Just finished Chapter 12. :rejoice

I think I've done all the side stuff up to this point except for finishing Dragon Kart and getting to Executive Hero in Part-Time Hero. Fantastic game.

To be fair you get a watch you can sell for 1.5 mil at the end of chapter 11, which I didn’t realise til it was too late. I was at a decent enough level in the management mini game that it didn’t take too long to get the 3 mil :lol

I want to get all the steam achievies for some reason but damn the final bonus dungeon requires everyone to be level 99 and the grind is killing me. I'm just grinding xp while working at this point.

This game turned out really great though, best koozer in awhile.

Got to the final chapter last night. Pretty sure I’m gonna have to grind a bit to get the final boss down. Having to grind is the only negative thing in the game. The difficult spike at the the one boss people weee talking about earlier is really big.

Mr. Masochist is great for boss fights. That ass at the end of Chapter 14 that counters every attack can get wrekt.

And you know what's great for non-boss fights?

Usually the only 'git gut' enemies in prior Yakuza games were like the first or second boss, not this :cat

Yes it's the super ultimate final dungeon, basically requires Level 99

Level 70 is more than enough to beat the game + post-game dungeon. But you will get shit on in super final dungeon.

Can't even finish the second stage of Kamurocho dungeon without Kasuga being a hammer guy? :rogan

Whatever, then I'll leave this final grind and go to the final dungeon. Honestly, the last couple of chapters really started to burn me out on the battle system, it's always the same once you fixate your party. :snore But not in a bearable way like prior entries. Also they should've written sidestories for all the characters instead of only Kasuga (outside the bar). Those street dialogues don't cut it.

Why do you need to make Kasuga a Foreman? Just leave him as Hero and be done with it.

You only need Foreman for the ability to break walls, and you don't need to be a Foreman to use it, just switch once to it and switch back

It's the same thing, you need the Foreman ability for that. Just swap Ichiban to Foreman, then swap back, you keep the ability. I don't recall needing the ability at all in the sewers, it just leads to a sidepath most of the time.

Probably will just double dip for the PS5 version if the PC version isn't out by the time I want to play it.


In other Yakuza news, trying out Yakuza 4 remastered on PC (already had the PS4 re-release for 3/4/5) got me back interested in my "can handle one Yakuza game per year" catch up mood. So might start playing Y4 finally. Played through the opening with the first guy.

You know, I was wondering why the hell Sega hasn't brought out the two Japanese period piece Yakuza games Kenzan and Isshin.
At the time they didn't bring them over because Yakuza barely was selling in the west.

But now from what I gather the series does pretty well in the west.
And Ghost of Tsushima just sold a ridiculous amount following Sekiro selling a ton.

And Sega has no issue re-releasing PS3/PS4 Yakuza port-ups as remastered versions.

And they're sitting on two completely never released games (that are actually pretty great) that would easily sell beyond the cost of localization/porting up. Plus they can sell them on PC now.

I wonder if after doing Yakuza 6/Judgment PC they'll do a Kenzan/Isshin remaster double pack and finally bring it over to the west.

If not, they're just fucking dumb. :dead

I got a new hard drive for my PS4 so I'm redownloading my digital games and lo and behold there's Yakuza 0.  I must have gotten it during a PS sale and forgot about it.  I was trying to fight like in Y6 and getting my ass kicked pretty bad, especially by the big wrestler who takes all your cash.  But it's nice to have a "new" Yakuza game to play, especially since I have the day off and it's way too cold out to do anything.

Quick Qs for anyone who beat Y7, please make your answer as spoiler-free as possible.

Chapter 10 spoilers:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
So I just got Joon-gi in my party, and I’m hesitant on how to balance the main story and the substories.

1. I know that you leave Yokohama at some point. Does the game give you the choice of when to leave so you can cleanup any loose substories and mini games? Or does it force you to leave without asking?

2. Nanba hasn’t joined back yet, does he still get XP? Or should I wait until he gets back to do non-story stuff so he doesn’t get too left behind?
[close]

The main story is feeling pretty urgent right now, so it would feel off to do the weird side stuff during that, though I’ll do it if I have to.

If you’re playing on Normal and doing all the substories so you’re not underleveled, then there’s literally nothing hard about these games (not counting shitty mini games) except for the Amon fights. And they’re more bullshit than any real difficulty anyways, so I generally never bother with them. I only ever beat him in Kiwami 2 because you can just chug on items and troll him with extreme heat since you can’t die during it.

Started playing Yakuza Kiwami again after not touching it since December and I was wondering are the sidequests in these games generally good? I haven't been seeking them out. And is anything missable? Last thing I did was rescue the kid from Majima at the batting cages.

The sidequests are great. Don't remember if Y1 had many sidequests.

I think some stuff is generally missable.

Not sure how much they added to Kiwami, but Yakuza 1 has the weakest side quests of the series. They're the best part of the other games.

FYI the PS Store have Kiwami for $5 and Kiwami 2 for $10 for their spring sale.

I already played through Kiwami when it was a PS+ freebie, but I got Kiwami 2.  At the rate I'm getting through 0, I'll get to K2 around Christmastime.  Any time I get to play with it, I waste with Majima playing Outrun, getting drunk on high-end whiskey and playing pool and darts, and looking for random scrubs to beat on with my bat, which might be my favorite fighting style in the series.

I did get a trophy for watching one of the AV girl videos. 

 :exxy

Nice touch they had with the box of kleenex by the TV.  Makes me wonder what people in Kamarucho are doing with all those packages of pocket tissues they're handing out on every block.
