Yakuza Thread

I wanted to hate her so much but I just couldn’t bros. Why’d they have to suicide her and break my fucking heart.

I would pork Park.

She’s definitely in competition for best girl in the series, maybe next to Reina.

Who's your favorite character? Mine's Kuze, and I firmly believe he should be added to Tekken.

I'm playing through 0 right now, my first Yakuza game.
So far Majima's story is much more gripping than Kiryu's. But Majima's side stuff, like the weapon crafting and cabaret club seem useless compared to Kiryu's real estate.
Weapon part scouting and crafting seem pretty useless in general, and they're also a huge money sink. A money sink for the money I don't have, because the cabaret club can't make you money in the background while you're playing the game proper. And when you have to attend to it, it takes a lot of time and the income is less than what you get from random encounters. And the girls at the club don't rest between the shifts, while the agents at Kiryu's real estate firm are back to full power after they sit out on just one round of money collection.
How do I make money as Majima?

she was always a bitch and died like one. i hated how the game gloaryfied her as some kind of saint.

cabaret earns more later, but it's still less than real estate. this is why maximum upgrades cost less.
abusing shakedown is probably the best way to earn money.
don't bother with the weapon crafting since you'll never actually need it unless you're going for 100%.

For me, it’s Majima as a reasonable adult instead of an embarrassing joke character.

The game didn’t glorify her, it just explained why she developed a maternal relationship with Haruka.

She's trash

Bald Saejima. Slamming dudes on the floor by their legs is hilarious and painful

Unironically Kazama.

Also Y0 Goro. I played 0 first, so I was almost annoyed by his transformation. YK2 made me grow fond of Goro again though.

When you have BILLIONS after you finish cabaret questline, you can pay so the weapon search takes 0-3 seconds. You can get tons of materials and actual weapons in like 20 mins of spending frenzy. You mostly want to have 1 good weapon of each type anyway.

Send the money over to green suit guy and pick it up as Majima from the guitar guy

Saejima is such an underrated character, I love how straightforward and earnest he is. Plus his friendship with Baba is one of the highlights of 5 for me.

Who?

The guy who teaches you how to throw cash to distract people. He's in one of the bars

akiyama and that glasses guy who worked for her were sucking her none existing cock pretty damn hard. she pretty much blackmailed kyryu and threaten to destroy the orpanage if he didint give haruka too her.

Forever mad we didn't get to fight Amano as Kyriu, but Shibusawa was pretty good too.

She was pathetic woman that killed her baby for fame and money. The game was pretty clear about that.
Yeah, not everyone hated her, because she also has positive attributes. That's why you feel pity when she dies.

STOP TALKING ABOUT YAKUZA 0. Can we have one fucking thread talking about the other games?

Why? Her whole life she was chasing useless career in some empty industry. She was childless,old and pathetic.
Right after getting some surrogate daughter for one moment, she was killed without achieving anything in her life. The character is created to feel pity for.

They're all the same game, so they're all good games

i'm fed up with this meme.
0 fucks up a lot outside of the story, which is pretty ironic for one of these titles.

The switching fight styles got pretty annoying

What does it fuck up exactly? Minigames are solid and most substories are solid too.

Yakuza 5 literally has those same cities and three more

We have the boring cities from yakuza 0 as a filler.

>substories which are locked behind cabaret club and telephone clube are a pain to get.

story is good, along with the bosses (outside of kuze using the same moveset four times), and the gauntlets they have you go through. seeing kamurocho and sotenbori in the 80's is cool too and is different enough which keeps it from feeling too samey.
they really should have cut the styles down by half, and given them more individual abilities.
they're only doing two for judgment, and it seems like both styles have a good amount of useful abilities that aren't just passive upgrades.

You can send Kiryus money to Majima, but I suggest you just play the way you want it. If searching for the weapons is tedious for you, don’t bother.

The only advice I can give you is don’t fall in love with her.

The absolute state of Yakuza fans

I'm going to murder the raw fish-nigger that balanced the UFO catchers for the dragon engine.

Majima only came off as gay/bi to me due to his lolrandumXD persona.
0 shows this the most.

avoid the fujos

I actually like Majimas forced clown persona since he still shows to be serious as fuck if it needs be.
He literally created it to stop himself from going completely apeshit on the world which by en large took a big fat shit on him.

Why do fujos even feign to like this series when it’s obvious they’ve only play 2 games out of 8 main series entries?

Fucking spoilers, man.

