Emm, cracker is arrested. Haven't you heard?

Buy it, its a good game.

>Chatting to gamesindustry.biz, Sega Europe's executive vice president of publishing reckons Yakuza 0's commitment to its original vision is responsible for its success. Languid conversations, weird minigames, and a "world where the sublime meets the ridiculous and the ridiculous is sublime", and all.

>"From my experience of Japan as a market, what we see is something that to us is very traditional publishing and development: Single player, story-led, sequel, sequel, sequel," Clark tells GI.biz. "And it's something that works in Japan. What's happening here is that the Yakuza franchise is being brought to the West and it's not being changed for the Western market, in terms of the gameplay.

>"We're not turning every Yakuza title into an open-world Yakuza game. That's not what's happening. We're representing the Japanese IP, the Japanese road map, the Japanese content to the relevant audience within the West. And whether there's a need to change that or not, I don't know. But it seems to be successful and it seems to be working."

At least some executives aren't too retarded.

>>15235507

What if this whole Denuvo thing was a set up from the beginning to have SEGA take the fall in US with ports to PC which would in turn cause the PC market to hate SEGA and push out one of the only massive Japanese non-SJW game companies left? I would be interested to know who was actually behind the decision to utilize Denuvo.

>>15235543

literally reported for being a reddit shitposter

>>15235532

denuvo has a minuscule impact on sales, meme games and good games sell well most of all.

>>15235532

We just need to stop hating denuvo, its not like its a spyware that kills your computer or something.

>>15235497

>>15235563

I don't think we should stop hating denuvo, I think we should figure out who at Sega made the decision to include Denuvo. Denuvo did 100% kill SSDs in its Lords of the Fallen iteration, why a company would shoot themselves in the foot on purpose by using it is what needs to be questioned.

I don't know if the original was ever archived, but it appears to be gone or the link broken. I want to see some evidence of increased writes of an extraordinary degree as this would be a likely culprit for SSD failure. The guy that claims to have talked to tech support merely claimed it, also providing no tangible proof.

Like I said, I'm 100% ready to believe you, but if you can't prove it you're going to need to fall back to truthful arguments.

PC BEGGING RACE

I never played Yakuza or watched anything about it.

What I know is people keep posting that it's 'like a Japanese GTA'.

So, how much of a sandbox is it?

Is there any replay value?

>>15237498

Its a 3d streets of rage with a little bit of godhand and tons of minigames.

>Is there any replay value?

0 is pretty replayable, there's arena and challenge missions for main gameplay stuff. And tons of self-contained minigames. Kiwami feels more like an addon to 0.

But then when i completed 6 i got burned out on the series, and i can't really view that game as replayable title.

>>15237498

It's not like GTA, it's more like a spiritual successor to Shenmue, but with more arcadey combat with bombastic special moves. There's minigames galore and a shitton of sidequests, with various tones to them. Some are serious, some hit you right in the feels, some are absurd and/or hilarious, while some are a rollercoaster of emotions. The only replay value is if you want to complete the game again in Legend difficulty or if you want to go back to it. Personally, I never replayed a Yakuza game until 2 or 3 years have past since I have last played it and I usually play the game again on legend right after beating it for the first time while just breezing through the story with my NG+ save. This however is impossible in 0 (you have to start from scratch) so I'm waiting for enough time to pass so I feel like playing 0 again.

You'll get your money's worth I reckon. I'm kind of a completionist so I always clock in 60-100 hours into each game, and that's just the first playthrough.

Also, like >>15237513 said, Kiwami is more like an expansion to 0 and not really a replacement for the original game since a lot of the new content in it that wasn't in the original directly references 0, the combat is also rebalanced, which is why you always play 0 before Kiwami and not the other way around. There's also way less content too, it took me about 45 hours to beat the game and do all the side content that I didn't feel like doing during my standard playthrough in premium adventure, which is kind of a post-game freeroam.

Just a friendly tip; the reward for doing kiryu's real estate minigame is neat but if you don't want to do the grind, don't worry about it. Majima's on the other hand is worth the grind.

>>15237548

Another protip when it comes to Kiryu's real estate sidestory: Go to the shrine and trade that CP in it makes sense in context I fucking swear for upgrades to collection times so you can get your cash much faster and lessen the grind.

>>15237575

don't worry about it, hundreds of thousands of others will support it for you.

