Yakuza Threat

Why bother with XBone when you have a PC?

But you literally lose nothing from preordering on steam and testing yourself. The refund time/hour limit doesn't start until release.

I mainly only use the PC for RTS games or exclusives. I have the X that much more powerful than my PC too.

SUNAO NI I LOVE YOU

I recall Sega or the Yakuza devs recently saying that they are never coming to Xbone (or Switch). All I can say is, if it doesn't happen at this E3, just give up hope man.

It's just a waste of time, especially for an iffy Jap port. You're better off holding off and waiting for news.

I'm going to play Kiami 1 tonight what am I in for? never played a yakuza game.

Terrible boss fights and over-exposure to Majima.

A good game, but some glaring issues from the decision to stick with the Yakuza 1 pace/design a bit too much at times

>no denuvo
Time to pirate I guess

You'd think they'd have learned by now

>being jewed with a pre order I could just refund
Go to bed gramps

I'll give Kiwami 2 a pirate.
Looks fun.

I really liked 0 but can't get into Kiwami

Only recently got into Yakuza (with 0)
Spent over 60h in it, and another 40 in Kiwami.
Kiwami 2 looks absolutely fucking gorgeous graphics and interface-wise, so I bought it as soon as it went on sale.

>thinking 2 hours is enough to fully test a game
>not just waiting a few days until you know the game from a known shit port company works properly

A fool and his money are soon parted.

0 and Kiwami worked amazingly, but they were ps3 games in the end.
I hopes this is decent.

There have been reports that reviewers are struggling at 1080p with fucking 2080TI's to get close to 70fps. It's going to be rough.

That was at 4k

>ifffy jap port

I'd be willing to drop quality for 60 FPS.

Y0 and Kiwami also look like old ps3 games unlike Kiwami 2

Yeah retard, the only major difference is price. Performance-wise they're almost identical.

POWER OF DRAGON ENGINE

Yes, Kiwami instead looks like a late PS3 game

Yup

How do you know it has anything to do with the port being shit, rather than the fact that the new dragon engine is more intensive in graphics and physics compared to Y0 and running close to 60 fps where consoles were locked at 30? That's right, you don't

>BBUT IT'S OK WHEN SEGA/JAPAN DOES IT
It begins.

Well they're PS3 games, so..
That being said there's still no reason for K2 to be this demanding.

What is OK?
What the fuck are you even talking about?

REPEAT IT AFTER ME

SHIT PORTS ARE OKAY WHEN JAPAN DOES IT

Jesus Christ how does FotNS:LP make Kiwami 1 look like a big budget AAA game? There’s like nothing to it

Explain why modern Ass Creed games UBISHIT GAMES run better by looking better, and being set in bigger sandboxes?

No. I want PCfags to leave.

He also needs to explain modern Capcom games before he claims Japs can't into PC.

>Yakuza games reusing assets is somehow a new thing
And Kamurocho is basically completely different from 6, some areas are changed outright to be more like the original 2’s version and areas that weren’t in 6 like the Champion District and Park Boulevard are all there. Purgatory too.

>you're looking like a retard right now

Pot
Kettle

That was only an issue on release. Also, that's NOWHERE NEAR as bad as a fucking 2080ti struggling to maintain 60fps at 1080p.

It's good, but Majima Everywhere brings it down. I wish I could play without it.

Enough, you retards aren't even worth replying to anymore. Desperate

>wanting to appeal to younger crowd

I don't get it.

Even when you compare them, K2's situation is far worse.

Could’ve just used Akiyama, he’s only in his mid 30s

That still doesn't sound nearly as bad as a top of the line GPU shitting bricks at 1080p.

Has anyone removed it yet?

Akiyama just isn't solo main character material.

Seeing how the game performed with a 980Ti, I expect similar performance with my 1070.

Too bad I have a 7600k, apparently the game relies a lot on the CPU. Hopefully I'll manage to stay around 60fps at 1080p with high settings.

Origins was just a straight up lock, K2 is just abysmal.

>doesn’t want to play a GAR middle-aged man
Pathetic

I'm hoping this literally-who benchmark is off, because this is ridiculous.

>>wanting to appeal to younger crowd
that's completely wrong though

I like Ichiban, their decision just baffles me.

He's the same age as ichiban

That's the entire reason Shin exists.

I feel like he is, but not for the kind of stories that are in Yakuza games I guess. At this point I kinda prefer multiple protagonists, though. Changing protagonists and points of view keeps things interesting, even if 5 kinda shoehorned Shinada in at he last minute and sorta had no reason to be part of the finale

He's in his early 40s in 6.

just bought yakuza 0 on steam

I've never played a yakuza game before. What should I expect?

>mass replying

A game.

Is he? He’s like 32 in Yakuza 4 which is 2011 I think, and Yakuza 6 is 2016 so he’s 37 right? I guess late 30s is a better description

They've stated that the reason these characters are older is because the target audience is people in their 30's/40's in Japan.
Just because they're introducing a new protagonist doesn't mean that they're suddenly targeting a younger audience.

I have a feeling they're going to change characters with each entry from now on.

wow very descriptive thank you user

39 in ShinRGG then.

>Making more than one reply for people saying the same thing

How old is the downey-faced guy (MC) in Judgement?

