being awesome

Being a surrogate-surrogate father for Haruka.
Also, where did my baseball coach go? I caught a fish for him and I have no idea where to find him.
>>320617876
He's hanging out in a bar, but I totally forgot what it was called
>>320617876
You're at the same part as me. He tells you he's waiting at the First Shot bar, south of the city.
>>320618018
Thanks.

What other video game franchises have actual ties to criminal organizations?
Also, why hasn't the game explored the more darker parts of Yakuza life yet? For the most part we only see them in this very romanticized, honorable lifestyles. What about the really bad stuff?
>>320619696
Mafia and Sleeping Dogs.Sleeping Dogs 2 when? I don't give a fuck about that online game
>>320619778You misunderstand me senpai, Yakuza games are actually funded in some part by the real Yakuza.
>>320619917
Didn't know that. Have any sources? I've only seen the Yakuza 3 review by Yakuza.
>>320620034
A few Yakuza threads ago, some guy that said he actually worked with the Japan police force pretty much indirectly said that huge companies like SEGA are at some level funded by Yakuza. Take into account the hostesses in each game are actual women, voiced by their respective person.
I know it sounds farfetched, I'm not doing a very good job of justifying him, but he seemed to be way in the know.

What about all those yakuza you beat up over the course of the game including the substory ones? Do they count?
>>320622214

Nope.
You have no idea how good it felt to get 20.000 from the tourist photography, I can actually go to restaurants now.
Also Tatsuo is living the dream, befriending hoes with hearts of gold and helping them out.

That's not as bad as Yakuza 3's orphanage place in the story. In fact a lot of the side stories are fun.

He's basically just there to add some combat to Haruka's section
>>320625301
>I'll never understand the Japanese Idol culture.
What part of it?
Because fans are batshit insane everywhere not just Japan.
>>320625301
The dance battles are fun but yeah I'd be fine if they dropped this stuff in future games
>>320627346
>they barely even talk to each other beyond that initial bit when they first meet up
That's not even true... did you finish their chapter?
RUBBER BLANKS
>>320622214
They count, but it's a very surface level thing. I want them to deeply expand on the inner workings of the Yakuza foot soldiers, not just the upper echelon
>>320627887I unironically liked this twist
is there a download for an already set up emulator so i don't have to run the bios and all that shit, i don't even have my ps2 anymore
>>320627701
I've finished the story, they don't interact that much. Akiyama interacts more with a lot of the side characters of Haruka's story/setting than Haruka herself. Nothing particularly wrong with that.
>Shinada gets Taunt Mastery
>only has one taunt move
Well that's kind of disappointing.
I thought I was going to hate Shinada but he's bretty gud.
>>320627979
>I want them to expand on what is probably the most boring part of the Yakuza
>>320628805
I'm not saying to use it as a main plot, but some darker substories would be welcome.
>>320627537
It's not really about the retarded fans, but what they worship as Idol and what they must do to be one. I know it's a cultural thing, I just can't seem to like it.
Same thing about hostesses club. The mini-game is fun, but I don't see the appeal in paying for getting blue balled.
>>320628908
This, since we had lecherous middle-aged producers trying to rape Haruka then why the fuck not.
know nothing about yakuza
suddenly yakuza 5
>meh
>>320629158
I was the same as you until I honestly got sick of seeing the Yakuza threads on /v/. Then I checked it out, and forced myself through the first one. With every entry it's become one of my favorite series of vidya of all time.
Should I buy 4 now? I haven't played any of the others and I feel that after I do buy it it will go on sale.
>>320629793
If you really can't be bothered to play the prior 3, yes. Go ahead start with 4. Watch the recap videos obviously.
>>320629793
I recommend starting from 1, but if you can find it get it.
>>320628908
we've had stuff about human trafficking and shit in 4
in fact the only thing the games haven't touched on in that much detail is the porn side of things
I wish Tanimura made a return. I like his fighting style.
>>320630042
It wasn't very likely for him to return. He was played by a big time Nippon actor.
>Japanese store clerks make less than an equivalent of 4 quid an hour
Jesus Christ.
>>320623231
About 20 hours.
>>320630042
I find his fighting style more interesting than Saejima, one of his finishing move was a motherfucking essence of armbar.
>>320630283
Neat, didn't know that
What am I supposed to do with all of these pocket tissues
>>320630730
I just sell them at the pawn shop.

