I want more dance battles so I can flex on all those teenage girls. It's also a crime that other characters aren't able to do the dancing games even in premium adventure mode.  That Akiyama dancing substory was just a big old tease.Namnesor posted:I want Haruka to inherit her adoptive father's legacy and dispense parental justice across Kamurocho

are some of the Y4 substories known to be glitchy? I got to the finale and realized I’ve done enough of them that I might as well try completing them all, but I can’t get some of them to activate even after looking up guides and such

I know I’ve had trouble getting some of Saejima’s to show up even after going to some of them on the map, but I did all of them besides the hostess ones. Iirc the substory markers before initiating a substory being on the map is a remaster thing so that might not always be 100% accurate either. oh, and if you’re in the finale and trying to do Akiyama’s I think like half of them require Hana, which requires you going into bizzaro world from Sky Finance to bring her back

There might have been some crazy logical leaps that happen in Yakuza 4, but I'm right at the end of Part 3 in Yakuza 5 and I still have very little clue what is going on at all. So far, they haven't done much to make anything connect. Also the Osaka detective guy keeps reminding me of Nick Fury. Because it sure as gently caress seems like he's trying to recruit a special team of remarkable people.

It’s probably overall a stronger game for it since it gives Kiryu/Haruka/Shinada’s individual story arcs time to breathe but the end is pretty eh as a result.

I actually feel like it, so far, for me, is weaker than Y4, if only slightly. Since everyone is segmented off in their own towns, we get zero interplay between protagonists, some of the towns just ducking terrible to navigate, a lot of the side content ends up being basically copy/paste busywork with zero depth (chef guy, tourism guy). I feel like Y5 is a loving impressively expansive game, to its detriment. Mild wide, inch deep sort of thing. I’ve only just started Shinada’s part so my opinion could still change but if I were to add it to my ranking based off my experiences so far, it would line up like this: Y0/YK2 >> Y4 > Y5 >> YK1 >>>>>>>>> Y3.

Serious question: do you feel the need to rank all the media you interact with? Not a gotcha or anything but I found that these days we're pretty much conditioned by the Internet to make rankings out of every loving thing and it's a serious detriment to just enjoying things at your own pace. That said 3, 4, 5 have pretty bad, disjointed stories that clearly were changed a lot during the development. What I do love about all of Yakuza games is watching how Kamurocho changes. Like going somewhere in Judgment and remembering there used to be a bar there or something.

I think it comes more naturally to rank installments within a series against each other, but it's a good question and raises a very valid point. e: not least because it brings up the question of what constitutes "a series." I'd be comfortable making a ranking to figure out what I think the best Yakuza is, but not what the best GTA or the best Final Fantasy is, at best I'd tell you the best PS2-era GTA or the best SNES Final Fantasy.

I really liked 5's ending  It's actually my favourite Yakuza game, mostly because i was sold on the characters so much at that point. For me it's 5 > 0 > K2 > 4 > 6 > 3 > k1 but honestly the top three are very neck and neck, and if 3's jank was fixed I'd happily put it above 6.It's pretty cool how everyone's got different rankings, shows there's value in the whole series. Can't say as I have a problem with ranking them either unless you're getting in some shitfit over someone else's opinions, but when would that ever happen on the internet?!?!

For all the poo poo Y3 gets, I'm just starting chapter 6 on my playthrough and I am enjoying it a lot. The jankiness coming from Kiwami 2 is pretty jarring at first, but I've gotten used to it pretty quickly. If this is the worst Yakuza game, we are all pretty spoiled, as it's still a drat good game.

I'm on chapter 5 of Y3 and I agree completely. Having just played 0, K1 and K2 it does take getting used to, and I did drop the difficulty down to easy because I've heard that the combat is tedious due to constant blocking, but I really enjoyed the prologue in Okinawa and what little I've done in Kamurocho so far.

Aren't Kiryu and Majima special summons in Yakuza 7? Do they have spoken lines that might be dubbed in the western release? Is there a chance they might bring Mark Hamil back?

I mean, it’s a bad Yakuza game (at least insofar as the series has come a long way and retroactively purged itself of most of its jank with the Kiwamis) but it’s not the worst thing ever. I’m probably as harsh as I am on it because it just needed a little more effort put into everything to make it on par with 4, maybe even 0/K2. Like, if the story were just brave enough to ditch Kamorocho and scale it’s story back in scope, enemies were easier to avoid, and they didn’t block all day every day it would be pretty drat good. As is, it has enough enjoyable aspects that I won’t just plain question how anyone found enjoyment in it overall (unlike, you know, those madmen that somehow enjoyed their time with 3’s cabaret club, which turned out to be one of those “we took it out because it was real fuckin bad things”) but it really could have used a Kiwami A good poster posted:Aren't Kiryu and Majima special summons in Yakuza 7?

Is there a chance they might bring Mark Hamil back? iirc Hamill’s retired from voice acting aside from uncredited cameos in Star Wars cartoons. I mean I have absolutely no doubt they tried to get him back if they’re casting guys like George Takei, but personally my hopes aren’t super high.

Kinda hating the idea of Majima played by anyone but Hidenari Ugaki, because the dude is just so perfect already. That said, the guy who played him in the movie didn't quite look the part but drat he had the exact right energy and willingness to bounce baseballs off Kiryu's rock hard abs for two entire minutes that the role required

Just beat 4, loved the finale. Kind of dumb plot wise RUBBER BULLETS but how can you not get hyped when all 4 dudes hop out of the helicopter in Reservoir Dogs suits and Akiyama says "Alright, everyone pick an rear end to kick" as you all go into your separate showdowns. This game can definitely hang with Zero and Kiwami 2. Side note, I was having a bit of trouble with Akiyama's Suicidal Running training and questioning whether it was worth it to get the Sacred Tree set for Tanimura and all I can say is yes, yes it was. I was gonna take a break but I had such a good time with this game that I'm going right into 5 and I'm really going to take my time with it. The goal is to have 5 and 6 finished by the time Like a Dragon comes out. From what it sounds like, 5 is going to take me a month on its own...

Now that I've finished 5, I can finally participate in yakuza rankings. I was going to do a breakdown on my feelings for each one, but that got to be long so here is a list. 0 > 1 > 3 > 6 > 2 > 5 > 4 The games between 0 and 5 are very close and I have to rearrange them all the time. I don't think any of the yakuza games are bad. Even the ones lower on my list have sections I liked a lot. My feelings on them just range from 'really loving good' to 'eh'.

I know for sure he was in CW's The Flash, but that was probably because he was playing an older version of a character (The Trickster) that he played back on the 90's Flash and I get the sense he's a sucker for stuff like that.

6 is probably my favorite Yakuza, between the new engine and how pared down it was. Also no enemies with a shitmillion health bars. Yes, there’s not as much content as 0 but what content is there kicks so much rear end.