Stupid answer for a stupid meme question. Just play the fucking game.

so angry for no reason

I am downloading the game and cant play it yet you fucking autistic retard

I'm glad I held off on getting this for John Wick 3 tickets.

Akiyama is already locked in as not a dragon. The series demands the main main character be a dragon and Kiryu's out.

Bruh he’s handsome as fuck. Looks like a Japanese Al Pacino

He'll be in his 40's in shin, so he's the same age as ichiban.

Only autistic retard is someone just asking for spoilers.

Get your fucking eyes checked.

asking what I should expect is the same as asking for the story to be spoiled?

you really are grasping for straws here user

Why ask after you bought the fucking game though?

That would be cool.

Because he's a fucking retard, the kind who make those shitty threads.

just something to do while I wait for the game to download

I bought it on a whim based on a small video of a chicken in a bowling alley and have literally seen nothing else of the game

cuz he's stupid
what else?

is this a thinly veiled Japanese humor shitpost

There's fighting. And a story. It's cool. Just go in blind

I don't know what that means so I'm ganna go with no

ok thank you for the only real answer I got

I will follow your advice and go in blind now

Did you not know ANY OF That before buying the fucking game?
Are you actually brain damaged or is right? I'm going with the latter.

>just bought yakuza 0 on steam

prove it

>Has anyone removed it yet?

I'll take that as a no. Shame. Not getting it until that's a thing.

Yeah have fun. Don't feel pressured to complete every substory per chapter since nothing is missable, just explore and find things.

The fact K2 is a horribly optimized trainwreck.

wouldn't be surprised

Quesyion: im playing zero and I'm at the part where eye patch dude just fought Nishki in the bar and now I have to find blind girl who was last seen at North Park where the hobos are.
I go to that area - can't enter the park and she isn't around that area where is she?

empty lot IIRC

i'll basically be hitting 60fps at 1080p which is exactly what i wanted

I'm ready to import 5 Remastered.

Not being funny, I unironically find that shit comfy as fuck.

>get told by Yea Forums you should always play in the release order
>play K1 because that's remake of the original game

I'm pretty hyped for K2 tho

drugs are bad

I'd prefer 1440p, but whatever..

If its ported badly I can just refund it, literally 0 reason not to considering refunding costs the dev more than if you never bought.

Pretty much expected considering how spotty the performance is on PS4s. Kind of strange though since K2 performed much better on both sides, you'd think this would happen more with a 6 port than anything else.

? That’s not fucking release order. Release order is playing the original 1 and so on. Kiwami has quite a few references to 0 so I’m not surprised people told you to play the latter first

This article claims it runs at 60fps on a 1060 (1080p), so I wouldn't put too much credence in the claim that a 2080Ti can't handle it.

I'll just be glad to play Saejima's sections at a stable framerate, That shit was nigh unplayable on the PS3.

It's stable 30 on Pro, so it's weird that it's such a demanding port.

>It's stable 30 on Pro, so it's weird that it's such a demanding port.
It's also 1080p on Pro.

There's more than one source for the port being shit, and they're more reliable than this LITERAL WHO

Why has it taken this long to port 5? Feels like it was never meant to just be on PS3 with how laggy it can be

Except trophies, and items, true. Can't miss substories.
Nice, that's all I need. Is "plus elevee" highest settings or high?

Yakuza spin-off with character creator when?

I've only seen the dsogaming review being linked, and that's arguably an even bigger literal who site

60-75 on ultra
They do say they got a few dips below 50, and that it could probably be averted by dropping the AA from SSAA down to SMAA

>release order
>plays Kiwami 1 first
You're special.

apparently it's coming in Japan in late June, so when 3 and 4 HD are announced for PC at E3 most likely, 5HD with come out at a later date.

I got very slight drops during fights that involved a lot of crap breaking on my Pro, but yeah, for the most part it's a stable 30.

I'm still with Yakuza 0, so not for the moment.

>frogs
>not a single benchmark

Attached: d63.jpg (600x909, 31K)

It came out way before the idea of a ps4 even came into people’s heads so it was all the devs could work with.

...

Should probably hold your horses, they haven’t even been announced to be localised on PS4 yet.

Why would they only announce 3 and 4 together and why would they announce them on PC first?

Digital Foundry video when?

It came out a few months before the console was announced, wouldn’t be surprised if they were working on Ishins PS4 version at that time

Considering they put K2 on PC before 6, it would make sense that they want 3 4 and 5 on PC first.

>This article claims it runs at 60fps on a 1060 (1080p)

I highly fucking doubt that.

is it less boring than kiwami 1? I couldn't finish that one after zero.

kiwami and zero ran well, why wouldn't this run well?

I mean it makes sense, but I wouldn’t expect PC ports yet when the localisations aren’t even confirmed. We might not even get them like 1&2 HD

Because Zero and Kiwami are PS3 games and Kiwami 2 is a game designed for the PS4 on an engine made specifically for the PS4?

Because they were PS3 games that also ran at 60fps on PS4

>that stupid shit that is pretty good at the end of the story in the series

I don't know why the game is the most popular in the game and I haven't played a game that is a shit game where you want to play the game and the only thing that would be real to be a point of the fact that the game is just the first time and have to be a good idea of a fucking big boss in the first place. I want to play the game in the series because I could play a game that got some stronger than a real life in the series. I would think it was a mistake.

