If there are large items nearby, you can grab them and use L1 with them to fully block bullets as you slowly make your way towards them.

OMG if I knew this ahead of time I probably would've been fine haha
made it to the top
of the boat. now a prerendered cutscene ensues...
used a whole lot of stamina royales though so I hope I have enough left to make it through this boss fight.

Everyone just know that there is a post-credits scene so don't drop the controller and run to your bedroom to cry, cry in front of your TV/monitor and wait for it.

I'm in competition with the Electronics King now also. I know the game wants me to buy all the properties, but I have standards! I don't need another crusty pachinko place.

okay,
why do they have to throw one bossfight on to you literally after another, this hideous mothafucker lao gui is on me and he's really hard to beat with all that health, the fuck do I do against him

edit: nvm I got him, but now back onto kiryu's side...Jesus this is bossfight after bossfight, bossfight fatigue over here!

OH MY GOD...was it really necessary to give this imbecile ANOTHER extra bar of health?!
edit: every time i face him head on he just keeps swinging, I don't get how I'm supposed to beat him

I didn't find any of the end-game fights too hard on Hard, but I did do a ton of sidequest shit.

what do you mean
follow his style changes?
yeah I probably should have invested more in real estate and side stories, my stats aren't really beefed up and Kiryu's having a hard time.Man I must have been too into real estate because my Kiryu was jacked - the boss didn't stand a chance
I thought I'd be able to beat this game tonight but now I'm having second thoughts. fuck.

Whoa, it's weird looking at Yakuza 1 and seeing how, despite being fundamentally the same kind of game, how poorly aged it seems to be mechanically. Nevermind the San Andreas looking graphics, off-key animations, CRT-friendly UI, and that bad dub - It's just weird seeing what are almost exactly the same gameplay mechanics I've been enjoying in Yakuza 0, but with like no polish whatsoever. Oh and Resident Evil-Camera gives me nausea, ESPECIALLY Resident Evil-Camera mixed with the Hitchcock Effect, which footage I've seen of Yakuza 1 is full of.
And out of curiosity, does the whole rest of the series take place in Kamurocho? Heh, guess that helps explains how these games get pumped out so quickly (in Japan) if they've been iterating on the same map for a decade.
It'll be interesting to compare Yakuza 1 side by side with Kiwami when it comes out in the west.

by far the most annoying part of the gameplay has to be when you're drop down and have to tap X to get the fuck back up

Did you remember to stock up on stamina royales beforehand?

of course I did but because of all the dickhead Yakuza I had to fight beforehand, on top of the ones with guns, I went through a whole bunch of them before making it to the top.

Kamorucho is in every mainline game.
Yakuza 1 - Kamorucho
Yakuza 2 - Sotenbori and Kamorucho
Yakuza 3 - Okinawa and Kamorucho
Yakuza 4 - Kamorucho (with rooftops and underground)
Yakuza 5 - Sotenbori, Nagasugai, Tsukimino, Kin'eicho and Kamorucho
Yakuza 6 - Hiroshima and Kamorucho

Yeah, it was Mahjong. I have played that mini-game for +10 hours now and I still haven't been able to get the majority of hands needed for CP list. Each time I think I got it, someone beats me to the punch and gets a win before I can complete my hand.
Last night after a couple of hours I just decided to stop. It's a huge time sink.
Thankfully I should be able to do that since I've already done the dancing sub-stories. They seemed impossible at first, but after a while I got used to the mechanics and wreck both of those annoying dancers. Hahaha.
I could be way off because this was like a week ago, but I remember him having what are basically variations of Brawler, Rush, and Beast. It can be easier if you adjust styles as he does.

Also what amazes me is how consistent Kazuma's appearance is between Yakuza 1 (and 6) and this.
Like, apart from Sergeant Johnson, I can't think of a single other character that survived the HD transition looking like the same character. In between some that were inexplicably aged worse than a US president* (Killzone 1's cast that transitioned into the sequels) and the majority that were suddenly modeled off of a famous actor because of the Hollywood fetish the industry got infected with last gen, I'm struggling to come up with other examples.
Really got to hand it to Team RGG with their consistency in character designs over the decade.
EDIT:

Damnit I missed an amazing opportunity to slip in an Old Snake joke there.