>>15237537

>>15237513

Thanks man.

At least I know what I'm getting into.

>>15237589

No problem, if you get stuck with something or need help you can feel free to ask, there's bound to be somewhere who can help you… except for Shogi, Mahjong and Koi-Koi, those minigames you'll pretty much have to learn legitimately by watching online tutorials, though Shogi can be cheesed, but only when playing on a low difficulty.

Denuvo shills in full force ITT

Never pay for invasive DRM

Don't let it run on your computer

Never forget securom

Never forget Denuvo is made by the same people

Denuvo has been removed before, and will be removed again

Don't sacrifice your freedom any more than you already have

Don't buy Denuvo games

>>15237631

I already own game on ps4 so i don't plan to actually play it on pc with denuvo, but you know, yakuza is so good its worth it.

Your comment reminds me of open source and closed source software arguments. Like if even installing proprietary means you're restricting your freedoms.

Nothing is actually restricting your freedom.

>>15237644

yeah I used to be that much of a sperg when I was 16, crying about micro$oft with the dollar sign and all. That was 10 years ago and even I realize how much of a faggot I was then. The atmosphere was quite a bit different too and things weren't nearly as compromised as they are today, but with the final frontier being a video game copy protection something tells me that things have gotten a bit irredeemably fucking gay.

>>15237644

You are restricting your freedom when using DRM. Steam won't let you go in "offline mode" without first CONNECTING ONLINE. How the hell am I supposed to play games with my shit-tier ISP who drops service randomly? You do not own the games you pay for, you aren't allowed to play unless the server says it's OK.

Beyond that, Denuvo stays installed even after uninstalling the game, doing who-knows-what on your computer. By agreeing to their EULA, you are giving them free reign to do whatever they want on your computer. For all intents and purposes, this is a virus.

No game is "worth" selling buying away your rights, Denuvo cannot be trusted any more than a random .exe downloaded from a sketchy website. I love Yakuza as well, but nothing is worth Securom 2.

It's funny, xbone at E3 was received poorly since they were pushing always-online constant sign-ins. And somehow, everyone forgot this was already happening on PC, and didn't blink when it got worse. Forcing shit on consumers should never be tolerated, regardless of what it's claiming to prevent.

>>15237714

most PC gamers install steam on their personal computers and defend it as well as other content aggregate software. beyond salvation.

so naturally theyre a natural target for something like denuvo.

People are fighting to waste their lives simulating some degree of the freedom long since robbed from them and they argue amongst themselves about where to make lines in the sand about the checks their masters put on their panem et circenses.

>>15237739

Denuvo is newer, and can be rejected with enough effort. Nothing is set in stone, Valve will eventually go out of business and every Steam user will lose access to their games.

>>15237739

The DRM-free qualifications set by GOG are more than enough, and many publishers have put their games on the service. GOG itself is far from perfect, but they set a good example, which others can follow.

>>15237763

>Denuvo is newer, and can be rejected with enough effort

im just saying, the people who install steam and think "i like this. this is good. im ok with giving them money. i wish they had soy on the steam sale" (and theres plenty of these faggots invading my hobby) and they are the same people that are perfectly ok with shit like denuvo.

>>15237778

serves you right for giving denuvo/valve money. i hope they refuse your request for a refund.

>>15237750

No shit, that should give you a clue I'm not trying to sound smart, don't project your insecurities about your intellect onto my words, just be thankful you learned something.

>>15237763

>GOG is a hackjob shit site and run by shitters.

Yes, but they're shitting in the right direction. GOG isn't the answer, but it's an improvement over Steam.

>>15237807

i said "i think" because i don't know if anyone is going to crack the game.

>>15237817

There's more Slavs willing to crack games than there are stars in the universe.

>>15237813

>GOG isn't the answer, but it's an improvement over Steam.

the answer is already here.

just install the game to your local machine. if they dont offer a physical copy, or if it requires signing into an account, or if it requires you to be online… just dont buy it.

>>15235497

Realistically speaking, someone will probably step up and start cracking games in his stead. Someone already from the scene, for sure. It'll take months though, not weeks. The scene's Denuvo antics has been dead since Far Cry.

>>15237828

i hope that's true, cause then shenmue 1&2 will be cracked too. thinking about what i should spend my refund money on.