It's arguably the best in the series, besides 0

It'd be dumb for them not to since there's a lot of people who just started with the series on PS4/PC and don't own a PS3

yeah, and you realize they ported ps4 versions because it's cheaper. I seriously doubt it will run badly, unless the usual journos retardation of x4 MSAA or something in that direction.

Different engine that is far more demanding.

really? have they changed locations? I simply couldn't handle going through same locations in kiwami 1 after zero.

If Sega were smart we’d have 1&2 HD

There’s a new city, but you’ll have to finish 1 to understand what’s even going on

They're a lot smarter about the localizations nowadays, so I have some faith in them.

Again, these are completely different engines. Zero and Kiwami are using the same engine 5 used on the PS3 with models and textures that aren't extremely detailed and missing a lot of effects the newer engine has. Kiwami 2 is using the engine 6 used on PS4 and only on PS4. It's got dynamic lighting, dynamic shaders, realistic sweat, higher resolution models and textures, particle effects, everything is loaded in the world, the shops and buildings can be entered seamlessly, and a hell of a lot more than that. This is like comparing Ratchet and Clank PS4 to Ratchet and Clank PS2 and asking why PS2 runs better than PS4.

>3 remaster cuts out even more content
>Sega plant drugs on 4 remasters’ Tanimura voice actor
They can’t keep getting away with this

Speaking of Kiwami 2's graphics, did anyone else find the facial animations really uncanny? Especially when talking outside of cutscenes, Kiryu's mouth would animate but the rest of his face would stay stock still, it's weird looking. I'm not sure if this is just how the new engine works or a problem with Kiwami 2 in particular since I haven't played 6.

Nigga link the benchmark

I feel like the newer engine has been fine with animations, I do believe K2 uses the original 2’s animations for cutscenes but honestly, 2 had pretty amazing animation for PS2 standards and it’s not as noticeable as it was with K1. 6 had way better animation overall of course but nothing ever felt uncanny to me. The graphics aren’t stylised but they’re not ultra realistic either

It's a problem with all games that do facial and motion capture separately.
LA Noire had the same issue.
That's why modern games do motion capture with the voice actors instead so they can do motion and facial capture at the same time, unfortunately SEGA and Yakuza is still behind.

K2 reused a lot of the original games cutscenes animations. 6 and judgment are animated from the ground up so they look a lot better.

I gave up about running anything that requieres a CPU but it seems I'm okay with the GPU.
Can't fucking wait to upgrade my shit on July, at least seems I will be able to play Y2.

Yeah, I think the rendered cutscenes looked fine even using the original 2's animations. It's this kind of thing that I'm talking about:
youtube.com/watch?v=STAXulMZZ-8&t=18m18s

I think is probably the most accurate as to why it's the way it is. I didn't notice it at first but it started becoming really apparent when I was doing a lot of substories.

It reminded me of "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

Wtf dude, spoilers

What’s most important to know is that the homeless man collecting all the money falling from the sky at the end of the game turns out to be the biggest omegachad in the series and is tied best boy with Shinada

Its so weird they didnt make him look like Akiyama in Kiwami

Yeah that bothered me.

You guys were right about 0 being much better than Kiwami but I still really enjoyed it. So how is Kiwami 2 compared to 0?

Kiwami 2 is much better than Kiwami 1 but still not as good as 0.

2 is considered as good if not better than 0, it’s really just personal preference. K2 is leagues better than K1 at least

You usually see people have Y0, Y5 or Y2/K2 as their favorite Yakuza game so I guess that says something

Kiwami 2's a different beast. The story's fun though it gets pretty ridiculous at the end (But that's par for the course for the series and I love it). Kaoru and Ryuji are great, Daigo at least tries to look good and is at his best outside of 5 here, it's got some good fights (Though original 2 had better Ryuji fights), and the substories are okay but not perfect. Clan Creator is a step down from 6's and more of an annoyance with Chono being the best part about it, Four Shine is great and a good continuation from 0, and the Majima Saga is okay and is more just to close up loose ends that 0 left open. It's a fun game, and 2 in general is fun.

Yakuza Kiwami redesigned every boss fight, making them more obnoxious, complete with more hit stun and double HP for no conceivable reason, as well as the ability to regen health for no damn reason.
Nevermind that they completely fucking butchered the DoD style.

There's a ton more that's wrong with Kiwami that isn't wrong with 1, but i've been through this conversation a million times, and i'm not reiterating the entire thing again.

Yakuza 0 and Kiwami were PS3 games, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is less than a year old in the west and is on a completely new engine.

Kenzan has a bunch of problems in the story regarding child prostitution so they probably don't want to touch that with a ten foot pole when it comes to localization. They also didn't remaster it so that also shows they're not thinking about it. It's a fun game but it's got some problems. Good story, good characters, and a lot of what you see in modern Yakuza games stems from things this did. There's a translation patch in the works.
Ishin is NEVER EVER tier, Sega's been teasing us for years about localizing it and they never pull the plug. It's a fun game but the story leaves a lot to be desired as do most of the characters. Boss fights are mostly just the same fighting style with some attacks changed except for some rare exceptions, Mine gets a lot more time to shine here which is great, and the overworld is one of my favorite in the series.

