Does Zero keep the ability to avoid literally every random encounter by walking slowly? That made 5 so much less annoying when doing sidequests.

Oxxidation posted:The combat in this game seriously makes me wince. This game feels like Ramses Smuckles the Video Game.  "A gang of delinquents was found severely beaten behind a Don Quijote earlier today. They said they did not wish to press charges on their attacker and instead thanked him for a valuable lesson."

Word to the wise: the game doesn't have a permanent autosave, which I learned the hard way. I lost over 3 hours of progress because despite having continue points for deaths etc, all these autosaves are lost when you quit playing unless you loving manually save your game. In 2017.

It's always safe to assume that you need to manual save with all Japanese games.

I guess it says a lot about Yakuza 0 that despite having to replay a ton of poo poo I'm loving every minute of it. Seriously, this is one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had in ages.

Chexoid posted:How, after 7 yakuza games, there's still a street thug in Japan who will just pick a fight with Kiryu for no reason is beyond me. My personal theory is that challenging Kiryu is like some kind of practical joke for the thugs, Yakuza, and other denizens of Kamurocho. Like everyone got beat up by Kiryu when they were younger and when they get new recruits they're like "hey if you see this dude you should go shake him down it'll be easy!' and they just sit back and laugh.

I really don't know who sees Saejima and decides he's the bum they want to take their aggression out on, though.

Yea he's a complete pushover, his whole tough guy look is just an act to keep out of trouble, go shake him down and you'll look really cool' and then just laughing and laughing as their 'friend' gets picked up and slammed through a lamp post

I think the Artful Dodger does exactly that. I remember him throwing shade on Kiryu to the other protagonists Or it's the Karaoke Girls who tell Stories of a grey suited man singing enka.

They also just might not know what he looks like, despite hearing about him. Kiryu was able to work somewhat anonymously as a taxi driver.

Ok realtalk: is there any other series in videogames that goes into all the heavy poo poo this one does? Like I got to the point where whoremonger helps a victim of buman trafficking and its just like, in this game alone we've dealt with sexual violence in the idol industry, sexual slavery and other poo poo The only one I can even vaguely remember was Watch Dogs, which had you murdering traffickers and Saints Row where you were one

I actually didn't know this was coming out in America until a couple of days ago- I never got into this series much but this seems like as good a starting point as any. Preordered.

I went and preordered the game. Clerk pulled out a sealed, shelf-ready copy (with price tag and all) to verify the data. So close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJHaq_7gFXg Guess I'll just have to loop Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan main theme for the rest of the day.

Just got to Majima's starting chapter (Thank you, street date breaking store!), and as far as I can tell starting sub stories are not marked. They do have markings once you started it, though. Also, even relatively early on there are very aggressive enemies that could stunlock you into submission if you are not paying attention. Triple so if you're in Beast style. If you are in Beast style and near a large pickup, a fight could be over in seconds. Otherwise...pretend I posted that gif of Homer Simpson being beat up by Not-Mike Tyson.

It's been out for two years in Japan so there wasn't likely to be a new patch at launch unless they caught a big gently caress up in the localisation too late. There's always an install on PS4 games but I guess it's quick enough to not be noticeable.

I think getting the poo poo kicked out of you by Kiryu is just a badge of honor for the yakuza It's a badge that literally everyone has at this point but still

So I booted up the game and after some cutscenes and tutorial fights a strange man in a bowler hat taught me how to inject cash into my body to gain martial powers. This is a good video game, I think.
