I sometimes want to pick up 6 for cheap because I want to try minigames like baseball and fishing, but I don't care for more Haruka idol stories nor crippled Kamurocho.

Haruka is barely in the game, and all the stuff removed is useless junk like Bowling. Spearfishing & Clan Creator make up for it. Yakuza 6 is also one of the easiest Plats to get in the game because they eased the fuck up on the requirements.

oh now I remember, Haruka was the no-go for 5, in 6 it's the baby.

Are there any vids with 30+ mins of unedited gameplay of koozer 7 out there? From what I’ve seen, which isn’t more than a couple of random vids, the battles look like a fucking slog to get thru

The baby is a major plot point, but is very much out of the picture. There's one early bit where Kiryu has to find milk and you have to do this silly mini game to calm the baby down, but after that the baby is a non-issue. This game is pretty much Kiyru being an old man beating up people and getting reminded that Kiryu is in fact an old boomer.

Biggest problem with 6 is the new engine. There’s just less of everything

Finished Yakuza 6, just need to play Judgment and then it's finally time to play 7

My updated ranking sans Judgment

4 > 6 > K1 > 0 > K2 > Dead Souls > 5 > 3

Also Akiyama > Majima

Majima becomes too much of a bitch moping around. Akiyama stay slanging cock, with his BBW secretary Hana

Isn't that the whole point?  He's kind of bottom-of-the-barrel, but a good-hearted guy who is going to hit rock bottom and then climb to the top- at least that's what I get from the trailer.

Super long intro to the new game. Takes like 4 hours before I feel they really let you loose. Fun setup so far though, new guy is a real moron but I like him well enough.

Trash, they've now gone full Ubisoft with the quests. In 0 you could spoil side quest locations extremely late game - okay, whatever. In Kiwami 2 they almost forced the sidequest finder on to you, by making it the very first purchasable skill.

As I feared, now all icons are automatically visible with no option to turn it off.  :yuck :yuck :yuck :yuck Best part in older titles was to stumble upon side content while exploring, but now it's just another shitty Ubi/Sony checklist.

Everything else is good so far, except that chapter 4 is like an endless filler episode.

You're an idiot, quest finder is the biggest QoL improvement. Fuck aimlessly wandering around and not triggering something because it's in some pixel speck of the city

Biggest problem with Y6 after the previous titles did it just fine

"Yo we better check out this town, find some info" *actually just hold the stick forward for two minutes like a zombie to reach the magic GPS icon*

What a braindead trend in gaming for absolute morons. Particularly in RPGs, where exploration is supposed to be a major aspect. :goldberg i.e. Square Enix can go fuck itself with this shit too.

God kooza 7 is so good, I doubted the move to turn based but it’s proven me wrong :heh

I’m only on chapter 4 and it’s barely even opened up yet :rejoice

Square should take notes on how to make a turn based battle look good from this for their next final fantasy imo.

If you hate extended parts in JRPGs where you don't have a full party, play the store management minigame until the first checkpoint. You're welcome.

The game is totally complete feeling without any DLC from what I played so far. It's just a couple Kiryu/Majima/etc costumes for the party and an additional two DLC jobs, but the game is definitely not hurting for jobs as is.

It's how you unlock an optional party member and it significantly lowers the grind in chapter 8 since you also get a ton of money for upgrades and stuff.

Another PSA gameplay tip, switching Ichiban to the foreman job unlocks a skill to break down walls and doors that are under construction. You don't even have to unlock the skill, it just unlocks immediately and then you can switch jobs back to whatever. I've found a few secret shops in the open world using the skill and it's how you knock down those walls in the randomly generating sewer dungeons. Also, the shops sell the keys you need to open golden safes.

Just beat it at around ~65 hours. Game was great!! Probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite of these I've played overall (some overly goofy plot beats bringing it down just a tad). Ichiban is awesome, and I enjoyed the combat more than I thought I would. The job system goes a long way. Wonderful atmosphere as always.

Good koozer, and can't wait for the next one.  :)

Chapter 6 of Judgment

So far a pretty middling experience. Lots of CHASE THIS and TAIL THAT and the story is draaaagging right now. Combat is somehow worse than both Yakuza Dragon Engine.
