
>I genuinely believe Yakuza is one of the best and most unique things to come out of Japan's game industry since Shenmue.
So I've always wondered, how many other Yakuza fans are also Shenmue fans in these threads?
Been a Shenmue fan ever since playing the first game back during the good old days.
>>315392746
I don't like Shenmue.
>>315380668
>idol rhythm shit
It was bad in 3 and the fixation on hostesses/sluts is just stupid. I'd rather more Granny White/ Komaki training sessions or scenarios
>>315380132
Career:
Toshihiro Nagoshi graduated with a degree in movie production[3] and joined Sega shortly thereafter, working for the second arcade department (AM2) at Sega under Yu Suzuki as a CG designer.[4] His first title was Virtua Racing as a chief designer, and afterwards he would create his own racing game, Daytona USA, where he was producer, director and chief designer. Then, he would create more arcade racing games with Scud Race in 1996 and Daytona USA 2 in 1998.[5] By 1998, Nagoshi had his own arcade department, where he worked on SpikeOut.
>>315391630
I agree, but here's an honorable mention
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB6j9J5zexE
>>315392746
Shenmue fan here. I really like Yakuza, hell, I even learnt japanese to play every game in the series, but I still prefer Shenmue.
>>315391470
Good luck, anon.
Have a Haruka.
>>315393064
Amusement Vision[edit]
In 2000, Sega separated its in-house R&D departments from the main company and established them on 9 semi-autonomous subsidiaries, with each subsidiary getting an elected president as a studio head. Toshihirio Nagoshi became head of Amusement Vision, where he further contributed to Sega's arcade line-up with Planet Harriers, SpikeOut sequels and spin-offs. For the Dreamcast he remade his very first game, Daytona USA, on the Dreamcast, as Daytona USA 2001. As Sega became a third-party, he moved out of arcade development. Amusement Vision became most known for its for work on the Nintendo GameCube, with the first two Super Monkey Ball titles in 2001 and 2002, and F-Zero GX in 2003, which Nagoshi made in conjunction with Shigeru Miyamoto. During the time of development of F-Zero GX, Nagoshi wrote a regular column in Edge, which was entitled "AV Out" in reference to both Amusement Vision's initials, which was the name of his development division, and the consumer electronics term "A/V".
>>315392598
>shit on by shitposters
T...they wouldn't right? It seems like these are some of the few good threads we have left on /v/.
Fatal Frame 5 attracted a ton of shitposters after the whole censorship thing and it looks like Yoko Taro threads are next in line for the shitpost army, now that platinum is working on it and it's a ps4 game.
Pretty sad how bad this board has gotten.

only speaking for gameplay. just not a huge fan of playing giant dudes that stomp shit like that. If we're talking characters thenAkiyama>Saejima>Kiryu>>>>>>>>>Tanimura
>>315393137
Management[edit]
In 2003, major changes took place at Sega, consolidating much of their studios, and Nagoshi was appointed to the group of the company's officers.[6] In 2005, he was in charge of the New Entertainment Division at Sega, which housed both his prior team, with the addition of staff that worked on Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon Orta and GunValkyrie, that already produced the Ollie King arcade release at Amusement Vision. It was then when Nagoshi launched his Yakuza franchise, with the first title costing 21 million dollars to produce, and the first PlayStation 3 entry, Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! being even more expensive, with Nagoshi stating that it his biggest production since he started working on consumer games.[7] By 2009, New Entertainment diminished, and Nagoshi became the R&D Creative Officer of Sega of Japan's Consumer Division.[8] In February 2012 it was announced that Toshihiro Nagoshi would be promoted to the role of Chief Creative Officer at Sega of Japan, as well as being appointed to the company's board of directors. He took up these positions starting April 1, 2012.[9][10]