The downfall of physical media works to the consumer's merit. A disc does nothing but hold the files which can be distributed in any way. The disc itself costs pennies, yet companies sold each for $60. Copying to a disc is no different from copying to your hard drive, it only bypasses stores like Gamestop, or scalpers selling rarer games for exorbitant prices. Downloading isn't necessarily nice or fun (especially on bad internet in my case), but the things it prevents justify it.

>>15237644

>>15237681

Freedoms that you don't use are still freedoms and are still being restricted with proprietary software. Just because you got over a "teenager phase" doesn't mean the points you used to obsess over don't still stand.

Either way, throwing away all your battles because "I GOT OVER ITTT!" is inane. Denuvo is a much smaller degree fight than Microsoft, more focused and has more support. If you're that much into giving up, just surrender your land to immigrants and live in the dirt.

>>15237883

Pretty much, but our hebraic friends will always find ways to fuck us over in the worst ways possible, like now that digital distribution is supplanting physical media we get that cancer of games "as a service" and not a thing you actually own once you download it onto your hdd.

Why do people like these weebcuck moviegames with their shitty, repetitive gameplay, again?

>>15237881

>>15237856

game feels

>>15237883

youre wrong in so many ways. buying the game on disk means in a nice little box with pretty pictures on it means you have the game. you can install it on any PC for any amount of years and can install it on as many PCs as you want.

buying a digital copy from a content aggregate means your entire library is wiped at the company you bought it froms discretion.

no matter what happens, my copy of postal 2, painkiller, doom, starcraft, quake, quake 2, sim city 2000, lego island, etc that i bought 10-20 years ago still work. and i can still install them and play them without any access to the internet.

>>15237889

It seems there's no good way around it, outside a strict set of qualifications that prevent distributing as a service.

>>15237892

Because there's a variety of unique missions, complete with side activities, minigames, and even entire arcade games included in the game. It's a case of "more than the sum of its parts", the little things make it special.

>>15237892

Fuck off goon.

Sega killed the series with 6 and made it worse by the fact they're censoring rereleases for no reason. While the Fist of the North Star game is getting uncensored for the western release. What's the mindset here?!

>>15237892

>3d beatemup with character progression/leveling and 20+ fully fleshed out minigames and side missions

>repetitive

how?

small, but detailed/believable world. fun combat with alot of variety and plenty of ways to test/push that combat difficulty/skill.

tons of fully fleshed out minigames that often affect the main world and unlock things in the main game.

none of it really feels disconnected either. for example even when you go into an arcade and it feels like it loads a rom of outrun or virtua fighter 5 or whatever, when you leave the "rom" and go back to yakuza, some nip is in the arcade noticing your skills and challenges you to beat their high scores. in successive missions of higher and higher scores eventually unlocking a new arcade cabinet.

even the slot car racing has a mission with increasing difficulty that goes with it. competing in races, buying better parts, facing harder opponents, getting the announcers life together, and eventually beating him. it even has a custom track creator. or just compete in the harder tournaments until

2 different types of rhythm games, the dancing one has its own story sidequest of challengers.

dating quests lead to unlocking softcore porn videos, dating quests are taking girls to places to play minigames together like dancing or karaoke. i dont know many other games that connect all this stuff together.

its fun

>>15237949

what was wrong with 6?

>>15237949

>they're censoring rereleases for no reason.

The fuck are you talking about?

They're re-realising 3 without hacking a third of the game like the original release.

>>15237949

When it comes to Fist of the North Star, I think it's really frowned upon to show stuff like decapitations and gore in Japan which is why it always has to be implied like in the anime, but it's no problem to show that stuff in the Western release.

>>15237953

Doesn't have enough content, isn't a satisfying conclusion to Kiryu's story, and has Haruka shack up with some chink because he was nice to her.

>>15237955

They're censoring the game for certain content like smoking. They fucking removed Kiryu's cigarette on the cover for the new version.

>>15237817

Try verifying the game cache. New releases are difficult to download from steam as they are being downloaded by thousands.

>>15237960

Nips suddenly decided that outdoor smoking is bad. So far the only thing censored is the cover, hell they even showed the cigarette heat action in the rerelease trailer. The only thing they censored that we know of is the fag in the cover, it's really perplexing as to why.