>One of Shinada's baseball training missions is to play pool
Dammit
>>320630730
Oh you know
>>320633376
You'll have to catch a marlin too.
>>320633376
Yeah, I stopped after that. Finished all of his side stories though.
>>320633376
>>320633718
Pool is easy as fuck, git gud.
>>320633376
>Coach sits on the other side of the map in a bar
>Go to the batting center and come back
Why the fuck can't he be at the batting center. I'm seriously debating if I should skip his training. I checked and saw that I still have 5 or 6 missions left to do for him.
>>320633929
I just used it as an excuse to get fucking wasted every time I had to run back.
>>320634369
I wish I had money. I have like 300 yen left, I spent all the money I had on better batting equipment.
At 73 hours and 51 minutes I finally beat the game, and now that time of suffering begins again as I wait for the release of 0 and 6.
>>320633894
Pool fucking sucks
Who would win, lads?
>>320634714
I'm in the middle of playing Yakuza 3 for the first time. I'm at the point where Kazuma is about to leave back to the mainland after Daigo got shot. Will I be able to return to Okinawa later? Also, when will I be able to take Haruka out again to get her trust shit up?
Right now it's night time in Okinawa and I'm just doing various side quests and shit.
>>320635080
As much as I hate to say it, Kiryu.
>>320635115
You can return to Okinawa freely, and build up Haruka's trust in Premium adventure.
>>320635690
Thanks, I'm playing pool right now. and I cant get the hang of how to fucking actually hit the ball. I'm using the right analog stick up and back and it's not working all the time. Is there a trick?
>AI gets the 9 ball in on the break
Fuck this cheating bullshit
>>320635848
Are you releasing it properly?
>>320635848
pull the stick back and release
>>320620857
Because the Yakuza are a legit thing and kind of hush hush in a way.
I remember, I think one of the devs or something of Yakuza actually got together with three -legit- Yakuza and talked about how close the game might parallel the actual Yakuza life.
>>320635945
>>320635981
Fuck, thank you. I guess I read the instructions wrong.
Why is she so perfect?
I like how we're progressing the story together, most anons seems to be at either Akiyama/Shinada chapter by now.
>>320636047
>Yakuza and talked about how close the game might parallel the actual Yakuza life.
So what did the yakuza say?
>>320636347
That it's pretty close but Kiryu dresses like a low-level yakuza and his tattoo is too small.
http://boingboing.net/2010/08/10/yakuza-3-review.html
Are you people jumping into 5 blind or did you play all the previous ones?
I want to get into them but not starting with the first one triggers my aspergers.
>>320636314
170 hours in and I'm only at 75.56% completion.
This game is so fucking good.
>>320636462
>Kiryu dresses like a low-level yakuza and his tattoo is too small.
So whats a finished tattoo look like, and what does a high level Yakuza dress like?
>My Ps3 controller's left analog decided to come loose as fuck while I was playing Yakuza 5
>tfw no fucking controller to play Yakuza 5 now

How was that allowed? Aren't Yakuzas like criminal and shit?
>>320636513
>jumping into 5 blind
what a grave mistake.
>>320636513
You can start by 4 and watch the reminisce of the previous games.

>I don't know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
>There was one a few years ago. A good guy.