What? Do you mean like western ones or something?

I personally would have preferred it the other way around. Only go apeshit when he‘s cornered like a battlescarred dog.

The same reason they ruin so many other franchises. They also only started playing Overwatch when Blizzard forced Soldier 76 to be hard gay.
And oh no, they instantly complained about the homophobia and harassment that gets swung around in open mic chat

Fuck that bitch.

Everything about Yakuza's design, from the VN "gameplay" to the repetitive unchallenging routine brawls to the melodramatic over the top storytelling is designed to appeal to autists.
It's a power fantasy for autistic people who would love to be able to beat up a bunch of guys with ease and have every single beautiful woman melt at the sight of you no matter how little interest you show them.

Real talk. I wish the entire game was a idol management rpg starring Haruka and Akiyama. Yakuza 5 was so boring.

just farm Mr. Shakedown, iirc Majima's bat style is pretty good for them cause you can do Heat Moves on them to knock them down without any special conditions, then switch back to his default style

Attached: 1555174340936.png (446x435, 250K)

Mr Shakedown only carries a few millions on him though. I can get as much from a few regular random encounters, without any risk of losing all of my dosh to fucked up hitboxes.
Also, what's the point of knocking him down and switching back to thug? All you can do is just stomp him on the ground once for minimal damage. Unless you mean just the raw damage from the heat action with the slugger style.

What's the ultimate autistic fantasy? Walking down a street and guys starting fights with you (you don't start fights with them because you're the good guy at the end of the day) and then they form a big group and you beat the shit out of all of them effortlessly. They barely get a punch in. You even do cinematic takedowns that make you look cool. Then they thank you for it, they bow down and WORSHIP you and give you gifts as an apology for what they've done.
Then you go to a hotel where 20 women, who all look like the most beautiful famous women there are, incidentally, all really want you to spend time with them. Why? Because you're just so great.

PeeSeeY0fag here, does this girl have a big penis too?

everytime you beat them they come back with a lot more, user. don't be scared of losing, he takes all your money but it gets added to his pool, it's not like you're losing it. just beat him and you get it all back.

Eh, it's not exactly wrong.
People mean the same thing when they claim a game isn't for "normies"

>tfw own a physical copy of yakuza 1,2,3,4,0 and 6
>tfw imported the japanese version of 5
>tfw buying judgement day one

I mean I think they kinda need to calm down with the Yakuza games now. It's a very heavy series story wise and cinematic wise. You will get burnt out.

The trick is to get the ability which lets you get 50% more when you beat him, since if you lose to him he takes all your money you can just beat him back except the money you get is increased by 1.5 so you get 1.5x more than you originally had, so just keep repeating the process, lose to him, then beat him, then lose to him, then beat him. It just keeps going until you hit the money cap and each time you get 1.5x the money you had before.

Does he get tougher with every time you beat him?
And while true, you can technically get back what he stole from you with interest, at this point in the game I can get about as much money through the other means, without any risk of losing them.
But anyway, that's beside the original point. I was just saying that Kiryu has it much better when it comes to source of income other than fighting, compared to Majima. The realty thing is much more convenient.

I don’t know about that. I played 0-56 (had to skip 3 because I couldn’t find a copy of it) over the span of about 6 months and I don’t feel burnt out at all. I’m excited to see how they change up things in 7, especially since Saejima and Majima play a nonexistent role in 6 and they’re my favorite characters.

>still have yuma asami jav in my HDD
>it was from 12 years ago

They get more health but it caps out along with their carry-on cash. The real reason why everyone tells you to farm them though, is because Kiryu gets a 1.2 bonus to their Shakedown reward after you unlock a CP trait. So every time you "deposit" your cash with them, you get 20% extra when you defeat him. It works just like compounding interest, after 4 exchanges you'd have doubled your initial cash.

Get Kiryu's ability that makes him drop more money, then alternate between winning and losing. You'll multiply your money by something like 1.3-1.8 with every iteration, so you can max it out relatively quickly.

>Kiryu
Why were people suggesting do this as Majima then?
My Kiryu is already swimming in dosh from the real estate income. All he has to do is go to the office and collect the money every five minutes. (I seriously hope none of the Five Billionaires challenge me to mahjong or shogi though)

Wifebeaters don't get to be happy.

I still want to fuck her, desu.