>>15237970

The fact they're censoring that makes me worry they'll censor much more for no reason. In a series that relies on heavy drama and brutal action, you can't pull the punches or suddenly decide smoking is too immoral for your game. This is coming from someone who hates smokers irl.

>>15237949

>While the Fist of the North Star game is getting uncensored for the western release.

It was censored in Japan because of CERO (the rating board) that prevents any high level of violence unless it gets a Z rating, which japanese devs likely try to avoid (because a Z-rated game cant be bought without a credit card)

>>15237955

>The fuck are you talking about?

>They're re-realising 3 without hacking a third of the game like the original release.

From what I recall the cover has the smoking censored because of recent anti-smoking campaigns in Japan, dunno if the game itself is affected

>>15237988

Wouldn't most people in the modern age use credit or debit cards though?

>>15237979

I know what you mean man, it'd be stupid to suddenly go all hackjob on it. The series director or creator or whointhefuckever did say that the rereleases are primarily for western audiences, many of which were introduced to the series with 0, so that they can have Kiryu's complete story on PS4. It would be ironic if the worldwide rerelease of 3 is the one who has no cut content or censorship in the end.

>>15237957

the content was pretty consistent with other yakuza games. they just removed alot of the smaller chance based/gambling minigames.

>the story

yakuza sidequests are where all the story is. oh no! michi was best story arc. I also like the part where kiryu throws a campaign-trump-tier insult at iwami. great stuff.

>>15237994

Japanese folks prefer to use cash in general, hence why japanese devs (save for the VN ones) dont want their games to be labelled a Z rating because it kills profits.

>>15238000

>yakuza sidequests are where all the story is

Yeah but 6 had quite a low number of substories compared to the previous ones, most likely because they all had to be voiced.

I agree, Onomichio sidestories were great, it's in my favorites along with ones like Fake Kiryu, White Lie and Suicidal Debt.

>>15237960

>>15237988

It's still in the game

Nips are fucking retarded and went full Americuck with smoking.

>>15238025

In dire need of an Aniki edit honestly

>>15238014

did it really have less? i feel like each substory had more follow up missions, while previous yakuzas had more one and done sub story missions.

watching kiryu have a heart to heart with a random little girl about life threatening surgeries while wearing the onomichio mask was great.

the fishing shop girl was qtest girl in game

>>15235497

>Buy it

No. All Sega had to do was not tack on denuvo and they couldn't even manage that. They had such an easy fucking set-up to just print money for the low effort of creating decent ports of already existing games and they just had to fuck it up.

They had a chance to actually be a decent publisher, but greed won over in the end. Too bad.

>>15238036

Yes, even the original had more.

As predicted the pc release upgraded us from the one or two beggars to entire threads cryin about the port and not talking about the game. Oh well. Probably the best crime drama ever in a game too.

>>15238074

>bad port happens for great games

>people are understandably pissed they're getting a broken experience on a pc format

<"gee why are people talking about the port?!"

Really gets the noggin joggin.

>>15238074

Seeing more complaints that the port doesn't run, and that Sega slapped Denuvo on it than anything else. Both of these complaints are valid. Wanting a game on a system that doesn't hold your internet ransom is the opposite of cuckery.

tl;dr:

Remember that cringy letter to sega back in april bitching about denvuo as if it would fix anything? Mark and his band of goons can throw their feces like manchildren, im just glad we got Yakuza finally on PC and the port being pretty damn good save the removal of Japanese songs but apparently theres a workaround for this. Kizyua and Goro are pretty cool dudes, I can see why everyone likes them. Combat is a bit repetitive, but I hope unlocking more moves will fix that right up. So far I'm really enjoying the game, can't wait for the remake to hit steam and others to come.

that'll destroy the SSD regardless of denuvo.

I don't think it's a clean up job. Considering the number of other lies surrounding denuvo like how it prevents modding (it doesn't: https://gamebanana.com/games/6045) I think it's just users with poor system management miscrediting their supposed hardware failure at a popular boogeyman.

The only thing I've ever seen substantiated with uncracked/cracked comparisons is performance, which gives a decent boost. Seems like the CPU is being taxed more with denuvo decryption, which once that's taken care of it is no longer draining resources resulting in a slightly improved FPS.