>Phoenix hanging out with Majima
I need to see this
I've never played Yakuza
Where do I begin? I have a PC and PS3
I really hope everyone in this thread buys this game.
what's the best OST from yakuza?
>>315393213
Emulate 1 & 2 on PCSX2, play 3, 4 and 5 on PS3.
>>315393156
I could never get comfortable with Tanimura's fighting style. I know a lot of people like him, but it just wasn't that fun playing as him for me.
>>315393213
If you want to taste gameplay first - 4. If you want to play like a real human being - emulate Y1 on PC.
>>315393213
There are 2 starting points.
If you want to see a steady quality progression, then emulate 1 and 2, then play 3 and 4.
If you want to play already good Yakuza game, start with 4.
>>315393213
you can do what >>315393283 says or buy 4 and watch the recaps of the previous games and then finish 4 and buy 5.
>>315393156
Pretty much on point, son. Tanimura is fun as fuck to play as. You forget a few, though.Akiyama > 0 Kiryu > 0 Majima > Tanimura > Kiryu > Shinada > Saejima
>>315385620
I was one of those people that bought PS2 ports of PS3 games well into like 2008 or 2009 and trust me, you're better off just buying the new console if that's what interests you.
>>315393156
Tanimura as a character is nice, too. Just not as charming.
>>315393154
I don't know man. We're not talking about giants like MGSV or stuff that will attract SJW but shit still can happen. I was in a EDF thread trying to start a discussion but one anon just sperged out and entire thread went off track. I hope we'll be safe aside from a few snide comments.
>>315391091
I'd pay good money. I hate buying digital games and I still preordered 5 the second I saw it go up.
>>315393227

I hope we're able to have some good Shenmue threads when 3 comes out. But with 3 being a kickstarter game and all, I still have a lot of doubts that they'll be able to pull it off, especially when you consider how expensive Shenmue 1 was.
Why the fuck couldn't Sony fund it instead of funding more David Cage shit?

>>315393570
Yeah, he's not bad but the problem is he's an A- player and everyone he's competing with is S+.
>>315393156
Pretty much spot on. I hope they worked on Saejima movelist in 5. He's suppose to be a tank not a punching bag.
Tanimura is interesting from a narrative standpoint but hes pretty bland compared to the rest of the cast.
>>315393405
How does Shinada play?
Why does Komaki Parry feel satisfying as fuck to do in Y3 but not in Y4?
Is it the sound effect?
>>315380742

Saejima feels pretty great in 5.
>>315393845
Yeah. That was because people were responding to the autist. Yakuza has always been a Sony game and if it does come over to PC good for them. But i hope people are smart enough to not take the bait and derail the thread with console and mustard race wars.
>inb4 Yakuza 1+2 HD for the WiiU
So how hard are the Haruka chapters in 5?
I'm garbage at rhythm games and kind of worried.
>>315380668
W-WHAT?
Is this true?
Let´s make this clear are you talking about Yakuza 5, rigth?
>>315394030
He's a grappler, or at least, that's that's how I tended to play him. Like, imagine him as a mix between Saejima and Tanimura. Most of his rush attacks combo into grabs, similar to a few of Kiryu's moves (such as the leg grab), and very reminiscent of Tanimura's stuff.
>>315394481
Yes? Have you been living under a rock for the past year?
>>315394481
Yes, it's a mini iDOLM@STER game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD3EOcTG7QkBANG BANG
>>315394459
Lol, I can just imagine the threads if Yakuza ever got a pc version (not that I care if it did).
>YAKUZA COMING TO PC, THOSE 10 OF YOU THAT ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAMES BTFO!!!!!!!
>>315394460
Super easy, even the sub stories.
>>315394486
So a defensive character that plays like Clark with command grabs from KOF? Oh boy, Yakuza 5 cant come soon enough!
>>315379919
Is Yakuza story heavy or can I just start with 4 which I got from PS+?
>>315393845
Port beggers are virtually in every thread.
>>315394206
Kiryu saw it though.
The whole scene is badly written either way.
>>315393069
Sasuga Akiyama.no homo
>>315394532
Heh. More or less.
Last thing i heared was that sega MAYBE would release it on 2015 but i didn´t knew when
>>315394672
There's reminiscieneincnieice scenes to catch up.
3 & 4 have bad stories so it's whatever.
>>315394672
The games have an option to review the events of the previous ones, granted all of them combined are like 1 hour long but still
>>315394647
That's good to hear.
Didn't want to have to break out a dance pad for this.
>doing Ultimate Challenges in Y4
>that one where you have to beat 100 man as Saejima in 5 minutes
>complete it after few tries
>didn't realize you had weapons in equipment
Well, at least I had a challenge.
>>315379919
>release is this month
>PSN still says "Physical media only"
The fuck, EU PS Store?
>>315394632
no, my ears, please
>>315394672
you can start with 4, it has a long recap
>>315394670

