KingShiro posted:The "Running Girl" job is creepy, and I suck at the handshake events. I did that side job immediately hoping it'd be a parody of the Korean show Running Man. Also handshake events would be less gross if it were other teenagers or younger kids rather than a parade of middle aged men, but I guess that's probably a reflection on the reality?

One day Haruka will realize she could be a pretty good lawyer. Or a chef. Or anything else for that matter.

Running Girl just kinda confused me, really. You jog a couple blocks, the camera is moving around too much for it to be like a low-angle, soft focus Baywatch thing, and you're not even murdered at the end like The Running Man. Like it's in the idol industry so it's clearly some sort of horrible twisted sex thing but I just don't understand it. Are you supposed to imagine she's fleeing from your grabby mitts?

That's one of the things that's kind of eerie about the idol industry. You'd expect a low-angle. Hell, you'd understand the point if there's a low angle. But no. An idol just doing mundane everyday is enough for people, I assume, to get off to. PS: I don't actually know poo poo about what I'm talking about, so don't take my word for it.

Honestly I expected her to want to be a schoolteacher, but afaik there's no yakuza influence in that so it wouldn't have been appropriate for this series.

So while I enjoy that the game lets you play some minigames multiplayer, it's annoying that you can't pick your character. Pool is always Kiryu vs Akiyama, Darts is Haruka vs Kiryu, and Bowling is Saejima vs Shinada. It's kinda a strange decision to make.

A gangstery looking guy deliberately ran into my dad's shoulder and looked at him meaningfully. He took the message that they didn't belong there. lol I love that those random encounters also happen irl but why don't they want foreigners there? wouldn't it be good for business if they go to the hostess clubs and stuff?

Oh dear, that ending though. I didn't like this entry in the series very much, it was way too scattershot, but I'm sure as hell glad I got to play it. I hope Zero doesn't let me down after I bought a PS4 to play it.

I went to Kabukicho, ate at a restaurant and geeked out over being able to navigate relatively easily through the area. Had a couple of maids invite me to bars. I declined, and out of nowhere this 45+ year old white dude appeared and took my invite. "Oh I like to drink!" he said. I think I got out-gooned.

There were some great parts, but the actual game has tons of bizarrely terrible design decisions and the story was of course garbage.

Only a week until Kiwami. It will be good to be back to Kamuro in the present, good old 2005. I will be happy to get back to Kiryu's regular fighting style, the closest style to that in Zero has an annoying delay before the first punch. edit: Reading the website, I guess you can't use that style right away though. Also it says that Majima is related to it somehow. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Jan 14, 2016 |

I picked this up after watching a Let's Play from Super Best Friends. I've tried to get into the series before and really wanted to like it. From what I saw, it looks like something I'm really into. Is there anything I should know before starting? Any tips to getting to the best stuff as soon as possible? Or for maximizing fun?

Don't pick up any sparkly things as Haruka. Donate all those junk weapons to the weapon shop instead of money, because for some insane reason you can't sell weapons.

For some reason I woke up this morning thinking, what do we actually know about Nishiki and Yuri's actions on that fateful day at the beginning of 1? They're gonna reveal/retcon his character like crazy I think, I wonder if they will change it to something like, it was all actually a set-up and he just wanted to kill Dojima and make it look at least somewhat not his fault? Or even possibly deliberately to frame Kiryu for it so he's out of the way? Is there anything that makes that not possible? edit: there's a million other things about the Dojima group of Y1 that don't make much sense anymore, knowing what we now know about them from Zero. I wonder how they'll do it... Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 15, 2016 |

I want to help but don't really understand the question. You think there's an invisible button prompt for triggering the chance to upgrade some of the heat moves? I thought it was just a matter of using them enough because i certainly wasn't hitting any buttons unless prompted to.

I thought it was just a matter of using them enough because i certainly wasn't hitting any buttons unless prompted to. There's a couple upgrades for each character after you break through the level cap that give you X benefit (not flinching from attacks, extra damage, guard break, more HEAT gain) when you hit the next button in a combo (Square or Triangle) with the right timing. What is the right timing?

Just starting the finale, I love how Purgatory and the Coliseum are still around and still kinda lovably stupid as a concept. E: "OK, the only way the plot of this game will make sense is if we all combine our cool guy powers and have a sick helipad battle!" This is the best villain plan. projecthalaxy fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Jan 15, 2016 |

According to this, 6 - will have no load times anywhere - "will not have uncertain hitboxes, but to give you a hint, we have made it so you can't ever put out the same attack motion twice" The first one is probably the result of it being PS4 only this time, but what could that second one mean? edit: I'll believe that they are fundamentally changing combat when I see it, and not before. It could just be some cosmetic thing. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Jan 17, 2016 |

Finished the game and started Premium Adventuring around. I really liked the ending, especially Akiyama apparently becoming King of the Pirates and Haruka appearing out of nowhere, angelically, to see to Kaz. Some of the costumes for Premium Adventure are kinda weird, but I like how you can cosplay all the guys as each other. Is there any point to visiting each other's towns? I mean I guess if you wanted to go sea-fishing with Akiyama or whatever.

Fighting ability scales with self-confidence, just like in real life. Sure, training and experience help a little, but nothing will make you strong like the self assured knowledge that you're the best moneylender or baseball man in the country. edit: When I worked as a baker, I consistently made the prettiest looking cakes, and for this reason just knew I could destroy my coworkers.