>>15242772

>>15242260

Man this is pretty goddamn gay. I'm going with my original bet: it'll take months to be cracked. Until then all I have to tell you guys is Makoto gets shot and survives, Tachibana gets tortured to death and Shibusawa framed Kiryu.

>>15242795

>Considering the number of other lies surrounding denuvo like how it prevents modding

It would prevent modding the executable directly (or make it much harder) which is admittedly rarely needed.

make sure you stay away from RPG garbage like devil may cry, super metroid, cave story, mount and blade, nier, or dynasty warriors. all that complicated shit just gets in the way of just picking up a game and going bing bing wahoo.

>>15242795

I would believe the same, but the original story about Denuvo over working SSDs originally came from a high profile Russian cracker. Obviously he knew what he was doing. As I stated earlier website took down the original posting the guy made, coincidentally. https://archive.is/ErfyR

oh stop being so spoiled. do you honestly think paying money for a game somehow earns you the right to play it whenever you want? grow up grandpa

>>15242795

I'm waiting for the loli models anon, not the crack. Since I'm not planning on replaying the game for months if not a year or so. I need my delicious Haruka as soon as possible though.

>>15243271

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting

>>15243789

that's a phrase I haven't heard in a while

I just now remembered the game should already be out on PC. Had completely forgotten about it. Too bad there is still no crack, because of Voksi getting caught like retard. Oh well, whatever. I will be waiting, I have other things to do and play anyway.

Btw is Yakuza 0 a good place to start off the series?

This.

Also, sometimes when you clash and you're supposed to mash, the game outright refuses to let you win the mashing contest, I tested that out with a turbo controller.

Denuvo is so shitty it cracks itself.

>>15251165

There is a massive influx of subhuman cuckchanners. We might have to migrate soon if this shit continues for any longer

>>15252623

Why does this get asked so much? It's not like this is one of those series with a bunch of canon side games. You have 6 main series games numbered plain as day, a prequel, and remakes of the first 2 games. Figure it out on your own, you mongoloid

>>15235497

So? How new are you? It will get cracked eventually, just like every other game.

>>15252623

God I haven't seen him since the automata bug fix mod thing that actively disabled pirated copies of the game.

He is. Even making up lies about Denuvo to defend it. "Sonic Mania Plus works fine"

>>15241304

Like when you have a dick in every hole and one in each hand? That's. metaphorically what you're getting with Denuvo.

Don't be a low attention-span mutt. Have a little patience and you will see it eventually becoming available for pirate. Just play anything else instead in the mean time.

>>15235515

YES

Problem?

So what's everyone's favorite substory? So far, I've liked the little girl with the crane machine and her mom, the police man,

>>15260231

That's a good one although it felt a little odd that you hire her mom for your cabaret club. Mom's cute in that plain jane way but still. I really enjoyed the miracle johnson ones because I'm a big fan of MJ and Sega, so seeing the two converge in a way that hasn't really been a talking point since Sonic 3 was a lot of fun.

>>15260143

They're just baiting, don't bother replying.

>>15236574

Ya know, some people don't come over here from shit holes infested with dirty cunts and actually try to discuss the games that the thread is about, versus looking for loli porn and '(you)'s.

Learn how to play video games and not just complain about how the mean woman wouldn't make you tendies.

The port really brought the shitters out of the wood work. Big mistake.

Just finished the first one on PS2. Majima is thus far the most annoying boss in the fucking universe.

>>15264272

The moment you dive into the cabaret game, that's a whole 20+ hours off your life without you progressing the story a single bit. This shit is like crack with customizable asian sluts you can take on dates while getting insane cash INSANE CASH I MEAN LITERAL BILLIONS HERE

>>15264293

I wanna get all those platinum customizable asian sluts. I modified the first one with a lot of leftover cash from all of those annoying ass street fights, got her real pretty, got "cute" and "beauty" up, played one night, and left it at that.

How long til you're getting billions from this?

>>15264293

Also I found the cabaret minigame more difficult than others, its a real steep learning curve on getting jap dudes drunk apparently

>>15264301

You get most of the money from beating the other clubs. Beating the last one gets you something crazy like 10 billion. I ended up having to send Kiryu money because Majima's skills are all much cheaper, so I was left with a lot of leftover money I didn't need and I didn't particularly feel like investing in the legend styles either.

>>15264272

Ditto. It's been on my list to emulate the originals on ps2 but this is nice.

