>>320617876
He's hanging out in a bar, but I totally forgot what it was called

You're at the same part as me. He tells you he's waiting at the First Shot bar, south of the city.

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 part of it?
Because fans are batshit insane everywhere not just Japan.

The dance battles are fun but yeah I'd be fine if they dropped this stuff in future games
>>320627346

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

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.

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.

>>320623231

>Coach sits on the other side of the map in a bar

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

>>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.

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.

>>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.

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

>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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

>>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

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

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.

Majima has to be in my top 5 favorite video game characters. The dude just oozes charisma while having a sense of honor while always remaining unpredictable. I'm stoked to play him in 0.
I hope we get some backstory on why he acts and does the things he acts and does. His personality seems to be one based on special experiences.
>Yakuza 6
>Kiryu is on the run
>Have to help him as Haruka>They kiss at the end>After credits scene shows their kid
So is everyone in the Tojo clan except Kiryu, Majima, Saejima, and Daigo just a bunch of backstabbing assholes? And Daigo is questionable.
>>320652901
I love how fucking unchained Zero Kiryu is. Majima is always great and I can't believe it took this long for him to be playable.
>>320653428
But Majima is playable inDead Souls

>>320649345
There is a possibility of 6 coming to PCnot much of one but still, doubt 3-5 will come to PC because the combination of niche game + being built for PS3s weird architecture means it will probably be a gigantic loss for whoever does it, even though it's already been localized.

>>320653171
The fact that the final bosssurvived instead of just getting killed off like every other final boss was interesting. He was sort of lame but the yakuza revolution nonsense he was spouting wasn't completely unsalvageable, I hope he shows up again in the future in some capacity.
>>320653634
>>320653331
They don't have to go all Usagi Drop or whatever but I want more of Kiryu & Haruka together in general, shit's cute.
Lads, I got a confession. I've never played Y1&2 because reasons. I really want to though so I'll be be emulating them sooner or later. How clunky is Y1; keep in mind I loved godhand after playing it recently.
>>320654001
Who the fuck cares, man. It was pretty obvious.
>>320653997
>>320654051
What's wrong? It's meant to happen sooner or later. Haruka only loves Kiryu and Kiryu pushes every woman away except for Haruka.Embrace it.
Yakuza 10 will be called Yakuza X and will end with Kazuma's funeral. After that you play as Haruka who became the owner of the new Serena but has to get involved in Yakuza business every year because of reasons.
>>320654051
Kiryu's the pure one
Haruka was probably already raping him in his sleep before 5, she's beyond obsessed with her oji-san
Do I have to do all of the main hunt missions, or can I just go to town and move on with the game?
>>320616719
I've always been interested in Yakuza games, but I've had a PC for the last 5 or so years and haven't looked back. I heard the older ones are pretty dated, will 5 be a good place to start when I eventually get my hands on it? Or should I emulate the previous ones and grit my teeth until I hit 4 or something when emulation is obviously no longer possible? Or should I just hold off until 5 comes out on PC or something?
>>320654223
I think Kazuma fucked Yumi at the least m8
>>320654276
5 is a terrible place to start. Start at 4 if you absolutely can't play 1,2, or 3.
>>320654276
1 and 2 are PS2 only. 3, 4, 5 PS3 only. So you can only emulate the first 2.
They're not even that bad that you need to grit down your teeth and force yourself through them and you won't understand that much what's going on in 5 if you skip all of them.
Also, it will never come out on PC. Later games might, but even that is just a maybe.
>>320654001
Who?
>>320654153
Kiryu will just come back as a ghost in that scenario
The only definitive end to Kiryu's story is for him to get so pissed off at Daigo's incompetence that he just decides to destroy the Tojo himself
I'm trying to woo Riku, but her attraction level remains at C no matter what I do. What am I doing wrong?
>>320654276
>I heard the older ones are pretty dated
Only first one is not as fluid as others and not THAT dated.
Go emulate first two of them and wait for PS3 emulator to play 3, 4, 5. Or get CFW PS3 and play 3-5 and Kenzan with fan translation (that isn't out yet). Or get PS4 and play prequel Zero.
I hope none of you have children.
>>320654050
>2nd one isn't announced yet, but it'll probably will.
I hope so. I think 2 has the best story of the whole series. If it had current-gen grafix and gameplay mechanics, it's be my GOTY.

Is there any supernatural elements in the Yakuza series at all? Like a substory that makes you question ghosts or something? I've always liked when super serious "realistic" games hint at the possibility of something like that.
>Kasugi's character development
>that entire scene in the docks
>baseball is fun
Holy fuck this is way good.
And people were whining about Tatsuo's chapter.
>>320656430
There's several substories where you're doing tasks for dead people and ghosts.
>>320656430
Saejima has one about a kappa somewhere in 4 I think
>>320656040
>you'll never go to karaoke or play ping pong with Anri Okita

Haha
>>320656538
Pretty sure Kiryu had one in 3 as well.
>>3206564305 has a master who gets possessed by multiple gods, starts flying and shoots fireballs.
Then there are also the Amon fights. Where they're multiplying and launching flying swords at you.
>>320656430

>And people were whining about Tatsuo's chapter.
Shinada and his chapter are just really weird. Overall I like it but
1. Shinada's moveset lacks that oomph the other characters in the game have, it's a lot less brutal
2. His story is only really tangentially related to everything, felt like it should've been a substory for someone more connected to the plot of something
3. The biggest "weird" thing about Shinada's chapter was that the characters were all pretty grounded and more normal compared to the badass fighting gods that are just lying around all over the place elsewhere in the game. It felt a bit out-of-place
>>320656528
I just want to be her friend.
And occasionally fuck her.