Both are easily playable with the English guides but Kenzan needs Japanese guides in conjunction with the English guides if you want to 100% it and I can tell you personally it's a pain in the ass and takes a long time.

having a boss recover a little bit of health is SO much worse than gun enemies that stun lock you for your 1/4 of your life bar every shot
or those kick boxer enemies that have armor

so much worse

The hit stun thing has been more and more common in more recent Yakuza games since Kiwami, no fucking idea why the devs love it so much. Playing FotNS right now and every single enemy will just knock you on your ass constantly, it’s a fucking pain. 6 also had some massive issues with it especially with the larger crowds the game loves to throw at you.

Can’t remember it being all that bad in K2 but I do recall the Man in Black boss fights being a pain and him knocking me around constantly

Was going to just hold off on the series for the time being until Shin hits but Judgement seems interesting, may give that a look.

The story always loses it's shit some point towards the end, even in the first game where they could've just burned that pile of money or something

The latter.
Just about everything in Yakuza can be undone at any moment with a nonsense twist
>RUBBER BULLETS!
It's kind of hard to really care about the stakes or story when so much of it is just melodrama designed to make you care about a situation for 15 minutes before it turns out it didn't really matter.

all yakuza games have something stupid

It's shit. If the bomb was real it would've been a kino way to end Kiryu's story and move into 3 with a new protagonist, but instead they pussied out. Forcing Kiryu to come back to Kamurocho over and over, especially when they started the multiple character thing in 4, is IMO one of the most questionable writing decisions in the series.

It's got some upgrades and downgrades. Personally find the new combat a mixed bag but that's largely from the lack of grappling moves compared to past games.

Post all the nitpicks you want but at the end of the day it just feels good to beat up a load of guys with ease and then seduce women. It makes me feel cool, so who cares about all this plot analysis shit? So the writing and combat aren't great, who cares? It's cool as fuck.

brother i have a 650ti and a amd x3 720
stop complaining

Why are you asking this again?
You get answers to this question the other day.

It’s suspenseful, makes you fear for Kaoru and Kiryu’s lives and makes you wonder if Terada is actually gonna fucking blow up Kamurochou

It’s just that the cliffhanger is immediately resolved in the post credits scene so it was all kinda pointless, not as bad as in 3 where Kiryu gets stabbed for like the 50th time and you know he’s gonna survive but the game acts like he might die and yet again the post credits scene ruins the cliffhanger

>lack of grappling moves
Oh no, are you fucking serious? Those were the best thing about dragon style in 0/K1

ROUGE OF LOVE

You 5 minutes ago;
>THEY ARE THE SAME GAME!
You now;
>S-s-so what if they made changes to the gameplay to make it worse!

I also love when people say Jingu was always a stupid boss, and that he's only bad in Kiwami because he's bad in the original.
When in reality, Jingu is the perfect example of the changes Kiwami makes to every boss to make them obnoxious;
>Made Jingu himself unhittable unless you've beaten his guards
>Doubled both Jingu's health and his guards
>Made it so that his guards revive if you get halfway through Jingu's health
>Made it so literally every single attack by his guards will either instantly stagger you or stun you

You don't know what you're talking about because you've never played the original game.

Yeah, in Kiwami 2 it wasn't that much of a problem other than the Man in Black boss encounters, so they're at least wisening up about how annoying it is.
Kiwami 1 is the worst example in the entire series of constant hit stunning though.

Rubber bullets isn’t even the main twist, it’s that Katsuragi killed them all instead

People just love to take shit out of context I guess

Yeah you only get one type of grapple you can chain into attacks now. That being said throwing dudes is incredibly satisfying thanks to the new physics engine.

But the stakes are fake. Sure, it's suspenseful in the moment, but it just feels like you were duped once the "twist" happens
And as usual it's just some idiotic 4D chess explanation
>I did think so other people would think I did think so they do thing but it was just to make them do thing, I never actually did thing at all but they thought I did just to make them do thing

>>kiryu long lost brother
You mean Kazama's long lost brother.
Yakuza 3's story is a fucking mess.

>Rubber bullets
Is literally just an overused meme though, there wasn't much too wrong with it other than in the scene where Arai apparently shoots the Police Chief with a rubber bullet, not knowing it was a rubber bullet. That scene was BAD.

>>S-s-so what if they made changes to the gameplay to make it worse!
they fixed the BIGGEST problems with the first game that was clunky movements and kickboxers

It's still fucking stupid in context.
>Saejima's excellent coliseum scene, one of the best in the game

Why would you intentionally devalue the things you've written well?

Don't remember having to waste hours of my time tracking down Majima in the original just to get the basic moveset the bosses were designed around but hey it's been like eight years since I played it so maybe it's kinda funky.

TANPAI

I never played the original RGG1, but Kiwami's half-assedness is immediately apparent when the first major boss fight in the game turns out to be literal fucking mr. Shakedown torn out from Y0 with zero changes.