Holy fuck I love the game. It's like, it's a callback to before 07, its fun, full of content, and has an entertaining story.

The substories are pretty cool, didn't expect the roller-coaster that some of them are where it's all chill and then someones opening up about somebody else dying. Like wtf, I just gave you a damn candy, not trying to be a therapist. but I like it

whats with the bloody static noises on the pc port of 0?

>>15269270

The idiots are always lurking. Sitting around thinking

>I'm not retarded like those sheep

Until they do this, and then they're too stupid to see. But, most of it is still just bait. I believe there's some some genuine shills, sure, though most are just retards who realize they can use their own stupidity to get under our skin. Let them waste their money. When the crack comes and we can get a more functional version of the game for free, they'll hopefully see the error of their ways.

>>15269463

I think it's more of a case of instant gratification manchild syndrome, people just can't wait they need it annd they need it now when there always is a mountain of older games to play while waiting.

To be fair if it wasn't for denuvo wrecking people's SSDs I would've already paid for the game.

crack fucking when

>>15273593

denuvo doesn't do anything to SSDs and that was a rumor started on ea support forums instead of anything concrete like observing read/write counts. you basically fell for a meme.

>>15269437

its an awful port, what else did you expect?

>>15285240

I think the engine wasn't meant for PC at all and they pushed it too hard by adding all the customization options. From what I've seen it's not a bad port, but it is rushed and could've benefitted from an extra month in the oven.

Hopefully this means the eventual Kiwami release will be better on release.

WHEN'S CRACK

>>15285213

>>15286030

>>15285254

It might be better if the game gets patched before it gets cracked so far lots of people have been having problems, The game crashed about 7 times for me over the 60 it took for me to I beat it. But i'm trying out the beta patch they put out right now and so far so good.

When this patch get's green lighted it should be much better for everyone.

>>15236574

what happened to his gook cop gf from Yakuza 2?

>>15286159

Kiryu got cucked by the writers, so Kaoru showed up in the very beginning of 3 saying that she is going to the US for training and that's the last time she is ever even mentioned in the series. Yuya from Stardust always gets his designated sidequest in every Yakuza game, but Kaoru isn't even mentioned ONCE by Kiryu or anyone else.

>>15286256

Personally, I don't think any other game will match 0 story-wise. (Played 1-5 before it). I enjoyed kiwami, its Y0 but with 1's story + some new things. The gameplay is a tiny bit better but I think the overall atmosphere is better in 0. You'll like Kiwami unless you are SUPER anal about minimal changes regarding original material/source.

>>15286256

Kiwami's not better than 0, it's just the first game in 0's engine, with the styles being balanced. Most of the main story is mostly untouched with the addition of cutscenes which show Nishiki's downfall. The side content is a hodgepodge of sidemissions which are taken from the original game and some which are a continuation of 0, along with the trashfire that is the Memejima everywhere thing.

>>15286371

>not wanting Majima everywhere, even in your morning cereal

KYS faggot

>>15286426

Fuck off Majima, go merely pretend to be retarded some more.

>>15286256

>that it's at least as good as 0.

It's not. Kiwami 1 is still a pretty decent game but it's really half-baked compared to 0 (which, granted, is understandable given its relatively lower budget) in terms of the amount of content on offer, the amount of effort put into the bosses and even the soundtrack. I enjoyed the Majima Everywhere system more than most people seemed to as well, but even still I'd rather it wasn't in the game.

It does have some improvements over 0, like the fact that you can seamlessly switch between fighting styles, but not enough that I've found myself wanting to go back to it instead of 0 (or any of the other numbered games, really).

How do people enjoy this cutscene-filled shitfest?

>>15286580

>cuckchanner forgets we have IDs

>>15286580

More like boring minigame-filled shitfest. I have an opinion that only beat em up parts are actually fun.

>>15286580

Can we go a single day without a pirate making a total retard of themselves?

>>15286627

>can we go a single day without water being wet?

That's a tall order anon.

>>15286256

Kiwami lacks the mundanity of Zero, which makes it so intriguing right now. Yakuza 1 was a big tragedy of muscle and tears, like a Sonny Chiba movie: the epic saga unfold before you without much connection. Zero is more grounded and cynical, you carry more weight and this makes Kamurocho a little less one dimensional.

yakuza 0 isn't on ps2 you dumb fuck

Just started Yakuza 6 last night. Is it wrong that Kiyomi's voice gives me a boner?

