The combat in this game seriously makes me wince. Batman would tell these guys to take it down a notch or five.

Lumpy posted:So are there any tips for combat in general? I am getting to what I think is the end of chapter 1, and my current tactic of "mash lots of buttons because I forget what they do" is not particularly effective against Kuze. Maybe I should just switch to easy and enjoy the ride.... For strong single opponents like Kuze, Rush style is your best best. Go for hit-and-run attacks and don't be afraid to get in his face, because Kazuma's basic jabs in Rush mode come out faster than most of Kuze's attacks. Once you get him on the ground, use a Heat attack and back off because he's going to come up swinging.

Is there any way to actually find rental properties, or do you just have to press your face against every building on the street?

HGH posted:You know, this whole "DRAGON OF DOJIMA" title is feeling kinda hollow now considering how much of a wretch Dojima is. Sohei's a prick but the title's more about saying "this stone-faced dude who picks up phones really dramatically is also the biggest rear end-kicker in the entire Dojima crime family" so I'm cool with it.

Lord_Pigeonbane posted:Can somebody please explain the difference between a cabaret and a cabaret club? As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the cabaret has balcony seating, and a bigger back office. It's explained by Odyssey's manager - cabaret clubs are like stripped-down versions of the big cabarets. They charge by the hour and have fewer amenities but still portray themselves as a classy establishment.

The Cabaret Club feels like the sort of thing I'm going to have to space out, it's decent but gets mind-numbing quickly.

Jimbot posted:Any tips on doing the Rush trainer's activity? The camera is in such a lovely spot, Kiryu ends up blocking the opponent and I can't even see if they're attacking or not. You don't have to rely on the dodge technique - for the most part, just running around the arena works a lot better. Always be aware of the distance between you and your opponent so you know whether or not they're going to close the space with their attacks. It's a pain in the rear end regardless.

exploded mummy posted:I did it on my second try. The key is to trigger a level 1 buff and then not really try to save up for anything higher if you can avoid it. As long as a table is in Fever mode, it's immune to the attack. In the time it takes me to build one bar of Fever this rear end in a top hat's maxed out his bar twice over. Am I missing something?

I've only played Yakuza 1 and 2 before this so I forgot how much bloody stamina the plots of these games have, they just keep going but it's not because of filler so much as deliberate and thorough examination of every plot point and outcome. There were a few sequences this one could probably have done without, though. The Bed of Styx and Benten Inn areas were way too weird and just came and went without much in the way of explanation. At least in Yakuza 2's subterranean golden castle I got to punch out a tiger or two.

Snak posted:In my mind, a 'proper' lockon woukd cause my character to turn around and face the enemy I'm locked on to, should they dodge behind me. Not necissarily instantly, but you, know ever. As you can see from my video, locking on does not help help keep me facing the enemy when he moves, only when I move. You don't have the Charismatic Autobiography equipped, do you

yakuza 3 has a lot of gameplay "innovations" that were just puzzling (the emphasis on chase sequences mainly) but the Revelations are some of the most hysterical physical comedy i've seen from games in recent memory

it's a good thing that tiger drop spam is as satisfying as it is effective imagine being some hapless thug who watches his friend charge at this scowling jughead in the maroon shirt, and the guy seems to blur in place for a split-second and suddenly your friend is on the other side of a plate-glass window with all his bones on the outside of his body

i was okay with this orphanage nonsense in y3's early game but did we really need a whole other chapter full of it right at the 3/4's mark i don't even mind these kids all that much, it's just that i've got bigger concerns! bigger and dumber!

Apraxin posted:I found that Kiwami and Y3 both suffered from 80% of the sub stories in both being ‘Kiryu encounters some idiots running a dumb and obvious scam on out-of-towners; a beatdown ensues. The End’. some of the scams in Y3 are so byzantine i'm thinking of the tomoko male-escort one in particular

in yakuza 3, after chapter 11, i feel like the encounter after the orphanage is demolished should have been a bit more violent on kiryu's part because hoo boy did he ever have cause to be angry in that one i've gone through every game in sequential order so far and while kiryu is always down to wreck a fool he's never really gone apeshit on an opponent since Y0's final boss

god almighty, saejima’s portion of yakuza 4 is dull even if you don’t take the twist into account tired of sewers e: tbh i'm skipping a lot of content in this one because it's either unengaging or a retread. no more hostesses, no more arena battles, this dojo thing with saejima feels like a numbing waste of time the multiple-level map is also a pain because the underground is barren and it just makes substories more confusing to access Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Feb 19, 2021 |

having played up to Y4 so far, it has the worst story of the bunch and it's not a particularly close contest. Y2 is way too convoluted and uncomfortably racist at points, Y3's orphanage interludes are contentious, but Y4 is a handful of good moments scattered around in a plot that's barely college-undergrad level. there's classic symptoms of the writer's brain (or writers plural, i don't know how many worked on the script) going "what the gently caress are you doing" mid-writing- characters pointing out how stupid and outlandish plot developments are in-story, crazy plans excused by going "eh it'll work out" and then they do. i like akiyama but way too much hinges on him being the Amazing Impossibly Wealthy Man, he's like a character from a magic-realist novel who got lost and wandered into a crime drama. and that's not even getting into more mundane problems like the weak villains or the herky-jerky pacing - the way it spreads out characters means that, instead of the usual mounting action of the previous games (even 0), you're basically climbing a slippery mountain only to lose your grip and go all the way back down before you reach the top like i said, there were good parts. sugiuchi's sendoff was genuinely affecting even if it had the infamous Rubber Bullets reveal threaded throughout it, akiyama had a lot of screen presence, and while the finale was a disaster i got an actual belly laugh from "everyone go find an rear end to kick". but i think i'll remember it most for its weaker moments, like the plotting problems, the tedium of the underground maps, and loving saito

it doesn't even have anything to do with the rest of saejima's character arc! at no point is his estrangement from women brought up outside that scene. he's even less horny than kiryu, if that's possible
