I *think* you have to befriend the owners of two of the stores (convenience and sushi store) to get ownership of 100%. You can't buy either of them.

Did they add " weight " to the combat
I played a bit of five and while over the top and funny I didn't find the combat very "impactful"

Nah man, don't feel bad that asshole deserved it. Also I'd appreciate it if you could spoiler the name.
The combat felt more weighty pre Y5. I remember the more arcadey feeling being something I was noticing quite a lot when I jumped from Y4 to 5.

Oh, we topped that thread a long time ago. That one only has 47 pages.
50 posts per page for life!
Edit: Lol, I just realized that Rymuth has said the same thing hahaha.

I get what you're saying when it comes to 5. Not a problem in 0, though. Few games have combat as satisfying on a basic level as Yakuza 0.

Who cares how many posts this thread has.
I want to see how many unique posters this thread has compared to other GAF Yakuza threads.

we're killin it b
no sales figures, but this time we went up against heavy hitters like fuckin' resident evil & kingdom hearts and came back with people struggling to find a copy in stores/online
0 happened. kiwami's happening. 6 is happening. yakuza brand is brolic in the west like we've never been! so, so happy to see 0 - potentially the best in the series - get more folks on board <3
And many very happy first time and long time Yakuza players too. It's not often a game can cater so well for both.
I got this uesterday. Was staring at it on psn for a while but couldn't justify the cost. Decided to check my local CeX on the off-chance as I had games to trade jn.... and they had a single copy that had /just/ been traded in!
Fate right? They couldn't find the disc.... Took 3 staff members and the manager, but we found it and I got it!
So far this game is superb. I've never played a Yakuza game before, but it's a series I've always wanted to get into. SEGA arcade style mechanics are some of the best things in gaming, and they're everywhere here. Very surprised at the level of polish and strength of the art design too, this game is obviously cross gen but it still looks great.
One question: is there a way to find out your current objective? I seem to be missing something as I skipped tre last dialogue window by mistake and it was telling me what to do and now I seem to be aimlessly running around the city. Earlier save is a bit far back.

It's a pink glowing dot on your map. The minimap should also show a pink arrow.

Pause the game and look at the bottom left. The objective should be there.

Not present currently.
Yeh, there's some text telling me what to do. "Ask around town" I guess means wander and overhear stuff/talk with random people as there's nothing showing on my maps.

You'll see some NPCs around town with a 'dialogue box' on top of their head. They don't show on map, so you just have to walk around town to find them randomly.

Pretty much. You'll hone in on what you need to do fairly quickly.
Holy shit interjections in Karaoke are actually hilarious.
At the start when he was talking with he loan shark I was a bit concerned. He seemed stoic and humourless and not a fun character to play as, but Kiryu is a major goofball, he's just great.
Thanks people.

The first part is the most bullshit but very doable. Second part is easy. Here's what I did.
Switch to Legend, get close and keep doing the combo. Once he activates his heat mode and gets armor in all attacks, switch to beast mode and keep wailing on him. Be sure to carry him towards the center of the stage, and keep changing up directions when you attack so that he fires cannon balls in a direction you won't actually move to.
Once the second part starts, it's simply a matter of running the fuck away until the helicopter drops a bottle. pick up that bottle and you have invincibility so keep hitting that fuck in any style. Be careful though that he can pick up the bottle too, and get the same benefit.

Played so much cabaret that I though I could legit start a cabaret business in the uk. The mini games could easily be sold as standalone games at a reduced price.
Yea, the second part is the one that gets me good. That strategy seems to be what you have to do as it's pretty strict about the way to do it looking at it. Will try tomorrow and hopefully complete it.
it should tell you in the pause menu

My strategy was to Rush him and use Beast on him while he's down. When he gets Heat, try to finish him off as quick as possible , always Rushing behind him because at this point his beam attack is a OHKO.
Second part just grab the invincibility bottle and wail on him.

It was just 2 bullets. It takes whole clips to down a named character in the game.
Brawler absolutely destroys him. Simply spam the SSST combo into grab until he switches.
Legend also works with the multitude of grab combos
If you have the brawler drunk upgrade, go get hammered and bring lots of knives and tauriner/staminan x to the fight. Bonus damage if you have the accessory giving extra attack when drunk. Cheap but effective.

Ok, some questions:
1. In Pool minigame, in what way does aiming the red dot changes the ball course? For example if you're aiming a little to the right, does the ball tilt to the left or something?
2. Pool minigame again, how can you shot slowly? I tried moving the right stick slightly and it won't register as a shot; I moved it more and it becomes a powerful shot.
And the most important one:
3. Is the Gandhara videos an accurate representation of Japanese grav..(gravure? gravire?) videos? I still don't get the point of it. It's... not as sexy as I expected.

Basically yeah I think the higher the star rating the less likely you'll need to go defend your actual property in fights. The modifier numbers below (the 1 -1 0 2 2 stuff for example) deal with the chances of getting into a Money Battle with Whichever King's territory you're collecting from. Though in my entire real estate experience Money Battle and even defending territories were pretty easy to the point of inconsequential. Once you've beaten a Billionaire in a boss fight you can pretty much remove security from your property entirely.
Thanks! Think I need to upgrade them, I own all of them according to the checklist.
Christ i thought it was just me! Happy to see someone else plough an insane number of hours into this...

Not middle eastern, but if you're looking for a black character there is always Gary.
I don't remember this guy but I do remember there's another black guy that you chase after in Yakuza 3, makes a cameo in Yakuza 5 (I think)

That's Mack-desu.
Gary "Buster" Holmes was in Yakuza 1 (and 2?)
He was also in one of the ps3 games, maybe yakuza 3.

So I'm only in Chapter 2 by now, but this shapes up to be one of the most entertaining games I've ever played. Just everything about this game is extremely entertaining, the Minigames, the excellent side quests and especially the battles against random street thugs. I absolutely adore the fighting mechanics in this game, they're ridiculously satisfying. You can really feel the force behind your punches and the impact they have on the poor fellas who end up to be your enemies 
Also, and I know I ain't seen nothing yet, the story is already totally captivating and I can't wait too see how everything plays out... Brilliant story telling that other games could learn a lot from. And of course let's not forget the excellent humor, they really nailed it with that. Can't wait to continue playing.
Oh, and big thanks to everyone who vocally supported and hyped this game from the beginning, it really deserves all the praise it gets. Let's hope the Yakuza fan base in the West keeps on growing, carefully crafted games like this should be enjoyed by as many people as possible (and I suppose the others too, but sadly never got to play one of them).

Wait untill you start chapter 3. Best character introduction movie in a game ever.
Its awesome to see people trickle in here and discovering this game. I'm currently on Chapter 10 and just fully enjoying the game, more so then any other game in recent history. Its rare to see a game nail both gameplay and story while also providing a great selection of side activity.
