Boy, this 360 dpad isn't doing me any favors in the Disco minigame.

Are the Pachinko minigames in the later games emulations of real pachinko machines, or are they custom-made for the Yakuza games?

EDIT: Whoops, dumb post, of course 3 came out before 0 or Kiwami.

Man, porting Kiwami 2 to PC would require getting Virtual On and Virtua Fighter 2 to work properly, on top of optimizing the the base game's newer engine. I'm worried that Sega would consider that too expensive to attempt.

Interesting choice to do K2 before 6, it obviously makes the most sense storywise for the new audience on PC but feels like they're going to run the risk of a "it's going backwards in quality gently caress this series!" backlash from people not in the know.

Especially if they put out K2 then fill the gap to 6 with the ports of the PS4 remasters running in the old old engine.

Also where are the remasters sega give us the remasters

Could they get away with making a triple-pack of 3-5 on Steam for $50?

I'm playing Kiwami, and Komaki's making me fight Majima The Mysterious Hannya-Man, but I can't switch from Dragon Style to Rush Style to dodge his combos, I can't use any weapons, and I can't even stop his regen phases. I just finished the Shangri-La fight immediately before this, and this is miserable.

EDIT: Oh yeah, my controller's got a bad LB button. No blocking for me!

I'm in Premium Adventure in Kiwami 1, Majima's at SSS level, and the only Dragon skills I'm missing all require Nishida to email me. Does he just not do that in Premium Adventure?

I played a few hours more last night, started Majima's Pocket Circuit races, and eventually wrapped everything up with him. Now I'm stuck at Haruka's Trust because roulette's a mug's game, and Jo Amon's looking for a fight, but now I think I'm ready to call it done and pre-order Kiwami 2.

There are Virtua Fighter machines right there in the arcades in Kiwami, but Kiryu just won't sit down and play any of them.

I'm wandering around Sotenbori, and a lot of places are moved around. The sign for the acupuncture clinic is in the same spot as it was in 0, but the clinic itself, with the same internal layout, is in another part of town entirely.

The physics weirdness at higher framerates does make the UFO Catcher game harder than it should be, though.

In the PS2 version of Yakuza 1, you didn't see Majima between the meeting in chapter 1 and the fight in the batting cage, right? Were you supposed to believe he would have killed Haruka at that point? Kiwami has a kind of tonal dissonance between all the Majima Everywhere stuff before that, including meeting Goromi at the hostess club, and the encounter where he's kidnapped Haruka.

It was pretty wild having Komaki hit me with Tiger Drops, especially with the game's weird high-framerate physics.

Is that at the very beginning of the game? How do you use the cell phone camera, then?

Oh hey, you just press up on the dpad. Sadly, Majima does not pose for the camera while standing around the construction site.

I got a chuckle when Majima showed up at the Pocket Circuit Stadium and Kiryu was immediately afraid that he would start a knife fight in a room full of children.

Spending time with Yuki is the only reward I need :colbert: For real tho it's wild how the voice acting is doing a great job of making them feel like actual characters with personalities. I can feel the charm working on me.

All the hostesses in 0 are porn stars, aren't they?

EDIT: All but Yuki, apparently.

The Yakuza games on Steam all released for cheap because they were all late ports. If Judgement had a PC version ready to release the same day as the console versions, they would definitely charge full price for it.

Janky, not especially fun to play, and of course, not canon. I'd skip it, especially if you're feeling series fatigue.

Dead Souls is a "just okay" game with terrible controls. If the controls were ever to be fixed in a re-release of some kind, it would be updated to "pretty good".

Dead Souls isn't worth it just for this alone?

I'm nearing the end of the Cabaret Club in Kiwami 2, and it was a wonderful surprise that Majima took over as announcer after Buono got ousted.

I've only played the Yakuza games on PC, so I'm wondering if Kamurocho Hills ever gets finished later in the series. Kiwami 2 made it clear that Majima's guys don't have any real construction skills and are mainly hired based on how well the can beat up land sharks. Does that building remain a skeleton through the Yakuza series and into Judgement?

Are the physics on the PC version of Kiwami 2 still weird? That might affect the darts game a bit.

The prizes in the UFO Catchers seem like they're made of lead. It possibly also results in Kiryu throwing goons farther, so it's really a net positive.

From reading the Steam forum, there'll be characters alive in 7 that we're meant to think are dead in 3-6? That's kind of a nasty side-effect of how these games are being released on PC.

Is there a 60FPS physics quirk in the PC version of Kiwami 2 that makes the goons you throw go twice as far? It's obviously not a bad thing, I'm just wondering.

The PC Gaming Show was where they first announced the ports of 0 and Kiwami. It sure seems the most appropriate place to make more such announcements.
