That's cool, I get an infinite black screen at the end of the second Makoto escort section in Yakuza 0. Gonna try to reinstall the game and see if that helps. :sigh:

Reinstalling the game worked, I can finally get through the goddamn mission. It's not bugged to go to the infinite loading screen if you finish in Slugger/Legend style, is it?

Anyone have their Y6 game lock up right after completely a stage? I beat a part and where I assume a cutscene would start, the game just went to black. I still have access to the PS4 dashboard but wtf...think I lost a lot of progress.

Not 6, but 0's done that to me. If you have a digital copy, try reinstalling the game?

My victory over Pocket Circuit Fighter in 0 was incredibly anticlimactic because he wiped out really early in the race, before he even finished one lap, and I just cruised through the rest.

Story question about Kiwami: Did they add the scene where you fight a bunch of dudes with Majima and then he gets shot to explain how he is all bandaged when you fight him after he crashes the truck into the soaphouse? I never played the original but it seems like the bandages were originally from him getting stabbed in the batting center fight, but they have to explain it differently in Kiwami because Majima Everywhere means you can encounter him in between. If so then lol

Yeah that's exactly it.


From what I understand, from the batting center to Shangri La, Majima's recuperating in the original. Obviously that doesn't work with the Majima Everywhere system, so Kiwami just has him recover instantly and adds in something to facilitate Majima suddenly showing up bandaged.

I was really into Slugger style when I first got it, but then I found out how much fun Breaker's crowd control was, so I switched to that for my main style. Mad Dog style's good fun too with its hit and run shenanigans.

Going from Kiwami -> 0 just makes their friendship all the more tragic because you know how it all falls out and seeing what they would've done for each other in 0 is just heartwrenching.

Then Nishiki's "Don't cross that line, you'll never come back if you do!" from the ending was just like a kick to the gut.

No. gently caress no. Where did this meme start. There may or may not be a murder Kiryu may or may not have committed but he is very definitely a murderer.

(I just did a Heat move involving (spoiler for :stonk:)kicking a box of nails into a man's mouth and the massive jolt of ludonarrative dissonance has me actually alt-tabbed and walking away for a moment. Not making that up)

It's said in one of the end cutscenes of 6 that Kiryu has straight up never killed anyone and that if he actually did kill anyone, it would be devastating for him and the Tojo, or something.

Onmi posted:

Also learn to use Heat Actions not just as a source of damage, but also as a way to back out of tense situations.

This is super important, especially in Kiwami whenever that comes out. Bosses in Kiwami are miserable and part of that comes from bosses being able to regenerate health twice per battle. The intended counter for that is to use a Kiwami attack, which is a special Heat action, but any old Heat action will take them out of it.

Game has like 17-18 chapters so you're still a ways off. Slugger is slow, but its probably Majima's best style because it hits so hard, it hits a huge range, and he's got so much super armor in it.

Onmi posted:

You know, I can tell why people think Mad Dog is a better style than Dragon of Dojima, because it's a really simple style, with its only real complexity coming from its sole counter move. But once you actually know how to use Dragon, it's so much better, which is basically the Kiryu vs Majima styles down to a T, with the potential exception of Breaker. Thug is no Brawler, Slugger really doesn't feel like it has anything beyond the surface, even its upgrades are almost all focused on unlocking more weapon styles, and Breaker... has a lot of potential combo and unpredictability compared to Rush, but I could just be awful with Rush.

They feel like very linear styles "Do the thing" basically. Whereas beast felt like playing a slightly stripped down Saejima (Who I loved playing as in 4) and Brawler is just Dragon-lite with Dragon already having so much to it.

Rush style kinda sucks in 0, if we're being honest.

I kind of hate that in Kiwami (I forget if it's in 0) you unlock a track editor after completing all the pocket circuit stuff, because that's awesome! All those combinations of parts and you can make any track you want and experiment! But by the time I got there I totally burned out on how you have to do all the previous races with like a single exact setup to actually win.


The telephone club is a little more interesting, you can actually avoid any repeats. How they describe themselves, what they say their job is, and most importantly how their voice sounds, etc. isn't actually random and you can tell which person is on the other end that way and just hang up+wait for another call.

You get it in 0 too when you're all done but you also have to pay for each piece in 0's editor, I believe.

Speaking of Chapter 6/Majima I just got a popup saying that I don't feel a connection with him anymore, and found him just smoking a cig and chilling in the park but not down to fight. I assume I just have to advance the story more?

Yes that is correct. Majima will become available again in Chapter 8, at which point you can get him up another rank before he takes another break for 2 chapters. I highly recommend you go do Komaki's training up to the point where you meet Hannya-Man though, once you hit Chapter 8. That one requires Majima to be actively out and about, so if he's on break, Komaki's training is also halted.

Am I mis-remembering that 6 had auto-save because if I'm not Kiwami 2 goes back to not having it

6 has auto-save. That's kind of disappointing to hear, it was a nice feature.

Perhaps a hamster posted:

Oh hey, so if you're like me and a compulsive saver, apparently the game has a hard limit of 1024 saves, after which you can't create any more new ones. So, if you keep trying to 'create a new save' after that, it will tell you save complete, but won't actually be retrievable.

Good thing my save no. 1024 was right before going home in chapter 6, and I quit the game right after waking up, so it's only a bunch of cutscenes to repeat. Still a good incentive to start saving as a normal, non-ocd person. :downs:

ETA: ah, they're still in the saves folder, just not displayed in-game beyond no.1024. Maybe will work if renamed?

And here I am, discovering that Kiwami PS4 has a save limit of 30. :v:

I've heard this game isn't nearly as long as 0 which is honestly fine by me because I spent 80 hours on that one and I'm ready for that new-engine shine of Kiwami 2

One of their localization guys discussed that for 6 actually. They got a lot of complaints that they translated "aniki" wrong in 0 or Kiwami or something and that they should've just left it as-is, so I think that's where they're going, moving forward.

I think I'm coming up on the Climax to Kiwami 1 and I have three questions...

So Nishiki has a sick sister who needs a heart transplant, Doctor says he needed 30 million to find an Organ dealer, so Nishiki starts presumably paying the Doctor with money his tough gets him. Later on we see that Nishki's tough got 30 million from the doctor who then dips on Nishiki. Is the implied order of events. Doctor owes money to the Yakuza, presumably Kazuma or Nishikis family. Nishiki asks doctor for Heart. Nishiki starts giving doctor 30 million. Doctor pays off his debt to Nishikis tough and runs? Or is it Nishiki asks for Heart, Doctor falls into debt to Nishiki's tough for what ever reason, and uses Nishikis money to pay that off and runs?

Are the Yakuza games always surrounding a mysterious mcguffin like, "The Empty Lot" or "The Ten Billion"?

Is Dragon Style useful? Even midway upgraded it doesn't seem to have much use, because the other styles just do everything better.


1. I think the idea was that the doc was trying to shake Nishiki down for the cash to pay his debts, but Matsushige ended up collecting on that debt so he skipped town to try and hide from whatever might come next.

3. Dragon Style owns, starting from like the Zombie Majima fight, its perfectly usable and only gets better from there.
