i understand the point of not autosaving and that it is a gameplay feature people like and appreciate. i normally save every few hours.

however, it fuckin sucks when my launch ps4 overheats and i lose all of the progress i made with the karate dude in the beginning of the majima story in yak0. this has happened a few times now

if this game is the one that finally kills my ps4 when it survived control, rdr and avengers i swear to god

koi koi looks more complicated than it is for sure. the actual game is pretty straightforward and imo really fun

there are 12 suits of cards, one for each month. each suit has i think two low-value junk cards, one poetry ribbon card, one special card, and some suits have super special cards. both players are dealt a hand of cards and then a common tableau is dealt out in the middle. starting with the dealer each player alternates putting a card from their hand out. if the card matches the suit of a card in the tableau, you add both to your score pile, otherwise you tack it onto the tableau. then you deal a card from the top, if it matches something you score those two cards, otherwise it goes into the tableau. if you have a scoring set of cards in your score pile, you can either call koi or not. if you dont call koi, round ends and you score points for your score pile, opponent gets nothing. if you call koi the hype music comes in and you keep playing, which gives your opponent a chance to gently caress you by not calling koi, but lets you get more points and get a point multiplier by getting more hands.

common hands:
junk - get ten or more of the junk cards, worth one point for ten cards and ten more for each card past ten
poetry ribbons - get any five poetry ribbons, plus one point for each one past
variety - get any five special cards (ones with birds, deer, boar, etc. on it)

less common but higher scoring hands
three or four lights - get three or more of the super special cards (enormous bird, cherry blossom box, ibis, moon over the hills). if you get three and also the guy walking in the rain, it's rainy three lights and worth more points. get all four and the rain man and it's five lights and worth ten points.
cherry blossom viewing/moon viewing - the sake cup and either the cherry blossom box or the moon over the hills. this hand is easy to get and also worth a lot, so always try to snap up the sake cup (little red cup) whenever you can
boar, deer, butterfly - super uncommon unless someone's not paying attention. always try to get at least one of these three cards to stop your opponent from getting it
red/blue poetry ribbons - probably the easiest less common hand, get three ribbons of matching colors

i try to prioritize getting the sake cup first because the viewing hands are super strong, then the super special cards. after that i look at my hand and see if it's going to be easiest for me to get junk, poetry ribbons, or variety and go for that. if i've got 2+ red/blue ribbon cards or any two of the boar/deer/butterfly with matching cards in the tableau i try for that, otherwise i usually end up shooting for one of the three low-scoring hands. i usually call koi when i get a hand if i've got five or more cards left and don't if i have fewer, unless my opponent has a crazy multiplier going in which case i shut him down ASAP

My parents signed me up for soccer when I was four and I got in a huge screaming match with another kid who had the same name as me about which one was the real kid and who was the liar.

Kiryu thinking: (60 frames per second, huh? Not sure what that means but higher numbers are always better...)

majima's story is the best part of 0 IMO but it's still kind of jarring to go straight from that to kiwami. like you can see why he is the way he is and why he really commits to things, but the obsession with kiryu specifically comes out of nowhere.

I'm interested to see what saejima is like, given that so far it's been all vague mentions as part of majima's story.

Question for Yakuza gamers- I finished 7 a couple weeks ago (first entry into the series), I'm a couple hours into Majima's storyline in 0. What should I know about character progression? Is there any way for me to severely, epically gently caress myself over? What did you guys wish you knew before yous tarted playing?

wow, that sucks. i get voice actors feeling weird about mods that sort of use their voices but this idea that it's going to put them out of business or tarnish their image seems a bit extreme to me. hopefully this is just his way of asking for more money and sega can pay him.

one of the thugs in yakuza 5 says "yo, i'm gonna take your money" in english for some reason and i was so tired tonight that for a second i thought that my brain was automatically translating the japanese so well that i just heard it in english, despite never taking japanese in any capacity.

The bowling mini game is weird because the way to win it is slightly counter-intuitive but once you understand it, it's probably one of the easiest. You just have to know to aim slightly off-center and put a bit of spin on it, and then it's just a timed button press. I expect that pool is secretly the same way and I just can't get the hang of it.

I've beaten every yakuza released so far (except the one released today) but never fought Amon. If I wanted to do it once, which game is the easiest/shortest to do that. Could possibly be the new one...

me, very slowly moving the pieces to exactly where the game tells me to put them: that's right, bitch. i'm a 1st kyu genius. or 10th, whichever one is better.