I wouldn't necessarily say defensive, though he does have a counter that ends with him grappling the opponent, allowing you to throw or attack.
>>315394916
They said that there will be no pre-order in EU
>>315394680
>The whole scene is badly written either way.
I disagree.
>>315394643
I remember the threads when 1 and 2 HD were announced for Wii U
>i-it's shit anyway, who cares
I hate console wars.
>>315394139
Never played 3 but sound effect in 1 plays a big part in the feel of the gameplay. Tiger drops and essence of mounting felt heavier and packs a bigger punch in 1 then in 4.
I still feel like Yakuza 3 was the comfiest game of them all.
That whole Okinawa, orphanage, the beach, fishing, etc.

I'll never understand why did they bring a series to a console which fanbase will most likely never heard of it, the sales are solid proof of that
>>315384351
The only issue I had with Isshin is that it is immensely grindy. I was 75% through my second playthrough, doing everything, and I hadn't maxed a single skill tree. Only brawling and single sword were past lv 25, although I had reached 25 with sword and gun, though I hadn't finished the training yet.
>>315395067
Like that guy in "Your next favorite" said, it's a beach episode, so it is pretty comfy.
>>315395007
Literally just hamfisted haha I was in the jail lmao wow kawaii loli damn I wanna dick some puzzy rite now scene. Seriously though, it doesn't even fit Saejima's character no matter how long he spent in jail.
>>315395035
Well 1 & 2 HD on Wii U flopped hard.
>>315395067
Same, I know a lot of people hate 3, but it's actually one of my favorite ones.
>dat whole hospital sequence
>>315395067
Yet it had the worst possible story.
>>315394680
4's writing in general was weird as fuck, the reasoning for everything is always the most roundabout thing ever
Was there really no other way for Kiryu to ascertain that Saejima is a convict?
>>315395150
[TRIGGERED]
>>315395290
Atmosphere compensated it for me
>>315388210
Who gives a shit? Is playing games pleasurable to you? Do you like japanese games? Get off that shitty utilitarian mindset and do something you enjoy for once.
It's been a while since I played any of the games. Why did Saejima shoot up the restaurantwith rubber bulletsagain?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5LS2ha3S8
Work fasta, dammit!
>>315395169
Sega had some partnership with Nintendo back then.
>>315395390
He was told to, iirc.
>>315395390
To make his boss a big shot in Tojo clan but said boss ended up as a mindless homeless person who was never seen or mentioned again.
IT WAS A TRAP :-)
>>315395390
Cause it was a way to go for his clan.
>>315394672
Like the anons have said. 4 is a good point because it provides you with story recap of the first 3 games and the upcoming game,5 removed it for unknown reasons. Play 4 first if you're eager to join the discussion post launch.
>>315395542
>5 removed it for unknown reasons
Unknown STUPID reasons.
I mean - was it that hard to make a montage at least?