>Kiwami 1 is the worst example
I don’t know, 6 was up there at times for me. I got trapped in a corner at one point getting hitstunned constantly until I lost about 75% of my healthbar at one point, but I think that was in one of the Clan Creator boss fights and all the non-main story bossfights are poorly designed on these games to be fair

no you wasted those hours fighting commong tugs to level up enough to get the oldman to train you because he wont train you unless you spirit is level 6 or some bullshit

Have they changed racing in Kiwami PC? I'm using a guide for builds and keep losing the races

They skim over it pretty quickly, though. People act like it’s some big twist when as I said before it’s brought up a handful of times. It’s nowhere near as retarded as twin CIA brother but I agree that it kinda shits all over Saejimas great character arc

I know that BP2 has a really silly story when you think about how everything falls into place but I wasn't expecting a boss like this at all. Especially with the fact that he's a hitman who kills two people in the main story.

It doesn't devalue anything Saejima says. Saejima thought he had killed all those people for decades and lived with the fact that he believed he killed them which tormented him. He always had the intention to kill them as well so even if Katsuragi shot them all he still ended up being the reason they all died anyway and was entirely willing to murder them so either way the deaths are on his hands and Katsuragi's hands. Even if they didn't die from the rubber bullets the end result is them being incapacitated to die by Katsuragi's hands which makes Saejima an accomplice to murder.

BRAKING THE LAW

BREAKING THE WORLD

0 also lifted movesets from 4 and 5.
Gamefaqs guide works without touching boost in most races, I just finished the game with that.

I don’t know, it really edges close to Saejima getting away with everything after it’s found out he was framed. Not to mention his extremely short prison sentence in 5 despite him being an accomplice to the deaths of 18 people. I just want to play as a morally grey Yakuza dude in this series for once, the closest we have is Akiyama funnily enough who gets women to prostitute themselves for bank loans and Majima in Dead Souls

Yakuza 5 is my favorite game in the series along with Yakuza Dead Souls. I really want both games to be ported to PC but I know it will never happen so I can only hope RPCS3 performance will improve well enough for me to play both games at acceptable frame rate and 4k resolution.

>I just want to play as a morally grey Yakuza dude in this series for once
I think this is why 4's twist is so irritating to me compared to every other one in the series. The characters are Yakuza, literal gangsters, and yet every one we play as is cast as this perfect saint of a person. I liked the idea of Saejima being a real reformed criminal, it makes him distinct in the game's cast. It also shows more nuance than the hamfisted "good guys only go good things" and "bad guys only do bad things" writing that plagues Yakuza, mainly when it comes to talking about the big bad of each game.

>Dead Souls
That's a bit unique.
I just want Kenzan and Ishin.

>it really edges close to Saejima getting away with everything after it’s found out he was framed.
You can believe that if you want but he didn't get away with it. He served decades of jail time and in the end he's still the reason the Ueno clan got murdered even if his personal bullets weren't the ones to cause their deaths. RGG Team can pretend he's absolved but he's not, he still went there with the full intent to murder the entire clan in cold blood and ultimately succeeded, albeit in a roundabout way. Even after he gets out he's immediately back with the Tojo Clan to extort and threaten people as head of his family alongside Majima. I'm with you on the whole 5 thing though, he should have been put away for life after that whole fiasco considering his background.
>I just want to play as a morally grey Yakuza dude in this series for once
Tatsuya is exactly that. In 1 he laughs when he thinks he killed a bunch of Tojo Clan members, he's constantly beating the hell out of everyone he meets to a bloody pulp without remorse, he's a dick and only helps people when it benefits him before he eventually starts helping because he doesn't like seeing people who can't fight getting beat down, he knows all the leaders of the gangs in Kamurocho and helps them in territorial fights, he tries extorting people for money, and he only somewhat grows up at the end of the game.
He's nicer and more mature in 2 but he's still beating the hell out of people, however this time he's helping people more out of a need to do right or because he can't stand the weak being picked on when he can stop them. I mean hell, in 2 he goes around beating the shit out of Asura members without a care in the world for Ryusho and helping gang members to keep their territory while occasionally giving pep talks to his buddies or Ryusho.

I've been trying to play through Dead Souls on RPCS3, it's steadily been improving but it's still not great. Rendering at 4k doesn't have a noticeable effect on performance but the game runs at a sub-acceptable FPS regardless.

That's PS3 games you fucking retard

If Dead Souls runs higher than 20ish FPS you're already playing better than on an actual PS3.

I feel like we’ll never get Kenzan. If it’d be localised it would absolutely have to be ported to PS4 first, then get a localisation on PS4 and then get a port to PC. The chances of all three happening are slim if not nigh impossible but I’d like to eat those words.

Ishin is pretty slim at this point too considering it’s about 5 years old but I’m still hoping for it. Samurai games seem popular nowadays and Yakuza as a series has really taken off. It’s probably the perfect time to give it a localisation but it still might be too risky

Not him and I never tried it on RPCS3 but on the PS3 the framerate only really dropped when there were lots of zombies on screen. From what I`ve seen in gameplay videos on RPCS the low frame rate is constant which probably makes it unplayable.

Too bad I don’t know Japanese and don’t have a PSP. I know there’s fan translations out there but the main thing is that BP’s gameplay doesn’t really appeal to me if I’m honest and that’s really what it’s all about

Kenza fan translation patch is coming though and I think the game is playable on RPCS3 but i`ll probably play it on the actual PS3 to avoid glitches and stuff.

