It's kind of a mixed bag. I love the sheer breadth of the toys you get, but I also feel like I'm made of tissue paper and there don't seem to be a lot of ways to increase my durability, especially against elemental attacks (and I also don't want to take any of the alien powers because I use turrets a lot and don't want them shooting at me.)

I don't know where else to ask this but is Mafia 3 worth twelve bucks? It's on Humble Monthly, I already have Mankind Divided and I have zero interest in God Eater, but I think I heard Mafia 3 was decent maybe?

I'm playing it right now on the Ps4. Now, as everyone has said before, the game is repetitive. The main storyline can be basically broke down to: You go to a new area, there are two sub-bosses, you wreck their business and them go face them. You invade wherever they're bunkered in, and then can choose whether to "recruit" them to your cause or execute them. After you've dealt with both sub-bosses you go after the head honcho of the region.

These tend to have at least some variation, sometimes you gotta steal money, sometimes you're tracking high-value targets to some deal and break it up, sometimes you gotta blow up notable infrastructures, a lot of time you'll be stealing wads of cash and killing Thugs. Lincoln isn't a superhero, so there's a lot of stealth involved and carefully picking your targets and only engaging openly when you have a clear advantage.

Now, if that hasn't turned you away, the game just overflows with style. The soundtrack selection is spectacular, the cars are great and they don't shy for a single second that being a black person in 1968 was an absolute hell, which gets turned around into a very cathartic feeling when you're decimating racists. The very first group you go after is the Dixie Mob, which is essentially a hillbilly gang, and now I have the option of pursuing someone who takes part of a group called The Southern Union, which is probably something like the KKK.

And even as you do menial tasks for your captains, there is a feeling of growth. You get higher revenues from your business, upgrades, status bonuses, favors, new abilities, everything to help you go after even more of those bastards.

I wouldn't say this game is for everyone, but if you enjoyed the likes of The Godfather game on the Ps2/Wii or taking over neighborhoods in the Saint's Row series, the repetitiveness might not be such a letdown and everything else more than makes up for it.

Of course, I'd recommend other open-world sandbox games, like Watch_Dogs2 or Sleeping Dogs instead of this, but if you've already gone through all the great ones, this is still good.

Just finished chapter 5 (I think) of Yakuza 0

Is it bad I find Majima more interesting the Kiryu? It might be because I haven't seen stoneface in awhile but Majima seems way more fun.

Storywise, Kiryu's main plot is pretty boring until (Late game spoilers)it crosses over with Majima's.

Sidestorywise, they're both great. Kiryu is this naive man who's also a titan and Majima just doesn't give a poo poo(But actually does)

I have a question for those who've played Yakuza 0

I'm really not getting the money battle thing with the real estate minigame. I don't get any alerts that it's happening (that I'm aware of) and whenever I buy a property it's instantly taken away by [LEISURE KING] and I'm not sure how to stop it. It's kinda making me want to ignore it all together because I dumped 18M into a place, literally took 5 steps and it was gone and it wants 25M to get it back because I lost a battle that I had no idea even existed.

Are you sure it's a Money Battle and not a direct attack on your properties? Money Battles happen when you're investing in a property, back at the HQ, and the King intervenes and you have to button mash to invest money faster than them to keep your properties. Direct attacks(I forgot what they're called) are when a King's lackeys are squatting somewhere near your area and you gotta go there and beat them or they'll mess with your stuff. I don't know if they can take your properties because I never let them stay for long, but that's probably what's happening with you.

Yeah, game flipped me back to Majima so will be awhile before I could do it again but I'd go to the office and select the property. Would then choose to collect and would watch the red bar drain. Would tell me collection complete or whatever then instantly kick me to a "you lose" screen with nothing going on. No button mashing or anything.

Yea, that's a Money Battle and you gotta mash X or some other button to keep funneling money into the property while the manager you assigned to that region and the King battle. It's actually supposed to be good when that happens because it's almost impossible to lose and you get a free 1% of their region or so when you win.

Here's how it's supposed to happen:

I'm not sure if I should post this in the Yakuza thread or if here's a good place but I (think) I'm at the tail end of 0's main plot. Least it feels that way.
I'm really digging the story and systems and someone said after this I should move onto Kiwami.
I know it's a remake of the first game but I wanted to know if it has just as much content or if I should expect a worse story or anything. I already know I'm losing out on Majima being playable (boo) but if it's still just as fun then I think I'll survive.

I haven't moved on to Kiwami yet, but the main opinion is that it's pretty much like an Epilogue to 0 at this point. Much shorter, not as many activities/sidestories. But it's still Yakuza, and popular opinion is that Kiwami 2 is when they really hit it out of the park, so I'd say to go ahead(I know I am going).

Megaman 1 is straight up garbage. Start with 2 and stop when it stops being fun, then jump to X.

I'm biased for Sonic because it was my first videogame, but I'd say try 1, if it doesn't click with you, skip to 2 then 3&Knuckles.

I tried DQ5 a long time ago and really liked the way your journey took years, but I also never got very far.

Castlevania 4 and Rondo of Blood get highly talked, but I like it better post-SotN so I can't opine.

Does difficulty effect score in the Yakuza 0 disco minigame

"fighting" Media King and getting flustered because I feel like I do a good job, then he beats me by 500 points. Finally I nearly perfect the song and he somehow has like 1000 more then he's ever gotten before and I don't know what the gently caress.

I don't want to lose this one because the grind is already real and garbage enough.

E: Beat him after a shocking number of attempt. Man that soured me.

The only Kings I lost to where the Electronics King, because it's loving impossible and the Media King, because I had no idea how Disco worked before that. I think I upped the difficulty and then somehow beat him? That whole thing was pretty weird.

Nope, actual good movie. They don't waste any time with exposition or pointless bullshit either, it begins months after the first attacks so the main characters already know how to act - 90% of the movie is in sign language - and are just trying to survive. No gore or any kind of edgyness that plagues horror movies, just really loving tense.