>>315395462
>>315395474
>>315395496
I remember someone came over with an actual real gun and finished everyone off with a headshot or something along those lines but Saejima still took the fall. Who was that?
>>315395067
>That Rikiya death scene
That twisted my stomach into knots
>>315395761
The guy who arranged everything so he would get rid of his rivals and become a second-in-command in his clan.
It was Gendo Ikari, by the way.
>>315394030
Shinada ends up sucking a little bit if you play him as a brawler, since his specialty is counter grappling, and most bosses and stronger enemies are immune to that shit.
His weapon stuff is pretty strong, but since this is not a spin-off game, using weapons ends up feeling a bit limited. He also can't use baseball bats.
>>315395181
What's the max level for the skill trees? Is it possible to just focus on your favorite one?
>>315395350
yeah same for me, it makes the whole yakuza series feel a lot more "human" if you know what i mean
>>315394947
Sounds like this is what Tanimura is suppose to play like. I hope he's got some neat heat attack.

Yakuza 3 also had one of the best final boss battles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QfNyTStEoM&index=74&list=FLyYAorudCnQ-n5lxszB_rHw
Also, has Sega decided to lower the difficulty in the later games?with exception to video related of course
>>315392698
Are you for real? PS3 has been hacked for nearly 5 years now, it's easy as fuck to install CFW.
>>315392746
I'd assume that a large number of them are, yeah. Yakuza is very similiar to Shenmue, had the same in-house SEGA production crews, and is largely considered a spiritual successor. They are still different games but anyone cam see the similarities the same way Onimusha and Resident Evil are similiar.
>>315396373
>that dynamic camera movement
Amazing, its like i'm watching Japanese MTV. Sega definitely has some talented staff working for them.

Disgusting.
Mine was more or less desperate attempt at Ryuji v2 and failed miserably being anything remarkable. Not to mention the completely worthless suicide afterwards.
Honestly, even Munakata is a better boss than Mine is.

Can someone remind me what was even the reasoning behind that? Why not let him kill them if he was framed the perpetrator anyhow? Someone later came in and wasted every single one of them anyways.
>>315397148
Because it's a hack you silly goose
>>315396736
I might have interpret as the PS3 got hacked and the poster is unwilling get a last gen console to support the franchise unless it comes to PC.
Also, is an E3 flasher still required to downgrade a PS3?
>>315396869
The fight itself was good, shut up.
I had lost my hype for this game but after rewatching some of the scenes from previous games I'm pumped once more.
dat TRUST DAT HONOR DAT MANLYNESS DEM LIFE LESSONS
Does Haruka slut it up in 5?
I mean I've seen pics of her in those whore idol costumes.
>>315397406
Literally the same 1v1 as usual, this time with a trash tier character. Even though Lau-Ka Long's weapons were bullshit he was still so much better.
>>315397526
sorry anon but she's just not your little girl anymore
and you know how it goes with idols in Japan...
>>315397439
This series is one hell of a ride.
One moment you have dramatic death scene.
Minutes later you help some dude deliver ice cream to his family. Or run away from not one, not two, but THREE transvestites.
>>315397561
He had great moves (so much so that later games reuse them all the time)m though. Fight had nice music and a pretty climactic feel to it, too.
It's the best fight in the game - without gimmics (Lau-Ka wasn't fun because of them) or bullshit sudden insta-death QTEs (like Yakuza 2 finale)
>>315397784
> run away from not one, not two, but THREE transvestites
oh fuck why did you have to remind me
>>315396869
Mine doesn't compare to Ryuji of course. I'm just making a comparison and observation that the bosses have been easier with progressive games. The AI was not as aggrasive, as an example Majima gave me problems in Yakuza 1 but in 4 he doesn't move about as much.
>>315397561
At least Mine had an awesome theme going for his fight.
>It's the best fight in the game
Doesn't say much when the game was one hot pile of shit desu.
>>315397772
I'm fine with that
>>315380668
I hope this isn't a major part of the story. I suck shit at rhythm games.
why don't more games include real life brands for beverages and food. It creates so much extra atmosphere and sucks you into the setting even more. I love reading the descriptions of all the drinks in bars and wish they did the same for food.

You're fine with your cute little Haruka having to fuck greasy fat old men, producers, cameramen, shake hands with fans with their cum-stained hands and all that shit?
Every idol has to go through that if they want to go big, you know.

This month most likely. No set date though.
You might as well play either of the two meanwhile.