I'll never get sick of this interview.
>>320636665
You can get together with criminals too.
Also, they're allowed to have proper office buildings and shit in plain sight.
>Playing 3
>Take girl out to Pool date
>Before date states, a creepy guy is looking at us in the smiley burger
>Date ends
>No mention of creepy guy ever again
wat, does he come back? Will I ever see that girl again?
>>320636665
>How was that allowed? Aren't Yakuzas like criminal and shit?
Yakuza is one of the biggest crime organisations in the world when it comes to having their fingers in a lot of pies. Yakuza is basically a part of Japan's ecosystem. Its roots are planted so deep in the country that simply refering to them as an crime organization is selling them very short.
>>320637090
The hostess girls were cut into just their last mission in 3.
>>320637237
So thats fucking it? Really? I'll never hear from that creepy guy or girl again. I knew it had the hostess content cut, but holy shit.
>>320618352
An English professor in Tokyo from America introduced the sport in the 19th century and people loved it.
So, if I want to go for 100% completion I have to do it in story mode, not premium adventure? What is the final moment in the story where you can still go around bumping up the completion percentage?
>>320637530
You can do 100% in adventure mode. That's kind of the point of it.
Doing 100% in story mode would be nuts, but doable I guess.
What improvements did they do as far as combat and gameplay are concerned in 5?
I tried 3, gave it a lot of time and didn't really care for it, am playing 4 now and it's pretty solid but not blowing me away.
Has anyone gotten all the heat moves in 5 yet?
>>320637530
>>320637903
The thing is, in 5 and beyond you can't make a clear save data so at least do all sidestories (I'm not even sure if you can do any haruka related content in PA + the flashback Saejima substories) which will net you the golden gun after you beat Amon family.
>>320637989
New engine made it a bit smoother.
>>320625365
Who doesn't?
How can one man be so pure as Shinada?
I just want to hug him, get him some food and buy him an happy ending from one who isn't Milky, who is a SHIT

>I feel sorry for the people who bought the American version. SEGA USA sucks.
Even a Yakuza like Shirokawa knows how shit that can be.
Tips for an EX Hard run?
Wasn't there some kind of unlimited HEAT item in previous games? That'd be handy
>>320628965
>>320638575
Actually, they are not as common as they used to be in the 80's, nowadays they are mostly "Osawari" Pub or pink saloons, pretty much the same thing only you can grope the hostess and play with her boobs or get a BJ if it's a pink saloon.
>>320638568
Why is Milky a shit?
She seems nice.
>>320638998
keep playing
>>320636047
That wasn't a sev. That was Jake Adelstein, an American that became a journalist in Japan and ended up befriending some of the nicer yakuza bosses.
>>320638975
>pretty much the same thing only you can grope the hostess and play with her boobs or get a BJ if it's a pink saloon.
Now we're talking.
>>320638974
Do all substories, beat Amon, get Golden Gun, beat the game ez.
>>320639205
that's boring, but I guess i'd resort to that if I things get too hard
>>320639354
Yakuza games get progressively easier, take into account the breakable level cap of 5 too.
On top of that, weapons in general are broken as all hell.
>>320638575
>Jake Adelstein wrote about hostess clubs in his book. It's a product of a society dealing with loneliness and a feeling of isolation
Yup. I love Japan but holey shit does that country have a problem with emotional acceptance.
It's kind of easy to see why the western world finds a lot of japanese entertainment "too silly" "too cutesy" or "too horrible.", there is a lot of pent-up emotions in it. You can just tell that they channel a lot of their feelings into it.
Japanese "don't think you're special" culture has lead to a lot of great things, but it's also made them extremely isolated to an unhealthy degree. They need to know that it's ok to be emotional in front of others.
Japan and the west could learn a lot from eachother. Over here everyone is an entitled special snowflake who thinks the world owes them something, but over there it's pretty much the other way around it seems.
>>320639085
I loved the yakuza mindset that kept him safe for so many years in his book
>he's Jewish
>therefore he must be connected to Israel
>therefore he must be connected to Mossad
>do you know what Mossad will do to us if we piss them off?
Keep in mind Jake is not only a Jew from America and not Israel, but he's nominally Jewish, meaning he's non-practicing and is only it by blood. He almost became a Buddhist monk in Japan.
>>320635080
They'll beat the shit out of each other and become friends.
TIE.
is there something you can only do in your playthrough and not in premium adventure? Or can I do all the stuff alter on in premium adventure mode?
>>320635080
Tfw no Gachitora sequel.
>>320639782
>Yup. I love Japan but holey shit does that country have a problem with emotional acceptance.
I have a feeling that we're slowly but surely getting there as well.
Or it might just be me.
Alright, guys, time to vote the shit out of this