Uh, spoilers?

My bad I think it`s actually ishin? I don't remember it but I read it somewhere that one of the games was almost entirely translated at this point.

I just can’t be bothered to import it. Sucks that they didn’t start selling these games digitally until 4, and even then you still have to get DS physical. Compare that to Ishin where you just need a Japanese account which anyone can make and some Japanese PSN store credit codes from playasia and download it to your PS4

Last update for Kenzan
yakuzapatch.tumblr.com/post/180102954356/still-alive-but-very-late

Kenzan's most likely off the table right now because they would have done it with 3-4-5 considering it's 3's predecessor/skeleton and much more unpolished than 3. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually Kiwami this though considering Ishin brought so many improvements to the table just to Hand-to-Hand alone and with the Dragon Engine we'd be able to run around all of Japan without load screens and Kenzan was a bunch of small maps stitched together outside of Gion. Thankfully there's a translation patch in the works.

Ishin's problem is where do they put it in the release schedule? Judgment is next month meaning 3-4-5 HD would need to be released in a trilogy pack early next year, and then Shin would be in late 2020. This is assuming that 3-4-5 aren't released individually to spread out the releases even more. This means unless they shove it in somewhere before Shin or before 3-4-5 HD then you're looking at early 2021 and that's when the PS5 is going to be the main focus point for sure. They could pull what they're pulling on PC but I think the surveys told them how often they should be releasing in general (Seems like they like the "Every three to six months" schedule) so they probably wouldn't risk that. Even if PS5 is rumored to be BC it still seems iffy at best.

>but on the PS3 the framerate only really dropped when there were lots of zombies on screen
and when there were explosions, when there was fire (Molotov zombies are always throwing them if they even see you), when you have a Meathead on the screen close to you, and if more than like five zombies are affected by those Bloater-type special zombies because they get the glowing eye effects. Dead Souls difficulty has every zombie like that so even seeing a couple zombies is enough to start causing the framerate to drop. Hell, even cutscenes are pretty low, a majority of Majima cutscenes are no way above the 20 mark like when he's fighting the first Meathead.

Are you threatening me?

Anymore K2 benchmarks out there?

Starting with 0 was a mistake. Majima is way too lolrandumb in Kiwami.

yeah it's fucking wild

gamegpu.com/rpg/ролевые/yakuza-kiwami-2-test-gpu-cpu

Not really.
The way he was used as a pawn in 0 makes it clear now he just does whatever the fuck he wants. He wears the persona constantly rather than getting embroiled in succession politics bullshit. There are a few jarring moment, but it's not really contradictory

On my hardware I get about 15 FPS in Kamurocho, up to 20 if I stare at the ground while I run around. 30 is pretty consistent in mission areas unless it's crowded, might be capable of more but for now capping FPS seems to have a decent boost on performance. My CPU is kind of mediocre as far as current hardware is concerned so you might get a few more FPS with a more powerful set-up, but I'm not sure. The bigger problem remains that emulator randomly and frequently hangs without being able to be recovered

I mean the Yakuza team are not afraid of releasing games on outdated consoles, as are the localisation team. Yakuza 5 came out like 2 years after the PS4 was a thing and they were releasing PS3 versions of games well into 2016.

It plays mostly like the mainline games. The only difference in in-game battles is the stamina system, fights are more on a 1v1 scale but can be 1v3, you can sway to cause your opponent to lose stamina, and you can parry your enemies in a traditional sense, not a Tiger Drop sense. Heat Actions are the only system handled pretty differently because it's based on your style rather than the environment. Everything outside of the fights is 1:1 like 1 and 2 on PS2 with how you explore and all that good stuff.

Yeah, fair enough. I wouldn't see them doing a PS5 version of Ishin though, it just wouldn't make sense particularly because they wouldn't be remaking it on the Dragon Engine. If anything they'd just do the PS4 version and leave it at that. They're not afraid of releasing non-DE games after DE is out anyway (FotNS being after 6 and K2).

Hopefully there’s multiple styles like Judgment + running and jumping off walls and shit

Fuck this.

Amon is gay in literally every release, that doesn't factor in at all for me.

Ishin had the best gauntlets, prove me wrong.

Amon is always a bullshit optional hidden boss. There has not been a good Amon fight, only tolerable ones

Ryzen 5 1500X overclocked to 4.0GHz.

Did Arase come back anywhere other than in Dead Souls? I can remember. I really wish they’d stop bringing back the Flower Triad, the Jingweon were 20x more memorable but even they were pretty shit in 6

Korean Virgil was easily a better boss and a more compelling on than half of the Onomichi Organization including the in game incarnate of “Please Understand, Nintendo man, Iwata”

>Amon is gay in literally every release
In 0 both Amons are super easy. Jo is bullied by Majima legend counter, in So fight you literally invincible for most of the fight and his canon in first phase doesn't even dealt damage to me for some reason

I stand by the notion that Amon is so bullshit to fight it sometimes loops back around to being fun. Being shot by a massive black hole laser cannon and instantly dying is just kinda funny to me. He is fucking stupidly hard in 1 and Kiwami, though. Genuinely can’t beat him in either game and I don’t have the autism nor patience to get good enough at these games to want to actually beat him

Yeah being a corelet is suffering on RPCS3.