>>15267508

Nope, that eye is a pretty old logo.

Having beaten the game I'm really glad I emulated Yakuza 1 and 2 before playing, I'm not sure how many other references there could be to 3 4 and 5, I know some of them from watching Hyper bit heroes video on the series, but from what I could tell I think 1 and 2 are the most important to enjoying Zero to the fullest extent, The game expects you to already know Kiryu and Majima well, so that by the end it's all the more stratifying when you see them take that step toward their future. Yakuza 2 really emphasizes the importance of Kiryu's tattoo and his title as The Dragon of Dojima, and that makes Zero's final boss pretty awesome, but I know for damn sure that final shot after the credits when the Yakuza 1 music starts playing would be no where near as satisfying if you didn't already have an understating of Majima and Kiryu's relationship, hard to think someone who's only Yakuza game is Zero would really get the significance of that "Kiryu-Chan!" if they've haven't heard Majima say it yet.

I guess it can seem unreasonable to want people to go back and play the PS2 versions, but I know that Kiwami's Majima everywhere system will really messes with the flow of Yakuza 1, when Majima shows up it's supposed to be an event, but with kiwami he's gonna pop up all the time, sure it will be fun since i'v already know 1's story, but I don't think that's the best way to experience 1 for the first time.

He still smokes, nothing was changed but the cover. Should be far more concerned over Denuvo. There is also a heinous amount of shills and b& posting cuckchan faggots ITT.

>>15290389

Indeed, from what I've seen and remember pretty much nothing was cut except for the cig on the cover. The game also looks fluid as fuck running at 60 FPS and it never goes below that, contrast that with any of the PS3 games which shit the bed regularly when it comes to framerate. Seeing Mine's purple heat stance which makes him heal and kill the framerate to sub-10 in the original not kill the framerate anymore was truly a sight to behold. If it comes to the west and it isn't a hackjob like the original release (I'm optimistic considering the current localization team) was it'll be the only game which I already own for which I'll drop shekels for the remaster.

>>15290389

What in the ever loving fuck is wrong with the disco minigame, how goddamn short is the window for these presses jesus

>>15303054

Don't worry too much about it, you'll get better with practice once you find the rhythm of each song. Just like the karaoke minigame, the button presses follow the rhythm of the song. The only way to get better at it is to practice.

>>15303110

I get that, and one tip that helped is to ignore the squares of epilepsy and focus on the beat, managed to actually score a single star that way. But goddamn is it frustrating to start, I just hit like an immediate brick wall.

>>15303142

Believe me, I was the same way, it's just that the way the squares shrink it's pretty much impossible to know when exactly to press them, it's the same with the disco heat move, I couldn't do it for shit until I took it slow and got the rhythm down, now I can do it whenever.

Just finished playing Yakuza 1 for the first time…

Story is nice, camera is horrible, combat seems unreliable sometimes but I loved to just stomp people's heads all the time.

Feels bad that Kiryu kinda got cucked, guess he sees Haruka more as Yumi's legacy and something to care about than as his legitimate child.

>>15235497

>>15309452

>Getting hype

>Ever

Neck yourself along with the ones you're defending, faggot.

>>15238185

Started having the same issues after 14 hours, here's what fixed:

"The cutscenes are apparently tied to the framerate, thus, whenever that jumps (which of course it does on mid- to high-end pcs) the sound can't catch up. The workaround that worked for me was limiting the framerate which (for whatever reason) is only possible via the game's .ini files.

So open your explorer and go to: Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Sega\Yakuza0

Within, you'll find the graphics.ini and audio.ini

First, open the audio.ini (which is also the only way to separately control volume, game itself only has a Master Volume slider) and change the following values as shown:

StereoMode=1

AudioMode=1

Save and close, on to graphics.ini:

VSyncEnabled=1

MaxFPS=60

VSync might already be enabled, but the maxFPS somehow defaults to 240, which is way above what the engine was supposed to handle. "

While my feels tell me that I'd like it more if he shows up in a substory as an eerily familiar looking and sounding man who needs Ichibanowitz's help to send something to Haruka and the orphans or something like that. However, I'd be lying if him being the secret boss wouldn't be the greatest thing.