>>320640720
>I have a feeling that we're slowly but surely getting there as well.
>Or it might just be me.
I would argue that it's the exact other way around over in western countries.
Here everyone is supposed to have a voice and get the space they deserve. We are all told that we're special and that we can do anything we want when we grow up and that shit sticks like white on rice. Over here it's not considered taboo to act in ones own best interests. People become selfish and entitled, thinking its their way or the highway.
In japan it's basically frowned upon to take your entire 10 days of vacation. Over here? People call in sick just because they want a day off all the time.
The mentality is night and day to me.
>>320639782
And maybe be taught that having pride in your job doesn't mean working yourself to death.
>>320639782
Maybe that's why we have so many weeks in the west.
So where is the second side mission in saijema's beginning ? or there only the one where you visit the dojo
>>320637450
Oh, don't worry. You'll have so many hostesses in 4 you'll be thankful they got cut from 3.
Fuck I love the combat in these games. It never gets stale or boring. In the earlier games where you were limited to Easy or Normal, it was a breeze, but on hard, I'm actually feeling challenged on some fights.
Also does anyone else try to play fights like a movie? Like taunting at appropriate times and walking in the fight scene trying to pull off punches and heat moves in a more stylish way?
>>320642849
>but on hard, I'm actually feeling challenged on some fights
...really? Because even ex-hard is a joke in these games.
>>320642927
It's less the enemies, and more the damage that they dish out. I find that I'm having to watch my health a lot closer.
I take my words back, new baseball is actually pretty fun.
>>320643173
With second life bar and food buffs I never even use healing items now. Y5 is so damn easy. Still fun though, I like how they improved weapon system. Can't wait to get Champion Ring for REAL challenge.
The fuck? Why does everyone hate on Honoka? She's pretty cute and her voice is cute too.
>I won't be able to grip my bat anymore
>>320643392
I wish that upgrading your health wasn't tied to other upgrades. If I could, I'd just not upgrade my health at all, but alas if you don't level that part up your missing out on a number of vital skills.

>>320643601
>Also Yakuza multiplayer when?
Hopefully never.
Outside of letting us play the mini games online (which they already do), I hope this series never has any sort of multiplayer.
I've played too many games now, where the core experience is ruined by building the game around coop or by focusing heavily on the multiplayer over the single player (Gta 5,Dead Space 3, Resident Evil 5).
Not every game needs some sort of coop mode or some tacked on pseudo mmo feature.
Let us single player only people at least have a few games to ourselves please.

It's a pretty simple sport and allows them to have an excuse to create a bunch of cute mascots
>>320643436
Gee, I wonder
How the fuck do I beat Amon? I've never been able to do it in any of the games besides 3 where I cheesed him with the Golden Gun and a fuckton of healing items. But how do you beat him legit? It's like he reads my inputs all the goddamn time.

Tiger Drop the shit out of him
Kaguya is cute
>>320647223
I tried the Miku PS3 game and it made my eyes bleed. So much shit going on so fast I couldn't keep up... and that was on Easy, which is what Haruka's story seems to /start/ at.
>>320625473
Nah SEGA should have got off their collective asses and announced the localization sooner instead of making excuses about how no one in the west would buy the game because it's not GTA
>>320635080
I'd love to see a OMM of this.
>>320635080
Kiryu, but he'd probably learn a cool Heat Move out of it and they'd become bros afterwards
Why are no Yakuza games on PC?
would anyone happen to have a link to the ending? power failure right when Harukawas telling the audience the person who raised her was Yakuzaand there's simply no way in fuck I'm doing that all over again
>>320649345
Quick, someone ask which game in the series they should start with. Then all of the typical shitposts will finally be posted
>>320640512
>>320648959
This. After realizing how awesome the other is, they would both shake hands and have mad respect for each other.
Halfway through Soejima's chapter. The game kind of came to a screeching halt.
Maybe this isn't a popular opinion (I wouldn't know since I don't really interact with this fanbase online), but I really dislike the multiple main character system. I love all the different gameplay styles and minigames each one has, Kiryu's chapter was great storywise, and to switch to someone else just when it was getting good was pretty bad.
Y4 was like this too, and I had the same problem with it.
Also, I hope Akiyama gets a solo game eventually. Love his character. He reminds me a lot of Spike.
>>320649872
Which game in the series should I start with? Can I skip one and two and jump straight into three? I heard that one was not as good, should I avoid it?
Also it true that this series is like a Japanese GTA?Satisfied? Is it a real Yakuza thread now?
Tatsuo's chapter feels a lot different to me but good in it's own way.
Most of the characters seem like they could actually exist in the real world.
Fucking karaoke in this game man

