nah. majima doesn't have a lot of gameplay options, so you end up spamming his only two heat actions over and over through a very simple story.

I'm so bad at remembering and pulling off the high level heat actions. In Kiwami I ended up just using the shoulder dislocation one at every opportunity since it was the only climax one I could reliably do and didn't constantly forget about. It also looks rad.

Yes, it has some much needed closure for Majima's story from 0

The Shame Boy posted:The credits are rolling for Kiwami 2 and WHAT THE gently caress You might as well, it’s a neat little conclusion to Majima’s story arc in 0, and, well, you’re playing 3 next. It’s not the Antichrist of gaming but it’s definitely something to play on Easy even if you like the combat in these games, and it’s generally pretty divorced from much of anything in 1/2 aside from Haruka.

I think i might split the difference and watch a lets play or something, unless this is truely something i want to experience to get the most out of Majima. I'm a little burnt out on the guy after 3 games in a row of him though. What is the big deal about 3 anyway? I know from light thread viewing that people don't like the most because of combat changes or something? Edit: Regarding 2's ending I knew the whole bomb thing woulden't stick because Kiryu is obviously in future games but really? The bomb was a fake all along? Terada was alive and behind the whole thing all along? Everything just kinda felt...slapped together at the end to throw more twists at you after all the "obvious" ones with Ryuji were out of the way. Or maybe they felt there needed tobe more to the whole Jing Weong mafia business. Which weren't very wiped out for a group that was suppose to be wiped out entirely in japan.

Yakuza 3 is a game from 2009 (and Yakuza is rarely on the cutting edge of gameplay design anyway) mostly unchanged and it shows.

the combat is terrible, the main story is kind of a mess even by yakuza standards, and there are tons of incredibly bland substories, some of them available only during very brief windows. however, it is still a yakuza game so it is still pretty decent overall.

Going from Kiwami 2 to this is jarring to say the least. I feel like i had finally gotten used to the engine change from Zero and 1 to 2s Dragon Engine and now it's like i'm playing on an Xbox 360 again. I also went ahead and put the game on Easy as suggested. Although the difficulty has not stopped the bombs this game's opening drops on you.

One strange thing going from Kiwami 2 immediately to Y3 is the abrupt change in pace. You're going to be playing a pretty chill, relaxed game in the beginning of Y3, nothing like the intense tempo of the last chapters of K2. Crack open a cold one, relax and don't forget to enjoy the Okinawa sun

Majima Saga takes like an hour or two, in case you're like me and thought it was a whole 5-6 hour thing.

Im on chapter 12 of y3 and it took getting used to, ive done about 98 of the substories most are pretty boring with a few exceptions, ive only done them because they net a decent amount of xp for upgrades. I dont think it is bad at all after getting re-used to ps3 graphics, after a few upgrades most of the fights arent too difficult. Its only kind of annoying when you catch a boss in an opening and land a couple hits only to be like unflinchable and counter you with some nasty combo. This happens in all the Yakuza games so far though of course Kiryu and Sayama cant just live happily ever after infraboy fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Oct 28, 2020 |

Wait this thread suggested NOT to do Majima saga? If you played 0 it provides closure to that storyline, just put it on easy and get through it.

Yeah for real, it's also got one of the best little boss intro name drop animations in the series. It's not arduous or difficult, it's just a much simpler combat system than 0 cus you only play it for maybe 2 hours tops

You're a big dummy if you don't play Majima saga, it's good. I don't know why anyone would skip it, unless you really hate Majima for some reason. rt4 posted:Majima Saga is short and I cried at the end

Gimped Mad Dog Majima is really not fun to play and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to experience that. The story is great though.

Went back a few pages to see if this was answered but I couldn't find anything: Having just played 0, K, K2, and 3, am I OK to get into Yakuza 7/Like a Dragon? I'm really excited to play it when it comes out but I also don't wanna spoil 4-6 too much for myself. I heard it was kind of a soft reboot of sorts, and that Ichiban and even the setting is largely unrelated, but like... am I gonna visit Kiryu's grave or fight Majima's ghost or whatever? And yeah, Majima's sidestory in Kiwami 2 wasn't super fun to play but it was worth it to get that bit of closure I think.

Supposedly it has no real links to previous stories, allowing PC players to play it without worrying about spoilers

Yeah I will be the Xth person to say Majima Saga is a wonderful resolution to his plot in 0 (imo having played Y0-3 this is still the best part of the series so far) even if the combat is bland. I also liked the ridiculously over the top final boss intro cutscene.

Yeah. Majima saga takes 90 minutes at most. I powered through the entire thing in an evening without breaks. I was expecting something 3-5 hours. It’s 90min at best.

Wow, the people who said Kiwami 2 was a step up from the first weren't kidding. What a gorgeous game. Guess I'll put buying 7 on hold until I've gotten through this one! Kiryu's mouth moves funny though. stev fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Oct 29, 2020 |

From game to game sometimes the facial animations are really loving bad. Yakuza 6 suffers from it too where the head and face are completely frozen and only the lower jaw is moving. It’s incredibly distracting once you notice it.

I’m of the opinion that 3-5 don’t play significantly worse than 0 or Kiwami. 3 had some bullshit blocking enemies but they’re all well worth playing and have not aged poorly at all.

Once you get back to Kamurocho, you could bait setups for Parry or Tiger Drop. After blocking certain Kiryu strings enemies will stick out a limb that you can punish. Depending on the enemy and difficulty you would use different strings, but that really only applies to coliseum bouts anyway. I know I’ve posted this in the thread before when Y3 was fresh in my mind if you want to check the strings. Honestly I found it harder to adjust to Yagami’s style, where blocking is much more important than it is for Kiryu.