I have a 1080ti so I should be mostly good

So I should be able to hit 60fps at 1440p if I turn nonsense settings down, nice.

He was one of the better antagonists but I just wanted him to fuck off. Game would’ve been better with a one or two less organisations being involved in the plot for no reason, I just wanted some comfy times with my Hiroshima Yakuza family

>The gauntlet leading you to Katsura.
>Okita and Ryoma attacking Tokugawa's palace.
>The Terada Inn gauntlet.
>The entire Kyoto gauntlet near the end of the game.

>There has not been a good Amon fight
Kenzan, 1, 2, Kiwami 2, 0, and Fist of the North Star until you reach the final phase where he one-shots you outside of Burst Mode and you can't block his attacks because it's like Shin's and Rei's where it bypasses your guard. 5 is also okay outside of the Devil Trigger dashing in Kiryu's fight.
Dead Souls is the worst because he can one-shot you out of nowhere while 3, Ishin, and K1's are awful because they are unbeatable without either spending a decade of your life dodging attacks and hitting them once or just Tiger Dropping them making the whole fight boring. I can't remember much about 4 but I remember them being alright as well.

He's the one behind all the hitmen in 3. You fight him alongside another guy on top of the HHA building.

>mfw trying to clear out the first Kuze encounter on Legend without healing

Attached: 23.png (220x229, 11K)

I remember 4’s being pretty good but I also remember the Amon you fight as Akiyama being really annoying but it was mainly due to his play style. Same issue I had with 5’s coliseum.

The only other games I play on RPCS3 are the Atelier series, which emulate pretty flawlessly. I'm at peace with it.

Kiwami's can't be done without Tiger Drop as far as I could tell after two hours of attempts without using it. Phase 1 is fair for a bit and then after you get him down to like half his health it's essentially impossible to dodge some of his attacks due to how quickly he's dodging around that you will still be in a dodge/attack animation before he goes to hit you again. Phase 2 is "I deal 60% of your health in one slash, run around incredibly quickly, and have a disgustingly long range" where he only opens his back to two hits before immediately beginning to counter your attacks meaning you can get one or two hits in (Chip damage) before you need to dodge for like a minute straight to get him to leave himself open.

1's isn't too bad, you just need to make sure you defeat the grenade phase ASAP (I just used a crappy cheap dagger I picked up from a fight I think, I did my best to stay away from those cheesy tournament swords). The gun phase and the melee phase are totally doable, they just require some patience. You can also attempt Tiger Dropping but the timing is so rough in the PS2 games. It's harder than the DE ones in my opinion.

Yeah, that's why I don't like Legend mode.

I did beat him in Kiwami. The cheese way is weapon heat actions and dragon style Heat actions (sumo slap or range counters that work from any direction). You can buld heat by wearing the gauntlets that guard from knife attacks , hit him with a couple jabs or dodge his run with Rush mode, than do the heat. You get full damage for each different one, so it adds up.
To make it even faster, after every knockdown, he always does that silly spin, so you can get a tiger drop or two safely. Also, you can tiger drop his standard run.

Mind you, it still took me an hour just to figure out the timing for most of his shit

>Benchmarks talk about improved mouse controls
Based

Weapon heat action spam works, guaranteed. I did it that way for the trophy.

>he is fucking stupidly hard in 1 and Kiwami, though. Genuinely can’t beat him in either game and I don’t have the autism nor patience to get good enough at these games to want to actually beat him
He was my first Amon and I beat him in like 6 tries or such, mostly just by spamming tiger drop of course. If a zero zoomer like me can do it you can too

>The truck.

Attached: 1328735989856.jpg (1168x778, 122K)

Most people seem to panick when he gets the stupid speed up in his lst tow health bars in both phases, but if you stay back a ceartain range *rush helps), he always starts to resort to some of his more predictable attacks, like the somersault one and the shitty spin. And of course, his quickrise from knockdown is easy tiger bait if you have practiced a bit on Breaker majima, so do a few heat moves and get two fucking tiger drops for free

Will there ever be a mod that removes Memejima Everything system from Kiwami?

If you do not actively try to fight him on the street, you get very few fights (since if you do not fight him or go to the areas the email indicates, you do not rrigger shit like hidden/ambush majima either)

Yeah the mod is called playing the original Yakuza 1

You can just turn on a one-hit KO cheat if you get into a fight with him

Kiryu-chan!

I’m pretty exited for Judgement. I’ve always wanted a more detective feel to a yakuza game. Hopefully it’s good.

Gonna wait for it to come out on PC next year.

>Kaoru’s VA voices Yuria in FotNS
Did they forget Yumi existed? Kaoru is the better waifu but Yumi and Yuria are basically the same character aren’t they? Shin and Ken basically go through the same thing as Kiryu and Nishiki, except Nishiki didn’t kidnap Yumi I guess

That's not how the system works.
Majima is always in one of two states: Active and Event.
Active is how Shakedown works, he appears on the map and wanders around. During this time you are free to run around the entire map, Majima will strictly only be where he is on the map and will chase you if he sees you for a bit.
Event is where you can't see him on the map at all. Passing by Shichifuku or certain streets will cause From Behind/Above/Below, random NPCs will spawn around the map that, if bumped into, will cause a fight where Majima intrudes (Taihei Beef Bowl East spawns Mad Dog if you bump into the guy there, the center of Tenkaichi next to the Poppo and Third Park gets you Thug I think), and causes cars/cones/manholes to rattle.