>at this point in the game I can get about as much money through the other means, without any risk of losing them.
Except Shakedown can give you 15 trillion in one fight and setting that up takes less than a couple minutes with the Encounter Finder and takes less than 10 seconds to kill with Beast considering you mention you're done with Real Estate. Real Estate with all S tier stores only gives you about 50 billion I think it was every 15-30 minutes. As long as you retain roughly 5 trillion on Kiryu you will forever gain max money from a Shakedown losing to him.

Attached: YAKUZA 0_20180129040036.jpg (1920x1080, 388K)

Majima doesn't get the same 1.2x bonus, but he gets early access to Tiger/Dragon and you can farm the shotguns (slime/zap/smoke gun) there. They make quick work of the Shakedowns and you can use that for some early cash.

Later on Kiryu will get access to the same T&D inventory, so with those guns + 1.2x bonus + initial cash from real estate, you have the greatest money laundering scheme in 80s Japan.

Are you blind or dyslexic or what? I'm at the start of chapter 8 and I get around 50 million from the real estate per cycle, while Mr. Shakedown only carries like 5-10 millions on him.

>that screenshot
HOLY fuck. I never bothered with money farming in Y0. That is obscene.

You realize killing Shakedown once will raise that to 100 million, right? Then another time will raise that to 1-2 billion? Which takes 5 minutes without Encounter Finder and just regular Zap Guns?

>the shotguns
I'll look into it. Never really bothered using weapons. I mean those that you can't just pick up on the streets.

While this is really cool in concept, when do you actually need this much money and, consequently, top tier weapons? The only superboss is Jo Amon, right?

That's AFTER I beat him once already. And Mr. Shakedown requires a considerable effort to beat (and find in the first place).

Make sure you pair them with a critical health Majima with a Champion's Ring (Or whatever the RTSR ring is called) or a full health Beast for the most effect.
Zap Gun > Smoke Gun = Slime Gun.

>And Mr. Shakedown requires a considerable effort to beat (and find in the first place).
You can beat Shakedown in less than two minutes with a decently powered Thug or Brawler without much risk because he has a whole two moves that let you get multiple hits in every time he misses. You can beat him this fast with a Zap Gun and Beast on Legend provided you get the "Damage increases with full health" ability.
Finding Shakedowns is a non-issue, go do Miracle's substories, the second one gives you the Encounter Finder for Kiryu (It's missable so make sure you pick the right box) and you will always know where he is. Every time you beat him just go to a loading screen (I.E. enter a store) and he'll be on the map again.

>when do you actually need this much money
You don't really need more than 100 billion to survive in this game, but it's a thing you can exploit 3~4 times and get enough money set for the rest of the game.

Later on, you'll also unlock a money sink to upgrade your stats with cash up to 999 times, it's something you don't need to do to complete the game, but it might trigger your grinding autism.

Cheesing Amon with weapons is lame but yeah, you can use them on him. You need the money so you can piss it away on Equipment Searching if you're going for 100% or even if you just want the best armor because you're spending roughly 100 million or so every time you search to have them instantly finish. The secret areas that pop up every once in a while cost in the 500 million range to get them down to 10 seconds and you need to search them a lot if you want the style-specific damage buff equips which are exclusive to them and you'll be searching endgame areas which are in the 100 million range or higher multiple times just for materials.

Basically it's to make it so you never need to wait, and DoD/Mad Dog require several hundred quintillion if you want to max them out at 999 if I remember right but no one in their right mind would attempt that because the orb filling speed alone will want to make you kill yourself and filling it out once already makes you pretty overpowered.

There's some video of it on youtube, but iirc Amon is cakewalk by 20 or so.

Salt Shakers which are the weakest Heat Action do like 3 bars of health. You can kill them in two Rush punches.

How the fuck do you play Mahjong?

Trying to learn Mahjong so I could play it in these games has been the worst experience of my life.

I literally spent 2 hours playing it in Kiwami 2 today, and I still have no fucking idea what to do.

fucking chinks and their overly complicated board games

Attached: 1200337425717.jpg (640x480, 64K)

Picture related. Sequence being something like 1-2-3 of the same type of tile. Don't steal tiles outside of a Ron because that immediately causes you to have way harder hands you need to make in order to have a winning hand, only do that once you understand the game and understand when it's appropriate because it shows people what kind of hand you're trying to make and prevents others from discarding what you need. Make sure you press square at every turn in case you're one tile away from winning and don't realize it which allows you to all Riichi which puts you into an auto-discard state for 1000 points until you win, lose, or run out of tiles. I just always go into Riichi unless there's only a couple turns left since you get a free 2000 points if you win.