Oh... I can help man. I thought I was going to throwup playing Mahjong until I finally understood how to call riichi. To put this in perspective I lost 9 out of 10 times before understand the base rule.. now I win 9 out of 10.
Are you hitting the circle button when your hand is ready (while completely closed)? If so, you can call riichi and the game will play to your favor. Just keep in mind that the game will not prompt you as it does with other calls.

So, some thoughts on Majima's ending:
Was there a point to that scene where he's walking the streets being assaulted by some punks? I think the setup is a little lame - "oh man I can't believe Shimano is playing me, woe is me" - but it was very specific that he got kicked in the head, just a bit after Tachibana was killed by a strike to the head. Maybe that's part of why he goes crazy. Otherwise the game didn't really sell the transition to Mad Dog. I loved his style in the beginning, but his shitty haircut and snake jacket sucks.
Oh, and I didn't catch the fact that Makoto never knew his name. It's probably done for him to be able to make a clean transition, but while blind she recognized Oda's voice from years ago, and now she doesn't recognize the guy who spent a bunch of time with her. At least she remembers him.

Yeah, I know how to do riichi. The problem is that I never manage to get riichi ippatsu which happens when the next tile after saying riichi is one of the tiles that gets you a win.
Also, I haven't be able to get a haneman and haven't been able to get that hand the you have to get 5 times (maneman?). I know how I'm supposed the get them. But once again the problem is that I don't get the tiles that I need in order to form them. It's all just gotten very frustrating.
Ending spoilers
In the last scene Majima knew that she would recognize his voice, so he didn't say a single word in front of Makoto.

Had my best score on OutRun (2.5 mil) and still came up short by half in the Electronics King battle. This is a way harder challenge than the karaoke battle. I mean, I know I suck at OutRun, though I blame it somewhat on the controls compared with the original arcade wheel. The d-pad is not precise enough and the stick has no finesse.

Ah, I didn't pick up on that either. Probably because I was playing the last 4-5 hours straight and it was getting late.

And now, he and Majima still look somewhat cartoonish and stylisized, like video game characters, while everyone else is based on real actors and looks realistic.

I don't know, Kiryu looks fucking amazing in Yakuza 6. He did look a bit off in Yakuza 3 and 4, but he looked wonderful again in 5. 6 is a pretty hefty change to his face.And now, he and Majima still look somewhat cartoonish and stylisized, like video game characters, while everyone else is based on real actors and looks realistic.

I tried out the demo for the first time recently, and my jaw straight up dropped when the game started. Couldn't believe that it was all in-game and then the cutscene transitioned into gameplay.

is the demo still available? I'm conflicted, i want the full surprise but i also want to see it run on my TV! (would have been even better if the game was 60 fps, but hey, i already played 4 and 5 so it won't be a big shock)

Did you defeat his club in the final cabaret battle?
Cause then you're supposed to
fight him one-on-one, and then you're supposed to go to the grand for the big resolution (a tough fight so bring healing items)
It is, but only on JPN or HK PSN. You need to make an account for that region, access the store and "buy" the free demo. Then log in with the account on your ps4, go to library and download and play.
The demo will be restricted to the first chapter and most of the side stuff will be locked. You don't even need to download the full game, just the initial 12 or 13 GB of the game is enough for the content that you're allowed to access.
You can check it out, but I HIGHLY suggest skipping through all of the cutscenes, just in case.

Once you've unlocked the business, go to the bowling alley and keep playing split games with the lady at the counter, then once the friendship gauge is full, she'll fill you in on the details.
Also did you like not see the cover of literally every other game in the series which has Kiryu front and center
and did you think they'd have a protagonist like Majima just to kill him off in the end?
Although that'd be pretty badass.

just finished chapter 11, quick observation:
0 > 2 > 4 > 3 = 5 > 1 i guess? it's been forever, kiwami might bump this up
honestly 5 has a lot of my favorite dudes but has troubled plot/villains etc, 3 is usually lower with me but replaying it recently, it's got some great stuff in it
just...it's been forever since 2, but the plot/character in this one is the series' top notch so far. unless it pulls a final fantasy level of shitting the bed in the 4th quarter, this is it for me

Yeah, that took me some time on Hard. I had a bunch of Royales, Sacrifice Stones & Guns to take out anyone firing at me in advance. Was still a hard fight though, kind of wish I had stopped around chapter 12 to soak up the CP and real estate.

I've asked this before, but can you just sell off the sea creatures you catch, or is there another use for them, other than for that one Majima substory?
