I want the PS5 version, but also at the same time I can't decide if I care since it's not like I can use my PS4 version save to do NG+ with it

I’m gonna play the entire motherfucker over again. It was good enough and it’s been long enough that I’d like to revisit a shinier version.

I probably will at some point, I was just excited to go back through on Legend difficulty with all my leveled-up jobs and strong gear and was waiting for the PS5 upgrade before I started. This has resulted in me being quite owned, unfortunately.

Is there any place I could buy the Like a Dragon soundtrack? I can't seem to find anything other than the karaoke songs on spotify. I want the whole thing either on a disc or digital mp3s

Fun little thing for you to read about today: Yakuza aesthetic is seeping into whole other possibly inappropriate games with the release of Dead by Daylight's newest chapter "All-Kill," which is also a collaboration with K-Pop group BTS. This is Ji-Woon Hak, who looks a hell of a lot like and has a pretty similar name to Joon-Gi Han, and he likes to use baseball bats and knives to bludgeon and stab people to death. He's a psycho who laughs a lot, especially when pulling out his knife, and he kills you in a spooky overgrown horror Kamurocho. He's basically a Yakuzasona of Majima and Joon-Gi, and I am all for it. DBD has special licensed crossover costumes for some characters (i.e. Legion gets Silent Hill's Robbie the Rabbit) so deep down I'm hoping this dude gets a Majima conversion costume.

I want the whole thing either on a disc or digital mp3s I looked it up on VGMDB and apparently the only available LAD soundtracks available right now are short karaoke discs featuring the hits from the past and LAD itself. No official soundtrack release yet.

Thanks for checking. That sucks. There are a ton of bangers in this game.

Loved LAD, but 80+ hours was good for me. If I were to download the PS5 version it'd be to load up my save, put on the turn-off-random-encounters item and just walk down Osaka a few times, drooling at the restaurants.

I'm playing Yakuza 4, and enjoying it. Except I am annoyed with being Saejima and hiding from the police when I want to move anywhere, or else get an instant game over and reload. Also, is this the one that everyone recommended getting sacred tree armour before the final boss?

Yeah, wow, that's basically Joon-Gi. Whenever he gets close to a player, Theory of Beauty should just start playing.

bro even the trophies are separate for the ps5 LAD upgrade i guess that kinda pairs well with the whole non-transferable save data thing

For the ones where you can import your save it unlocks all the trophies you’ve already done when you do the import, I was sat on the menu screen for the Spider-Man remaster with trophy notifications popping for like 3 minutes.

Luckily, the completion metrics were easy.

I like Shogi actually, the way you can place captured pieces adds a lot of complexity to the chess formula

mahjong has turned out to be super fun, and probably makes me a boomer or whatever, but it seems like it would be a nightmare to play in real life probably weird to say but it has strong poker vibes, just longer and with added twists

I could never play Mahjong in real life because in like every mahjong video game I play I rely hard on like prompts and being able to see the full board at all times perfectly and such. "Hey can I maybe win this round?" mashing square to see if the RIICHI prompt appears.

These are cool as hell, but once you get the hang of it, building a nice neat wall is extremely satisfying. fancy stats fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Mar 3, 2021 |

What purpose does the wall in mahjong actually serve

It's an elaborate anti-cheating mechanism. Alternatively, because it's cool as hell.

So you use it to obscure your hand? What tiles do you use to build it with?

Essentially you set up the wall and East rolls a pair of six-sided dice. Starting from the dealer, count each side of the wall counter-clockwise until you reach that number. Then, from that wall, start counting from the left hand side of that wall until you hit the number again. Make a break, count back 7, make another break. This forms the dead wall, a set of tiles that are never drawn (and also form the dora indicators). Then people start taking tiles from the left of the dead wall, and play starts. Allegedly this is to prevent cheating, because even if you manage to rig the wall partially you have no control over where drawing tiles starts or what the dead wall is.

Iirc in the Mahjong documentary Akagi cheating is integral to the experience however I should learn how to play enough to actually complete a game in Yakuza someday, but the cheating tiles just seem so much easier..

I'm obviously behind everyone else but I finally finished Yakuza 3 Remastered after putting it off for several months and I have...some thoughts! I think the reason I stalled out so much the first time is trying to play it right after Kiwami 2 and Judgement which makes the tech downgrades way more painful. -Okinawa is pretty good? All the little island tourist life touches and subquests and such really set it apart, and if it was slightly bigger and you could actually move around the map more freely a la K2/6 it would be great. I assume it's been memory-holed like the lady cop and Kazama's secret twin, but they should totally bring it back at some point. -The combat is dogshit, even after finding every master and unlocking most of the secret moves. Just dreadful. That one cigarette heat action you can learn from VR Majima is neat though! -I really liked the detective subquest even if it's a little clunky (everything in this game is), it's like a little proof of concept for Judgement. It also had more work put into it than like...several parts of the main plot. -I liked the hitman subquest, though it's weird that the longest subquest in the game revolves around a secret yakuza-retirement organization founded by Kashiwagi in a giant castle that's been in every game but is never used or referenced again before or after. -I liked the orphanage parts, but it's funny how low stakes the Tojo aspect of the plot is. The final boss has a horse tattoo on his back, as if to say 'look, this guy is just a speedbump to Kiryu, let's just wrap this up'. You don't even fight one of the three liutenants! He just vanishes and then awkwardly shows up for a few minutes at the end! You never even see his cool back tattoo! -Speaking of, I haven't played YLAD yet, but I thought it was funny that so much of the plot involves a shady yakuza from Yokohama and his triad connections. I assume literally none of this is ever referenced in the game actually set in Yokohama though.