You never noticed how prevalent the whole "naive cute girl goes to the big city and becomes a huge whore" trope is in Japan?
I remember hearing a time back that there are entire task forces dedicated to breaking these schemes, especially because they usually begin talking to these girls when they're underage, and then they pay for the travel expenses, and start fucking them senselesly in front of cameras when they reach Tokyo.
Any chance of a PC port? For, like, any Yakuza game?

>>320658031
A little trivia, one popular theory on 2ch is that Hitomi Tanaka was forced to have breast surgery by Yakuza, and that's why she went from "attractive big breasts" to "inhuman purple titty monster"
>>320657884
For older games? No
For newer games? Maybe, but really doubtful.
The series is already struggling in the west. Sony had to talk with them to bring over Y5 and Y0 over to the west. So, I don't think they even care about PC.

He feels so bland now.
Shinada would feel better to play as if his throws had more impact.
Playing street-thug-bowling with his meteor tackle throw is pretty fun, though
>>320660254
That's not a common opinion at all, a lot of people find Saejima's moveset too simple and boringThe Zero movesets make everyone in 5 feel like shit to me

I just finished yakuza 1 and I have a question. Is kiryu fucking retarded? Yumi go shot in the stomach once. All the nigga had to do was stop the bleeding and take her to emoto's clinic that was like 4 blocks away, but he just stood there like a retard while she bled out. Also fuma's death was fucking retarded "yeah lemme just walk away from this guy who has a grenade next to him, I'm sure nothing bad will happen". I hope he gets better in the next games