If you beat Majima at all in either mode it will rid the map of Majima until your next loading screen (Such as entering a store). The only exception with this is e-mail events, they act as a load so even if you did an event a Majima should still spawn on the map after it, and you can also do events (As long as the game allows it if Majima isn't resting because your rank is too high) even if you already beat Majima and didn't go through a loading screen. A loading screen will always reset Majima on the map and can cycle through Active or Event. If you don't see Majima on the map you can just keep entering a store if you do, and vice versa, assuming you don't have a bar of Heat to see his location in the first place.

You know what pisses me most about these games? Is that fucking animation when you get knocked and enemy bashes you with a blunt weapon as if he's fucking petting you gently

I was the OP of that post and I beat him in every game except 6. He’s mad easy in K1. I haven’t touched K2 yet, but I know in 3 he’s tolerable, 4 ain’t too bad, same with 5. 0 wasn’t hard especially when you’re Kiryu and Majima have max stats etc.

In 6, the fucking physics of the engine itself literally fuck you over. Extreme Heat mode is almost worthless unless you time shit right. Parry heat is your only good tool. Tiger drop timewindow is too small you can either hit or fuck up and do a front kick and you take mad damage. The worst though is the bump physics by his drones. You hit them and you literally stumble for a few seconds. That shit is critical especially when they can one shot you.

Being one-shotted by a silly drone is the worst feeling in the whole franchise. I swear and I’ve run through the gamut

Why do we still have to fucking mash the X button to get up after getting knocked down?
It's been almost 30 years since Streets of Rage came out, you know

If you do not do the first few roaming street fights or actively examine the cone at the start, he will remain in that state always.
So he is very easy to ignore. Of course, that means Dragon Style remains mostly ass.

There’s a period where the prompt comes up but you have to wait for the falling down animation to finish before you can get back up too, the stun mechanics in these games are the worst parts about them

If you just pick up a roomba and throw it it breaks every drone and roomba around it without hurting you. It also hurts Amon himself if he's caught in the explosion and if there's too many of them you can just run to the opposite end of the Arena and ones that are close to exploding will explode while Amon gets to you before new ones start spawning in with a new timer. I thought the fight would be like the one webm a guy made of the JP version but I beat it the second try. The roombas are meant to be used during the fight.

Yeah, but most people will have done that because they want to get DoD going in the first place or they didn't know about the e-mail event stopping an encounter. You can also max it out to C in chapter 4 and A in chapter 6 and not have him bug you until chapter 6 and 11 respectively if you want.

>Y5 Akiyama vs Y4 Akiyama
Y5 is hands down the weakest version by far. All your good heat moves are gone and that damage is laughable

Cue bakamitai

You have a mental illness, just so you know.

i found the coliseum pretty easy with everyone but shinada, though i eventually got the hang of that too.
all i did for akiyama was dodge behind them and spam slash kicks which would tear through their health bars.

wat

Playing Kiwami on Legend right now and i want to end my life on the fucking car chase

No but the homeless man was in the same spot as the flash back in 4.

I unplugged controller and got M+KB for it. Heat mode for quick shot line up saves up health for the fucking truck

I hear using a mouse makes it way easier, if you aren't already doing so

lmao just use your mouse

Remember to aim at the center of the circle for higher damage, not at the heads. As long as you can make it to the truck with more than 85% or so of your health bar it lets you survive a single hit when you duck for cover. The truck is still more or less luck though since you have to get him to recoil back at least once (Unless I'm wrong on that but that's how I did it). Still took like five or six tries though.

They're even doing two sets of subtitles in Judgement to match the dub and japanese.

>Remember to aim at the center of the circle for higher damage, not at the heads.
fuck, I didn't know about that

Yeah, I only found out about it when I was looking up tips myself. Works in 0 and the original as well.

>roombas
Oh I use em. I’m referring to the situation after you deplete his shield and he’s down to 25% health. He stunlocks you and his drones swarm in on you. You either can get juggled into them and die or try to finesse your way out while he attempts to fuck your shit up. On hard, he spams your extreme fist heat move or Majima’s “Spin-to-win” a lot so getting close is a bit tough and waiting for a roomba to stop is pushing it.

Though you are right, I did see some guy post a vid where he activated a full extreme heat gauge and it nullifies the drone explosion.

I had to use a mouse to beat that shit on legend.

Ah, that's what you meant. I didn't really have too many problems because I'd always try to keep afar, and I kept trying to limit my healing as much as I could in the fight. I did definitely get stunlocked at one point but not enough to get the roombas to explode at least. Only happened the first fight I had.

I love Kiwami 2's Amon theme

It's kinda lame that North Star's Amon just reuses tracks from previous games instead of having a new version.

Play 0 first

>tfw you played in release order

Wasn't that first used in Ishin?

sorta.
Ishin had Fiercest Warrior and each game after that would use a new composition/remix of it.

Good thing I didn't cave in for this one. GPU utilization looks to be absolute garbage.
