    FINALLY!

    Curse the person who decided to go back to the Yakuza 3 trophy style and require you to complete EVERYTHING. At least the requirements aren't as brutal, I guess, but there's so much more content that it balances that out.

    Great game though. It gets a little confusing at times because of the way the game is structured but once it all comes together, it's pretty awesome. Up there with Yakuza 2 as the best in the series IMO.

    Question about Yakuza 5: Are there any prizes in the new UFO Catcher (the shaft one) that you can only get in that one? Because the one time I had to play it for a Dragon Statue, I'd already gotten one from a Claw catcher. And I may very well nope the fuck out if I have to play that damn machine for an extended period of time.

    There's only one that you have to get from a shaft UFO Catcher, the Hatsune Miku figure, even the dragon will appears in a normal UFO Catcher in one of the arcades.

    Ahh, okay.

    But as I've discovered, Never-fucking-mind. I draw the line at fucking Gunrhein. I don't have time for that floaty bullshit.

    Wait, so is this some expansion lore? Because in Yakuza 1 Majima was trying to kill Kiryu every chance he got.

    I finally started playing Yakuza 5 in earnest over the weekend. I got through Kiryu's section, including all the Komaki fights, the taxi missions, and the races.

    The story is already hilariously convoluted and twisty, and I kind of love it and hate it at the same time? A lot of times the story takes 3 right turns when all it needed to do was take a left, but then the story is so thoroughly dedicated to this brand of drama that it's hard to feel anything but love for it in the end.

    Just got to the first save point in Saejima's story. Looking forward to more!

  • Darth_MogsDarth_Mogs Registered User regular
    Prepare to lose a lot of time if you choose to keep up with Saejima's side stuff like you did with Kiryu's. His side-story is awesome but it is a while before you can get into the meat of it.
    I regret nothing.

    Has the remake for Yakuza 1 been announced for America?

    Has the remake for Yakuza 1 been announced for America?

    Nope. Hopefully they don't skip straight to 6 and it's announced at PSX like Yakuza 5 and 0 before it.

    I'm pretty sure they're going to skip straight to 6. They have limited resources.

    In other good news, the latest version PCSX2 runs my old copies perfectly. No more weird glitches. I bought both Yakuza games localized and used for about $20 bucks at Gamestop. After that, I stopped seeing them even used entirely.

    Haruka, tell daddy who your boyfriend is, so he can put him in traction.

    Apparently a bunch of New Japan Pro Wrestlers are showing up in Yakuza 6.

    I don't have a PS4 but it's certainly tempting now.

    I'll be surprised if Haruto ends up being Haruka's kid in the end.

    That seems to be everyone's guess. For them to really run with that would be incredibly ballsy.

    Look, we have our beat em up simulator extreme edition, and that's great.

    But a cool middle aged dad simulator? We all know that's the real appeal of Yakuza.

    Can't recall any of the cities in any game looking this alive. They all felt like the same city with different streets.

    Hiroshima has layers, and levels.

    I'm a newcomer to the series. Hoping Zero is a good place to start! I mean, it sort of has to be... right?

    It's a prequel, with also the most updated gameplay. It should be fantastic to jump in on Zero.

    Also, note that each numbered entry has 'what happened in the previous games' long cutscenes and synopses you can watch individually by missed game.

    I was put off by how clunky and slow the presentation and UI is in 4 and 5. I'm hoping it's improved in 6, and that we get 6. If it's improved in Zero, that's great, I'll play that. But I doubt it, since Zero uses an improved version of 5's tech.

  • vagrant_windsvagrant_winds Overworked Mysterious Eldritch Horror Hunter XX Registered User regular
    One thing I do like about Zero is that the transition into battles is finally literally seamless and instant.

    Holy shit don't even say things like that.

    If we managed to get all of the story except for the final fucking chapter of Kazuma... I dunno... I'd probably just cry or something.

  • OlivawOlivaw good name, isn't it? the foot of mt fujiRegistered User regular
    I still haven't played 5 because it's download-only on PS3 and by the time it finished downloading Zero will be out already!

    That's some bullshit!

    And why the heck aren't we getting that HD remake of Yakuza 1 anyway!!!
