But just in Yakuza that you can train a dominatrix and have a chicken be your financial manager.

I still find that unlikely. In the British charts it entered at 8th but fell out of the top 40 the following week. In America it didn't manage to break the top ten best selling Playstation 4 titles. And 400,000 is actually a lot of sales, expecting it to all of a sudden rival Japanese sales might be expecting a bit too much (Even stuff like Persona 4 didn't manage to hit 400,000 sales in the West
)If you want a deep combat engine that focuses on character action, get Nioh.
If you want a great JRPG with a fun combat engine, Yakuza 0 might be right up your alley.
Really though the two are very different games.

What was the nail in the coffin? Mahjong? That certainly took some luck for me (for the specific hands). Still very possible though! Of course, if it's the time it takes, I certainly don't blame one for not wanting to wade through that.
Yes! Only available in Osaka though, so if you're Kiryu, you'll need to use the Shared Item Box or have him ride over to buy some if you would like to stock him up as well.

okay, cool. so far i've been playing on hard and have been doing fine with staminan xxs and royales. as long as i don't run out of any during a boss battle, i'll worry about that later
One of Majima's substories opens up a item called Peerless Habu Drink at the drug store which fills both health and heat to full.

Yakuza 0 is a game you might end up throwing 100+ hours on, I mean, I completed the game and had 80+ hours spent and didn't even touch the side content that much....
Basically it's very possible this game will eat into your Zelda playing time, if you're fine with that and love everything you've seen, then go for it!

yes, that is exactly what I mean. fuck him all the way to hell. the emotions Kiryu was feeling, the fist he made, the rage, the heat, that's exactly how I felt in reflection.
gotcha well I'm him in Kamurocho right now so I'll have to worry about that later. But thanks.
anyways,
where do I go to find Makimoro?
edit: figured I was gonna go to west park, but I figured I would give the empty lot a visit.

Had to tear myself away from cabaret club management to do an assignment. You guys weren't kidding when you said it was addicting as hell.

Yep. It's even better when you get grandma. So many rich guys want to chat with grandma.
Is the Dunkview relatively spoiler-free? I'm still grinding away at real estate in ch. 5 or 6.
Cheapos be happy, Club Xezuru may be the highest quality cabaret club in the entirety of Sotenbori (if not the world) but even you young man can afford its features during ugly days, twice a week our platinum cast takes a well deserved rest so all you people wanting an initial taster test enjoy the company of the best baachans in the business.

I just realized something today. Did they toned down the blood a little bit?
Like blood dripping on clothes, making them red. Also blood staying on the face. I remember such things from yakuza 3.
Now there is still blood flying around in Yakuza 0, but clothes never get dirty anymore.
Don't remember how it was in Yakuza 4.

I think it got toned back on later games as well. The later games (well 5 and up from memory, I don't remember 4) had less facial damage/blood compared to the earlier games (especially 3) which had some cool facial damage to really show how hard you were beating your enemies!

I've never played a Yakuza game. Pre-ordered after all the buzz. I love the characters, the side quest, the minigames, the city, and the silly moments. But damn the pacing is just so off for me and it feels like a chore getting to the parts I like.
The story is all over the place. I think I got past chapter 5 and pretty sure I'll end up trading this in and just watching Giant Bomb finish this. I suspect if this was a hit the next game is going to sell far fewer even with good reviews.

I believe it's perfectly reasonable that Majima is more of a straight arrow in this game in particular.
And jesus christ you guys i can't tell you how much i liked
Majima's party only got started .
He's on a goddam mission to save someone and his forced job requires him to be patient. You could see him starting to break free once he got into his outfit and freed from all that bullshit.And his final welcome to Kiryu at the end
Homare Nishitani being the proto-mad-dog, he is basically Majima's spirit animal. They had only a few enounters with each other but of course you could tell what they were going for.Dreams were passed on.

so
I dunno man. But I'm gonna keep playing.

I could sorta see that bullet to Makimura coming, but the thing is it a little superfluous drama. If that ugly ass master assassin is every bit the assassin that the late Tachibana was making him out to be, how could he miss a head shot? Unless the orders from Dojima was to shoot but not kill...what would be the point of that? To have her clinging to life and kill her later?
You could ask for help in lessening the tedium you are experiencing with whatever specific thing, just need to ask what you are currently having problems with. Advisors in this community won't be going anywhere.

What was the road block? I thought I hit it a couple of times and got over it (maybe for fear that this would be the first Yakuza title I didn't plat). Now I'm trying to dance my way pass 'I'm Going Make Her Mine" ..
By the way, peace is a good thing. I had to that with a few games in the past and I happy to report that my blood pressure returned to normal the following day.

What is "all over the place" about the story? The fact that it switches between characters? Because I think so far the story has great pacing (I'm on Ch. 10). If your pacing comment is because you keep playing minigames and sidequests instead of just focusing on the story missions, well...
There is one boss fight where I noticed Kiryu's suit starts getting messed up, but yeah other than that no battle damage.

So I just unlocked the

4th style
Im not sure how to select it. I've put points in its tree but it's not showing up on the style select mid battle.
You need to press square in the menu/pause screen.
It turns on/off the style so if you want to switch back, just hit square in the menu again.
Lvl 1 puts two tables in fever time. Lvl 2 puts up to four tables. Lvl 3 the entire place goes party. When you use depends on the situation.
If people are about to leave, fever time adds a little bit of time in a table. You can also trigger it without spending bar if you convince the customer to stay more time.

I didn't notice the prompt. Thanks!
I would love to

Yup but I was referring to the publisher. Reminds me of Jeanne D'Arc
where you fight some scrub like 50 times (exaggeration) in the game.
In the endgame right now. Damn Awano
kinda redeemed himself there. Went out like a boss.
Also I tried the bonus boss and got 1 hit TKO. Fuck that. Just gonna skip it and beat the game.
You know, I felt really bad

that fight. His theme music was even more heroic and upbeat than everyone else you fight. I felt like the bad guy in that situation, which was perfect for how Majima was feeling/acting at that moment. It was also a great way to show what a bro Nishiki is.

Finale spoilers
Awano sacrificing himself actually made sense. I think he saw his old self in Majima, and really admired him for it. He also really didn't respect Dojima especially because he used Lao Gui. Who isn't Japanese, and an outsider to the Yakuza.
Awano, Kuze, and Shibusawa complemented each other perfectly. Kuze - Front man fool, Shibusawa - Tactician (Wannabe Kazama), Awano - Money = Power. I think they were written strongly enough that other games could use a single one of them as the starring villain, The screen time all of them felt close to equal too.

Not that far yet, but Majima has a special heat move that disarms pistols and for Kiryu I just use beast to either tank hits or defeat them first.
When I started the game, I was immediately like... oh okay... Game structure will be like...
Kill Kuze! Kill Awano! Kill Shibusawa! Kill Endboss! And in a way, it was exactly that... but then again, not at all. A big reason why I could take it all seriously, not being constantly reminded of this being a videogame story.
