Even with the black border round the screen it's ace to be back with Kiryu.

Tried that but no dice.

It does the same thing whether I'm playing on my PC or through the steam link (where I can relax on the sofa with a gamepad like a real Yakuza) so I'm just gonna put up with having my monitor's native 1200x1920 instead of my TVs 1080x1920.

going from 0 as my first game to Kiwami I'm kind of confused as to how and why Majima a pretty layered character just turned into the yakuza version of the joker?

Yeah that seems to be everyone’s reaction (including mine). Apparently his arc makes more sense if you play the games in order of release instead of in-fiction chronology so I’m just gonna strap in and enjoy the ride.

Additionally, majima only had apparently a handful of scenes in the original game, the bulk of his content is added for kiwami (or the remaster, I forget which, kiwami is the only one i played). He’s still a oddball in his original scenes though.

I've only played 0 so there is probably a lot I am missing, but personally I love the idea that Majima is trying to make Kiryu as strong as possible as thanks/payback for protecting Makoto and keeping her alive when he couldn't.

If I remember right, he only starts putting on the crazy voice/weirdo characteristics at the end of 0 to keep Makoto from recognizing him, right?

part of it is that, part of it is that by the end of 0, his entire life has been hosed up for no real good reason that he's going to live and do whatever the gently caress he wants

Pretty much. He decided it would be better for her sake to just let her go. He's a trouble magnet and she deserves a happy ending. This whole plotline gets tied off in Kiwami 2.

the crazy knife man persona was the key to majima's success and the respect of his peers. by kiwami he'd been doing it for close to 20 years and had thoroughly internalized the whole mess.

A recurring theme amongst the people attempting to dampen the hype of other people who were excited for Kiwami was "its not as good as 0 and its more of an expansion than a full blown huge game".

And all of that is true and its still absolutely amazing.

If all else fails, drop the difficulty down to easy, pick brawler style, and spam square 3x > triangle. That combo got me through a lot when I didn't feel like trying hard

This is very true honestly, and in Yakuza 1 yakuza version of the Joker is exactly what is he. He was even voiced by Mark Hamill!

It really isn't that. It's a total remake of the original PS2 game. Which is extremely awesome and is still more content and fun than I've gotten from $60 titles this year.

It just pales in comparison to Zero and Kiwami 2 because holy poo poo those games. I'm having more fun with Kiwami than 4, that's for sure.

Sorry this is happening! For what it's worth it's easy to edit the graphics settings by hand in the ini file, it's stored in c:\Users\YourWindowsUsername\AppData\Roaming\Sega\YakuzaKiwami\graphics.ini

You should be able to change the resolution to whatever you want.

Unfortunately QA and dev haven't been able to reproduce this issue yet, but I'd expect it to be patched before too long.

Brilliant thanks! I was planning to see if I could manually sort it when I got home tonight.

To be honest the game is so great I've been able to completely ignore it. It's running as smooth as anything, and looks gorgeous.

I'm just assuming Majima got into my copy and is trying to get me to toughen up. If the resolution keeps dropping every time I loose to him I'll let you know.

Puyo Puyo made me give up Y6's completion list. It sucked to go on these monster tears of beating 5-6 people after struggling for an hour and hurry back to your list to see that none of them counted as people you needed to beat.

Yeah that's where I'm at. I can get to streaks of 3 wins pretty often and 4 sometimes and was feeling real confident then welp . Good thing puyo is really fun even though I'm bad at it

If it helps, after upgrading a bit use beast style to melt through regular fights on the street, rush against dudes that block a lot, brawler against everything else.

If you are new to Puyo -

Stack the right three columns as fast as you can, all the way to the top, creating groups of three Puyos. When they're full, trigger a grouping near the bottom, which will hopefully cause a chain. Repeat.

Toshihiro Nagoshi was specifically waiting for you to import it before releasing Ishin to the west. Thank you for fulfilling your destiny.

However, I do think they gotta Kiwamize Ishin because people probably can't go back to an early PS4 yakuza game. They gotta have several fighting styles named after sort of realistic sword schools/gun use. maybe even include a picture mode where the game takes your image and turns it into Ukiyo-e.