Well, it was an experimental phase.
Yakuza 4 implemented multiple characters.
Yakuza 5 improved said characters.
Ishin implemented multiple styles that you can change anytime.
Zero improved styles and returned multiple characters, but toned it down.
Yakuza series might be rehashing some things, but they experiment at the same time. I like it.

>Zero improved styles and returned multiple characters, but toned it down.
Yeah, I like how Zero toned it down to Kazuma and Majima with multiple fighting styles. I hope it makes for better storytelling too. 4 was a terrible clusterfuck and 5 got better, but still has way too many characters in it.
>>320650151
I do think Zero having fewer playables but with bigger movesets is the better way to go. 6 being just Kiryu, Majima + the obligatory new character would actually be absolutely fine with me.
Akiyama is cool but imo he's pretty squarely in "fun side character" tier, all they can really do with his character now is show up because of "an old client" he knew.
STUPID
>ulala
fatties everywhere got so told
>>320650991
Hana a qt tho
OLD
FUCK
>>320651075
you're right
> that ending
what the fuck, man
Kiryu can't catch a fucking break
why does every Yakuza game always end in those "he's dead" cliffhangers?
Holy fucking shit, the end of Kiryu's chapter was fucking awesomeI grabbed a pole and started swinging it, and just saw guys flying all over the screen like in a movie.
>just started Y5
>Kiryu trying to hold down a real job
>everyone is intimidated by him and thinks he's yakuza anyway
wew
Good god, will Kazuma ever get fucking laid? What happened to that cute cop from Yakuza 2? I loved her, and she simply disappeared after the introductory cutscene of Y3.
>>320651336
Are they even cliffhangers at this point?
>>320651519
married to United States Chad
>>320651519
You can make him fuck hostesses.
Also, the qt cop is now married to an american police officer and taking his big white dick every night.
>>320651336yfw it's not a cliffhanger anymore and he's really dead and we play as his twin brother in 6.
>>320632093
How do I get this jewel?
>>320651639
>>320651693
What. No fucking way. I always thought she'd return eventually and give Kazuma a happy ending of some kind.
Wew nice going
>>320651336
It was only 3 did that.
>>320651519
Kaoru does BBW porn in the US now
Kiryu manages a hostess buisiness in Zero, this was back when he was still a thug so no doubt he sampled the merchendise there
As far as older Kiryu is concerned the answer is obvious
>>320628965
Even their porn is weird, generally with a lot of groping, less penetration and messy kisses

So she's getting blacked? Dauym, source?
Corsi just gave away some NA codes for Yakuza 5 over twitter.
>>320651901
Can't wait for Haruka to make a move on Kiryu.
You know, I miss the old days of locked camera angles and single main characters.
I hope we eventually see a release of Y1/2 HD collection here.
>>320652152
I think that guy's the only one at Sony's PS division who does decent work desu.
>>320652152
I got one even though I bought the game before.
He's a nice guy!
Gave away my code to my friend.
>>320652323
>You know, I miss the old days of locked camera angles and single main characters.
Why would you want that?
>Y1/2 HD
0% chance. It's a PS3 game. We're already getting Zero on PS4 only. We have more chance of getting Kiwami localized on PS4 too. And Kiwami 2 if that'll become a thing.
>>320652238
She'll make a move on Kiryu alright.
>>320651479
I feel bad for him.
>moves to Japanese Africa
>changes his name
>covers his face
>takes job as low profile taxi driver
>everyone still immediately knows who he is
>n-no I'm not Kiryu guys believe me come on
>>320651901
Zero Kiryu and Zero Majima are too based
I hope Shenmue 3 does well enough that we can get some sort of crossover between it and Zero