Outside of that just use these simple hands:
>Entire hand is filled with everything being three of the same tile.
>Hand has two sequences that are the same so something like 1-1-2-2-3-3 of the same type of tile.
>Hand has the same sequence in all three types of tiles so something like 1-2-3 bamboo, kanji, and wheels.
>Don't have a 1 or 9 tile in your hand.
>Three of the same wind tile as the one next to your name or at the center of the board.
>Three of any of the honor tiles meaning the green kanji, red kanji, or pure white tile.
>Full Straight which is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 of the same type of tile, then a sequence/triple and a pair of any other type of tile. If you manage to make the entire hand the same type of tile you get way more points but it's a lot harder.
>Entire hand is just pairs meaning doubles only so make Christian Bale proud.

Attached: 1559477963559.png (564x487, 225K)

Does it matter if you have mutiple suits? So if I have, say, 1-2-3 in bamboo, can I also have 7-8-9 in bamboo? Or can you only have one of each suit per grouping?

Yep, otherwise everyone would need a wind and a dragon for every hand which is almost impossible to have happen. Like I said, there's a special hand called a Full Straight which is 1 through 9 in a single suite and a Full Flush for the entire hand being one suite.

Oh yeah, thats what a flush is.

Also, why dont you want to have 1 or 9 in your hand?

6 was one of the best entries in the series and didn't deserve 1/10 of hate it get.
Prove me wrong

It's a bonus called "All Simples" which gives you 1000 points. You can weave it into your point count which is why I mention it. Oh, one more thing, make sure you go into the options and enable "Red Dora". This adds red 5 tiles to all the suits in the game and if you make a hand with them in it it gives you 1000 free points.

Attached: YAKUZA KIWAMI 2_20180916012334.jpg (1920x1080, 745K)

it's defos not one of the best, but it's not god awful like people describe it as.

Oh thats what all simples is.

Speaking of the Dora, how does it work exactly? If you have a pair or straight of tiles starting with the next in sequence you get a bonus? So if the dora is a bamboo 2, if you have a straight of 3-4-5 bamboo, you get a dora bonus?

Haruka was a mistake

As a PC fag I can't wait to test my patience against 3 or if it's exactly the same shit as usual, shit I love for the record.
I mean I had alot of fun with Kiwami too, not as much as with 0 but it was a good time.

Dora and Ura-Dora are calculated at the end tally. I'm still not 100% sure I know how they work because sometimes it's the exact tile shown and sometimes it's +1 the tile being shown (So a 2 would actually be a 3) which confuses me, but no, it doesn't require a set for a bonus, it's strictly just having that tile in your hand to get a bonus. You can reveal more Dora/Ura-Dora if you call a Kan (Four of the same tile) which you can do via stealing the fourth tile or, if you draw the fourth tile, you can manually call it in a closed hand by pressing square (This doesn't reveal your hand).

Attached: 73453454.png (1416x1000, 1M)

Well yeah, quite literally

3 just has some moments of downtime which a lot of people don't like. When you get to Ryukyu you can't really explore Okinawa until about 30 minutes to an hour into staying there and two or three times during the story it just outright comes to a halt to hang out with the kids. It's got a great final boss (My favorite personally just because of the music + dynamic intro for the first time in the series) and some incredibly hilarious stuff with Wesker, but think of it as the beach episode of the Yakuza series. It's like 6, not as bad as everyone says it is but it does have its issues.

The minigame requirements can go suck an egg though, screw Expert AI and their cheating bullshit.
>Expert darts almost always throws 420 every time and never misses in 301.
>Expert pool banks perfectly and can one-turn the entire board without you even getting a turn and then missing almost never ever happens.
I still get angry thinking about those assholes and golf. Fuck golf.

Alright Yakuzafriends, help me out: I just beat Yakuza 5's story and I've done a fair amount of the side content. What I have left to do is hunting, baseball, and basically all of Shinada's side stories. I'm debating going back to finish up Shinada's stuff--he didn't really interest me as a character so I just ran through his chapter quickly. Likewise, hunting seemed kind of boring. If I don't go back to do that stuff in 5, I'll probably just move on to 6/Judgement. Any thoughts?

Sounds like I'll be fine then and busy shitposting about pool whenever 3HD hits steam.

i'd say it's worth doing the main missions in those sidecontents, since the stories are pretty nice and saejimas in particular wraps up in a wholesome way.