As you just found out, whenever a gun is brought out in the Yakuza games everyone in the cutscene forgets how to use their brains. Get used to it.
>>320662084
They couldn't get his actor for 5. So he's not in this game.
>>320662020
>I hope he gets better in the next games
I don't know how to say this butHe'll be more even more retardedHe's fine on Yakuza 2 trought
>>320661742
>mfw the autist then says "A lot of things don't seem as important anymore"
Fucking hell, that hit wayyy too close to home and my own past experiences.
>>320662275
Out of curiosity, how is Zero in that regard?
I'm really hyped for it coming West.
Huge baseball faggot here. I watch MLB, MiLB, KBO and NPB. I don't know anything about the Yakuza series, what baseball related stuff can I do in it?
Is it just me or did the writing get a lot worse after 2?
1 and 2 were amazing, but everything after was either bloated or uninteresting.
>>320636595
High level yakuza use full suits with ties buttoned up. A full tatoo would include the arms
>>320662368
One of the characters in 5 is a washed up baseball player. He can do baseball related activities. And fuck dudes up hardcore with a bat.
>>320662084
They mention him in Dead Souls, a bit, but I think that's it. His actor was probably busy
>>320662020
I don't know how to say this other than he really doesn't
>>320662410
Writing was done in-house after 2.
>>320662410
>Is it just me or did the writing get a lot worse after 2?
First time in these threads I take it?
>>320662020
Everyone acts dumb in Yakuza when guns get involved
4 pretty much gets to the level of self-parody about this by the end of it
>>320662507
Yup
>>320661151
Give him a Stamina XX and he'll give you some shit in return later on.
Is there any part in the main story where all 4 characters get together and I can switch between them or do I have to wait until premium adventure to do that?
>>320650581
>>320650654
COME TAKE MAI HAAAAAAART
>>320662356
I don't know much, but i would assume it would be less-retarded than Kiryu Yakuza 1 or 3
>>320662410
The main writer left after Yakuza 2 to become a full-time writer of Detective fiction or someshit similar
>>320662587
Writers changed after Y2. That's why Kaoru got shafted because new writers didn't know what to do with her. And the reason why the story was kinda meh in 3, but it gets a bit better with each game.
>that cursed printcircle substory in akiyama's chapter
Fuck am I supposed to do, bring a hostess to the booth? I've been doing dumb poses for a while now but nothing's happening. I already talked to the girls in the arcade.
>>320663093
Use the one closer to the corner
>>320663164
Shit, I didn't even think of that. Thanks, anon.
>>320663093
>chasing after ghost
>cut across traffic cones to get him when he turns
>"guess I lost sight of him"
Don't be like me, always stay on the path during chases.
how do I access the Victory Road? I beat the guy on the Ose Bridge
>>320664323Beat all 8 gym leaders and receive the badge for their respective gyms
>>320662368
There's a batting center in every game, and 5 has a baseball player as a playable character
>>320662537
What happens in 4?
Man, that Lady Gaga mission really reminds you that the game originally came out in 2012.
>>320664691
>Main villain is cuffed
>Main villain still has gun
>Main villainshoots Akiyama
>NO ONE TAKES GUN FROM HIM
>Akiyama is saved by his money in his pocket
>Main villain then proceeds to spoiler] kill himself because NO ONE TOOK THE FUCKING GUN
And then there's the wholeRUBBER BULLETSthing that they pulltwice
>>320665206
Wait, twice? I only remember the one
I messed up fishing for the first part of Shinada's training and now I need more bait. Where do you buy it as Shinada?
>>320665895
Well there's the thing withSaejima, and then it happens withAraiwhen heshoots at Munakata
Wasn't the chairman of the Omi alliance some bald guy in Yakuza Dead Souls? Now in Y5 he's some old guy.
>>320666182
Dead Souls is not canon
Why do Japs like baseball so much?
Why can't Kazuma have a peaceful life?
and a line in the cutscene with the cop makes it sound like Kazuma's gf is a cop.
If Kiryu was the 4th chairman and Daigo is the 6th chariman.
Who was #5?
Has anyone done Kiryu's Best Seasoning sub? What am I supposed to do?
>>320667641
terada, the guy who looked like a pug dog
>>320667641
Haruka
>>320661536
Tiger Drop.
>>320667758
who?
>>320665921
The store in front of the park. All you need is food for bait.
>>320667931
the big omi guy who wore the robe and got shot in the graveyard
>>320666901
>Why do Japs like baseball so much?
They don't. Even in Shinada's part they say that it's a dying sport and only fans go now a days.
>>320667987
was that in 2?
>5,000 swings
>1,000 pushups
>1,000 sit-ups
>EVERYDAY
I love Shinada
>reach level 20 with Kiryu
>still haven't unlocked all my abilities
this triggers the OCD
is there a way for me to get more Soul Points?
>>320668070
yeah
>>320668070
yes
>>320668272
>>320668306
oh
ever played 2. Just 3, 4, Dead Souls, and playing 5
>>320668113
japan's misconception of bodybuilding and firearms triggers me
>I did 100 pushups everyday and now im JACKED AS FUARK
Please tell me Akiyama's chapter has sky finance shenanigans like in 4.
>>320669106
nope
most of the sky finance stuff is side story related and they didn't go into as much detail as they did in 4 with all the goofy shenanigans
akiyama shares a chapter with haruka and it's mostly about her. akiyama just shows up to beat people up and solve some mysteries
>>320668154
Yes, in the final chapter you can face off against a trainer that can push your level to 25.
>>320669702
alright, thanks friend
>>320669870
Fair bit of warning, it's brutally hard if you don't know how to abuse your counter moves.
case in point; >>320661536
>>320669106
Akiyama's part in 5 is mostly just Haruka-support.
He also doesn't have his own side story
Where the fuck can i save in the snow village?
>>320670256
in your hut in the back corner
>>320669998
the counter moves (like the Komaki Tiger Drop) has a bitch of a timing window
Is it just me or pulling off quicksteps during chase battles's really hard this time around? I've only managed to do it once.
>>320670830
it's insane. feels like you need to hit it in the 1-2 frames that their hit connects to you.
only just now managed it with Kiryu. please dont tell me the other guys can get their levels up too.
>>320671435
it's alright with Saejima because with Herculean Spirit he is insanely broken
>>320671435
no idea, I am still on Kiryu's story
>>320656040
I don't think it's out yet.
Is Kiryu a virgin?
>that mid cutscene QTE
FUCK
GODDAMIT
SHIT
>>320672923
Yes
>>320672923
Looks like someone never maxed out a hostess girl's heart meter.
>>320673742
Looks like someone underestimates kiryu's purity
>>320616719
I'm almost done with the story. Now I'm just running around trying to complete the gourmet report missions that I neglected. I also have two more substories to finish.
>>320671241
You mean tackles?
whats the price on psn? i cant find a torrent
Just beat the game. 11/10 best game ever. Final section was pretty fucking awesome, all those fights one after the other, dat final boss battle with kiryu, holy fucking shit, the way that one played out was well worth waiting 3 years to get that. Best game in the series by a large margin.
>can't creat clear save data from premium adventure mode
What the hell were they thinking? Not to mention that apparently a few substories are missable so you have to go to premium new game to 100%. Not that I'm complaining about going to New Game+ because I would do that anyway just for EX Hard mode but fucking hell I just wanted to play a bit in premium adventure mode before playing the whole game again. That's the biggest complaint I have about this game. Other than that it's a true 11/10 game.
>playing new game+ on ex hard
>captcha is fucking taxis
hhehehe
>>320676136
$40. Buy the game, faggot.
>>320676165
Shinada is a pretty cool guy. Really liked him.
Also, I didn't think anyone would top Nakajima in this game but pic related was so well written, really liked his character.
>>320676215
guess i will then
faggot
>go fishing
>get two treasure chests in a row
Well alright then. I really just wanted some fish
>>320677116
Swiss watch?
>>320675517
No, quicksteps -- that thing you do in order to make a sharp turn without losing speed.
>>320677310
Not him but you can press square and time it right so that you do that tackle one after the other, it makes those chase really easy though I haven't tried that against saigo.
