If you go down into the Underground Mall near millennium tower, there's like a maintenance corridor that goes down more, his big VR machine is still down there. It's where Akiyama and Tanigawa fought Kiryu in 4.

Giantbomb's (east) quicklook of this was alright. Would have made me want it if I wasn't wanting it already but not until all those 12 deals of christmas sales have come and gone, for the chance of DQHeroes showing up + my account having enough for either fullprice Yak5 or a 40% off deal on a fresh game. Dangit.

There usually is, but is there a recap movie for 4 on this one? I know I should get back into it but I simply don't have the time.

It seems pretty self contained so far. May want to read up on Saejima and Akiyama a bit if you're really concerned, but it's probably not an issue.

Zaggitz posted:Its a nutrient found in strawberries.  Now someone tell me when Hokkaido decided to crossbreed all its deer with velociraptors. I mean yeah a buck in rut will occasionally charge, but holy gently caress I've been deer hunting for a lot of years and never once had one of 'em keep me busy while another was sneaking around to attack from behind. And I think they're working with the blink bears that teleport in whenever there's a big sika melee.

I only just realized I could get new moves from using certain weapons heavy attacks with certain characters. I'm right before the final fight.  Oh well i guess I have easy access to the item fight coliseum tourney, should make it not too bad.

I remembered reading about weapon revelations in an early tutorial but I had no idea how they triggered and honestly kinda forgot about them until now. I'm just starting as Akiyama too so it's not too late for me. oh man kiryu has one for the pliers i'm real bummed i missed that

MrLonghair posted:The deer in the parks where you can buy them crackers to feed? They are like a horde of hungry angry five-year olds who have been told you carry candy. I really think a lot of it is that the way wildlife spawns in the game is...wonky. It seems like there are specific spawn points, and the game doesn't give a poo poo where you are in relation to any of them when it decides whether or not to create new critters there. So a buck that would run away if spawned further away will end up immediately charging you if it spawns right on top of you. In general while I love the Yakuza games it seems like they could use some more interface/usability tweaks. Like the whole hunting/trapping thing is more of a slog than it should be just because of the way the inventory system works. There's no real puzzle/gameplay involved with poo poo like antlers and deer skins not stacking in your inventory since you can just send poo poo to the item box from the field if you're already full. But there's a popup dialogue every loving time it happens, and if you're already full and you take down a bear then that's like four dialogues/fades into and out of the item selection thing every time. Same with resetting traps---you have to gently caress around with sending each animal part to the item box and then select something else to send to free up a space to take the trap into your inventory, and then not mash X again immediately (because you'll jump back from the trap spot) and then mash X after the `Check' indicator comes up, and then select the trap. So it's this fiddly dialogue navigation task every time you want to just take everything and reset the trap which is what you want to do every time anyway. I mean it's not a dealbreaker or anything, but the fact that there's so much poo poo that's obviously very well-thought-out makes the silly intro-to-UI-design mistakes stand out more.

All you really need to know from 4 is that (heavy Yakuza 4 spoilers) the police are behind everything in the game and are evil and corrupt and Saejima is innocent since the bullets he used in the gun were rubber bullets. Arai is an undercover cop, Kido betrays Akiyama and Saejima so he can get access Akiyama's money, Daigo is a loving idiot who betrays Majima over said money and police chief Munakata orchestrated everything out of some kind of weird attempt to enforce a warped kind of justice on Japan. Yusiko, Saejima's sister dies and Akiyama kicks Arai's rear end, Saejima kicks Kido's rear end, Kiryu kicks Daigo's rear end and Tanimura kicks Munakata plus a whole bunch of really goddamn annoying special police forces rear end at the end. The plot of 4 was ridiculously convoluted and dumb, yet really simple when you take out all the fluff.

So, like a poster earlier in the thread, I've thrown a fire extinguisher into a fire trying to get to Yahata. I haven't saved for a little while, and there doesn't seem to be another one in the room. Am I boned? E: Haha, I did a rolling forward leap to the middle of the fire and picked it back up. PROBLEM SOLVED. SpacePig fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Dec 17, 2015 |

Thanks for the translations, but I was more surprised I was expected to know those terms. Ah well. 20 hours into the game and I'm still in chapter 1 with Kiryu.  All I've been doing are side-stories and taxi/racing assignments. This made me laugh. Kiryu slightly leaned back, probably thinking "oooh he doesn't know that was me". I don't think this is spoiler for anything, unless you still haven't played or read up on 2.

SpacePig posted:fire extinguisher troubles I'm sure there's another one in that room because I accidentally threw both into the fire. I'm not a very clever man. Luckily Kiryu's "no-sell everything because I'm super pissed" mode allowed me to get one. Also, this game's loving great.

My Japanese is pretty bad but if I heard him right, wouldn't a better translation (while still being close literally) be "Make sure your face is clean before I break it again"? Randy Mythbuster posted:Man Haruka's section is starting to drag on. I want to bash heads. Getting sick of pretty pretty princess dancing. I'm still at the beginning of Saejima's and it's already "dragging on" and I want to get to pretty princess simulator.

I've only had one WTF moment with the translation, but that was when someone said "GOODO TIMING!" and the translation put it at Perfect timing! The original speech was in English, so why change that? e: Also, I don't know how I'm supposed to handle this Beanball mission considering it's way out of my hitting range. Never mind, I just had to dodge the first one. Josuke Higashikata fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Dec 17, 2015 |