I played and loved Yakuza 0. Should I play Kiwami 1 even if I already know the entire plot? I heard it has a lot less sidequests compared to 0. Or should just go straight to Kiwami 2?

So are we getting 3,4,5,6 remasters and judgement right?

Go to 2.

On PC and PS4, likely.

I think Yakuza 2 had a recap option at the start of the game, so you do you. Both games arent terribly interesting in terms of content compared to 5 and 0 personally.

I have 6 sidestories left in K2 and for the love of god can't find them. I'd guess 2 of them are amon but the rest just eludes me.
100%ed the big sidegames and got the sidestory from batting othereise I'm at a loss.
Running arround with or without Haruka and changing time doesn't seem to make any new ones show up either.

3 onwards readily availble for PS4, they're not getting remaster anytime soon.

They've already been released in Japan

Shinada's worth it because the substories give a decent amount of character to him and the baseball stuff itself is actually fun once you get good gear. It becomes pretty silly how big the radius is on the hits. His trainer is also great because it's Shinada teaching an autistic man how to get women and you can meet the Hozoin Tournament descendant from Kenzan during the fighting stuff as well.
Hunting is okay for the story but if you're going to do it ignore traps completely, they really do nothing for you and I basically just set them up everywhere I could just to fill out the map, regardless of what the old man said about respect for nature. You'll eventually learn that running around shooting any animal you see is the best idea, but if you find it boring don't force yourself.

Play it anyway. It's got some nice references coming off of 0 (Though the substories coming from 0 are not canon because 6 overwrites what happened in them and pretends they never existed) and it's short even if going for 100%. There's also the whole thing with Date being introduced (He's Kiryu's best friend throughout the entire series) and Haruka being introduced. If you really want you can jump to K2 since you reminisce at the start but it's not the same as playing the game.

Four are Amon. Did you do the Haruka one near the Ryugujo? Did you go to the center-right in Sotenbori and meet the other Dojo student? You really should use guides for the Yakuza series, there's just so much nonsense in terms of substories and the older games have tons of missables so there's no shame in it.

Kiwami 1 will just burn you out of Kamurocho, meanwhile Kiwami 2 has a gorgeous Kamurocho that deserves to be explored.

>they're not getting remaster anytime soon.
But they just did? Hell, 5 comes out this month.

To win in the games you don't need to learn the special hands. You just need 4 triplets(either consecutive sequence from the same group or 3 of the same tile) and one pair(same tile) and don't steal tiles until you declare Riichi because your points take a hit.

Discard the Green, Red, or Blank tiles unless you have two of them because there are only 4 of them in the game

Virtual-On is for faggots

I know this isn't real but it still made my cock twitch

Cuck

This. People here kept being aspies "as a joke" and now look. Yea Forums is full of genuine autists.

lol, it really does feel like the kind of shit my autistic ass imagined when I was 14
I guess it's nice that yakuza fans have something to live out those fantasies. though they might want to consider moving on someday. I'd be worried if I was still playing something like this in my 30s

I think you got that backwards. Yea Forums was always full of autists and now it's choke full with normalfags ironically larping as autists

I too get hard at the thought of strong men abusing scared, weak women because I'm so afraid to approach women in real life. It feels good to imagine just taking what I want from them and hurting them.

This
We used to have real Yakuza fans but now normies have come in thanks to 0 and suddenly it's okay to complain about the combat? Suddenly it's okay to not 100% every game in the series? Fuck off tourists.

I'm not sure if I just got burned out but I didn't really care for Kiwami 2 that much overall. Actually I found the plot mostly a step down from 0 and 1. I know 0 came out much later though.

i honestly wish someone would just make a game with a proper ''realistic'' fighting system, the shit that would actually happen irl, nobody fights fair, if one of them manages to grapple you from behind and lock your arms or legs, you're basically dead since the others will jump in on you instantly and beat the living hell out of you.
also especially the fact that people in a group will attack you all at once, not one after another, so it's actually really fucking difficult to try and defend against multiple attacks coming from all sides.

What happened to people just enjoying shit?
You think jumping on turtles was a fantasy for me as a kid I could live out?

but all I care about is feeling cool. I don't want a challenge, I want to feel cool and have lots of imaginary girls designed and written by men to tell me they like me

Why is combat so boring in kiwami2 ?
I cant even finish combos on street mooks

You sound like a woman. You realize the fan base for this game is primarily other women, right?

uhh that's not true Yea Forums told me yakuza was for extremely alpha men
